Long Time Friends Lyrics JAGGED EDGE Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   I should have seen it coming Just like I usually do But this time t was different This time it was you   I could have run for cover And made it just in time But I was in a daydream And you were on my mind   Chorus: Caught up on the jagged edge Of another broken heart Yes, another broken heart Caught up on the jagged edge Struggling like a puppet to be free Wishing it was you instead of me   How could it really happen? How could the worst be true? Where are all the answers? What am I to do?   I guess it doesn’t matter Whose doing what to who I couldn’t make you happy You wouldn’t give me room   (Chorus)   Whenever you’re not looking It will sneak up and Shatter your illusions It comes up from behind And twists around your mind   (Chorus)   YOU GOT THE WAY Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   Turn the music down Let me put my arms around you Who told you I was leavin’ Take a look behind, and see how far we’ve come Do you really think I’d leave you, baby   Chorus: You got the way To make me feel better, baby You got the words I wanna be hearin’, baby I got a reason, it’s you I’m believin’ tonight   And if ya ever start to fall You know I’ll be there to help ya Baby, baby, I don’t think I’d ever be the same If you weren’t here to call my name   (Chorus)   It’s only words, it’s only words Look here in my eyes, But look here in my eyes   (Chorus)   AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED Written by Billy Alessi  and Bobby Alessi   I might say the meanest things Sometimes I’m not much company There’s no rearranging my feelings remain the same I’d have no other way You bring on the night Chasing our dreams as we climb It’s what life’s about And if I may say As far as I’m concerned, You belong to me   I know times I’ve neglected you And for this, I apologize There’s no reservations, My feelings will never change I’d have it no other way Chasing our dreams Together as time passes by It’s what life’s about, and if I may say As far as I’m concerned, You belong to me   Chorus: Give me tomorrow, Give me every time you wake I need your gentleness There’ll be no emptiness Give me forever, Give me every time you cry I need your gentleness There’ll be no emptiness    I know times I’ve neglected you And for this, I apologize There’s no rearranging my feelings remain the same Girl, you belong to me   (Chorus)   RISE UP Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   A man appears to be strong Can start out with nothing And take on the world A girl can take it all away And leave him with nothing, with nothing With nothing to say   Chorus: Rise up above And let your heart see again Rise up above and let…  It’s your mind, It’s your mind   Hard, is going your own way You’ve got to believe in yourself If you want to be strong And know that no one is perfect We’ve must be giving, giving If we want to receive   Rise up above And let your heart see again Rise up above and let… It’s your mind, it’s your mind   And then those times When you’re calling out, alone You’re just a minute away You’re just a minute away   (Chorus)   Rise Up!   I’M GONNA TELL HER TONIGHT Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   I feel sometimes confused Makes me wonder if I’m a fool Do we ever get to feel secure It turns me around – And gets me down Nights by the fire, just for two Exchanging feelings You’d think we’d never lose it Then unexpected complications We turn our back on it all   Chorus: I’m gonna tell her tonight I’m gonna tell her tonight We’ve got to look what we’ve got It’s our lives we’re investing   She’s something from a dream She takes my breath away And the way she says she loves me In her own way I’m so confused I’m afraid that either way I’ll lose   (Chorus)   I’m gonna tell her tonight I’m gonna tell her tonight We’ve got to look what we’ve got It’s our lives we’re investing But when she gives me those eyes I fall apart, I fall apart   (Chorus)    PUT AWAY YOUR LOVE Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   It’s nice you call me up long distance Everything is fine with me We lost touch but had our reasons Yes I remember how it used to be Yes I got your letter I didn’t want to have to say   Chorus: Put away you love stop believin’ Though I’m not married Someone needs me Put away your love, Things are different Don’t come to me I’ll keep the love I’m in   This old world just keeps on changing faces Sorry to hear he left you, oh you left him I understand what you’re going through I’ve been to so many different places No I won’t be comin’ out that way I didn’t want to have to say   (Chorus)   Who’d have believed I’d ever settle down I found a magic world This time there is no choice For you – yeah   (Chorus)   WHAT A WAY TO GO Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   Lookin’ my best, checkin’ the time Everything I tried to say I could see was taken wrong She’s lookin’ away, fightin’ the tears With haste in our decision We swept away the years   Love with no end Neither one of us would give in   Chorus: What a way to go What am I gonna find When I turn the corner and admit that I was blind Too late to change Too much has been said But if I could start again I would do anything   We could have been there We could have had everything We’re never gonna know What we pushed aside I’m takin’ my last look into those lonely eyes Nothin’ else left to say We slowly turn away   Love with no end The two of us too stubborn to bend   (Chorus)   As the final moment enters There’s a stillness in the air As I slowly let go of your hand   (Chorus)   STILL IN LOVE Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   Hope this letter finds its way to you I’ve written several times But never followed through Yesterday seems so unconfused Did we ever find ourselves Is it really what we choose Exciting places and pretty faces come and go Just one thing, girl, there’s something I just have to let you know I just had to let you know   Chorus: Darling, you are the best Yes. you’re a blessing to the man that shares The world around you Now I’m a fool, No my heart just won’t deny it Girl, I’m still in love with you   Gentle nights just seem to waste away I remember every word, All the things we used to say Broken dreams bring unspoken words We just slipped away I hope you don’t mind that I say Hope you don’t mind that I say   (Chorus)   HOW LONG, HOW MUCH Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   When I woke early this morning, The sun was just about to rise I’d forgotten you’d left me You hurt me all over again I think of how you left me You must be stronger than You let on to be That you could pick up and go And not leave a note, No tears, no fight, Just off in the night   How long before you let me go How many times will I wake up Feeling this break up over and over How long, how much   Last time I saw you I was kissing you good-bye I said, “I’ll see you at five.” But you knew inside it was the end I wouldn’t see you again   Chorus How long before you let me go How many times will I wake up Feeling our break up over and over How long, how much (Chorus)   How much will I need your touch How many nights do I give Before my heart will forgive How long, how much Before you let me go   How many nights do I give Before my heart wants to live   FOREVER Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   Don’t explain yourself Doesn’t matter reasons why I’d just as soon you leave it never said I’d just as soon you go I can feel your sympathy And there’s pity in your eyes Well, do you think you mean so much to me Do you think I’ll die?   Chorus: Well you go and you play But don’t ever think a minute That you took my love away Well I know, I said a lot of things But forever really means until the day it ends That’s tonight, It’s gonna be tonight   I’ve been turned around And unsure of what to do But like nature’s streams that wash away We must let it through Now you just can’t disguise There’s a hardness in your eyes And we’ll never know how much we had Until it’s far behind   (Chorus)   And I’ll remember the days I spent with you Never to lose (never, never, no)   Never, never, no   (Chorus)   I know you said a lot of things But forever really means until the day it ends (repeat)   LONG TIME FRIENDS Written by Billy Alessi and Bobby Alessi   Long time friends start lookin’ older Everybody agrees it seems time goes so fast And down the road don’t seem so far Tell me you won’t go away Tell me you’re her to stay   True love is how true you make it Some people choose to play between the lines But you can’t fool yourself Some people have to wait Some people never find it   Give me the love you make Give me the rainy days I wanna hold you through the night, Through time We’ve had to make our way Been through the cloudy days It’s up to us to keep it together   Give me the love you make Give me the rainy days
