(Paul Buchanan)
It's the middle of the night
It's been a long hard day
I see you walk my way
Say it baby
I want you...
The jukebox laughing low
At the sad motel
Knows that I can't break your spell
Say it baby
I want you...
It's my life and I know
Even though you don't show me
Am I right?
Am I wrong to believe in you?
Yeah yeah
Say it baby
I want you...

(Michael McDonald)
Why do we look so hard?
Why do we ask so much?
In this world, it's sad in a way
How time unblesses love, and faith is lost
There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us
No more waiting for conscience to remind us
There are few things meaningless as words
At the point of no return
Why do we want so much?
Can we be satisfied?
In this life how many times

(Carole King And Gerry Goffin)
Hey girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
Hey girl, I'll tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye
Hey girl, this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you?
Hey girl, don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone?
How will I live, how can I go on?
How can I go on?

(Michael McDonald)
You say sometimes you feel like searchin'
For what you think you need
If you go searchin' for life's reward
You'll wind up sailin' the seven seas
'cause here and now when lightning strikes
And it drives us to our knees
Only then do we realize
What we don't always see
That even now in our darkesr hour
We've got the whole universe in our hands
Of all the choices we could make

(Michael McDonald)
Broken heart, bloodshot stare,
Signs of a fool who cared too much
Now she's gone and he can't remember
How to live without her touch
Hopin' to die but surely livin' to tell
'cause when it comes to matters of the heart
There is nothing a fool won't get used to
After all the whiskey and wisdom he could swallow
He thought it was time to start loving again

No greater power
No greater gift to lose
Than the message unspoken
The silence of the truth
Alone we hid in the shadows
But together we bring on the light.
One voice is not strong enough
One heart just won't do
In this world I don't count for much
Unless I stand for you.
Oh, we are the beginning
Of a sound that might be heard
To the many who lie waiting

The world goes mad around us
While I stand by and watch you sleep
In the hope that harm won't find us
I pray the Lord our souls to keep
Does he see us here
Are we precious in his sight
Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball
He hurled out into the night
Somewhere east of Eden.
From the first time that we stumble
We learn that nothing is assured
However hoplessly we tumble

(George Perilli And Michael McDonald)
Child, as I look in your eyes
You know my life seems like a minute
There I find living proof
Of all the wonder life hold in it
In the past I thought I had to learn
Any good that comes from this life we're living
Here and now, let us realize
That this life's gift and it's already been given
[Chorus:]
Someday when you stand in the middle

(Chuck Sabatino And Michael McDonald)
What makes a man
Believe in a brighter day
When his whole world is fallin' apart
All promise is fading away
What does it take,
To turn his heart to stone
When he's got more than his share of riches
More than one life can hold
Sometimes it takes
More than we've got it seems
Something so close, so near
Even a blind man sees
If it takes a hand strong and mighty

(Will Jennings And Michael McDonald)
This love is the only thing
Pinning our future to the past
What we have will always be
The part of this living that lasts
Baby, here I stand unafraid
To foresake this world for your tenderness
I'm reachin' out, I can't give up
Sometimes it seems to me
That this world is only where we start
For all it's wonder I still believe

(Michael McDonald)
Love is the answer to a child
Just as hope is the answer to us all
But it's there at the beginning
That we learn to hope at all
And god help us if we don't
[Chorus:]
Tell me where is this place
From which there's no return
What can we know of another road
From the one that we made
With our anger and our rage
We dare not go where there is no hope
Not even for a child
