Go All The Way
(Eric Carmen)

I never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said,
"Baby, please go all the way,
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight,
Please, go all the way,
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go"

I couldn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, "I love you so,
Please go all the way,
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight,
Please, go all the way,
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go"

Before her love I was cruel and mean,
I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I've changed,
And it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
And she says,
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"I need you" (Come on)
"I love you" (Come on)
"I need you" (Come on)

Please, go all the way
It feels so right being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go

Go all the way


Come Around And See Me
(Wally Bryson)

If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will

A love as strong as mine
You shouldn't be denied, my love
You'll end up by my side
Just wait and see me

If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will

Although I know you've tried
There's nowhere left to hide, my love
You'll end up by my side
Come around and see me

Don't ever think I'll be cruel to you
I'm a fool for you
Come around and see me

If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will

You know I've never lied
You'll never be denied, my love
You'll end up by my side
Come around and see me

Don't ever think I'll be cruel to you
I'm a fool for you
Come around and see me

If you want me to wait forever
I will
And though you say you may love me never
You will

You know I've never lied
You'll never be denied, my love
You'll end up by my side
Come, around and see me

Come around and see me, come around and see me
Come around and see me, come around and see me


I Saw The Light
(Wally Bryson/Eric Carmen)

Good friends
Book ends
Solitaire for two
Till she was leaving
I never really knew

When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized

There's a knock on the door
Then you're home forever more
And now that you're here
There is nothing to fear

When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her
When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her

When I looked in her eyes
I saw the light
I realized all along it was her


Rock & Roll Mama
(David Smalley)

Rock and roll mama
Gets her kicks at the hop every Friday night
They know when she walks out the door
She ain't comin' home all night

Rock and roll mama
Wanna take you home with me
Put down my guitar
Just long enough to make you see

I'm gonna hold you like a lover should
Yeah! Rock and roll mama
Make you feel so good
All right! All right!

Rock and roll mama

She's got the kind of walk
Drives you crazy when she passes by
You know she's gonna burn you
But there's nothing gonna stop you from trying

Rock and roll mama
Wanna take you home with me
I'm gonna put down my guitar
Just long enough to make you see

Rock and roll mama make you feel all right
Yeah! Come on, sugar
Can you stay all night?
All night! All night!

Rock and roll mama

I'm gonna hold you like a lover should
Yeah! Rock and roll mama
Make you feel so good
All right! All right!

Rock and roll mama

She's got the kind of walk
Drives you crazy when she passes by
You know she's gonna burn you
But there's nothing gonna stop you from trying

Rock and roll mama
Wanna take you home with me
I'm gonna put down my guitar
Just long enough to make you see

Rock and roll mama make you feet all right
Yeah! Come on sugar, call
Can you stay all night?
All night! All night!

Rock and roll mama

Come on, sugar, shake those hips
You got to drive me wild
Gonna watch you rock and roll
Till the sun comes up at half past five

Rock and roll mama

Wanna take you home
'Cause now I know that there's nothing
Like a rock and roll mama
Make me lose control

Rock and roll mama
Make you feel all right
Yeah! Come on sugar
Can you stay all night?
All night! All night!

All night! Rock and roll mama


Waiting
(Eric Carmen)

Once I could find my way
But that was yesterday
Believe me, it's not easy
I am waiting

Another day goes by
You ask me why I cry
Believe me, it's not easy
I've been waiting all my life

I said "I've been waiting all my life
For love to show her face"
When will I know, how will I know
Where to take my place?

When love was in her eyes
I had to pass it by
Believe me, it's not easy
I'd been waiting all my life

She said "I've been waiting all my life
For love to show his face"
When will I know, how will I know
Where to take my place?

Once I could find my way
But that was yesterday
Believe me, it's not easy
I'll be waiting all my life


Don't Want To Say Goodbye
(Wally Bryson/Eric Carmen)

Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime

If you could lie here by my side at night
If you could chase away my blues
You'd understand just how it feels at night
To have to stand inside my shoes

Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me

Don't want to drive your love away from me
Don't want to waste your time
You're here and there and far away from me
I'm so alone, it's just a crime

Don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to let you see me cry
Still, I don't want you to live a lie
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
I'm gonna try a little harder
And maybe you'll love me

Maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me
Maybe you'll love me


With You In My Life
(Wally Bryson)

With you in my life all I want to do is love
With you in my life you are all I'm thinking of
I hope you know I've never felt this way
And as long as you're true to me in my life you'll stay

I'll give you happiness; a little boy, a little girl
Another boy, another girl, and love

With you in my life all I want to do is love
With you in my life you are all I'm thinking of
I hope you know I've never felt this way
And as long as you're true to me in my life you'll stay


Get It Moving
(David Smalley)

Baby, don't you know that I couldn't share you
So, if you're coming back we'll get things straight
It's been so long since the day you left me
I never thought that I'd have to wait

Get it Moving back my way
Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love
Get it moving, yeah

Said you didn't want a love that would tie you.
You needed time and would I wait.
I've been so lost and now I've got to tell you
I need it all, I can't be second rate.

Get it moving back my way
Oh, I Couldn't live another day without your love
Get it moving back my way

I need your loving more each day
Get it moving back my way
I won't be happy till I know you'll stay

Said you didn't want a love that would tie you
You needed time and would I wait
It's been so long and now I've got to tell you
I need it all, I can't be second rate

Get it moving back my way
Oh, I couldn't live another day without your love


I Can Remember
(Eric Carmen)

I can remember summer skies and your eyes
And in September when I first realized
That I needed you to be the other half of me
And my love long locked inside itself
Had finally been set free

I can remember autumn skies and goodbyes
Hurting so badly that I thought I would die
But the more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
And the lonely ones get lonelier
With every passing day

From the day we met I knew that
I should never let you get a hold on me
'Cause now you see I can't forget you
Oh I, I can remember mid summer skies
Love in your eyes

In the spring the sun will shine
And make the ice surrender
But it will not warm my heart
As long as I remember
Oh I, I can remember mid summer skies
Love in your eyes

And I, I will remember the times I've cried
Since you said goodbye. I nearly died when you said
"I, I can't let you down any more
So I guess this is goodbye"
What, what did you do it for?
Every time I think of you and him together
I break down and cry

Oh I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you said "Goodbye"
I, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you said "Goodbye"

I can remember
I can remember
I can remember
