When She Smiles lyrics - Christopher Cross

Well they met in line at the checkout stand
Both unaware of what the gods had planned
She was lost in her Cosmo readin' about the stars
He was readin' about two-headed babies from Mars
When she reached for a Snickers she dropped her keys
And so began one of life's mysteries
He was a little old-fashioned and a little oversexed
He picked them up never guessing what would happen next

Then she smiled and said I like your tie
Yeah she smiled and told him that little white lie
And his soul lit up like the fourth of July
When she smiled

They made it to Starbuck's just before it closed
He pointed to the jar and said you want one of those
So over biscotti and double decafs
They shared their stories and they had some laughs
He got up his courage and asked her back to his place
Then he held his breath as he studied her face
She just sat and she stared and she said nothing at all
He knew he blew it and he waited for the ax to fall

Then she smiled and he knew he hadn't been wrong
Yeah she smiled and said what took you so long
And the world felt good like a rock and roll song
When she smiled

When she smiles I forget my lines
When she smiles man I'm on cloud nine
When she smiles oh it's time out of mind
When she smiles

Then she smiled and said where you been all my life
And she smiled when he asked her to be his wife
And the future had never looked so bright
When she smiled

I'm just diggin' her diggin' me diggin' her

When she smiles I forget my lines
When she smiles man I'm on cloud nine
When she smiles oh it's time out of mind
When she smiles

When she smiles I come all undone
When she smiles I'm the only one
When she smiles I'm a smoking gun
When she smiles

It's Always Something lyrics - Christopher Cross

It's always something
It's always something there to spoil your day
It's always something made out of nothing
But it gets its way

My AOL went down again
They're starving in Zaire
Close your eyes and count to ten
The sky is falling dear

It's always something
Something you're waiting that will make you whole
Some piece of nothing you need so badly
That you'd sell your soul

How many inches is your screen
Are the images too clear
Just channel surf the news away
The sky is falling
Your god is calling

I may not know it
I may not see
It's always something messin' with me
I may not like it but it will be
And if I fight it'll never be free

There's always something we could be learning
From those windmill fores
It's always someone you least expected
Who really knows

That there's no better time or place
To read between the lines on your face
Stop choking on that grain of salt
The sky's not falling
We've just been staling

I may not know it
I may not see
It's always something messin' with me
I may not like it but it will be
And if I fight it'll never be free

Dream Too Loud lyrics - Christopher Cross

While I wait for the world to end
Above mad hatter crowds
I have nothing but time to spend
Silhouetting clouds

Simple pleasures fr goodness sake
Babes in slumbers
Nature's palette an daybreak,
Paint by numbers
Tat tvram asi

Barefoot down at the fishin' hole
Minnows nibble my toes
Big rock holding a bamboo pole
Don't care how is goes

Origami my lists away
Bird and flower
On a river of wind they play
Peace and power
Tat tvram asi

I'm just looking to find some spring
Plant some seeds grow some wings
Don't tell me I dream too loud I know
(I know, I know)

Just imagine a smile on your face
Love and laughter
Compassion breaking our fall from grace
Ever after
Tat tvram asi

I'm just looking to take those wings
Fly to Memphis and meet the king
Don't tell me I dream too loud I know
(I know, I know)

I Know You Well lyrics - Christopher Cross

A good fight half won
A good scotch half gone
And I'll never win Mr Congeniality
I once again
She acquiesced
And I got off on a technicality

I've always loved our little wars
Treaties we sign behind closed doors
I may concede but I will not bleed
I will not bleed

The James Deam the prom queen
Impractical fascination
Having its way again
She knows Astaire's got nothing on me
When I take her out tonight
When I take her out tonight

I've always loved the way you dance
How you defy our circumstance
There may not be more than see
More than I see
C'est la vie

I know you well (You know me well)
I know you well (You know me well)
I know you well boy
And before the dawn comes you'll be gone

It's symbiotic
It's a sweet narcotic
Not a futile search for romantic perfection
That's too much trouble
So make mine a double
My head's a very scary neighborhood
Don´t wanna walk it alone

Thought I had something to day
Before you kissed my neck that way
I'll let it be
That works for me
So C'est la vie
C'est la vie

I know you well (You know me well)
I know you well (You know me well)
I know you well boy
And before the dawn comes you'll be gone

You know me well (I know you well)
You know me well (I know you well)
I know you well girl
And tomorrow we might just move on

Kind Of I Love You lyrics - Christopher Cross

I`ve been thinkin` how to say
What I think I`m supposed to say
To make you sure that I am worth your time
Your friends all tell you it`s not true
I got no business here with you
I`m just not the man they had in mind

They may be right but it`s too late now
I got you but I don`t know how
And I want you to see the best in me
So baby turn the lights down low
Won`t you hold me kiss me stroke me please me
Tell me I`m the perfect man
But if you ask me how I feel about you
It`s kind of hard to understand

[Chorus:]
It`s kind of I love you - It`s kind of I need you
It`s kind of I want you - It`s kind of I don`t know what I want
It`s kind of I love you - It`s kind of I need you
It`s kind of I want you - It`s kind of I don`t know who I am

All my life I`ve spent my time
Falling in and out of love
And I always run when I find me one
I`m supposed to see the meaning of
While I`m trying to fill a grown man`s shoes
I hope I don`t turn away from you
But if I screw this up forgive me
It`s really the best I can do

[Chorus]

The laughter and the lace
The kindness in your face
The scent of you on my pillow when you`ve gone
But I`m still on this fence
And I know it makes no sense
And I`m lookin` to find an answer before the dawn

[Solo]

Only a fool would let you go baby
And I`ve been a fool too long

It`s kind of I love you - It`s kind of I need you
It`s kind of I want you - And I care a lot more than I say
And I`m gonna love you - I know that I need you
I know that I want you - I`m tired of runnin` away

It`s kind of I love you - It`s kind of I need you
It`s kind of I want you - And I feel a lot more than I show
And I`m gonna love you - I know that I need you
I know that I want you - somehow I`m gonna let you know

Curled Up Around The World lyrics - Christopher Cross

Life is a long road - everyone knows it
Nothing is ever the way that you suppose it
The window blows open the moment you close it
And hatred finds a way into your heart.

Living escapes us - lost in our labors
Doing our damage and blaming our neighbors
Praying to paper and begging for favors
And hatred finds a way into our hearts.

Picture a place where your love makes a difference
Where silence has meaning and the noble run free
Cradle the dream of your sisters and brothers
Arms gently curled around the world

We can relinquish the sorrows that hold us
Taking our strength back from those we let control us
Letting acceptance and mercy enfold us
And clear the path for love to find a way into our hearts

Picture a place where your love makes a difference
Where silence has meaning and the noble run free
Cradle the dream of your sisters and brothers
Arms gently curled around the world

We can find the way to hold this world inside our hearts

Picture a place where your love makes a difference
Where silence has meaning and the noble run free
Cradle the dream of your sisters and brothers
Arms gently curled around the world

I will remember my love makes a difference
And try to recall that it all begins with me
Cradle the dream of a sweet ever after
With arms gently curled around the world
Arms gently curled around the world

It all could come true...

Been There, Done That lyrics - Christopher Cross

You've seen my face
Hey don't you know my name
It wasn't all that long ago I had my fifteen minutes of fame
If it was you caught in a crazy game
Would you still look as good standing in the rain

Whatever gets you through the night
Take it from me — its gonna be aright

Been there done that
Been there — then somebody takes you back
Been there done that
So hard, hard to avoid the trap

They break your heart — why do we let them in
The drug is strong but the will is weak
We make the same mistakes again
There comes a time we all gotta rise above
Look inside and redefine just what it is we want from love

Been there done that
Been there — still working my way back
Been there done that
So hard, hard to avoid the trap

And when you feel strong enough to face up to it
You're gonna do just fine

Wild Wild West lyrics - Christopher Cross

Out here on the pains tonight
The white man rules the game
Searching through the flames tonight
There's no one left to blame

This town just don't seem big enough
For the likes of the two of us
Here in the wild wild west

In the wild wild west my friend
Living in the wild wild west
In the wild wild west again

We left our bootprint on the shore
And rode off on toward sunset
We left the natives on the cutting room floor
And the shootings still not done yet

Lazy boy and channel three
Bourbon and contrition
Say a prayer for the NRA
And pass the ammunition

Mercy
Folly and frustration

Mercy
Too much information
Mercy
Desperate situation
Here in the wild wild west
In the wild wild west my friend

Wishing Well lyrics - Christopher Cross

In this land of accessories
The obsolescent sheen
Like so many fools before us
Lost in dreams

What's behind the curtain
The dinette or the stole
Such important choices
To satisfy the soul

Take it on down to the wishing well
Make a wish to stop your wishing
'Cause you just can't tell
Give it up

The power of suggestion
The tabloids and the tube
Muscles and money

Tits and gory
What's your story

Are we so unhappy
Being what we are
Sly told us a long time ago
Everybody is a star
Give it up

Thinkin' 'Bout You lyrics - Christopher Cross

Ooh ooh oooh oooh ooh
Thinkin' 'bout you
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
Thinkin' 'bout

I've been thinkin' bout you
Thinkin' 'bout all the things that couldn't come true
I've been thinkin' 'bout you
And how much I'll miss having you to talk to

Now that I'm on my own
I don't need to hold you
But I'd love to
There's beauty in monochrome
I promise not to linger
But somehow lately

I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout all those things we put ourselves through
Incompatibly
Playing out our restless parts so crazy and free
Those nights when we talked til the sun
We had all the answers
We were dancers
Then time caught us both on the run
In our own directions
Headed for the moon

I know you
And I know that you think of me too
All is well
Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout you

I've been thinkin' 'bout you
How you said you'd never change and hoping it's true
In your impetuous way
You brought out the kind of fire still with me today
When you told me you had to go
Off to chase the rainbow
Oh it hurt me so
The pain didn't kill me though
I will always be here
The soul outlives the heart

I know you
And I know that you think of me too
All is well
Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout you

There was a time when our lives were a tangle
Between our hands and Jacob's ladder
Nothing mattered
Indelible and dear
Indelible and dear

I know you
And I know that you think of me too
All is well
Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you
I know you
And I know that you think of me too
All is well
Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you
I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you
I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you
Thinkin' 'bout you

I've been thinkin' 'bout you
I've been thinkin' 'bout

I've been thinkin' 'bout you
I've been thinkin' 'bout

I've been thinkin' 'bout

Jan's Tune lyrics - Christopher Cross

Lost in the future
Worried about the past

Willful and lazy
Pedaling nowhere fast

She works her wonders
Keeping me in today
Reaching through my darkness
Reminding me how to pay

And she says
Save your sadness for the bad times

Time is not your enemy
Save your sadness for the bad times

For now you are with me

Nothing is certain
Certainly nothing new
Hoping some light shines
On us before were through

She spends her heartbeats
Seeing the best in you
As I learn my mind the more I find
The things she says are true

You live gracefully
Having faith in me

She says

Save your sadness for the bad times

Time is not your enemy
Save your sadness for the bad times
For now

Save your sadness for the bad times
For now you are with me

Open Up My Window lyrics - Christopher Cross

Every night
I open up my window
Open up my window
And let your love come in

Every night that I'm away from you
This old bed seems way too big
And my dreams so small
Goin' through the motions
As I stare out from my room
I begin to realize
That we're sharin' the same moon

Lying here hugging my pillow in the dark
Dreaming of your comfort
Fightin' the lonely in my heart
And I thought I felt you touch me
In that old familiar way
When the wind came through the curtains
And I heard it call your name

Ooh the time goes draggin' by
Send my love across the sky
Maybe it's all that I can do

Baby until I'll be with you

I missed you girl more than you'll ever know
I kept a little vigil by my window
It's funny but it's true
Darlin' I did the same for you
Now no matter where we are
We can wish upon that star

Nature's Way lyrics - Christopher Cross

Is nature's way of telling you somethings wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song

Is nature's way of receiving you
Is nature's way of retrieving you
Is nature's way of telling you somethings wrong

Is nature's way of telling you on the breeze
It's nature's way of telling you - dying trees

It's nature's way of telling you to sow down
It's nature's way of telling you - look around

It's nature's way of finding you
It's nature's way of reminding you
It's nature's way of telling you somethings wrong

Uncharted Hearts lyrics - Christopher Cross

As the sun rises it soon compromises the safety of night
And two travelers in spite of themselves
Have to push on

Mornings remind them of things left behind them
One a good wife and the other a life with no name
So they push on

Over the hills and the pains they ride
Sharing the unwritten law they abide
Two uncharted hearts in the silence of their own flight

The journey they measure in danger and peasure
One likes to bluff and the other is tough on the girls
Still they push on

Roll the bones
Devil-may-care
No questions asked
Barely friends
Two solitaires
Needing each other out there

They build a good fire before they retire
Searching the flame for a moment of blameless repose
A way to push on
Lessons come hard on this brave terrain
They may run free but they're still in the rain
Two uncharted hearts in the silence of their own flight
