It's Midnight, it's raining outside ... under a blue moon.  Believe me, I fell so hard for you, I had to pull back ... I don't know why.  

But, in my dreams you steal me away, we laugh just like children -- that's how we stay; always young as time goes by.  We live in this moment your hand in mine.  

You turned your back and I turned cold, and in the April rail we drifted apart.  Maybe I'm a fool, for walking away from you ... now, how you were feeling I guess I'll never know.  

But, in my dreams you steal me away, we laugh just like children -- that's how we stay; always young ... as time goes by.  We live in this moment -- your hand in mine.  

One spring night, so many years gone by.  I'm lost, my love, though I'm still not sure why.

Goodbye, and memories I'll have.  I'll wonder how things could have changed.  As years go by, we'll be miles apart, but, it'll always come back to me -- I'll remember the April rain.

But, in my dreams you steal me away, we laugh just like children -- that's how we stay; always young ... as time goes by.  We live in this moment -- your hand in mine.

April Rain

Change my life.
Change my life.
Change my life.
Change my life.

There was a time when I was lost, now it seems that I've been found.
And no matter what I've lost or given up, I'm so glad you stayed around.

I could go on apologizing, indeed I'm guilty of the sin.
But, I've tried to learn from my mistakes -- make sure they never happen again.

Wasting time just spinning idle dreams,
running scared like everyone else it seems.

Now I can the warm wind rolling, touching deep inside of me.
And for the first time in my life, I know what it is to be free.

Change my life.
Change my life.
Change my life.
Change my life.

Been many places I never should have, and of all the things I know to be true.
All my secrets from those dark, desperate times -- I never had to keep on from you.

Feeling dirty -- jaded by the fight,
when there's nothing worth winning, it's hard to find what's right.

Now I can the warm wind rolling, touching deep inside of me.
And for the first time in my life, I know what it is to be free.
Now I can the warm wind rolling, touching deep inside of me.
And for the first time in my life, I know what it is to be free.


Change my life.
Change my life.
Change my life.
Change my life.

Change My Life

The night was misty; my dreams had carried me far. The lights were lonely thought I was swimming in stars.

The party's over -- I had my time. One drifting moment. But that memory shines.

The night was steamy and we all came undone. In the passion ... of our reckless fun.

The party's over -- I had my time. One drifting moment. But that memory shines.

I sailed away into the great unknown. I won. I lost. But, how I have grown. Took the risk with all I had: Lived the good and survived the bad.

The night was over and I was all alone. Walking home on that long winding road.

The party's over -- I had my time. One drifting moment. But that memory shines.

The Night

I do not wish to say goodbye.
I can do a lot -- can we turn back time?
if you go, you should know …
I'm thankful for your time in my life.

Will you ever stop to remember?
The times we shared and how we cared then ...
so desperately, or so it seemed.
Was it really real? Or only how you made me feel.

Please do not leave, for I can be …
Someone else -- someone you need.
It's getting late. I'm going to wait.
And believe you'll return to my life.

The Time Of My Life

Where do I go now?
When all I've been living for is gone and I'm lonely ...
God won't you hold me just once.
Life will let you love.
Then trample the flowers in the garden that you've raised
with so much patience and hope.
God, I need your hope. You're all that will get me through these cold ugly days and I will survive when I have you.
Pass by these gloomy days. Bring back the sun's golden rays.
Some day these clouds will go by. And dry up these tears I cry.
Friends go away ...
... with nothing more to say than that things "they do change."
Once they loved you now you're strange and alone.
God, I need your hope. You're all that will get me through these cold ugly days and I will survive when I have you.
Pass by these gloomy days. Bring back the sun's golden rays.
Some day these clouds will go by. And dry up these tears I cry.
Here's to yesterday.
And all of the things I must let pass away and ...
... never will see again.

Where Do I Go Now?

It was a dusty, hot, summer day ... when I first saw her walking toward me.    She was bruised and confused; she was wearing plastic shoes; said her mother made her dress this way.   

 Her lunch-box was old and empty; it had been out of style for years.  The cool kids enjoyed making fun of it. So she learned to smile through tears.   

 And I wish you would have stayed around my friend; it got much better you know.   We were kids what did we have? All we could do was grow.    

She told her mother about a new dress; because she had to wear the same one every day. Her father shouts he's a "working man," while her mother had nothing to say.    

So she started her own lemonade stand, and she sat with the sun in her eyes. Her pencil for order was ready to go -- looking on while the neighbors walked by.  

  Christmas would come to a cold house; nothing was the gift that she got.  She struggled to smile in an old stocking cap and said "presents are not what I want."    

And I wish you would have stayed around my friend; it got much better you know.   We were kids what did we have? All we could do was grow.  

  And I still think of you and me.  Only a memory.  I wish you were here.    

It was a gray and rainy spring day, when I last saw here walking away.    She was crying with the sky -- waving goodbye and saying "this time I'm going to stay."  

  And the words "I love you daddy" are still written on his coffee mug.  And I wonder after all of this time, is there anything, anyone, could have done.   

And I wish you would have stayed around my friend; it got much better you know.   We were kids what did we have? All we could do was grow.

You & Me

I do not wish to say goodbye.
I can do a lot -- can we turn back time?
if you go, you should know …
I'm thankful for your time in my life.
Will you ever stop to remember?
The times we shared and how we cared then ...
so desperately, or so it seemed.
Was it really real? Or only how you made me feel.
Please do not leave, for I can be …
Someone else -- someone you need.
It's getting late. I'm going to wait.
And believe you'll return to my life.
