SEPARATE WAYS (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) Here we stand Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two Sleepless nights Losing ground I'm reaching for you, you, you Feelin' that it's gone Can change your mind If we can't go on To survive the tide live divides Someday love will find you Break those chains that bind you One night will remind you How we touched And went our separate ways If he ever hurts you True love won't desert you You know I still love you Through we touched And went our separate ways Troubled times Caught between confusions and pain, pain, pain Distant eyes Promises we made were in vain, vain, vain If you must go, I wish you love You'll never walk alone Take care my love Miss you love (chorus twice) I still love you girl I really love you girl And if he ever hurts you True love won't desert you No, No |
GIRL CAN'T HELP IT (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) If he could hold her, so close in his arms...again If she could show him The letter her heart forgot to send...why They're livin' dreams on their own Ooh they'll never stop running The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way And when he calls her She tells him that she still cares Under the moonlight, He wonders why she can't be there...why Why do they go on alone When they're missin' each other The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way The girl can't help it, she needs more He hasn't found what he's lookin' for They're still standing in the rain He can't help it, and she's just that way There's a fire Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you Don't you know she still cries Ooh do you know she still cries for you Fire Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you For you she cries Ooh do you know she still cries for you Fire Ooh there's a fire in his eyes for you Ooh nothing stands between love and you |

SEND HER MY LOVE (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) It's been so long Since I've seen her face You say she's doin' fine I still recall A sad cafe How it hurt so bad to see her cry I didn't want to say good-bye Send her my love, memories remain Send her my love, roses never fade Send her my love The same hotel, the same old room I'm on the road again She needed so much more Than I could give We knew our love could not pretend Broken hearts can always mend. (chorus) Callin' out her name I'm dreamin; Reflections of a face I'm seein' It's her voice That keeps on haunting me Send her, send her my love Roses never fade Memories remain Send her, send her, my love |
POSITIVE TOUCH (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) Emergency breakthrough There's no way to reach you There's somebody else I'll turn to She (she's) has got the positive touch (touch) She's bringing love back to me, yeah, back to me. I said-- She, (she's) to me means so much (much) She's saving it all for me, yeah I'm missin' your touch, you're wondering where I've been No, it's never enough, you're pushing me to the end You won't break his heart, no... She's not like you are, no... Girl, I'm lettin' your love, go... She, (she's) has got the positive touch (touch) She's bringing love back to me, yeah, I said back to me I said she (she) to me means so much She's saving it all for me You won't break his heart, no...

AFTER THE FALL (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) So now love is gone I can't t go on, love is gone I want to say Now it's just too late Waited far too long Should have told you then I knew Should have told you right From the start But the words Didn't come out right So I'll tell you Straight from my heart You meant more to me Than I let you see You held on somehow All your tenderness And your sweet caress I miss you now Buy a headstrong stubborn man Only works it out the best he can Valentines he never sent There's not enough time He's a workin' man Can't stop fallin' Heartaches callin' Finds you after the fall Saints or sinners Take no prisoners What's left after you fall No not much no Oh I say love is gone I can't go on Now love is gone I want to say But It's just too late Waited far too long Should have told you then I knew Should have told you right From the start But the words Didn't come out right So I'll tell you Straight from my heart (chorus) No no not much After the fall After you fall After you fall |
BE GOOD TO YOURSELF (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) Runnin' out of self-control Gettin' close to an overload Up against a no win situation Shoulder to shoulder, push and shove I'm hangin' up my boxin' gloves I'm ready for a long vacation Be good to yourself when, nobody else will Oh be good to yourself You're walkin' a highwire, caught in a crossfire Oh be good to yourself When you can't give no more They want it all but you gotta say no I'm turnin' off the noise that makes me crazy Lookin' back with no regrets To forgive is to forget I want a little piece of mind to turn to Be good to yourself when, nobody else will Oh be good to yourself You're walkin' a highwire, caught in a crossfire Oh be good to yourself Be good to yourself when, nobody else will |

FAITHFULLY (Jonathan Cain) Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love Along the wire They say that the road Ain't no place to start a family Right down the line It's been you and me And lovin' a music man Ain't always what it's supposed to be Oh girl you stand by me I'm forever yours...faithfully Circus life Under the big top world We all need the clowns To make us smile Through space and time Always another show Wondering where I am Lost without you And being apart ain't easy On this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy Of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours...faithfully Oh, oh, oh, oh Faithfully, I'm still yours I'm forever yours Ever yours...faithfully |
ONCE YOU LOVE SOMEBODY (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) Two young hearts lost in love they vow to stay, Running wild they believe they've found a way Filled with hope She's the dream, she understands you Now this time He'll hold on, she'll never leave him They'll never let go 'cause... Once you love somebody, (once you love) There's no turning back (turning back) It can burn forever, it can haunt you, haunt you in the night How can lovers just turn and walk away Loneliness is an edge that cuts both ways So easy to fall So hard to get over Once you love somebody, (once you love) There's no turning back (turning back) It can burn forever, it can haunt you, haunt you in the night So easy to fall, so hard to get over Once you love somebody, (once you love) There's no turning back (turning back) It can burn forever, it can haunt you, haunt you in the night (Once you love somebody), once you love (they can break your heart), no no no It can burn forever, letting go, that's the hardest part |

EDGE OF
THE BLADE (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) You've been tryin', very heard Now this time you've gone too far Your performance perfect In every way--perfect! I hear rumors all around Contracts and lawyers And champagne downtown Tell me what you think You want me to do I've been always fair with you Turning on me After all we've been through You want trouble then that's just the way it will be You're caught up in the power A blue magical maze Now the circle is broken In a spellbinding rage Better see if you're holdin' The wrong edge of the blade If it's sharp, if it cuts Enjoy yourself |
HAPPY TO GIVE (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) I was born a believer, played the fool Lonely dreamer, left to choose I don't know where the love is, there's a promise undone Someone's cry'in, in a room all alone Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone Through it all, we love and we lose Where is the one, someone who's happy (happy to give) Happy to be with you, it's here you belong, with someone Who's happy (happy to give) happy to give you love A song for the singer, one book of dreams Take this heartache, away from me A page in a story, romance untold Sharing secrets, we call, our own Shadows fall, after the hurt is gone Through it all, we love and we lose Where is the one, someone who's happy (happy to give) Happy to be with you, it's where you belong, with someone Who's happy (happy to give) happy to give you love Happy, happy, oh happy (Happy to give), oo happy to give Oh somebody's happy to give you love, Your love, your love oh yeah |

FRONTIERS (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith) Oh yeah Progress flys, into our lives Got to find time, find time Talk digit talk You're doin' find Machines never mind They never mind Out on the border Of a changing skyline We put hope in front of fear And all the Heroes Have gone east of eden We all need new frontiers Ooh It's a 3D rise All tech-na-ca-jive Talk a video dive War is for fools Crisis is cool Barbarians play (chorus) New, new, frontiers Barbarians play away, away, away...play |
I'LL BE ALRIGHT WITHOUT YOU (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) I've been thinking 'bout the times You walked out on me There were moments I'd believe, you were there Do I miss you, or am I lying to my self again I do these things... (It's all because of you) I keep holding on, but I'll try (try not to think of you) Love don't leave me lonely I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else...I keep tellin' myself I'll be alright without you Oh...love's an empty face, I can't replace (you don't need it) People wonderin' why we broke apart The great pretender here I go again These things I do (It's all because of you) I'll keep holdin' but I'll try (try not to think of you) All I wanted was to hold you I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else, I keep tellin' myself I'll be alright without you Love's an empty face...Oh I've got to replace I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else, I keep tellin; myself I'll be alright without you Oh...love's an empty place, I can still see your face I'll be alright |

RUBICON (Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain) In this promised land Fire burnin' in our hands The choice is ours to make Realize your fantasy You live the dream With every step you take Stand tall stand on the edge Use the thin end of the wedge The will to cast your fate Don't turn around too late Lose ground if we hesitate Burning youth won't wait Make a move across the rubicon Futures knockin' at your door Take your time And choose the road you want Opportunity is yours See it all so clear Time is right time is near We know now what to do All god's children learn Which way to turn Turning' back we're through We all refuse to lose Live life and light the fuse Burning youth won't wait |
IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) We were so close yet so far away I'd reach out, you'd be gone Moments that still talk my breath away There's so much more to life than loving you You don't need me, no... I...can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams It could have been you my love (where are you now) Oh I...still wonder if you remember the night It could have been you Time washes over, memories I can't look back no more Change has forsaken, our promises There's someone else for you to hold again So please stop your crying I...can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams It could have been you my love (where are you now) Oh I...still wonder if you remember the night It could have been you Remember, remember, girl I remember I...can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams It could have been you my love (where are you now) Oh I...still wonder if you remember the night It could have been you (where are you now) Should have been you my love (where are you now) It could have been you my love, (where are you now) remember...remember...remember |

THE EYES OF A WOMAN (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) In the eyes of a woman, in a world of desire, From the moment she looked my way. I was so hypnotized Should I show how I feel, she's the magnet, I'm steel The eyes of a woman, there's nowhere to run The eyes of a woman In the arms of an angel, in a dangerous disguise Love's a blue fascination It's a mystery that burns, takes a lifetime to learn The eyes of a woman, there's nowhere to run The eyes of a woman, my fears come undone In the eyes of a woman, there's nowhere to run The eyes of a woman, my fears come undone Nowhere to run Nowhere to run Nowhere to run |

WHY CAN'T THIS NIGHT GO ON
FOREVER (Steve Perry, Jonathan Cain) Lost in twilight, the memories Precious moments, you and me We've been old friends, all through the years Picture postcards, sharing tears What's in our hearts, there's never time, to say Need you tonight, lover don't fade away I've seen your city lights As I walk away Why can't this night...go on forever Without love, we won't survive Run together, we rule the night Tell me secrets, oh that make you cry Where's the laughter, we gotta try What's in our hearts, there's never time to say Need you tonight, lover don't fade away Like a photograph That time won't erase Why can't this night...go on forever Go on forever and ever...ever and ever |
