you?"

Over - "We put up a star that night, and stayed up 'til the morning
light ..."

Right Where I Want Me - "You've got me right where I want me ..."

Running Out of Dreams - "I've paced the floor, and watched the
door, and loved beyond my means."

Same as Yesterday - "I've always been one who can get the job
done.  I'm a winner, not a whiner."

See What Happens Next - "I don't wanna be lied to.  Don't try to
pretend that it's not there."

Spring in Your Step - "What will you choose as the reason for
your seasons of love? ..."

Stolen Moments - "How long must these stolen moments go on?"

Straitjacket of Love - "... all tangled up, there's j-j-just no way to
untie the straitjacket of love around your heart."  ***

Take Me Home - "The moon is full for just one night, and I'm so
cold.  Take me home ..."

That's the Way - "... another day just falls to the floor ..."

Time and Time Again - "Do you stop and find you're thinkin' 'bout
what we might have been?"

Too Far Gone - "I'm a hot-flashed, hard-wired, single-speed dial set to call you, call you ..."

Whenever - "Whenever I see you, my heart skips a beat, turnin'
my rhythm around ..."

Rachel, and Rose."
