Back Of My Mind lyrics - Christopher Cross

I woke up to my world this morning
Took a long look in the looking glass
Last night I guess I had one or too many
Somebody tried to tell me I had no class

What ever happened to me
Maybe I've been living on lies
Never really had a dream come true
Then again I guess I never really tried

Now the years all slip away
And things are like they're gonna stay
All the roads I didn't take are just
One more thing in the back of my mind
Taking space and time

Wish I'd finished that book I never started
Maybe that's the story of my life
Should've learned to play that saxophone
So I could tell my song to the streetlight

Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own
Could've had a wife and a child
Should've made that house a home
I don't know why my life is so wild

Now the years all slip away
And things are like they're gonna stay
All the chances I didn't take are just
One more thing in the back of my mind
Taking space and time
One more thing in the back of my mind

So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight
I've got to get my shadow behind me
Try and make some sense of it all
With my feet on the ground and my heart still free

As the years will slip away
I'll let the cards fall where they may
And all the roads I didn't take will be just
One more thing in the back of my mind

As the years will slip away
And the cards fall as they may
All the chances I didn't take will be just
One more thing in the back of my mind
Taking space and time
One more thing in the back of my mind
One more thing in the back of my mind

I'll Be Alright lyrics - Christopher Cross

I'll be alright
I'm a man with his mind in motion
I'll be alright
I've got the will to live
I'll be alright
I'm a man with his mind in motion
I'm gonna give it all I've got to give

What's happening
Yeah me too
Just can't seem to shake those ordinary blues
One thing I can tell you
Hold your spirit tight
Something's on the move
It's gonna be alright

On the way down to paradise
I kept stepping on my wings
The tears, the time, the trouble
I had to take a stand
I found my way to land
I'm gonna be alright

Sometimes I think I live by miracles alone
Click those ruby slippers and hope to be back home
Say just where I'll find you
And that's just where I'll be
Building me an igloo by the sea

Alibi lyrics - Christopher Cross

It's a calm wind blowing on my skin
And I've been dreaming again
Now that we're all here
We can share these notes and all this madness
We can talk of innocence
And of all the things we believe in

Is it an alibi
Is it the reason why
Is it the way we really feel inside
Set it free

The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere

Daybreak
In a place I've known before
Will I find me behind that final door

I can hear the footsteps of the past
I can feel the thunder and it's coming fast
I'm gonna spend some time with the moon
Pour myself a glass of midnight
Keep myself in tune

Is it an alibi
Is it the tears I cry
Is it the way I see it through your eyes

The magic of those nights brings me closer to that light
That helps me see the path ahead of me
I can feel that something
A hint of mystery
A trace of dare
To live the truth I hide somewhere

Just One Look lyrics - Christopher Cross

On the outback, a fool for the wind
Forgot to count my blessings again
The road looks lonely, I could use a friend
Looking for somebody to forgive my sins

And just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Somebody loves me

All the wise men, all the years
Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors
A dark companion, the one called fear
Take the holy water wash away the tears

One hope I will find
The harmony of heart and mind
So I will know
The way to give as I live

And I know there will be
A certain amount of uncertainty
But I must know
That you are there to hear my prayers

One wish there will be
In this place a time for me
When I will know
Before I go
Somebody loves me
Just one look in your eyes
Before I go so I'll know
Somebody loves me

All the wise men, all the years
Looking for the answer in a roomful of mirrors
A dark companion, the one called fear
Take the holy water wash away the tears

One hope I will find
The harmony of heart and mind
So I will know

"Every Turn Of The World" (1985)




Every Turn Of The World lyrics - Christopher Cross


We think about the loves we lost
Will it come again
We think of all the things we want
Will we ever win

We listen to the voice of children
Will they find their way
Keep an open heart
The answer to it all's a wish away

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world

Is it gold or glory
A taste of freedom
Or the strong warm touch of a body
There are all these things with every turn of the world

Human kindness - diamond of the heart
Tearing down the old walls
As long as we can share
Desire's not a sin, after all

When you find yourself alone
Missing tender magic touching you
Keep an open heart
Everything you dream can still be true

We all want a world we can live in
We all want a world full of love
It's never too late
It's never too soon
Whatever you can do is enough

Charm The Snake lyrics - Christopher Cross

You gotta be smart
You gotta be cool
You gotta keep a straight face
When you're playin' the fool
You gotta wear a smile
When you're breakin' the rules
You gotta charm that snake now, baby

You gotta be smooth
You gotta be quick
I think it might just help
To be a little bit sick
You know the bite can't cut you
If the skin is thick
Charm that snake now, baby

Hey, we ain't all good lookin'
There ain't no reason
To take a good lickin'
The clock on the wall
Gonna keep on tickin'
Charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake now, baby

Whoa, oh, oh
Don't let go of it
Don't let go
Whoa, oh, oh
Gotta charm that snake
Charm that snake

One stripe, two stripes
What does it mean
The venom is lethal
But the meat is clean
The best take advantage of you like a machine
You gotta charm that snake now, maybe

Don't let the fingernails
Under the heart
If they get a good grip
They're gonna rip it apart
The first and last kisses
Are the dangerous part
You gotta charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake now, baby

Whoa, oh, oh
Don't let go of it
Don't let go
Whoa, oh, oh
Gotta charm that snake
Charm that snake

There's a hook in the bait
The first one made a mistake
If you've got what it takes
You better charm that snake

You gotta let it show
You ain't gonna let it go
I'm gonna let 'em know
Never gonna let it go

Uh-huh, well, all right
Let's get it right
Oh, yeah

You gotta charm that snake
Whoa, gotta charm that snake now, baby
Whoa, gotta charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake

Whoa, you gotta charm that snake now, baby
Whoa, you gotta charm that snake now, baby
Charm that snake

I Hear You Call lyrics - Christopher Cross

Moving in and out of light
Changing shapes of shadowed life
Bleeding out white
Pastel

To true color
Path crosses path ahead
Which way do I go
Did you go, did you go

Just before I'm lost
There's a heart on the wind

I can hear your voice again
I can feel your love again
I hear you call
Soothing motion of a dying storm

Morning tumbles from a golden horn
What you loved
What you lost
What you gained

Are the things that set you free
Forgiving bridge of now and then
Time's a canyon you can cross again
Soul touches soul

And the sound that they make will never end
I can hear your voice calling me
I can feel your love again
There's a hero's hand

Breakin' my fall
You drown the siren's song
When I hear you call

Don't Say Goodbye lyrics - Christopher Cross

I guess I knew we'd come to this
Where the love can't cool the anger
So many times settled with a kiss
Love in trouble
The trouble is
You and me
Strong words, so nonchalant
Come on
We don't mean half of what we say
You say you like gettin' what you want
Me too
But I
I'll never say I never want to love you again
Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
When you're walking out that door
Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
Baby, don't you say goodbye
It's not a matter of weak or strong
Arms can hold you
Or they can hold you down
I can dance to the saddest song
But I won't let you stay
Where you don't belong
Oh, so while you're out there busy bein' free
Just remember
One of those roads leads back to me
Don't you say goodbye
Don't you say goodbye
When you're walking out that door
Careful what you say
You might be back someday
Baby, don't you say goodbye
I want you
I need you
But I'll let you go
If you want it that way
It's your choice
But my voice
Will whisper every day
Every step of the way
Don't say goodbye
Girl, I'll tell you why
It just might turn out that way
Don't say goodbye
Even with your eyes
Baby, don't you say goodbye
I know you care somewhere
Inside you hide the truth away
(Behind a thin disguise)
Your heart will change your mind someday
Baby, don't you say goodbye

It's You That Really Matters lyrics - Christopher Cross

Keeping it straight is still the hardest part
Living the truth inside your heart of hearts
I sang a song that you believed
You came inside - don't ever leave
You are the one who really matters

I had a dream that carried me
You are the one who set it free
You are the one

And around and around and around
The world has always turned
I wanted warmth - your love burned
You gave it all - I won't do less
Maybe you know but I'll confess
That you are the one who really matters

I had a dream that carried me
You are the one who set it free
You are the one
We see the things no one else can see
There is a way for you and me
We will be the ones

And in the music
There are words that say
Everything that you feel today

Every time I'm lost out in the night
I look for memories of light
You are the one I want to see
You are the one who reached for me
You are the one who really matters

We saw the things no one else could see
There was a way for you and me
We were the ones

And when someday comes along
The love we gave will still go on
We will be the ones

Love Is Love (In Any Language) lyrics - Christopher Cross

Checkin' out the sand streets
Of this island town
Got my cold Dos Equis
Watchin' women brown
They call it Paradiso
It looks like paradise
And it's looking better all the time

Now I'm dancin' in the moonlight
The party's everywhere
It's all a sweet seduction
To the rhythm in the air
Local girls are talkin'
I hear their bodies say
This boy won't be leavin' lonely

It's je t'aime, it's amore
Te quiero, mi chica
If it's good you'll get the message
It's je t'aime, it's amore
Eu te amo
Love is love in any language

She caught my intention
When I caught her eye
We just started movin'
Never askin' why
Faded into passion
That girl and I
Love is love in any language

Let your heart talk to the girl
Love can take you 'round the world

Aloha wau in oe
If it's good you get the message
Love is love in any language

Nakupenda mno sana sana
When it's good you get the message
Aku chinta kamu
Love is love in any language

Ich liebe dich, mein fraulein
If it's good you get the message
Love is love in any language

Swing Street lyrics - Christopher Cross

There's a place I know called Swing Street
Where you can really feel the heartbeat
After working hard til sundown
The city comes alive

High up, low down, down on Swing Street
Gypsy jazzmen tickling my feet
Jive and music, love and money
There's enough to get you high

Sidewalk preachers hustling bibles
Longing for one more revival
There's a truth in all these dreamers
If you read between the lines

Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street

Morning comes, that alarm clock screaming
Coat and tie, and wheeling, dealing
I wish that I could be back on Swing Street
Watching life roll by

Everyone looks for romance
Living out of magazines
But there's still one place
Where you don't have to fake it
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street

Love Found A Home lyrics - Christopher Cross

No more waiting 'cause the day is here
Think he's gonna make her smile
No more waiting 'cause the day is here
Hearts beat as one as they walk down the aisle

And I think that this one's gonna last forever
I think that love might have found a home
Well, I think that this one's gonna last forever
'Cause I think that love found a home

Marcia, Marcia, quick come and see
This boy ain't never gonna set you free
Hey, Roy Boy, take a look around
She's got her eye on ya
I think she knows what she's found

God gives his love to you
Blesses this day for you
No one can take that love away

No more waiting 'cause the day is here
Think she's gonna make him smile
No more waiting 'cause the day is here
One song sung as they walk down the aisle

'Cause I think that love found a home
Yeah, you can see and I can see
That I think love found a home

That Girl lyrics - Christopher Cross

I'm wakin' up in the same old way
But I can't shake me out of the dream
Every time that I close my eyes
I see her face
Like a star on a TV screen
They all keep askin'
Where you been after dark
I say
That kinda girl
She grows on a heart
And I know
It doesn't come any better

That girl
She makes me sing
She gives me things that only love can bring
That girl
She makes me sing

If you think
I'm losin' my cool
That's true
But I betcha'd do the same
If you felt the flame
Of her fire
She likes to make you
Crazy with love
And I let her
I know it doesn't come any better

I watch the guys
I see their eyes
I see their eyes as she walks by
She knows she's fine
I know she's mine
C-c-cuz she digs me

Open Your Heart lyrics - Christopher Cross

It's a lonely ride on Noah's ark
Takin' a shot into the dark
Hopin' that someone will see the spark
Of the light in you

Noah's ark to the ship of fools
Didn't we break all the golden rules
Caught in the dance of the hours

Open your heart 'til everyone's in
It's never too late to believe and begin
Open your heart 'til everyone's in
You can wish on the light of a star 'til the end

Everyone's out on the open sea
We're all a part of the mystery
You know how lonely it can be
Surviving

You say you're gonna settle down
Just play guitar and walk around
Until you turn into the sound
Of laughter

Some do believe we came out of the sky
And at the end we will fly

"Another Page" (1983)




No Time For Talk lyrics - Christopher Cross

Well, I read it in town in the melancholy news
The front page story is our love is through
The hand of time is cold, I can't stand to hear the truth
Somehow I won't believe it till I've heard it from you

There's no time for talk and there's no place for tears
There's no reason to wonder after all of these years
Sure we had some good times and so who's to blame
It's so hard to tell when you both feel the pain

After the years have come and gone
The struggle to forget you will have just begun
We had our ups and downs but one thing's for sure
No one will ever love you more

There's no time for talk and there's no place for tears
And there's no reason to wonder after all of these years
Sure we had some good times and so who's to blame
It's so hard to tell when you both feel the pain

Well, I read it in town in the melancholy news
The front page story is our love is through
The hand of time is cold, I can't stand to hear the truth
Somehow I won't believe it till I've heard it from you

There's no time for talk and there's no place for tears
There's no reason to wonder after all of these years
Sure we had some good times, so who's to blame
So hard to tell when you both feel the pain

There's no time for talk and there's no place for tears
There's no reason to wonder after all of these years
Sure we've had some good times and so who's to blame
It's so hard to tell when you both feel the pain

There's no time for talk and there's no place for tears
There's no reason to wonder after all of these years
Sure we had some good times and so who's to blame
It's so hard to tell when you both feel the pain

Baby Says No lyrics - Christopher Cross

Baby says no
She can't let go this soon
Doesn't feel right
Not tonight
Even though I gave her the stars and the moon
I really think I've got it bad this time around

Baby says yes
But I must confess
It really doesn't seem to matter
'Cause I'd follow that girl all around the world
Even if I never had her
I really think I've got it bad this time around

Gonna show 'em what love can do
Gonna tell 'em 'bout me and you
Gonna show 'em what love can do when it's right
And this time it's right

Love is the light that can shine so bright
But sometimes it fades away
Then you find one that can shine like the sun
And she comes up for you every day
I really think I've got it bad this time around

Oh when the girl is so far away
I can't think of all the right words to say
But now she's here and we are all together

What Am I Supposed To Believe lyrics - Christopher Cross

(duet with Karla Bonoff)

Some like it hot
Some like it cold
I like it best when it's untold
When I feel sad
And when I feel down
Then I'll wish you were around

What am I supposed to believe
Is it that you really love me

Turn down the lights now
It's all been said
The troubles that come and go
You took my heart and threw it away
You left me out in the rain

What am I supposed to believe
Is is that you really love me
Just you wait
You wait and see
I will be there to love you

Oh it's hard
So hard to live a life on your own
After you've known how it could be
With you and me
Won't you come home to me
You could make everything all right
You could warm me through the coldest night
And make it all right

Deal 'Em Again lyrics - Christopher Cross

You pick up the cards that they're dealing to you
You can throw down or showdown
The bluff makes a fool out of you

The ante goes up and your luck runs down
It's a strange game, it's a damn shame
But somebody's going to lose

It don't matter, lose or win
You can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again

A handful of hearts and you're playing to win
It goes down and you're put down
And that takes it all out of you

One last hand and you're going for broke
The cards fall and you take all
Just when you thought you were through

It don't matter, lose or win
You can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again

It don't matter, lose or win
You can, you can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again

You pick up the cards that they're dealing to you
You can throw down or showdown
When love makes a fool out of you

The ante goes up and your luck runs down
It's a strange game, it's a damn shame
But somebody's going to lose

It don't matter, lose or win
You can, you can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again

You can deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
Deal 'em again
You gotta deal 'em again, hey

Think Of Laura lyrics - Christopher Cross

Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying

Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

A friend of a friend, a friend till the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning

Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

I know you and you're here
In every day we live
I know her and well, she's here
I can feel her when I sing

Hey Laura, where are you now
Are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away

Think of Laura but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

All Righ lyrics - Christopher Cross

I know, I know what's on your mind
And I know it gets tough sometimes
But you can give it one more try
Find a reason why
You should pick it up
And try it again

'Cause it's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might work out fine this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out
'Cause it's not too late for that
Too late for me

I know I've been hurt before
And I know I really shouldn't give any more
But this time
This time things seem just a little different
And when I look in your eyes
You know I can see that it's true
And I hear you say it's

All right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might work out fine this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out
'Cause it's not too late for that
Too late for love

Just when you feel helpless
Nothing left to say
Love will find us
The past behind us
Then we're on our way

Time and time again I see
People so unsure like me
We all know it gets hard sometimes
You can give it one more try
Find another reason why
You should pick it up
You should kick it up
And try it again

Talking In My Sleep lyrics - Christopher Cross

Talking in my sleep, she ain't gonna hear it
So my secrets have to keep
A little while longer in my heart where they've been
For so long, I can't remember

Days turn into weeks, still she's not with me
Still my secrets have to keep
A little while longer in my heart where they've been
For so long, I can't remember

And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love

Love can cut you deep, it's there to remind you
And the memories make you weak
They whisper to you from your heart where they've been
For so long, you can't remember

And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love

Wake up, reach for her, she's not there
All I do is dream
Dream that she will come home soon
To me, to me

Come home soon
Come home to me

Talking in my sleep, she ain't gonna hear it
So my secrets have to keep
A little while longer in my heart where they've been
For so long, I can't remember

And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love

And I know that I'm just gonna be
Another page in love's history
Another page in your diary
In that old book of love
In that old book of love

Talking in my sleep

Nature Of The Game lyrics - Christopher Cross

Taking my time, walking the line
For someone who doesn't care
Taking my time, walking the line
For someone who's never there

It's a fool's game that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change
It's the nature of the game

She loves me, she loves me not
Remember how your heart used to stop
As the petals would hit the floor
How you wished there could be just one more

That's a fool's game that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change
It's the nature of the game

Nature of the game

Taking my time, walking the line
For someone who isn't there
Taking my time, just walking the line
For someone who doesn't care

She loves me, she loves me not
Remember how your heart used to stop
As the petals would hit the floor
How you wished there could be just one more

That's a fool's game that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change
It's the nature of

It's a fool's game that I know
Nothing but a broken heart to show
And I know I'll never change
Yeah, it's the nature of the game

Nature of the game
Nature of the game
Nature of the game

It's the nature of the game

Long World lyrics - Christopher Cross

There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free

I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her

Does anybody know how it feels to want her this bad?
So bad you'd give your life away
There's gotta be somebody somewhere
Who needs someone like I need you

I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie

And it's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her

And I wait for the day to take her away in vain
And I realize, I'll always feel the same

There's a brand new light in my life
Shines after the candle is out at night
It's gotten the best of me
It's got my heart and it won't set it free, yeah

I just can't tell you why
If I did, well, it might be a lie

It's a long world we're living in
I've got to have her from beginning to end
It's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her
I just can't live without her

Well, it's a long world we're living in
And I've got to have her from beginning to end
Well, it's a long world we're living in
I just can't live without her

I just can't live without her
No, I, I just can't live without her

Words Of Wisdom lyrics - Christopher Cross

I can hear your voice and I have no choice
'Cause the pain is too deep inside
And the hurt of a love that is lost has no cure
But the love of another heart
Your friends try and say it will all get better
They say that they know how you feel
But your heart isn't sure 'cause it knows what it heard
All the things that it read in the letter

All the words of wisdom
Never seem to ease the pain
All the words of wisdom sound the same

All the lies of kindness
Oh that sweet refrain
But you pay the price for the joy that it brings
'Cause you hear the sound of her name
And the morning tries to save you
From the shadows of your heart
They dance and kiss as you reminisce
And it's tearing you apart

All the words of wisdom
Never seem to ease the pain
All the words of wisdom sound the same

I can hear your voice and I have no choice
'Cause the pain is too deep inside
And the hurt of a love that is lost has no cure
But the love of another heart
Your friends try and say it will all get better
They say that they know how you feel
But your heart isn't sure 'cause it knows what it heard
All the things that it read in the letter

All the words of wisdom
Never seem to ease the pain
All the words of wisdom sound the same

All the words of wisdom
They never seem to ease the pain
All the words of wisdom sound the same

All the words of wisdom sound the same.

"Christopher Cross" (1979)




Say You'll Be Mine lyrics - Christopher Cross

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine until the sun shines
Say you'll be mine
And bring me the dream of a lifetime

I just can't hide the truth no more
I've got to get my feet back down on the floor
I love you so
I need you so
I just don't think I can let you go

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine until the sun shines
Say you'll be mine
And bring me the dream of a lifetime

Well, it's you that keeps me feeling this way
I don't think I can take it even one more day
It don't seem right
That I should be alone tonight

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine until the sun shines
Say you'll be mine
And bring me the dream of a lifetime

I just can't hide the truth no more
I've got to get my feet back down on the floor
I love you so
I need you so
I just don't think I can let you go

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine until the sun shines
Say you'll be mine
And bring me the dream of a lifetime

I Really Don't Know Anymore lyrics - Christopher Cross

What do you think about love
Is it a game to be played
To be torn and lost in the wilderness
To be lost
And lonely after all

What do you think about love
Is it a way to be saved
To feel the warmth of another love
To be lost
And lonely after all

I really don't know anymore
I really can't say
I really don't anymore
I'm just that way

What do you think about love
Is it a game to be played
To keep your heart and have never
loved
To be lost
And lonely after all
What do you think about love
Is it a way to be saved
To give up your heart to another love
To be lost
And lonely after all

Spinning lyrics - Christopher Cross

Ooh wee
Got me spinning
Got me spinning 'round
Like I think I'm winning

It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out
It may take me a long long time
But I'm gonna find you out

Ooh wee
It's only the beginning
You got me spinning'round
Like I think I'm winning

Never Be The Same lyrics - Christopher Cross

It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel tonight
Sometimes love just slips out of sight

Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that you've got to know
No one will ever touch me that way
The way that you did that very first day

And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I'll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
No I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above

The years go by
There's always someone new
To try and help me forget about you
Time and again it does me no good
Love never feels the way that it should

I loved you then I guess I'll love you forever
And even though I know we could never stay together
I think about how it could've been
If we could just start all over again

And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I'll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
No, I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above

It was good for me
It was good for you
Now nothing either of us can say or do
Can change the way you feel today
Sometimes love just slips away

Just one thing before you go
Just one thing that you've got to know
No one will ever touch me that way
The way that you did that very first day

And I'll
Never be the same without you here
I'll live alone
Hide myself behind my tears
Hey...I'll
Never be the same without your love
I'll live alone
Try so hard to rise above

Poor Shirley lyrics - Christopher Cross

Poor Shirley
She must hide her tears
For nobody wants to see them
Surely it will break her heart
Time passes as she waits for a friend

We'll take all the doubtful ones in the fight
And make them hold off 'til the spring
Take hold of their hallowed souls
And save them from pain
All of the pain
Save ourselves from all of the pain

Dearly held are the friends
Left in the years and lost in the war
Dearly held are the loves
Save for the ones you lose on your own

Stars will light up the lonely nights
Harbor lights
Making us believe in the love
So struck by the hope of the harmony
Leaving the sorrow
Gently

Poor Shirley
She must hide her tears
For nobody wants to see them
Surely she will win a heart
Time passes as she waits for the wind

Ride Like The Wind lyrics - Christopher Cross

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old

It is the night
My body's weak
I'm on the run
No time to sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

The Light Is On lyrics - Christopher Cross

Is it yours
Is it mine
I was never the kind who could
draw the line
Are you free
Unforgiven
Is this the kind of world you could
live in

It's alright
The light is on
The darkness has run to hide
It's alright
The light is on
But the darkness is just outside
Outside your window

Beating down
Making the sound of the rain
Drive you crazy
Make you lazy
You know it's only the rain

Sailing lyrics - Christopher Cross

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Minstrel Gigolo lyrics - Christopher Cross

You're the minstrel gigolo
Don't you know
You sing your songs of love so soft and low
And they want you more and more

All the young and lonely girls wait for you
There by the backstage door
And they're hoping to
Be the one

And when you start to sing
You will be their everything
And when you start to sing
Every woman will open up her heart
And let you in

A Chance For Heaven lyrics - Christopher Cross

I know that winning
It doesn't come easy
I know that winning
It's what's on your mind
It's what's on your mind

I know you want it
A gift from the angels
Colors of the rainbow
You're hoping to find

Someone's gonna take it
And I'm the one

And I got just one more
Chance for Heaven
One more mountain to climb
And I got just one more
Chance for Heaven

It's out there waiting
Waiting ro find us
The spirit deep inside
Ooh, just set it free
Just set it free

A chance for Heaven
That place we dream of
And when you get there
Ooh, then you will see
Ooh, then you will see

Chance for Heaven
One more mountain to climb
Now it's one more
Chance for Heaven
Putting it all on the line

It never comes easy
And on the day you get there

Ooh, you're gonna find
Ooh, you're gonna find

Someone's gonna take it
Someone's gonna make it
And you're the one

Putting it all on the line

There'll always be
One more chance for Heaven
One more mountain to climb
There'll always be
One more chance for Heaven
Putting it all on the line

There'll always be
One more chance for Heaven
One more mountain to climb

Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) lyrics - Christopher Cross

Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closin' down the town

Wake up and she's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
You're wonderin' to yourself
Hey what've I found

[Chorus]
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does what he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart
He's just he's just a boy
Livin' his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughin' about the way
They want him to be

[Chorus]

Lost Between The Moon And New York City lyrics - Christopher Cross

Once in your life you'll find him
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and he's still with you
Even though you left him away cross town
You're wondering to yourself, "hey what have I found"

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does, what he pleases
Followed his life, his masters toys
And deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a real good time
He's laughing about the way they wanting to be

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The Best that you can do
The Best that you can do

When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

Fall in love
Fall in love

Loving Strangers lyrics - Christopher Cross

Young and free, kicking the fences down
Somewhere hearts are breaking but he can't hear the sound
They got nothin' in common
He smiles away on the wings of a dream

He's all caught up in that world of his
She says I'm gonna miss you but I can't live like this
We got nothin' in common
So sad to say it has to be this way

Everyone on a road of their own.
Everyone gotta find a heart a home.
Loving strangers - that's you and me.
Gonna have the way to love, give a little honesty.

('Cuz they got nothing in common)

I can feel there's a hope on the wind.
The sound of your voice - I think I hear a friend.
We got nothin' in common
I know we don't, but it won't stay that way.

Everyone on a road of their own.
Everyone gotta find a heart a home.
Loving strangers - that's you and me.
Give a way to love, give a little honesty.

Everybody needs to know if there will somewhere someday be someone to call their own.
Everybody needs to hope that there will one day come a someone just in time.

Everyone on a road of their own.
Everyone gotta find a heart a home.
Loving strangers - that's you and me.
Give a way to love, give a little honesty.

'Cuz we got nothing in common. [4x]

She's Like The Wind lyrics - Christopher Cross

She's like wind,
Through my dream,
She rides the night,
Next to me,
She leads me through moonlight,
Only to burn me with the sun,
She's taken my heart,
She doesn't know what she's done,

Feel her breath in my face,
Her body close to me,
Can't look in her eyes,
She's out of my league,

Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs,
She's like the wind,

I look in the mirror,
And all I see,
Is a young old man,
With only a dream,

Am I just fooling myself,
That she'll stop the pain,
Living without her,
I go insane,

Feel her breath in my face,
Her body close to me,
Can't look in her eyes,
She's out of my league,

Just a fool to believe I have anything she needs,
She's like the wind,

Feel your breath in my face,
Your body close to me,
Can't look in your eyes,
Your out of my league,

Just a fool to believe, (just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind,

Just a fool to believe [2x]

She's like wind,
Just a fool to believe,
She's like the wind'..

Just a fool,
To believe,
She's like the wind'

Just a fool,
She's like the wind' [3x]

Walk On By lyrics - Christopher Cross

(originally by Dionne Warwick)

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by don't stop
And walk on by don't stop
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by don't stop

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by don't stop
And walk on by don't stop
And walk by don't stop
