U2 I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name I want to feel sunlight on my face I see the dust cloud disappear Without a trace I want to take shelter from the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do The city's aflood And our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust I'll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name We're still building Then burning down love Burning down love And when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do Our love turns to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Blown by the wind Oh, and I see love See our love turn to rust We're beaten and blown by the wind Blown by the wind Oh, when I go there I go there with you It's all I can do Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:22:05 PM Shine
Lindy Robbins/Pete Gordeno/Reed Vertelney You can try to hide away from every drop of rain that's hanging over you. And you can say it's all a waste. Lost your time and space. There's nothing left to lose. Like a broken angel on the ground, like a symphony without a sound. Turn around. [Chorus] Everything you are. Everywhere you've been. The sinner, and the saint that fight the battle within. Everyplace you go. Everybody knows. Shadows fall across the sun sometimes. Shine. You're gonna shine. In the mirror of your soul. I know that you know, you are not forsaken. Hey butterfly open up your weary eyes, and realize it's a trip we're taking. And the world will turn around again. And your shattered heart is going to mend. In the end. [Chorus] Everything you are. Everywhere you've been. The sinner,and the saint that fight the battle within. Everyplace you go. Everybody knows. Shadows fall across the sun sometimes. Shine. You're gonna shine. Baby let's go riding those shooting stars. Watch the cresent moon smile to your heart. Shine. You're gonna shine. Shine. You're gonna shine. [Chorus] Everything you are. Everywhere you've been. The sinner,and the saint that fight the battle within. Everyplace you go. Everybody knows. Shadows fall across the sun sometimes. Shine. [Chorus] Everything you are. Everywhere you've been. The sinner,and the saint that fight the battle within. Everyplace you go. Everybody knows.

Now your moving closer to me and our eyes are connected emotionally. I'm not looking for a one night stand, Or a place for a broken heart to mend, I know everybody hear wants to hold ya. I know what it's like cause i feel the same. When you look in my eyes there's a part of me that's still afraid.

Should I believe in magic in your eyes, I would wait until the end of time to hear you say you love me like you mean it, baby when you hold me make me feel it. All i wanna do is make you mine I've been hurt way too many times. They say if you wanna make god laugh, then all you gotta do is tell him your plans. I know that the timing's not right, Didn't know that I would meet you tonight. Its not that i don't really like the attention, I feel like the only man in the room. Are you really sincere, is this just something that you do?

Don't you hang your head don't you give up yet when courage starts to disappear I will be right here. [Chorus] When your world breaks down and the voices tell you turn around. When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you. When the stars go blind and the darkness starts to flood your eyes. When you're falling behind, I will carry you. Everybody cries, Everybody bleeds, No one ever said that lifes an easy thing. Thats the beauty of it, when you lose your way, close your eyes and go to sleep and wake up to another day. [Chorus] You should know now that you're not alone. Take my heart and we will find, you will find, your way home. When your dreams give out I will carry you, carry you.

When you're falling behind, I will carry you, carry you, I will carry you, carry you, I will carry you, carry you, I will carry you. Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:26:32 PM Kyrie
Mr. Mister Kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison, kyrie The wind blows hard against this mountain side, across the sea into my soul It reaches into where I cannot hide, setting my feet upon the road My heart is old, it holds my memories, my body burns a gemlike flame Somewhere between the soul and soft machine, is where I find myself again Chorus: Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night Kyrie eleison, where I'm going will you follow Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light When I was young I thought of growing old, of what my life would mean to me Would I have followed down my chosen road, or only wished what I could be (chorus repeats out...) Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:28:46 PM No More Sad Song
Jimmy Harry/Wayne Hector/Shep Solomon This is the way, that i state my independence, that i'm no longer connected to your memory. This is the day that i'm making my defection, gotta claim back the affection that you stole from me. I used to hear your music so loud, but its so low. You're just another face in the crowd, I'm letting you know. [Chorus] No more sad song, I'm letting you go now, Switched off switched on, I'm letting you know, you turned out the light. I'm gonna be alright when I... turn the radio on. No more sad song. These are the words to descibe all your offenses. You said love in the past tense and then you let it go. Haven't you heard, Your are no longer respected, you are formally rejected from the one you hurt. I used to have the longing to hear what was in your heart, But now it seems i'm over the fear of this falling apart. [Chorus] I used to have the longing to hear what was in your heart, but now it seems i'm over the fear of this falling apart. No more sad song, I'm letting it go now, Switched off switched on, I'm letting you know. No more sad song, I'm letting it go now, Switched off switched on, I'm letting you know. you turned out the light. I'm gonna be alright without... Turn the radio off. No more sad song. No more sad song. No more sad song, No more sad song. Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:36:46 PM Sweet Baby James
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companions. He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change. And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and glasses of beer. And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear as if maybe someone could hear: Goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James. Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams? And rock-a-bye sweet baby James. Now the first of December was covered with snow and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston. Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting, with ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go. There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway, a song that they sing when they take to the sea, a song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep, but singing works just fine for me. So, goodnight you moon light ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James. Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go down in my dreams? And rock-a-bye sweet baby James. How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) (Holland, Dozier, Holland) How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. I needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were. I needed someone to understand my ups and downs and there you were. With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion, I want to stop and thank you baby. I want to stop and thank you baby. How sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. I close my eyes at night wondering where would I be without you in my life. Everything I did was just a bore, everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before. But you brighten up for me all of my days with a love so sweet in so many ways, I want to stop and thank you baby, I just want to stop and thank you baby. How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine. How sweet it is to be loved by you. You were better for me than I was for myself, for me, there's you and there ain't nobody else, I want to stop and thank you baby. I just want to stop and thank you baby, yes I do, how sweet it is to be loved by you. How sweet it is to be loved by you. Feels so fine, how sweet it is to be loved by you. Just like jelly baby, oh yeah, how sweet it is to be loved by you. Just like honey to the bee, babe, how sweet it is to be loved by you. Fire And Rain Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone. Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you. I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song, I just can't remember who to send it to. I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again. Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand. You've just got to see me through another day. My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again. Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun. Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around. Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come. Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground. Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now. Thought I'd see you one more time again. There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now. Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now. You've Got A Friend (King) When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right. Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there to brighten up even your darkest nights. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow, keep your head together and call my name out loud. Soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there. Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold. They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them, oh yeah, but don't you let them. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call, Lord, I'll be there, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. You've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend. Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:37:54 PM Measure of a Man
Steve Morales/Cathy Dennis/David Siege If one day you discover him Broken down he's lost everything No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not The woman at his side is all that he has got Why do you ask him move heaven and earth To prove his love has worth? Would he walk on water Would he run through fire Would he stand before you When it's down to the wire Would he give his life up To be all he can Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man? If by chance all he had to give you Was three words wrapped around your finger Would that be deep enough at the end of every day And how will you ever know If a man is what he says? Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth To prove his love has worth Would he walk on water Would he run through fire Would he stand before you When it's down to the wire Would he give his life up to be all he can Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man? He never gives up Lets go of his dream His world goes around for his one true belief Is that how you know Is that what it means? Would he walk on water Would he run through fire Would he stand before you Would he will be your anchor when the dark unfolds Would he always love you the best that he knows? Would he give his life up To be all that he can Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man? Would he walk on water Would he run through fire Would he stand before you When it's down to the wire Would he give his life up To be all he can Is that, is that, is that, how you measure oh... Is that, is that, is that, how your measure a man? Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:38:41 PM Run to Me

Jimmy Harry/Danielle Brisebois/Shep Solomon I was fading last night, lost out in the cold Couldn’t see the light then she opened up the door I came in from the dark, fell into her arms just in time And now I know that I have left the past behind, won’t let it go [Chorus] You could tell me tonight That maybe the world would end That the sun wouldn’t rise And it was gonna rain again Just as long as she’s in my arms It’s gonna be a perfect day There’s a look in her eyes It makes me feel alright It lights the perfect sky That I couldn’t see before, That she helped me to find, now that I’ve seen the shine, I know that I’ll never be alone 'Cuz now I know that I have love I can’t deny, won’t let it go [Chorus] Its gonna be a perfect day I think I lost you in another life, A part of me that I left behind I won’t go on without you And now I know that I have put the past behind, I let it go [Chorus x2] Its gonna be a perfect day Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:40:23 PM I Survived You
Ty Lacy/Jess Cates/ Jeff Franzel I see the picture clear now, the fog has lifted. The wool you tried to pull over my eyes was clever. Yeah you're gifted. But you forgot to dot some I's, and cross some T's along the way. I'm better now despite you baby. I'm stronger these days. Stronger. [Chorus:] I survived the crash. Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies. Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived you. I can look in the mirror now. It's been a slow awakening. Haunted by a heart full of you, couldn't help mistaking. That you could ever care for anyone. Anyone but yourself. Hey. But you would have to have a conscience baby. Good luck I wish you well. [Chorus] I survived the crash. Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies. Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived you. This heart has been torn in two. Cut and bruised. With too many bitter endings. I'll be damned if I have thoughts of you Rain on my new beginning. [Chorus] I survived the crash. Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies. Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived the crash. Survived the burn. Survived the worst, yeah baby, but I learned. Survived the lies. Survived the blues. Almost killed me, but I survived the truth. And when you wrote me off like I was doomed. I survived you.

Love love love love love ...it's all about Love love love love love Everything else comes down to this Nothing any higher on the list than love It's all about love This is the reason we were made To know the love of our creator And to give the love He's given us away Yeah, the Maker and the Father and the God of everything He says to ...

Avalon I wonder how it must have felt When David stood to face Goliath on a hill I imagine that he shook with all his might Until You took his hand, and held on tight 'Cause You were there, You were there In the midst of danger's snare You were there, You were there always You were there when the hardest fight Seemed so out of reach Oh, You were there, You were always there You were always there So there he stood upon that hill Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans And just in time, You brought a lamb 'Cause You were there, You were there In the midst of the unclear You were there, you were there always You were there when obedience Seemed to not make sense You were there, You were always there You were always there So haven't I learned that my ways Aren't as high as Yours are And You alone keep the universe From crumbling into dust You are God and though we would Not have understood You There You were Hanging blameless on a cross You would rather die than leave us in the dark Every moment, every planned coincidence Just all makes sense With Your last breath You were there, You were there During darkest hour You were there, You were there always You were the Victor and the King You were the power in David's swing You were the calm in Abraham You are the God who understands You are the strength when we have none You are the living, Holy one You were, You are and You will always be the Risen Lamb of God You were, You are and You will always be The Risen Lamb of God Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on July 08, 2004, 08:49:19 PM This is the Night

Neil Sedaka There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared, that went unshared Until it died in his silence And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down And by himself, it's easy to pretend He'll never love again And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire Another day, a lonely day So much to say that goes unspoken And through the night, his sleepless nights His eyes are closed, his heart is broken And Solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down And by himself it's easy to pretend She's coming back again And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire A little hope, goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying Solitaaaaaire..... And by himself it's easy to pretend He'll never love again Ohhh And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire Solitaire, solitaire Title: Meanings of Songs Post by: wordsmith1223 on July 11, 2004, 02:33:32 PM Quote from: wordsmith1223 Hello I posted this in Got Clay in the Fox Cities cellcert, but thought it may be suited for here too. Maybe most of you know this, but in my constant desire to inform people the back stories to things, I thought I'd explain some of the cover songs' background Clay is singing. (For those of you who don't know me, I'm a huge James Taylor and U2 fan. The OCDers have heard all about my 20-year love affair with Bono and the boys, so I won't bore you with it now. I'm just so excited Clay's singing a U2 song because I've always felt his voice was perfect for it -- he has that same passion and emotion that Bono has, plus the booming pipes. I could go on and on...and did) BTW, WTSHNN is the song that U2 played at the February 2002 Super Bowl Half-Time Show where they scrolled down all the victims' names from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. U2 also did that during their "Elevation Tour" post-9/11 (2001/2002). (FYI - A DVD of their Elevation Tour concert in Boston is available, and is WONDERFUL!!!) "Where the Streets Have No Name" is on the landmark "The Joshua Tree" album, which won the Grammy for Best Album of the Year for 1987. The song's video is very famous, generally regarded as one of the best performance videos ever. U2 was on top of a building in downtown LA singing the song, and such a crowd gathered that the police had to come shut it down. It was a very Beatle-esque concept, like "Get Back" on the top of the Abbey Road studio. OK, here's what Bono said in 1987 about "Where the Streets Have No Name": 'Where the Streets Have No Name' is more like the U2 of old than any of the other songs on the LP, because it’s a sketch - I was just trying to sketch a location, maybe a spiritual location, maybe a romantic location. I was trying to sketch a feeling. I often feel very claustrophic in a city, a feeling of wanting to break out of that city and a feeling of wanting to go somewhere where the values of the city and the values of our society don’t hold you down. ‘An interesting story that someone told me once is that in Belfast, by what street someone lives on you can tell not only their religion but tell how much money they’re making - literally by which side of the road they live on, because the further up the hill the more expensive the houses become. You can almost tell what the people are earning by the name of the street they live on and what side ot that street they live on. That said something to me, and so I started writing about a place where the streets have no name....’" The song fits Clay, doesn't it? And man, does he look like a big-time rock star opening up the show with it!!! Ooooohhh, baby!! Here's some James Taylor background. BTW, Taylor is a Massachusetts native. He later made whatever Carolina his home (Thus, Carolina In My Mind.) James Taylor's "Sweet Baby James" was written for his nephew, who was named for him. It's a lullaby. I used to sing it to my sons when I rocked them. James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" is based on a personal account staying in an institution/facility. I can't remember the real story as to why he was in there. He had some substance abuse problems as a young man, but I'm not sure if that was it, or if he had some mental breakdown. Anyway, this young woman, Suzanne, who he became friends with, killed herself. So the line "Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you" refers to her funeral. And that line, "But I always thought that I'd see you again" is about finding out she died. I know, deep. But that's still one of the most poignant songs ever written. That line about "Flying Machines in pieces on the ground" refers to his first band, James Taylor and The Flying Machine. "You've Got a Friend" is actually written by Carole King, one of the legendary songwriters of the '60s and '70s. Taylor recorded it for his "Sweet Baby James" follow-up, "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon." Reportedly, they were more than "friends." But have since been close friends. The other songs, "Smiling Face" and "How Sweet It Is" are pretty self-explanatory. Y'all know that he was married to Carly Simon and they have two children, Ben and Sally, who are also singers. You can check out Ben's music at Amazon if you want to hear him. He's also done some music with dad and mom. I'm not all that familiar with Sally's stuff. Oh, and more trivia. When "Sweet Baby James" came out in 1970, James Taylor was the first pop/rock star to make the cover of Time Magazine. It was a huge deal. It also ushered in the singer/songwriter era. And as for "Rosanna," one of the Toto members wrote it for his then-girlfriend, actress Rosanna Arquette. She is also reportedly the subject for Peter Gabriel's song "In Your Eyes." So what is with this chick that she had two famous songs written about her? "Rosanna" was the Best Record of the Year at the Grammies back in '81 or '82, I believe.

I had heard about the origin of the song Streets With No Name, but forgot that it was used as a tribute to the 9/11 victims. I went back and read the lyrics with that knowledge and they became even more meaningful.
And, I think I remember reading that the video for the song may have even been part of the inspiration for Clay's Invisible video; where a performance is occurring and people are drawn to the music. Interesting! As far as Toto, I happen to recall that they also had a song called Pamela. Why couldn't Clay have chosen that one?!? :mrgreen: Thank you for sharing your expertise! Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Invisible Touch on July 11, 2004, 06:24:10 PM All of the Songs in the James Taylor Tribute happen to be on one of James Taylor's CDs called The Best of James Taylor. Also has Carolina In My Mind!
I have liked his songs, but never owned one of his albums. I went out and bought this one today! Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Her on July 18, 2004, 07:46:46 AM Pamela,

AND DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO SANG IT ORIGINALLY? THANKS SO MUCH!!!! :D :D
Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: houstonclayfan on August 08, 2004, 04:15:36 PM It was added at the concert before Musikfest so only performed twice - NH and PA so far.
Original is by George Michael and Arethra Franklin. I Knew You Were Waiting For Me by George Michael (Aretha) Like a warrior that fights And win the battle I know the taste of victory Though I went through some nights Consumed by the shadows Ans was crippled emotionally (George) Somehow I made it through the heartache, yes I did I escaped I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith Kept my faith (Chorus) And the river was deep I didn't falter When the mountain was high I still believed When the valley was low It didn't stop me I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me (Aretha) With an endless desire I kept on searching Sure in time our eyes would meet And like the bridge is on fire The hurt is over One touch and you set me free (George) I don't regret a single moment, no I don't Looking back, when I think of all those disappointments I just laugh, I just laugh (Chorus) So we were drawn together through destiny I know this love we share was meant to be I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: summerstar on August 08, 2004, 05:48:43 PM HOUSTONCLAYFAN,
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION, I KNEW IF ANYONE WOULD KNOW THE ANSWER YOU GUYS WOULD... THANKS !!! Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Char on August 08, 2004, 07:29:04 PM Does anyone know- is Clay pretty well sticking to the set that Pamela posted orginally? It sounds like he is mixing it up a little -depending on where he is performing. I read somewhere that he performed "Without You" at one performance. I hope that he does at the IL State Fair, as that is one of my favorite songs- the concert version that is. I love the version on Kim Locke's CD, but not as well as the concert version. This just goes to show the versatility of Clay- he has a large repetoire that he can pull from and not sing the very same set every single night. It also says a lot for his backup singers and band.
Looking forward to the 13th when I get to see Clay a fourth time! My friends are teasing me that I am stalking the man. My husband just laughs and says if you are going to see Clay, I am going to the fair for the car races. Hmmm.....I may want to see those too! LOL - Char Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on August 09, 2004, 05:35:39 PM Quote from: Char I read somewhere that he performed "Without You" at one performance.

Char, I believe he sang Without You with Quiana when the tour was in Charleston SC because that was Quiana's hometown. He has a short set he is doing at the State Fairs, it starts with the Disney video. He has added Still the One and the new song, I Knew You Would Wait. I need to add those to the list! Have fun at your concert! Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Char on August 09, 2004, 06:07:03 PM Thanks for the info Pamela :) Even though the concert will be shorter, I am sure I will still enjoy it! I am hanging in there for that St. Charles, MO date still also :)
- Char Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Shakin4Aiken on August 10, 2004, 03:35:00 PM I was wondering if anyone could tell me the set list for the state fairs. If not that's ok too.
Title: Concert list Post by: screaminrrieman on August 11, 2004, 10:07:10 AM If he does Solitare last as his encore, I will have won the bet. If you listen to the song, it's just fitting that it would be his closing song.
See you all at the Ohio state Fair !!! Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Char on August 13, 2004, 05:27:19 AM I will try to remember the set list and come back here and post tomorrow after seeing Clay tonight at the IL State Fair :)
- Char Title: Thanks so much! Post by: Jeannette on August 13, 2004, 02:35:09 PM Pamela--thanks so much for the set list and the song lyrics! It's just wonderful to have them--have been wanting them for a long time! I'm counting the days until the 27th in Milwaukee!
Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: songbird457 on August 13, 2004, 06:51:51 PM "Without You" (on Kim Locke's cd, One Love, written by Samantha Cole, David Foster, and Richard Marx; performed by Clay and Kim)
Clay has used this song for the song contest at most concerts. :D Quote Never ever thought to cry When I heard you say goodbye Never said where you were going There's no laughter in the air Only silence everywhere And so much left unspoken Since you've been gone I haven't been the same I wish that I could see Who's to blame Without you. where do I belong? Without you, how can I go on? No love but yours will ever do Tell me how am I supposed to live my life without you? Was I lost in you and me To the point I couldn't see That what we had was dying Now it's all that I can do To see photographs of you And stop myself from cryin I should learn to live without your love Got so many memories, but it's not enough Without you. where do I belong? Without you, how can I go on? No love but yours will ever do Tell me how am I supposed to live my life without you? I feel helpless and oh so all alone Like I've never felt before You made me feel alive But I don't remember what it's like anymore Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: songbird457 on August 13, 2004, 06:55:14 PM "Still the One" by: Orleans (?)
We've been together since way back when, and sometimes I never want to see you again But I want you to know, after all these years That you're still the one I want whispering in my ears. You're still the one I like to talk to in bed, still the one that turns my head We're still having fun, and you're still the one Well I look at your face everyday, and I never seen it til it went away When winter came, I just wanted to go, Back to a desert, how I yearned for the snow You're still the one that makes me laugh, still the one that's my better half We're still having fun, and you're still the one You're still the one that makes me strong, still the one I wanna take along We're still having fun, and you're still the one You're still the one that I love to touch, still the one, and I can't get enough We're still having fun, and you're still the one You're still the one who can scratch my itch, still the one, and I wouldn't switch We're still having fun, and you're still the one You're still the one that makes me shout, still the one that I dream about We're still having fun, and you're still the one We're still having fun, and you're still the one Title: SET LIST AND SONG LYRICS Post by: Pamela on August 18, 2004, 07:50:40 PM Chain of Fools
