Toto Best Ballads

And they are :
 



Secret Love

He never felt that she cared
Turning to leave
Feeling her lonely stare
If only a secret love

Left more than a broken heart
Like a fool thnks he felt the start
Of what he hoped for so long

He waits though he knows she's gone
Alone he climbs
Until he falls

Only a secret love brings more than a broken heart

Like a fool I have played the part
Of what I hoped for so long
The need to belong...
In love



I'll Be Over You

Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny
Passes by

There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
That's how our love must be
Don't ask why

It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you

Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin'
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
I'll be over you

Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same

There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you (Chorus)

Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become (Chorus)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you (Chorus)

Back



99

99, I've been waiting so long
Oh 99, where did we go wrong
Oh 99, I love you

99, I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99, how can we be apart
Oh 99, I love you

Chorus:
I never thought it would happen
I feel quite the same
I don't want hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out
No one to blame
You know I love you 99

99, You keep holding my hand
Oh 99, they don't know who I am
Oh 99, I love you

99, I can't take it no more
Oh 99, oh we were so sure
Oh 99, I love you (Chorus)

Mama

Mama, I don't love you anymore
Money's, got me crawlin' on the floor

Lover, I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny, somehow I thought by now you'd know

Chorus:
Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

Mama, please throw me out in the cold
Woman, the love you bought waas never sold (Chorus)

Mama, I don't love you anymore
Sorry, I'm not the boy you're looking for

(See the girl with they eyes on fire
Now he know she's the one he desires)

Somewhere Tonight

When you meet a special person
And it feels good passing time
You tell yourself it's casual
But they have something else in mind

You try to make some reason
A voice calls out from across the room
She runs away without an answer
She runs away too soon

Chorus:
Somewhere tonight
Someone's crying (4x)

We all belong to someone
Sometimes they're so far away
You write down words in letters
Not quite sure what they say

You know that she needs you
And you miss her in your heart
But a certain feeling lingers
That keeps us miles apart (Chorus)

Back



Takin' It Back

I think I'll go it alone, you should've shown me if you cared
Lies will turn a heart into stone, few would have known me if they dared

Chorus:
'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
The house on the cape, the place on the sand
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

Girl how I've tried to forget you, now it would take more than I could buy
Sure I could lie to myself too, but that won't work seeing that I've tried

'Cause I'm takin' it back where it all began
I'd live in a shack eating out of a can
I'd take it all back if it'd just make you understand

Now that I'm feeling assured, you'd better watch your every move
Stop, think about every word, it's looking like you're going to lose (Chorus)

You should've shown me if you cared (repeats out)

Back



I Won't Hold You Back

If I had another chance tonight
I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared

Now you're gone, I'm really not the same
I guess I have myself to blame
Time can't erase the things we said
But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead

Chorus:
You know I won't hold you back now, the love we had just can't be found
You know I can't hold you back now

Now that I'm alone it gives me time
to think about the years that you were mine
Time can't erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared (Chorus)

Back



Anna

Anna please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down, there's still a chance if we can hold out once more

'Cause we started out with love, that was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up

Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Anna you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change, if we turn the page then we can start all again

'Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind (Chorus)

Georgy Porgy

It's not your situation, I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic, it's just that I'm an addict for your love

Not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
You're my only girl
I'm not the only one that holds you, I never ever should have told you
You're my only world

Just think how long I've known you, it's long for me to own you, lock and key
It's really not confusing, I'm just the young illusion, can't you see

Georgy Porgy, pudding pie, kissed the girls and made them cry
Kissed the girls and made them cry, kissed the girls and made them cry/high

Lea

Here's to the few. Who fared - my love
Only for you - I cared - my love
I've given it hope, and I know it's only you
Encased in silence

Here's to the you - who saved - my love
Only to you - I gave - my love
I've given it thought, and it's not all that appears

Chorus:
Lea, how long will you still want me to want you
In and around you
Lea, my concertina
Will you still want me to want you

Here's to the you - who dared - my love
Only with you - I shared - my love
I've given it though, and it's not all that appears (Chorus)

Who cares - what the cynics say
I care - if only you're on your way
Lea - don't let the same be true
Lea - do you still want me to want you

It's a Feeling

It's a feeling, I don't belong here
But a man's on the outside looking in, wondering who's in his old armchair

It's a feeling, you never belonged to me
First you're on the up 'n up, I only look down and see
Only look down and see

You're fighting me, you knew me, all desires
No lock or key can hide the truth you're keeping from mee

(repeats 2x)

It's a feeling...

Rosanna

All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see you eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be

Chorus:
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna yeah
Now she's gone and I have to say
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna yeah (2x)

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna

All I wanna tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad (Chorus)

Back



Angela

Can't eat, can't sleep, can't seem to find time anymore
Somewhere she weeps, her hair gently brushes the floor
I know my way, I know that I'll find her somehow

Chorus:
Angela carries me back to the time
When I knew that her love was still mine
Angela's holding the child in her womb
And I pray that she will be calling soon

Cold moon, dark sky, I'm watching my mind disappear
She sits alone, not knowing that I am so near
Why can't she hear my voice as I call out her name (Chorus)

It's a silly situation, it's just infatuation, no need to be sorry

(first verse, Chorus)

It's a silly situation, it's just infatuation, no need to be sorry

Back



Only You

Waiting for you again, seems like this never ends
I close my eyes and I see your face, and I see it all fading away

Woke up before you again, you're still asleep I can't pretend
I feel like I'm losing you, and I am trying to make everything right

Chorus:
Only you, only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you, holding my heart in your hands
Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

If I could have a second chance, maybe change the circumstance
Imagine if the dream came true, we could start it all over tonight (Chorus repeats 2x)

Only me, say the words I want to hear for all eternity
Only you, holding my heart in your hands
Only me, still trying to understand, whoa no oh oh

Out Of  Love

Paint me a picture of two lovers, show me the lovers torn apart

You made me fall in love with you, the dance of lovers takes two
Somehow the music stopped, and so did our love

I tried to put the pieces together, and I got a grip on my life
They say there's one born every minute who has all for a lifetime
What good is a lifetime if I can't be with you

Chorus:
I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you
When I see your face, my heart cries out for you
I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love

I do admit I really miss you, there are some things time cannot change
And I would be a liar baby, if I told you I didn't care
'Cos it makes a difference, baby when you're not there (Chorus)

I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you
When I see your face, my heart, my heart goes crazy baby
It's what's calling your name (Chorus)

Back



2 Hearts

You said you would wait for me, but something went wrong
The house was empty, your pictures gone
I knew you'd come back one day, our love was so strong
The past behind us, it's here you belong

'Cause I'm deep inside you, you're deep inside me
I always knew that we would always be

Chorus:
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I need to know your love is mine
Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time

You could've talked to me, what changed your mind
I could have been there by your side
You thought you could walk away, but you know that's a lie
This loneliness is hard to hide

It's so easy to surrender, and temptation always finds a way
You must hold on, you know we must hold on, whoa-oh-oh (Chorus)

Two hearts forever, one heart alone, I won't let go of you this time
Take this heart of mine, whoa-oh-oh

Back



Without Your Love

It's late at night, nothin's feelin' right
Since you've gone away
I think I know why you left this time,
But it's still hard to say
I nearly lost it, when he came around you
Now I'm holdin' it all inside and it's killin' me

We used to meet at an old cafe in Chi-Town
At first you could hear the wind stop,
Then my heart would pound
I remember everything you used to do, girl
Now I'm learning something that you already knew

Chorus:
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be afraid
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love

I saw you through the door, with your motor runnin'
I can still hear the sound
I knew then, when you asked him in, you let your guard down
You're talking soft, don't tell me,
I know you're sincere
I just called to tell you I'm the only one here (Chorus)

Back



Stop Loving You

Reflections in my mind, thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well-intended lies, contemplating alibies
Is it really you, or is it me I'm blaming
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though you're gone, I feel you deep inside

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

Chorus:
I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl

There's a window in a heart, I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new, another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing

I held it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close can't be that far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes (Chorus)

Dancing with that look that's in your eyes (Chorus)

Back



I Will remember

I was born in the land of the sun and the tall green grass
And I don't understand how all this has come to pass
How we've come to surround ourselves in a sea of thieves
In a land without learning only the fools believe.

I went driving last night on a dark canyon road
Had the sky to myself but I wasn't alone
Had the pain of my lifetime for my company
How did it end up like this for you and me?

Chorus:
When love breaks the promise the heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed and the hurt is so deep
Between you and I.

Even when love has come and gone and our hearts have moved along
I will remember.
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember. I will remember you.

As I open my eyes to one more day
The wind burns my face as it whispers your name
As it's pulling me forward it tears me free
And the only thing left is the tears for and me. (Chorus)

Back



Can You Hear What I'm Saying

The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity

Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
While the press of a button can shake the world to its knees

Chorus:
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying

There are those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny

Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our lungs are chocking from beathing air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
I say it's time we make a restitution, yes (Chorus)

Can you hear me now (Chorus repeats 2x)

Can you hear me now, I am calling out to you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)

There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long

Can you hear what I'm saying

Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa
