Miracles Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

If you’re anything like me
You find yourself taking for granted
Everything you see
Things that we just rush right by most everyday

Like how the sun heats the day
And how it’s so far away
And how it just keeps on burning and burning
And what the skies have to say
Can make the rain go away
And how the world keeps on turning and turning

I believe there are miracles all around us
And I’m so happy that one of them found us
Cause there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sound of love
Love is a miracle

Can you imagine
What life would be without the presence
Of our children’s laughter
These are things that we should hold so dear to our hearts

Instead we’re moving so fast
That we just don’t look around
We’ve learned to just keep on going and going but I
I think we’ve got to slow down
I think there’s more to be found
If we just keep on searching and searching

I believe there are miracles all around us
And I’m so happy that one of them found us
Cause there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sound of love
Love is a miracle

Love can open a heart
Love can sing a new song
Love can change a million minds and conquer something that’s wrong
As for you and me
Love has definitely
Given us reason to know it’s a miracle

I believe there are miracles all around us
And I’m so happy that one of them found us
Cause there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sound of love
Love is a miracle

Sweet Providence Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I’ve been burning bridges left and right
Losing wars I should not fight
When I thought I was drifting we were bound

Cause your mercy is misunderstood
Where I see flaws you see the good
And lost is just a step away from found

All the damage I have done and left behind
Could you forgive me one more time?

Here I am a broken man
Under water seeking land
Trying to claw my way back to my innocence
Situation critical
Destination where you are
Cause you’re the only thing that’s making any sense
Oh sweet providence

Well I got crossed between the guilt and shame
Won’t ask for help won’t share the blame
Convinced myself I fell from grace with you

Ran a thousand miles to just to get nowhere
I felt my heart was hope impaired
Could not find the light to climb into

All the wreckage that I’ve caused and left behind
Still you forgive me one more time

Here I am a broken man
Under water seeking land
Trying to claw my way back to my innocence
Situation critical
Destination where you are
Cause you’re the only thing left making any sense
Oh come sweet providence

Love is patient
Love bears all things
Hopes, believes, endures

All the troubles that I couldn’t leave behind
I’ve been forgiven all this time

Here I am a broken man
Under water seeking land
Trying to claw my way back to my innocence
Situation critical
Destination where you are
Cause you’re the only thing that’s making any sense
Oh come sweet providence

The Only Song Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I see the choir in the robes, the piano player plays
And they all sing hallelujah
All the people in the front and the people in the back
Are singing praises to Ya
And I close my eyes and let the music wash right over me
Just like the blood of the lamb that washed me clean

I'm looking through the book at the hymns
That a thousand men have written for You
“Amazing Grace” and “I'll Fly Away”
And “Joyful We Adore You”
And it occurred to me that the songs I sing, although they're beautiful
They just don't compare to the best one that I know

You are the melody, the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid Your life down for us
All the blessings that You bring
You're the only song I ever wanna sing.

All the sinners and the saints got something to say
But we know who gave 'em voices
And we're all down here in the atmosphere just making joyful noises
Birds are singing in the air, thunder crashes like a drum
Your song is everywhere; it was my first number 1

You are the melody the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid Your life down for us
All the blessings that You bring
You're the only song I ever wanna sing.

Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah

You are the melody, the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid your life down for us

You are the melody, the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid Your life down for us
All the blessings that You bring
Lord of Lords, and King of Kings
We will let our voices ring
You're the only song we ever wanna sing.
You're the only song I ever wanna sing (hallelujah)
You're the only song I ever wanna sing (hallelujah)
You're the only song I ever wanna sing.

The Mission Field Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Oh feet don't fail me now
Lead me where I should go
Oh heaven's light shine down
On the mission field

Oh Father fill my heart
Make me Your vessel true
Oh let me do my part
On the mission field

Eyes are opened fates are sealed
Hope is born here wounds are healed
God is present love revealed
On the mission field

Let every heart that beats
Know that I stand with You.
My enemies, You defeat
On the mission field

Long as my breath is drawn
Let me bear witness to
All those who might be lost
On the mission field

Eyes are opened fates are sealed
Hope is born here wounds are healed
God is present love revealed
On the mission field

Hold On Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I know you’re hanging by a tear drop
I know the walls are caving in
I know it feels just like a bad, bad dream
That never seems to end
I know your faith has taken a beating
But it’s stronger than you know, so
I got a friend and I think it’s time you meet him
And he will never let you go so…

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause love don’t know how to lose
Love don’t know how to choose defeat
Hold on, keep holding on

I know you wonder if it’s worth it
Why you even try at all
Cause you’ve given every ounce of love you had
And you still can’t move this wall
But there’s something inside that’s keeping you from letting go
That’s the spirit crying, can you hear it crying

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause love don’t know how to lose
Love don’t know how to choose defeat
Hold on, keep holding on

I know that you still believe there is a light
That is waiting for you
Right now you just can’t see it, oh but faith
Will take you there, so

Hold on, hold on, darlin’

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause love don’t know how to lose
Love don’t know how to choose defeat
Hold on, keep holding on
Hold on, keep holding on

Healing Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I used to pray for things that I don’t need
Trouble God with all my vanities
Used to pray for things that I shouldn’t want
I meant to give thanks, but I forgot

Now I pray for healing
I pray for peace
I pray for healing
For you and me

I used to pray that all my bills got paid
And that we'd get safely to the shows we played.
I used to think I didn't have enough...
Now I give because I know I have too much

And I pray for healing,
Oh God, send relief
I pray for healing
This time it's not for me

I used to pray my kids would grow up happy
Now I pray that they grow up at all
But I refuse to let these fears devour me
Cause I know it won’t be long
Before we’re standing tall again

I used to pray when things were not so fine
But now I find myself praying all the time
Now all the things that I used to pray for
Suddenly don’t mean a thing no more

Cause now I pray for healing
I pray for peace
I pray for healing for you
And for you
And for you
And for you
I pray for you
So pray for me
Pray for peace

I Still Believe In Love Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Ten years have passed and we're right where we were
Some things are better but so much is worse
I wonder sometimes if we're under a curse

What was once laughter has now turned to tears
And it seems not we're all just living in fear
And I can't help wondering how we here, so far

But I still believe
I still believe in love

So much has happened and so much has changed
But then again I guess it's more of the same
And we have got only ourselves to blame

I think of what life will be like years from now
I hope things get better but I can't see how
When all of the lines that we've crossed can't be found nowhere

But I still believe
I still believe in love

Yes I still believe
I still believe that God is the one who has made us
And got is the one who can save us
But God is the one we're afraid of believing

While all the world just keeps on fighting
All of out children keep dying
But I believe love just keeps trying to lead

But I still believe
I still believe in love
Yes I still believe
I still believe in love

Higher Calling Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Everyday’s a brand new day
A chance to undo my mistakes
And be the me I know that I can be

Count my blessings one by one
Grateful for what God has done
Spending more time down upon my knees

And I know I am not alone
To feel like I was made for more, c’mon now

It’s up to you and I to choose
To reach for a higher calling
A higher calling
Oh won’t you spread the news
We were meant for a higher calling
A higher calling

I’ve made my share of mistakes
Bound by chains I could not break
And there’s no one to blame it on but me

But love reigned down when it rained on me
To lift me up on my two feet
Now I live to give my life in return

And I know I am not alone
To feel like I can do so much more, so much more

It’s up to you and I to choose
To reach for a higher calling
A higher calling
Oh won’t you spread the news
We were meant for a higher calling
A higher calling

And we all know which road to go
We all reap that which we sow
Plant the seeds of love into our hearts and watch them grow

It’s up to you and I to choose
To reach for a higher calling
A higher calling
Oh won’t you spread the news
We were meant for a higher calling
A higher calling

Come Undone Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Somewhere between hello and goodbye
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Wanting to live but waiting to die
Holding on and on and on

No one to blame and no one to accuse
Nothing we could’ve done better
How can you win when there’s so much to lose
I know, I know, yes I know

I should’ve seen it in your face
I should’ve felt it in your touch
I should’ve heard it in the words
That you didn’t say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should’ve felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, now that’s all
Come undone

We’re getting further away from the shore
Feeling the distance between us
I don’t know if I should try anymore
Or just go, or just go, let it go, let it go

I should’ve seen it in your face
I should’ve felt it in your touch
I should’ve heard it in the words
That you didn’t say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should’ve felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, now that’s all
Come undone

Sometimes the writing is there on the wall
But you just can’t make out all the words
Sometimes the truth’s right in front of you
But it’s screaming too loud to be heard

I should’ve seen it in your face
I should’ve felt it in your touch
I should’ve heard it in the words
That you didn’t say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should’ve felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, now that’s all
Come undone

Pray For You lyrics - Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

n his way to make a stand
A little boy becomes a man
Another soldier calling home
Just to hear a mother’s voice

In a world made out of sand
He holds the phone tight in his hand
And waits to hear the only words
That can cut right through the noise

I’m gonna pray for you
I ‘m gonna pray for you
Until you’re in my arms
I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna wait for you
Until you’re safe from harm
I’m gonna pray for you

In an alley dark and cold
There’s a young girl no one holds
And it’s been a long long time
Since she’s felt anything

There's a father on his knees
Saying someone help her please
Find my little girl who's lost
As he hears the church bell ring

I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna pray for you
Until you’re in my arms
I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna wait for you
Until you’re safe from harm
I’m gonna pray for you

In an alley dark and cold
There’s a Savior no one holds
And it’s been a long long time…

I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna pray for you
Until you’re in my Father’s arms
I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna wait for you
Yes I will wait
Until you’re safe
Until your faith can lead you home
I'm gonna pray

Back From The Dead Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Close to the edge that’s where I’d stand
Dancing with fire with a match in each hand
Had a mind filled with fear and a heart full of rage
One step from insanity and one step from the grave

But I’m back from the dead
I’m starting all over now
With something to believe in
And something to live for

Gave up the ghost a long time ago
But my heart’s still beating how I don’t know
Fell down on my knees and covered my face
I begged for mercy but instead I got grace

And now I’m back from the dead
And I’m starting all over now
There’s something to believe in
And something to live for
I’m back from the dead
And I feel so much better now
Life is worth living again
Now that there’s something to live for
There’s something to live for

I found something to live for, something to die for
Something to hold on to
Someone who loves me but even more importantly
I finally learned to love myself

I was so lost nowhere to be found
If not for heaven where would I be now?

But I’m back from the dead
Back from that living hell
I know where I’m going now
That there’s something to live for

I’m back from the dead
I’m starting all over now
Life is worth living again
Cause there’s something to live for
There’s something to live for

"Close To The Edge" (2008)

Back From The Dead Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Close to the edge
That's where I stand
Dancing with fire
With a match in each hand
Had a mind filled with fear
And a heart full of rage
One step from insanity
One step from the grave

[Chorus:]
But I'm back from the dead
Starting over man
Something to believe in
Something to live for

Gave up the ghost
A long time ago
My hearts still beating
How I don't know
I fell down on my knees
Covered my face
I begged for mercy
But instead I got grace

[Chorus:]
Now I'm back from the dead
I'm Starting over man
Something to believe in
Something to live for

Yeah I'm back from the dead
And I feel so much better man
Life is worth living again
Now that there's something to live for
Something to live for

Something to live for
Something to die for
Something to hold on to
Someone who loves me
But even more importantly
I finally learned to rule
Myself

I was so lost
No where to be found
If not for Heaven
Where would I be now?

[Chorus:]
But I'm back from the dead
Back from not living here
I know where I'm going
Now that there's something to live for

Now I'm back from the dead
Starting all over man
Life is worth living again
Now that there's something to live for
Something to live for
Something to live for
Found something to live for
Someone to live for

Could've Been With You Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Call me crazy, call me a fool
But I believe dreams that come true
'cause I found myself kissing you that night
While I gazed at you asleep
Dressed up in my ripped up jeans
I relived that memory tonight
That was the past, we didn't last
And somehow I know it was my fault
I lost my chance for your hand
Now I could just kick myself

Look at all the mess I've made
Look at all the games I've played
I think of all the time I've wasted
I could've been with you
Now all I do is just blame myself
Trash another nice hotel
Some nights it hurts like hell to know
That I could've been with you (something about you)
I could've been with you (can't live without you)

All my thoughts are filled with you
Thinking bout the chance I blew
Knowing what I wish I knew back then
I was stupid didn't wait
Now my mind is in a state
Of wondering what could've been
Now it's much too late
I should've called
I should've crawled
I should've done everything I could
This is pathetic I shouldn't have let it in
Now I could just kick myself

Look at all the tears I've shared
Look at all the years I spent
Lying in this lonely bed when
I could've been with you
Losing you was a big mistake
The pain is more than I can take
All the smiles I try to fake
But I could've been with you

'cause I remember everything you said
All went to my head
Now I'm missing you (missing you)
Wish I was kissing you (again)
I let you slip right through my hands
Like a thousand grains of sand
Now I can't stand where I stand with you now

All my wishes lie in vain
So I'm left here to take the pain
Of knowing that you can live without me
Now my heart is the one that's breaking
Chances I should've never taken
I should've known there was more at stake when
I could've been with you

Now look at the one who's crying
And part of me is always dying
Knowing I should've kept on trying
And I could've been with you (something about you)
I could've been with you (can't live without you)
Could've been with you (something about you)
Could've been with you (can't live without you)

I Still Believe In Love Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Ten years have passed and we're right where we were

What was once laughter has now turned to tears
And it seems not we're all just living in fear

But I believe love just keeps trying to lead

But I still believe
I still believe in love
Yes I still believe
I still believe in love

Wild Side Of Me Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

It's been awhile since we hung out like this
I still recall the castle and that kiss
But here in California it's the bliss
That I'll remember from now on

Cause you bring out the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
And that's all right

I like the way you unlock my doors
And all the ways you leave me wanting more
I wonder can you tell I'm insecure
That you might find me and finally you can't deny me

Cause you are the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
And you don't mind the wild side of me
And that's all right

Suddenly the feelings that we know we can't reveal
Are trying to find their way into our conversation
But we know we can't go too far
If things are cool the way we are
But there's something tsaid for not saying the words

Cause you bring out the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
You are the wild side of me
And that's all right

I'll Be There Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Six in the morning been up all night talking
I'm still high from the shampoo
you used in your hair
Everyday seems brighter cause
I woke up beside you
I don't want to wake you cause
I'm screaming inside
I can't believe we're here at all
I'll be there when you call
There when you fall
Just like your favorite chair
I will always be there
You can bet win or lose
I'll be right there haunting you
For everything that you do
You know I'll be there for you
The light from the candle holding your hand so
You can feel what I am feeling for you
Cause your conversation is my stimulation
That's when my emotions start running wild
I see our shadows on the wall
I'll be there when you call
Be there when you fall
Just like the perfume you wear
that's how close I'll be there
You can be win or lose
I'll be right there haunting you
With everything that you do
You know I'll be there for you
Six in the morning been up all night talking
I'm still high from the feeling
That I've been feeling
All because I'm right here with you
I'll be there when you call
There when you fall
Just like your favorite chair
I will always be there
You can bet win or lose
I'll be right there haunting you
For everything that you do
You know I'll be there for you
I'll be there when you call
There when you fall
Just like the perfume you wear
That's how close I'll be there
You can bet win or lose
I'll be right there haunting you
With everything that you do
You know I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

A Thousand And One Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I'm speechless
I'm breathless
I'm pulseless
Kinda hanging on by a thin thread
I'm out there
I'm somewhere
Caught between a dream and the real thing

You ask me if this is something that I could forget about
No way
How could I forget you when you're stuck in my head?
Oh, come on

If I would die tonight and not come back again
I think I'd be fine if I could touch you
I know I told you I love you a thousand times
Here comes a thousand and one

I love you
I love you

I'm hopeless
I'm restless
It's useless
Kinda clinging on to this feeling
I'm feeling
I'm reeling
Stuck inside a trance
Am I mental?
I don't know if I can go another day of being alone
So come on

If I would die tonight and not come back again
I think I'd be alright if I could hold you
I know I told you I love you a thousand times
I know I told you I need you a thousand times
Here comes a thousand and one

I don't know if you understand
I'm more than your biggest fan
I want to take a hold of your right hand

I'm hopeless
I'm crazy
I'm crazy about you
I'm breathless
I'm pulseless
I can't live without you
It's useless
I know this
There's something about you
I'm mental
Be gentle
I can't live without you

So if I die tonight
Can I come back again?
To live inside your mind
Then I could touch you
I know I told you I need you a thousand times
I know I told you I want you a thousand times
I know I told you I love you a thousand times
Here comes a thousand and one

I love you
I love you

If You Were Mine Lyrics – Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

You're everything I dream about
You're everything I talk about
The one thing I can't live without
I wanna get closer to you
I can't stand being far away
Knowing that you don't feel the same way
Watching him bring tears to your eyes

[Chorus:]
If you were mine
I'd be your everything
You'd be the only thing
That I would ever need
If you were mine
I would tell everyone
You are the only one
That I could ever want

You're all the words I sing about
All the letters I write about
Anything I wanna hear about
So can I get closer to you
I know there is someone else
But he is only thinking of himself
Doesn't make any sense
For you to be lonely

[Chorus:]
If you were mine
I'd be your everything
You'd be the only thing
That I would ever need
If you were mine
I would tell everyone
You are the only one
I could ever want

Let me be the one to share
Your hopes and dreams with
You'll never be alone again
Cause I will hold you endlessly
Please don't be afraid
To let your broken heart guide you
Into these open arms
I long to surround you
Baby

[Chorus:]
If you were mine
I'd be your everything
You'd be the only thing
That I would ever need
If you were mine
I would tell everyone
You are the only one
I could ever want

Healing Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I used to pray for things that I don’t need
Trouble God with all my vanities
Used to pray for things that I shouldn’t want
I meant to give thanks, but I forgot

Now I pray for healing
I pray for peace
I pray for healing
For you and me

I used to pray that all my bills got paid
And that we'd get safely to the shows we played.
I used to think I didn't have enough...
Now I give because I know I have too much

And I pray for healing,
Oh God, send relief
I pray for healing
This time it's not for me

I used to pray my kids would grow up happy
Now I pray that they grow up at all
But I refuse to let these fears devour me
Cause I know it won’t be long
Before we’re standing tall again

I used to pray when things were not so fine
But now I find myself praying all the time
Now all the things that I used to pray for
Suddenly don’t mean a thing no more

Cause now I pray for healing
I pray for peace
I pray for healing for you
And for you
And for you
And for you
I pray for you
So pray for me
Pray for peace

Closer Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Cross my heart and hope to die
If I should ever let myself
Be used again
As an instrument of my destruction
It's like tearing apart
It's breaking my heart
For you to see this side of me
The things I try to my best to keep inside
Promises may get broken
But there's one thing that I know

I promise
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again

Lost my mind
Somewhere between the drive home
And the key that turns my peace to rage
You're somewhere caught in my contention
As I push you away
Though I want you to stay and see a different side of me

I'm screaming
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again

I don't want complication
Don't need this separation
No communication
When there's something wrong
Here I am
Come closer take my hand
I won't let nothing come between us

I promise
I promise
I'm screaming
I promise

I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again

I Have Just Begun To Live Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I lay down my head
Almost asleep
Tears in my eyes
Why should I weep
I know there's more
Where I am going now
Angels surround me and lead me back home

So if I should die before I wake
I pray dear God my soul he'll take
So don't you cry for my sake
When I am gone
Cause I have just begun to live my life
It's just my faith
Don't ask me why
Cause we're all just here for a time
And then we're gone
Looks like I'm moving on

As I close my eyes
That's when I see
It's not what you know
It's what you believe
And as the page turns
And this world gets the best of me
I hold to my faith
And let hope lead her way

So if I should die before I wake
I pray dear God my soul he'll take
So don't you cry upon my sake
When I am gone
Cause I have just begun to live
I will bravely pay the price
No counting tears or casting doubt
I'm going home

Cause I have just begun to see the signs
I see the light
In the corners of my mind
Parental tears I hear them crying
As the moment passes by
A beeping sound is slowing down
I feel the waves are breaking now
I call to shore and drift away

So if I should die before I wake
I pray dear God my soul he'll take
So don't you cry for my sake
When I am gone
Cause I have just begun to live my life
It's just my faith
Don't ask me why
Cause we're all just here for a time
And then we're gone
Cause I have just begun
I have just begun
I have just begun
I have just begun to live

She's The One Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

She makes me want to scream
She makes me want to shout her name
She makes me want to cry
Cause I know she feels the same for me
It's plain to see

She's the one
She's everything I need
She's the one
The star of all my dreams
She's the one
She takes my breath away yeah
She's the one

She makes me want to fly
When I can't go any higher
And it feels just like I'm dreaming sometimes
But I'm not the least bit tired
I'm wired
And every fear inside says

She's the one
She's everything I need
She's the one
The star of all my dreams
She's the one
She takes my breath away yeah
She's the one
And she leads me far away from here

I stopped looking
When you found me
I didn't have to think twice
Knew what I wanted
When I saw it
I knew she was the one

She's the one
She's the one

She makes me want to cry
She makes me lose control
And I'm far beyond defenseless
And I wonder if she knows
Does she know

She's the one
She's everything I need
She's the one
The star of all my dreams
She's the one
She takes my breath away yeah
She's the one
And she leads me far away from here

Let's Get Out Of Here Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

We walked in sat alone in a corner and faced the wall
Hiding behind the fear and shame
We talked but I just listened
She was sorry for it all
And that's how I found out my name
So I said

Why can't we talk it over?
It doesn't have to end this way
Don't you think I should have a say?
Can't we just talk it over?
I must not pay for your mistakes
Let's grab our things and leave this place
Let's get out of here

It's not that I blame you for the human that you are
Just for the faith that you don't have
And I know you told me a thousand times before
That it's the best thing for the both of us right now
But I say

Can't we just talk it over?
Why does it have to end this way?
It just seems I should have a say
Can't we just talk it over?
Don't make me pay for your mistakes
Let's grab our things and leave this place
Let's get out of here
Let's get out of here
What are we doing here?

Cause I just question your intentions and your reasons for it all
And shouldn't someone else be here with us or have you done this before
And pardon me for sound so insensitive to your feelings but I
I got feelings of my own and you're about to hurt them

So why can't we talk this over?
There must be something I can say
That just might make you change your mind
And after we talk things over
You'll see that we are not alone
Let's grab our things and blow this place
Let's get out of here

"Perception" (2005)

Could've Been With You Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Call me crazy, call me a fool
But I believe dreams that come true
'cause I found myself kissing you that night
While I gazed at you asleep
Dressed up in my ripped up jeans
I relived that memory tonight
That was the past, we didn't last
And somehow I know it was my fault
I lost my chance for your hand
Now I could just kick myself

Look at all the mess I've made
Look at all the games I've played
I think of all the time I've wasted
I could've been with you
Now all I do is just blame myself
Trash another nice hotel
Some nights it hurts like hell to know
That I could've been with you (something about you)
I could've been with you (can't live without you)

All my thoughts are filled with you
Thinking bout the chance I blew
Knowing what I wish I knew back then
I was stupid didn't wait
Now my mind is in a state
Of wondering what could've been
Now it's much too late
I should've called
I should've crawled
I should've done everything I could
This is pathetic I shouldn't have let it in
Now I could just kick myself

Look at all the tears I've shared
Look at all the years I spent
Lying in this lonely bed when
I could've been with you
Losing you was a big mistake
The pain is more than I can take
All the smiles I try to fake
But I could've been with you

'cause I remember everything you said
All went to my head
Now I'm missing you (missing you)
Wish I was kissing you (again)
I let you slip right through my hands
Like a thousand grains of sand
Now I can't stand where I stand with you now

All my wishes lie in vain
So I'm left here to take the pain
Of knowing that you can live without me
Now my heart is the one that's breaking
Chances I should've never taken
I should've known there was more at stake when
I could've been with you

Now look at the one who's crying
And part of me is always dying
Knowing I should've kept on trying
And I could've been with you (something about you)
I could've been with you (can't live without you)
Could've been with you (something about you)
Could've been with you (can't live without you)

Wild Side Of Me Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

It's been awhile since we hung out like this
I still recall the castle and that kiss
But here in California it's the bliss
That I'll remember from now on

Cause you bring out the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
And that's all right

I like the way you unlock my doors
And all the ways you leave me wanting more
I wonder can you tell I'm insecure
That you might find me and finally you can't deny me

Cause you are the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
And you don't mind the wild side of me
And that's all right

Suddenly the feelings that we know we can't reveal
Are trying to find their way into our conversation
But we know we can't go too far
If things are cool the way we are
But there's something tsaid for not saying the words

Cause you bring out the wild side of me
You bring out the wild side of me
You are the wild side of me
And that's all right

Bittersweet Sublime Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Guess you had to leave the old for something new
But don't apologize cause I realize you had to do what you had to do
I feel something's going on but how can I be sure?
I can hear the lies materialize as I visualize you lying on the bathroom floor
You see a figure walk across the room and then you close the door
You close the door

You had to be free of me to get your thrill
But I hate to be the one to spoil your fun but honey fun don't pay the bills
You got me spinning 'round like I'm a revolving door
Don't it ever cross his mind who's on the other line as you lay upon your bathroom floor?

You pain is bittersweet yet so sublime
It's getting hear the end can we rewind?
Your love is bittersweet yet so sublime
Sweet sublime

Can't you see my mellow's paper-thin?
And since the way you spend my days and nights inside the cell you've gone and left me in
But you tell me that you never lock the door
Don't you find it kind of odd how you play God right there while you're on your bathroom floor?

Your pain is bittersweet yet so sublime
It's getting near the end can we rewind?
Your love is bittersweet yet so sublime
Sweet sublime

I Still Believe In Love Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Ten years have passed and we're right where we were
Some things are better but so much is worse
I wonder sometimes if we're under a curse

What was once laughter has now turned to tears
And it seems not we're all just living in fear
And I can't help wondering how we here, so far

But I still believe
I still believe in love

So much has happened and so much has changed
But then again I guess it's more of the same
And we have got only ourselves to blame

I think of what life will be like years from now
I hope things get better but I can't see how
When all of the lines that we've crossed can't be found nowhere

But I still believe
I still believe in love

Yes I still believe
I still believe that God is the one who has made us
And got is the one who can save us
But God is the one we're afraid of believing

While all the world just keeps on fighting
All of out children keep dying
But I believe love just keeps trying to lead

But I still believe
I still believe in love
Yes I still believe
I still believe in love

A Thousand And One Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I'm speechless
I'm breathless
I'm pulseless
Kinda hanging on by a thin thread
I'm out there
I'm somewhere
Caught between a dream and the real thing

You ask me if this is something that I could forget about
No way
How could I forget you when you're stuck in my head?
Oh, come on

If I would die tonight and not come back again
I think I'd be fine if I could touch you
I know I told you I love you a thousand times
Here comes a thousand and one

I love you
I love you

I'm hopeless
I'm restless
It's useless
Kinda clinging on to this feeling
I'm feeling
I'm reeling
Stuck inside a trance
Am I mental?
I don't know if I can go another day of being alone
So come on

If I would die tonight and not come back again
I think I'd be alright if I could hold you
I know I told you I love you a thousand times
I know I told you I need you a thousand times
Here comes a thousand and one

I don't know if you understand
I'm more than your biggest fan
I want to take a hold of your right hand

I'm hopeless
I'm crazy
I'm crazy about you
I'm breathless
I'm pulseless
I can't live without you
It's useless
I know this
There's something about you
I'm mental
Be gentle
I can't live without you

So if I die tonight
Can I come back again?
To live inside your mind
Then I could touch you
I know I told you I need you a thousand times
I know I told you I want you a thousand times
I know I told you I love you a thousand times
Here comes a thousand and one

I love you
I love you

Closer Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Cross my heart and hope to die
If I should ever let myself
Be used again
As an instrument of my destruction
It's like tearing apart
It's breaking my heart
For you to see this side of me
The things I try to my best to keep inside
Promises may get broken
But there's one thing that I know

I promise
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again

Lost my mind
Somewhere between the drive home
And the key that turns my peace to rage
You're somewhere caught in my contention
As I push you away
Though I want you to stay and see a different side of me

I'm screaming
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again

I don't want complication
Don't need this separation
No communication
When there's something wrong
Here I am
Come closer take my hand
I won't let nothing come between us

I promise
I promise
I'm screaming
I promise

I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again

I Have Just Begun To Live Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I lay down my head
Almost asleep
Tears in my eyes
Why should I weep
I know there's more
Where I am going now
Angels surround me and lead me back home

So if I should die before I wake
I pray dear God my soul he'll take
So don't you cry for my sake
When I am gone
Cause I have just begun to live my life
It's just my faith
Don't ask me why
Cause we're all just here for a time
And then we're gone
Looks like I'm moving on

As I close my eyes
That's when I see
It's not what you know
It's what you believe
And as the page turns
And this world gets the best of me
I hold to my faith
And let hope lead her way

So if I should die before I wake
I pray dear God my soul he'll take
So don't you cry upon my sake
When I am gone
Cause I have just begun to live
I will bravely pay the price
No counting tears or casting doubt
I'm going home

Cause I have just begun to see the signs
I see the light
In the corners of my mind
Parental tears I hear them crying
As the moment passes by
A beeping sound is slowing down
I feel the waves are breaking now
I call to shore and drift away

So if I should die before I wake
I pray dear God my soul he'll take
So don't you cry for my sake
When I am gone
Cause I have just begun to live my life
It's just my faith
Don't ask me why
Cause we're all just here for a time
And then we're gone
Cause I have just begun
I have just begun
I have just begun
I have just begun to live

How Does It Feel Coming Down Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I see you found out what real class is
Bottle of Merlot and a pair of glasses
Who can be the one to get drunk the fastest
But what you didn't understand is that

You down one and you're feeling cool
But too many swigs and you act a fool
Rattle off things that you never knew
But they didn't listen anyway, yeah

Thought you were the mountain king
Waiting real still for the phone to ring
But you blocked 'em all with your attitude
You were the one who put the "R" in rude and
Underneath you're screaming loud
But everyone else can't hear a sound

Where will you be
When no one believes and
How does it feel coming down

Thought you were needed
Now you can't believe it
How does it feel coming down

You walked tall with your posse in tact
Had a good thing as a matter of fact
Until you realized that you broke the pact
That you never really meant at all

That's when you noticed it was falling to pieces
And it was up to you to bend down and reach in
But you were too busy having fun and cheating
Living off the memories

And that didn't last too long and it doesn't spend
Bills piled up and it never ends
Past creeps up by the day to haunt you
Your fair-weather friends still like to flaunt you
And inside you're afraid to show
What everybody else already knows

Where will you be
When no one is screaming
And how does it feel coming down

We've all been here waiting
And now you're deflating
How does it feel coming down
To the ground

And there you go again
Alienating another friend that
Would've been there 'til the end
Now you don't know where to begin and

All the people that you once used
Want you to know how it feels in their shows
So they'll be there just to watch you fall
And take a good look at how a walk becomes a crawl

Wide awake and sleeping
High all day and drinking
While the time is speeding away

Where will you be
When no one's believing
What will you do
When they see right through you
And where will you go
When all they'll want to know is
How does it feel coming down

Say Hello To My Little Friend Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Since we met
We have been as thick as thieves
And you could bet
When they say you then they saw me
Not far away
Probably holding down the beat
To your licks
Cause that's the way we told them it has to be

So say hello
To my little friend
Where he goes
I'll be right there til the end
So say hello
To the closest bestest friend I ever had
And I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do without you

Remember when
We took off with that one band
All the gigs
And all the miles we put on that van
And radio
Trivia would pass the time
Little did we know
Those would be some of the best times of our lives

So say hello
To my little friend
Where he goes
I'll be right there til the end
So say hello
To the closest bestest friend I ever had
And I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do without you

Back and forth to Wesiana
Crossing the great Huck Fin
Pack a bag we'll meet at 5AM
And do it all again

Now here we are
Living all those dreams we talked about
We never though we'd get this far
And if I could not do it with you
I'd do without

So say hello
To my little friend
Where he goes
I'll be right there til the end
So say hello
To the closest bestest friend I ever had
And I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do without you

So say hello
To my little friend
Where he goes
I'll be right there til the end
So say hello
To the closest bestest friend I ever had
And I don't know where I'd go
Or what I'd do without you

Reminds Me Of You Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

There's a moment of each night
That I can finally close my eyes
And honestly not think of you
Then the moment passes by
And there I am left to lie
Quietly inside my tune

I used to think that life goes on
But right now I'm not so sure

I don't know why, everywhere I go now, just reminds me of you
I don't know why, everything I see now, just reminds me of you
Just reminds me of you, just reminds me of you
Everything reminds ms of you, everything reminds me of you, everything reminds me of you

In my heart there lies a space
That you can see a mile a while
That I've been trying my best to fill
My endeavor is in vain, so I conceded to the pain
Knowing she can come and go at will
Taking more than I can take
There's no more heart left there to break

I don't know why, everywhere I go now, just reminds me of you
I don't know why, everything I see now, just reminds me of you
Just reminds me of you
Everything reminds ms of you

I don't know why, every road I go down, just reminds me of you
I don't know why, everywhere I turn now, I just keep finding you
I can't hide from you, everything reminds me of you
I'm confined in you
I'm in a bind cause of you
I'm just a mind game to you
Intertwined in you
I lost my mind because of you
Must of ??? cause of you
Peace of mind with you
Everything reminds me of you
Everything reminds me of you

She's The One Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

She makes me want to scream
She makes me want to shout her name
She makes me want to cry
Cause I know she feels the same for me
It's plain to see

She's the one
She's everything I need
She's the one
The star of all my dreams
She's the one
She takes my breath away yeah
She's the one

She makes me want to fly
When I can't go any higher
And it feels just like I'm dreaming sometimes
But I'm not the least bit tired
I'm wired
And every fear inside says

She's the one
She's everything I need
She's the one
The star of all my dreams
She's the one
She takes my breath away yeah
She's the one
And she leads me far away from here

I stopped looking
When you found me
I didn't have to think twice
Knew what I wanted
When I saw it
I knew she was the one

She's the one
She's the one

She makes me want to cry
She makes me lose control
And I'm far beyond defenseless
And I wonder if she knows
Does she know

She's the one
She's everything I need
She's the one
The star of all my dreams
She's the one
She takes my breath away yeah
She's the one
And she leads me far away from here

Better Side of Me Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I wasn't myself
There for a while
There was a tear in my half smile
That you could see a mile away

I had to change
I didn't mind
Truth is it was about time
And there was no way I was
Losing you

So I want you to know
I'm gonna show
The better side of me

I want you to see
The man underneath
The better side of me

Come look inside
You're gonna find
The better part of me

I'm not the same
Person you knew
The one that used to hurt you
I had to leave him far behind

So it's safe to fall
Into my arms
Knowing I will catch you
Cause I want to give you
Peace of mind

So wherever we go
I'm gonna show
The better side of me

I want you to be
The first one to see
The better side of me

Looking in my eyes
And there you will find
The better part of me

And I just want to apologize for wasting so much time
When all along I knew that there was only
You for me

So from this moment on
You can hold on
To the better side of me

You can believe
That you're gonna see
The better side of me

Deep in your eyes
That's where I find
The better part of me

Give Her What She Wants Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Had a bad day
But don't walk away
Gotta stop gotta stay
She's waiting for you

All the lies
All the times
That she sat and watched you cry
What if she turned her back on you

Give her what she wants
What she needs
All her hopes and all her dreams
Give her what she asks for
When she's hard to understand

Cause she just wants to please you
And show you that she needs you
So talk to her all the time
And don't run from her feelings
When she shows that she's in love
With you

It's hard
To say
Why you always back away
From her love
And her heart
It's time
You start

To see her pain
When you chase
Those girls with the pretty face
That's far
From love
You'll miss the girl
She was

What she takes
What you break
You make her pay for your mistakes
Gotta see
Gotta know
Gotta love
Gotta hold her tight
Gotta treat her right brother

And you're far away from home
She's sitting there all alone
All you gotta do is pick up the phone

Give her what she wants
What she needs
All her hopes and all her dreams
Give her what she asks for
When she's hard to understand

Cause she just wants to please you
And show you that she needs you
So talk to her all the time
And don't run from her feelings
When she shows that she's in love
With you

Honestly girl

Gotta be
Gotta see
She believes
Gotta practice what you preach
Gotta dig down deep

Gotta see
Gotta know
Gotta love
Gotta hold her tight
Gotta treat her right brother

Give her what she wants
What she needs
All her hopes and all her dreams
Give her what she asks for
When she's hard to understand

Cause she just wants to please you
And show you that she needs you
So talk to her all the time
And don't run from her feelings
When she shows that she's in love
With you

Redemption Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I've seen the shadows
Of the corners of my mind
And I go there all the time
Am I missing what I might like

I've tasted sin
And it knocked my off my feet
Like a girl I should not meet
But, oh it tasted sweet
To me

And it turned me around
Now I can't hear the sound of my soul

Right where I am
I'm going crazy
Right where I am
I've gone too far
Right where I stand
I plead my case to you
I need redemption

I felt the darkness
Of the places I have been
Things I should not have seen
Now there's nothing left to believe

My innocence
Is something of my past
Guess I knew it would not last
I was chosen by this path
To live

And it turned me around
Now I can't hear the cry of my soul

Right where I am
I hope you'll save me
Right where I am
Have I gone too far
Right where I stand
I hide my face from you
I need redemption

Right where I am
I can't explain how
I got where I am
I am not so proud
Right where I stand
I need to face this truth
I need redemption

I've seen the end
Of all my tears
I'll waste not another day on this
And in the end

I've seen the shadows
Of the corners of my mind
Now I can't hear the cry

Right where I am
I'm going crazy
Right where I am
I've gone too far
Right where I stand
I plead my case to you
I need redemption

Right where I am
I'm going crazy
Right where I am
I've gone too far
Right where I am
I hope you'll save me

I Was Never Here Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

And she just walked away
With nothing else to say
Like I was never here

She said her last goodbye
And kept her tears inside
As if I was never here

And she just looks the same
Like any other day
You wouldn't even know
You couldn't even tell
That I was ever here

I can't say that I'm the same
But I don't think she's fazed
Like I was never here

While I can't sleep a wink
She hasn't missed a beat
Like I was never there

When I was what she needed the most
And she was feeling all alone
Those days and memories
Have seemed to have come and gone
As if I was never here

And she just seems the same
Like nothing ever changed
And I'm still standing here

With so much left to say
But she just walked away
Like I was never here

Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me) Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money
And that's real good because I don't got alot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'

She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch to much t.v.

And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
But if she really wants to go
I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when

She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in "Fargo"
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again

And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Gazing at the ceiling
as we entertain our feelings in the dark
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us
what we're made of in the end

She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavarotti
Or because I am such a hottie
I like her for her
Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see

She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Hairy
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
Unlike the Cable Guy
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Found her once again
I'm so glad I found her once again
On again

Storybook Life Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls (feat. 3XL)

Said to myself, I'm the man I got a pocket full of money
Certs in my mouth in case my breath gets kinda funky
I saw this hottie staring right at me
She kinda looks like that chick that did that video with Tommy Lee
Oh man is she coming over? I gotta...
Get this show on the road yea yea yea
She said "Where have I seen you before
And if you didn't like that one well I got about 20 more
I need a mack diggedy daddy, ta take me out in his caddy
And we can kick it till the briggedy briggedy break a dawn"
I said "It sounds like fun, but I ain't widdit"
"But if you're a good boy I just might let you uhh-ummm"
"Hold my hand because I ain't about the wham bam thank you ma'am
I hope ya understand that..."

I don't want Britney tonight
And Salma, yea she's alright
And I've seen Buffy and she don't slay me
Cause baby you're just the type
I'll stay up and talk to all night
Would you be the star in my storybook life
My storybook life

I drove her home and she was feeling kinda frisky
I told her nighty night and then she asked if she could kiss me
She said, "Don't you wanna spend the night".
And then she bit me on the ear I felt like I was in a Tyson fight
Oh God she's losin' control now...So I said...
I just want someone to hold, yea yea yea

Mariah, she ain't for me
That brunette on V.I.P.
She don't hold a candle to you
Cause baby you're just the type
I'll stay up and talk to all night
Would you be the star in my storybook life

Baby you're just the type
I can talk to all night
Be the star in my storybook life

Sabrina, Felicity
Meg Ryan, I won't lose sleep
You can keep your Halle Berry
Cause baby you're just the type
For this show "Mrs. Right"
You can be the star in my storybook life
In my storybook life
This is my storybook life

That's The Girl I've Been Telling You About Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I don't know what I was thinking when I seen her
I just had to find a way I could meet her
Cause I've been dying for the chance just to treat her
Like the ripe little peach she is
Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her
But she could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her
I don't know her but I know that I need her
And I don't think she's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been spinning in my head like a revolving door
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revovles around her
I don't even think she knows how she moves me
I can't explain it but she does something to me
If she ever looked she'd see right through me
And I don't think that I could keep my cool
I could tell her that I want to get to know her
Take her the places that I'd really like to show her
But I hear she's got somebody and he loves her
And I don't think he's got a notion but
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been living in y head like a recurring dream
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revolves around her
She lives in my head from the start of my day til the night
And every word that she says I'm hanging onto so tight
That's the girl I've been telling you about
Ain't she everything I said could you need much more
She's got it going on and I never want to be without her
That's the girl I've been telling you about
She's been reigning in my head like a pouring storm
Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revovles around her
Like a soul in the wind I've been lost since the day I found her
What I'd give to be everything she needs like the air around her
Got my arms open wide wish she knew they belong around her

I Believe (Punky Irie Remix) Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way

Standing At The Edge Of The Earth Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly
I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside
Are you searching for words that you can't find
Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie
Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye
So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that someday you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday
Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say
I don't want to let you leave this way
I want you to know that I stand right by your side
And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll....
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday
And I know this may be
The very last time that we see each other cry
But whatever happens know that I'll....
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping that one day you'll come back again
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday
You'll come back to me
I'll be praying for whatever it's worth
Believing that one day you'll come back to me
I'll be standing at the edge of the earth
Hoping for someday
Waiting for someday Believing in someday
Praying for someday, I'll be....
Longing for someday Clinging to someday
Cherishing someday, I'll be....
Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday
Wishing for someday, I'll be....
Living for someday Counting on someday
Knowing that one day....
I will see you

Brother My Brother Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
We can try
Brother my brother

We face each other from different sides
The anger burns can't remember why
It's kindof crazy to cause so much pain
Our foolish pride makes us hate this way

We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Yes
We can try
Brother my brother
Yes

Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we'll learn to give love a try
When matters differ as we seem to be
There's so much more to me than what you see

You don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Brother my brother
Tell me what are fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother

Light In Your Eyes Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our "I love you's" were just not enough to survive
Something your eyes never told me
But it's only now too plain to see
Brilliant disguise when you hold me
And I'm free
I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude
Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use
But how could I have known girl
It was time and not space you would need
Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know
But would you believe
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
There's a place in your heart where I used to be
Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you
Constant reminder of all the things you get used to
Is there a chance in hell or heaven
That there's still something here to build on
Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall
But after all
There's a light in your eyes that I used to see
And a song in the words that you spoke to me
Was I wrong to believe in your melody
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me
Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away
Fading away
It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been
Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send
I tried to call your old number
But the voice that I heard on the phone
I recognized but she told me the number was wrong
There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
There's a light in your eyes
Did you leave that light burning for me

Let Me Be The One Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand
Well I don't make a promise I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good friend

In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming of

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one

We spend all our time together
We can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for now
I miss you before you're gone

All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)
Every moment we spend goes by too fast
Darling Darling take this chance with me
Cause I have eyes only for you
Oh baby

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one
For you

Don't be scared to show your feelings
Cause baby I do understand
And I don't make promises that I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good man

Oh Virginia Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Here's my chance to say thank you to a place where
All my memories are fond and an essence of my heart
Waiting there with open arms
There's Melissa full of charm
How I miss her so, she's such a sight of love down in

Oh Virginia down the higway to 64
East way to Newport News
There you'll find an open door in
Oh Virginia all my friends are there to greet me
Just a smile down 64 along the open road

At the Patton Hotel I spent lots of time there
That's where we decided this is where we wanted to be
And down the road on Jefferson you'll find Steamer's close by
If you see Mark and Steve Breen
Tell 'em Jeff and I both said "hi"

But we were younger then never knowing then
That she would take us as her own
And make us part of her life
Highway to the sun we had so much fun
I can't wait to get there and tell 'em that I miss my second home

Oh Virginia down the way we'll be there in no time
Oh Virginia just a ride down 64
Oh Virginia I can see those signs from here
Oh Virginia 25 miles to Hampton Roads

We got friends in Yorktown we got friends in Williamsburg
We got friends in Newport News
We want all of y'all from Portsmouth sing
We got friends in Bluefield we got friends in Richmond
We got friends in Hampton Roads
And down by the beach let me hear everybody, yeah

I Wanna Be There Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Won't you let me catch your fall
Won't you let me lend a hand
Those lonely eyes have seen it all
But love's too blind to understand

Cause you don't know what you have
Til your everything is gone
You need someone to show you how to live again

I wanna be there when you're feeling high
I wanna be there when you wanna die
I'm gonna light your fire
Gonne feel your flame
I wanna be there when you go insane
I wanna be there when you're feeling' down
And I'll be there when your head is spinnin' round
Gonna be your lover
Gonna be your friend
I wanna be there til the end

You wouldn't know that I was there
Cause I have been there all the time
And if I had my way I'd hold you in my arms
And leave this madness all behind

Cause you got so much to give
But you throw it all away
And all you got to show for who you are is pain

And I've got so much to give
If you'd only let me in
I'm gonna take the time to show you I'm a friend
You'll believe in love again

I wanna be there in the pouring rain
I wanna be there when you call my name
I'm gonna light your fire
Gonna feel your flame
I wanna be there when you go insane
II wanna be there when I'm outta town
And when your whole damn world is crashing down
I'm gonna be your lover
Gonna be your friend
I wanna be there til the end
Cause you don't know what you have
Til your everything is gone
You need someone to show you how to live again

And I've got so much to give
If you'd only let me in
I'm gonna take the time to show you I'm a friend
You'll believe again

I wanna be there when your baby cries
I wanna be there when they tell you lies
I'm gonna light your fire
Gonna feel your flame
I wanna be there when you go insane
I wanna be there when your nights are long
And when you're feeling like you don't belong
Gonna be your lover
Gonna be your friend
Gonna be there til the end

I'm gonna be there in the morning
I'm gonna be there in the night
I'm gonna be there to make you strong when
you're tired
I'm gonne be there when you want me
I wanna be there when you don't
Gonna be your lover
Gonna be your friend
Gonna be there til the end

All Along Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Precious memories are clear before my eyes
I can hear your voice calling out my name
But I don't know you now, nothing stays the same

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself

If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide
To that special place I help for you deep inside
I've kept good company since you've been away
Lonely stayed with me with pride began to fade

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself

And I will follow you til the end of time
Til our love is at the end of the line
You rolled out of my life just like the wind
And left behind a broken heart

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself

Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me) (Live Version) Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money
And that's real good because I don't got alot to spend
But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin'

She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions
And the tears upon the pillow that I shed

She don't care about my big screen
Or my collection of DVD's
Things like that just never mattered much to her
Plus she don't watch to much t.v.

And she don't care that I can fly her
To places she ain't never been
But if she really wants to go
I think deep down she knows that
All she has to say is when

She likes me for me
Not because I hang with Leonardo
Or that guy who played in "Fargo"
I think his name is Steve
She's the one for me
And I just can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again

And I'm so glad I found her once again
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Gazing at the ceiling
as we entertain our feelings in the dark
The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us
what we're made of in the end

She likes me for me
Not because I sing like Pavarotti
Or because I am such a hottie
I like her for her
Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford
She has got so much to offer
Why does she waste all her time with me
There must be something there that I don't see

She likes me for me
Not because I'm tough like Dirty Hairy
Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
Unlike the Cable Guy
But what she sees
Is that I can't live without her
My arms belong around her
And I'm so glad I found her once again
Found her once again
I'm so glad I found her once again
On again

I Believe Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see

I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer

Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way

"Walking Off The Buzz" (1999)

The Last Day Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

See the outline of the frames
Of where the pictures used to be
Closets full of clothes are empty
Now this mess belongs to me
Leaving me room for all the baggage
I've been keeping locked inside
I said I'd get over her, but I lied....
Yesterday, she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day, I was doin' fine
But yesterday was the last day of my life
Every minute I'm alone I watch the phone
I can't believe
It's so pathetic how my imagination
Gets the best of me
Maybe I'll phone her up, won't act grown up
Then she'll hang up the line
Now I'll just have to get a life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
She said it was the best for both of us
The other day I was doin' fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
The day before, I was feelin' fine
Yesterday was the last day of my life
Why did I doubt her (Yesterday)
I'm better without her (Yesterday)
Yesterday she walked out of my life
There she goes
If she don't care why the hell should I
yesterday was the best day of my life
Yesterday she walked out of my life
If she don't care, why the hell should I
Yesterday was the best day of my....
Yesterday was the best day of my life....

Stone Glass Window Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

Was conceived outta nuthin'
Always be what I've been
If I focus the real world
One day I might tune it in
Do I have to shout, Do I have to wave a gun
hide my head from the sun screamin' someone anyone
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Tell me why why if you bleed, I'm the one that's gotta bleed
Got me fiendin' for the need to say hey look at me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
I'm looking for something more than this
Can't see out my stone glass window
Pick me up in your dream life
Wrap me up in your gold
Tease me just like a dog needs a bone
Then throw me out in the cold
Ah....It's time to make a choice but I'm afraid to make some noise
When I hear the silent voice and the voice is telling me
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Cause I'm a man on the run, do I have to wave a gun
Will I end up like the rest where the rest sleep eternally
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
I'm looking for something more than this
Can't sleep on this concrete pillow
I'm looking for something better than this
I'm slipping back to the low....
I'm going down
In my head is the sound
It's the voice of no one....
I'm looking for something more than this
Can't see out my stone glass window
Tehre's gotta be something better that this
I'm slipping back to the low....

If She Couldn't Sleep Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

As I lie awake in the other room
I could probably stay awake til noon time
So frustrating knowing what could be
What's even worse is she used to belong to me
As I toss and turn there's nothing I can do
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh, no If she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself maybe she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, I wish she couldn't sleep
8AM and she's not at home
Stayed out all night wonder if she's all alone or
With someone new and she won't even call
To ease my mind just to help me break the fall
Now I'm feeling all the things I put her through
But if she couldn't sleep maybe we could make up
But I just can't seem to wake her up this time
Oh, no if she couldn't sleep
I know she'd tell herself that she might need
A little time to stop her heart from bleeding so
Like me, but I guess she's doing fine
I wonder if she knows she's on my mind

South Hampton Avenue Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

She lies in bed out of her head sucking a cigarette
Closing her eyes she really tries to make believe she's dead
But she's not
She's not
In the next tomb her old man's room it's another night
He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light
Yea it's on
But he's gone

We live on South Hampton Avenue
We'll leave the welcome light on for you
Now that you think you know who we are
How do you like us so far

Right down the stairs my mom is there under the mushroom cloud
Sometimes she sits sometimes she knits sometimes she talks out loud
To herself
She's allowed

Hanging on the wall up and down the hall pictures of family
My brother Dave is on display for all the world to see
Now he's gone
He moved on

We live on South Hampton Avenue
I've got a feelin' that so do you...

What Have I Got To Lose Lyrics – Blessid Union of Souls

I started to write you a letter the other day
Didn't know exactly what I was going to say
And at the last minute I threw it all away
Cause I didn't think you1d read it anyway
And I'm the kind of man who1s glass is half full
But I'm a bit torn from the strings you pulled
And since I already felt a bit abused
I thought to myself
What have I got to lose
Cause I can't fall much further down
And look what I've got to win
If you would only hear my heart

Yesterday I actually tried calling
But that was after six days and six nights of stalling
And I thought about everything that we've been through
All the different places that we went to
The times we hurt each other, sometimes we meant to
Trying to make up with flowers that I sent you
But now I'm at the crossroads and it's time to choose
And I guess I just figured, what the hell...

What have I got to lose
Cause I've already come this far
And look what I've got to win
If you would only search my heart and see what's deep inside

Don't want to go to sleep cause I don't want to dream
I always wake up with tears it seems
Can't blame it on you so it must be me
I'll beg for forgiveness if that's what I need to do

Cause I ain't got nothing to lose
I've lost the one thing missing from my life
But look what I1ve got to win
If only I can get you to hear my heart
What have I got to lose
When all I've lost is the everything that I need
And look what I've got to win
If you'll only listen, listen to my heart
