Change Of Heart lyrics - Eric Carmen

I can still recall when we said that our love was forever
All those plans we made for tomorrow that looked so bright
Ah, and I understand all the reasons you gave me for leaving
But that doesn't help when I'm sleeping alone each night

Ah, so if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

I could find someone more than willing to be your replacement
But there's no one else who can move me the way you do
Ah, so for now, goodbye, but if ever you find you still want me
You just call my name, 'cause I'll always be here for you

Ah, so if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

Nothing you could ever do would change the things I know
Deep in my heart
So I got to make you understand before I go
Sooner or later, I don't know when
I'm gonna get you back in my arms again

And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember it's not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

Hey Deanie lyrics - Eric Carmen

(originally by Shaun Cassidy)
Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of

I was a fool for your love
From the moment I saw you
Like a vision in the darkness
Of a thousand lonesome, lonely nights
Like my heart threw away the key
I'm as blind as a man could be
Oh darlin'
Till you help me see the light

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of

I stand accused
I'm in league with the forces of darkness
An incurable believer
In the magic of the midnight sky
And the love that I found today
Oh, I can't let it slip away
Oh darlin', can't you read between the lines

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of

Deanie, love is all there is
I don't wanna lose it
Don't wanna let the evenin' go
If it's here within our reach
I think we should use it
Now while we're young enough
To still let it show

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The stars are dancin'
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love

Hey Deanie
Won't you come out tonight
The summer's waitin'
The moon is shinin' so bright
Hey Deanie you're the one
I'm dreamin' of

Hey Deanie
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
Hey Deanie
You're the one I'm dreamin' of
Won't you come out tonight
You're the one that I'm dreamin' of
I'm a fool for your love
Won't you come out
Come out tonight

Someday lyrics - Eric Carmen

Someday
When I'm cool
She's gonna think about how
She used to treat me so cruel
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

Someday
When I'm gone
She's gonna see how it feels to be
All alone
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

So she said goodbye again
I'm just waitin' for the time to come
When she'll get down on her knees
Beggin', now darlin', please

I've been tryin' every trick I know
But she still walks in
Makes me feel so grim
Seein' her is gettin' harder every day

Someday
When I'm cool
She's gonna think about how
She used to treat me so cruel
On that someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

Man, she'll crawl back to me
Man, she'll crawl back to me
Someday
Man, she'll crawl back to me

Desperate Fools lyrics - Eric Carmen

I've been up too high
I've been down too low
I've been searchin' for somethin'
With nowhere to go
Thought I'd make it alone
But I'm so far from home
In a town full of desperate fools

Oh, the sun beats down
On the L.A. scene
But you can't feel the cold
When the grass looks so green
And the games that I've played
Were not wort what I paid
In a town full of desperate fools

I've been takin' my life
One day at a time
Tryin' to piece it all together
But I know in my mind
That I'm startin' to be
What they want me to be
And I wonder sometimes
What's becoming of me

I've been takin' my life
One day at a time
Tryin' to piece it all together
But I know in my mind
That I'm startin' to be
What they want me to be
And I wonder sometimes
What's becoming of me

'Cause I've been up too high
I've been down too low
I've been searchin' for somethin'
With nowhere to go
And I suppose it's been fun
But I guess I'm just one
In a town full of desperate fools
A town full of desperate fools

"Boats Against The Current" (1977)



Boats Against The Current lyrics - Eric Carmen

I know it's over
You know it's over
We're just going through the motions
But we're sailing separate oceans, world's apart
And you know it's breaking my heart

I was a dreamer
You were a dreamer
But perfection is consuming
And it seems we're only human after all
And we've both been taking the fall

But tomorrow, we'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow, we're going to find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end

Maybe we're older
Maybe we're colder
So we disregard solutions
While we cling to our illusions once again
And we keep remembering when

Seasons are changing
Oh, reasons are changing
But the story isn't ending
So we find ourselves pretending one more day
Oh, while the years keep slipping away

Oh, but tomorrow, we'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow, we're going to find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end

Oh yeah, tomorrow, we'll run a little bit faster
Tomorrow, we're going to find what we're after at last
Feelings that we left in the past
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end
There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end

There's romance in the sunset
We're boats against the current to the end

Marathon Man lyrics - Eric Carmen

Twenty years with my brain in a book
Tryin' to find out who I am
Endless nights and Olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran

Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Don't know how I became
What I suddenly am

Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man

Wind is gone and my head's in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
If I hope to win the race

Someone's callin' my name
It's the crowd in the stands
Concentrate on the pain
Put my soul in command

Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man

Wasting my youth
Chasing dreams, testing truth
Taking turns being deceived
And deceivin'
Bound with a rope
Made of heroes and hope
Till I found nothin' left
To believe in

Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
Marathon man, keep a-runnin'
I've been searchin' so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man

Nowhere To Hide lyrics - Eric Carmen

Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' 'round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete

But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight

Can the future be foretold
In a faded photograph
Can a dream be bought and sold
Well, I guess I have to laugh
Sippin' on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth

But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight

Half-forgotten fragments
Of a high school dance
In the dead white hours of winter
When we loved so hard
That we thought it would never end
Tryin' to remember
How it used to feel
When a kiss was something special
And I wonder now
Will it ever be again

But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight

Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete

But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight

Yes, I know she'll be there tonight

Take It Or Leave It lyrics - Eric Carmen

Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery

(Listen, you better)
Take it or leave it
You've been sleepin' on it much too long
And in the bank of my love
Your account's already overdrawn

I was never a believer in synthetic affection
Love is here or it was never really there at all
But there's a rumor goin' round
While I was out on the road
You were out on the town

(You better)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery

I used to think that you and me
Were different from all the rest
Well I'm a jealous man
Don't you put me to the test

I doubt there ever was a woman
That was sheer perfection
But I never wanna see you with another man
You better make your mind up fast
'Cause I'm in love with you now
But it ain't gonna last

(You better)
Take it or leave it
Won'tcha take my love or set me free
I need to know right now
Won'tcha save me from this misery

Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
You better take it or leave it

Love Is All That Matters lyrics - Eric Carmen

Lost in a dance
Waiting for the chance
All I really needed was to love you
Night after night
Searchin' for the light
You saved me
You gave me something I could feel

Love is all that matters
Faithful and forever
Keepin' us together
Love is all we need
Prisoner of illusion
Sentence is suspended
Loneliness is ended
Love has set me free

Dreams from the past
Comin' true at last
Never noticed how my life was changing
Now I can see
All that love can be
You saved me
You gave me
Something that was real

Love is all that matters
Faithful and forever
Keepin' us together
Love is all we need
Prisoner of illusion
Sentence is suspended
Loneliness is ended
Love has set me free

Love is all that matters
Faithful and forever
Keepin' us together
Love is all we need
Prisoner of illusion
Sentence is suspended
Loneliness is ended
Love has set me free

She Did It lyrics - Eric Carmen

I set to sea on a ship called Emptiness
Cast away on the Island of Loneliness
Looking for love
Ooh, and I was looking for love

You know I, I didn't think she could hear my S.O.S.
But she appeared like an angel of tenderness
Sent from above
Oh, she was bringing me love

Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah

Looking back, making love was meaningless
Till she touched me with her warmth and a gentleness 
I'd never known
Ooh, and she was guiding me home

Now I, now I see all the things in life I missed
Till she opened up my eyes to the limitless
Wonder of love
Oh, and now I'm ready for love

Oh, mama, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Mama, she did it, yeah

I never knew what love was about
Till she came and stole away my heart
Now I'm alive and I know it
And all I ever want to do is show it
Oh, oh yeah

Oh, mama, she
Oh, mama, she
Oh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah

Oh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah
Ooh, she did it
Woh mama, she did it, yeah

I Think I Found Myself lyrics - Eric Carmen

It's been a long time comin'
But I think I've got it figured out
Sometimes the easiest things are still
The hardest ones to learn about

Well I was strugglin' so hard for my freedom
And it was there all the time
But I just couldn't see it

I think I found myself
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for

Well I got sidetracked somewhere
Though I really can't recall just when
I lost my inspiration
And I couldn't get it back again
(No)

I trusted everyone else so completely
Well I was deaf, dumb and blind
But I'll be damned if I'll let 'em defeat me

I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for

I'm tired of tricks and politics
And futures burning bright
I'm on the line and out of time
For once in my life
I'm gonna do what I think is right

I think I found myself
(Don't you know)
I think I found what I'm lookin' for
I think I found myself
I think I found what I'm lookin' for

Run Away lyrics - Eric Carmen

She was just an average blue-eyed
Golden high school dream
An illusion nothing real could ever touch
Funny love seemed so much more intense
At seventeen
When I knew she'd never love me
Half as much

I recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine

Gonna run away
Till I prove that I'm a man
Gonna run away
Be the best I know I can
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

Trades were made for promises
Of a timeless memory
And I knew but still refused to comprehend
The fantasy more glamorous
Then she could ever be
Was the course of least resistance
In the end

I recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine

Gonna run away
Till I prove that I'm a man
Gonna run away
Be the best I know I can
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

Long ago an innocence
Lived deep within my soul
In a yesterday where love
And dreams remain
But disillusion clouds my eyes
And the winter takes it's toll
For the spring has gone
And will not come again

I recall the desperate vow I made
I must find a way somehow to win her heart
I've got to make her mine

Gonna run away
Till I prove that I'm a man
Gonna run away
Be the best I know I can
Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

Got to run away
Got to find my space and time
And I cannot rest a day until I make her mine

"Eric Carmen" (1975)




Sunrise lyrics - Eric Carmen

Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
Make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day

Sunrise, come wrap me in the warmth
Of your crimson sky
I spent a long time believin'
In a dream that had passed me by
But the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the morning sky

From my bed I can hear the world outside
I get up, throw my window open wide
Take a breath of that fresh air
Take a breath of that fresh air
Fresh air

Sunrise, shine down a little love
On the world today
Make a morning so sweet
That it'll have to chase my blues away
Oh, the moon and stars have gone
And I can see the light of dawn
Like a golden smile
Brightening up the brand new day
Brand new day
