It Takes Love Written by Glen Burtnik, Bob Berger Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Sometimes it's hard to smile Keep looking back Searching for somebody Who once was in your life Baby let him go now There'll be something better ahead It takes love to make love You can't hide behind your broken heart It takes love to make love Let the light of another lover shine on you We all have tears to cry But there comes a day To leave your tears behind you And give your heart Someplace to start And if you find your way there There'll be someone waiting for you It takes love to make love You can't hide behind your broken heart It takes love to make love Let the light of another lover shine on you Like a river That flows To the sea Don't wait Like a river Flowing down Whoa...hey...ooh...ah...ooh It takes love to make love You can't hide behind your broken heart It takes love to make love Let the light of another lover shine on you It t...

Love At First Sight

Love At First Sight Written by Dennis DeYoung, Glen Burtnik, James Young Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Driving past your house again I feel the same way I did then I get weak, just thinking about you It all began so easily A look from you a glance from me Then our eyes met like thunder & lightning You and I, strangers lost in a moment Eye to eye We were caught unaware of the passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone like me Love at first sight So rare, and so exciting I only hope this love we found can last I'm not a man who acts this way But lately I can't concentrate And I don't sleep, just dreaming about you I try to reach you on the phone But voices there say you're not home And my heart aches, thinking I've lost you One more time, seeing your face in the moonlight One more chance to be caught unaware Of this passion inside us Love at first sight I know that this can't be happening No, not to someone...

Haven't We Been Here Before

Haven't We Been Here Before Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Haven't we been here before Footsteps lead down to the note on the door That says I can't stay here anymore And haven't we felt this same way Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same To say I can't stay one minute more You might think that it's hopeless Beyond our control But that's not necessarily so Can't you see there's a chance For the daring young soul Who's finally learned to say no No, I won't be misused Ignored or refused And I won't just give up and let go So tonight hold me close to you And don't give up what's important to you And as time rolls on Nothing can stand in our way And I believe if we learn from the past We'd find keys to unlock every door Dark would turn into light We'd be strong We'd be right So tonight hold me close to you And don't give up what's important to you And as time rolls on Nothing will stand in o...

Snowblind

  Snowblind Written by Dennis DeYoung, James Young, and Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by James Young and Tommy Shaw Mirror, mirror on the wall The face you've shown me scares me so I thought that I could call your bluff But now the lines are clear enough Life's not pretty even though I've tried so hard to make it so Mornings are such cold distress How did I ever get into this mess I'm snowblind, can't live without you So fine I just can't get away Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind Harmless and innocent you devil in white You stole my will without a fight You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes You tricked me with visions of Paradise Now I realize I'm Snowblind, can't live without you So fine I just can't get away Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind Mirror, mirror I confess I can't escape this emptiness No more reason to pretend Here comes that same old feeling again Snowblind, can't live without you So fine I just ca...

Lights

Lights Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube I heard the knock on my door I heard the ring of the bell I got the letter but I couldn't go So many thoughts in my head So many places to be So many faces that I long to see Standing in front of me tonight The lights will take me where I long to be Just like a thousand nights before Somebody said to me Why do you do this to you Why not sit back and relax Go to the islands and forget it all Slow down, you're moving too fast You seem afraid it won't last Take my advice, go straight and settle down Thank you for caring, but tonight the lights will take me where I long to be Just like a thousand nights before I can't explain, it gives me something Give me the lights, precious lights Give me lights Give me my hope, give me my energy You can turn the wrong into right Precious lights illuminate me, carry me away Carry me, carry me

Boat on the River

Boat on the River Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Take me down to my boat on the river I need to go down, I need to come down Take me back to my boat on the river And I won't cry out any more Time stands still as I gaze in her waters She eases me down, touching me gently With the waters that flow past my boat on the river So I won't cry out anymore Oh the river is deep The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand And all roads lead to Tranquility Base Where the frown on my face disappears Take me back to my boat on the river And I won't cry out anymore Oh the river is wide The river it touches my life like the waves on the sand And all roads lead to Tranquility Base Where the frown on my face disappears Take me back to my boat on the river And I won't cry out anymore And I won't cry out anymore And I won't cry out anymore

Borrowed Time

Borrowed Time Written by Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Yeah yeah! Don't look now, but here come the Eightees! I was so cool back in Sixty-Five I had it made 'cause I understood what to do to survive I had my car, and I made the scene Didn't give a damn about no gasoline They can go to hell My friend we never thought about the world And its realities The promised land was ours We were the Great Society I'm so confused by the things I read, I need the truth But the truth is, I don't know who to believe The left say yes, and the right says no I'm in between and the more I learn Well, the less that I know I got to make a show Livin' high, living fine Livin' high on borrowed time Yes! No! Yes! No! No! Yes! No! Yes!

Sing for the Day

Sing for the Day Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Hannah you're with me in spirit wherever I go To the ends of the earth and all points between high and low Each night by the stage you appear as you are The ever intangible child Ageless and timeless as Dorian Grey Oh Hannah I know that it's you and you're leading me on Hannah you're my inspiration my fountain of youth And as your surrogate leader I'm bound in your search for the truth And yes how the truth rushes out When it's become honestly clear I see your anxious and curious eyes But Hannah I need you as much as you think you need me Come to your window tonight and we'll fly to your dreams And we'll Sing for the day sing for the moment Sing for the time of your life Come for an hour stay for a moment Stay for the rest of your life Hannah don't fail me I need you like never before Father time's at my back on my heels Behind every door (and he says) Son when the youth has but gon...

Queen of Spades

  Queen of Spades Written by James Young/Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Day into night she's with me How sweet is her warm embrace Safe in the scent of jasmine So safe in her gold and lace Mornings I find, she's left me So cold so alone, but aware I try to escape, she finds me Oh run though I may, she's there, there, there, there, there... Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone She'll bring you things, many things you might never have known But when your die is cast she'll have the final laugh at you She'll lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool Beware of the Queen of Spades Her black widow's curse might find you yet Beware of a love that you will regret Her love means only your death Day into night she's with me Turn of a card, she's there The first time is free, you know But from now on, pay me, me, me, me, me... Beware of the Queen of Spades Her black widow's curse might find you yet Beware of a love that you w...
