Heaven Is A 4 Letter Word Written by John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, Mark Spiro Lead Vocals by John Waite There's a rumor here And it's going round Can you hear it on the street If you realize that the pleasure lies Between surrender and the heat Just take a walk on the wild side babe And I'll meet you halfway there And if you're talking about paradise There's no need to say a prayer Cause baby I'll take you there Hey girl Haven't you heard Heaven is a four letter word One touch is never enough You'll find out when you enter the world Heaven is a four letter word Lose your innocence For experience But you've got to take the chance Can you rock and roll Can you get down babe Cause it's tough for you to dance Don't need to ride in a limousine To feel like a millionaire And if you're talking 'bout fantasy It could happen anywhere Baby I'll take you there Hey girl Haven't you heard Heaven is a four letter word One touch is

When I See You Smile Written by Diane Warren Lead Vocals by John Waite Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through Through this world without having you I just wouldn't have a clue 'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me And there's no way of breaking free And then I see you reach for me Sometimes I wanna give up, wanna give in I wanna quit the fight And then I see you baby And everything's alright, everything's alright When I see you smile, I can face the world Oh, oh You know I can do anything When I see you smile, I see a ray of light Oh, oh I see it shining right through the rain When I see you smile Baby when I see you smile at me Oh, yeah Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do What a touch of your hand can do It's like nothing that I ever knew Hey And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it 'Cause you're here with me now And one look at you baby Is all I'll ever need, is all I'll eve

Ghost In Your Heart Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Martin Page Lead Vocals by John Waite A little white picket fence around your heart It's everything you wanted Now it's tearing you apart You're gonna raise a family now But you don't know where to start I remember you Me I pack a suitcase And move from town to town A little east of Eden Too late to turn around Marionettes on wires You dance out of control I remember you Are you crying in your sleep tonight When you're lying with him Do you turn out the light Are you hiding in your dreams tonight In your world I will be the ghost in your heart The ghost in your heart Well you said you couldn't take it You had to settle down And I was the wild one With both feet off the ground I could never understand you But I loved you anyhow I remember now Are you crying in your sleep tonight When you're lying with him Do you turn out the light Are you hiding in your dreams tonight In your world I will be the ghost

Price Of Love Written by John Waite, Jonathan Cain Lead Vocals by John Waite Girl, sometimes it seems to me That I don't say the things I should, To you, I act like I'm no good And you wait for me patiently This house is not a home without you, It takes two hearts to share Your eyes will always see through me, And bring me to my knees And I will always turn to you, You're everything I need And through the good and bad times, You have always been there We hold each other close, You tell me it's alright The nights we fight about it, Never dream of givin' up That's the price of love Love, sometimes it makes us cry Forgive me when I get it wrong, Sometimes it's hard to be that strong And oh, I would do anything For you I'd turn the stars around, I'd find a way somehow This time, you see I built a bridge to you again Love shines, we'll sweep away the past We're more than lovers, more than friends And thru the good and bad times, You have always be

Restless Ones Written by  John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Ricky Phillips Lead Vocals by John Waite On the streets of this town There is no surrender They've got a number for every name Buildings and shopping malls Seem like a stage for pretenders They criticize the clothes you wear They try to make you feel like a stranger Cause you do things they wouldn't dare Who cares who's right and who's wrong Because we know where we belong The wild heart is calling us Out in the night A primitive love in your eyes And out on the wasteland of broken dreams Go you and I We're the restless ones (oh) Oh yeah The restless ones Step outside of yourself And you'll see through the changes Leave your mark Let them know you came But don't lead the rest of your lives In plastic cages Cause you do things they wouldn't dare Who cares who's right and who's wrong Because we know where we belong The wild heart is calling us Out in the night A primitive love in your eyes And ou

Don't Walk Away Written by Andy Hill, Peter Sinfield Lead Vocals by John Waite Wise men Thinking of numbers Shaken not stirred But I hang Hang on your every word These days I roll with the punches Always your clown Do you remember when We used to paint this town Red gold green and blue If you still believe in me, and you don't walk away I know I'll find an answer if you stay Don't walk away There's nothing in tomorrow That wasn't there in yesterday Oh no no no no no All the heartache Too many nights In the heartbreak hotel Don't you give up Love is a carousel Put on your dancing shoes And we can paint this town Red gold green and blue If you still believe in me And you don't walk away I know I'll find an answer If you stay Don't walk away There's nothing in tomorrow That wasn't there in yesterday I'm sad that's all This can't be the end It's not my fault The rain on the roof Reach out Reach out I'm drownin' not wav
