The Nightlight

( 1st verse )
Kids are over to their Grandma's house
Time for you and me to settle down...for the night

Let's explore the love we use to share
Let me show you just how much I care... 'bout you and I

Chorus
Turn on the nightlight...
Its only gonna be - you and me tonight
Turn on the nightlight...
Its only gonna be - you and me

Turn it on... turn it on...

( 2nd verse )
I can hardly wait to feel your touch
(I) live to see that flame of burning love... in your eyes

This love of ours will never lose its soul
What we share can never cease to grow... with time

Chorus
Turn on the nightlight...
It's only gonna be - you and me tonight
Turn on the nightlight...
Its only gonna be - you and me

Turn on the nightlight...
Its only gonna be - you and me tonight
Turn on the nightlight...
Love is gonna be - you and me

Turn it on... turn it on...

(Solo... Chorus Out...)

Gotta Be a Way

( 1st verse )
You can't stop over cause that's what you want to do
Gotta be a way to get on with your life
You made your decision - now you've got to live by your rules
here tonight

In a moment of weakness you want to reach out for me
(But) Now I'm giving up my love to someone else
How we had - what we had - when we had is another place in time
Baby you brought this - on yourself

Chorus
Gotta be a way to get through to you
Gotta be a way to help you - to - get back to your life
Gotta be a way to get through to you
You can't just stop by

Gotta be a way to get through to you
Gotta be a way to help you - to - get on with your life
Gotta be a way to get through to you
Here tonight

B sect.
Did you think you could come back - in the middle of a Hurricane
Trying to offer up a quick fix - when I never had you to gain
What the hell were you thinking - I was gonna do with my time
You better find yourself a Doctor - to help you recover your... mind

( 2nd verse )
In a moment of weakness you want to reach out for me
(But) Now I'm giving up my love to someone else
How we had - what we had - when we had is another place in time
Baby you brought this - on yourself

(Chorus, Solo, Chorus Out)

Take Me Through

( 1st verse )
You are for me... all that I could ever want or need...
in a time and place where I had given up just about everything
You cured my doubt... every time your lips touched my mouth
I could feel the love flow from you deep into my veins...

B sect.
Caught up in a mindless kind of bliss...
The sweetness in the flavor of your kiss
No one else could dare to do me this...
like you do... baby

There will never be a better time...
Only you can set this frame of mind
Giving up a love that grows inside...
with every breath I take...

Chorus
You teach me all I need to know
You give the love that helps me grow
My angel standing in the light...
Take me through your love tonight

You are the air I choose to breathe
You are the heart and soul of me...
I give you all of me tonight...
Take me through your love...

( 2nd verse )
How could this be... after living such disbelief
God would call an angel like you... to step into my heart...
All that you do... brings an understanding to the truth
Only in a love heaven proofed... could I get this far...

(B sect., Double Chorus, Solo, Chorus Out)

About the Real

( 1st verse )
You live inside a frame of fantasy
Your love held in contempt - except when for yourself
Few are the days you get to play inside my head,
cause I've been there - and back

It's sad when you've been given every chance to love
and all you do is test the rules
I see no need for us to start it up again
It's best you find yourself another fool

Chorus
If your life is just a pool of games...
I'm not about it...I don't want to play baby
If you've no respect for human beings...
I'm not about it...I'm about the real

If you change the rules from day to day...
I'm not about it...I don't want to do that baby
Then I see no need for me to stay...
I'm not about it...I'm about the real

B sect.
I'm not asking you to be... anything special for me
Don't want you to say what you don't really feel
When giving up my love means... losing all my self esteem
Keep it to yourself baby... I'm looking for the real

( 2nd verse )
If there's a chance for us to work through this
We need to settle out - exactly where we stand
If being foolish is the best that you can give
It's best you find yourself another man

(Chorus Out)

All or Nothing At All (Featuring Vann Johnson)

( 1st verse )
Girl I can see where you are
Somewhere between near and far
Not really knowing - which way to turn

No sense in being afraid
This is no game of charades
Love has a lesson - for you to learn

Chorus
I'll give you all - of my heart
And if you need - I'll play the part
I'll give you all --- or nothing at all

I'll give you all - of my dreams
And all of the joy - new love can bring
I'll give you all --- or nothing at all

( 2nd verse )
Somehow when holding you close
Knowing what God only knows
All that I wish for - comes into view

There is no place or a time
I don't have you on my mind
Wherever I am girl - I'm with you

(Chorus)

B sect.
My life was you - from the first day that you called
I promised myself - there would be nothing
to keep me for giving you all

(Chorus Out)

Restore My Faith

( 1st verse )
I walked away from love a long time ago...
I turned my back on it all
I never thought - this could happen to me...
How could I get up from the fall

The voice that carries me is not quite enough...
to get me beyond all the pain
My heart is telling me it wants me to give...
but I'm finding it hard to sustain

Chorus
Restore my faith in this love
Restore the joy that was us
Show me the way that you want me to be
Restore my faith (I need to believe)

Restore my faith in this love
Restore the love that was us
Give me the peace that allows me to trust
Restore my faith
(Break)

( 2nd verse )
Open the door that lets me look in your heart...
Tell me the way I must go
If there's a chance for me to re-plant the seed...
the place is God only knows

Keep An Open Heart

( 1st verse )
No one's gonna love you like I do...
No one's gonna care enough to bring to you the truth
Everything that matters is you...
Everything I think about... leaves me with no room for doubt... (that)

All I care to fantasize is you...
Love beyond all reason... and you're the living proof
Nothing's gonna change the way I feel...
Have me any way you want... keeping all things real

B sect.
Days can bring you pleasure far beyond your wildest dreams
but questions start to play upon your mind
Words will go unspoken as does all such loving things
Losing all there substance in your heart with time

Chorus
When your love is being locked up in a shroud of secrecy
Keep an open heart for me...
If your fear has drawn a line that won't allow you to believe
Keep an open heart... Keep an open heart...

When the emptiness becomes a bit too much for you to bare
Keep an open heart for me...
All you have to do is speak the words of love and I'll be there
Keep an open heart... Keep an open heart...

( 2nd verse )
I'm the chosen one who's meant to be... (and)
You're the air of sweetness ... my body wants to breathe
Seeing in you're face the eye's of love...
Feeling everything you say... as though it were your touch

B sect.
Ways from up above will try to find a way for you
but darkness always lives to intervene
Love will only hold it's own when it's seeded in the truth
Opening your spirit... to leave no in between
(Chorus Out)

How Was I to Know

( 1st verse )
It's safe to say I'm doing fine...
hope that you can say you're better
Life was somewhat difficult...
in that time we weren't together

Now you say you want me back...
Say you finally found a reason
I understand what's in your heart...
(but) I'm living in a different season

B sect.
My love was on a different track... I wasn't going out like that
begging you to love... wanting you to trust... everything I was

What was going through my mind... living everyday a lie
Working just to prove... I was here for you... feeling like a fool

Chorus
How was I to know... what you really felt
You would never say - and I was left to think
you were loving someone else

How was I to know... what was going on
You never took the time... to make me feel that I
was your one... and only one

* How was I to know... you kept it to yourself
What you wouldn't say - led me to believe
you were loving someone else

( 2nd verse )
Living in some grand illusion...
you stepped out to find yourself
In the darkness of confusion...
I felt the love someone else

It's not a simple, said I'm sorry...
cause what you've done has set you back
Words won't change the way I'm thinking...
you're someone I never had

(B sect., Chorus Out, Take * second time through Chorus)
