Blue Obsession lyrics

(Michael McDonald And Tommy Sims)
We're lost, baby that's ok
We may not always understand
We may not always know the way
We can cry and we can hurt sometimes
But we both know what's important
At the end of the line
It's not always the case that we know just what to do
But when it comes to me and you
[Chorus:]
We've both been here before
So let love open up the door
What love will surely show us

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)
Behind us now lies a long bending road
And at this point we wonder what we need to be
All this way like a single heart
Just so you know nothings really changed for me
For so long I watched you shine your light
I know hope is hard to find right now (but)
Someday you will
Someday you will
In every life the darkest days seem so long

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)
Starin' back at a room full of strange faces
I sense another welcome worn thin
A bartender sayin' "son take it outside"
"take it out the door you brought it in"
He said, he don't wanna hear about my problem
Or why I think I got it so tough
He said guys like me come a dime a dozen
That my only problem is knowin' when I've had enough

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)
Down here on love's killin' floor
I doubt if we could take much more
Here and now, (we) need to ask ourselves why
We've come this far only to find
The price of happiness
We no longer pay
You gotta really love someone
Words alone are cheap
It's more of what you do
And less of what you say
Baby I don't wanna live
In some prison of promises

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)
Day by day
One by one
They plant the seeds of doubt
But far too many have come this far
For me to turn back now
I wanna build upon it...
One by one
We must believe a change will come somehow
'cause far too many lay down their lives
For me to give up now
I wanna build upon it...
One world we leave behind
One truth that lights the way

(Tony Joe White And Michael McDonald)
Something deep inside, keeps me hangin' on
Don't believe I've ever seen a night so long
Guess I tried to fly high above the clouds
But I landed here in the mornin' rain at your door
And I know I let you down again
But right now you know I need a friend
I don't know why
I guess I just lose my way
And your eyes don't believe a word I say

(William Robinson, Warren Moore, Marvin Tarplin And Robert Rodgers)

You do me wrong and still I'm crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt just makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers grow through rain
But how can love grow through pain

Ain't that peculiar
A peculiarity

(Neil Young)
Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby
There's no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me standin' here all alone
When you could be takin' me for a ride
Ooh la la la
She could drag me over the rainbow
And take me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Take my hand, I'll take your hand baby
Together we might get away
This much madness is too much sorrow

(Michael McDonald And John Scott Sherrill)

You if anyone should know what time will tell
Not so long ago you taught me oh so well
Now your time has come
Someone took your place
(there's) no need to tell me that he's gone ('cause)
I can read it on your face

You learned that you could dream every night
You can try all you like
You can pray every day that it's enough

(Michael McDonald/Tommy Sims)
Like a river runnin' to the sea
There must be a reason for all these shattered dreams
Starts with our believing and ends with our backs against the walls
If I'm not careful I might convince myself
This is the way it's always gonna be
Spend my whole life wonderin' just what it means to survive
So I wonder, am I strong enough?
Do I have the strength I need to carry on?

(Michael McDonald And Chester Thompson)
From a house comes the sound of an infant crying
People stand and stare at the door
They dare not go in
Where a child lies sobbing beside a lifeless body
Trying in vain to awaken the mother within
This chain of death has so many faces
From the frightened man to the pitiful child
Where is our deliverance here?
Will this not pass over?
[Chorus:]

(Michael McDonald And Jim Photoglow)
Just so many words
No more than a touch
In matters of love
I never knew much
Till you gave your heart
And all of your soul
I look at your face
And I see it all
[Chorus:]
Baby, you showed me the meaning of love
You opened my eyes
You were patient and wise
Baby, you showed me the meaning of love
You brought me this far
In all that you are
