Stay For A While

Long time since I've seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was I,
Young and tender.

Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.

Stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed we'd never forget.
Now it's hazy.

Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.

Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Stay....

(Please stay.)

Stay, stay, stay....

One, two, one, two.

Stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.

Stay for awhile.
Oh, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Won't you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

(The way it used to be.  Be.......
 The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh.  Ooooooooooooooh.
 Now, now, now, now....  Hoohhhhhh....)


Love Can Do

Who can say
Why she turned and walked away.
I can't see,
But she's gone away.
Sometimes love
Means we have to stand and fight.
Everybody runs,
Everybody hides,
No, this ain't the movies,
Now it's flesh and blood,
And this thing I'm sure of,

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back,
Like only love can do.

Love can do
Things you never thought it could,
Mend a hurt so bad,
Make you feel so good.
Love's for fools
Wise enough to take a chance;
Hear the music girl,
Let me see you dance.
No, this ain't the movies,
Now it's give and take,
And it's your heart at stake.

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

No....

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back,
Like only love can do.

(Get outta my yard.)

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Yeah, yeah,
Looking for the love you're sure will last.

Why do you have to say it?
Love has gone away;
It's not...like that.
Love's not like that.

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back,
Like only love can do.

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

(No, no, not like that.)  No!

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back!

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

No?  No!

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back, (Owwww!)
Coming back to stay!

(Oooooooooooooooh-oooooooooh-ooooooooooooooooh!)


Ageless Medley

Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble.
Listen too long, you'll eventually die.

Too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
And it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Are you puzzled by the way that you're behaving?
You wonder why you do the things you do?
Are you troubled by your lack of resistance?
It feels like something's got a hold on you.

Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble.
If you listen too long, you'll eventually die.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age, You're still the same,
By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
I will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

I'm gonna fly.
No one knows where,
But I'm gonna fly.
I'm lighter than air.

And I'm gonna fly.
No one knows where,
But I'm gonna fly,
And soar through the air.

'Cause I have felt for the first time,
I can be myself,
No more faces to hide behind,
Just a smile,
And a dream that's mine.
Even if I am
The only one,
Who wants to fly....

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,

She's got her father's eyes.
Her father's eyes.
Her father's eyes, ya know.
Just like my father's eyes....  (Sing, sing, sing!)

(Sing, sing, sing!)
(Sing, sing, sing!)

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah, 
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya,
Just to sing, sing, sing....

Come on, sii-hii-yiing!
You know you really gotta sii-hii-yiing!
Come on, sii-hii-yiing!  (Sing, sing, sing!)

I have decided,
I'm gonna live like I believer,
Turn my back on the deceiver.
I'm gonna live what I believe.
I have decided,
Being good is just a fable,
I just can't 'cause I'm not able.
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah, 
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya,
Just to sing, sing, sing.

Come on, sii-hii-yiing,
We've all gotta sii-hii-yiiiiiing!
Come on, sing, sing, sing!
