And where it goes from there well let‘s just see If it takes goodbye to help you reach that far off star Somehow I‘ll find the way to say the words I wanna live, laugh, - Love you to the moon and back. If letting go helps you discover just how beautiful you are Better hold on tight it‘s a long, long way to go. And brings you all the good that you deserve Now won‘t it feel fine, - Sit back and let‘s enjoy the ride I‘m glad I paid a part, even if it breaks my heart ‘Cause when I love you to the moon and back, I wanna take it slow. Silence like the sunlight fill this room Strange how I‘m already missing you Honey tonight ain’t gonna have any worries But one more kiss won‘t be enough Just you ‘n me – I don’t wanna hurry To make you feel this kind of love Makin’ the most of the way we make love come alive I’ll get the wine and start the radio playing’ If it takes goodbye to help you reach that far off star Your hand in mine to the music we‘re swayin’ Somehow I‘ll find the way to say the words Slowing it down tonight let’s take our time. If letting go helps you discover just how beautiful you are And brings you all the good that you deserve I wanna live, laugh... I‘m glad I paid a part, even if it breaks my heart People rush around runnin into eachother And I‘d do anything for you They don‘t seem to know what we‘ve both discovered Anything you need me to That we don‘t want to live our lives in overdrive Just to make you happy I‘d do anything for you I wanna live, laugh, - Love you to the moon and back. Better hold on tight it‘s a long, long way to go. If it takes goodbye to help you reach that far off star Now won‘t it feel fine, - Sit back and let‘s enjoy the ride Somehow I‘ll find the way to say the words ‘Cause when I love you to the moon and back, If letting go helps you discover just how beautiful you are Yeah, when I love you to the moon and back, And brings you all the good that you deserve When I love you to the moon and back, we‘ll take it nice I‘m glad I paid a part, even if it breaks my heart and slow Even if it breaks my heart Come on and love me to the moon and back, Oh, Oh, Oh I love you to the moon and back 05 AFTER THE RAIN 06 WALK ON Rain was pourin’ down, the night he broke the news Hurt today - gone tomorrow Thunder crashed around him, when he told me we were through I have loved and learned - there‘s something I have missed Heartless as a bitter wind he blew away for good I‘m takin‘ back my heart - time to lead and not follow I struggled in that storm for months until I understood ‚Yeah‘ I‘m breaking out Tears are just like rain, Ain‘t gonna be no side-show When they finish falling, nothing’s quite the same. Look at me Watch the way that love goes, baby… After the rain, the storm’s a memory The sky is clear, the air is fresh Walk on - on my way to something better It’s time to plant a seed Walk on - that‘s how it‘s gotta be After the rain, life begins a new Be strong - strong enough - come whatever It’s time to grow, time to show The only way I‘m gonna get to me The world what I can do Is walk on, walk on After the rain Gotta move - but, I ain‘t running For years my life revolved around him, constant as the sun I can take the truth - I can face the night alone, Oh But never changing leads to words unsaid and dreams undone I ain‘t lookin‘ back – Lord I wanna see what‘s coming Now I’m free to be the me he never really knew ‘Cause, when I‘m talkin‘ love Do the things I didn’t and I always wanted to I ain‘t never gonna fake it Funny how it goes It‘s my life The rain that drowns your dreams also makes them grow And I don‘t want to waste it, yeah, baby… After the rain, the storm’s a memory... Walk on - on my way... Sometimes truth is hard to see ‚Yeah‘ I‘m breaking out I thank the lord for showin’ me, yeah Ain‘t gonna be no side-show Look at me After the rain, the storm’s a memory... Watch the way that love goes, baby Oh, After the rain Walk on - on my way to something better Walk on - that‘s how it‘s gotta be Be strong - strong enough - come whatever The only way I‘m gonna get to me I‘ll take a leap of faith, ‚cause I believe Walk on, baby walk on, hey yeah, baby walk on 07 ONE STEP CLOSER 08 HE IS I‘ve seen my heart of darkness I don‘t know quite where to begin Let‘s just say I crossed over that line It’s kind of like describing red Held hands with the hopeless The thing his smile does in my heart In too deep on that ride went around one more time The same thing light does in the dark When you‘re standing on the edge you don‘t look down The kind of thing that words just miss Till you‘re ready and willing to fly He is.
