WE'RE ALL ALONE Recorded by Boz Scaggs (1976)
Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forever more... forever more
Close your eyes my dear
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone... we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear... oh, hold me dear
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone... all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Owe it to the wind
Hold me dear
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
WHAT MATTERS MOST Recorded by Kenny Rankin (1980)
It's not how long we held each other's hand
What matters is how well we love each other
It's not how far we've traveled on our way
But what we found to say
It's not the spring we've seen
But all the shades of green.
It's not how long I held you in my arms
What matters is how sweet the years together
It's not how many summertime
We have to give to fall
The early morning smile
We cheerfully recall.
What matters most
Is that we love at all.
It's not how many summertime
We have to give to fall
The early morning smile
We cheerfully recall
WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO Recorded by Whitney Houston
I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day...
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately...
So here I am
And can you please tell me... oh
Chorus:
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me
I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away...
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind
Repeat chorus
And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know...
WILDFLOWER
She's faced the hardest times
You could imagine
And many times her eyes
Fought back the tears
And when her youthful world
Was about to fall in
Each time her slender shoulders
Bore the weight of all her fears
And the song that no one hears
Still rings in midnight silence
In her ears
Let her cry
For she's a lady
Let her dream
For she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
And if by chance that I should hold her
Let me hold her for a time
And if allowed but one possession
I will pick her from the garden
To be mine
Be careful how you touch her
For she'll awaken
For sleep's the only freedom that she knows
And when you look into her eyes
You won't believe
The way she's always paying
For a debt she never owes
And the silent wind still blows
That only she can hear
And so she goes
Let her cry
For she's a lady
Let her dream
For she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
Let her cry
For she's a lady
Let her dream
For she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower
Growing wild
WONDERFUL TONIGHT Recorded by: Eric Clapton
It's late in the evening,
she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me,
"Do I look all right?"
And I say,
"Yes, you look wonderful tonight"
We go a party
and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
that's walking around with me
And then she asks me,
"Do you feel all right?"
And I say,
"Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you
It's time to go home now
and I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her,
as I turn out the light
I say,
"My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight"
