Never in a Million Years
Oh, if I could touch you,
It'd be a once in a lifetime dream come true,
And oh, if I could have you,
just one night,
just one time,
But I know I'll never get the chance,
I'll never get a second glance,
Never in a million years,
Never in a thousand tears,
If I could ever hold you,
I'd never let go,
Never in a million years.
How I need you,
If you could only see inside my heart,
And oh, to be near you,
close enough, to reach and touch,
well I've thought it over in my mind,
If I could walk across the bridge of time,
Never in a million years,
Never in a thousand tears,
If I could ever hold you
I'd never let go,
Never in a million years.
But I know, I'll never, never, never get the chance,
I'll never get a second glance,
Never, in a million years,
never in a thousand tears,
If I could ever hold you,
I'd never let you go,
never.
Never in a million years,
Never in a thousand tears,
If I could ever hold you,
I'd never let go,
Never in a million years!

I
Know You By Heart
Midnights
in winter
The glowing fire
Lights up your face in orange and gold
I see your sweet smile
Shine through the darkness
Its line is etched in my memory
So I'd know you by heart
Mornings in April
Sharing our secrets
We'd walk until the morning was gone
We were like children
Laughing for hours
The joy you gave me lives on and on
’Cause I know you by heart
I still hear your voice
On warm summer nights
Whispering like the wind
Oh oh oh oh
You left in autumn
The leaves were turning
I walked down roads of orange and gold
I saw your sweet smile
I heard your laughter
You're still here beside me every day
’Cause I know you by heart
’Cause I know you by heart
(Diane Scanlon/Eve Nelson)
How am I suppose to Live Without You.
I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
Didn't come here for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone
Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone ...

The
Best Was Yet To Come
Laura Branigan
Just a small town girl in the city
lights
The best was yet to come
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
The best was yet to come
How were you to know
That you would be the lucky one
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best is yet to come
You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung
Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come
I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
When you were and livin' in a dream
In the moment that it takes
You find you made your first mistake
Like the setting sun...
You turn around it's gone
Just a small town girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped
Oh - how was she to know
Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best is yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come
Will
You Still Love Me Tomorrow
(C.King/G.Goffin)
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure?
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I, can I believe the magic of your sigh?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell, tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
How
Can I Help You Say Goodbye?
Through
the back window of a '59 wagon,
I watched my best friend, Jamie, slippin' further away.
I kept on wavin' 'til I couldn't see her.
And through my tears, I asked again, why we couldn't stay.
Mama whispered softly: "Time will ease your pain.
"Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same."
And
she said: "How can I help you to say goodbye?
"It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry.
"Come, let me hold you and I will try.
"How can I help you to say goodbye?"
I
sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase.
I held a picture of our wedding day.
His hands were trembling; we both were crying.
He kissed me gently, and then he quickly walked away.
I called up Mama; She said: "Time will ease your pain.
"Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same."
And
she said: "How can I help you to say goodbye?
"It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry.
"Come, let me hold you and I will try.
"How can I help you to say goodbye?"
Sitting
with Mama, alone in her bedroom.
She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand.
She said: "I have to go now, my time here is over."
And with her final words, she tried to help me understand.
Mama whispered softly: "Time will ease your pain."
"Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same."
And
she said: "How can I help you to say goodbye?
"It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry.
"Come, let me hold you and I will try.
"How can I help you to say goodbye?"
