Air Supply - Making Love Out of Nothing at All

I know just how to whisper
And I know just how to cry
I know just where to find the answers
And I know just how to lie
I know just how to fake it
And I know just how to scheme
I know just when to face the truth
And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you everything I've gotta tell you
But I know I've gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you
And I'll never let you fall
And I don't know how you do it

Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all
Making love out of nothing at all

Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun are
Streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at
Your eyes like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness at the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know
Well, it's nothing 'til I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble
I can make the final block
I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl
And I'm never gonna make it like you do

Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all

Good one - i agree with you.

 

Man I am all over the place tonight with old threads - soft rock, ballads, Night Ranger, metal like Accept & the Scorps. Wow.

Listen as the wind blows

From across the great divide

Voices trapped in yearning

Memories trapped in time

The night is my companion

And solitude my guide

Would I spend forever here

And not be satisfied

 

[Chorus]

And I would be the one

To hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes dear

 

Through this world I've stumbled

So many times betrayed,

Trying to find an honest word,

To find the truth enslaved,

Oh you speak to me in riddles and

You speak to me in rhymes

My body aches to breathe your breath,

Your words keep me alive

 

[Chorus]

 

Into this night I wander,

It's morning that I dread,

Another day of knowing of

The path I fear to tread,

Oh, into the sea of waking dreams

I follow without pride,

Nothing stands between us here

And I won't be denied

 

[Chorus]

 

I'll hold you down

Kiss you so hard

I'll take your breath away

And after I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes

"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad"

Performed by Meat Loaf

Written By Jim Steinman

 

Baby we can talk all night

But that ain't gettin us nowhere

I told you everything I possibly can

There's nothing left inside of here

 

And maybe you can cry all night

But that'll never change the way that I feel

The snow is really piling up outside

I wish you wouldn't make me leave here

 

I poured it on and I poured it out

I tried to show you just how much I care

I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout

But you've been cold to me so long

I'm crying icicles instead of tears

And all I can do is keep on telling you

 

I want you, I need you

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

Now don't be sad

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

 

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach

You'll never drill for oil on a city street

I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks

But there ain't no Coup de Ville hiding at the bottom

of a Cracker Jack box

 

I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not

No matter how I try

I'll never be able to give you something

Something that I just haven't got

 

There's only one girl that I will ever love

And that was so many years ago

And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart

She never loved me back, I know

 

I remember how she left me on a stormy night

How she kissed me and got out of our bed

And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door

She packed her bags and turned right away

 

And she kept on telling me

She kept on telling me

She kept on telling me

 

I want you, I need you

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

 

I want you, I need you

But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

Now don't be sad

'Cause two out of three ain't bad

 

Baby we can talk all night

But that ain't getting us nowhere

Not much of a fan of soft rock, But I do love me some Yacht Rock.

 

Christopher Cross - Sailing!

 

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

Yust 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

Another great Yacht Rock

 

Robbie Doupree - Steal Away

 

C'mon and hold me

Just like you told me

Then show me

What I want to know

 

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Into the night

I know it ain't right

Don't tease me

Why don't you please me

Then show me

What you came here for

 

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Into the night

I know it ain't right

Into the night, baby

Make it tonight

Oooh

 

I caught you glancin' my way

And I know what you're after

(No second chances tonight)

 

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away

Into the night

 

I know it ain't right

Into the night

I know it ain't right

Why don't we steal away

I know it ain't right

Into the night, babe

Why don't we steal away

Make it tonight

Why don't we steal away

I've just closed my eyes again

Climbed aboard the dream weaver train

Driver take away my worries of today

And leave tomorrow behind

 

music.gif

Oo-hoo dream weaver

I believe you can get me through the night

Oo-hoo dream weaver

I believe we can reach the morning light

music.gif

 

Fly me high through the starry skies

Maybe to an astral plane

Cross the highways of fantasy

Help me to forget today's pain

 

music.gif

Oo-hoo dream weaver

I believe you can get me through the night

Oo-hoo dream weaver

I believe we can reach the morning light

music.gif

 

Though the dawn may be coming soon

There still may be some time

Fly me away to the bright side of the moon

And meet me on the other side

REO Speedwagon "Can't Fight This Feeling"

I can't fight this feeling any longer.
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship,
Has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my life direction,
You make everything so clear.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crushing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl,
Cause you take me to the places,
That alone I'd never find.

And even as I wander,
I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the wind,
On a cold, dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
And throw away the oars, forever.

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl upon the floor,
Come crushing through your door,
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

You stole my choice! laugh.gif laugh.gif

 

Slightly less great: One Lonely Night

 

You and your baby had some words today

Till not another word was left to say

I see that grin boy

Maybe you think you'll win boy

Until the sun goes down and once again boy

 

One lonely night

One lonely night

That's all it takes to completely break you

 

They say it's darkest right before the dawn

But oh those darkest hours can be so long

You're feeling strong boy

Tellin yourself she's wrong boy

But how much longer can this night go on boy

 

One lonely night

One lonely night

That's all it takes to completely break you

 

One lonely night

One lonely night

That's all it takes to completely break you

 

Oooh she's such a good find

Have you gone and lost your mind

You should know she's one of a kind

 

Oooh she's such a good find

Have you gone and lost your mind

You should know she's one of a kind

 

Just one lonely night

One lonely night

That's all it takes to completely break you

"Sailing" by Christopher Cross made me think of another one in the same vein. Anything Little River Band does is great, but Cool Change is my favorite. I would LOVE to be able to sing like this!

 

If there's one thing in my life that's missing

It's the time that I spend alone

Sailing on the cool and bright clear water

There's lots of those friendly people

They're showing me ways to go

But I never want to lose their inspiration

 

Time for a cool change

I know that it's time for a cool change

And I know that my life is so pre-arranged

I know that it's time for a cool change

 

Well I was born in the sign of water

And it's there that I feel my best

The albatros and the whales they are my brothers

And it's kind of a special feeling

When you're out on the sea alone

Staring at the full moon like a lover

 

I've never been romantic

And sometimes I don't care

I know it may sound selfish

But let me breathe the air

 

If there's one thing in my life that's missing

It's the time that I spend alone

Sailing on the cool and bright clear water

It's kind of a special feeling

When you're out on the sea alone

Staring at the full moon like a lover

Come take my hand

You should know me

I've always been in your mind

You know I will be kind

I'll be guiding you

 

Building your dream

Has to start now

There's no other road to take

You won't make a mistake

I'll be guiding you

 

You have to believe

We are magic

Nothing can stand in our way

You have to believe

We are magic

Don't let your aim ever stray

And if all your hopes survive

Destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive

For you

I'll bring all your dreams alive

For you

 

>From where I stand

You are home free

The planets align so rare

There's promise in the air

And I'm guiding you

 

Through every turn

 

I'll be near you

I'll come any time you call

I'll catch you when you fall

I'll be guiding you

 

You have to believe

We are magic

Nothing can stand in our way

You have to believe

We are magic

Don't let your aim ever stray

And if all your hopes survive

Destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive

For you

I'll bring all your dreams alive

For you

 

You have to believe

We are magic

Nothing can stand in our way

You have to believe

We are magic

Don't let your aim ever stray

And if all your hopes survive

Destiny will arrive

I'll bring all your dreams alive

For you

I'll bring all your dreams alive

For you

I cant find this feeling and Sailing would have been amongst my chioces !! But heres another great song!

 

Seagul by Bad. Co.

 

Seagull, you fly across the horizon

Into the misty morning sun.

Nobody asks you where you are going,

Nobody knows where you're from.

 

 

Here is a man asking the question

Is this really the end of the world?

Seagull, you must have known for a long time

The shape of things to come.

Now you fly, through the sky, never asking why,

And you fly all around 'til somebody, Shoots you down.

 

 

Da da da da da da da down.

Mm mm mm mm, mm mm.

 

 

Seagull, you fly, across the horizon,

Into the misty morning sun.

Nobody asks you where you are going,

Nobody knows where you are from,

Now you fly through the sky, never asking why,

And you fly all around 'til somebody, yeah,

Shoots you down. Mm mm, yeah.

Seagull you fly, seagull you fly away.

 

 

And you fly away today

And you fly away tomorrow

And you fly away, leave me to

my sorrow.

Mm, mm, mm.

 

 

Seagull go and fly, mm, mm, mm,

Fly to your tomorrow, leave me to my sorrow, fly.

Billy Joel

Summer Highland Falls

 

They say that these are not the best of times,

But they're the only times I've ever known,

And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.

Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes,

And I can only stand apart and sympathize.

 

For we are always what our situations hand us...

It's either sadness or euphoria.

 

And so we argue and we compromise,

And realize that nothing's ever changed,

For all our mutual experience, our seperate conclusions are the same.

 

Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity,

Our reason co-exists with our insanity.

And though we choose between reality and madness...

It's either sadness or euphoria.

 

How thooughtlessly we dissipate our energies

Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies.

And so we'll stand upon the ledges of our lives,

With our respective similarities...

It's either sadness or euphoria.
