It Began 03:37
Yes I must confess Love is blind and feelings make my life a mess True, its so true something changed in me the day that I met you It began With a heartbeat It began with a single breath It began when life started and the moment changed so fast It began the day that I met you it began the day that I met you Come, its real fun Fun to live within this new life I've begun See the change in me I once was bound but now I'm free It began With a heartbeat It began with a single breath It began when life started and the moment changed so fast It began the day that I met you it began the day that I met you Walk in water deep the ground won't touch your feet and all that you will keep is all you can't leave behind... its all in your mind. It began With a heartbeat It began with a single breath It began when life started and the moment changed so fast It began the day that I met you it began the day that I met you It began

Long journey on the road thats marked ahead love if I stop to rest, I will lose my way Many questions, bout the who, what, why and often and just how far I go today... How come all the guys I like to kiss have better things to do maybe so I can chase my dreams again How come all the times I take a chance at starting something new I gain a love but quickly lose a friend Learn from me says Love Learn from me Shake off your heavy burden and find rest Learn from me says Love Learn from me Remind yourself that this is just a test... and pass on by, to the other side. Broke my heart again, you'd think I'd learned the first time to duck down, to bow out when danger looms But I thought a second try, would somehow change the outcome so I joined the chain of fools chain chain chain Learn from me says Love Learn from me Shake off your heavy burden and find rest Learn from me says Love Learn from me Why don't you learn from me, learn from me, learn from me Let it go this love won't stay, let the chips fall where they may Allow the ordinary to take its course Let it go, its crying out, don't you fear now, don't you doubt Love is something you cannot force Learn from me Learn from me says Love Learn from me Shake off your heavy burden and find rest Learn from me says Love Learn from me Remind yourself that this is just a test... and pass on by, to the other side. ooooo ya know..

The basic interpretation of the song is "For all that You have done for me, I thank You everyday, I thank You all my life, for there is none like You."

You can find the lyrics & the Studio version of this song with full band, horns, bells and whistles on the album "Songs For Tall Women & The short Men who love them"

Sunset 05:04
Videos and Neon Signs Become the beat thats keeping... ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti time And sure you're feeling dizzy now but trust me later you'll feel fine, you'll feel fine The pavement underneath my feet takes a turn and makes me a fool Because I'm walking awkward on this boulevard While everyone around me looks so cool. Sunset. The sun sets in every other valley but the sun never sets in my town you can feel the darkness hanging on your shoulders as the lights go up and never settle down Sunset Take me in Take me to where you never lay to sleep Sunset Take me in Far, fast, forward, take me deep. Take me deep. the old man living downstairs, he don't like me So, theres one way to get inside my place Its through the quietness of the back door Life is better see my face Oooo its better when he doesn't see my face On Sunset Yeah on Sunset But whats the good in early mornings, unless they are the end of all those lonely nights walking Sunset Blvd Looking for a friend, said I'm looking for a friend on Sunset. On Sunset. Oh Oh The sun sets in every other valley but the sun never sets in my town you can feel the darkness hanging on your shoulders as the lights go up and never settle down Sunset Take me in To where you never lay to sleep Sunset Take me in as the deep cries to the deep. la da da da da da ... ooo Sunset....

Never 03:58
Leave the world behind and hold me close forever I've waited all this time, still the distance said Never. Never to hold, never to love, never to be And this never has been haunting me Never to have, never to feel, never to touch and this never is never enough. No one in this lifetime, could change how I love you They lie if they say, they love you, cause no one else can love the way that I do Don't believe them, don't believe them Don't believe their lies, Let me hold your heart and look into you eyes But its Never to hold, never to love, never to be And this never has been haunting me Never to have, never to feel, never to touch and this never is never enough. The space between you and me will grow but all I want is you with me all I ever wanna know all I ever wanna know But its, Never to hold, never to love, never to be And this never has been haunting me Never to have, never to feel, never to touch and this never is never enough. Leave the world behind, and hold me close forever...
