Riverside 03:49
She said, "meet me after dinner" He said, "meet me by the riverside" He jumped off rocks and she swore he'd die Down by the riverside Blue dress sitting in the summer light That day they fell in love Wishing on stars and holding her tight Down by the riverside Years passed, she got a little thinner Now he's fat but less of a sinner now All those years they spent their nights Down by the riverside Two kids were found in the picture Mom, Dad, a kid and his sister Found in a wallet they found in a hole Down by the riverside Time well spent and memories had Down by the riverside "I wish I could go back" she said "Down by the riverside"

As I watched you in the light of the moon On a bridge on that summer night I couldn't help but notice how lovely you are I see you smile with delight and I know That I'd love to hold you tight Wishing that life would just become that easy Patiently waiting for your love To come to me In all its beauty and splendor Patiently waiting for your precious love Must I wait here forever But good things come to those who wait So now I just pray that will be fate How can I help but fall for you completely All our rides and walks along the beach Your kindness shown to all we meet Why's this angel left to fly so close to me Patiently waiting for your love To come to me In all its beauty and splendor Patiently waiting for your tender love Must I wait here forever Patiently waiting for your love Patiently waiting for your love Patiently waiting for your love Patiently waiting for your love Don't make me wait here forever

Let Me Be 04:26
You almost stuck around this time You almost didn't lie I almost believed you And I almost didn't cry You say you don't believe in me Well I don't believe in you You give me things that you don't want And you keep the things you do You and I We can cross the sky Can I dream tonight Of the morning light Will it shine? Will it ever shine down on me? I almost hear you voice sometimes I can almost smell your hair I almost see you face at night And I almost really care So tell me why I feel so weak When I look into your eyes The ground falls from beneath my feet And I'm falling from the sky You and I We can cross the sky Can I dream tonight Of the morning light Will it shine? Will it ever shine down on me? 'Cause I'm lost in the wreckage And I'm torn by the sea And if you see me floating helpless Let me be Oh, let me be I almost want you back sometimes I almost miss our fun But you don't know what you have said And you don't know what you've done So you and I can't go back To the place we were before You've run off with some new face Now you've slammed and locked my door You and I Will never touch the sky Guess I'll dream tonight Of the morning light Will it shine? Will it ever shine down on me? 'Cause I'm lost in the wreckage And I'm torn by the sea And if you think that something's missing It's just me Let me be Let me be

Another suny day Just wasting away I've got a hundred million things to do But it ain't no crime If I spend my time Spend my time dreaming of you Well I jumped in my car And I drove real far Radio playing a tune But every single song That ever comes on Always makes me think of you I had another dream of you today And that's OK I'm still not over you but hey Life goes that way And I know that I will be OK On another sunny day Another sunny day And I wish I could say All the things that are on my mind I need you now But I don't know how And the words I cannot find Don't try and tell me now Just exactly how Our love went so far astray I ain't that mad Just a little bit sad And I wouldn't understand it anyway I had another dream of you today And that's OK I'm still not over you but hey Life goes that way And I know that I will be OK On another sunny day On another sunny day I will be OK And had I known that there would be Such a price to pay I would still do it all the same Another sunny day And I wish we could play Just like we used to do I hope I'm wrong But those days are gone And there's nothing I can do Playing my guitar Or driving in my car It all seems just the same With a little more time I'll be just fine So I guess I can't complain I had another dream of you today And that's OK I'm still not over you but hey Life goes that way And I know that I will be OK On another sunny day On another sunny day On another sunny day

Well i liked it when you looked at me And I liked it when you smiled And I liked it when you held my hand When you made me go wild And I liked it when we danced that night We danced 'till 3 or 4 And I liked it when I took you home And walked you to your door And then you looked at me With those beautiful eyes And then you whispered In my ear that it's alright And I knew the words you spoke That they could not be lies And so I kissed you And so I kissed you And so I kissed you goodnight Well I saw you just the other night And things went rather well You were so glad to see me As far as I could tell And we talked and talked for hours on end About nothing at all And I knew that we were not just friends We were something after all And then you looked at me With those beautiful eyes And then you whispered In my ear that it's alright And I knew the words you spoke That they could not be lies And so I kissed you And so I kissed you And so I kissed you goodnight So now I know that come tonight That I will be with you And I will walk you home again At maybe 1 or 2 <br> And I know that we will talk awhile And let ourselves unwind And then run out of things to say And you will read my mind And then you'll look at me With those beautiful eyes And then you'll whisper In my ear that it's alright And I know the words you speek That they will not be lies And then I'll kiss you And then I'll kiss you And then I'll kiss you goodnight And then I'll kiss you And yes I'll kiss you And how I'll kiss you goodnight

There's an orange in a basket In your kitchen by the door And there's flowers on the table From your date the week before And there's a message on your message board That tells you that he called But the orange in the basket has now fallen to the floor There's a picture in your bedroom To remind you that he's gone And there's writing in your journal Explaining what went wrong And I suppose you're probably wondering Just why I wrote this song It's to tell you that I love you And I've loved you all along I wanna tell you that I love you And I've loved you all along There are times when you are closer Than anyone I've known I can tell you all my problems And you tell me of your own But I guess I never told you 'Cause I knew that it was wrong Never told you that I love you And I've loved you all along I wanna tell you that I love you And I've loved you all along What is to become of us Now that he is gone? What is to become of us Now that you have heard this song? There's a tear on your pillow And there's sadness in your eye And I know that you must wonder Why he had to say goodbye And you know that I am here for you But I hope for something more 'Cause the orange in the basket has now fallen to the floor The orange in the basket has now fallen to the floor And I know you're probably wondering Just why I wrote this song It's to tell you that I love you And I've loved you all along I wanna tell you that I love you And I've loved you all along

Happy Girl 01:52
She's a happy girl Living in her happy world She's a happy girl but how 'bout me? I feel I'm losing face Falling all over the place When sh'e in the room I can't see Does she even know what she does to me? Does she even care if I breathe? She's so divine I'm gonna make her mine It might take some time Just wait and see Happy girl in the street Happy girl I wanna meet Gotta be with happy girl endlessly I wanna be a happy boy Wanna be her favorite toy Happy girl and happy boy eternally Does she even know what she does to me? Does she even care if I breathe? She's so divine I'm gonna make her mine It might take some time Just wait and see She's a happy girl Living in her happy world She's a happy girl but how 'bout me? Happy girl won't you just talk to me Happy girl won't you just walk with me Happy girl I promise I will be true Happy girl I think I'm in love with you She's a happy girl Living in her happy world She's a happy girl but how 'bout me? I feel I'm losing face Falling all over the place When sh'e in the room I can't see Does she even know what she does to me? Does she even care if I breathe? She's so divine I'm gonna make her mine It might take some time Just wait and see She's a happy girl Living in her happy world She's a happy girl but how 'bout me? She's a happy girl but how 'bout me?

She seems to know when to run She seems to always have fun If I could have some fun with her For just a little while Maybe spend some time with her And maybe make her smile When she leaves I ask her to stay She says to me "there's no way" If I could just get her to stay For just a little while I know there are many ways That I could make her smile She seems to know when to run She seems to always have fun As I watch her walking down The street with other guys She looks and our glances meet And I see it in her eyes Please do not take her away I am just hoping that she'll want to stay And if her wild heart should stray I'll go on searching 'Till my dying day I want her to stay herre with me But she says that this cannot be I wanna spend my life with her But I know I never will Loving her's impossible Oh man, that girl's a pill She seems to know when to run She seems to always have fun She don't care about me now And I bet she never will Drags me 'round just like a clown But I love her still Please do not take her away I am just hoping that she'll want to stay And if her wild heart should stray I'll go on searching 'Till my dying day

Re-entry 03:02
Trying to live without you In my life was hard I hated each day and I feared That my heart was scarred Now I'm so glad that You've entered my life again Now I can play, work, sleep And I can laugh again When you were gone I could hardly go on Crying each night And just waiting for dawn I tried and yet failed To forget your sweet face I knew there'd be none Who'd quite take your place But then you re-entered And turned me back into me Reminded me how my life Really should ought to be Think of the things you've done Unto the likes of me Without you who knows Where in the world I would be Who knows why our love Required such trials Through thick and thin We have travelled the miles And so I now say Without no resent I, for misconduct Sincerely repent I thought with me You were feeling pure apathy Now I am glad that you're Showing me empathy And I'll try harder To be what you want me to Ask and receive And I will give it unto you Who knows why our love Required such trials Through thick and thin We have travelled the miles And so I now say Without no resent I, for misconduct Sincerely repent Re-entry Re-entry Re-entry Re-entry My heart was broken When you went away Now you've returned And I know that you'll stay Who would have thought It would turn out this way Re-entry Re-entry

Far Away 05:04
She's the one who brings The sunlight to my eyes She's the one who makes things bright She's the colors of the Newly setting sun She's the water when it's dry She's so far away She's so far away from me She's so far away She's so far away from me She's the quiet Of a busy city street When I'm low she makes me high She's the sugar Makes the bitter turn to sweet She's the filling of my pie She's so far away She's so far away from me She's so far away She's so far away from me And it seems that it's too far to go Cause I am the only me that I'll ever be Oh, and she is the only she That'll ever mean a thing to me Oh, and she is just another part of me She's the one who makes me Dream when I'm asleep She clears the dark clouds from my mind Whispers promises I hope that she will keep Then she leaves me far behind She's so far away She's so far away from me She's so far away She's so far away from me And it seems that it's too far to go Cause I am the only me that I'll ever be Oh, and she is the only she That'll ever mean a thing to me And she is just impossible to keep She's so far away So Far She's so far away So Far She's so far away So Far She's so far away So Far
