WHITE VELVET
She was just a silhouette,
Illusion in the mist, and yet,
When I reached out and touched her face,
She felt so soft and pure
Felt so soft and pure - just like white velvet
I touched her once, then she was gone,
The memory of that touch lives on,
Like fingers tingling in my brain,
It's driving me insane -
Driving me insane, it is - white velvet,
Seasons come and seasons go,
Time's illusions space, I know,
Just what is truth, I do not know,
Yeah, what is truth, I do not know
She is in a place somewhere
Of mystic time and scented air - White velvet
Reach out and I try to grasp
The meaning of a hope that's past
To understand and then let go
I really gotta' know
Really gotta' know if she was real
Just one more time, one moment more
Show me she was real
Let me feel - velvet on silk
Satin on lace - touch her face
Just one more time, one moment more
Let me see her smile
Let me know if it was true
Let me say - I love you
Smoke another cigarette
To remember, then forget
I touched her once, then she was gone
The feelings linger on
Velvet feelings tender to the touch - white velvet.

HOLD
ME NOW ('TILL I DIE)
Come and kiss me one more time,
You know I must be leaving,
I love you so, I know,
For you and me it's over,
I must go.
No regrets now,
My breaking heart I will deny,
And so, good-bye,
I will love you 'till I die.
Hold me now,
Let it last forever more,
And then, good-bye,
I will love you 'till I die.
Hold me now,
Let your lips linger on mine,
Why must I go,
I don't want to know,
I love you so, I love you so.
Hold me now,
Let your lips linger on mine,
And then, good-bye,
I will love you 'till I die.

OVER
YOU
Over you - when will I be over you,
You say that I won't be blue - when I'm over you
Over me - a shadow came over me,
The shadow came suddenly,
When you said goodbye - when you said goodbye
And so it starts - the anguish of losing you,
Anger at God knows who - no one is to blame,
All in vain - nothing will be the same,
When I'm over you - when I'm over you.
Over now - you say it's all over now,
You say I'll get by somehow,
When I'm over you - when I'm over you

FOR
YOU
My endless dreaming might never come true
Still I just dream - for you
And that your wishes should all be fulfilled
That's in my dream - for you
Say, don't you know, that however the wind blows
All of my love - for you
A thing that's old and a thing that is new
Silver and gold - for you
A thing that's borrowed and something that's blue
These I would wish - for you
Say, don't you know, that however the wind blows
All of my love - for you
Say, don't you know, that however the tide flows
All of my love - for you
For you - love only for you - dreaming in silence
For you - love only for you - time in suspension
The best of health and all happiness too
They're in my dream - for you
And above all I wish for you love
Endless true love - for you
Say, don't you know, that however the wind blows
All of my love - for you
Say, don't you know, that however the tide flows
All of my love - for you

ASHLEY'S
GAME
Ashley, - she's lonely,
She plays Daddy, come home, she's lonely.
She calls out your name,
She says it's a game, It all ends the same, she's lonely.
Jason, - you won't know him,
He's changed, he's so quiet, you won't know him.
His friends used to call,
Ask him out to play ball,
Now they don't call at all, you won't know him.
Ashley's six, Jason's ten, and I think back to when
They would laugh as they'd climb on your knee.
Then your friend came along and my whole world went
wrong,
She took your love and you from me,
Why should that be?
OK now, I'm OK now,
I take one day at a time,
I'm OK now.
At first I used pray, you would come home some day,
But now I just play Ashley's game,
And my thoughts sometimes stray to much happier days
When I thought you loved only me,
But then she came along and my whole world went wrong,
She took your love and you from me,
Why should that be?
OK now, I'm OK now,
I take one day at a time, I'm OK now.
At first I used pray, you would come home some day,
But now I just play Ashley's game,

THE WAY YOU TOUCH MY HAND
Feel it now - feel this love surround us
Hear it now - a thousand choirs around us
All is still, time suspends when you are near
Why do I feel - this love so real?
Is it the way you touch my hand?
Bustling crowds - the subway rush has started
Take my hand - be sure we won't be parted
And I receive - wondrous signals that you send
Again I feel - this love so real
Love's in the way you touch my hand
And heaven knows what wonders you bestow
In your hands, paradise is here and now
Close to me - your perfume fills my senses
In you eyes - this loving spell commences
Happiness-is our fingers intertwined
Again I feel - this love so real
Love's in the way you touch my hand
White
Velvet
SOMETIMES
Sometimes - you hold on - so tight I can't breath,
And then you've a need to be
cherished, and cradled - so soft in my arms -
Releasing your charms like a baby,
And sometimes - it's scary
This feeling that wells up inside me
And sometimes, yeah, sometimes
I feel I could just die for you.
Sometimes - I wake up - you're there by my side,
I fill up with pride As I watch you, and hear you,
Breathe out and breathe in,
your breath wipes my skin
And I try to - hold on to - each moment
And feelings that well up inside me
And sometimes, yeah sometimes
I feel I could just die for you.
And sometimes love feels like exploding
and sweeping us out of control,
and sometimes like waves washing over the sand
you just take my hand and it's like heaven planned,
But then sometimes, I've noticed
A tear in your eye and a far away smile
And I wonder - if ever - it should come to pass
Forevers won't last,
So I try to - hold on to - each moment
And feelings that well up inside me
And sometimes, yeah sometimes
I feel I could just die for you.

NOT LIKE ME
She, she doesn't love you, not like I do, She doesn't
love you.
She doesn't need you, not like I do, She doesn't need
you,
No, not like me, No, not like me, No' not like me.
She'll just flatter a while, use her beguile, her
charms and her smile.
Then, with you at her feet, her conquest complete,
She'll say goodbye, goodbye
She can't make you happy, won't care about you, No,
not like I do,
She doesn't love you, she doesn't need you, won't
want to hold you,
No, not like me, No, not like me, No' not like me.
She will use all her charms, take you in her arms,
then cast you aside.
Then, with you at her feet, her conquest complete,
She'll say goodbye, goodbye
She can't make you happy, won't care about you, No,
not like I do,
She, she doesn't love you, doesn't need you, won't
want to hold you,
No,
not like me, No, not like me, No' not like me..

MAYBE
Maybe if I wrote it in a song
Maybe it won't hurt too long
Maybe when I reach the end,
My heart will mend - Maybe
Maybe when I can't recall her smile
Maybe in a little while
Time may swallow love's sweet-bitter pill
Heartaches won't kill - Maybe
Listening to heartbeats
Trading in dreams
Certainties in self deceit
Hoping tomorrow's will fill yesterdays
Turning back clocks in my sleep
Maybe I may never love again
Maybe I will always yearn
Maybe to-morrow's dawn
Will be withdrawn - Maybe

FIRST LOVE
First love -First love - First love - First love
My mamma told me this could happen
My mamma said to be calm
She never told me it would feel like this
Hold me close in your arms
I want to feel you near me
I want to feel you tease me
Hold me close and kiss me
Your mamma told you this could happen
Your mamma said to be calm
She never told you it would feel like this
Hold me close in your arms
Say it's true - I want to hear you say it's true
Say you do - I want to hear you say you do
Have I told you you're my first love?
I'm a slave to your charm
You never told me it would feel like this
Hold me close in your arms

Velvet
