Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
Or the same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day

Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day

Like a flower drinking from the falling rain
The same rain that could wash it away
Gives it strength, gives it water
And before you know, another day

It Feels Like Rain

Down here the river meets the sea
In the sticky heat I feel you open up to me
Love comes out of no where, baby, oh, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Lying underneath the stars right next to you
And I’m wondering who you are, and how do you do, how do you do baby
Oh, the clouds roll in across the moon, and the wind howls out your name
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

We never gonna make that bridge tonight, baby
Set across the Pontchartrain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Batten down the hatches, baby
Leave your heart out on your sleeve
Looks like we’re in for stormy, stormy, stormy weather
That ain’t no cause to leave
Just like
Let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
It feels like rain
Baby can you feel it, can you feel it
Feels like rain
Let your love, let your love come down
Oh, down on me

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You’re so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only ’cause you’re lonely, they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there

Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

Beautiful Night

I thought it would rain forever
Caught in the flood
Reaching for some high ground
Just before I went down

It’s hard for me to remember
Just how I got through
Now I’m lying on the cool sand
Happy here where I am

I look up
The setting sun is bathing the world
With a healing light
Little darlin’, it’s gonna be
A beautiful night

The rolling of distant thunder
Trouble ahead
Now don’t you be afraid now
We’ll get through it somehow

Just look up
The setting sun is bathing the world
With a healing light
Little darlin’, it’s gonna be
A beautiful night

Some like burning all night long
Some like howling at the moon
Some just like to sing along
Cause we get lonely,
Lonely, we get so lonely

The stars in the sky above me
Can make me forget
Everything but you, babe,
Everything but you

I look up
See your shining smile
And I know it’ll be all right
Little darlin’, it’s gonna be
A beautiful night

Just look up,
The setting sun is bathing the world
With a healing light
Little darlin’, it’s gonna be
A beautiful night

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain let it rain

It’s gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna be

Can’t Stop My Heart From Loving You (The Rain Song)

Hey…hey…hey…whoa…whoa…
Oh…

You can think that I’m just playin’ games
You can think I’ll do you wrong
You can think that I don’t mean a word I say
You can think what you want (What you want)

But if you think you’re gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you’re just wastin’ your time
‘Cause I’m not changing my mind

Can’t stop the rain from falling down, oh
Can’t stop the world from turnin’ ’round, oh
Can’t stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby

You can trust that I’m gonna stay around
You can trust I’ll treat you right (I treat you right)
You can be sure that I won’t ever let you down
Sure as there are stars in the night (In the night)

And if you ever think there’ll come a day
I’ll live without you
Baby, you’re as wrong as can be
Can’t change the way that I feel

Can’t stop the rain from falling down, oh
Can’t stop the world from turnin’ ’round, oh
Can’t stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby

Can’t stop a river running free, no
Can’t stop this love I feel in me, no
Can’t stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby

Can’t stop the wind, can’t stop the sea
Can’t stop the feelin’ I feel in me
Night needs the stars, stars need the sky
And I’ll always need you here in my life

Oh, oh, oh
Can’t stop my love, can’t stop my heart
I’m in too deep, I’ve gone too far (Oh…oh…)
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
Lovin’ you, oh, oh, oh

But if you think you’re gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you’re just wastin’ your time
‘Cause I’m not changing my mind

Can’t stop the rain from falling down (Just can’t stop the rain)
Can’t stop the world from turnin’ ’round (Can’t stop, oh)
Can’t stop my heart from loving you (My heart, baby)
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby

Can’t stop a river running free
Can’t stop this love I feel in me
Can’t stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby

Can’t stop the rain from falling down (I’m here by your side)
Can’t stop the world from turnin’ ’round (I’m gonna love you forever)
Can’t stop my heart from loving you (Can’t stop my heart from loving you)

My Precious Star

So many special reasons we are here, so in love
I feel so blessed because I know that we’re in this love
You are the sun that lights the sky, you are the only one I need in my life

Cause you are my precious star, wherever you are, I want to be there
And you’ve got all of my heart, and I will respect this love forever

Yours is the sweetest song I’ve ever heard, or ever knew
I can’t imagine living in this world, without you
I never thought that I could feel something so wonderful, something so real

Cause you are my precious star, wherever you are, I want to be there
And you’ve got all of my heart, and I will respect this love forever

Nothing is stronger than our love, nothing lasts longer than this love
Nothing is deeper than, sweeter than, loving you

Cause you are my precious star, wherever you are, I want to be there
And you’ve got all of my heart, and I will respect this love forever

And you are my precious star, wherever you are, I want to be there
And you’ve got all of my heart

Everyday of My Life

One lonely night I stumbled upon a dream
In my ordinary world,
With eyes like an angel,
A voice like a song from the heart,
You came into my world
You crossed a river of time,
You climbed a mountain of hope,
Yes you did,
You brought me all the love that I’ve been living for,
And now I can only ask for one thing more,

Just to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day,
I want to love and adore you,
Do anything for you
And be with you every day
Be with you every day of my life

Just like the stars,
Shining down from the heavens,
Into my solitary world,
Just like the glow that comes when the rain is over,
Bringing warmth to the world,

You are the dawn of my day,
Yes you are,
You are the lantern that lights my way,
You are the love that I cherish in my heart,
I pray to heaven that we never part,

I want to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day,
I want to love and adore you,
Do anything for you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day,

Every day I thank heaven for you,
Every night I pray just to……
Just to have and to hold you,
Inspire and console you,
And be with you everyday,
Be with you every day,
I want to love and adore you,
Do anything for you,
And be with you every day,
Be with you every day of my life.

Say What’s in My Heart

My eyes can’t lie to you
My kiss my kiss can only tell you true now
You say you have your doubts
But I say I don’t know what that talks about now

My world, I have given you
I never gave myself the way I gave myself to you
What have I gotta do
To make you believe I love you
What have I gotta say
To make you believe you’re the one for me

Didn’t you hold me last night
Didn’t you look in my eyes
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart
Didn’t my heart tell you true,
That I could only love you
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart
When I say I love you,
I say what’s in my heart

There is no other love
I know that God knows you’re the only one so
Why can’t you believe when I tell you
There ain’t nobody
There ain’t nobody but you in my heart

Long as we’ve been together
You should know by now the love I feel,
I feel forever

What have I gotta do
To make you believe I love you
What have I gotta say
To make you believe you’re the one for me,
Didn’t you hold me last night
Didn’t you look in my eyes
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart
Didn’t my heart tell you true,
That I could only love you
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart
When I say I love you I say what’s in my heart

I’ll never walk away, I’ll never leave your side,
I’ll never break your heart
Looking in someone else’s eyes
Your the one I need, the air that I breathe
I won’t live one day without you, believe me

Didn’t you hold me last night,
Didn’t you look in my eyes,
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart,
Didn’t my heart tell you true,
That I could only love you
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart
When I say I love you I say what’s in my heart

Didn’t you hold me last night,
Didn’t you look in my eyes,
Didn’t I, Didn’t I say what’s in my heart,
Didn’t my heart tell you true,
That I could only love you
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart,
Didn’t you hold me last night
Didn’t you look in my eyes
Didn’t I, didn’t I say what’s in my heart

I Can’t Imagine

You know I wondered where I be if not for you
I’d still be wondering through this world without a clue
At night I wake up and look across the bed
And you never think that crazy things
Were running through my head.

I Can’t Imagine
Our journey through this world without you
I’m loving everything about you I search my heart and
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
I Can’t Imagine

Oh oh

I want to wrap you like a present in my arms
Give you to myself and keep you safe from harm
My every moment devoted to your care I don’t even
Want to think how I survived without you here

I Can’t Imagine
Our journey through this world without you
I’m loving everything about you I search my heart and
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
I Can’t Imagine

Shared my life with any other
I’m making love with you I Can’t Imagine
I search my heart and soul how could there ever be
A greater love than ours

Let me tempt you and deliver
Let me make you feel the open road
I’ll make your blood run like the river
How could it be, be better than to ever
Love you more

I Can’t Imagine
Our journey through this world without you
I’m loving everything about you I search my heart and
Soul how could there ever be a greater love than ours
I Can’t Imagine
