Stay The Night

Peter Cetera/David Foster

I don't want you to misunderstand me
I just wanna say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time

I want you to know one thing's for certain
I surely love your company
And I won't take no if that's your answer
At least that's my philosophy

Chorus:
Stay the night
There's room enough here for two
Stay the night
I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night
Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, nothing is in the way

Have some friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do

Chorus

Just to have you near me
Here by my side
Just to have you near me
And when I get next to your body
Just to have you near me
I wanna tell you something, make it perfectly clear
We're gonna have a very good time

Chorus

We Can Stop The Hurtin'

Robert Lamm/Bill Champlin/D. Neal

What has happened to our town
There's people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, they'll lose the fight

Hadn't we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldn't we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved

Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
We could stop the hurtin' for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin'

Families livin' in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride won't pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills

Hadn't we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldn't we try to find solutions with our minds
Haven't you had it knowing nothing's getting solved
Maybe we'd better, better get involved

Chorus

Hard Habit To Break

S. Kipner/J. Parker

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what ya got until it's gone
And I found out just a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it was all wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Chorus:
Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to
Living without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to ya babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years
I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
But deep in the night it's an endless flight
I can't get ya out of my mind

Chorus

2nd Chorus:
Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to
Being without you
Is all a big mistake
Instead of getting any easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break

Only You

James Pankow/David Foster

Hold me forever
Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear
Love's sweet surrender
Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears

Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together

Chorus:
Only you
You've got control
Only you
You've got the key to my heart
Only you
You've got control
Need your love, take me forever

Sad empty faces
Faded away when I fell in love with you
True love erases
Fear and the doubt not knowing we'd see things through

So in love, unaware of time
In a world of illusion
We fell in love until the end of time
True love, forever

Chorus

Lookin' back down the road of love
We can still feel the heartache
Pain and joy of an unrelenting love
Hold us together

Chorus

Remember The Feeling

Peter Cetera/Bill Champlin

Shadows were hiding what I couldn't see
Out in the dark - she was calling to me
Calling to me with a voice I'd never forget

She was a vision I couldn't believe
I held her close wo that she wouldn't leave
Suddenly hopeless - hopelessly falling in love

Chorus:
I remember the feeling
I remember the way
She came and wrapped her arms around me
Told me that she cared
Said she'd always be there

Taking me places that I've never been
She had the beauty that comes from within
Was I just dreaming was it too good to be true

I was a man all alone in the night
She came along and she showed me the light
I was confused then she told me the way
I was alone and I begged her to stay

She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke she was gone

Chorus

She was alive I was caught by the fire
She brought emotions that filled my desire
I should have noticed that something was wrong
When I awoke, I could see that she was gone

Along Comes A Woman

Peter Cetera/Mark Goldenberg

There is a time when a man needs somebody to talk to
Someone to talk to, somebody who'll always be there

All alone, nothin' seemed to matter
So alone, doesn't get much better
Can't explain somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

There was a time when you needed someone to hold onto
Someone to hold you, somebody who's always sincere

All alone, suddenly you see her
So alone, you know you're gonna need her
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

Chorus:
Then along comes a woman
There's a change in the way that you're feeling tonight
Then along comes a woman
And you know that it's right

There was a time when you needed someone to count on
You needed someone to count on, somebody to care

Now she's here, nothin' seems to matter
She's so near, everything is better
Can't explain, somethin' that you're feelin'
For the very first time

Chorus

You're The Inspiration

Peter Cetera/David Foster

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul

Chorus:
You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more than I need you

And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time

You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul

Chorus

Please Hold On

David Foster/Bill Champlin/L. Richie

Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth tonight
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine

I've heard the same old story
So many times
For every lie you've told me
I'd be a righ man if I had a dime

Why do you take me
Why do you rake me
Over your red hot coals
Why do you scold me
After you hold me
Why do you turn so cold

The lad's constant cruisin'
Expains the tears
The lonely path she's choosin'
If I didn't love her would I still be here

Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind

Do you love me
Do you need me
Tell me the truth this time
Do you love me
Do you need me
Can I still call you mine

Soft lights and quiet music
Forgets your name
Some people try to use it
But loneliness chooses the rules to the game

Please hold on, stay with me
Tell me what you have in mind
Please hold on, stay with me
Baby, don't you leave me behind
Please hold on, stay with me
Loneliness will leave you blind
Please hold on, stay with me
Fall in love with me this time

Prima Donna

Peter Cetera/Mark Goldenberg

You've got the look - they'll never forget
You wanna be noticed - but they haven't noticed yet

When the time is right - a star on your door
Taking you places that you've never been before
Where did you go?

Go to sleep tonight and dream about it till the morning
Make a scene tonight - read about it in the morning
Appearing for the very first time - on the screen tonight
And when you wanna - they treat you like a Primma Donna

You're a movie queen - familiar face
Prettiest woman in the whole of the human race

You're gonna be famous - you wanna go far
(Your) name up in lights - everybody knows who you are
On with the show

(How) will it feel being number one
Hard to imagine but I can't blame you for tryin'
How will it feel havin' so much fun
Hard to imagine but it's so electrifying

Once In A Lifetime

James Pankow

When I saw your face
I could feel my heartbeat begin to race
In the still of the night
It was love at first sight

Not too long ago
I was on my own
Never would have known
You'd come into my life
Now, you're the love of my life

Chorus:
Once in a lifetime
Maybe the last time
Just the right time to fall in love
Once in a lifetime
For such a long time
I've been waiting for you

You were there for me
It was there for you
We were meant to be
Now we're fallin' in love
Finally fallin' in love

Chorus
