Bryan Adams- I Think About You

~*I Think About You*~

I oughta be workin' - but i can't concentrate 

I oughta be sleepin' - 'steada stayin' up late 

When I oughta be doing all the things I should do 

I think about you 

I oughta be writin' - but I can't find the song 

Just sittin' here driftin' - driftin' along 

There's only one thing that I wanna do 

And that's think about you 

I think about you - I can't get no rest 

I think about you - there ain't no one else 

It's all I can do - I can't help myself 

Ya - I think about you 

I could go cruisin' - but I've had enough 

I could go drinkin' - but I can't stand the stuff 

It just don't do me like it used to do 

I'd rather think about you 

I think about you - I can't get no rest 

I think about you - there ain't no one else 

It's all I can do - I can't help myself 

Ya - I think about you

Bryan Adams- Don't Give It Up

~*Don’t Give It Up*~

(ghost track on 'the best of me' album) 

Don't give it up 

Don't give it up 

Don't worry if the sun don't shine 

You've seen it before, you don't need to worry 

Every day's an uphill climb, nothing has changed 

Believe me when I tell ya 

Don't give it up 

Don't give it up 

Don't give up--you know it's true 

Gotta do what you wanna do 

Oh yeah 

Don't give it up--you don't have to 

Gotta do what you wanna do 

Oh yeah 

{whole thing repeats again}

Bryan Adams- I Was Only Dreamin'

~*I Was Only Dreamin'*~

She left her shoes out on the beach 

She left my dreams just out of reach 

She left her footprints in the sand 

She was a bird right in the hand 

I met a girl that made me laugh 

She left a faded photograph 

I thought I heard a siren song 

I sang along but I was... 

I was only dreamin' 

I was only dreamin' 

Visions in my head 

Talkin in my sleep 

Turning in my bed 

Life was so complete 

Her shoes were on the beach 

But I was only dreamin' 

I met a girl that talked in rhyme 

I met a girl who took her time 

I saw the ocean in her eyes 

I saw myself unrecognized 

And all the stars up in the sky 

Fell down like rain and made me cry 

I held the world right in my hands 

I held her close but I was...

Bryan Adams- Here I Am

~*Here I Am*~

Here I am 

This is me 

There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be 

Here I am 

It's just me and you 

Tonight we make our dreams come true 

It's a new world 

It's a new start 

It's alive with the beating of young hearts 

It's a new day 

It's a new plan 

I've been waiting for you 

Here I am 

Here we are 

We've just begun 

And after all this time 

Our time has come 

Yeah here we are 

Still goin' strong 

Right here in the place where we belong 

Oh it's a new world 

It's a new start 

It's alive with the beating of young hearts 

It's a new day 

And a new plan 

I've been waiting for you 

Here I am 

Here I am 

Yeah 

Here I am 

This is me 

There's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be 

Here I am 

It's just me and you 

Tonight we make our dreams come true 

Oh it's a new world 

It's a new start 

It's alive with the beating of young hearts 

It's a new day 

It's a new plan 

I've been waiting for you 

Oh it's a new world 

It's a new start 

It's alive with the beating of young hearts 

It's a new day 

It's a new plan 

I've been waiting for you 

(Waiting, waiting waiting) 

Here I am 

Here I am 

Right next to you 

Suddenly the world is all brand new 

Here I am 

Here I am 

Where I'm gonna stay 

Now there's nothin' standing in our way 

Here I am 

This is me

Bryan Adams- Brothers Under The Sun

~*Brothers Under The Sun*~

I had a dream 

Of the wide open praire 

I had a dream 

Of pale morning sky 

I had a dream 

That we flew on golden wings 

We were the same 

Just the same 

You and I 

Follow your heart 

Little child of the west wind 

Follow the voice 

That's calling you home 

Follow your dreams 

But always remember me 

I am your brother 

Under the sun 

We are like birds of a feather 

We are two hearts thrown together 

We will be forever as one 

My brother under the sun 

Whenever you hear 

The wind in the canyon 

If ever you see 

The buffalo run 

Where ever you go 

I'll be there beside you 

'cause you are my brother 

My brother under the sun 

We are like birds of a feather 

We are two hearts joined together 

We will be forever as one 

My brother under the sun 

Under the sun 

Under the sun 

My brother under the sun

Bryan Adams- Back To You

~*Back To You*~

I've been down - I've been beat

I've been so tired - that I could not speak

I've been so lost that I could not see

I wanted things that were out of reach

Then I found you and you helped me through

Yeah you showed me what to do

And that's why I'm comin' back to you... yeah

Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean

That's how your love will take me home back to you

And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are 

I know that day is coming soon - yeah, I'm coming back to you.

You've been alone, but ya did not show it

You've been in pain, but I did not know it

Let me do what I needed to - you were there when I needed you

Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round

But ya never changed your point of view

And that's why I'm comin' back to you... yeah

Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean

That's how your love will take me home back to you

And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are 

I know that day is coming soon - yeah, I'm coming back to you.

Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round

But ya never changed your point of view

And that's why I'm comin' back to you... yeah

Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean

That's how your love will take me home back to you

And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are 

And I know that day is coming soon - oooh, I'm coming back to you.

I'm coming back to you

I'm coming back to you

I'm coming back to you

That day is coming soon

I'm coming back to you....... yeah

Bryan Adams- A Little Love

~*A Little Love*~

Some people walk the straight and narrow - some walk the rocky road 

Some get the silver spoon and some get the heavy load 

There's a man in a paper box he smiles whenever we walk by 

We just walk a little faster and say "There but for the grace of God go I" 

But a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all 

I've been up and down this highway and I ain't seen a road sign yet 

It's a cold hard world baby you gotta hang on to what you get 

I don't believe in miracles but that don't mean they don't come true 

Well I may not get to heaven but I get a little closer when I'm with you 

But a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all 

Well I get a little tired walkin' down the street 

People on my side - everyone I meet 

But they don't know what's on my mind 

And they don't know that they might find 

A little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all 

Right when you think you don't need love is when you need it most 

Even when you got the father the son and the holy ghost 

Well there's more to truth baby than what we know is true 

Ya we wander round in the darkness 

But every now and then a little love shines thru 

And a little love - just a little love - a little love can change it all

Bryan Adams- Baby When You're Gone

~*Baby When You're Gone*~

I've been wandering around the house all night

wondering what the hell to do

Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you

well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home

I'm tired of being all alone

Got the tv on 'cause the radio's playing

songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love 

days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

I keep driving up and down these streets

trying to find somewhere to go

Yeah i'm looking for a familiar face, but there's no one I know

oh, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane

I hope you're coming back real soon, 'cause i don't know what to do

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love

days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love

days go on and on and the nights just seem so long

Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should

things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone

Bryan Adams- Summer Of '69

~*Summer Of '69*~

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it 'til my fingers bled

It was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard.

Jimmy quit, Jody got married

I should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you've got a job to do

Spent my evening's down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah.

Back in the summer of '69, oh.

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no!

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that it'd last forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah.

Back in the summer of '69, oh.

It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah.

Me and my baby in '69, oh.

It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69, yeah.
