The Lucky Ones lyrics - Peter Cetera

Sometimes you're sentimental
I know exactly what to do
And if I'm temperamental
You calm me down and you pull me through

[chorus]
We are the lucky ones
We have one another
When the end of the day has come
I return to you

Life can be so demanding
Sometimes it's hard to make it through
It's love and understanding
You give to me, I give to you

[chorus]

Our own fairy tale
Our favorite bedtime story
One that we won't forget
We fell in love
We knew from the start
We'd always be together
The first time that we met
Can't forget

[chorus]

All alone in the setting sun
I'll have you and you'll have me

Still Getting Over You lyrics - Peter Cetera


Since you went away
Can't face the day
Just can't face it on my own
Try to be strong, try to carry on
With a broken heart in an empty home

Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Here in my heart I have to admit it's true
I'm still getting over you

I begged you not to leave
I asked you not to run away
Oh but you wouldn't listen
I couldn't change your mind
So you left me here behind
Oh how I miss your touch
And your tender kissing
Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Deep down inside I hate to admit it's true
But I'm still getting over you

Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Here in my heart I have to admit it's true
There's nothing I can do
I'm still getting over you

Still Getting Over You lyrics - Peter Cetera

Since you went away
Can't face the day
Just can't face it on my own
Try to be strong, try to carry on
With a broken heart in an empty home

Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Here in my heart I have to admit it's true
I'm still getting over you

I begged you not to leave
I asked you not to run away
Oh but you wouldn't listen
I couldn't change your mind
So you left me here behind
Oh how I miss your touch
And your tender kissing
Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Deep down inside I hate to admit it's true
But I'm still getting over you

Lying awake half the night without sleeping
Hopelessly thinking of you
Here in my heart I have to admit it's true
There's nothing I can do

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

And I Think Of You lyrics - Peter Cetera

Where did you go - why did you run
What did you need from me you felt we were missing
Now you never write - and you never call

What did you want - I couldn't give
You should've told me baby I would have listened
Why did you leave - when we had it all

And I think of you
Yes I think of you

[chorus]
Everywhere I go - anytime of the day
Every move I make - every word that I say
If I let myself I get carried away
When I think of you
I still think of you

Time on my hands doesn't seem right
I'll never get used to this single life
And now I wonder what you're doing tonight

[bridge]
We got away from it all
In a house upon the hill
I loved you then and I always will
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Happy Man lyrics - Peter Cetera

(originally by Chicago)

Merely by chance
Very unsuspecting
You caught my heart
Unprotecting me
Now I've fallen in love with you

Just when I thought
Life was free and easy
You came along to me
Soft and breezy
Now I've fallen in love with you

[chorus]
And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man
Happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can't understand
Now that I'm a happy man

Be with me now
Love me forever
Leaving you lady
Is something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you

All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated are true
I've fallen in love with you
I've fallen in love with you

Restless Heart lyrics - Peter Cetera

I don't wanna lose you
I don't want you walking away
We're so good together
Tell me it's forever
'Cause I want you to stay

I'll be damned if
I'm living without you
And as long as I live
You will know

I just wanna build
My world around you
Don't want you to go

Don't leave me here
With my restless heart
The one you fill with the emotion
Baby right from the start
'Cause the hardest part is being alone
With my restless heart
Hmmm, with my restless heart

Tell me where you want me
Anytime, I don't care
Tell me when you need me
'Cause baby when you need me
I will be right there
(I will be right there)

I'll be damned if
I'm living without you
And as long as I live
You will know

I will never build
A wall around you
And I don't want you to go

Don't leave me here
With my restless heart
The one you fill with the emotion
Baby right from the start
And the hardest part is being alone
With my restless
With my restless
With my restless heart

I'll be damned if
I'm living without you
And as long as I live
You will know

I just wanna build
My world around you
I don't want you to go

Don't leave me here
With my restless heart
The one you fill with the emotion
Baby right from the start
'Cause the hardest part is being alone
With my restless
With my restless
With my restless heart

Don't leave me here
With my restless heart
The one you fill with the emotion
Baby right from the start
'Cause the hardest part is being alone
With my restless heart
With my restless

Don't leave me here
With my restless heart
The one you fill with the emotion
Baby right from the start
'Cause the hardest part is being alone
With my restless
With my restless
With my restless heart

Even A Fool Can See lyrics Peter Cetera

One big happy family
Together the rest of our lives
As far as our friends were concerned
Everything seemed right

But that's when she told me
She said me it was time to move on
Just something that she kept inside
That told me the thrill was gone

And now I can't believe
I can't believe it's over
Suddenly it's plain to see
She's leaving me and

Even a fool can see
There's nothing left between us
I knew all along something was wrong
But I did my best to deny it
And now I can't go home
She wants to be alone so
Tell anyone who misses me that I'm alright
Even a fool can see

There were times we had nothing
And yet somehow we laughed through it all
There are moments I'll never forget
And some I wouldn't care to recall

And still I can't believe
I can't believe it's over
Suddenly it's plain to see
She's doesn't need me

Even a fool can see
There's nothing left between us
I knew all along that something was wrong
But I did my best to deny it
And now I can't go home
She wants to be alone so
Tell anyone who misses me that I'm alright
Even a fool can see

Nothing more to talk about
It's over when it's over
In the end you both stop trying
In the end it's oh so sad
And you are crying

And now I can't go home
She wants to be alone so
Tell anyone who misses me that I'm alright
Even a fool can see

Won't ya tell me that I'm alright
Even a fool like me

Woo ooo I'm alright
Even a fool can see
Whoa ooo ooo ooo

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

Wild Ways lyrics - Peter Cetera

You and me
We were the last of the line
Young and free
We were two of a kind

We ran the streets together
The night would last forever
Oh do you remember when

Whatever happened to our wild ways
The hungry beat of our younger days
We swore we'd never let them get away
But so long to our wild ways

You and me
Driving to the ocean at night
Running free
Trying to stay ahead of the light

The road ran through the morning
Time passed without a warning sign
Oh we were the reckless kind

Whatever happened to our wild ways
The hungry beat of our younger days
We swore we'd never let them get away
But so long to our wild ways

Baby we could be free once again
I'll take you away from this town
You know I won't let you down
You know I won't let you down

Whatever happened to our wild ways
The hungry beat of our younger days

We swore we'd never let them get away
But so long to our wild ways

World Falling Down lyrics - Peter Cetera

Well I never thought life would be easy
You can take it from me it's not easy
When you're living on your own
And now I face it one day at a time
Then I try to rise each time I fall
Try to find a way of getting through it all

[chorus]
I used to believe in you
Now I need someone else to turn to
And though it's only a matter of time
Then I find that when you lose the magic
Suddenly your world comes falling down
All around you
And though it seems so tragic
Even when there's no one else around
You hear the sound
Of another world that's falling down

Leaving your memories behind me
Hoping that nothing reminds me
Praying that I can forget
And even now I take it one step at a time
And now I face the future eye to eye
I know it won't be easy, but I'll get by

[chorus]

Man In Me lyrics - Peter Cetera

There's a man in me who's lost his way
And he searches for his pride
He's confused by who he's told to be
'Cause he feels the beast inside

He is troubled by the changing times
And he fears his dreams have died
There's a man that's waited
Hoping to be liberated

There's a man in me who
I wanna save
Revive his dignity
Free from his cage
And release the man in me who
Cries for the day
He will be let out
And show us the way
I believe there's a man in me

I have lived inside my mother's eyes
I have felt my father's heart
I am torn between the dark and light
But I won't be torn apart

'Cause there's a man in me who's unafraid
Who only now can feel his rage
He's been taught to hide it
But he can no longer fight it

There's a man in me who
I wanna save
Revive his dignity
Free from his cage
And release the man in me who
Cries for the day
He will be let out
And show us the way
I believe there's a man in me

Here we are
I didn't think we'd get this far
We were overdue
When it's time
To understand the man
Then I can love
The woman in you

There's a man that's waited
Hoping to be liberated

There's a man in me who
I wanna save
Revive his dignity
Free from his cage
And release the man in me who
Cries for the day
He will be let out
And show us the way
I believe there's a man in me

Where There's No Tomorrow lyrics - Peter Cetera


Didn't want to face a long hot summer
Didn't want to spend another lonely night
Didn't want to stay until I met you
You could tell that we were made for each other
Something in the air and the time was right
Came into my life, oh, I can't forget you

I don't want to leave tomorrow
Yes I said it all inside of a letter
That I put in your hand when we walked in the sand
Don't you understand

I don't want to go where there's no tomorrow
You go your way, I'll go mine
Each one missing what they left behind
I don't wanna go where there's no tomorrow
Help me try to make a dream come true
I don't wanna leave if I can't be with you

Wouldn't ever change a thing for a minute
Seems the waters always deeper when you're in it
That's the way it goes
Not the way I planned it

I don't want to leave without you
I don't want to go if you won't follow
Told you once, tell you once again
I don't want this summer to ever end
Gonna be there when I can

The Last Place God Made lyrics - Peter Cetera

I've seen the best of times
I've seen the worst of times
'Been around and I've taken my chances
(But) I could never be tied down
Too many questions--not enough answers

Then I laid eyes on you
I knew right there and then
This would be more than a passing encounter
My fate is bound to yours
I've found a cause right here

And if this is the last place God made
And yours is the last face I see
Just feeling close to you
That's good enough for me

We've seen the best of times
We've seen the worst of times
Been through hell and high water together
Diamond bright and tear stained mem'ries
These are the times I'll remember forever

If you believe in me--like I believe in you
Without a care for the why or the wherefore
I will be there for you
And you'll be there for me

And If this is the last place God made
And yours is the last face I see
Just feeling close to you
It's good enough for me

If this is the last place God made
You know it's the only place I want to be
Just feeling close to you
That's good enough for me

If this is the last place God made
You know it's the only place I want to be
Just feeling close to you
It's good enough for me

Dip Your Wings lyrics - Peter Cetera

If you see me coming up an open road
With an empty glass and a single rose
Take a turn towards the shifting light
There you'll see my shadow lost in the night

Endless flight has no directions now
To a coward's kiss from a hero's vow
If I could find the words, I'd pick up the phone
If I was half a man, I wouldn't sleep alone

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Oh you shook your head like a wild horse
Beneath the southern cross in the frozen North
Oh when our bodies touched on that burning beach
I could have sworn that heaven was within our reach

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Time just crawls here behind my eyes
If the scar heals, can our love survive
Life's only purpose seems so distant now
If there's a chance at all won't you show me how

Send me no more angels on a restless wind
All I ever wanted were the simple things
If a love like ours means anything
Show me a sign, honey, dip your wings

Have You Ever Been In Love? lyrics - Peter Cetera (originally by Leo Sayer)

In the morning light
Half awake and half asleep
Have you ever laid there thinking
Was it all a dream?
But you reach out and she's there
Every moment, everywhere
Have you ever been in love?

Have you ever felt
How far a heart can fall
Have you ever stayed up waiting
For a telephone call
Just to hear her say hello
'Cause you miss each other so
Have you ever been in love?

Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe her
'Cause you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering
What it's all about

And when she's far away

Have you ever felt the need to stray
And tried and then discovered
It just doesn't pay
'Cause with her, you can be true
And with her, you can be you
Have you ever been in love?

Have there been times to laugh
And times you really want to cry
Finding reasons to believe her
'Cause you'd die a little if she lied
And when in times of doubt
Have you ever tried to work it out
But still she leaves you wondering
What it's all about

And when the night comes down
Can you call your house a home
Do you dream you're still together
And wake up alone
Have you ever been in love
The way that I'm in love
Have you ever been in love?

Best Of Times lyrics - Peter Cetera

Things get bad, times get tough
Everybody knows
You gotta be a little stronger
Just to have the things you need
Everybody knows
If you try a little harder
You're gonna live a whole lot longer

Had enough of burnin' up the midnight hour
Going out and stayin' far too long

[chorus]
You got to believe in something
When you believe in something
These are the best of times
You got to have faith in someone
When you have faith in someone
These are the best of times

Don't give up, can't give in
Never lose a minute
It's a long hard road back from nowhere
Love is not what you take out
It's what you put back in it
Take you chance, there's no doubt
Everything will all work out

See my way, I know where I'm goin'
I know I'd never think that I'd ever give up
I want it all as soon as I can
Right where I am

[chorus]

One Good Woman lyrics - Peter Cetera

I am so in love with you
I just can't deny it
Everybody knows I can't deny it
Everybody knows
You can read me like a book
Just like a fortune teller
Everybody needs a fortune teller
Telling you the very truth

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me love that's taking me higher
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You bring out the best in me
With love and understanding
Anytime I need some understanding
You are always there

And if I ever lose my way
You're always there to guide me
Anyone can see you're here inside me
Anyone can see it

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me love that's taking me higher
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
Love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

This is our time, we have it all
We have a way of knowing if we're heading for a fall
We'll work it out and get it right
And when I get home to you
You're such a sight for my poor eyes

This is our time, we have it all
When I come home at night
You're such a sight for my poor eyes

You bring me feelin'
You bring me fire
You give me love that's taking me higher
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

You fill me with hope
Love and devotion
You taught me how to show my emotion
Just goes to prove
What one good woman can do

[Repeat]

Peace Of Mind lyrics Peter Cetera

Every time I have it made
I let it rain on my parade
I need a star that doesn't fade
When I open my eyes
Everything is clear to see
You've given me a destiny
I know there's something left for me
And I found it this time

[chorus]
I don't want it all, I just want a little bit
And I'll never stop 'til I get to it

Being with a woman like you
Is all I ever wanted to do
Give me something I can hold on to
Then I'll have it all

Find a little place in the sun
Won't you tell me I'm the chosen one
Say you need me when the day is done
Then I'll have enough
To get me through my life

[chorus]

I never will reget it
'Cause I'm having the time of my life
I can fly on the wings of our love here in the night
Oh, it hurts if I let it
But it's something I'd rather forget
Now the past isn't holding me down
Oh, don't you know
I've learned to let it go

Heaven Help This Lonely Man lyrics - Peter Cetera


Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's no one else I'm thinking of

[chorus]
I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man

There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space

[chorus]

When she came to me she opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone
And I can't go on

[repeat]

Save Me lyrics - Peter Cetera



Man all alone, caught in raging water
Man overboard, caught in a terrible storm
Throw me the rope, pull me out of trouble
I need someone, someone to keep me warm
Why don't you save me
I'm burning with desire
Why won't you save me
Don't leave me all alone
And it's all right
Wrap me up, baby won't you take me home

Forty below, high up a lonely mountain
Slipping down, baby I'm sinking fast
Throw me the rope, pull me out of this trouble
S.O.S. don't think I'm gonna last

Why don't you save me
I'm burning with desire
Why won't you save me
Come on hold me tight
And it's all right
Don't you know we're gonna have fun tonight

Holding Out lyrics - Peter Cetera

There's nothing outside my window
But the sound of the pouring rain
It oughta be breaking my heart
But I feel no pain
Trying to pick up the station
That'll carry me through this night
Got a fire to keep me warm
'Til I got you in my arms

Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that I'm gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I won't sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love won't forget me, I gotta keep holding out

Girl, I've been dreaming about you
For the better part of my life
At least I can make it without you
One more night

I'm not afraid of the thunder
I won't run away from the storm
Let the stars fall down and break
I don't care how long it takes

Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that I'm gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I won't sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love won't forget me, I gotta keep holding out

There's no other love in the world
I could want any more

Holding out, dug in deep
I got an island that I'm gonna keep
Close my eyes but I know I won't sleep
Holding out
Oh yeah
I know love won't forget me, I gotta keep holding out

Body Language (There In The Dark) lyrics - Peter Cetera

Moment by moment, day after day
Trying your best to forget
It's all behind you, it's part of the past
You've got no time for regrets
Time to start over with somebody new
You've got nothing more to lose
Out for the evening, dressed for the kill
Leaving your troubles behind
Dangerous places, dangerous times
Leave with the first one you find
Live for the moment, who cares if it's right
Who needs tomorrow, you've got tonight

There in the dark, under covers of love
Body language is taking you somewhere you shouldn't go
First name the last thing that you need to know

In the morning you're out on the street
Now's not the time for regrets
Some things are done for the thrill of it all
Some things you'll never forget
Live for the moment, who cares if it's right
Who needs tomorrow when you've got tonight

There in the dark, under covers of love
Body language is taking you somewhere you shouldn't go
First name the last thing that you need to know

You Never Listen To Me lyrics - Peter Cetera

You say not now, it's too late
Now's not the time, it can wait
You never listen to me
Some things are hard to forget
It's time to do something you might regret
You never listen to me

I think that you must be blind
Haven't you noticed that I'm not around
Waisting your precious time

All that I want
Is knowing that someone will notice me
I can't go on
Knowing that you never bother to listen to me

Losing the will to survive
You never act like you know I'm alive
You never listen to me

All that I need
Is knowing that someone remembers me
I can't go on
Knowing that you never bother to listen to me

Scheherazade lyrics - Peter Cetera


He was the sultan of Samarcand
He had a harem of dancing girls at his command
He owned all the eye could see
Something was wrong, he wasn't happy
And then it happened much to his surprise
The loveliest woman he'd ever seen
He asked her name and she replied
Scheherazade

She was the daughter of the Grand Vizier
A real beauty with the heart of gold, she was so sincere
She made a date with destiny
Marry the king, make him happy

He was enchanted on their wedding night
Just a captive under her spell
Spending a thousand and one Arabian nights

All of his body tingled with delight
Hearing the stories she loved to tell
She was a vision, such a lovely sight
Scheherazade

He made a promise on the morning star
He would change, throw away his scimitar
So she came to stay
And that's the why the story goes
Until this very day

One More Story lyrics - Peter Cetera

One more story
Then it's time for bed
One more fairy tale
Then rest your weary head
One more kiss, I'll turn out the lights
Everything's gonna be all right
I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Go to sleep now
You've had a busy day
Hold me in your dreams
I won't be far away
One more kiss then I'll turn out the lights
Everything's gonna be all right
I'll still be here when you wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight

I can't believe just how fast you're growing
I'm gonna cry when you're old enough
To go and be on your own
But until that very moment
Everything's gonna be all right
You'll still be here when I wake up in the morning
Close your eyes, say goodnight
Everything's gonna be all right

Big Mistake lyrics - Peter Cetera


Keeps them all waiting
They're standing in line
He never has to worry about being alone
He's taking his own sweet time
The man's mighty hot
Believe it or not
Every woman's after what the big boy's got
They know it's all a lie but they're taking their shot

He is such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know

It's just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Just a big mistake

Sooner or later they're gonna find out
He never cares about the hearts he's breaking tonight
He's letting it all hang out
The man's mighty tough
Better leave before it starts to get too rough

He such a smooth-talking man
They never want to let him go
He'll be gone when the morning comes
Then they'll be the first to know

It's a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Well, it won't be the first
It definitely won't be the last one you make
Such a big mistake
Just a big mistake
Such a big mistake
Such a big mistake

You might think you oughta call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight
You might think you oughta call him Mr. Right
Baby you might get a big surprise tonight

In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you know you're wrong
Such a big mistake
There's no one to cry to

In the morning when you find him gone
It's a big mistake
You know you've been lied to
In the morning when you're so alone
Such a big mistake
When you're so alone

In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning when you know you're wrong
In the morning when you find him gone
In the morning you'll be so alone, so alone
