Rendezvous lyrics - Christopher Cross

All across the sky
The mysteries of faith
Fossils of desire all assume their rightful place
Is there any danger in their fire
Is there any solace in their wake
Could it really make a world of difference for goodness' sake

Train rolls a cappella
To a sympathetic moon
Carrying the stories of every heart - earned wound
Will there be a lover at the station
Will there be a last conductor's call
Will there really be a happy ending after all

To the rendezvous
Fortunes to be told
To the rendezvous
Wonders to behold
Onto a place where we can find
Maybe a trace of peace of mind
To the rendezvous all in good time

Painting the horizon
A mast beyond the blue
Caught up in the tempest of another point of view
Could there be a mutiny in the making
Could it be a lorelei in song
Is it just a ghost that's been forgiven all along

Will there be a jewel beneath the boulder
Will there be a pride beyond the fall
Will there really be a happy ending after all
Will there be a pride beyond the fall
Will there really be a happy ending after all

To the rendezvous
Fortunes to be told
To the rendezvous
Wonders to behold
Onto a place where people find
Maybe a trace of peace of mind
To the rendezvous all in good time

Deputy Dan lyrics - Christopher Cross

Just another pure heart
A wide open mind
Driftin' like a cork on a sea of dreams
Playin' the school boy
Makin' believe
Dyin' to fill the shoes
The really big shoos for the TV screams

Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid
Talkin' bout the heroes and the war
Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me had changed

Dedicated upstart entourage
In the garage
Four crazy Juveniles
Burnin' up the midnight miles
The gigs
The juke box guinea pigs
Spending our prime
Hey man
Honkey-tonk women just one more time

Standing on the sidelines when I was a kid
Talkin' bout the heroes and the war
Living on the frontlines wasn't quite the same
Something deep inside of me had changed

Took a ride on the wild wind
And lost myself an old friend'
Don't ask me now if I'd do it again

Night Across The World lyrics - Christopher Cross

I've heard there could be desire
So strong you would brave the fire
Until now I made them liars
Now there is you
'Cause something about your touch
Is making me feel too much
And letting you go is such a hard thing to do

And when the dawn is closing in
I know I need to drown in your love again
I'd chase the night across the world
To spend one more minute with you

When morning lay just ahead
And daybreak invades our bed
I'll steal you away instead
And fly to the dark

'Cause when the dawn is closing in
I know I need to drown in your love again
I'd chase the night across the world
To spend one more minute with you
Alone with you

Hold on
Our wings will not fail us
On to Babylon
Where the light can't find us
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on

In the heat of this desperate hour
We will follow the moon and its power
That fever that we must devour
Over and over again

Angry Young Men lyrics - Christopher Cross

Father
Mother
Doin' the best they can
Sister
Brother
Out there livin' on the lam
Heedless
Guarded
Makes it hard to understand

With all this history
Trust won't come easily
I know it's hard to believe
Nobody meant you no harm
All the angry young men
All the lonely young girls
Caught in a web of confusion
In an unintended world

Father
Mother
We're doin' the best we can
Sister
Brother
Changing the best laid plans
Childlike
Childish
I wish you could understand

To come to maturity
With some sense of dignity
I know it's hard to believe
Nobody means you no harm

All the lonely old women
All the angry old men
Hoping the hurt was behind them
Starting it over again

Love can be the reality
But only as far as the heart can see

With all this history
Trust won't come easily
I know it's hard to believe
Nobody needs you

To come to maturity
With some sense of dignity
I know it's hard to believe
Nobody means you no harm

All the angry young men
All the lonely young girls
Caught in a web of confusion
In an unintended world

In The Blink Of An Eye lyrics - Christopher Cross

She said baby baby
I know what you want and I'm sure
That it's time for you to try
And get yourself the things that are yours

'Cause it could be gone in the blink of an eye
It could be dawn in the blink of an eye
Isn't it time that you reached for the sky
And let yourself go

I been crazy baby
I know what you mean and I swear
That if there's a song in the night
You know I've gotta hear it out there

'Cause it could be gone in the blink of an eye
It could be dawn in the blink of an eye
Isn't it time that you reached for the sky
And let yourself go
There's a fire deep inside

I said baby baby
Let's steal the moon and let love have its way
Burning like a falling star until we are
A million miles away

It could be gone in the blink of an eye
It could be dawn in the blink of an eye
Isn't it time that you reached for the sky
And let yourself go now
There's a fire deep inside
Let yourself go now
And forget the fears you hide
Let yourself go now
And forget the tears you cried

And when you needed me
Did I just turn away
And when I spoke my heart
Is there something I forgot to say

Is There Something lyrics - Christopher Cross

Lately I see clouds of sorrow in your eyes
Some deep sadness you can never quite disguise
Now I'm scared to ask what it's leading to
But I'm more afraid of not asking you

Is there something that you want to tell me
Is there something that I ought to know
Are we something that's still worth fighting for
Or should I simply let you go
Is there something I can do to reach you
Are we something more than history
I'll find some way to convince you to stay
If you just tell me honestly
Is there something left of you and me

You've got secrets you've been keeping for too long
And I'm going crazy acting like there's nothing wrong
I can taste the truth every time we kiss
And I can't go on
At least not like this

I don't want to lose you
But what's the use of holding on
I don't really have you
If the feeling's gone

Is there something I can do to reach you
Are we something more than history
If there's no way to convince you to stay
And be the way we used to be
Then there's something that I want to tell you
And I want you to believe it's true
We had something that I'll never forget
Even if I wanted to
'Cause part of me will always be with you

Isn't It Love lyrics - Christopher Cross

Maybe things are not what they seem
And baby we know it
I feel like I'm wakin' up out of a dream
And we both want to control it
I don't wanna make a wrong move
I don't wanna lose a good groove
So baby let's talk about it
Baby let's think

Isn't it love
Isn't it love that we are feeling
Isn't it love
Isn't it love
Isn't it time we stop concealing
Isn't it love

We don't have to love by the rules
So baby enjoy it
Bein' a fool for love don't make us fools
Don't let anyone destroy it
You need a home to run to
You need to have your fun too
So baby let's talk about it
Baby let's think

Isn't it love
Isn't it love that we are feeling
Isn't it love
Isn't it love
Isn't it time we start revealing
Isn't it love

And from the dawn of time
People lookin' for souls that rhyme
People lookin' people lookin' for souls that rhyme
But when our worlds collide
You gotta see it from a different side somehow
You just gotta say
We don't wanna make a wrong move
We don't wanna lose a good groove
So baby let's talk about it
Talk to me and tell me how you feel
Can we really live without it
Baby let's think

Isn't it love
Isn't it love that we are feeling
Isn't it love
Isn't it love
Isn't it time we start the healing
Isn't it love

Nothing Will Change lyrics - Christopher Cross

The boys find a home in a family born of hate
The girls plant desperate love
In a womb that just won't wait
Forgotten mother pushes a cart with her heart
Through a twisted fate

As walls come down and spirits rise
The business of fear never dies
The artful dodgers with their false alarms
Take from the mouths to feed the arms
Pit god against god for a piece of land
They think they hear his words but they don't understand

Like a river lost on its way to the sea
Where is humanity
I know that nothing will change
'Til it changes in me
'Til it changes in you

There's a plague upon the body
A plague upon the mind
While the bridge is burning are we deaf dumb and blind
From the fallen forest to the poison bay
The world is turning
Turning out that way

Fe fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an Englishman
Fe fi fo fum
I smell the blood of an Irishman
I smell the blood of an African
I smell the blood of Americans
I smell the blood of a Chinaman
I smell the blood of an Indian
I smell the blood of Rumanians
I smell the blood of a Latin American
I smell the blood of a million sons
I smell the blood of everyone

Driftin' Away lyrics - Christopher Cross

The clock is screaming and it's time to go
The day is waiting and you're moving slow
News and weather on the radio
But your mind keeps driftin' away

Work is steady and your friends are good
You're going forward like you think you should
You'd put your heart into it if you could
But your mind keeps driftin' away

Look at your world through the windowpane
Embrace that secret thing that keeps you sane
You're always saying that you can't complain
But your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away

The conversation turns to seeds you've sown
It gets you thinkin' 'bout someone you've known
She's always with you but she's still alone
And your mind keeps driftin' away

We make excuses but you know damn well
A dream's a story only you can tell
You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell
But your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away

Another sunset another dawn
Hard to distinguish where the lines are drawn
Hard to imagine where the time has gone
You might discover you're where you belong
When your mind is driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away

We make excuses but you know damn well
A dream's a story only you can tell
You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell
But your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away

A Fisherman's Tale lyrics - Christopher Cross

Took my troubles
Down to the sea
Put my ear to a seashell
Inquisitively

Thought I heard a heartbeat
It could have been mine
I guess it doesn't matter
In the grand design

Like a windblown sail
Like a fisherman's tale
There's no end to the glory
Like a windblown sail
Like a fisherman's tale
There's no end to the story

Don't let your vision
Go down with the sun
'Cause it might be cloudy
When tomorrow comes

Where the winds of a heart
Meet the wiles of a mind
There will be stillness
At the waterline

When I was young and time was free
I thought the world was reaching out for me
I believed I could
I believed I would
Live forever and ever

Took my troubles
Down to the sea
Put my ear to a seashell
Inquisitively

"Back Of My Mind" (1988)




Someday lyrics - Christopher Cross

Here's a song for the hearts so lonely
The ones who feel that love won't come
Looking to find that one and only
I've got something to say to you

You see the lovers walking down the street
You feel your life's a little incomplete
I know what you mean and I'm here to tell you
Wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I would not lie

Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon

You give your love away to someone new
Just so you can say that he belongs to you
You smile and you laugh and you talk of forever
I'm not so sure that it's true

Don't give up on love
Someday will come soon

After you've found that dream you treasure
After the chill has left the air
All of the pieces will come together
The things that two can share
But only time can take you there

Never Stop Believing lyrics - Christopher Cross

Every night in my window
I see pictures of the day we met
I keep wishing on the falling stars
To forget you but it hasn't happened yet

And I still remember when you walked away
It was more than my heart could believe
Careless wind blew the smell of your perfume away
But the touch of you
It never leaves

So I'll never stop believing
Someday your love is coming back to me
No I'll never stop believing
Someday that you'll be coming back to me

Everybody in my life
They say forget that girl
She's gone for good
How can I explain this heart
It just keeps hanging on
Cause something says it should

Oh I go on remembering how good we were
The sweetest days I'll ever know
This careless boy
Somehow he let you get away
But the touch of you
He'll never let it go

Time and time again I see
Just how much she meant to me
Oh a love like that is meant to be
She's got to come back
She's got to come back

Swept Away lyrics - Christopher Cross

I never had anything happen so fast
Took one look and I shattered like glass
I guess I let it show
Cause your smile told me you knew
That you're everything I ever wanted at once
There's no holding this heart
When it knows what it wants
And I never wanted anything more than to know you

I was swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away

And so it begins
This journey of love
The summer wind carries us to places all our own
The words of a look
The language of touch
The way that you want me means so much
And I never wanted anything more
Than to love you

I am swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
Away, seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes
I was swept away

Oo, I hope I wake up soon
Oo, I'm a victim of that crazy moon

The very first time you said my name
I knew it would never sound the same
Something about me has changed forever

Can't you see I am swept away
No one in the world but you and I
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I am swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
Away, seeing my tomorrow's in your eyes
Gotta find a way
To make you feel the way that I do
I was swept away
Without a warning
Like night when the morning begins the day
I was swept away
We were swept away
Dreaming of you
Swept away

Any Old Time lyrics - Christopher Cross

Everyone maybe once or twice
Finds a friend that's a friend for life
Somebody who believed in me like you
From those days of childhood fights
Through the nights when we'd ask advice
All of those times when nobody else would do

Any old time that you wanna hear from me
To find your way or kick around a memory
Like the old times
Any old time will do

I can tell when the telephone rings
It's gonna be you just to talk about things
It's funny how it seems to happen when you're on my mind
Every time good love goes bad
When I can't believe the luck I've had
All of those times I'm glad you're a friend of mine

Any old time that you need to call on me
To find your way or kick around those memories
Like the old times
Any old time will do

Don't you ever forget
Any old time when the road is getting rough to climb
And you think maybe you've had enough
Just like the old times
Any old time you're blue

All at once I went and got a hunch
Everything we ever felt was true
As we find the years behind us and we live the years ahead
Let's remember laughter and all the words we said

Make new friends and keep the old
One is silver and the other one's gold
Something Sally said that stuck in my head
And I never wanna let it go

Any old time that you need to lean on me
I'll be there -- you can dream on me
Just like the old times
Any old time will do

I Will (Take You Forever) lyrics - Christopher Cross

I was a man who always
Played around in love
So quick to take
But so afraid to give enough

But now I've found the one
And Heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
And time can't take away

I was a girl who trusted no one
With my heart and the dreams
That young girls dream
Were just vanishing in the dark

But now I've found the one
And Heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
They say

That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you

Now my touch belongs to you
And I will always be your best friend
Now my secrets are safe with you
And the magic will never end

Now you are the one
And Heaven will only know
What only our eyes can say
They say

That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you, anyone else but you

That I will take you forever
(Oh yes I will, yes I will take you forever)
There will never be anyone else in my heart but you
(In my heart)
I will take you forever
(Yes I will)

There will never be anyone else but you
(Anyone else anyone else)
I will take you forever
(I will take you forever, I'll take you forever)

There will never be anyone else in my heart but you
In my heart, I will take you forever
(I’ll take you forever)
there will never be anyone else in my heart but you.
(Ohh yeah)

That I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you

She Told Me So lyrics - Christopher Cross

We all know how the story begins
How we fall so easily in
To love
Then a boy breaks a girl's heart
A girl breaks a boy's heart
Goodbye is a very hard word to forget
But I think I finally met
The girl
To take away those yesterdays

Oh she loves me, she told me so
As a tear came to her eye
And I love her, I will, I know
Love her for the rest of my life

Once more I'm feeling like I'm out of control
Cause the girl's got a serious hold
On me
And part of me says run away
But I wanna stay
Should I be up front or cool
Which way is playing the fool
The only time I know what's right
Is when I hear her telling me

Somewhere there's a star in the sky of every night
Shining for the love of hearts
The light of that star, like the hand of a friend
Leading me back to love again

If you love her let her know
Let her see all the secrets in your heart
If she loves you she'll only love you more
As she find out who you are

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
