Just a Man
05:28

I’m just a man, just trying to find my way
I’m just a man, living life just day by day
Can’t you see, that I’m not who I pretend to be
I’m just a man, and you can’t see that I’m alone
I’m just a man, but I can’t make it on my own
There’s a smile on my face
But a fear inside my heart
I can’t show you that I’m broken
No I have to play the part
And I don’t know what it is you think of me
But look deep into my eyes and you will see
That I’m just a man
I’m just a man, on a journey through the wild
I’m just a man, though it feels like I’m a child
Don’t you know, that everything I do
I do because I love you
I’m just a man, trying to live a life that’s true
I’m just a man, there’s only so much I can do
I just cannot understand what all
These feelings are about
If I’m meant to be so strong
Then why am I still filled with doubt
And I hope I’ve been the man you needed me to be
And one day when you look back I hope you’ll see
That I’m just a man
I’m just a man, you won’t believe what I have seen
I’m just a man, but I still don’t know
What that means
But I’m sure, that someone up above
Is looking after me
I’m just a man, and one day I’ll be gone
I’m just a man, will they remember me for long?
Do the people in my life know that I love them?
Will they miss me when my presence is gone?
Oh and I don’t have to be ashamed to cry now
And I don’t have to be afraid to love
And I don’t wanna have to say goodbye now
Cos just the other day I was a boy
Now I’m just a man

Take Me Far Away
04:25
|
|||
|
I’m tired of people in my face
I’m tired of working in this crowded place
I need my freedom, I need my space
I need some time alone
I wanna get out the city, and head to the seas
I wanna throw off these chains, and do as I please
I wanna live my life on a summer’s breeze
I wanna spend some time alone
I wanna go far away
I wanna go far away
So take me far away
Take me out where the moon shines bright
Take me out til the dawn’s first light
Take me out and we can make it right tonight
Take me far away
Strange how life never fails to turn
The more you live, the more you learn
The more you love, the more you burn
You need some time alone
I don’t care what you say, but I’m gonna try
I’m gonna head out into the open sky
I ‘m gonna spread my wings and learn how to fly
So I can spend some time alone
I wanna go far away
I wanna go far away
So take me far away
Take me out where the moon shines bright
Take me out til the dawn’s first light
Take me out and we can make it right tonight
Take me far away
When I look at my life and I count up the cost
I know I’ve gained a little more than I’ve lost
And a voice on the wind sends a message across
You spend too much time alone
So come along with me, grab a hold of my heart
We’ll take to the road and make a brand new start
We’ll breathe a new life in, we’ll never be apart
We’ll never need to be alone
I wanna go far away
I wanna go far away
So take me far away
Take me out where the moon shines bright
Take me out til the dawn’s first light
Take me out and we can make it right tonight
Take me far away

We're Gonna Make It
05:29
|
|||
|
You and I are travelers, and we choose our own way
We’re all just wondering
how to make it through the day
But if we stay together
And we see each other through
Then there’s nothing in this world that we cannot do
And every time I turn around
I marvel at what I have found
As long as I’ve got you beside me I can breathe again
And every time I close my eyes, I always get to realise
That even in my darkest hour, I can start again
I know we’re gonna make it
You and I are neighbours, I can always count on you
If things fall I apart, you’re the one that I cling to
We are brothers and sisters
in a cold and lonely world
We’re all searching for a way to make it right
And every time I turn around
I marvel at what I have found
As long as I’ve got you beside me I can breathe again
And every time I close my eyes, I always get to realise
That even in my darkest hour, I can start again
I know we’re gonna make it
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna see you cry
But even if we’re miles apart
You’ll still be in my heart
I will never let you go
And now it’s time to rise up
and take a stand for what is right
We will break through the darkness
if we turn towards the light
We can make such a difference
if we choose to believe
And day by day oh yeah, I know we’re gonna make it
And every time I turn around
I marvel at what I have found
As long as I’ve got you beside me I can breathe again
And every time I close my eyes, I always get to realise
That even in my darkest hour, I can start again
I know we’re gonna make it

Juliet and Rosaline
05:16
|
|||
|
She had dark brown hair and a gold complexion
Pretty brown eyes like I’d never ever seen before
She could break me down with just a single stare
Cut me deep with just a single step, oh Juliet
My Juliet
And I would give anything
To run my fingers through your hair tonight
And I would give anything
To hold you in my arms til the morning light
And I would give anything
To know that you are mine for the rest of my life
Juliet
I remember my Rosaline
I remember that she was mine
I remember the times we shared, just her and I
But somehow I thought I needed more
And somehow I walked right out the door
Oh Rosaline
And I would give anything
To be the man you wanted me to be
And I would give anything
If you could put your trust back into me
And I would give anything
Oh Rosaline if you could only see
Rosaline
I’m just a regular Romeo
I’m easy come, I’m easy go
I’m stuck in the middle, I don’t know where turn
I’m running out of time, Juliet or Rosaline?
And I would give anything
To melt away the doubt that hides in you
And I would give anything
To get you to believe in what is true
And I would give anything
Oh babe, I only wanna speak to you
It’s not about being second best
It’s not about being better than the rest
It’s not about getting rid of you for her
I’m running out of time... Juliet or Rosaline?
And I would give anything
To look into your eyes and know you’re mine
And I would give anything
To hold you close to me just one more time
And I would give anything
To choose between my Juliet and Rosaline
I guess that I’ve gotta go now
I guess that I’ll never know now
Don’t you ever trust in a dream anytime
I gotta stand tall and be strong now
I gotta stand firm and move on now
I gotta forget about my Juliet and Rosaline

Remember the Good Times
03:10
|
|||
|
I could write another sad song about
How empty I feel inside now
Without you in my heart anymore
I could write about my heartache, about
The tears I’ve been crying but
I don’t wanna be sad no more
I don’t need to tell you how
There’s no way to fix it now
But let’s forget about today now baby
Let’s remember the good times
And forget about the bad times
Let’s remember the love we shared
The beautiful way we cared
Let’s remember the long the summer nights
And forget about this cold winter wind
Let’s wash away this hurt, oh baby
And remember the good times
Let’s remember the good times
And forget about the bad times
Let’s remember the love we shared
The beautiful way we cared
Let’s remember the long the summer nights
And forget about this cold winter wind
Let’s wash away this hurt, oh baby
And remember the good times

You're My Friend
04:24
|

|
I wanna walk with you
When the world has got you down
I wanna talk with you
When you need someone around
I wanna stand by you
Til the world don’t stand no more
I wanna sit by you until the final door
Cos you’re my friend, and I love you
And every day I’m here for you
And til the end, I’ll see you through
Because I really care for you
You’re my friend
There was a time in my life
When I was on my own
But then you came, now I know I’m not alone
Through the joy, through the pain
Through the sunshine and the rain
You stayed with me, and I’ll never be the same
I never wanna lose you
I just don’t know what I’d do
I’m always gonna choose you
And I know you’d choose me too
Cos you’re my friend, and I love you
And every day I’m here for you
And til the end, I’ll see you through
Because I really care for you
You’re my friend

Goodbye
03:03
|

|
Goodbye it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know why
There’s a tear in my eye
Cos I loved you
And I’ll love you still
No I’ll never forget you
You’re still number one
Goodbye, I don’t wanna say goodbye
Now you’re up in the sky
There’s a tear in my eye
When I see your face
I see you in a much better place
And you haven’t left us
You’ve only gone home
No words could be said
No song could be sung
To tell you just how much we love you
To thank you for what you have done
Cos good things just happen to bad people
It seems like they never get stung
And bad things just happen to good people
And only the good die young
Goodbye, it’s time to say goodbye
I know that I’ll have to try
Although there’s a tear in my eye
Since time began, there’s been no better man
And we’ll never forget you, you’re still number one
Together, we’ll say goodbye
We’ll see you fly, with tears in our eyes
Together we’ll stand, hand in hand
Yes we’ll do it together, together for you

Song for the Distant
03:01
|
|||
|
Where have all the simple times gone
They are gone but are they really gone for good?
Three voices harmonizing oh so beautifully
Will it finish long before it ever should? Oh...
When we were boys you know
We made the world go round
Singing songs with just a piano and guitar
And I was me and you were you, but music made us one
And everybody told us we were going far
Far away, far away
Far away, far away
You’re so far away
Take care old friend you know we love you all the way
There’s no easy way for us to say goodbye
Don’t let them get to you, don’t let them get you down
Spread your wings and let them teach you how to fly
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly away
Fly away
