I don't want to be the kind to hesitate,
Be too shy, wait too late
I don't care what they say other lovers do,
I just want to dance with you.

I gotta feeling that you have a heart like mine,
So let it show, let it shine.
If we have a chance to make one heart of two,
I just want to dance with you.

I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancin' for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That's what they invented dancin' for,
I just want to dance with you.

I caught you lookin' at me when I looked at you,
Yes I did, ain't that true?
You won't get embarrassed by the things I do,
I just want to dance with you.

Oh the boys are playin' softly and the girls are too,
So am I and so are you.
If this was a movie, we'd be right on cue,
I just want to dance with you.

I want to dance with you, twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancin' for,
I just want to dance with you.
I want to dance with you, hold you in my arms once more,
That's what they invented dancin' for,
I just want to dance with you.

I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you,
I just want to dance with you.

I couldn't help but overhear your conversation
When you told her that you owned her heart and soul
You say you've got her wrapped around your finger
But there's something about angels you should know

She'll walk away one step at a time
It'll take you by surprise
you'll think it happened over night
It'll be too late when you realize
Angels don't fly
They just walk away one step at a time

Don't think that I'm trying to mind your business
it's a full time job just trying to mind mine
But I once had an angel just like her
And if I'd treated her right
She'd still be by my side

She'll walk away one step at a time
It'll take you by surprise
you'll think it happened over night
It'll be too late when you realize
Angels don't fly
They just walk away one step at a time

It'll be too late when you realize
Angels don't fly
They just walk away one step at a time

True in this modern world when two lovers get together
Chances of'em ever makin' it to forever
Couldn't be better than two in a million hearts
Girl this ain't just another run of the mill emotion
What I'm feelin' is the definition of devotion
My love for you is true

True , like the sun comin' up each mornin'
Bright as the light in a baby's smile
Sure as a mountain river windin'
Right as the rain fallin' from the sky
Girl my love for you, is true

True, not another minute on this earth can be borrowed
So there's no way to know when I'll live my last tomorrow
But everyday I get, I'll share with you
This feelin' just keeps gettin' stronger as the time goes by
It's written on my face, you can see it in my eyes
My love for you is true

True , like the sun comin' up each mornin'
Bright as the light in a baby's smile
Sure as a mountain river windin'
Right as the rain fallin' from the sky
Girl my love for you, is true

True , like the sun comin' up each mornin'
Bright as the light in a baby's smile
Sure as a mountain river windin'
Right as the rain fallin' from the sky
Girl my love for you, is true

Girl you were always my yellow rose
And I was your one lone star
We always said
Together till death do us part

We had a love bigger than Texas
Where is that feeling now
It's taken some hits and losses but it's fighting on
And standing somehow

Remember the man who asked for your hand
In the moonlight of San Antone
There by the mission you let your position be known
That you loves me so
Don't forget where it started
Remember the Alamo

I think we can hold on and make it together
If we remember when
And get back to love
The way that it was back then

When we were hopeless romantics needing each other
Willing to take a chance
We strolled and we talked down the ol' river walk
To the heart of where it began

Remember the man who asked for your hand
In the moonlight of San Antone
There by the mission you let your position be known
That you loves me so
Don't forget where it started
Remember the Alamo

. . .



There's a soft rain tappin' on your window
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay
And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows
To music playin' far away

I never meant to stay an hour
I thought that I was passin' through
Another town along the highway
I never meant to fall for you

But I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing' left for dreams to steal

On a Bible by the mirror
The only treasures that we hold
The only secrets that we're keepin'
A watch, a chain, a cross of gold

But I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing' left for dreams to steal

When the sunlight brings the mornin'
I can't tell you what I'll do
But I've a mind to take you with me
And I've a heart to stay with you

But I can't speak for you, Maria
I only know the way I feel
When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothing' left for dreams to steal

When I sleep with you, Maria
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal

We really shouldn't be doin' this
And we both know why
Just being close enough to think like this
Enough to make you need to lie

This kinds talk will lead us to somewhere
We're gettin' way too close to going there
The farther off the better to resist
We really shouldn't be doin' this

Only an isolated incident
But the acquaintance left me stunned
The first attractions was the hardest hit
I thought I'd ever overcome

This kinds situation has to pass
The chance encounter has to be the last
To take it further we would be remiss
We really shouldn't be doin' this

We'd each be hurting somebody else
If we don't say our good-byes real fast
Won't even think about a farewell kiss
We really shouldn't be doing this

Well........

. . .



You take it nice and easy
You play it safe 'cause that's what people do today
I guess that's ok
Girl somewhere in your mind
There must be a perfect time to fall in love
But baby I'm burnin' up

So why not now, why not here
Darlin' my heart just ain't too clear
Oh what are we waitin' for
'Cause I've never been so sure
Why not you, why not me
Livin' like we were meant to be
Together, forever
Why not now

Right here in this moment
We could start a love to stand the test of time
Baby you know that's right
No one knows tomorrow
The mornin' sun could rise and take our chance away
Long gone with yesterday...........so

So why not now, why not here
Darlin' my heart just ain't too clear
Oh what are we waitin' for
'Cause I've never been so sure
Why not you, why not me
Livin' like we were meant to be
Together, forever
Why not now

So why not now, why not here
Darlin' my heart just ain't too clear
Oh what are we waitin' for
'Cause I've never been so sure
Why not you, why not me
Livin' like we were meant to be
Together, forever
Why not now

So why not now, why not here
Darlin' my heart just ain't too clear
Oh what are we waitin' for
'Cause I've never been so sure
Why not you, why not me
Livin' like we were meant to be
Together, forever
Why not now

Well that's just great
Just what I needed
The icing on that cake
You're leavin'
But I give up
Throw up my hands
There's nothing I can say or do
I've done all that I can

That's the breaks
The way the cookie crumbles
What goes around comes around they say
That's the breaks
The way that ol' cookie crumbles
And what's been comin' round
Ain't been goin' my way

Well surprise me
Tell me something new
I know leavin's what I got
Comin' from you
And I'm sorry
You know I am
But one way or another I'll come through
In one piece once again

That's the breaks
The way the cookie crumbles
What goes around comes around they say
That's the breaks
The way that ol' cookie crumbles
And what's been comin' round
Ain't been goin' my way

That's the breaks
The way the cookie crumbles
What goes around comes around they say
That's the breaks
The way that ol' cookie crumbles
And what's been comin' round
Ain't been goin' my way

What's been coming 'round
Ain't been going my way
That's the breaks

You've been out again tonight
with the girls out on the town
but in those magic neon lights
I know exactly what you found
what about your home?
and the man who loves you so
Is it worth the thrill you feel
down on neon row

Chorus:
If you're lonely then your easy
them good ol' boys just pick and choose
and lonely women are in season
a one night stand's an all night lose
and all those lonely high-heeled ladies
are always putting on a show
but in the morning putting on coffee
and putting back on the clothes they wore the night before
to neon row

Girl I can't hold you back
not one day longer
If my love ain't strong enough
to keep you home
Just start the fire
to burn the bridges
and maybe some night will lead in the magic light
down on neon row

Repeat Chorus:

and putting back on the clothes they wore the night before
to neon row
