Peter’s Lament

Can’t Stop Loving You

How Can You mend a Broken Heart

I can’t make you love me

Just When I needed you Most

To Where You are

You’re Still You

If You’re Not the One

Right Here Waiting

Phil Collins
Can't Stop Loving You

So you're leaving
In the morning
On the early train
Well I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say good bye

Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying

Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I

We took a taxi to the station
Not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I don't know

Feeling humble
Heard the rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying

Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I

(Even try)
I'll always be here by your side (why why why)
I never wanted to say goodbye (why even try)
I'm always here if your change, change your mind

So you're leaving
In the morning
On the early train
Well I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say good bye
The guy would be lying

Because I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I
Even try

Because I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I
Why should I
Why should I
Tell me why
Why should I
Even try

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

I can think of younger days when living for my life

Was everything a man could want to do.

I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend a this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees

And misty memories do days gone by

We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I Can't Make You Love Me

Bonnie Raitt

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed

Turn down these voices inside my head

Lay down with me, tell me no lies

Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel something it won't

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power

But you won't, no you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see

The love you don't feel when you're holding me

Morning will come and I'll do what's right

Just give me till then to give up this fight

And I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't

You can't make your heart feel something it won't

Here in the dark, in these lonely hours

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power

But you won't, no you won't

'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Just When I Needed You Most

Rudy Vanwarmer

You packed in the morning I stared out the window
and I struggled for something to say
you left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

But I miss you more than I missed you before
and now where I'll find comfort, god knows
'cause you left me just when I needed you most
left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning I stare out the window
and I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
if you would just send one to me.

'Cause I need you more than I needed before
and now where I'll find comfort, god knows
'cause you left me just when I needed you most
left me just when I needed you most.

You packed in the morning I stared out the window
and I struggled for something to say
you left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

Now I love you more than I loved you before
and now where I'll find comfort, god knows
'cause you left me just when I needed you most
oh yeah you left me just when I needed you most
you left me just when I needed you most.

To Where You Are
Josh Groban

Who can say for certain

Maybe you're still here

I feel you all around me

Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You're still an inspiration

Can it be(?)

That you are mine

Forever love

And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile to know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn't faith believing

All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday

'Cause you are mine

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe

That angels breathe

And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

I know you're there

A breath away's not far

To where you are

You’re Still You

Josh Groban

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you

Daniel Bedingfield
If You're Not The One

Lyrics:

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?

If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?

If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?

If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings

But I know you are here with me now

We’ll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?

If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?

If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?

If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away

But I know that this much is true

We’ll make it through

And I hope you are the one I share my life with

And I wish that you could be the one I die with

And I’m prayin’ you’re the one I build my home with

I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away

And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today

‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right

And though I can’t be with you tonight

And know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand

If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Right Here Waiting
Richard Marx 
 
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
 
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
 
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
 
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
 
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
 
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
 
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
 
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
