Now and Forever Lyrics

Now and Forever
(Graham Russell)

When love is new
And the world is not reaching for you
We try hard to hold it all
In our hands
But it slipped through
Like soft drifting sands
But drying the tears
Can build it all like new

CHORUS
Now and forever
Remember the words
>From my heart will always be true
Now and forever
Together and all that I feel
Here's my love for for you

Learning each day
That the right time was so far away
To tell you the things I knew
Now it's clear
That the moment
We searched for is here
And counting the years
Is all I want to do

CHORUS

Hold me as close
As love will allow
Until all your fears are gone
What has all passed
Is over now
I'm here with you
I'm here with you
I'm holding on
I'm holding on

CHORUS

Even the Nights Are Better
(J. L. Wallace, Kenneth Bell, Terry Skinner)

I, I was the lonely one
Wondering what went wrong
Why love had gone
And left me lonely

I, I was so confused
Feeling like I'd just been used
Then you came to me
And my loneliness left me

I used to think I was tied to a heartache
That was the heartbreak
But now that I've found you

CHORUS
Even the nights are better
Now that we're here together
Even the nights are better
Since I found you

You, you knew just what to do
'Cause you had been lonely too
And you showed me how
To ease the pain

And you did more
Than mend a broken heart
'Cause now you've made a fire start
And I, I can see that you feel
The same way

I never thought there'd be someone to hold me
But then you told me
And now that I've found you

CHORUS

Even the days are brighter
When someone you love's beside ya
Even the nights are better
Since I found you


Young Love
(Graham Russell)

Lately all my thoughts have gone to you
You know that's true
Sometimes I feel just a word away
You'll say oh how I miss you too I do

Time is tight I'm lost for words
That's not like me
Only your eyes could know the way I feel
And how much I need you now with me

CHORUS
Young love so strong has never been a part of me
Young love hold on we're feeling it now
Is this the way it's meant to be

I know I'll be the one to lose if I'm so wrong
Don't be afraid to put your heart on the line
I'll take you where I know you belong

Take my thoughts away beyond the things we see
Sometimes I feel just a word away
You'll say oh how I really feel it should be

CHORUS


Two Less Lonely People in the World
(Howard Greenfield, Ken Hirsch)

I was down my dreams were wearing thin
When you're lost where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love that never came my way

Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lonely too
One look and then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched I knew that there would be

CHORUS
Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe you're mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
In the world tonight

Just to think what I might have missed
Looking back how did I exist
I dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
But miracles come true, I know 'cause here we are

CHORUS

Tonight I fell in love with you
And all the things I never knew
Seemed to come to me somehow
Baby, love is here and now there's

CHORUS


Taking the Chance
(Graham Russell)

You're in-between aa page of life you never dreamed
The answer won't come from that magazine
this time it's real and you're not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now

CHORUS
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want it all to carry on

Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when I'm so scared when things begin
Don't run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now

CHORUS
I'm taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If something's not right then tell me I'm wrong
I just want it all to carry on
I'm taking the chance
I can't let this feeling leave
I don't want those nights of waiting so long
I'm taking the chance before it's gone

Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you

CHORUS


Come What May
(Cynthia Well, Tom Snow)

When she looks at me
I know the girl sees things
Nobody else can see

All of the secret fears inside
All of the craziness I hide
She looks into my soul
And reads me like nobody can

And she doesn't judge the man
She just takes me as I am

CHORUS
Come what may, she believes
And that faith is something
I've never known before
Come what may, she loves me
And that love has helped me open a door
Making me love myself a little more

When I turn away
She knows those are the times
There's nothing left to say

Nothing that anyone can do
And so she lets me live it through
And when I'm in my darkest hours of uncertainty
She just simply lets me be
And goes right on loving me

CHORUS

And when it seems my dreams
Have all slipped through my fingers
When they just can't be found
I turn around and there they are
Shining in her eyes

CHORUS


One Step Closer
(Graham Russell)

I didn't really walk away I had something to explain
Trying to reach you night and day when I did not know your name
Shall we promise just to talk of it alone, all alone

Why can't the voice that said hello at the moment of first sight
Whisper the words I need to know speak to me that way tonight
Let me hear it travel through the restless sky straight from you
Come to me today

CHORUS
One step closer forward motion
One step nearer our destination
One step closer forward motion
One step nearer our destination

How can I bring myself to sleep till I'm resting by your side
Sharing the secrets hard to keep
When you live them all through the night
And then wake up with the words I'll always want you to say
Come to me today

CHORUS

A lonely man has come undone
Is it wrong to think I understand when you are as close to me
And not much further to go

Let me hear it travel through the restless sky straight from you
Come to me today

CHORUS


Don't Be Afraid
(Graham Russell, Frank Esler-Smith)

When winter calls and the wind won't wait
Look through the rain see the leaves start to break
Once so long like a prayer on the sea
Nothing to hide, so much there to see

CHORUS
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

The thoughts you wear like a long lost friend
Are buried so deep that you can't see them end
You know spring will come just as quick as you need
And run straight to you when the dark nights are freed

CHORUS


She Never Heard Me Call
(Graham Russell, Rex Goh)

One warm night I fell in love
The air was still the worlds would flow
We knew each other oh so well
And though just met you'd never tell

Sometimes we're just lonely hearts
That ride upon a floating card
Prepared to live those sleepless nights
For precious time in paradise

CHORUS
And now I find the future's gone
The reasons that I had to carry on are gone
I tried for it all
She never heard me call at all

There's no regrets we made the choice
We listened to that silent voice
That haunts you till you just give in
And makes you like a child again

We drifted close then said goodbye
Just reading well each other's eyes
The world had turned while we stood still
And held on to each other

CHORUS
And in between the right and wrong
Is somewhere that sometimes you can belong
I cried for it all
She never heard me call
And now I find the future's gone
The reasons that I had to carry on are gone
I cried for it all
She never heard me call at all


What Kind of Girl
(Graham Russell, Rex Goh)

What kind of man is enough to begin to understand
How love begins so small
>From that first day when she wakes and your arms are all she has
To hold on to
You'll never let her go and you say
"What kind of girl."

You'll never run anymore now that the world has come alive
For you, you'll say (how did I once survive)
What kind of girl does it take that gives everything she has
Always you know you'll never let her go
And you'll say what kind of girl

CHORUS
What kind of girl
What kind of girl
What kind of girl
What kind of girl

From that first day when she wakes and your arms are all she has
To hold on to
You'll never let her go and you say
What kind of girl

CHORUS
