Don't let the sun go down

This is Clay Aikens's winning performances in the wild-card night.

Somewhere out there

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

Without You

Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile,
but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

Well, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair
that I should let you know
What you should know

CHORUS:
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live, if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore

Well, I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile,
but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

[guitar solo]

CHORUS 3 times

I can't live,
if living is without you

Solitaire

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unshared
Until it died in his silence

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaireee
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire

The Way

There's something 'bout the way you look tonight
There's something 'bout the way that
I can't take my eyes off you
There's something 'bout the way your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that
I get nervous when you're around
And I want you to be mine
And if you need a reason why...

(Chorus:)
It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
And when I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way

Oh, oh
You feel it in the way

There's something 'bout how you stay on my mind
There's something 'bout the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh girl
Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes
Oh, baby, it's the way that
It makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons, they may change
But what I'm feeling stays the same

(Repeat chorus)

Oh, oh
You feel it in the way

(Bridge:)
I can't put my fingers on
Just what it is
That makes me love you
You know, baby
So don't ask me to describe
I get all choked up inside
Just thinking 'bout the way

(Repeat chorus)

It's in the way that you move me
And the way that you tease me
The way
You feel it in the way

There's something 'bout the way you look tonight
There's nothing more to say than
I feel it in the way

This is the night

When the world wasn't upside down
I could take all the time I had
But I'm not gonna wait when a moment can banish so fast
Cuz every kiss is a kiss you can never get back

Lift me up
In your eyes
If you told me that it's what heaven is, well you'd be right
I've been waiting forever
For this
This is the night

When the answer to all my dreams
Is as close as a touch away
Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say

Lift me up
In your eyes
If you told me that it's what heaven is, well you'd be right
