This is a collection of songs that Anne and I exchange with each other. It doesn't necessarily mean it's how we feel, sometimes it's just a song that perks us up. We've been exchanging song lyrics the past few months through email, and since I've become addicted to blogging I thought of just posting it online.

Everything You Do
I love the way you smile when i look in your eyes
I love the way you laugh when i try to be funny
and now the tears roll down your face
when I say no one could ever take your place
[chorus]
Cause baby when you sleep, I watch you breathing
and baby when you dream, i dream with you
cause everywhere you are is where i wanna be, it’s true
everything you do makes me know how much i love you
The way you touch my lips right after we kiss
and softly whisper that i’m your everything
the way you pray our love won’t die
every night just before you close your eyes
[chorus]
Cause baby when you sleep, I watch you breathing
and baby when you dream, i dream with you
cause everywhere you are is where i wanna be, it’s true
everything you do makes me know how much i love you
[bridge]
I believe that some things were meant to be
as sure as there is love yours is meant for me
[chorus]
Cause baby when you sleep, I watch you breathing
and baby when you dream, i dream with you
cause everywhere you are is where i wanna be, it’s true
everything you do makes me know how much i love you
Cause baby when you sleep, (I believe) i watch you breathing
when i see you in my dreams, it’s in everything
and baby when you dream (I believe)i dream with you
(when i see you in my dreams, it’s in everything)
cause everywhere you are is where i wanna be (Oh, it’s true)
everything you do makes me know how much i love you
How Did You Know
I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile
My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine
CHORUS
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life
I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you
Repeat Chorus
High
I've tried so hard to find sweet serenity
Are you still afraid
Just close your eyes and dream
and feel it fade away
Chorus:
Time won't flow everyone knows
When the pain fades away
Dreams wont die with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high...
Yeah... yeah...yeah...
Hold your head up high
It's taken some time
And I've given up the will to change your state of mind
Try and understand
It's not so hard to see that I am just a man
(repeat chorus)
Will it ever be
I've tried so hard to find sweet serenity
Try and understand
It's not so hard to see that I am just a man
(repeat chorus)

Head Over Feet
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
Journey
Half the world is sleeping,
half the world's awake
half can hear their hearts beat
half just hear them break
I am but a traveler, in most every way
Ask me what you want...to know
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way
When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been.
I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where I'll be tomorrow,
I can only guess
Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow,
Forward always forward, I go..
What a journey it has been
and the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way
When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been...
Forward, always forward...
Onward, always up...
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
and they're bound to guide my way
When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in,
what a journey it has been...
What a journey it has been...

Thank You
album: No Angel (1999)
My tea's gone cold, i'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there,
They'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad
It's not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door,
I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me
And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

What If
I often wonder just how can it be
But everytime I think about it
Seems impossible to me
I wanna touch you, call out your name
Would you be my love, would you be my friend
Would you feel the same
What if wishes all came true
And each one had a star
That would keep it shining brightly
However near or far
What if a miracle appeared
And heaven was here for us to see
Oh what if you, were to fall in love with me
I imagine, a picture in my mind
You and me we’ll be together
Together for all time
Like in the fairytales
Where everything comes real
Would you take my hand, would you understand
Just how I feel
It’s not impossible
It’s not impossible
It happens each day
People find each other
Fall in love with one another
It happens this way
It’s not impossible
It’s not impossible
I don’t believe
If I close my eyes
If I make a wish
You’d be loving me
What if wishes all came true

Show Me Love
album: Robyn Is Here (1997)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Always been told that I've got too much pride
Too independent to have you by my side
Then my heart said all of you will see
Just won't live for someone until he lives for me
Never thought I would find love so sweet
Never thought I would meet someone like you
Well now I've found you and I tell you no lie
This love I've got for you
Could take me 'round the world
Now show me love
Show me love, show me life
Baby show me what it's all about
You're the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Don't waste this love I wanna give to you
Tell me what you got, show me what you can do
Show me love, show me everything
I know you've got potential
So baby let me in and show me love
Show me love, show me life (alright)
Baby show me what it's all about
You're the only one that I ever needed (show me love)
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Show me love, (oh, show me life)
Baby show me what it's all about (what it's all about)
You're the one that I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
Show me love baby
Show me everything you've got and show me life
Show me love baby
Show me everything and what it's all about
You're the one, the only one I ever needed
Show me love and what it's all about, alright
I'll love you

Everything will be alright
I'll give you my heart if you just give me love
Every day and every night
Show me love, (yeah)

Higher

album: Human Clay (1999), Popular Lyrics, Greatest Hits (2004)
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets?
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
C'mon let's go there
Let's ask can we stay
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher?
to a place with golden streets?
So let's go there
Let's go there
C'mon let's go there
Let's ask can we stay
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Sail up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine.
Sail up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine.
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me higher?
to a place with golden streets? (2x)

Rest In Pieces
album: Back Into Your System (2002)
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again,
Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did,
It has not healed with time...
It just shot down my spine.
You look so beautiful tonight,
Remind me how you laid us down,
And gently smiled,
Before you destroyed my life...
Would you find it in your heart,
To make this go away,
And let me rest in pieces?
(Let me rest in pieces)
Would you find it in your heart,
To make this go away,
And let me rest in pieces?
(Let me rest in pieces)
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again,
You got much closer than I thought you did,
I'm in your reach,
You held me in your hands...
But could you find it in your heart,
To make this go away,
And let me rest in pieces?
(Let me rest in pieces)
Would you find it in your heart,
To make this go away,
And let me rest in pieces?
(Let me rest in pieces)
Could you find, could you find in your heart?
Could you find, could you find in your heart?
(Let Me Rest In Pieces)

All Behind Us Now
Latest Revival: Mark Bautista
...
Hey, I'm so sorry
that it didn't work the way
that we'd always planned
Hey, I'm so sorry
that you went away
and somehow didn't understand
...
We pretended for so many years, but now
its time wash away my tears
CHORUS
CauseAnd it's all behind us now
cause we've learned to live somehow without
each other
And its easy to see, it ain't never
gonna be the same again
And its all behind us now
cause we found a way to live without
each other
And in time we'll have to see
If its ever gonna be that way again
ohh......
...
Hey, I'm so sorry
that I couldn't find the words
that might have made you stay
and hey, it's so funny
how we both can say the same thing in a
different way
...
We pretended for so many years,
but now its over baby
and so are my tears
repeat chorus
...
I was holdin' out for far too long
But now I finally found where I belong
repeat chorus to fade..

Patience

album: GN'R Lies (1988), Live Era: '1987-'1993 (1999)
(whistle)
Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You're in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now
I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love
There's one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes
To make it, We won't fake it,
I'll never break it
'cause I can't take it
...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
need some patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience
is all you need
I been walkin' the streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
Hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like
Being stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change
But baby the name
I ain't got time for the game
'cause I need you
Yeah, yeah, but I need you
Oo, I need you
Whoa, I need you
Oo, all this time

Amber
album: Greatest Hits '93-'03 (2004), From Chaos (2001)
Brainstorm,
Take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something
This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You ought to know what brings me here oh
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away...
Your voice rings like a bell anyway...
Don't give up your independence,
Unless it feels so right,
Nothing good comes easily,
Sometimes you got to fight...
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still it's fine from afar,
And you know that...
Whoa, brainstorm (brainstorm)
Take me away from the norm
Whoa (whoa), I got to tell you something
