Take My Breath Away

TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

(Berlin)

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Take My Breath Away was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock and performed by the band Berlin for the film Top Gun in 1986.

Never Gonna Let You Go

NEVER GONNA LET YOU GO

(Sergio Mendes)

I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm livin'

But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word
And tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

Chorus:
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

Looking back now
It seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh you gave it all
And I took it for granted

But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flickers of love
That still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances

Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

(Chorus)

Oh..So if you'll just say
You want me too.

Never Gonna Let You Go is a song from 1983 credited to Sergio Mendes and sung by Joe Pizzulo.

What Do We Mean to Each Other

WHAT DO WE MEAN TO EACH OTHER

(Sergio Mendes/Joe Pizzulo)

I'd rather know if you had turned the page
If you go faster than I do
Suddenly it's not so clear just what I am to you
Am I friend, am I lover, do we still need each other
When you touch me, when you touch me baby I can tell

What do we mean to each other, am I friend, am I lover is it over now
If this is it then why bother tell me where do we take it from here
What do we mean to each other am I friend ,am I lover, is it over now
Do you love me still or do you just mean well

I can see clearly how I'm hurting you
Every breath gives you a way
All we go on separate roads has gone in the way.
Am I friend, am I lover, do we still need each other
When you hold me, when you hold me baby I can tell

What do we mean to each other, am I friend, am I lover is it over now
If this is it then why bother tell me where do we take it from here
What do we mean to each other am I friend ,am I lover, is it over now
Do you love me still or do you just mean well

Time became a poison looking slowly on my home
Screwing all the memories, Is it tearing us apart
When you touch me, when you touch me baby I can tell

What do we mean to each other, am I friend, am I lover is it over now
If this is it then why bother tell me where do we take it from here
What do we mean to each other am I friend ,am I lover, is it over now
Do you love me still or do you just mean well

What do we mean to each other, am I friend, am I lover is it over now
If this is it then why bother tell me where do we take it from here
What do we mean to each other am I friend ,am I lover, is it over now
Do you love me still or do you just mean well

Do you love me still or do you just mean well

What Do We Mean to Each Other is a song by Sergio Mendes featuring Joe Pizzulo and Lisa Beville on the album Brasil in 1986.

Never Thought (That I Could Love)

NEVER THOUGHT (THAT I COULD LOVE)

(Dan Hill)

Can I touch you?
I can't believe that you are real
How did I ever find you?
You are the dream that saved my life
You are the reason I survived
Baby...

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you...

Can I hold you?
Girl your smile lights up the sky
You are too beautiful for the human eye
You are the dream that never dies
You are the fire that burns inside
Baby...

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I love you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you...

You are the sunshine in the sky
You are the sparkle in my eyes

I never thought that I could love
Someone as much as I need you
I know it's crazy but it's true
I never thought that I could need
Someone as much as I need you
I love you.

Never Thought (That I Could Love) was included in the album Dan Hill and was released in 1987.

In My Dreams

IN MY DREAMS

(Reo Speedwagon)

There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin'
You see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But, I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep
At least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy
You see in my dreams

We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams

I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken
And somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive

And, we climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams

And we climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us
We are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me
In my dreams, oh oh oh oh
In my dreams

In My Dreams was featured in the album Life as We Know It by Reo Speedwagon and was released in 1987.

The Past

THE PAST

(Ray Parker, Jr)

I was wrong when I hurt you
But did you have to hurt me too
Did you think revenge will make it better?
I don't care about the past
I just want our love to last
There's a way to bring us back together

Chorus:
I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we must have to try)
If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be
(honey let's start again)
'Cause there's no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let's not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, we can't look back)
(honey let's start again)

Out of all the good we had
You only keep track of the bad
Though you knew I never really loved her
Didn't anyone tell you yet
That to forgive is to forget
How can you be mad if you don't remember

The Past is included in the After Dark album by guitarist/singer/songwriter Ray Parker, Jr. released in 1987.

Changes in My Life

CHANGES IN MY LIFE

(Mark Sherman)

I was not so happy being lonely
Living without you
So I prayed so hard for your love
In my heart I needed you
Then I looked up in the sky
And I'm thinking why oh why
These are all the many changes in my life

After all the caring and the laughter
No one else like you
I am not a preacher with a sermon
I'm so in love with you
'Cause to live without your love
Like the sun that shines above
Is the magic of the changes in my life

And I'll never forget your love
You and I
We were meant to be
Sweet as rain falling from the sky
You and I
These are all the many changes in my life

Listen to these words I want to give you
On our love so true
Don't forget I love you and I need you
I'll always be with you
So just look up in the sky
And you'll find out why oh why
These are all the many changes in my life

And I'll never forget your love
You and I
We were meant to be
Sweet as rain falling from the sky
You and I
These are all the many changes, these are all the many changes,
These are all the many changes in my life

And I'll never forget your love
You and I
We were meant to be
Sweet as rain falling from the sky
You and I

These are all the many changes
These are all the many changes
These are all the many changes in my life

And I'll never forget your love
You and I,
We were meant to be
Sweet as rain
Falling from the sky
You and I

These are all the many changes, these are all the many changes,
These are all the many changes in my life (3x)

Changes in My Life is written by Mark Sherman/Bruce Purse featuring Johnny Kemp and recorded in 1986.

Ocean Deep

OCEAN DEEP

(Cliff Richard)

Love, can't you see I'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask
A little kindness in the night

Please don't leave me behind
No, don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask
And that is all

Ooh love, I've been searchin' so long
I've been searchin' high and low
And little love is all I ask
A little sadness when you go

Maybe you'll need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all I ask
And that is all

I wanna spread my wings
But I just can't fly
As a string of pearls
The pretty girls go sailin' by

Ocean deep
I'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings
Solitary room

Ocean deep
Will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I'll keep
Ocean deep

Now, can't you hear when I call
Can't you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feelin' when we touch

Why am I still alone
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask
And that is all

I wanna spread my wings
But I just can't fly
As a string of pearls
The pretty girls go sailin' by

Ocean deep
I'm so afraid to show my feelings
I have sailed a million ceilings
Solitary room

Ocean deep
Will I ever find a lover
Maybe she has found another
And as I cry myself to sleep
I know this love of mine I'll keep
Ocean deep

I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely (Ocean deep)
On my own in my room
I'm so lonely
(Ocean deep)
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
This love of mine
I'll be ocean deep

Ocean Deep is a ballad written by Rod Trott and John Sweet and sung by British singer Cliff Richard. It first appeared in his album Silver in 1983.

Cherish

CHERISH

(Kool & the Gang)

Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore
Hand in hand you and I
Let's cherish every moment we have been given
The time is passing by
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love

The world is always changing
Nothing stays the same
But love will stand the test of time
The next life that we live in
Remains to be seen
Will you be by my side
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night

Cherish the love
Cherish the life

Cherish is a single by the American R&B band Kool & the Gang and was released in 1985. It was featured in an episode of the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives.

First Love Never Dies

FIRST LOVE NEVER DIES

(Eugene Wilde and Joanna Gardner)

Maybe first love never ever dies
Thats why Im still in love with you
Hold me close and look into my eyes
And tell me you dont feel it too
The way it used to be when you told me
It would be forever, you and me together

And, we never really said goodbye

We never really said its over
We never really said goodbye
First love never dies
When I saw you I could hardly speak
Youre just as beautiful as ever babe
I guess its still the same mystique
First love never dies

Maybe you just wasted all of your love

We cant go back but we go on
Singing love songs we have once begun
Before we drifted far apart
Before I knew I lost my heart
Well live forever, only you (only you)
With my life together

We never really said goodbye

We never really said its over
We never really said goodbye
First love never dies

When I saw you I could hardly speak

Youre just as beautiful as ever babe
I guess its still the same mystique
First love never dies
The first love, never dies
It never dies (it never does)
First love never dies...
We never really said goodbye
We never really said it's over
We never really said goodbye
First love never dies..........

First Love Never Dies was performed by Eugene Wilde and Joanna Gardner in the film Rappin’ in 1985.

Anytime

ANYTIME

(The Jets)

Anytime now
You'll be my love
I know suddenly
I'll see your love will show
Reading between the lines
And I have seen the signs
In your eyes
It may take you by surprise

Anytime soon
You'll turn my way
Anytime now
You'll learn to say
It's me you love
You'll know that I'm the one
Who'll be there anytime

And baby it's now
The night will break
I'll wait, I gotta give
The sun, the time to wake
And if the night grows long
I will just sing this song
It will come true you wait and see
Anytime (anytime) anytime (anytime)
We're gonna be

Reading between the lines
And I have seen the signs in your eyes
It may take you by surprise

Anytime soon
You'll turn my way
Anytime now
You'll learn to say
It's me you love
You'll know that I'm the one
Who'll be there anytime

And baby it's now
The sky will break
I'll wait, I gotta give
The sun, the time to wake
And the night grows long
I will just sing this song
It will come true
You wait and see

Anytime
Tell me you care
Somehow, somewhere
You'll love just me

Anytime is a song by the American group The Jets. It was released as the final single from their album Magic in 1988.

Make It Real

MAKE IT REAL

(The Jets)

Tonight it's been a year
We met each other here
Here I am all alone
As thoughts of you go on

Hear me cryin' out to you
You said, "Never, never would I leave"
Here's a tear from me to you
And maybe it will make you hear me

I loved you
You didn't feel the same
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Give me one more chance to
Make it real

In a dream you are here
You smile and hold me near
And in my heart I'll pretend
That you are here again

Hear me cryin' out to you
You said, "Never, never would I leave"
Here's a tear from me to you
And maybe it will make you hear me

I loved you
You didn't feel the same
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Give me one more chance to
Make it real

Give me one more chance to
Make it real

Make it Real is a song by the American group The Jets. It was released as single from their album Magic in 1988.

You Got It All

YOU GOT IT ALL

(The Jets)

I, I was a game he would play
He brought the clouds to my day
Then like a ray of light
You came my way one night

Just one look and I knew

You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
Don't you know, don't you know

You got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true
There's just you

You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I got
Cause you got it all
Over him

No, don't let him worry you so
Once I met you I let go
Oh you can surely see
You're so much more to me

Just one look and I knew
You would make everything clear
Make all the clouds disappear
You're better than all the rest
Who do I love the best
Don't you know, don't you know

You got it all over him
You got me over him
Honey it's true
There's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not
Just look what I got
Cause you got it all
All over him

(You got it all over him,
You got me over him)

Honey it's true there's just you
You must have been heaven sent
Hearing me call you went
Out on a limb

And you're all that he's not
Just look what I got
Cause you got it all
All over him

You Got It All is written by Rupert Holmes and recorded by The Jets. It was released in 1986. It was featured in the film Jaws: The Revenge.
