Lyrics:
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 erase the love we shared
But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
[Chorus]
You know I won't hold you back now
The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby)
You know I can't hold you back now
[Instrumental break]
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
The love we had just can't be found
[Repeat until fade]

Toto - Live at Montreux 1991
Live at the Montreux Casino, Switzerland July 5th 1991.
By the time Toto was invited to play the famed Montreux Jazz Festival in 1991, their success had already been assured. Having established themselves in the ‘70s as an elite band of session players-turned-chart toppers, they were in the midst of a European tour when the call came. It was an appropriate fit. Not only were they able to spotlight their two most prominent hits of the time -- “Africa” and “Rosanna” -- but they were also allowed to express a more progressive posture that would come with their next album, 1992’s Kingdom of Desire. In short, the band were in peak prowess.
Sadly, this marked one of their final appearances with drummer Jeff Porcaro, who passed away the following year. But as Live at Montreux 1991 demonstrates, the core band - Pocaro, his brother Mike on bass and mainstays, singer/guitarist Steve Lukather and keyboard player keyboardist/vocalist David Paich were in prime form.

Lyrics:
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
[Bridge:]
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
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
[Bridge:]
There were the nights holding you close
Someday I'll try to forget them
Someday I'll be over you

Lyrics:
All the questions that you never thought to ask
Always thinking he was there to watch your back
Years that you've wasted... gone
Always in the name of loyalty and faith
All the memories you wish you had not made
Tears, as you taste them, each one a piece of your soul
So cold, as the truth starts to unfold
One voice calling, one tear falling
They echo in emptiness
One bridge burning, last page turning
Don't waste time on regrets
One world's ending, broken, bending
It's time to walk out that door
And to savour the taste of good-bye
It's time for the letting go
Up till now, the road was straight, and smooth, and clear
All at once the path's completely disappeared
Clouds bring the darkness down
Here's a candle and a match to help you on
Till the storm is done, and then you're on your own
A shoulder to lean on, just till you're back on your feet,
Till you're free... till that old smile starts to show
One voice calling, one tear falling
They echo in emptiness
One bridge burning, last page turning
Don't waste time on regrets
One heartbreaking, rude awakening
Some things you just can't control
One world's ending, broken, bending
It's time to walk out that door
And to savour the taste of good-bye
It's time for the letting go
It's time for the letting go

Lyrics:
All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your 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
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Chorus:]
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
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
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Repeat chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Not quite a year since she went away
Who is it? Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say
[Repeat chorus]
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

Lyrics:
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 alibis
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
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you girl
There's a window in the 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
Trying 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
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you girl
Dancing with that look that's in your eyes
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you girl
I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you
Loving you

Lyrics:
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you
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
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
Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you
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
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
