Goodbye Day 
(Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Jeffrey McDonald, Steven McDonald) 

Oh, sincerely 
I must tell you that I really 
Love you dearly 
But you are so obsessed with yourself 
There's no room for me 
You can't give me all the things I need 

We've said all we can say 
Except our last goodnight 
To end this day 
Don't try changing my mind 
You won't find a way 
Just say hello 
To our goodbye day. 

Your reflection 
What you see without detection 
I see clearly 
All your perfect imperfections 
Colors turn to gray 
I know it's time for me 
To go away 

Just look behind you now 
It won't be me who's standing there 

Just say hello to our goodbye day 

We've said all we can say 
Except our last goodnight 
To end this day 
Don't try changing my mind 
You won't find a way 
Just say hello 
To our goodbye day 
 


It's Too Real (Big Scary Animal) 
(Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle, Ralph Schuckett) 

You keep talkin' - who you trying to kid? 
Tryin' to keep your feelings hid 
And I'm a prisoner of the past 
It's so hard to make a good thing last 

We know history 
Over and over, will it repeat 
Hey you, it's only me 
No heart on my sleeve 

Here we go, some things are inevitable 
Don't we know, it could be so beautiful 
It's too real 
Situation flammable 
Love is, love is, love is.... 
A big scary animal 

Hey girl, be a man 
Why'd you let it get out of hand 
Hey boy, be a girl 
Who wants to live in a man's world? 

Come down, feel the ground 
We can't keep going 'round and around 
I know it's only you 
Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Can I refuse? 

Hey boy, serves you right 
Why'd you have to take that bite 
Hey girl, play your game 
God knows they're all the same 

Hey girl, listen up 
No use drink' from that broken cup 
Hey man, feel the fear 
Someday I'm gonna catch your tears 

Here we go, some things are inevitable 
Don't we know, it could be so beautiful 
It's too real 
Situation flammable 
Love is, love is, love is.... 
A big scary animal 
 


Too Much Water 
(Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Richard Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) 

Dreams in the night 
Dreams overflow 
Building bridges to each other 
Hearts make the waters flow 

Sunlight and diamonds 
Reflecting hope 
Making journeys to each other 
Going where lovers go 

You were sleeping, I was walking 
To the rhythm of the falling rain 
Too much water, to cross over 
All the bridges falling down 

You sing me songs 
With overtures 
From strange exotic places 
Words I've never known 

Wait 'til the morning 
Don't send me back 
Don't send me back across the rainbow 
No return to where I've been 

You were reaching, I was taken 
To the river in the light of dawn 
Too much water, to cross over 
All the bridges falling down 

Falling down 
Come lie beside me 
Lie beside me now 
Beneath the waves 
Beauty surrounds us 
 


Lay Down Your Arms 
(Charlotte Caffey, Ralph Schuckett, Ellen Shipley) 

Your words how they cut so deep 
I can hear you in my sleep 
Lying here, wishing here 
Wishing here, waiting 

You forget I know your tender spots 
But I'll be careful with your heart 
But I'm the one loving you 
So come on and love me 

Lay down your arms 
Lay down, down, down, down 
Why'd you want to go 
And shoot love to the ground 
Lay down your arms 
Lay down, down, down down 
Lay with me 

Sometimes I can be so cold 
I let you in but I don't let go 
Pulling you, pushing you 
Pushing you, pulling 

Don't want to tear our love apart 
Can we find each other in the dark? 
Can we start living here? 
Can we start giving? 

So, we are in love 
So, we are at war 
But we can be on the same side 
 

Where Love Hides 
(Ralph Schuckett) 

I open the door 
You stand there in the rain 
Your eyes say it all 
I know 'cause I feel the same 

Why do we do the things we do? 
How can both of us be so cruel? 
Why are we so afraid? 

Take my hand and step into the light 
As we touch our hearts will open wide 
Kiss my lips and hold me now 
And lie here by my side 
Help me find a place where love hides 
We will find the place where love hides 

I follow you home 
You smile there in the dark 
I hear your words 
How they twist me and tear me apart 

Why do we hurt the ones we trust? 
Is that all that's become of us? 
Why are we so afraid? 

Take my hand and step into the light 
As we touch our hearts will open wide 
Kiss my lips and hold me now 
and lie here by my side 
Help me find the place where love hides 
We will find the place where love hides 
 


One with You 
(Charlotte Caffey, Ralph Schuckett, Ellen Shipley) 

Come wash my body 
Wash away my sins 
And all the ways we hurt each other 
Oh how we hurt ourselves 
I wanna know you now 
Come out of isolation 
I wanna show myself 
Of God, I wanna cry out loud 

I wanna be one with you 
Get down to the real emotion 
I wanna let love break through 
We can kiss the truth 
One with you 
I wanna hold you deep inside my heart 
Feel what love can do 
To know that I am one with you 

Come lie down in my garden 
Leave your mark on me 
I know I can't be scared forever 
Come on and humble me, humble me 

I'm so tired of living in my head 
The precious comfort of my own bed 
I've glorified my spiritual side 
Now take me down to the ground where I can't hide 
I know I can love myself 
I wanna give to someone else 
I wanna know you 
Touch you 
Move you 
Do you 
Feel you live and breathe 
Deep inside of me 
 


Wrap My Arms 
(Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) 

You try to be a mystery 
With all your eccentricities 
Every move is so surreal 
You can't touch what you really feel 

I see a deeper side 
More than you know 
Don't even try to hide 
I've been everywhere you go 

All I want 
Is to wrap my arms around your world 
Break away the chains 
Set you free 
With everything that I can give to you 
Wrap my arms around your world 

You try to push the truth away 
With all your witty repartee 
A psychedelic romeo 
Who thinks and does it all for show 

I see myself in you 
I know we're both afraid 
There is an emptiness 
Behind our masquerade 

All I want 
Is to wrap my arms around your world 
All I want 
Is to wrap my arms around your world 
 


Tell Me 
(Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) 

I think we've both been here before 
There doesn't seem to be much more 
My mind is shut, the door is closed 
Am I alone? 

We're sitting here, we're eye to eye 
We've crashed into a wall so high 
Fear's taken us two prisoners 
Can we let go? 

Tell me your darkest secret, tell me 
Show me what you don't want me to see 
Let me in, I want to know you, hold me 
Tell me your darkest secret 

I'll tell you mine 

We used to live for honesty 
Trust was our security 
We're walking down two different paths 
We've lost our way 

What's wrong with wanting everything 
Dark and light and in between 
What will be our saving grace? 
What can we say? 

Unlock the door, come inside 
There's no reason to be afraid 
Just talk to me 

We can hear the cry of love 
It echoes deep and far above 
What will be our saving grace? 
What will we say? 
 


Windows of the World 
(Charlotte Caffey, Thomas Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) 

Just like a rose without a thorn 
Defenses fade, we've come undone 
Desire, the answer for harmony 
This moment together 
We can see 

Deep into the night 
We're looking through the windows of the world 
Underneath the sky 
We're opening the windows of the world 

We stay afloat on this sea of storms 
The tides of time carry us along 
Beginning and ending with what we know 
Surrender emotions 
Here we go 

Deep into the night 
We're looking through the windows of the world 
Underneath the sky 
We're opening the windows of the world 

Beginning and ending with what we know 
Surrender emotions 
Here we go 

Deep into the night 
We're looking through the windows of the world 
Underneath the sky 
We're opening the windows of the world 
 


Here Comes My Baby 
(Gregg Alexander, Charlotte Caffey, Belinda Carlisle) 

Hello, it's me 
The one who told you no 
I don't care if you don't like it 
But I had to let you know 
That love is at the door 
And it's pounding to be let in 
There's angels on the ceiling 
My heart is on the floor 
And I can't just be your friend 

Here comes my baby, walking back to me 
Here comes my baby, for all the world to see 
Why don't you stay 'til tomorrow 
I don't wanna let you go 
Here comes my baby 

How long did I 
Refuse to see the light 
How could I deny 
It must have been my pride 
You say you're on your way 
Before you go I'll be there 
I've felt a resurrection 
All my senses have returned 
Oh, this I swear 
It won't be long 
(I tell, I tell myself) 
Just be strong 
(I tell, I tell myself) 
Here comes my baby, walking back to me 
Here comes my baby, for all the world to see 
Why don't you stay 'til tomorrow 
I don't wanna let you go 
Here comes my baby
