clay aiken - a thousand days

Through my eyes
I have seen the world start spinning like a ball
Stars light up and then fall for you
So then what's a man like me supposed to do?
If I gave you the moon, would you notice
That I'm right beside you?

Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go

And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done
They'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine

In my world
You're the sun that shines and lights up the evening skies
Clearing up the horizon, hold on
Come with me, and I will never let you down
Oh, and in this love we'll drown, this I promise you
'Cause they can't hold us down

Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go

And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
And they ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine all mine

I would do anything, just believe it
Your love means everything, and I need it
Your heart won't lie
Reach out for me

Well, now a thousand days and thousand nights are not enough
'Cause I can't hold back the way I feel about my love
Won't let it go, won't let it go
'Cause you're mine, all mine

And if the angels came, I'd fight them back to win your soul
And when everything was said and done, they'd go back home
They ought to know, they ought to know
That you're mine, all mine

clay aiken - always and forever

Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever

clay aiken - as long as we re here

Why do we have to fight?
Why can't spend our time... trying?
I wanna be close to you
Keep love from slipping through... my hands
The words said in anger aimed at someone
Are hard to take back once the damage is done

Let's stop now....

As long as we're here... alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you... for all that it's worth
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

Let's make the most of of our time
As long as we're here... (yeah...)

Some people live their lives
Holding their fears... inside them
Afraid to build windows
To let the light of the world in...
They hide in the darkness of self-imposed walls
If they could just tear them down... they'd have it all

As long as we're here... alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

Let's make the most of of our time
As long as we're here... (yeah... yeah... yeah...)

When you're with me.... I breathe easy
You are my need [?].. right now love me

As long as we're here (as long as we're here)
I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you)
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

As long as we're here... alive on this earth
I'm gonna love you for all that it's worth
And one of these days ... we're gonna take off and fly...

Let's make the most of of our time
Oh.. make the most of our time
As long as we're here...
As long as we're here...

clay aiken - ashes

Someone told me
What doesn't kill you only
Makes you stronger, sets you free
From all that held you down

With all my heart, I believed
The ember burning
Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames
I still walked away

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can see
How the voice of reason
Kept reminding me
I was never good enough somehow
Try and remind me now

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know pain...I'm more alive
I'm more alive

[Chorus]
Turn around and see what love's done for me
You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold
Maybe love requires walking through the fire
To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

clay aiken - at this moment

What did you think
I would do at this moment
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes

Trying to tell me that you
Have found you another
And you just don't love me no more

What did you think
I would say at this moment
When I'm faced with the knowledge
That you just don't love me

Do you think
I would curse you
Or say things to hurt you
'Cause you just don't love me no more

Do you think I could hate you
Or raise my hands to you
Now come on! You know me to well

How could I hurt you
When darling I love you
And you know
I could never hurt you, oh!

What did you think
I would give at this moment
I you'd stay I'd subtract
Twenty years from my life
I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you again

I'd fall down on my knees
Kiss the ground that you walk on
If I could just hold you

If I... could just hold you

If I....

If I could just hold you again

clay aiken - back for more

Not too crazy about love songs
Never been into that kinda stuff... no
This one?s got me conflicted
Feel like I?m addicted
This sadness self inflicted
I just can?t get enough

Now it?s taking on a whole new meaning
This time the story cuts a little too close to home
'Cause this song is all about us
How could they know about us
What happened was just between us
Now the whole world knows
'Cause it?s all over the radio

Cuts me deep with every word
Saddest song I?ve ever heard
I can?t help myself
I keep coming back for more
Drowning in the melody
Makes me feel like I can?t breathe
I can?t save myself
The only time I?m close to you is when
I hear a song I?m addicted to
So I keep coming back for more

Somebody?s makin? a fortune
Selling emotions to fools like me... who
Relate to what their sayin?
Obsessed and can?t stop playing
No use in changing stations... no
Cause it?s everywhere on the radio, the radio, the radio

Cuts me deep with every word
Saddest song I?ve ever heard
I can?t help myself
I keep coming back for more
Drowning in the melody
Makes me feel like I can?t breathe
I can?t save myself
The only time I?m close to you is when
I hear a song I?m addicted to
So I keep coming back for more
I keep coming back for more
Hits me harder every time
Just notes and chords and words that rhyme

I?m not too crazy ?bout love songs
This type of story cuts a little too close to home
Cause it?s all over the radio, the radio, the radio

Cuts me deep with every word
Saddest song I?ve ever heard
Try and shut it out
It keeps coming back for more
Drowning in the melody
Makes me feel like I can?t breathe
I can?t save myself
The only time I?m close to you is when
I hear a song I?m addicted to
So I keep coming back for more

clay aiken - blood will never lose it s power

The blood that Jesus shed for me
Way back on Calvary
Oh the blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose it?s power

Cause it reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
It?s the blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose it?s power

It soothes my doubts
And calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
Oh the blood that gives me strength from day to day
It will never lose it?s power

Oh Cause it reaches to the highest mountain
And it flows to the lowest valley
It?s the blood that gives me strength
From day to day
It will never lose
It will never lose it?s power
It will never lose it?s power

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

clay aiken - bridge over troubled water

When You're Weary Feeling Small
When Tears Are In Your Eyes I Will Dry Them All
I'm On Your Side Oh When Times Get Rough
And Friends Just Can't Be Found

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down

When You're Down And Out When You're On The Street
When Evening Falls So Hard I Will Comfort You
I'll Take Your Part Oh When Darkness Comes
And Pain Is All Around

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Lay Me Down

Sail On Silver Girl Sail On By
Your Time Has Come To Shine All Your Dreams Are On Their Way
See How They Shine Oh When You Need A Friend
Well Look Around I'm Sailing Right Behind

Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Ease Your Mind
Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water
I Will Ease Your Mind
Your Mind, Ease Your Mind

clay aiken - build me up, buttercup

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up, oh (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start

clay aiken - don t let the sun go down on me

I can't light, no more of your darkness,
All my pictures, seem to fade to black and white,
I'm growing tired, and time stands still before me,
Frozen here, on the ladder of my life,
It's much too late, to save myself from falling,
I took a chance, and changed your way of life,
But you misread, my meaning when I met you,
Closed the door, and left me blinded by the light,

Don't let the sun go down on me ya,
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see,
I'd just allow a fragment of your life, to wander free ya,
Because losing everything, feels like the sun goin down on me,

I can't find, oh, the right romantic line,
But see me once, and see the way I feel,
Don't discard me no, just because you think I mean you harm,
But these cuts I have, they need love to help them heal,

Whoa, don't let the sun, go down on me ya,
Although I search myself there's always someone else I see,
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, ya,
Because loosin everything, feels like the sun goin down on me,

Don't let the sun, go down on me,
Although I search myself there's always someone else I see,
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free ya,
Because loosin everything feels like the sun goin down on me,

On me...

clay aiken - dream lover

Every night
I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms

Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to
Dream alone

Dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh so true
And a hand that I can hold
Feel you near
As I grow old

Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to
Dream alone

Someday, I don't know how
I hope
She'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
She'll bring her
Love to me

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep
And dream again
That's the only thing to do
'Til all my lover's dreams come true

Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to
Dream alone

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep
And dream again
That's the only thing to do
'Til all my lover's dreams come true

Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to
Dream alone

Please, don't make me dream
Alone

clay aiken - everlasting love

Hearts go astray
Leaving hurt when they go
I went away just when
You needed me so
Filled with regret
I come back beggin' you
Forgive forge
Where's the love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Be a lasting part of
Everlasting love

Love

clay aiken - everything i don t need

Get out of my dreams
There's no room left
Get out of my bed.
we did (bid?) goodbye yesterday
Don't you think I heard what you said

You want to much
You play to hard

Well, well you bid (?) my morning light again
Don't wanna answer the phone
I went to sleep last night angry
I'm sure I was alone
You know me well
Always ring my bell

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need.

I don't wanna listen to answers
To the questions I didn't ask
It's all about you I wanna move out
before the breakdown starts.

It's all wrong
Won't you let me go

And tell me what would I want from you
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
But it has to stop
You're everything
Everything I don't need.

You fill my head
You block my view
It's killing me
You're everything I don't need

If it's all I do I'll be free cause you've taken everything
Everything I don't need
What would I want from you ohhhh
Cause you tried so hard to be who you are
but there's no way I understand what you do.
The last of a dying breed
Well we've come this far,
but it has to stop
You're everything
ohhhh
everything I don't need.

Last of a dying breed
Everything I don't need

clay aiken - everything i have

I feel like I never measure up to who you see
Sometimes I think I can't give you all the love you need
You keep changing everyday
Amazing me in everyway.

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have

I never dreamed I could ever feel the way I do
I hope and pray I will always be enough for you
I can only do my best
I have to trust you with the rest

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have

I promise I will hold you through the changes and fears
When life seems unclear
And when I can't be right there with you
I know there's angels by your side

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything

If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything... I have
