Hold on My Heart

by Phil Collins

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we've been here before
We both know what can happen

Hold on my heart
'Cause I'm looking over your shoulder
Please don't rush in this time
Don't show her how you feel

Hold on my heart
Throw me a lifeline
I'll keep a place for you
Somewhere deep inside

Hold on my heart
Please tell her to be patient
'Cause there has never been a time
That I wanted something more

If I can recall this feeling
And I know there's a chance
I will be there
Be there for you

Whenever you want me to
Whenever you call
I will be there

Hold on my heart
Don't let her see you crying
No matter where I go
She'll always be with me

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we've been here before
We both know what can happen
So hold on my heart

Invisible Touch

by Phil Collins

I've been waiting
Waiting here so long
But thinking nothing
Nothing could go wrong
Now I know she has a built-in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling for her

She seems to have an invisible touch
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch
It takes control and slowly tears you apart

I don't really know her
I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same
And now I know she's got something you just can't trust
And it's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling for her

Well, she don't like losing
To her it's still a game
And though she will mess up your life
You'll want her just the same
And now I know she has a built-in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen for her

Magic

by Ric Ocasek

Summer
It turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It's like a merry-go-round

I see you under the midnight
All shackles and bows
High shoes with the cleats a-clicking
A temperamental glow
How could you let me go?

Oh, I've got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you tonight
Oh, I've got a hold on you
I've got a hold on you
That's right

Oh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh, it's magic
Just a little magic
You know it's true
I've got a hold on you

Oh, twisted
Under, sideways, down
I know you're getting twisted
And you can't calm down

I see you under the midnight
Love darts in your eyes
How far can you take it
Till you realize
There's magic in your eyes

Oh oh, it's magic
When I'm with you
Oh oh, it's magic
Just a little bit of
Magic pulls me through
I've got a hold on you

Opening Day

by Dan Bern

We're all undefeated, it's Opening Day
Everybody's shoulder feels ok
Legs are fresh as young ponies at play
And everyone could be MVP on Opening Day

The uniforms shine, the grass is bright green
No one's made an error, ERA's are pristine
Pennant hopes simmer from Wrigley to Yawkey Way
And if you're lucky your grandpa will take you to Opening Day

Opening Day, Opening Day
The visitors take the diamond
In their traveling grays
Opening Day, Opening Day
A single up the middle
And you're batting a thousand, hooray

Opening Day, Opening Day
Gentlemen, start your engines
Up up and away
Opening Day, Opening Day
This is the year
It's gonna be ok

You called in sick, got you a ticket
Can't wait to see the painted lines and the bricks
Popcorn or peanuts, you get your choice
Scully's had six months to rest that Golden Voice

Winter coats and gloves and boots are put away
It's Opening Day
That rookie could be the next Willie Mays
Opening Day
It's really, truly finally here
Opening Day
