Ambition Let's hurt each other On the Merry-Go-Round Love Painted with kisses and lies. Let's move to a town We have never been And run for Mayor. We can sit with friends We have never met And make up stories about The Good Old Days. Let's open a drug store And hang a sign In the window that says: "Just Say No." Surely we co... More..
A TEAR OR TWO AGO VERSE #1: Something in your eyes tells me you care. I know that you've been through it all and I've had my fair share. Let's put away those yesterdays, give love a chance to grow.

Vegas in the morning when forgettin' just ain't enough. CHORUS: Vegas in the morning, it looks different in the light. But it's sti... More..

The kiss of your lips, your fingers on my skin, Knowing I'll never feel this way again. CHORUS: Love is like that, a never ending breeze. Love is like that, it's all we'll ever need. Love is all we have,... More..
