CLAY AIKEN – You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn’t me who changed but you
And now you’ve gone away

Don’t you see
That now you’ve gone
And I’m left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?

You don’t have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don’t have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I can’t help but love you
But believe me
I’ll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All that’s left is loneliness
There’s nothing left to feel

You don’t have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don’t have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me

You don’t have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You don’t have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

CLAY AIKEN – Without You

Well, I can’t forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Well, I can’t forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it’s only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

[CHORUS:]
I can’t live, if living is without you
I can’t live, I can’t give anymore
I can’t live, if living is without you
I can’t live, I can’t give anymore

Well, I can’t forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that’s just the way the story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

[guitar solo]

[CHORUS 3x]

I can’t live, if living is without you

CLAY AIKEN – Who’s Sorry Now?

Who’s sorry now, who’s sorry now
Whose heart is achin’ for breakin’ each vow
Who’s sad and blue, who’s cryin’ too
Just like I cried over you

Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now

Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now

CLAY AIKEN – Where I Draw The Line

It’s all as it should be
You’re the best thing that ever happened to me
I melt every time we kiss
I never felt anything like this
It’s almost too perfect
And just like the thunder brings the rain
Something beautiful brings on the pain

It looks like it’s going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don’t know how
I’ve been here one to many times
Seems like whenever I let somebody get this close
I’m right back where I got hurt the most
And that’s why, oh that’s why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

I wish I could just forget
Not have one more regret behind me to remind me
What I’ve given up
Could I ever live with this
Knowing that I might have missed my last chance
For love to find me
I could stay here drowning in the rain
Unless you have the strength to save me
Nothing’s going to change

And it’s going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don’t know how
I’ve been here one to many times
Seems whenever I let somebody get this close
I’m right back where I got hurt the most
And that’s why, oh that’s why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

Either you’re gonna rescue me
Or you’re gonna be the death of me

It’s going to be the same this time around
I want to let you in but I don’t know how
I’ve been here one to many times
Whenever I let somebody get this close
I’m right back where I got hurt the most
And that’s why, oh that’s why
Around my heart is where I draw the line

Around my heart is where I draw the line

CLAY AIKEN – When You Say You Love Me

I’ve been watching you, from a far and the way you make your way around the bar. You laugh like your really entertained and
you smile like its your favorite game. Now your moving closer to me and our eyes are connected emotionally. I’m not looking
for a one night stand, Or a place for a broken heart to mend, I know everybody hear wants to hold ya. I know what it’s like
cause i feel the same. When you look in my eyes there’s a part of me that’s still afraid.

[Chorus:]
And when you say you love me do you mean it, baby when you hold me do you feel it? Should I believe in magic in your eyes,
I would wait until the end of time to hear you say you love me like you mean it, baby when you hold me make me feel it. All
i wanna do is make you mine I’ve been hurt way too many times.

They say if you wanna make god laugh, then all you gotta do is tell him your plans. I know that the timing’s not right,
Didn’t know that I would meet you tonight. Its not that i don’t really like the attention, I feel like the only man in the
room. Are you really sincere, is this just something that you do?

[Chorus]

Again and Again and again I’ve been hurt my friend till the end…, You know I’ve been high i’ve been low I got no plaace else
left to go, again and again and again when will this search ever end?

[Chorus]

CLAY AIKEN – When I See You Smile

Sometimes I wonder
If I’d ever make it through
Through this world
without having in you
I just wouldn’t have a clue
Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world’s closing in on me
And there’s no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me
Sometimes I wanna give up
Wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything’s alright
Everything’s alright
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me
Oh yeah
Baby there’s nothing in this world that could ever do
What the touch of your hand can do
It’s like nothing that I ever knew
Hey
And when the rain is falling
I don’t feel it
Cause you’re here with me now
I wanna ask you baby
It’s all Ill ever need
All I’ll ever need
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
When I see you smile baby
Baby when I see you smile at me
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
And everything’s alright
Hey everything’s alright
It’s alright
When I see you smile
I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light
Oh I see it shining
right through the rain
Yeah
When I see you smile
Yeah I can face the world
Oh you know I can do anything now
When I see you smile
Oh yeah
Baby when I see you smile
Smile at me

CLAY AIKEN feat. David San – What Kind Of Fool Am I?

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinkin’ of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!

What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I’ll know what kind of fool I am!

Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I’ll kno’ what kind of fool I am!

CLAY AIKEN – What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?

Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s
New Year’s eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year’s eve

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year’s
New Year’s Eve?

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations
You received

Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year’s
New Year’s Eve?

CLAY AIKEN – Weight Of The World

Has anybody else but me
Ever felt this way before
Like the world is spinning much too fast
And you’re falling through the floor

Struck by lightning
It’s so frightening
When the morning feels like war
Unbreakable, don’t you wish you were unbreakable

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don’t get down on you
Don’t you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin’ to carry the weight of the world

Some folks say that we’ve been blessed
And I know deep down they’re right
But when you’re feelin’ cold, alone and desperate
And can’t get through the night

It seems the only time you test your wings
Is when you’re crashing through the sky
Unbreakable, don’t you wish you were unbreakable

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don’t get down on you
Don’t you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin’ to carry the weight of the world

Has anybody else but me ever felt this way before

[Chorus]
So when you fall down down down
Don’t get down on you
Don’t you know that everybody gets down down down
Why you tryin’ to carry the weight of the world

I know it’s hard to see
From where you are right now
I know it’s hard to breathe
Just let the world go round round round

CLAY AIKEN – Unchained Melody

Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time

And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I, I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers shy, wait for me, wait for me
I’ll be coming home, wait for me

Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch
A long lonely time

And time goes by
So slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine?

I need your love
I, I need your love
God speed, God speed your love to me
I, I need your love
God speed, God speed your love to me

CLAY AIKEN – Touch

Blue, is the ocean in your eyes,
Blue as cool September skies, as a lonely waterfall.
Red, is the fire in your heart,
for the passion and love that we make as the sunset is fading away.

Angel, heaven starts here tonight in your arms,
wanna drown in your body get lost in your charm.
Now that you’re here, angel dont go, lets keep the move nice and slow

All I want is your touch, all I want is your heaven right here by my side, every night.
All I want is your touch, all I want is your tenderness here in my life, every morning and night.
Girl cause your touch is so right

Yes, I’ve been thinking about you.
I’ve imagined the feel of your body and how it will be when we move.

Darling, magics alive tonight in your arms
wanna drown in this moment, get lost in your charm.
Now that you’re here, don’t move too fast lets make the moment last.

All I want is your touch, all I want is your heaven right here by my side, every night.
All I want is your touch, all I want is your tenderness here in my life, every morning and night.
Girl cause your touch is so right

I don’t want nobody else and you see that my body is aching,
I’m hopelessly taken by you.

All I want is your touch, all I want is your heaven right here by my side, every night.
All I want is your touch, all I want is your tenderness here in my life, every morning and night.
All I want is your touch, all I want is your heaven right here by my side, every night.
All I want is your touch, all I want is your tenderness here in my life, every morning and night.
Girl cause your touch is so right
your touch is so right

CLAY AIKEN – This Is The Night

When the world wasn’t upside down, I could take all the time I had
But I’m not going to wait when a moment can vanish so fast

‘Cause every kiss is a kiss you can never get back

Lift me up in your arms
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you’d be right
I’ve been waiting forever for this
This is the night

When the answer to all my dreams is as close as a touch away
Why am I here holding back what I’m trying to say?

Lift me up in your arms
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you’d be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we’ll fly
I’ve been waiting forever for this
This is the night

This is the night where we capture forever and all our tomorrows begin
After tonight, we will never be lonely again

Lift me up in your arms
If you told me that is what Heaven is, well, you’d be right
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the ends of the Earth and we’ll fly
I’ve been waiting forever for this
This is the night

CLAY AIKEN – The Way

There’s something ’bout the way you look tonight,
There’s something ’bout the way that I can’t take my eyes off you.
There’s something ’bout the way your lips invite,
Maybe it’s the way that I get nervous when your around.
And I want you to be mine
and if you need a reason why,

[Chorus:]
It’s in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me,
The way that I want you tonight,
It’s in the way that you hold me, and the way that you know me,
When I can’t find the right words to say,
You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way.

There’s something ’bout how you stay on my mind,
There’s something ’bout the way that I whisper your name when I’m asleep Oh girl
Maybe it’s the look you get in your eyes.
Maybe it’s the way that makes me feel to see you smile.
And the reasons they may change
But what I’m feeling stays the same.

[Chorus]

I can’t put my fingers on just what it is that makes me love you, you baby.
So don’t ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside, just thinking bout the way.

[Chorus]

There’s something ’bout the way you look tonight.
There’s nothing more to say then, I feel it in the way.

CLAY AIKEN – These Open Arms

What if everything you ever took for granted, was gone?
And everything you ever thought was right, was wrong?
And what if everyone you ever loved was torn, from the pages of your life?
Would you reach out for tomorrow, or try to turn back time?

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between what’s left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

Did you really love the ones you said you loved, think twice.
And did you make a bit of difference in somebody elses life?
Tell me, is there someone you can count on when you need a friend?
Can you see I need a friend?

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between whats left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

Surrendering high
Give in, stop questioning why
Open your heart up to love & you’ll see you will find

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between what’s left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

CLAY AIKEN – There’s A Kind Of Hush

There’s a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love

Just the two of us
And nobody else insight
There’s nobody else
And I’m feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Get closer now
And you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
“I love you forever and ever”

There’s a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us are falling in love

So listen very carefully
Get closer now
And you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
“I love you forever and ever”

There’s a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
People just like us are falling in love
All over the world
People just like us are falling in love

CLAY AIKEN – The Real Me

Foolish heart looks like we’re here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don’t let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I’m empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?

But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I’m tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I’ve made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You’re turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I’m loosening my grasp
There’s no need to mask my frailty
Oh, cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

CLAY AIKEN – Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
A beautiful sight
We’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we stroll along
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say “Are you married?”, we’ll say “No, man,
But you can do the job when you’re in town.”

Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin’
In the lane, snow is glistenin’
A beautiful sight
We’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain’t it thrillin
Though your nose gets a chillin
We’ll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

CLAY AIKEN – Suspicious Minds

We’re caught in a trap, I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?

We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So if an old friend I know, drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here we go again asking where I’ve been
And you can’t see these tears are real, I’m crying

We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh, let our love survive
Oh, dry these tears from your eyes
Let’s not let a good thing die
When you know I’ve never lied to you, no, no

We’re caught in a trap, I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can’t you see what you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?

We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
(Suspicious minds)
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh, we’re caught in a trap, I can’t walk out
We’re caught in a trap, I can’t walk out
(Suspicious minds)
Oh, why can’t you see, I love you too much, baby
(Suspicious minds)

We’re caught in a trap, I can’t walk out, I can’t walk out
(Suspicious minds)
I can’t walk out, I can’t walk out
(Suspicious minds, suspicious mind)

CLAY AIKEN – Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you’re not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it’s all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It’s sad, so sad
It’s a sad, sad situation
And it’s getting more and more absurd
It’s sad, so sad
Why can’t we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

CLAY AIKEN – Something About Us

Stop the music, play the song
We’ll dance together all night long
The spotlight glows, somehow it knows,
That there’s something about us
Something about us

People smile when they walk by
There’s too much magic to deny
A fool can see we’re meant to be
’cause there’s something about us,
something about us

The words on every poet’s tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it’s about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven’t written yet
It’s old and new, it’s a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

You can see it in our ways
in how we spend our nights and days
A crazy laugh, a photograph
There’s just something about
something about us

The words on every poet’s tongue
Every love song ever sung
about us, it’s about us
From Romeo and Juliet,
to plays they haven’t written yet
It’s old and new, it’s a classic tale of two
of our perfectly perfect love

So stop the music, play the song
And we’ll dance together all night long
We’ll reminisce of moments like this
Cause there’s something about us
something about us
yes, there something about us….
