Trouble In Shangri-La
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

I remember him
He was very young
No one spoke like him
He was someone
And I carried on
Like I couldn't stop
All of it for us baby

And you...
You got in my way
Stood between me...
And my friends
It was my sin
It was my shame
You were unconscious
To the pain I was in

I hear there's
Trouble in Shangri-La
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey
I hear there's
Trouble in Shangri-La
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back to the sea

With honor be it spoken
To understand this
Light that we carry
And let it light your way
Of course you know
I generally take it

Well, I made accomodations for you
And consider this...
Well, you used to be my love
I make excuses for you

You can consume all the beauty
In the room, baby
I know you can
And I've seen you do it
And it brings up the wind
And it rises around you
In pillars of color

But the promise has been broken
As you walk thru the shadow of death
You try to see no evil
But you are so heartbroken
You say dear God make it stop
Before the dawn of seperation

Brings up the wind
It rises around you
I hear there's
Trouble in Shangri-La
In pillars of color
Trouble in Shangri-La
I make accomodations for you

I guess we don't believe
Things could go that far
We all believe in people
That we think believe in God
Somewhere�in the night
Someone feels the pain
The ones who walk away
Try to love again

(You can consume all the beauty
In the room, baby)
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey

(Because you are so heartbroken)
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back to the sea

(Well, you can consume all
the beauty in the room, baby)
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey

(Before the dawn of seperation)
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back to the sea

(You can consume all
The beauty in the room, baby)
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Down to the sea
Show me the way back, honey

(Ooh... Ooh...)
I run thru the grass
I run over the stones
Show me the way back...

Candlebright
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

For no special reason
I am leaving you
For a while tonight
I'm flying far above you
Still I love you
You make things right

I've been with you before
I'll be with you again
I'll come back for more, yeah
The story has... a strange ending

Chorus
Well, you know me
I'm a nomad
I can't feel bad
About the way I am
I've been rolling around
My whole life
You're my Candlebright
In the window

You guide me back again
And I'll come when you shine
You are not my friend, no
But I am something of a dreamer
I am something of a dreamer
I am something of... a dreamer

Repeat Chorus

Vamp
Still I love my Candlebright
You are not my friend
In the window
But still I love you

You're my Candlebright
Still I love you
In the window
But you are not my friend

You're my Candlebright
But still I love you
In the window
Still I love you
Still I love you
Can't� feel bad
Still I love you
Can't� feel bad

Planets of the Universe
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
Mmmm...
And the days go by

They go into the seas
That have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover

Chorus 1
And the Planets of the Universe...
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon...
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight...
Ooo but I'm afraid... soon there'll be...
No light

No doubt... no pain
Come ever again
Well, let there be light
In this lifetime

In the cool silent moments
Of the nighttime
(Of the nighttime)

Chorus 2
And the Planets of the Universe...
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon...
Or by the day
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, you'll forget the chill of love
But not the strain

Bridge
Now I know...
Well, I was wrong to live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream... no...
I'd still wish you gone
And I will live alone
Yes I will live alone...

Last Chorus
And the Planets of the Universe...
Go their way
(I know you don't believe it)
Not astounded by the sun or the moon...
Or by the day
(I know you don't believe it)
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight...
Well but I'm afraid... soon there'll be...
No light

Vamp
You will never love again
The way you love me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way you're changing...

You will never rule again
The way you rule me

Every Day
~ Written by John Shanks & Damon Johnson ~

Don't keep me hanging on a string
Tell me what I feel is no big thing
Don't turn away I'm listening
Over and over again

Don't give me visions to explain
There are no doubts I feel the strain
Of all my senses yearning
Over and over again

Chorus 1
Every Day I see you
Every Day I need you
Every way I breathe you
On and on and on and on again
Again

It's not important to wonder why
What is just is
No more to imply
This simple thought repeating
Over and over again

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Imagine all the ways to cope
I close my eyes, that gives me hope
It cures the silence

Last Chorus
Every Day I see you
(I see you)
Every Day I need you
(I need you)
Every way I breathe you
(I breathe you)
On and on and on and on

Repeat Last Chorus

On and on and on and on again
Again

Too Far From Texas
Featuring Dixie Chick Natalie Maines
~ Written by Steve Booker & Sandy Stewart ~

Stevie's Verse
There's a plane
It's headed for London
24 hours more and he'll be on it
And I can't show my love
And I can't stop it
Ooh I can't stop it

There a house there
Somebody's waiting
Somebody else's arms
Will wrap around him
In that moment
What will he think then
When I can't touch him

Chorus
Maybe my love could fly over the ocean
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone
All that I really know is that he's going
Too Far From Texas
Too close to home

Natalie's Verse
In a room just outside of Houston
That's where I spend my nights
Trying to get thru to him
He says he's coming back in every letter
But he might never
No he might never

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Does he know how long
I've waited for this love to come
Does he know I'm holding on
And that won't change
No matter where he's gone

Repeat Chorus Twice

Vamp
Couldn't I...
Couldn't I wait
Couldn't he...
Couldn't he stay
One more day
Couldn't I...
Couldn't I wait
Couldn't he...
Couldn't he stay
One more day

That Made Me Stronger
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

Dreams reoccur in my solitude
Breaking my heart
Injuring my mood
With all of the things
That I thought I knew
It was you...

Well the conversation
Rings in my head
"Well you know me better
Than I know myself...
Will you write this for me?"
He says,
"No, you write your songs yourself"
That Made Me Stronger...
It made me hold on to me

Well I remember you caught my eye
It was late September
It was no surprise
He made me better
His songs were soft
And tender sometimes
Well the conversations
Ring in my head
I remember everything
That we said
All those tears that we shared...

"Well you know me better
Than I know myself...
Can you write this for me?"
He says,
"No, you write your songs yourself"
That Made Me Stronger...
It made me hold on to me

Conversations ring in my head
I remember everything that we said
All those tears that we shared
Don't call me when you're lonely

"You know me better
Than I know myself...
Can you write this for me?"
He says,
"No, you write your songs yourself"
That Made Me Stronger...
It made me hold on to me

"Well... you know me better
Than I know myself...
Can you write this for me?"
He says,
"No, you write your songs yourself"
He made me stronger...
He made me hold on to me

Well...
Once more I tell the shadows
Of my soul to stay back
Everything has changed now
And I don't want to go back
And nothing you can say
Can change my mind

No, I don't want to go back
And nothing you say can change my mind
No, I don't want to go back
And nothing you say
Can change my mind
Hey, I don't want to go back
And nothing you say
Can change my mind

It's Only Love
~ Written by Sheryl Crow ~

I think I met my match again
Passing 'round the candle light
In the center of this blizzard
You stood and melted all the ice

Ah, It's Only Love...
Ah, It's Only Love...
Ah, if only love
Comes round again
It will have been
Worth the ride

You were master of so many
But saviour to none
I waged all of my hopes so plenty
On you... and look what I've become

Ah, It's Only Love...
Ah, It's Only Love...
Ah, if only love
Comes round again
It will have been
Worth the ride
What a ride

Some days lonely is not only a word
But faces I have known
And if you see me
Could you free me with a smile
So I can let go

Ah, It's Only Love...
Ah, It's Only Love...
Ah, if only love
Comes round again
It will have been
Worth the ride...

Love Changes
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

It wasn't that I didn't love you
I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried
To make it all better
It was not better for me

The love that I gave you
Was all around you
There was nothing left for me
But I hate to say it
But I saw it coming
My feelings were changing

I only say what
You want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving
I was in tears
He knows my fears

I wish I could figure
A way around this
She says, like a sad song
(Sad song)
I don't understand
The way that I feel
I am terrified of being wrong

Well, I am not happy
I am not crazy
Are you listening
Do you hear
Everything happens for a reason
Stay clear
(Stay clear... stay clear)

I only say what
You want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving
I was in tears
He knows my fears

When Love Changes
In the flash of an eye
It leaves people burning
By the side of the road
You stand there you've
Got nothing to hold
For the first time you are alone
For the first time you are alone

It wasn't that I didn't love you
But I just couldn't make you see
That as hard as I tried
To make it all better
It was not better for me

The love that I gave you
Was all around you
There was nothing left for me
I hate to say it
But I saw it coming
My feeling were changing

I only say what
You want to hear
When there is a conflict
I stay clear
When he was loving
I was in tears
He knows my fears

When Love Changes
In the flash of an eye
It leaves people burning
By the side of the road
You stand there you've
Got nothing to hold
For the first time you are alone
For the first time you are alone

That don't mend the sorrow
Or reinvent the pleasure
Mend the sorrow
Reinvent the pleasure
Oh no, yeah
That don't mend the sorrow

I Miss You
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

When I think about you
I think about how much I
Miss you when you're not around

When I think about you
I think about how much I
Can't wait to hear the sound
Of your laughter
Time and distance never matter

Well I Miss You now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only
He could explain it to me

Seems like yesterday
I think about how much I
Wish that you were
Here with me now

The invisible girl
That was my name
She walks in and walks out
And I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now

Well I Miss You now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only
He could explain it to me
Tell me again

Paris to Rome
London to Paris
Always goodbye
I nearly couldn't bear it
Her heart settles down
She's back on that staircase
On the way up to her place

I Miss You now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only
He could explain it to me
Tell me again

Paris to Rome
London to Paris
Always goodbye
I nearly couldn't bear it
Her heart settles down
She's back on that staircase
On the way up to her place

I Miss You now
I have so many questions
About love and about pain
About strained relationships
About fame as only
He could explain it to me

I Miss You now
I Miss You now
Miss you now

Bombay Sapphires
Featuring Macy Gray
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

You beloved
Were to me
Everything love stood for
To love one another
For awhile was enough
It was all that I lived for
(Yeah)

How can I go on without you
Can I go on without you
(Yeah)
I tell myself this time
I'm gonna have to move on

It's like Bombay Sapphires
Hey, I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart

It is green
Ooh, it is aquamarine
It is colors I have never seen
I can see past you
To the white sand
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It is blue
Ooh, it is not about you
It is all true
You know who I am

The sea never changes not really
It is the constant in my life
I always return here
To the flash of those colors
Through every window
Wind through the night

Here I am dramatic
Here I am not waiting
Here I am not listening
To the call of the wild

It's like Bombay Sapphires
Hey, I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart

It's like purple haze
It's there every day
It's passion never fades
You know what I mean
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's like Bombay Sapphires
(Yeah)
Hey, I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart
(Yeah)
I can mend your heart
(Yeah)
I can mend your heart
(Yeah)
I can mend your heart

Whatever you desire
Whatever you desire
Whatever you desire

Fall From Grace
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire

I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Wake up with a stranger

Chorus
It's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king's horses
Not all the king's men
Could put it back together

You said you wouldn't
Do this for very long
The applause from it all
It is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall
At you...
When the miracle is happening

High priestess
She's the keeper of the peace
In this...
Twice as much... intensified
What people will do
To get... this... high

Chorus
It's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king's horses
Not all the king's men
Could put it back together

Bridge
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
(It all begins again)
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense
(Always so intense)
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well, I came all the way here
Just to watch you
Walk out that door

I didn't ask when
You shook your head
I always accepted what
You said as the truth
And the truth only
Well, it's not enough
That you depend on me
And it's not enough
That you say you love me
It's not enough
To just save face

Because sometimes...
You just Fall From Grace
Sometimes...
You just Fall From Grace

Vamp
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reason
I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Ooo, maybe I've fought this
Long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive
Yeah...
Just to make sure you survive

Love Is
Featuring Sarah McLachlan
~ Written by Stevie Nicks ~

Do you know what this is?
No I don't
But whatever it is
It's very powerful
Have you felt this way before?
Oh, I thought I knew
Do you know that I love you now?
Oh yes I do

Love Is...
You've got the softest lips

You know that I cannot stay
Yes, I know
It has nothing to do with you
Or with love
Oh yes it does

Do not call or come around here
Do not tell
You know that I loved you then
Oh well

Love Is...
You've got the softest lips
Love Is...
The touch of your fingertips
Love Is...
Knowing you won't let go

She awakens things
That he said he thought were dead
He says are you happy now
Oh, yes I am

But when it's over
How then will you feel?
Will you miss those arms
That used to go around you?

So she stood there
In the hallway frozen
In the dark
And her heart broke down
She cried
She fell to the floor

One tear... slid across her lip
To the corner of her mouth
Love Is...
And dropped... to the floor

Love Is...
You've got the softest lips
Love Is...
The touch of your fingertips
Ooh she says, Love Is
Knowing you won't let go
Love Is...
Watching you go
You're so very powerful
Love Is...

Am I happy?
Yes I am
Do I know you love me now?
Yes I do
Do I know you cannot stay?
I know

All about love
All about love
Love Is...
You're so very powerful
