5. After The Love

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh, ahh, ooh, hey hey

[verse]
I thought that love would conquer all
But nothing could break my fall
The moment you left my sid
And now there's nothing left to say
Since you took you love away
I been yearning for you deep inside

[b sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
When I think about the the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on
Can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over
'Cause I've come to know that
It's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[verse]
If I on;y had a clue
That I'd end up losing you
I might of held on to my heart
Taking for granted you'd be mine
'Til the end of time
Has torn my world apart

[b-sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong
(where you belong)
When I think, think about the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the love you thought was yours (mine and yours)
Will I ever get over 'cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[musical interlude]

[b-sec]
I can't believe that it's over
In my arms is where you belong (where you belong)
When I think of all the love we shared
How did we go wrong
And how can I go on

[chorus]
Sometimes you can't let go
Of the the love you thought was yours, mine and yours
Will I ever get over 'cause I've come to know
That it's so hard to carry on
After the love is gone
After the love is gone

[end section]

(And after the love)
After the love is gone
Life must go on
[repeat 5 times w/ad lib]
After the love is gone



6. One Last Cry

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry.....

I was here
You were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

[Chorus:]
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I goota put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down, I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down...
I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...



7. Never Felt This Way

There will never come a day
you'll ever hear me say
that I want and need to be without you.
I want to give my all.
Baby, just hold me.
Simply control me.
'Cuz your arms, they keep away the lonelies.
[chorus]
When I look into your eyes
then I relize
that all I need is you in my life.
All I need is you in my life.
'Cuz I've never felt this way about lovin'.
Never felt so good.
Never felt this way about lovin'
It feels so good.
How it takes my breath,
starts a pounding in my chest,
makes me weak, when I think about you.
Makes me wanna give my all,
Life wouldn't mean a thing.
Not a happy song to sing,
just emptiness if I had to live without you.
[repeat chorus]
'Cuz I've never felt this way about lovin', darlin'
Never felt so good.
Never felt this way about lovin'
It feels so good. woo!



10. Is The Feeling Gone

Is the feeling gone, my love
Is it not as strong to you and I
Are we still in love
Has the fire died my sweet
Don't I sweep you off your feet anymore
Tell me if I'm right
This is killing me baby
It makes me wanna cry
The message you're sending me, baby
Tears me up inside, tell me where
Where are all the butterflies
Do they no longer move inside
Of you, my love
Are they dead and gone
Have they flown away, my sweet
Or am I buried somewhere deep
inside of you, my love
Tell me where I am
If I've done something wrong, lady
What's the nature of my crime
Don't keep me hanging on, baby
This is the place and time

[jazz interlude]

Is the feeling gone, my love
Where did all this doubt come from
In me, my love
Have we grown apart
Is it cold right here in my arms
Or have you found another's heart
To keep you warm
Is the feeling gone, my love
Is the feeling gone
Tell me if I'm wrong



12. Oh Lord

Can you hear me
I'm calling your name oh Lord
I can't go on this way
Will I make it another day

Oh Lord, was I made just to beg and crawl
Who will catch me whenever I fall
Does it really matter at all
I've been waiting here for you
To answer my call

Can you see me
I'm down on my knees oh Lord
I'm lost and I'm so all alone
Does your world have a heart of stone

Oh Lord, was i destined to be what I've been
Never a thick and a barely a thin
Where do I fit in
I've been waiting her for you to answer my call

You say it won't be long
But I got to keep holding on
To this world just so cold
So cold, so cold, so cold
Oh Lord, am I destined to be what I've been



13. My Prayer

I have been so far away
Counting the times until today
So long I have wanted a chance
When I could spend some time with you
Just with you

You are growing so very fast
And I know I'm always the very last
To help you with a problem
To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down
Fall down

But when I'm gone
I need you here to carry on
My son, I know you will be strong
Like a burning flame, you're my claim
That's why you've got my name
And just to show
Come what may I love you so
And there will come a day
When all that's mine is yours
To take good care of you and yours, I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh Lord, this is my prayer
