Perfect World lyrics - peter cetera

Little White House in a little old town
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Stars shine bright when the sun goes down
it's a perfect world as long as you're there

Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
and you're lying next to me

Blue sky over fields of green
I'm as happy as I've ever been
One thing makes it all so clear
it's a perfect world as long as you're there

Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up in the morning
Sunlight shining upon your hair
and you're lying next to me

Count my blessings and save my prayers
Love waking up every morning
The Sun is shining upon your hair
when you're lying next to me
and it's where I wanna be

Don't wanna live near the lights of the city
I like it right where I am
just to be part of a woman in love
with the heart of a simple man
(mhmhmhmm)
Count my blessings and save my prayers
love waking up in the morning
sunlight shining upon your hair
and you're lying next to me

Count my blessings and save my prayers
love waking up in the morning
the sun is shining upon your hair
when you're lying next to me
And it's where I wanna be.

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Ohoo when you're next to me
I'm exactly where I wanna be

Rain Love lyrics - Peter Cetera

Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Threw out my old raincoat
Set sail without a boat
For places somewhere far beyond my dreams
As the sky came pouring down
I lay down on the ground
Like I was dreaming, I let the feeling wash all over me

Rain Love Covered around me
Rain Rain Love Finally found me
This time you're gonna recognise
One drop will open up your eyes
Rain Love

It's the colour of every sky
It's the way to change the tide
When the world is crumbling down on you and me
It's the calm that lifts the storm
It's the promise that keeps you warm
When you don't understand, just touch the guiding hand that comforts me

Rain Love...

Takes this lot to make you realise
No greater love could ever fill the sky

Rain Love....

Just Like Love lyrics - Peter Cetera

See the color of roses
Sail across America
I couldn't wait to find you
I'm looking for a miracle
And somewhere out of the blue
In the heart of getting by

[CHORUS:]
It only takes a second to learn
It only takes a second to hurt
And it's just like love to be the hardest thing
It's just like love to be everything [Repeat]

An illusion of laughter
Lost in a desert sky
That's how I feel without you
I can't take another night
Somewhere out of the blue
From my heart and in your eyes

[CHORUS]

Oh I can feel it all
Right or wrong I'm here
Here for you

[CHORUS (Repeat to fade)]

Feels Like Rain lyrics - Peter Cetera



Here I go again
Hanging on to the bitter end
All alone
Nothing left to lose
Don't want to face tomorrow
I can't sleep tonight
Blame it on the weather
Till I get over you.

[Chorus:]
Feels like rain
Feels like I'll never fall in love again
There's a cold wind blowing every cloud my way
And it feels like rain today

Taking down every picture
Hanging on every wall
Broken dreams, painfull memories
Like the times I never listened
And the times I didn't try
It's gotta be the weather
'Cause you're not here with me

[Chorus:]
Feels like rain
Feels like I'll never fall in love again
There's a cold wind blowing every cloud my way
And it feels like rain today

Regretting every minute
Since I watched you walk away
Cause it's not the same without you
And now the clouds are hiding
Every sunny day
I guess I'll stay inside again
Cause it feels like rain today

Feels like rain
Feels like we'll never fall in love again
There's a cold wind blowing every cloud my way
And the clouds are hiding every sunny day
and the storm is coming so I'm here to stay
'Cause it feels like rain today
Yes, it feels like rain today

I'm Coming Home lyrics - Peter Cetera

Every time I wake up somewhere faraway
Counting all the minutes back to yesterday
I wonder what you're doing, do you feel this way
Are you thinking of me too

Looking in the mirror all I wanna see
Is your pretty face smilling back at me
There's nowhere in the world that I would rather be
Than to be back home with you

[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I promise you that I won't be long
I just called, called you to say
I've missed every little moment without you
And I can't wait for us to be alone
I'm almost in your arms, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

At night when I'm alone I really miss your touch
I hold on to your picture and it means so much
To know that there is someone out there just for me
And do you feel the same way too

Everywhere I go I wish that you were there
Everything I do I wish that we could share
Everywhere I go- makes me miss you so

[Chorus]

I can touch you anytime I close my eyes
Baby, you can feel it, if you just believe
I'm coming home

[Chorus]

It's Only Lovev lyrics - Peter Cetera

(originally by The Beatles)

I get high when I see you go by
My oh my.
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies,
Butterflies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.

Is it right that you and I should fight
Ev'ry night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
Very bright.
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you

Rule The World lyrics - Peter Cetera

There's a garden of hope
In a town called faith
And the state of Happiness
Is not far away
From the country of wants and the sea of needs
I'll take you there with me

Someday when I rule the world
Gonna stand by you
Love you all I can
You're beautiful
The reason I believe
Don't give up on me
I'll make it wonderful
When I rule the world

When I look into your eyes
Oohh it just amazes me
And the way I feel inside
When your changing me
Through the sweat and the tears
Moving step by step
I'll do anything for you

Someday when I...

High, High above it all
In the sky you promised I choose to stand
Stand by you I'll stand by you

Someday when I....

the reason I believe
Oh don't give up on me
I'll make it wonderful when I rule the World

Have A Little Faith lyrics - Peter Cetera


Dry those tears
From your eyes
Maybe I can help you
A few more hours until the light
And I will hold you
You've waited patiently
Don't ever doubt your faith in me
Baby, hold on a little longer

[Chorus:]
And when the night is falling
And it's more than you can take
Remember that I love you
Have a little faith
And just like the morning
I'll be there when you awake
Close your eyes, right now, I'm on my way
If you just have a little faith

Even now my heart has wings
I can't wait to see you
As I lie beside you in my dreams
I can't wait to touch you
Tonight my body lives
To cross the miles, to kiss your lips
Baby, hold on a little longer

[Chorus:]
And when the night is falling
And it's more than you can take
Remember that I love you
Have a little faith
And just like the morning
I'll be there when you awake
Close your eyes, right now, I'm on my way
If you just have a little faith
Have a little faith in me right now

[Repeat chorus and fade]

Only Heaven Knows lyrics - Peter Cetera

Why ask Why
Show yourself some mercy
Don't be shy
You don't have to look away
It's alright
You don't have to know the answers
In your heart you know you'll do
The Very best you can

Sail away tonight, on the ocean of forgiveness
We cannot decide which way the wind will blow
Baby close your eyes, let go of tomorrow
Some things in life, only heaven knows.

Face the sky, like I never heard you
Live your life you don't have to be afraid
Here inside are those who trully love you
There's nothing you can ever do
To make them turn away

Sail away tonight...

Us now baby
Oohh now and don't you cry
Say a little prayer to heaven
And I will sing a lullaby

Sail Away tonight...

Whatever Gets You Through (Your Life) lyrics - Peter Cetera

Hey-hey now can't you see
That's life
Take a look around you now
Some days you shine
Some days it all unwinds

Fly-high above your fears
Be sure
Never let them rain on you
And should they fall
Then after all

[CHORUS:]
Whatever gets you through
It takes
Whatever gets you through
Believe
Whatever gets you through
Your life

I'm so tired of always finding my world so bare
Look around you now
Life isn't always fair
Whatever gets you through
Will get you there [Repeat]

[CHORUS (X2)]

If You Leave Me Now lyrics - Peter Cetera

(originally by Chicago)

(Don't go, please don't go...)
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come to far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby, please don't go

The Next Time I Fall lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Amy Grant)

Love, like a road that never end
How it leads me back again to heartache
I'll never understand

Darling, I put my heart up on the shelf
'Til the moment was right
And I told myself

Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Oh now, as I look into your eyes
Well, I wonder if it's wise to hold you
Like I've wanted to before

Tonight, ooh, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life
In this heart of mine

Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try

Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The next time I fall in love
the next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Do You Love Me That Much? lyrics - Peter Cetera

Sometimes at night I lay awake,
Just to watch you sleep, hear each breath you take.
When the morning lights your face,
I just wanna hold you, and forget the day.
I live and breathe your every touch
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?

When you look at me across the crowded room,
Suddenly I wanna be alone with you.
I hang on every word that leaves your lips,
Anticipate the moment when I feel your kiss.
Enough of you is not enough.
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?

For so long, I've been trying to believe,
That someday, you'll fall as deep as me.
But it's just not there, love isn't always fair.

Would you want the best for me,
And I hope I find the kind of love you can't feel for me.
Could you find it in your heart,
To end this thing right now before it's gone too far
Let me go and give me up
Do you love me, do you love me, do you love me that much?
Do you love me that much?

Feels Like Heaven lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Chaka Khan)

All through my wandering years
I always said
I was biding my time
All alone in the dark
I'd faced my fears
That no other heart would come to mine

At first when you found me
It took me a while
'til I realised
Why I felt weak
When you were around
Why I couldn't speak
When I looked in your eyes

All this time
I've been searching
Until you, I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love
Could feel like heaven
Watching over me

Wherever you are
Invisible hands reach over the miles
For every wish
You make to the stars
There's one silent kiss
I send to the sky

All this time
I've been searching
Until you I was lost in my dreams
And I [pause] never knew that love could feel like heaven
Watching over me

Everything's changed
Since you came my way
(Since you came my way)
You put the colour
In a world of grey
And you make the love
That carries me away

All this time
I've been searching
Until you
I was lost in my dreams
And I never knew that love could
Feel like heaven
Watching over me
You know that it feels like heaven
Watching over me

Watching over me

Feels like heaven

You're The Inspiration lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Az Yet, David Foster)

(originally by Chicago)

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love to last forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul

Baby, you're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you

And I know, yes, I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
Now I know, now I know
That I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know
Everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul

Baby, you're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you

Wanna have you near me
Wanna have you hear me saying
No one needs you more than I need you

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
Bring feeling to my life

You're the inspiration
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody

Always on my mind (No one needs you more than I)
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind (No one needs you more than I)

I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye) lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Agnetha Fältskog)

Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
Memories never lie
Still we talk about the way that it was
And I think we both know the feelings haven't died

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
Da Da

Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
You say we've both changed and your always on my mind
I can tell you that it's over and done but I would only lose
Being close to the one that I want
So go on and ask me if I'm still in love with you

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
Da Da

There was no need for you to ask - please don't ask
You oughta know by now, ooo babe, I want you back

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night

I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night

She Doesn't Need Me Anymore lyrcics - Peter Cetera

Don't know when she started changing
Don't know how it's come to this
Seems like yesterday she was in my arms, begging for a kiss
Now the winds of change are blowin'
And they're taking her away
I will do my best not to hold her back,
But there's nothing more to say

She doesn't need me
She's gonna leave me
She needs some time on her own
I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me anymore

It's so hard to watch belive me
It's so hard to be alone
I just hope and pary that there'll come a day,
She'll find the road back home

She doesn't need me
She's gonna leave me
She needs some time on her own
I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me anymore

If I pretend to be happy, I'd only be fooling myself
'Cause here in my heart I know that I'm dying
And it's tearing me apart, baby I'm crying

I should have told her
Now I can't hold her
Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me now

Wish it could be like before
But she doesn't need me anymore

Baby, What A Big Surprise lyrics - Peter Cetera

(originally by Chicago)

Right before my very eyes
I thought that you were only fakin' it
And like before my heart was takin' it

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes

Yesterday it seemed to me
My life was nothing more than wasted time
But here today you've softly changed my mind

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
Baby what a big surprise

Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
Baby what a big surprise

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
Baby what a big surprise

(I Wanna Take) Forever Tonight lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Crystal Bernard)

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough, I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night I go crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you baby
I don't wanna play rough I've been loving you enough
Oh Baby

[Chorus]
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door all I need is in your eyes
ooooo I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lip, I'm on fire
You're the only one I'll ever desire
Turn the light down low, make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight it's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do when you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you baby

[Chorus]
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door all I need is in your eyes
wo ooo- I, wanna take forever tonight

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see whay drives you out of your mind (oh baby)
I never wanna leave I only wanna be with you
'CauseI love how you feel your love is so real

[Chorus]
oh ya know
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever (moment forever)
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever (moment forever)
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

After All lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Cher)

Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight

I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you

After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

When love is truly right (this time it's truly right)
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
Oh, and on the way it grows
But it never disappears

After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is livin' for?

After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

S.O.S. lyrics - Peter Cetera (with Ronna Reeves)

(originally by ABBA)


Where are those happy days
They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you
But you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice
Used to be so good

So when you're near me
Darling can't you hear me
S.O.S.
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me

S.O.S.

When you're gone
How can I even try to go on
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on
You seem so far away - though you are standing near
You made me feel alive but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love
It used to be so good

The End Of Camelot lyrics - Peter Cetera

Here I go again
Driving to the edge of town
Need to be alone when I'm thinking
With no one else around
I've always been a dreamer
And from here I dream a lot
And now I see the end of Camelot

[chorus]
If anyone could have a change of heart
Maybe you could change your mind
But if you're giving up - If you're letting go
Don't let me be the last to know

Here I go again
Walking down the same old streets
I don't wanna see anybody
I wanna be discreet

I'm a firm believer
And I once believed in you
But now I can't believe all the things
You're putting me through

[chorus]

I'm not thinking straight - I'm not feeling great
I'm not sleeping too well
I'm not doing what I know I can - I can't help myself
Only time will tell

[chorus]

Faithfully lyrics - Peter Cetera

Some say it's just the nature of the beast
When you love somebody so passionately
Time has a way stealing
That raging fire you're feeling
Leaving the ashes laying at your feet

Those fools of little faith will never know
Those higher places two hearts can go
Where time is standing still
And love will burn until
The heaven and the earth have come and gone

This fire inside for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as there's a river searching for an endless sea
I will always love you... faithfully

Tonight we'll raise a glass to lovers, across the ages
We'll hold each other and toast to the day
When history (is) said and done and we'll still stand as one
Some things were never meant to fade away

This fire inside for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as there's a river searching for an endless sea
I will always love you ...faithfully

This fire inside for you is constant as the morning star
And you will be forever in my heart
As long as there's a river searching for an endless sea
I will always love you... faithfully

(I Wanna Take) Forever Tonight lyrics - Peter Cetera

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough, I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night I go crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you baby
I don't wanna play rough I've been loving you enough
Oh Baby

[Chorus]
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door all I need is in your eyes
ooooo I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lip, I'm on fire
You're the only one I'll ever desire
Turn the light down low, make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight it's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do when you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you baby

[Chorus]
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door all I need is in your eyes
wo ooo- I, wanna take forever tonight

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see whay drives you out of your mind (oh baby)
I never wanna leave I only wanna be with you
'CauseI love how you feel your love is so real

[Chorus]
oh ya know
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever (moment forever)
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever (moment forever)
I'm gonna give you all the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

Apple Of Your Daddy's Eye lyrics - Peter Cetera

I remember when you were born
I felt like one lucky
Son of a gun

And when you turned into two
I was so happy
When you said I love you

Held you in my arms so tight
I'd never forget
The best years of my life

[chorus]
Apple of your daddy's eye
Wanna be the one to hold you in the night
Apple of your daddy's eye
Oh, oh sleep tight
Don't you worry gonna be alright

I remember when you were three
You were so lovely
So very pretty

And when you turned into four
I finally realized
What God put her here for

[chorus]

If I had my way
Time would stand still
You'd stay as sweet as you are
But time waits for no one
It never will
Your gonna leave me soon enough
I'm just sad 'cause you're growing up

Held you in my arms so tight
I'd never forget
The best years of my life

[chorus]

Don't stop ever lovin' me because
You're the apple of your daddy's eye

[repeat and fade]

One Clear Voice lyrics - Peter Cetera

The whole world is talking
Drowning out my voice
How can I hear myself
With all this noise
But all this confusion
Just disappears
When I find a quiet place
Where I can hear

[chorus]
One clear voice
Calling out for me to listen
One clear voice
Whispers words of wisdom
I close my eyes
'Till I find what I've been missing
If I'm very still, I will hear
One clear voice

I'm always searching
For which path to take
Sometimes I'm so afraid
To make mistakes
From somewhere inside me
Stronger than my fears
Just like the sound of music
To my ears, I hear

[chorus]
