Lyrics: Chicago - If You Leave Me Now

If You Leave Me Now
Chicago

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
Uh uh uh uh girl I just want you to stay

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
Uh girl, I just got to have you by my side

Uh uh uh uh no baby, please don't go

Oh mama, I just got to have your loving, yeah

Lyrics: Christopher Cross and Frances Ruffelle - I Will (Take You Forever)

I Will (Take You Forever)
Christopher Cross and Frances Ruffelle

I was a man
Who always played around at love
So quick to take
But so afraid to give enough
But now I've found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
And time can't take away

I was a girl who trusted no one with my heart
And the dreams that young girls dream
Were just vanishing in the dark
But now I've found the one
And heaven will only know
What only my eyes can say
They say

Chorus:
That I will (I will) take you (take you) forever
And there will never be anyone else in my heart but you
And I will take you forever
And there will never be anyone else but you
Anyone else but you

Now my touch belongs to you
And I will always be your best friend
Now my secrets are safe with you
And the magic will never end
Now you are the one
And heaven will only know
What only our eyes can say
They say

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus 2x

Happy Birthday Mr. Christopher Cross!
Track was released in 1988 as part of his fourth studio album "Back Of My Mind." This is the last album he did with Warner Bros. Records.

Lyrics: Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)

Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
Christopher Cross

Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closing down the town

Wake up and she's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
You're wondering to yourself
Hey what've I found

Chorus:
When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do (the best that you can do)
The best that you can do is fall in love

Arthur he does what he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart
He's just he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a really good time
He's laughing about the way
They want him to be

Repeat Chorus

Happy Birthday Mr. Christopher Cross!

Lyrics: Christopher Cross - Sailing

Sailing
Christopher Cross

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

Chorus:
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

Repeat Chorus

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

Repeat Chorus

Lyrics: Extreme - More Than Words

Classic Fridays
More Than Words
Extreme

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words
