I can't fight this feeling any longer And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow What started out as friendship, has grown stronger I only wish I had the strength to let it show I tell myself that I can't hold out forever I said there is no reason for my fear Cause I feel so secure when we're together You give my life direction You make everything so clear And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window On a cold, dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars, forever Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you I've been running round in circles in my mind And it always seems that I'm following you, girl Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars, forever Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

She grew up with the children of the stars In the Hollywood hills and the boulevards Her parents threw big parties Everyone was there They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax And from the stage I can tell that she can't let go and she can't Relax And just before she hangs her head to cry I sing to her a lullaby I sing: Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye She still lives with her mom outside the city Down that street about a half a mile And all her friends tell her she's so pretty But she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while 'Cause even her smile looks like a frown She's seen her share of devils in this angel town Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye I told her I ain't so sure about this place It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face Seems like everybody's got a plan It's kind of like Nashville with a tan Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
