Into Your Eyes

I’ve never felt the way I do,
girl, when I’m with you.
I’ve never seen a light so bright it made me blind.
I’ve never felt so free
as I do when you’re with me.
Simply put I’m yours, delivered, sealed, and signed.
~~~
But I can’t describe what goes on inside;
how every ounce of darkness dies
from that light above when I fall in love.
Everything feels right when I look into your eyes.
~~~
It’s never been this way before:
each day I love you even more,
and everyday, girl, I’ve got to try harder to keep my cool.
I feel the blood rush through my veins;
I feel the butterflies lift their wings.
Girl, I’ve got no pulse ‘cuz my heart goes out to you.
~~~
And I try to hide what goes on inside,
and at the same time try to make you realize
that I’m not that tough, and I fall in love
Everytime that I look into your eyes
~~~
Girl in simplest words you’re a miracle;
something that I can’t explain.
You’re the sun shining bright; you’re a moonlit night;
you’re a sweet, sweet summer rain.
The only thing that never leaves my mind;
no matter where I am, you’re there.
I want to be your guy, but you wonder why
all that I can do is stare…
~~~
Maybe I won’t reach the promised land.
Maybe I won’t get to hold your hand.
Maybe this song that I wrote for you won’t ever make it gold.
And girl, I’m sure that I’ll survive
without you in my life,
but are you really alive if all you ever feel is cold?
~~~
And that’s the reason why I’ve just got to try.
And if you turn me away I’ll break down and cry
‘cuz I’m not that tough, and I fall in love.
Everything feels right when I look into your eyes.

Amazin'
03:30

Everytime I see you walking down the halls at school,
I get frozen in my toes and I don’t know what to do.
I try to find the words to tell you, girl, what’s on my mind,
but every time I start to get ahead I fall behind.
~~~
There’s no point in tryin’ to deny it:
Girl, I’m falling fast.
I may not be the first to tell you, but I
Sure hope I’m the last:
~~~
Chorus: I can’t stop looking at you I’m gazin’;
you’re super hot, you’re like blazin’;
Your picture in my mind just stays in;
I think about the hell we could be raisin’.
I sing “Hallelujah!” like praisin’
every time I see your pretty face and
you electrify me like tasin’:
Oh girl, you’re amazin’.
~~~
There’s so many words that you can use to say she’s fine.
You want to tell her how you feel, but don’t want to cross that line.
And so you write the prefect words for her you’ve got no doubt,
but when your eyes meet hers, the words just don’t come out.
~~~
But don’t mess your pants, you’ve still got a chance
with Jen or Kate or Liz.
Just walk right up to her next time,
and tell it like it is:
~~~
Chorus
~~~
Some guys think that the prefect girl must have
big money, tight fitting jeans, blonde hair and eyes of blue.
Apparently, they’re never seen
anybody quite like Y-O-U.

What You Do
03:30
|
|||
|
I don’t want to write a poem with fancy lines,
‘cuz no damn word can properly define my love for you.
I don’t want to write a love song just like this,
‘cuz I can’t sing when we kiss and I show you my love for you.
~~~
There’s no use in trying to explain the way I feel.
All that I can say is you’re the girl of my dreams:
I’m so glad that you’re so real.
~~~
Chorus: Girl, you pull my trigger like a shotgun.
To me you’re a 10, and I know that you’re the one,
because that’s what you do to my heart.
The way you hold me close, you push away my fears.
For just a day with you, I’d give a thousand years,
because that’s what you do to my heart.
~~~
You’re making me go crazy and baby, you should know,
oh, you make my heart go.
~~~
I guess you got a thing for sharks, but I don’t care,
because the greatness of a Great White couldn’t compare to my love for you.
I love your cute toenails and your dark brown dress, but know that
nothing physical could contest my love for you.
~~~
I don’t care if it’s raining outside and we don’t do a single thing all day.
As long as I’m with you girl, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
~~~
Chorus
~~~
You’ve got a hold on me, and baby don’t ever let go,
oh, you make my heart go.

Must Be
02:54
|

|
I must be going crazy; only way I can explain the way I
feel about you baby, oh, you’re looking so amazing with your
hair down, all around, turn that smile upside-down I’m
sad when you leave, so don’t ever leave girl.
You know that I will follow you like there is no tomorrow
if you want to be alone, I will just call you on the phone because
it is plain to see, girl, that you are the one for me and when my
day is turning crappy, only you can make me happy and
I would give the world for you, no matter what I have to do.
In fact, you are my Lois Lane; I wanna be your Superman.
~~~
Chorus: I’m so crazy ‘bout you baby.
There must be something wrong with me.
Doin’ things I’d never do
because I’m so in love with you.
That must be why you’re so in love with me.
~~~
Girl, you’re such a hottie; chop my heart just like karate so I’m
Doing all I can to get an Arnold Schwarzenegger body.
I run a million miles, girl, you know it’s not my style, but it’s
always worth the while, if I get to see you smile. And I’m
working on my grip ‘cuz I don’t want to let you slip and I just
got to let know; don’t want to ever let you go because you’re
sweet as sugar; so divine; smart as Albert Einstein;
curious as Peter Pan, and like that girl from Wonderland
you’re clever and you’re witty; never seen a girl so pretty.
Let’s roll out; your body rocks **Eat your heart out, Megan Fox**
~~~
Chorus
~~~
It really is amazing what I’d do to make you hang with me like
after school or at the pool as long as I’m with you it’s cool.
I’d write a song like this, or give you just a little kiss I’d get down
on my knees and beg for you: I’d do it if you asked me to.
I’d cut off all my hair, run around in my underwear and hey, I
might look like a fool but that’s what love can do to you. It’s just so
hard to figure out because you’re all I think about and when I’ve
got you on my brain, I just might do something insane if I
think that it will make you love me as much as I can’t get enough of you.
~~~
Chorus

Slow Dance
03:11
|
|||
|
When I was a young boy, before I knew you,
I just couldn’t wait to grow old:
Stay up late; no hesitate; go a million miles an hour
with no particular place to go.
~~~
But since then I’ve found a direction.
I’ve found out where I really belong.
I don’t need money, honey, or to go around the world,
I just need you next to me all night long.
~~~
Chorus: Some people want fast cars, so they can pass ours
as we are driving underneath sunny blue skies.
They’re going too fast to see anything, especially what’s
right in front of their eyes.
There’s no need for a rush, girl I love you too much.
All that I want to do is slow dance with you.
~~~
There’s too many people out there in the world
who live like the end is near:
They go crazy searching for something to hold on to
while I hold your hand right here.
~~~
All the time that I’ll need is time spent with you.
No need for a big commotion.
So let’s shoot for the stars; let’s travel to Mars
where everything moves in slow motion.
~~~
Chorus
~~~
Some people want love songs, so they can sing along
but girl, I don’t need to make a sound.
If you understand girl, just take my hand, girl.
Come along with me and we’ll leave this town.
Don’t need no gift from above, I’ve got you and your love.
All that I want to do is slow dance with you.
~~~
The thing that I love to do is slow dance with you.

Stand Still
03:57
|
|||
|
As I lay here, and I look into your eyes
I see eternity, the question burns in me
how to stay here forevermore
and never leave your side, oh yes, I wonder why
I’ve never wanted anything more than this:
the smell of your perfume and the taste of your kiss;
the feeling of your fingertips as they entangle mine.
Oh, what I wouldn’t give to just freeze time…
~~~
Chorus: No, I don’t want no slow motion, ‘cuz it takes too long
I don’t want no fast forward, ‘cuz that’s not where we belong
I don’t want no rewind, ‘cuz I already know what happened and what will.
I just wish that time would stand still.
~~~
Could you promise me that we’d feel the same way
a million years from now, if we survived somehow?
Because honestly, the boundaries of this life
could not contain my love, there’s just not time enough.
Everything that I’ve ever done has been for this:
the smell of your perfume, and the taste of your kiss.
But I ain’t just some cowboy, and this ain’t just some fling.
Girl, I ain’t gonna blink ‘cuz I son’t wanna miss a thing.
~~~
Chorus
