RESTLESS HEART (PETER CETERA)
I donīt wanna lose you, I donīt want you walking away,
weīre so good together, tell me itīs forever,
īcause I want you to stay.
Iīll be damned if Iīm living without you,
and as long as I live, you will know
I just wanna build my world around you.
Donīt want you to go, donīt leave me here with my restless heart,
the one you filled with emotion, baby, right from the start,
īcause the hardest part is being alone...
...Tell me where you want me, anytime, I donīt care,
tell me when you need me īcause, baby, when you need me,
I will be right there. I donīt wanna build a wall around you...

EVEN A FOOL CAN SEE (PETER CETERA)
One big happy family, together, the rest of our lives.
As far as our friends were concerned, everything seemed right,
but thatīs when she told me, she said me it was time to move on.
Just something that she kept inside,
that told me the thrill was gone.
And now I canīt believe...itīs over.
Suddenly itīs plain to see, sheīs leaving me
and even a fool can see thereīs nothing left between us.
I knew all along something was wrong, but I did my best to deny it.
And now I canīt go home, she wants to be alone so
tell anyone who misses me, that Iīm alright...
...There were times we had nothing,
and somehow we laughed through it all.
There are moments Iīll never forget,
and some I wouldnīt care to recall. And still...
...Sheīs doesnīt need me...
...Nothing more to talk about, itīs over when itīs over.
In the end, you both stop trying...itīs oh! so sad,
and you are crying...
...Wonīt ya tell me that Iīm alright?
Even a fool like me...

WILD WAYS (PETER CETERA)
You and me, we were the last of the line.
Young and free, we were two of a kind.
We ran the streets together, the night would last forever
Oh! do you remember when? Whatever happened to our wild ways.
The hungry beat of our younger days,
we swore weīd never let them get away.
But so long to our wild ways...
...Driving to the ocean at night, running free,
trying to stay ahead of the light.
The road ran through the morning,
time passed without a warning sign.
Oh! we were the reckless kind...
...Baby, we could be free once again,
Iīll take you away from this town,
you know I wonīt let you down...

WORLD FALLING DOWN (PETER CETERA)
I never thought life would be easy.
Take it from me: itīs not easy when youīre living on your own.
And now I face it
-and even now I take it
One day at a time
-one step at a time
Then I try to rise each time I fall,
try to find a way of getting through it all.
I used to believe in you, now, I need someone else to turn to.
Any though itīs only a matter of time
that when you lose the magic,
suddenly, your world comes falling down all around you,
and though it seems so tragic, even when thereīs no one else around.
You hear the sound of another world falling down,
leaving your memories behind me, hoping that nothing reminds me,
praying that I can forget and even now I take it,
one step at a time, and now I face the future eye to eye,
I know it wonīt be easy, but Iīll get by...

MAN IN ME (PETER CETERA)
Thereīs a man in me whoīs lost his way,
and he searches for his pride.
Heīs confused by who heīs told to be,
īcause he feels the beast inside.
He is troubled by the changing times,
and he fears his dreams have died...
...thatīs waited, hoping to be liberated...
...who I wanna save, revive his dignity, free from his cage,
and release the man in me who cries for the day.
He will be let out, and show us the way.
I believe...I have lived inside my motherīs eyes,
I have felt my fatherīs heart, I am torn between the dark and light.
But I wonīt be torn apart, īcause...whoīs unafraid,
who only now can feel his rage, heīs been taught to hide it,
but he can no longer fight it...
...Here we are, I didnīt think weīd get this far.
We were overdue, when itīs time to understand the man,
then I can love the woman in you...

WHEN THEREīS NO TOMORROW (PETER CETERA)
Didnīt want to face a long hot summer...
...to spend another lonely night...
...stay until I met you.
You could tell that we were made for each other,
something in the air, and the time was right.
Came into my life, oh, I canīt forget you,
I donīt want to leave tomorrow.
Yes, I said it all inside of a letter
that I put in your hand when we walked in the sand.
Donīt you understand? I donīt want to go where thereīs no tomorrow,
you go your way, Iīll go mine,
each one missing what they left behind...
...Help me try to make a dream come true...
...if I canīt be with you,
wouldnīt ever change a thing for a minute,
seems the waterīs always deeper when youīre in it,
thatīs the way it goes, not the way I planned it...
...without you...go if you wonīt follow.
Told you once, tell you once, again,
I donīt want this summer to ever end, gonna be there when I can...

THE LAST PLACE GOD MADE (PETER CETERA)
Iīve seen the best of times...the worst of times,
ībeen around and Iīve taken my chances,
But I could never be tied down.
Too many questions, not enough answers, then I laid eyes on you,
I knew right there and then
this would be more than a passing encounter.
My fate is bound to yours, Iīve found a cause right here,
and if this is the last place God made
and yours is the last face I see,
just feeling close to you, thatīs good enough for me.
Weīve seen the best of times...
...Been through hell and high water together,
Diamond bright and tear stained memīries.
These are the times Iīll remember forever,
if you believe in me, like I believe in you,
without a care for the "why" or the "wherefore",
I will be there for you and youīll be there for me...
...Itīs good enough for me...
...You know, itīs the only place I want to be...

DIP YOUR WINGS (PETER CETERA)
If you see me coming up an open road
with an empty glass and a single rose,
take a turn towards the shifting light,
there youīll see my shadow lost in the night.
Endless flight has no directions, now,
to a cowardīs kiss from a heroīs vow.
If I could find the words, Iīd pick up the phone.
If I was half a man, I wouldnīt sleep alone.
Send me no more angels on a restless wind,
all I ever wanted were the simple things.
If a love like ours means anything,
show me a sign, honey, dip your wings.
Oh! you shook your head like a wild horse,
beneath the southern cross in the frozen North.
Oh! when our bodies touched on that burning beach,
I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach...
...Time just crawls, here, behind my eyes.
If the scar heals, can our love survive?
Lifeīs only purpose seems so distant, now.
If thereīs a chance at all, wonīt you show me how...?

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE? (PETER CETERA)
In the morning light, half awake and half asleep,
have you ever laid there thinking "Was it all a dream?"?
But you reach out, and sheīs there, every moment, everywhere.
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever felt how far a heart can fall?
Have you ever stayed up waiting for a telephone call,
just to hear her say: "hello?!", īcause you miss each other so...?
Have there been times to laugh, and times you really want to cry,
finding reasons to believe her cause youīd die a little if she lied?
And when in times of doubt, have you ever tried to work it out
but still she leaves you wondering, what itīs all about?
And when sheīs far away, have you ever felt the need to stray,
and tried and then discovered it just doesnīt pay?
īCause with her, you can be true, and with her, you can be you...
...And when the night comes down, can you call your house a "home"?
Do you dream youīre still together and wake up alone...?
...The way that Iīm in love...?
