1. DON'T FADE AWAY

As I stand at the crossroad,
I see the sun sinking low...
With my cross of indecision,
I can't tell which way to go...
Now I have seen the seven wonders
And I have sailed the seven seas,
I've walked and talked with angels,
And danced all night with gypsy queens...

All in all it's been a rocky road,
Twists and turns along the way...
But, I still pray for tomorrow,
All my hopes, my dreams
Don't fade away... Don't fade away...

I have painted many portraits,
Memories of love and pain,
Though cut down by life's deceptions
I found the strength to start again...

All in all it's been a rocky road,
Twists and turns along the way...
But, I still pray for tomorrow,
All my hopes, my dreams
Don't fade away... Don't fade away.

Heaven help a man
Trying to make up his mind,
With the darkness closing in,
I feel I'm running out of time...
Shine a light for me,
Help me find the way to go,
And take me where I've never been before...

And so I stand at the crossroad,
Watching the sun sinking low...
With my cross of indecision,
Trying to find the way to go...

All in all it's been a rocky road,
Twists and turns along the way,
But, I still pray for tomorrow
All my hopes, my dreams
Don't fade away...


2. CAN'T GO ON

I've been feeling sentimental,
In a melancholy way,
Blues siting on my shoulder,
Getting heavier every day...

Staring into space,
One thing on my mind,
I've been trying to drown
The thought of you
By drinking too much wine...

Then my imagination
Starts running wild,
I snap my fingers
And you're there by my side...

Can't go on without your love,
There's no song without your love...
Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme,
Without your love
I'll go out of my mind...

Been getting too lazy,
Letting myself go,
Feeling like a refugee
No one cares for anymore...
Endless lonely days,
I just try to get through,
And there's no escape,
Even when I sleep,
'Cause all I dream is you...

Then my imagination
Gets the better of me,
Cause you're everywhere I go,
In everything I see...

I can't go on without you love,
There's no song without your love...
There ain't no reason, there ain't no rhyme,
Without your love
I'll go out of my mind...

You make me dance,
You make me sing,
When I'm with you
I can do anything...
When I'm cold,
You keep me warm.
And give me shelter
From the howling storm...

There ain't no reason, there ain't no rhyme,
Without your love
I'll go out of my mind...

Can't go on without your love,
There's no song without your love...


3. TOO MANY TEARS

I used to be the man for you
Did everything you wanted me to
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

I told you what you wanted to know
Precious secrets never spoken before
All I'm asking
Where did I go wrong

Some things are better left unsaid
But all I do is cry instead
Now I've cried me a river
Thinking how it used to be

There've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

Everything I had was yours
More than I have ever given before
So won't you tell me
Did I hurt you so bad

I guess I'm fooling myself
Cause I want you and no one else
And I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me
There've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong

Now my heart is breaking
My whole world is shaking
Cause I can't understand
Why you're doing these things to me

There've been too many tears falling
And there've been too many hearts
Breaking in two
Remember what we had together
Believing it would last forever
So tell me baby
Where did I go wrong


4. STAY WITH ME

Where did you go
When things went wrong, baby,
And who did you run to,
To find a shoulder
To lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there,
Didn't I take good care of you.

Oh no, I can't believe you leaving me...

Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Won't you stay with me, baby,
I can't go on...

Who did you touch
When you need tenderness.
I gave so much
And in return I found happiness.
Baby, what did I do
Maybe I was too good, too good for you.

No, no, I can't believe you leaving me.

Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby.
Won't you stay with me, baby,
I can't go on.

Remember,
You said you're always gonna need me,
Remember,
You said you'd never, ever leave me,
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you.

Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Won't you stay with me, baby,
I can't go on, can't go on...

Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, stay with me, baby.
Won't you stay with me, baby,
I can't go on...
