Look Behind You

Look Behind You
since I looked into you
and you looked back at me
I’ve tried to just go on
and pretend you’re just a song.
you helped to write
since the dream I once knew
was cast aside and torn in two
every day fades to night
every word hides in the shadows
where once was light
but every once in awhile
I think of you and I smile
every once in awhile
you’re in the corner of my mind
but, in the corner of my eye
you’re not there to find
and all the while you’re away
getting on with every day
too caught up to hear me say
look behind you
and you’ll find me standing there
since I’ve turned your last page
and moved on with the days and the nights
every right is somehow wrong
every note is just a song
you helped to write
but every once in awhile
I think of you and I smile
every once in awhile
you’re in the corner of my mind
but, in the corner of my eye
you’re not there to find
and all the while you’re away
getting on with every day
too caught up to hear me say
look behind you and you’ll find me
look behind you and you’ll find me
look behind you and you’ll find me
standing there

About You, I’ve Been Thinkin’
I wonder if you wonder about me
do you think of me anymore
the clock won’t stop
another day is gone
I won’t see you anymore
but I’ve been thinkin’ about you again
wondering how you’ve been
where are you now my friend
I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day
your face never goes away
where are you now sweet lady
I see you now like you used to be
do you think of me that way
time’s so restless another year is gone
I’d love to wake to you and say
but I’ve been thinkin’ about you my friend
and I hope we never end
with you there’s no pretend
I’ll be thinkin’ about you all day
‘cause this bed is where I’ll stay
let’s don’t bother to see the light of day
but I’m not with you
and I won’t be soon
but I’ve been thinkin’ about you
yea, I’ve been thinkin’ about you
I’ve been thinkin’ about you again
wondering how you’ve been
where are you now my friend
I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day
your face never goes away
where are you now sweet lady
I’ve been thinkin’ about you
I’ve been thinkin’ about you
I’ve been thinkin’ about you

Some Other Time, Some Other Place
some other time, some other place
I’ll find someone to replace
the love I had with you
the love that we once knew
some other time
I’ll find another face
some other time, some other place
another chance, another spin
perhaps this time, I’ll win
I’ll choose the place to fall
when I run into that wall
and get back up again
perhaps to even win
another start, another spin
life tossed me up and up
I’m down again
I go up
you shook me up my love
I’m down again
I climbed so high
just to fall
down, down again
some other time, some other place
I’ll find a bond to replace,
the friend that you once were
how meaningless your words
some other time
we cannot replace
some other time, some other place
life tossed me up and up
I’m down again
I go up
you shook me up my love
I’m down again
I climbed so high
just to fall
down, down again

Never Again
I didn’t count on her for love
but now it isn’t quite the same
she’s the one I’m leaning on
she’s the one I’m leaning on
she loves me
and she’s the one I’m gonna hold
she loves me
and I’ll never be quite the same
I wanted to be free from love
and keep the world inside myself
she showed me things I need to know
she brought me joy and helped me grow
she loves me
and she’s the one I’m gonna hold
she loves me
and I’ll never be quite the same
love doesn’t come for those who hide
it only is for those who share
she wanted to be free from me
she took the heart from inside me
she loved me
and she’s the one I should’ve held
she loved me
now I’ll never be quite the same

After We Laughed
you finally came back
how long I’d waited for that
we finally kissed
after we laughed
how long I’d waited for that
all those years spent away from you
I don’t know where I’ve been
and though I say
it’s been fine
you’re all that stays on my mind
you’re reaching for me now
it comforts me somehow
we finally kissed
after we laughed
how long I’d waited for that

Rain Eyes
when I left her there
in the rain soaked air
and boarded that train
to God knows where
I was feeling pretty low
but she let me know
my tears were not alone
my fears were overblown
my faith was in her hands
only she could understand
the feelings deep inside
I could no longer hide
she cried
she cried
and she made me come alive
when we kissed goodbye
I saw the love in her eyes
I sat in a bar
and played my guitar
to a noisy crowd
that talked too loud
to hear my songs
of love gone wrong
and shattered dreams
for hours it seems
but my mind is kind
and the time unwinds
to a girl whose eyes
emphasized my life
she cried
she cried
she cried
and she made me come alive
when we kissed goodbye
I saw the love in her eyes

There’s Always Someone New
lyin’ there, the covers off your feet
I can see you’re cold
when I’m feeling so
you’re all I know
you’re all I know
but you say, you’re not the only one I love
you’re not the only one for me
call ahead if you need
you’re not the only one I need
I often claim to have no need
of anyone, just let me be
but deep inside it’s so
you’re all I know
but you say, you’re not the only one I love
you’re not the only one for me
call ahead if you need
you’re not the only one I need
one day I’ll realize
what I loved behind your eyes
too late to ever know
what it was that made it so
though I search for something new
nothing new is all I say
I’ve seen it all before
simply in a different way
now I say, you’re not the only one I love
you’re not the only one for me
call ahead if you need
there isn’t any room left next to me
you’re not the only one for me

Alone
it’s lonely out today
it’s lonely everyday
but it would be so right
if you would stay with me tonight
it’s lonely out today
I’m thinkin’ everyday
you could make the winter warm
if you could mend what you’ve torn
I’m so alone
I’m so alone
I’m so alone
I’m so alone
the mood has gone away
the memories all fade
you’re just a face I see
behind which there’s no mystery
the face I see
I’m so alone
I’m so alone
I’m so alone
I’m so alone

Leavin' It All Behind

Leavin’ It All Behind
so much seems to have changed
since I looked into your eyes
life seems so very strange
since we said our last goodbye
you, I’m hopin’ to change your mind
you’ll think of me and you’ll find
you’re leavin’ it all behind
you, when you’ve played out the grand design
your search will lead to find
what you’ve already left behind
nothing seems to make much sense
the quest for things and compliments
‘cause when you look through the pretense
only love is so intense
you, I’m hopin’ to change your mind
you’ll think of me and you’ll find
you’re leavin’ it all behind
you, when you’ve played out the grand design
your search will lead to find
what you’ve already left behind
we had found the key
it had set us free
it was meant to be
for you and me
but you,
you’re leavin’ it all behind
you’re leavin’ it all behind
you’re leavin’ it all behind
so much seems to have changed
since we said our last goodbye
you, I’m hopin’ to change your mind
you’ll think of me and you’ll find
you’re leavin’ it all behind
you, when you’ve played out the grand design
your search will lead to find
what you’ve already left behind
you, you’re leavin’ it all behind
you’re leavin’ it all behind
you’re leavin’ it all behind

Just Because

Just Because
why can love be so strong
how can love last so long
singin’ it in every song
just because
just because
in and out of reality
someone tell me why I can’t see
if you’ll please release me
just because
just because
just because I love you
even though you’ve found someone new
and even though I said I’d always be true
you left me blue
you left me here
just because
just because
just because
just because
hearing songs that seem to rhyme
counting loves to pass the time
still your name continues to chime
within my heart
just because
and I’ll ask you once again
will you tell me where she’s been
I didn’t want her as just a friend
just because
just because
just because I love you
even though you’ve found someone new
and even though I said I’d always be true
you left me blue
you left me here
just because
just because
just because
just because

Living Without
in the evening when the snow is falling
the sun is fading, you hear me calling
but answer me, you could not take the time
I reach for you and call in vain
you turn to me, but don’t know my name
I’m standing here and you don’t hear me crying
‘cause the time we spent together is through
and the words we shared together weren’t true
and the same old tears don’t mean so much to you
‘cause you’re gone and you’re living without me
the bridge is crossed, I go on trying
my life is new, but I’m still crying
you’ll never know the me I lost to you
and the sun will shine, it will not darken
life goes on, there’s no room for the past
and there’s nothing left for me to say
‘cause the time we spent together is through
and the words we shared together weren’t true
and the same old tears don’t mean so much to you
‘cause you’re gone and you’re living without me
and the singer sings a song of joy
about a silly girl and happy boy
and I remember times when love was all around
and the summer sun is warming slowly
the path we walked I now walk solely
our time is past and now I’m all alone
‘cause the time we spent together is through
and the words we shared together weren’t true
and the same old tears don’t mean so much to you
‘cause you’re gone and you’re living without me

Another Christmas Without You
I wonder if you wonder about me
do you think of me anymore
the snow won’t stop
another year has gone
I won’t see you anymore
but I’ve been thinkin’ about you again
wondering how you’ve been
another Christmas without you my friend
I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day
your face never goes away
another Christmas without my sweet lady
I see you now like you used to be
do you think of me that way
the caroler’s songs seem sad and wrong
on this melancholy Christmas day
and I’ve been thinkin’ about you again
wondering how you’ve been
another Christmas without you my friend
I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day
your face never goes away
another Christmas without my sweet lady
but I’m not with you
and I won’t be soon
but I’ve been thinkin’ about you
and I’ll be singin’ about you
on Christmas day
I’ve been thinkin’ about you again
wondering how you’ve been
another Christmas without you my friend
I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day
your face never goes away
another Christmas without my sweet lady
Merry Christmas baby
Merry Christmas my dear
Merry Christmas, maybe
I will see you next year
