"Forever and Always"

If I could turn back time
Then would your heart
Still be mine all mine
All that I told you
And all I didn't say
And now you swear
My dreams away always

Always, always Forever and Always
Always, always Forever and Always

All you told me
And all you didn't say
And here you swear our
Dreams away always
Forever means until
The end of time
Your hand in mine
Your heart beating next to mine

Always, always Forever and Always
Always, always Forever and Always
Always, always Forever and Always

"Forever And Always" Live In Houston Texas

"K ST NW DC"

Driving down K Street
The crosstown drive
My heat it's blazing
Cause it's frezzing outside
All around me so many I see
Homeless bodies on the side of the street
Covered in blankets as people walk by

And they don't care, and they don't care
There's people out there and they really don't care
And they don't care, they don't care
Even those oh by the faith they swear
And they don't care, and they don't care
There's people out there
And they really don't care
And they don't care, they don't care

Resources pleanty all around
Tipped on the scale oh by the price they're bound
Oh those with it they're getting more
While they're steeping on the backs of the poor Denying their health and sending their children to die

And they don't care, and they don't care
There's people out there and they really don't care
And they don't care, they don't care
Even those oh by the faith they swear
And they don't care, and they don't care
There's people out there
And they really don't care
And they don't care, they don't care

Over on H they sit down to
A thousand dollar plate
Oh while the hungry stand and they wait
They even say a prayer for the poor
Just before they drop another $G on a whore
And that's your tax dollars

And they don't care, and they don't care
There's people out there
And they really don't care
And they don't care, they don't care
Even those oh by the faith they swear
And they don't care, and they don't care
There's people out there
And they really don't care
And they don't care, they don't care

"K St NW DC" Live On Park City Utah's KPCW Radio (with interviews before and after song)

All Those Times" (Video Mix)

All Those Times
You said you loved me
Was that really in your heart
All Those Those Times
You said I was the
Best you ever had
Was that really
What was on your mind

So sick and tired of playin'
These twisted games
Where yes means no
And no means yes
I don't know if I
Care anymore
All Those Times

All Those Times
You said you hate me
Was that really
What was in your heart
All Those Times
You said you wanna
Spend your life with me
Was that really
in your dreams

So sick and tired of playin'
These twisted games
Where yes means no
And no means yes
I don't know if I
Care anymore
All Those Times

"All Those Times" (Music Video Mix)

"Dawn"

I hear you say there's no light
At the end of this tunnel
Sitting here beneath the moon
And the stars in the sky
I see glimpses of hope
In your eyes
Oh as the sun's rays
Dawn accross the sky

See beauty surrounds us
Say and friends long have found us
Soon love will lift this veil
From our eyes

Whoah love heals
Oh love heals (slow down, have no fear)
Won't you come my love
Love heals
Oh, love heals (slow down, have no fear)
Won't you come my love

Now you see there's no use
In fighting for this dying thing
Who's to say we can't live
In peacful harmony
Close and far off
Brothers and Sisters
Let us see what our
Dreams are made of

Whoah love heals
Oh love heals (slow down, have no fear)
Won't you come my love
Love heals
Oh love heals (slow down, have no fear)
Won't you come
And tame this beast my love

"My Friend"

Hello My Friend it's been a long time
Still you've been on my mind
There's so much I'd like to say
Tell you the truth it makes me blue
Red you said it makes you
I tell you My Friend sometimes I feel the same

Can we be OK again
Can we be OK My Friend
Can we be OK

Can we find a way to make it through
Oh how I want to
Bring things back to the way they were
Back when they were OK

My Friend Can we be OK
My Friend

Remember the times we used to laugh
Oh what I'd do to bring them back
How can we clear the air
Despite all I said
I really do care

Can we be OK again
Can we be OK My Friend
Can we be OK

Can we find a way to make it through
Oh how I want to
Bring things back to the way they were
Back when they were OK

My Friend Can we be OK
My Friend

"Take Me Away"

Is it over or can you Take Me Away
I've been here so many times before
Oh, oh can you Take Me Away

So many times I've dreamed
Over and over and over again
If all I had was to have you near
Then there'd be nothing to fear

Oh can you Take Me Away

There's no place I'd rather be
In my fanstasies oh

Oh can you Take Me Away

So many times I've dreamed
Over and over and over again
If all I had was to have you near
Then there'd be nothing to fear

Oh can you Take Me Away oh
Oh can you Take Me Away

Take Me Away (Music Video Mix)

"I Want To Hold You"

I see you standing there
Your eyes they glow as I stare
Inside the fire's bright
It keeps ups warm through the night

I Want To Hold You
Until the moring light
And I want to love you
Until the day I die

And as the heat of our fire grows
Love collides
Like waves crashing on the shore
As I hold you tight

Far away you are tonight
Your voice on the phone yet I'm alone
If I was a bird I'd fly through the sky
To hold you in my arms tonight

I Want To Hold You
Until the moring light
And I want to love you
Until the day I die

And as the heat of our fire grows
Love collides
Like waves crashing on the shore
As I hold you tight

Still you love me as I am far away
And still I want to hold you today

"Sunflower Girl"

Sweet lady as I
Look in your eyes
Through your sparkling
Green and brown eyes
Brown like a flower
On green grass they lay
Hazel and beautiful
Like stars in the sky

Sweet lady you're
The love of my life
You stood with me
Through times of strife
Take my hand as I
Do all I can

You're my Sunflower Girl
My Sunflower Girl
Oh baby oh baby
Baby oh baby
You rock my world
You rock my world
Baby oh baby
Baby oh baby
My Sunflower Girl

And as I peel pedals of your flower and
Drink the nectar that now is ours
As the buzz fills the air

You're my Sunflower Girl
My Sunflower Girl
Oh baby oh baby
Baby oh baby
You rock my world
You rock my world
Baby oh baby
Baby oh baby
My Sunflower Girl

"Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" 

By Sting and The Police 1981



Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve as I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she doe just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
Ask her if she'll marry me
In some old fashioned way

But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Oh, every little thing

Oh, every little thing

Every little thing, every little thing 

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
