She's The One

   She's so cool and calm and steady
   But she's as close as the nearest star
   But I've got time until she's ready
   I've got time,  so there you are

   When I see her my heart beats faster
   It starts beatin' like a big bass drum
   Every time that I walk past her
   Everything about her says she's the one
   She's the one

   She's like the sun dancing off the water
   She's like the first time that I fell in love
   I can't wait to say that I've got her
   And what I've waited for has finally come

   She's the one that makes me forget
   Where I've been before
   She's the one and I've no regrets
   That I've never been in love like this before

   When I see her my heart beats faster
   It starts beatin' like a big bass drum
   Every time that I walk past her
   Everything about her says she's the one
   Everything about her says she's the one


         Lonely Man Without You

   When the sun comes up
   And the moon goes down
   And the stillness of morning
   Brings us around

   Will my eyes still find you
        next to me
   Or will my day lack your company

   When the sun is gone
   And the moon is high
   And the lights of the city
   Fill your eyes

   I may promise you more
      than I'll ever own
   But say you believe me
   And we'll leave it alone

   When the world is too hard to take
   You better let my love redeem that mistake
    'cause I'm a lonely man without you
   Just a lonely man without you

   You're going to hear me on the wind
   Calling you back again
   You'll see me in the rain
   Looking for your love again


So Many Places

   Jump in my car
   Going to take you for a ride
   So you're happy where you are
   Sometimes so am I

   But that doesn't mean
   We can't get away
   Wash ourselves clean
   Our loves as stale as yesterday

   Still I love you more
   More than you know
   And there's so many places
   That love can go

   Fill up my glass
   Can't you see that I'm empty
   Do I have to ask
   Think you do things just to tempt me

   Feeling hungry and mean
   Feeling drawn to the highway
   No in-between
   Going to do things my way

   Going to take you to heaven
   Going to fly you to the moon
   Take a walk on the sun
   And we'll never leave the room
   Going to take you forever
   Going to take you for now
   But never for granted
   But I'll take you somehow
 
   Because I love you more
   More than you know
   And there's so many places
   That love can go


All That I Am

   I walk the street thinking I'll forget
   The words repeat, it's not over yet
   So I need to find her
   I need to find her and tell her how I feel
   And tell her love is real

   I turn the corner but I still feel the same
   I turn the corner but I still feel the pain
   So I need to find her
   I need to find her and tell her how I feel
   Tell her love is real

   Because I miss her with all that I am
   And I want her and all that we had
   I miss her with all that I am
   She's all I am

   I hear the city like she was calling me
   I let it get me, each sounds a memory
   Of love in the right place
   In the eyes of the right face
   There's no time to waste

   Because I miss her with all that I am
   And I want her and all that we had
   I miss her with all that I am
   She's all I am

  
She'll Say Yes

   Well she moves so easy
   And she moves just to please me
   And if you ask her one more time
   If she's mine, she'll say yes

   Well I know you want her
   And you hope your memory will haunt her
   But if you ask her one more time
   if she's mine, she'll say yes

   Now it's been to long
   I've seen them come and go
   There's a million like you
   Hiding in the shadows
   Don't waste your time
   She'll stay mine


    Over And Over
 
    Watching your eyes
    I've seen more through an empty sky
    But what I've come to know
    Is what I can't let go
  
    And it's you all over again

   I thought I was through playing your game
   But I'm back where I started
   I'm acting just the same
   I'll always be fool hearted

   I want to live in reality
   But this is too true to be good
   Heading for insanity
   Just like I knew I would

   People they tell me
   You're heading back for more
   But I guess that I don't care
   I've heard it all before

   I want to live in reality
   But this is too true to be good
   Heading for insanity
   Just like I knew I would

And Then It's Gone

   The sound of the wind through the trees
        keeps me awake
   That's all that it takes
   The sound of a train far away
   Touches something inside
        and though I have tried
   It's something I can't explain

   It's something I feel
   So simple, so real
   So tender, so warm
        and then it's gone

   Like a song that makes you remember
   A time or place you were then
   It always takes my breath away
   'cause it makes me feel like I'm right
        back there again

   The sound of the rain is all I need
   To start me dreaming again
    I fight it but then, I never win


     That's How Love Is

    If love seems to escape you
    Which I'll admit lately it has
    Please don't give up on yourself
    Though you say you already have

    That's too simple and easy
    And you say I'm someone you trust
    If you ever believe me
    Well, now's the time you must
  
    That's how love is, you fall
     And you leave yourself wide open
    That's how love is, you fall
    With a lot of crying and wishing
        and hoping

    So you really miss her
    No need to wonder why that's so
    You won't give up trying to change her mind
    But you won't hold her to you let her go

    Many hearts are kept waiting
    Many time life seems to stall
    Our hearts get caught in the places
    That we don't want our hearts at all

    When you love you take a chance
    Still you hope her heart will dance
    Even when the music is gone
    You remember when it played on


 Oh My Lady

    Can I spend the night with you?
    Can i spend the night with you?
    Oh my lady, just with you

    Can't find the time to tell you
    All that I want to say
    Can't find a sign to show me
    If I'm going the right way

    But I see by your smile
    You'll tell me everything

    Can I make love to you?
    Can I make love to you?
    Oh my lady, just with you

    And when the night is through
    And when the night is through
    Oh my lady, I'll spend the day with you


 If You Let Me

    I don't know why
    I keep this love for you inside me
    When it's always denied me

    The years go by
    All around me things are changing
    But I still rely on the chance
         you might find my love engaging

    So I go on living with a dream
        that's yet to feel the sun
    In a world where so much is left undone by me
    Why don't you try me
    I could be the one for you
    I could make your dreams come true
    If you let me

    I don't know why
    I keep this love so near me
    When you don't even hear me

    My love goes on
    I guess by now it's forever
    I thought it would be gone
        but I guess I'm not through with this endeavor


Shake You Up
© Michael Tweed 2002

    I think you're just bored
    You don't like anything
    I think you need someone
    To shake you up

    I'm gonna do it
    I'm goin' to
    I'm gonna do it
    Gonna shake you up
    Gonna shake you somewhat
    Gonna shake you up

    You hang around all day
    You don't like anyone
    I think you need something
    To shake you up

    I'm gonna do it
    I'm going to
    I'm gonna do it
    Gonna shake you up
    Gonna shake you somewhat
    Gonna shake you up
