I WONDER

I’ve been looking through my old photographs

Seeing you again brings back memories of the past

Our battles great and small, they’re all silent now

Things we worried about don’t seem so important somehow

Chorus:

Remember all the plans we made

How did we let them all slip away

I guess we were bound for different journeys

Still, I wonder how you are

I wonder where you are today

I remember hot, hazy summers

Those lazy drawn out days hangin’ out in my front yard

We talked about our dreams and our futures

Surviving in a world already laden with so many scars

Chorus:

How we were so young and free

And we were firm in all we believed

Time has written us different stories

Still, I wonder how you are

I wonder where you are today

Bridge:

Do you remember me, I wonder

And all we used to be to one another

In some other place

(1st verse reprise)

Chorus

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS

A girl just barely seventeen

A man with hands of gold

All the warmth in his eyes

Brought me to his side

For always, to have and to hold

He took me to far away places

Showed me things I’d never seen

All this beauty and grace

Did little to replace

The one thing that I really need

Chorus:

You gave me the world

In diamonds and pearls

And all that you knew how to give

But, what I needed more

You couldn’t afford

So you gave me diamonds and pearls

At times my life was a fairy tale

And you were my handsome prince

As those years passed on by

I soon realized

I never wanted all this

Chorus

LEAVE THIS HEART OF MINE

Should I tell you, should I let you know

I’ve been thinkin’ I should just let go

‘Cause this ain’t workin’ out the way that I planned

I look at you and see someone else

Someone I don’t think I know too well and

I’m not really sure you know who I am

You’ve been sayin’ that you need a change

I’ve been thinkin’ that I need the same

Chorus:

So, take everything

All you’re promising

Take what you want

Just leave this heart of mine

Maybe I was just a bit naïve

To think you could love me honestly

When a line of broken hearts lay in your path

Thought that maybe I could change your ways

Bring you around from all those glory days

But you never could commit to something like that

There’s no way I’m gonna settle for this

Some day you’ll know exactly what you’ve missed

Chorus

Bridge:

You keep searchin’ for something that you’ll never find

Lookin’ in all the wrong places

Comin’ up empty every time

Chorus

WHAT GOES AROUND (COMES AROUND)

I’ve known you baby for as long as I can remember

We’ve worked together right from the very start

You had me spinning your big wheel

Witnessing those senseless deals, was all that I knew

You had me playin’ all your games

Believin' every word you said

You had me trust you

I really didn’t know you

Pre chorus:

You say it’s not over and that might well be true

Soon you will discover, what goes around is comin’ back to you

There was a time when you and I were such good friends

And I felt in my heart I could trust you with anything

But somehow all that I had dreamed 

Was cast on some big movie screen

It wasn’t easy, but I finally broke free

Pre chorus

Chorus:

I won’t be there to save you

Or catch you when you fall

You’ll never understand the pain that you have caused

‘Till what’s gone around is headed back to you

Repeat chorus

After all that you have put me through

There’s really nothing you can do

What goes around is comin’ back to you

WONDERFUL

You and I will stand above

Anyone who’s never found true love

They’ll never know

They’re dyin’ to know what we have

Could have been forever blind

Never seeing what was there to find

Now that I’ve found You

I’m holding on and on

Chorus:

Our dream forever fly’s

A love that never dies

You’re heaven in my eyes

You’re Wonderful, so wonderful

Desperation made me stray

When loneliness had filled my days

But You turned me around

Put my feet on the ground

I don’t know just where I’d be

If You had not been there for me

Lost and lonely, scared and empty

Your love has rescued me

Chorus

Adonai, You’re so wonderful

Adonai

DON’T YOU WANT ME NOW

I remember those days

You’d come around, hangin’ about my door

It was easy to see that you really wanted me

It was just a matter of time

We’d fall in love and you couldn’t stay away

Now that we’re together, things are not the same

Chorus:

Don’t you want me now

Don’t you need me now

There was a time you said I was everything you needed in your life

If you leave me now

I’ll get by somehow, but I’ll never understand how you could change your mind

I’ve been wonderin’ all night

Did I do something wrong, ‘cause I’m sittin’ here alone

Wishin’ that feelin’ would come back again

I never really did know why the feel of your touch was turnin’ from warm to cold

You never really loved me

Were you just using me

Chorus

WHO’S CRYIN’ NOW

Giving you all that I had to give

Thinking of you, whatever I did

Your love was all I longed for

Now I can see it was all just a game

Sayin’ I’m sorry won’t change anything

‘Cause baby I can’t live like this

Chorus:

Who’s cryin’ now

And after all this time

Who’s sorry now

Just when you realize it’s over

Turning away from the sound of my tears

You only heard what you wanted to hear

You never tried to listen

Up until now I guess I didn’t see

All of the ways that you mistreated me

Now you’ll know just how I feel

Chorus

Bridge:

I know as time goes, it heals a broken heart and people carry on

I pray, someday I’ll find the love that I’ve been searchin’ for so long

Chorus

YOU’RE BREAKIN’ MY HEART

Thought that I was over you

Time had healed my pain

It’s been a while since we said goodbye

And I never thought I’d see you again

I saved some photos of the two of us

They sit in a box down the hall

Sometimes it’s hard to look at them

When I’m tryin’ to feel nothin’ at all

Chorus:

You’re breakin’ my heart all over again

Every day since way back when

Just when I feel that I’m about to mend

You’re breakin’ my heart all over again

Baby, you gave me roses

I gave you the key to my heart

There was no way of knowin’ one day

You’d tear my whole world apart

We’ve ended up in this small café

I’m hopin’ you won’t notice me

‘Cause I can’t hide the way I feel inside

And baby I can’t let you see

Chorus

Bridge:

I keep asking myself every day

Why I gave you so many chances

Guess I prayed that maybe you’d change

I’ll never look at love the same way again

Chorus

I’M NOT LETTING GO

Sounds of the night, soft pale moonlight

Suddenly this place feels so cold

The whispering wind tells my story again

When have I been so alone

I look through the porch window to find you’re not there

You’ve left, you’re not coming home

Though there’s a chance I won’t see you again

I’m not letting go

Night after night, to me it felt right

You said everything about us was wrong

These tears that I shed lying there in my bed

Feeling that I never belonged

Darlin’ if you’re thinkin’ of me at all

There’s something I want you to know

As long as this fire burns deep in my soul

I’m not letting go

Daylight appears, it’s your voice I hear

But, the silence takes over again

I’ll try to forget ‘cause I want no regrets

But tell me when will my pain ever end

I’ll go on living my life again

Still, there’s something I need you to know

As long as this fire burns deep in my soul

I’m not letting go

I want you to know

I’m not letting go
