The night the sky was falling
You were nowhere to be found
I saw two hearts colliding
And tumble to the ground
You searched the far horizon
Your hopes were tied and bound
I heard the night wind calling
A high and lonesome sound
Everywhere you go
You see some vision
Of the past
Faded expectations
And loves that didn't last
But I've seen another side of you
One who believes that dreams come true
One who believes that love shines thru
One who believes that
I still believe in you
You had no way of knowing
How far that you would fall
You couldn't help but showing
Your expression told it all
And I know you've been forgiven
So go and turn it loose
It's time to go on living
It's not so hard to choose
But everywhere you go
You see some vision
Of the past
Faded expectations
And loves that didn't last
But I've seen another side of you
One who believes that dreams come true
One who believes that love shines thru
One who believes that
I still believe in you
I still believe in you

I know you said that you loved me
But I've seen the bad turn to worse
And I know that actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than words
Actions speak louder than
I've seen where words have no meaning
Where truth was left far behind
I've seen a love that's both cruel and kind
A love that's both cruel and kind
A love that's both cruel and
CHORUS:
I always try to do my best
In a bad situation
I always turn the other cheek
No retaliation
I lost my eyes to see
That girl is killing me
I've seen some things I'm not sure of
And I've heard some words I detest
And I've seen the one that's both cursed and blessed
One that's both cursed and blessed
One that's both cursed and
I know that I could do better
But you say "Don't even try"
And I know that some things are better passed by
Some things are better passed by
Some things are better passed
CHORUS: (Repeat)

How can I ever learn to say goodbye
When my heart just won't let go
How can I wake to face another day
I hate the way I love you so
What made you change your mind and turn away
You fanned the flame, then doused the fire
But there's still a trace of pain behind your smile
Did we share love or just desire
CHORUS:
I can see the new moon peaking on top of the mountains
I can hear the distant voices call your name
I can feel your spirit dancing across the water
I can sense the coming clouds are filled with rain
I can sense the coming clouds are filled with rain
I can't forget the way your smiling eyes
Sent their gaze in my direction
I swear they looked right through my very soul
And learned the truth of my confession
You listened to the sound of your own heart
And to yourself you must be true
There's not a simple way to ease the pain
I'll have to learn to live without you.
CHORUS: (Repeat)

You got no wings
But you blew into my life
Like a whispering wind
You smiled and took my hand
Like a long lost friend
Then you took my life and let me love again
CHORUS:
Heaven must be missing an angel
Heaven must be missing an angel
Heaven must be missing an angel
Since I found you
It's just the way things go
It didn't turn out quite
The way you planned
After time and tears
You finally took your stand
It's so hard to set your feet
On shifting sand
CHORUS: (Repeat)
If I could hold back time
I would take you to a place
That no one knows
I would dry each hidden
You never show
Then I'd hold you close
And I'd never let you go
CHORUS: (Repeat)

Here I go I think I'm falling
Feels so good don't want to hit the ground
Been so long since love came calling
I speak your name it's just the sweetest sound
At night my dreams they are about you
In waking hours can't get you off my mind
Don't know if I really want to
I'll take my chance and see what I might find
CHORUS:
Please don't wake me if I'm dreaming
Just let me dream and dream all day
Don't turn away or I'll be pleading
For you to never go away
I think I might be getting to you
Could it be your having more than fun
Believe me when I whisper to you
I like it here this ain't no hit and run
I like the message you've been sending
The things you say the little things you do
What's the use I'll quit pretending
Can't stop my heart I think you know its true
CHORUS: (Repeat)
Here I go I think I'm falling
Feels so good don't want to hit the ground
Been so long since love came calling
I speak your name it's just the sweetest sound

I surrender
My heart and soul
No longer are my own
For years they traveled
Silent and alone
With you they've found
A shelter and a home
Love is tender
But bitter nights
Had chilled me to the bone
I can't believe
The things that I've been shown
Sometimes I feel my heart's
A hollow stone
There's no denying
Bridges have burned
But there's hope for the dying
In each lesson learned
Return to Sender
The Love that lingered on
Has taken wing
Our lives lived out like
Puppets on a string
What goods a song bird's
Song who doesn't sing?
Please remember
Return the missing one
Unto the fold
To keep the fires burning
In the cold
To love despite
The dark side of your soul
I surrender
My heart and soul
No longer are my own
For years they traveled
Silent and alone
With you they've found
A shelter and a home

I know a place where you can stay
If trouble starts to come your way
When castles crumble to the sand
You just reach out and take my hand
Just call my name and I'll be near
When no one else will lend an ear
When darkness has you on the run
We'll find a place under the sun
CHORUS:
Cuz long ago and yesterday
You did the same for me
And there's just no way to explain
The change you made in me
Now people come and people go
Yes and friends will do the same
You were the anchor in my storm
When the world had gone insane
I'll pick you up if you should fall
I'll say hello whenever you call
I'll bind your wounds if your in pain
I'll be your shelter in the rain
When dreams come crashing to the ground
And hope is nowhere to be found
Just call me up, I'll be around
I'll speak the words or not make a sound
CHORUS: (Repeat)

Where are you now
Lonesome paradise
Hands upon the plow
Searching for the son
Squandered innocence
Eyes on the horizon
CHORUS:
Love and only love
Will set you free
Love and only love
Will let you
Be what you will be
Love and only love
Dreams fade to black
They were here but now
Love has jumped the track
Numbered are those days
But time is tenderness
There's light beyond the haze
CHORUS: (Repeat)
Standing on your own
Slave to circumstance
The things that you've been shown
Listen for the sound
Faint but distant
It's your heart coming round
CHORUS: (Repeat)

CHORUS:
Love has no mercy
And I have no shame
Circumstances what they are
I find myself to blame
Which way will you turn
Standing at the crossroads
You never planned to fall so far
You never planned to fall at all
Looking in your eyes
I can see the confusion
You figured you had seen enough
To know just where you'd been
When you thought it safe
Here comes the intrusion
And everything you thought you knew
Just rolls right out the door
CHORUS: (Repeat)
You never had a chance
To let things settle
You spent so many night alone
You welcomed an honest friend
But now the walls are down
The smoke has cleared the battle
Are the dreams you have today
The same as yesterday?
CHORUS: (Repeat)

I knew that when I cut the cord
There'd be a time of falling
But how was I to know at night
I'd hear your sweet voice calling
And hear your footsteps echo down the hall
Sometimes I think I just don't think at all.
What caught me by surprise this time
Were the words under the tree
So I held your heart up to the light
To see what I might see
You wear your past just like a thorny crown
Someday I hope you'll go and throw it down
CHORUS:
Love will always find a way back home
Love will always find a way back home
Your only chance of holding on is learning to let go
Cause love will always find a way back home.
Don't ask me why at times I find
This loneliness appealing
I put this question to myself
And find there lies the healing
Where darkness and the light sometimes collide
I stand before the truth and cannot hide
I tell you if the truth be known
I saw the coming crash
But I never saw the Phoenix rise
Out of cinder smoke and ash
Don't trade your heart of glass for one of stone
Cause love will always find its way back home.

Again this time with feeling
Was the echo in your head
Your heart kept right on beating
But the life you'd known was dead
What you said and what you wanted
Were never quite the same
The dream you held undaunted
Was a beast you couldn't tame
CHORUS:
You thought you'd learned your lesson
This time you'd stand your ground
But what it was and what could be
Got so lost this time around
You set your course, your aim was true
You stepped into the fire
But fear took hold and you looked down
and tumbled from the wire
The questions still repeating
The empty nights alone
The years you spent retreating
Had begun to take their toll
You though time was all you needed
While the past and present clash
Your heart was left untreated
While you went about your task
CHORUS: (Repeat)

Saw you walk into my dream
Not so long ago
The sun was sinking to the sea
The wind began to blow
The seabirds sang a lonesome tune
Still echoes in my ears
The moonlight shining thru your hair
You loved away my fears
CHORUS:
There's a wall of pain and twine
Wrapped around your heart
Bridge the hurt with
Love and time
I know that someday
You'll start to believe
A silver heart upon your hand
A promise made of gold
A smile that sailed a thousand ships
And stories yet untold
A love that doesn't comes by chance
Yes some may call it fate
Please don't toss it to the wind
Don't say that it's too late
CHORUS: (Repeat)
