Down Easy 03:42

DOWN EASY Across a crowded barroom Cupid’s arrow finds its mark Our bodies lock together Dirty dancing in the dark Playing footsie at my table Another round of doubles We’d better pull the plug right now ‘Cause it can only lead to trouble Baby can’t you see Someone’s waiting up for me And tonight I’ll be going home alone So I’ve gotta let you down Down easy I’m gonna let you down Down slow I’d really love to love ya But I already have another If that don’t work I’ll be sure to let you know Imaginations running wild God it’s so much fun to flirt We gotta put an end to this Or we’re all gonna hurt Your body’s built for lovin’ We were made to bump and grind I gotta find the exit now Before I change my mind Baby can’t you see Someone’s waiting up for me And tonight I’ll be going home alone So I’ve gotta let you down Down easy I’m gonna let you down Down slow I’d really love to love ya But I already have another If that don’t work I’ll be sure to let you know If you had come my way on any other day Maybe we would have a chance But my heart’s already taken And I know your heart is breakin’ But I ain’t makin’ time for new romance Just once more last dance Then I gotta let you down Down easy I’m gonna let you down Down slow I’d really love to love ya But I already have another If that don’t work I’ll be sure to let you know I’d really love to love ya But I already have another If that don’t work I’ll be sure to let you know If that don’t work I’ll be sure to let you know If that don’t work I’ll be sure to let you know

Next Time 03:14
lyrics

NEXT TIME Another lover gone It’s becoming a routine Fireworks Then I’m a jerk Nothing in between But I know, yes I know this time what I did wrong Good intentions Lack of attention Knew it all along Next time I’m gonna walk her in the moonlight Next time I’m gonna tell her how I feel Next time I’m gonna rock her until midnight And she’ll never have to wonder if my love is real I learned my lesson and it’s better late than never And the next time I fall in love it will be forever Starting again Back at square one (it’s no fun) Never any doubt Always thinking ‘bout The foolish things I’ve done But I know, yes I know in my heart what’s true Past is past Gotta make love last If it’s the last thing that I do Next time I’m gonna walk her in the moonlight Next time I’m gonna tell her how I feel Next time I’m gonna rock her until midnight And she’ll never have to wonder if my love is real I learned my lesson and it’s better late than never And the next time I fall in love it will be forever Don’t you know by now? Don’t you know it yet? Time won’t wait for you You gotta start givin’ ‘stead of livin’ in regret Ohhhh . . . Next time I’m gonna walk her in the moonlight Next time I’m gonna tell her how I feel Next time I’m gonna rock her until midnight And she’ll never have to wonder if my love is real I learned my lesson and it’s better late than never And the next time I fall in love it will be forever Yeah the next time I fall in love it will be . . . . . forever No more next times No more next times No more next times

EASY TO FALL So you’ve broken up But girl you know this ain’t the end Through the bad times and the sad times that are coming You can always count on me as your friend It’s so easy to fall in love So easy to fall in love It’s so easy to fall in love But so hard to get over it Yeah! Now you’re down and out With no idea what you can do When you don’t know if you’re coming or you’re going I will always be right there beside you It’s so easy to fall in love So easy to fall in love It’s so easy to fall in love But so hard to get over it Yeah! It’s only natural (We love falling in love) Don’t think it happens only to you (We love falling) It’s only natural (We love falling in love) Falling in love is what hearts do – don’t be blue! It’s so easy to fall in love So easy to fall in love It’s so easy to fall in love But so hard to get over it Yeah! No you’re not alone ‘Cause girl, you know, I’ve been there too But the heart is made for laughing and loving Won’t be long till you find somebody new It’s so easy to fall in love So easy to fall in love It’s so easy to fall in love But so hard to get over it And we’ll never get over it ‘Cause we don’t want to get over it Yeah!

It's Been a Long Time 04:05

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME It’s been a long time since I’m walking by your window It’s been a long time since I’m knocking on your door Many days and sleepless nights have passed The memories fade both too slow and fast Since I found out you don’t want me anymore It’s been a long time since I held you close in my arms It’s been a long time since you told me that you cared And I confess that not a day goes by When I awake alone and wonder why And I reach out to touch you but there’s no one there Never knew love before, never met no one like you And I’m always gonna wonder what might have been World spinning circles now, but there’s one thing I know It’s gonna be a long, long time till I love that way again It’s been a long time since you whispered soft in my ear It’s been a long time since I gazed into your eyes And I remember how it used to be I told you I loved you, you said you loved me But then the next day found us saying our goodbyes Never knew love before, never met no one like you And I’m always gonna wonder what might have been World spinning circles now, but there’s one thing I know It’s gonna be a long, long time It’s gonna be a long, long time It’s gonna be a long, long time till I love that way again Till I love that way again Till I love that way again

Toward the Light 06:08
lyrics

TOWARD THE LIGHT Tonight I am alone And memories go floating through my mind I’m far away from home And I don’t know what I am trying to find So much has slipped away from my hands I’m trying to remember who I am By reading the story on the sands Of my life I wonder where you are What happened to the friendship that we had? We’ve both traveled so far Why did we have to go on separate paths? Oh, and that list is so long I don’t appreciate things till they’re gone But then it’s just too late so I move on With my life Changes upon changes, will the world forever spin? Don’t know where I’m going, and I’m not sure where I’ve been But it’s all right As long as I keep moving toward the light And what have I become? Is this where I was hoping I would be? I’ve lived life on the run Always a step ahead of what you see So many changes that I go through I can’t keep track of me much less you But there is nothing else that I can do In my life Changes upon changes, will the world forever spin? Don’t know where I’m going, and I’m not sure where I’ve been But it’s all right As long as I keep moving toward the light What does the future hold? Will I ever learn how to play the game? With each day I grow old But deep inside I seem to stay the same What secrets wait for me around the bend? Will today’s stranger one day be my friend? Well I won’t know until I reach the end Of my life Changes upon changes, will the world forever spin? Don’t know where I’m going, and I’m not sure where I’ve been But it’s all right As long as I keep moving toward the light As long as I keep moving toward the light As long as I keep moving toward the light
