Loren Radis
You could be an artist, conjure life from a blank page
You could be an author, so many worthwhile words to say
You could be a mother, teach your children to be brave
You could be a missionary, so many souls to save
But you've already changed my world
My precious little baby girl
Whatever you choose, you'll be everything to me
Yeah you've already changed my world
You could have been born in Portugal, or to a family in Spain
You could have been born years ago, in some long forgotten age
You could have been an Anaiyah, or a Kairi, or a Jane
I thank God that you're "Amelia", born in this time, in this place
'Cuz you've already changed my world
My precious little baby girl
Whatever may come, you'll be everything to me
Yeah you've already changed my world
Soon you will be walking, running, spreading wings to fly
Soon you will be talking, shouting, singing away the night
Soon you will be grown and leaving, your destiny to find
You'll always have a home here, in your mother's heart and mine
You've already changed my world
My precious little baby girl
Whatever may come, you'll be everything to me
Yeah you've already changed my world
Already changed my world
Yeah you've already changed my world
And I don't care if you know that you drive me wild
When you kiss my cheek
And I'm not scared to tell you that I feel complete
When you're here with me
And I'm sorry that I'm not who I should be
I'm sorry for always saying sorry
I'm sorry 'cuz I probably shouldn't tell you
But I'm really starting to believe I love you
I love you
And I need you
And if I’m not good enough
If who I am is not gonna satisfy you now
I don’t know who you thought I was
But I…
I’ve never been much of a dancer
You say love’s a game you gotta win to play
But you gotta play to win what sense does that make?
And I don’t wanna play some stupid game
If that’s all it means I don’t want a piece
But I can’t say that I won’t play
'Cuz you’ll just say I’m scared of the game
So come on I’ll take you on
You think I’m done I’ll prove you wrong
Either way...
And if this ain't good enough
If what you see’s not gonna satisfy you now
Then we better call it off
'Cuz I…
I’ve never been much of a dancer
I’ve never been much of a dancer
I’ve never been much of a dancer
Day by day
I can kiss you where it hurts
Will that help or only make it worse?
Your voice crackles on the telephone
When I hear it, it feels like coming home
Coming home
Home is when I'm by your side
Home is drowning in your eyes
Home is in each tender kiss
When you're away, I'm the one... who's homesick
Whithered petals on the dash
I don't know how I fell so far so fast
In memory I'll keep this rose
And wait for the day when you'll be coming home
Coming home
Home is when I'm by your side
Home is drowning in your eyes
Home is in each tender kiss
When you're away, I'm the one... who's homesick
Home is when I'm by your side
Home is drowning in your eyes
Home is in each tender kiss
When you're away, I'm the one... Yeah, I'm the one... who's homesick
Nothing scares me more than growing old
Slowly losing hold of all I've come to know
I'm never frightened, darling, when you're close
So promise you will never let me go
When you kiss my lips, I know it sounds strange but I swear my heart skips a beat
And when you cry, I pray the good lord would just let me die
Take my hand and baby don't you cry
Oh, how I wish that we could leave our cares far behind
We'd build a ship that soars right through the clouds
And we would never ever come back down
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
There always will be days when we're afraid
And we won't always know just what to do or say
I can't promise we'll never grow old
But I promise I will never let you go
But the words just stay tucked in our pockets
With the movie stubs and the keys to our cars
So instead we'll just listen to the music
And hum along to Between The Bars
I'll sing to the night and you'll listen
And pretend that I'm singing to you
A song about love and forgiveness
But those songs are just too good to be true
And Smokey Joe can yell from downstairs all he wants
Doesn't he know, there's nobody here but us
Terrified Ghosts in our bright colored robes
He says he's just trying to get him some sleep
So are we
You'll look at me and I'll smile
But we can't bear to say how we feel
And our friends have been asleep for quite a while
It's so late it's hard to tell just what's real
And I wonder if you'll dream about me
Or if your head's too full of tonic and gin
Well, there's always tomorrow to tell you
Always another day to bottle it in
No one's young as they used to be
But we'll hold on just as well as we can
Let's meet here the same time next week
We'll sing the night away all over again
And Our Terrified Ghosts can howl in our minds all they want
Don't they know that we can't be frightened
No longer alone with no place to call home
They're just trying to find some quiet and peace
So are we
So are we
So are we
And I won't cry for you, I won't waste no more tears
I'm not gonna let my life be ruled by fear
If you leave me now, just like you left me then
I swear to you this time I'll have no regrets
And if I'm not what you want then baby just say I'm not
And if I am please won't you show me that I am?
And if you won't, well I think that I'd rather know
And if you wanna go to San Francisco, just go
Sometimes I wonder just how it makes you feel
When I tell you how beautiful you are to me
Do you know that what it is I really mean
Is that your face is the loveliest that I've ever seen
Sometimes I wonder if you understand what I mean
When I tell you that I love you
Sometimes I'm not sure if you know what I'm trying to say
Is that I don't think I could live without you, no no
Baby don't go
Oh no no
Can't live without you
So why don't we just fly, off into the night
Second star to the right and straight on, until the sun's first light
Won't you trust in my plan, though you don't understand
Grab ahold of my hand, we're off to Never-Neverland
Well I can't claim to be Prince Charming
But I'll always treat you like a queen
And there's never been a doubt in my mind
We'd find our fairytale ending
So why don't we just fly, off into the night
Second star to the right and straight on, until the sun's first light
Won't you trust in my plan, though you don't understand
Grab ahold of my hand, we're off to Never-Neverland
Where we'll never grow old, but we'll never be bored
'Cuz we're never alone and we'll never say "never" again
No need to wish upon a star my dear
I promise you that I'll always be here
And anytime that you need
I'll take you away, I'll take you away
Far from this place, with a kiss upon your face
I'll take you away
So why don't we just fly
Second star to the right
So why don't we just fly, off into the night
Second star to the right and straight on, until the sun's first light
Won't you trust in my plan, though you don't understand
Grab ahold of my hand, we're off to Never-Neverland
Where we'll never grow old, but we'll never be bored
'Cuz we're never alone and we'll never say "never" again
And you could have flown away from this life
Held that pedal down through the night
The sun's coming up and the sea isn't so far away
Not so far go, no it won't take long
Just to find a home, for the shepherd's dog
You said "No one is blameless these crazy days"
Like losing that key down the rooftop drain
You said "Let every man prove he's better than where he's come from
They called you their friend in the better times
They ate you alive when you spoke your mind
You said all men have sinned and we all have our crosses to bear
And you died all alone in that darkened room
Your last words, they echoed in the concrete tomb
You said "God's got His plan and my rest isn't so far away
Not so far to go, no it won't take long
Just to find a home for the shepherd's dog
Not so far to go, no it won't take long
Just to find a home for the shepherd's dog... For the shepherd's dog
Stay right where you are
Stay right where you are
Don’t you make a move
I’m comin’ home yeah,
I’m comin’ home to you
Sometimes I’ll get stupid
And sometimes I’ll get confused
But just try to be patient
‘Cuz all I want, yeah
All I want is you
Tracing figure eights
Along your shoulder blades
Is where I want to be
Cuz you’re all I need yeah,
You’re everything to me
Sometimes I’ll get stupid
And sometimes I’ll get confused
But just try to listen
‘Cuz all I want, yeah
All I want is you
Whatever you say,
Don’t say it’s too late
I know there’s no mistakes
We can’t undo, please
Let me make it ok
And sometimes I’ll be stupid
And sometimes you’ll be stupid too
But don’t stop believin’
That you’re all I want and
I’m all you want too
Stay right where you are
And my mother, she kissed my face, and said “Baby don’t you lose your way”
And I prayed, I prayed, I prayed, that I’d find my way home someday
I met a pretty girl with pale blue eyes
She had a ribbon in her hair and she always wore a smile
I met a pretty girl with the ocean in her eyes
And a pink and yellow dress that was doin’ its best to hide her knees
From me
From the moment I saw her face in that barren and broken blue place
I prayed, I prayed, I prayed, that someday I could give her my name
At the end of all things where even memory dies
I gave up my body to stay by her side
At the end of all things in the infinite night
I could have stared down any demon, I was not afraid to die, with her hand
Holdin’ mine
And I prayed, I prayed, I prayed, that the darkness wouldn’t take us away
And she prayed, she prayed, she prayed
She prayed, she prayed, she prayed
With all of her heart she prayed
And the whole world prayed with her that day
And the darkness raged in impotent rage
And we prayed, we prayed, we prayed
And we found our way home that day
May I walk you home
May I walk you home
May I walk you home from school?
We’re laughing in the street between the bars
And I think it’d be unwise for us to make use of our cars
The stars burn bright and brilliantly tonight
And I’d do anything for just a few more minutes by your side
May I walk you home
May I walk you home
May I walk you home tonight?
I never thought we’d be quite where we are
That someone could ever hold me quite so firmly in their heart
And we may have our troubles time to time
But I’m content as always when I’m right here by your side
May I walk you home
May I walk you home
May I walk you to our home?
