laura branigan - gloria

Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody, you gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown, so be careful not to showit

You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under(Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha, Gloria, how's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line, or will you catch him on therebound?
Will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon?
Feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's comin' backsoon

And you really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you, why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria), I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria) that you've been living under(Gloria)
But you really don't remember, was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)
(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria) ...

laura branigan - hark the herald angels sing

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing

laura branigan - all night with me

I wish I knew what you were thinkin'
Sometimes with you it's hard to tell
You lay beside me without speakin'
Words are hard to find, better left behind
You pull me close as if to answer
The question runnin' through my head
If words could say it any better

Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
Does it feel good? If it feels right, stay all night

We'll wake up early in the mornin'
Or never go to sleep at all
So happy just to be together

Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
If it feels good, if it feels right, stay all night

It's a long night, there'll be time for playin'
Never felt so right just to hear you sayin'
That it's all right, and you feel like stayin' all night with me
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
Does it feel good, does it feel right?
Why don't you stay all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?
Does it feel good, does it feel right?
Why don't you stay all night with me?
Does it feel good, do you feel like stayin' all night with me?

laura branigan - down like a rock

Was there light on the water when I fell in and drowned?
Did anyone see my body go down?
Did he call out "Someone help, she can't swim!"?
Or did he just laugh when I slipped and fell in?

I went down without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall?
But when I went down, I went down like a rock

Did anyone jump in or climb down the rungs
To catch me and save me and pump out my lungs?
I saw nobody cry on board, nobody offered a prayer
Did anyone notice, doesn't anyone care?

I went down without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall?
But when I went down, I went down like a rock

Was there light on the water when I fell in and drowned?
Did anyone see my body go down?
Did he call out "Someone help, she can't swim!"?
Or did he just laugh when I slipped and fell in?

I went down without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall?
But when I went down, I went down like a rock
I went down without a trace
And all I could see was a smile on his face
I fell in, was I pushed, did I fall?
But when I went down, I went down like a rock

laura branigan - fool s affair

Forgive my emotions
I can't control them tonight
It's been so wrong
Now it's alright
I feel you shakin'
Well I'm shakin' too
Just like before
It's always been you

We've been playin' with fire
And we both know it
No way to hold on
No way to let go
We can't let this chance go by
Love is here and we're alive

Tonight's the night feelin' all is alright for a fool's affair
Time after time two of the kind for a fool's affair
And when we dare to catch the wind
That comes again for those who share a fool's affair

Feel so good together
I wanna touch you again
Fill up my dreams
Let me pretend that we have forever
When we know it's not true
But as long as I live it will always be you

We've been playin' with fire
And we both know it
No way to hold on
No way to let go
We can't let this chance go by
Love is here and we're alive

Tonight's the night feelin' all is alright for a fool's affair
Time after time two of the kind for a fool's affair
And when we dare to catch the wind
That comes again for those who share a fool's affair

Tonight's the night feelin' all is alright for a fool's affair
(So right)
Time after time two of the kind for a fool's affair
(Such a fools affair)
Tonight's the night feelin' all is alright for a fool's affair
Time after time two of the kind for a fool's affair
And when we dare to catch the wind
Loves comes again for those who share a fool's affair

A fool's affair
For those who share a fool's affair
A fool's affair
For those who share a fool's affair

laura branigan - i wish we could be alone

I wish we could be alone
So all of the world couldn't see
How much we have together
And how much you mean to me
I wish we could put out the flame
But oh, sweet baby, tell me would it be right?
I take the subway and you take the train
I got a husband and you got a wife
I wish we could love and then not always have to pretend

I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone

I know it's not simple
But I know that it's strong
And I know it will never be easy
But I know it ain't wrong
I wish it could always be the way it is when you're kissin' me

I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone

And so we'll go on and on
Hidin' out the way that we do
Keepin' it from all of our friends
There ain't a nothin' between us two
I wish we could hang about
And not worry who's givin' in or out

I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone
I wish we could be alone, all alone

laura branigan - i believe

I believe that when the hurting and the pain has gone
We will be strong, Oh yes we will be strong
And I believe that if I'm crying while I write these words
Is it absurd ? Or am I being real
I believe that if you knew just what these tears were for
They would just pour like every drop of rain
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that if you thought for a moment, took your time
You would not resign, resigh, resign yourself to your fate
And I believe that if it's written in the stars, that's fine
I can't deny that I'm a Virgo too
I believe that if your bristling while you hear this song
I could be wrong or have I hit a nerve ?
That's why I believe it is too late for anyone to believe

I believe that maybe somewhere in the darkness
In the nighttime, In the storm
In the casino
Casino spanish eyes
I believe, no I can't believe that every time you hear a newborn scream
You just can't see the shaping of a life
The shaping of a life

laura branigan - i want to know what love is

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Aaaah woah-ah-aah

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Aaaah woah-oh-ooh

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

laura branigan - i m not the only one

Secret eyes follow you around the room
They try to hide their glances in the darkness
How could there be anyone as beautiful as you?
Who couldn't help but want you?

I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you, wanted to be holding you now
Holding you, touching you, feeling you

Will it be me at the end of the night?
Will I be, will I be the lucky one who wins you?
Leavin' the rest just to dream of your embrace
Who wouldn't want to be in my place?

I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you
You'll break every heart before the night is through
Every heart but the one that goes with you

There you are, moving across the floor
Knowing that all those arms are waiting and wanting
Longing to reach for you
You don't care, you could have anyone you choose

I'm not the only one who wants to get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you, wanted to be holding you now
Holding you, touching you, feeling you
I wanna get next to you
Bet I'm not the only one who's ever told you
How much they wanted to be your only one
They all wanted you

laura branigan - if that s what it takes

You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls
You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home
You can say it's all right, but I know that you're breaking up inside
I see it in your eyes
Even you face the night afraid and alone
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes
If that's what it takes

You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain
When your heart's crying out, baby, whisper my name
'cause I've reached out for you when the thunder is crashing up above
You've given me your love
When your smile like the sun that shines through the pain
That's why I'll be there

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend
Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end
I will stand like a rock, I will bend till I break
Till there's no more to give, if that's what it takes
I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed
I will lay down my life, if that's what you need
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

Through the wind and the rain, through the smoke and the fire
When the fear rises up, when the wave's ever higher
I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul
I will hold on all night and never let go
Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make
Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

If that's what it takes
Every day
If that's what it takes
Every day

laura branigan - if you loved me

If you loved me
I'm sure that you would know
Wouldn't be so easy for you to let me go
If you loved me
You'd put away your pride
And put some love inside
And hold it there forever

If you loved me
If you ever did before
You could find those feelings
And feel them all once more
If you loved me
That love would pull us through
You'd do all you could do
To keep that love together

You had me walkin' on a rainbow
That vanished at my feet
Now that it's over
I see the truth my heart refused to see

If you loved me
The way I loved you from the start
Wouldn't be so easy for you to break my heart
If you loved me
You'd give it one more try
You wouldn't let it die
You'd hold me close forever
If you loved me
If you loved me
If you loved me
Like I love you

laura branigan - helpless

Walk away
You came into
My life and then you runaway
Is there nothing I can do to
Try and make you stay?
I can see you in the arms of another girl
You shattered my world

Suddenly
I'm not half the woman that I used to be
All I have is memories
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
You left me helpless
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
You left me helpless

All alone
We had it too together now I'm all alone
I shared a life with you and now I don't belong
I'll have to start a new life on my own
But I'm not that strong

Suddenly
I'm not half the woman that I used to be
All I have is memories
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
You left me helpless
You took my love
You took my love
You took my love
You left me helpless

laura branigan - how am i supposed to live without you

I could hardly believe it when I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leaving, someone swept your heart away
From the look upon your face I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

Didn't come here for cryin', didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is comin' to an end
How can I blame you when I built my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
I need you know, it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone

And I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreamin'
Now that your dream has come true

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been loving you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
All that I've been livin' for is gone

Without you, after I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
And how am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been ...

laura branigan - i found someone

Don't you know
So many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder
Talkin' about that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
And maybe baby maybe baby

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings you never really knew
Baby don't you lose that thunder
Talkin' about that fire in your eyes
You're looking at me but you still don't believe
And maybe baby maybe baby

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Too long on the border line
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And now I realize

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone

I found someone to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

laura branigan - imagination

He says that he can read my mind
The power to turn iron into gold
She says she's seen the other side
And knows the place the fire burns all night

There is an answer to the question
So long ago down below
It's a hard real life, every day
Once you have it, it never goes away

Chorus:
It's in the pocket, when you're really really lucky
When your fantasy becomes reality
Living inside your imagination
It's in the pocket, when you're really really lucky
When your fantasy becomes reality
Living inside your imagination

Your magic of the secret door
I can take you down and show you more
It's easy, once you know the way
It's farther than the closest thing you are

You've got to walk right through that fire
It will not burn you
And the once you may love
Only life won't make it
Or just burn away

Chorus

You've got to walk right through that fire
It will not burn you
And the once you may love
Only life won't make it
Or just burn away

Imagination?
