PEACE OF MIND  (PETER CETERA)	
	Every time I have it made, I let it rain on my parade,
	I need a star that doesn´t fade.
	When I open my eyes, everything is clear to see,
	you´ve given me a destiny.
	I know there´s something left for me and I found it this time.
	I don´t want it all, I just want a little bit,
	and I´ll never stop ´til I get to it.
	Being with a woman like you is all I ever wanted to do,
	give me something I can hold on to, then I´ll have it all.
	Find a little place in the sun,
	Won´t you tell me I´m the chosen one?
	Say you need me when the day is done,
	then I´ll have enough to get me through my life...
	...I never will regret it ´cause I´m having the time of my life,
	I can fly on the wings of our love, here, in the night.
	Oh! it hurts if I let it, but it´s something I´d rather forget,
	now, the past isn´t holding me down.
	Oh! don´t you know I´ve learned to let it go...?

HEAVEN HELP THIS LONELY MAN  (PETER CETERA)
	Not too long ago, when she was mine,
	I thought we would be together ´til the end of time,
	that´s the way it goes when you´re in love.
	Since she´s gone, there´s no one else I´m thinking of.
	I need her to stay with me, lay me down and pray for me.
	Now, I know just where I stand, Heaven help this lonely man.
	There will never be anyone else...another one to take her place.
	Might as well give up, I can´t go on,
	never find another one to fill this empty space...
	...When she came to me, she opened my eyes.
	Suddenly, life was worth living, now, it´s over for me, I realize,
	nothing´s the same since she´s gone and...

SAVE ME  (PETER CETERA)
	Man all alone, caught in raging water,
	man overboard, caught in a terrible storm.
	Throw me the rope, pull me out of trouble,
	I need someone...to keep me warm.
	Why don´t you save me? I´m burning with desire.
	Why won´t you save me? Don´t leave me all alone!
	And it´s all right.
	Wrap me up, baby, won´t you take me home?
	Forty below, high up a lonely mountain,
	slipping down, baby, I´m sinking fast...
	...out of this trouble, S.O.S. don´t think I´m gonna last...
	...Come on, hold me tight...
	...Don´t you know we´re gonna have fun tonight...?

HOLDING OUT  (PETER CETERA)
	There´s nothing outside my window but the sound of the pouring rain.
	It oughta be breaking my heart, but I feel no pain.
	Trying to pick up the station that´ll carry me through this night,
	got a fire to keep me warm ´til I got you in my arms.
	Holding out, dug in deep, I got an island that I´m gonna keep,
	close my eyes but I know I won´t sleep...Oh, yeah!
	I know love won´t forget me, I gotta keep...
	...Girl, I´ve been dreaming about you
	for the better part of my life.
	At least, I can make it without you one more night.
	I´m not afraid of the thunder, I won´t run away from the storm,
	let the stars fall down and break, I don´t care how long it takes...
	...There´s no other love in the world, I could want any more...

BODY LANGUAGE -THERE IN THE DARK-  (PETER CETERA)
	Moment by moment, day after day, trying your best to forget,
	it´s all behind you, it´s part of the past,
	you´ve got no time for regrets.
	Time to start over with somebody new,
	you´ve got nothing more to lose.
	Out for the evening, dressed for the kill,
	leaving your troubles behind.
	Dangerous places...times, leave with the first one you find.
	Live for the moment, who cares if it´s right?
	Who needs tomorrow? you´ve got tonight.
	There, in the dark, under covers of love,
	body language is taking you somewhere you shouldn´t go.
	First name, the last thing that you need to know.
	In the morning, you´re out on the street, now´s not the...
	...Some things are done for the thrill of it all...
	...you´ll never forget...
	...Who needs tomorrow when you´ve got tonight...?

YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME  (PETER CETERA)
	You say: "not now, it´s too late",
	"Now´s not the time, it can wait"
	You never listen to me, some things are hard to forget.
	It´s time to do something you might regret...
	...I think that you must be blind,
	haven´t you noticed that I´m not around wasting your precious time?
	All that I want is knowing that someone will notice me,
	I can´t go on knowing that you never bother to...
	...Losing the will to survive,
	you never act like you know I´m alive...
	...All that I need is knowing that someone remembers me...

SCHEHERAZADE  (PETER CETERA)
	He was the sultan of Samarcand.
	He had a harem of dancing girls at his command.
	He owned all the eye could see.
	Something was wrong, he wasn´t happy,
	and then it happened much to his surprise.
	The loveliest woman he´d ever seen.
	He asked her name and she replied: "Scheherazade".
	She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier.
	A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere,
	she made a date with destiny, marry the king, make him happy.
	He was enchanted on their wedding night,
	just a captive under her spell
	spending a thousand and one Arabian nights.
	All of his body tingled with delight,
	hearing the stories she loved to tell.
	She was a vision, such a lovely sight...
	...He made a promise on the morning star:
	he would change, throw away his scimitar.
	So she came to stay and that´s why the story goes
	until this very day...

ONE MORE STORY  (PETER CETERA)
	One more story, then it´s time for bed.
	One more fairy tale, then rest your weary head.
	One more kiss, I´ll turn out the lights.
	Everything´s gonna be all right.
	I´ll still be here when you wake up in the morning.
	Close your eyes, say goodnight, go to sleep, now.
	You´ve had a busy day, hold me in your dreams,
	I won´t be far away...then...
	...I can´t believe just how fast you´re growing,
	I´m gonna cry when you´re old enough to go and be on your own.
	But until that very moment...
	...You´ll still be here when I...
