Because you can't do anything halfway, you've got to go all the way in anything you do.

Halfway To Heaven
Another day has come cant face it on my own
I almost let you walk away and I guess I should have known
Ill give it to you straight cause some things just cant wait
I ve got to make it up to you and Ill pray its not too late
cause when you look at me with those sad blue eyes
It stops me cold and I realize youre all I need tonight
Were halfway to heaven lyin beside you on a night so still
Were halway to heaven I ask you if youll stay and baby say you will
So whats a man to do to get it through to you
Another lost and lonely night would break this heart in two
So lets take a chance and itll be allright
Just put your trust in me toniht girl were almost there
Were halfway to heaven theres something magic bout the way you kiss
Were halfway to heaven runnin with you baby on a a night like this
Were halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high
Were halfway to heaven girl I couldnt leave you even if I tried
You got me captured in a crazy spin
You got me so I just cant tell the shape Im in
Were halfway to heaven theres something magic bout the way you kiss
Were halfway to heaven runnin with you baby on a a night like this
Were halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high
Were halfway to heaven girl I couldnt leave you even if I tried

Halfway Home
words & music by jason mraz
I used to walk along the opposite side of the road and made others get out of my way
I used to think I could sit and wait for the times
but they wont come until I meet them halfway
I'm halfway home and I'm on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
I plan to leave here after supper time
that's when traffic is light, all I need is a sign
and I'll be alright. I'll be fine
I used to think that i could just sleep and then I'd dream
And everything it would come to me
Until I woke one day without anything to eat
Lying on the opposite side of the street
I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own
I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind
Because it ain't my time to stay or say
I'll never lay down.
I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the time
But I know I gotta meet them halfway
I'm halfway home I tried home running with the flow
I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine
All I needed was a sign and I'll be allright.
I'll be fine.
(It seems to be a running theme about being fine and allright but I don't mind.)

Halfway Over The Hill
BY BARRY MANILOW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been workin' all my life
Workin' hard for all my life
Tryin' to find a reason for livin'
Tryin' not to take too much without givin'
Never saw no rainbows in my sky
But don't you see I'm
Halfway over the hill
I'm passin' over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's gotta get easier from now on
I've been runnin' all my life
Lord, I've run for all my life
Seein' joy and seein' people grievin'
Seein' towns and don't remember leavin'
Never saw no blue birds in my sky
But don't you see I'm
Halfway over the hill
I'm passin' over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's gotta get easier from now on
Oh I'm halfway over the hill
I'm passin' over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's gotta get easier from now on

Meet Me Half Way
In a lifetime
Made of memories
I believe
In destiny
Every moment returns again in time
When Ive got the future on my mind
Know that youll be the only one
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and i
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.
In a lifetime
There is only love
Reaching for the lonely one
We are stronger when we are given love
When we put emotions on the line
Know that we are the timeless ones
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and i
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongs
To only you and i
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life.

Meet Me Halfway
Never dreamt I would hope
While I count the miles
Through the wind and the rain
I can see your smile
There aint no turning back
I can see it in the distance
Got it in my sight
Like a vision like a face
Coming out of the sky
You were there not a dream
You were there in my eyes
There aint no turning back
I can see it in the distance
Touch it through the night
Driving into the light
When Im on my own
When Im all alone
Wont you meet me halfway
Wont you meet me halfway
Is it a dream?
Is it a dream coming true?
Meet me halfway
Like a vision like a face
Coming out of the sky
You were there not a dream
You were there in my eyes
There are no words to say
I can see you in the distance
Hear you through the night
Aint no easy way
When youre on your own
When youre all alone
Wont you meet me halfway
Wont you meet me halfway
Is it a dream?
Is it a dream coming true?
Meet me halfway

Half Way Round The World
Lately I feel so small
Or maybe its just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before but you were there
So how was I to know
That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
It was meant for me and you
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Nothin' seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I cant hold you tonight
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind
I wake up in the night
I turn around and find that you're not there
I just like to watch you sleep and lay by you
I love to feel you near
I think I'm going crazy
Everyday confusion starts to grow
I never noticed it before
But you were there so how was I to know
That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
It was meant for me and you
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Nothin' seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I cant hold you tonight
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Lately I feel so small
Or maybe its just that my bed has grown

Halfway round The World
(carly simon)
Thank you for informing me
That Ive been banned from canada
It comes as no suprise to me
Since last week it was africa
Since youve been ambassador
Theres trouble at the border
La la la la la la la halfway round the world
Its amusing still it makes me wince
Your face is like a scimitar
When accidentally eye to eye
You shoot a look of vinegar
What could I have done to you
To mkae you act the way you do
La la la la la la la halfway round the world
For whatever reason
You would keep me
Halfway round the world
I believe its like some kind of compliment
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl
La la la la la la la halfway round the world
Once upon a time you swore youd love me
til the end of the world
Now, nowhere is far enough away for you
I must be quite a girl
Quite a girl...
La la la la la la la halfway round the world

My Mistakes
[Chorus]
If I could erase, everyone of my mistakes
Tell me would it make you wanna come over
And work this out with me
And now I'll do whatever it takes
Just meet me halfway
All I want is for you to come over
And work this out, work this out with me
[Verse 1]
Whats wrong with me
Why can't I do right
You promise me
You give me a life
If I could be
Well then just a typical
Guy to lie to your face
How could I do
The things that I say I wouldn't do
Keep doing the same
I give you
Might just too pitiful
To recognize your worth
Now you tell me that before
Promise that I wouldn't go there no more
You gave me all of you
But what did I go do
And everytime I had the chance
To get into another nigga woman's pants
I would follow through
Not thinking of me and you
[Chorus]
If I could erase, everyone of my mistakes
Tell me would it make you wanna come over
And work this out with me
And now I'll do whatever it takes
Just meet me halfway
All I want is for you to come over
And work this out, work this out with me
[Verse 2]
As bad as I
Want you right here
I empathize with the way that you feel
Took away the thing
That you call your cute
If you could find the feeling you have from the start
You know we should never be apart
I'm asking you can you please listen to me
When you took me back before
I promise that I wouldn't go there no more
You gave me all of you

Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Oh why cant i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
First thing you know
Is what youre looking for
Next thing you know is where you find it
You cant explain the pain
Of feelin so alone
So I wont even try to tell you, no
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Oh why cant i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Some days it hurts so bad
Cant take it anymore
Those days and nights
They last forever
Some ways of feelin good dont feel good anymore
They only mask your real feelings
Why, oh why, why, oh why
Halfway up, halfway down
Wont you turn my luck around
Halfway here, halfway there
Say the words and Ill be there
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Oh why cant i
Be in love for ever
And ever and ever
I wonder
Why, oh why, why, oh why cant i
Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever
Be in love forever

Sometimes A Dream
I can't remember the last time that i felt good for more than a week
I mean really good, for more than a month
'cause i'm chasing a dream
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry
Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
And sometimes a dream doesn't set you free
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
And you just can't get your ass out of town
And sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall
And it's the same goddamn thing i told you
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Baby, it's alright
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Baby, it's alright
And i think that's what's happened to me
'cause i'm walking almost everyday blind
And i'm searching through my past
In a way that isn't healthy, i'm hoping to find
Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry
Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky
A good list of reasons to know that i'm special
And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down
And you just can't get your ass out of town
To know that i'm different, to know that i'm better
And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall
And it's the same goddamn thing i told you
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Baby, it's alright
Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
Baby, it's alright
Look around
Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself?
So why do you still feel so all alone?
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
How many pieces do you wish?
Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish
How many pieces do you wish?
My mother told me to pick the very best one
And you are it

^HALFWAY THERE>
I wonder.
I wonder..
I wonder…
if you can precisely see through me
I wonder if you know what im up to what are my missions what are my visions and outcomes
Some of us are halfway there
I wonder how you feel there
If you can turn your body if you are hot or cold
If you know joy and happiness
If you know how to great if you have done what you were supposed to do
I wonder if you are eating if you do know what eating is
I turn my back right there for you couldn't call me back to say hey don't mind me my road ends here
Some of them pretend to know where you are as if they left and came back to tell the tale
When your loved ones come to give you water to drink but its how we were raised
I wonder if you appreciate the flowers planted outside your yard
if you drink the water
if you drink the traditional beer they put around your house
or its people who come to you who does, or those next to you
I wonder… how you bring rain
I then wake up and figure out but still puzzled and go back to sleep to understand
I still wonder if you can differentiate who is a new comer or you are all equal
If politics and relationships exists if love and peace exists if haters sill boasts and the jealous still have their negative thoughts.Half way there the son speaks
Because we consider you sisters and add ann as a name together we call
For we turn our backs on god to do the worlds work
We are half way there
Are you the gods? Who is God if you are?
Apparently you can direct me where to go negatively and you do it positively how did you know im supposed to go there
? Why do you want me to go there?
Why choose to lead me?
Why should I call my child by your name?
If you are full time there then why are you able to enter in my dream and my visions how do you
come up with LOUD VOICE TO MY EARS HOW COME YOU CAN STOP THINGS FROM HAPPENING who enabled you to do such things? If I could understand I wouldn't sit on my bed and type such words
I wouldn't wake up with such questions
I'm halfway there
Some speak good I ask my self why? As you were able they didn't speak good of you
I am THE LEGEND and in that episode of life when it reaches JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
I'm halfway there
One way there
You are halfway there 2 way there
There, there, there,
there, there
there

Halfway to Heaven
Halfway to Heaven
I lost my love,
Passing away
So high up above.
Halfway to Heaven
I made my last call
As often we pray
To sweet stars that fall.
Yet halfway to Heaven
You said: 'Fare thee well',
'Fore making your way
O'er river and dell.

The Englishman in Italy
Piano di Sorrento
Fortù, Fortù, my beloved one,
Sit here by my side,
On my knees put up both little feet!
I was sure, if I tried,
I could make you laugh spite of Scirocco.
Now, open your eyes,
Let me keep you amused till he vanish
In black from the skies,
With telling my memories over
As you tell your beads;
All the Plain saw me gather, I garland
--The flowers or the weeds.
Time for rain! for your long hot dry Autumn
Had net-worked with brown
The white skin of each grape on the bunches,
Marked like a quail's crown,
Those creatures you make such account of,
Whose heads--speckled whlte
Over brown like a great spider's back,
As I told you last night--
Your mother bites off for her supper.
Red-ripe as could be,
Pomegranates were chapping and splitting
In halves on the tree:
And betwixt the loose walls of great flintstone,
Or in the thick dust
On the path, or straight out of the rockside,
Wherever could thrust
Some burnt sprig of bold hardy rock-flower
Its yellow face up,
For the prize were great butterflies fighting,
Some five for one cup.
So, I guessed, ere I got up this morning,
What change was in store,
By the quick rustle-down of the quail-nets
Which woke me before
I could open my shutter, made fast
With a bough and a stone,
And look thro' the twisted dead vine-twigs,
Sole lattice that's known.
Quick and sharp rang the rings down the net-poles,
While, busy beneath,
Your priest and his brother tugged at them,
The rain in their teeth.
And out upon all the flat house-roofs
Where split figs lay drying,
The girls took the frails under cover:

Halfway Down
Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
other stair
quite like
it.
i'm not at the bottom,
i'm not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.
Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head.
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!

Halfway...
halfway
to exhaustion
death is nowhere
to find
one sits on the
grass
meeting beauty
and kissing it
one sleeps with
grace
falls asleep
embracing dreams
halfway a door opens
as gently
as a very delicate
pink bud

The Bridge
This bridge will only take you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there-
The last few steps you'll have to take alone.

Should I Laugh Or Cry
(benny andersson / bjorn ulvaeus)
He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
Hes such a clever guy
Then I wonder should I laugh or cry
Hes dressed in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives me all his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fools pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
Hes wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry
Strange how dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No more pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
I dont mind if his banner flies
A fools pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
Hes wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry?

Debbi
Standing in the hallway
Trouble coming my way
He called me on the telephone
Guess Im gonna be alone
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
Im good to you but youre bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
Tried to do it your way
You wouldnt meet me halfway there
You used to say you loved me
Now you just sit and stare
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a pain
In this great big world
Im good to you, but youre bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
If you wanna keep me here
You better try to make it clear
cause Im halfway out the door
I cant take it anymore
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a gamble
In this great big world
Im good to you, but youre bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery

Hidin From Love
Im riding in the middle
Halfway into you
And halfway into something else,
I dontt know what to do.
You said youd make it easy,
You said youd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.
cause youre not decidin
Youre only hidin from love.
You cant deny it,
Youre only hidin from love.
Well, Ive been makin changes,
But youve been changin too.
You were hopin love was somethin else,
I was hopin it was you.
You said youd make it easy, babe,
You said youd take the time,
But you call it off
Before I change my mind.
Cause youre not decidin
Youre only hidin from love.
You cant deny it,
Youre only hidin from love.
I know youre tryin,
But youre only hidin from love.
You say youre shy,
But youre only hidin from love.
