Christopher "Chris" Cross (born Christopher Charles Geppert; May 3, 1951) is an American singer-songwriter. His debut album earned him five Grammy Awards. He is perhaps best known for his US Top Five hit songs, "Ride Like the Wind", "Sailing", and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)", the latter recorded by him for the film Arthur starring Dudley Moore. "Sailing" earned three Grammys in 1981, while "Arthur's Theme" won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981 (with co-composers Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, and Peter Allen). https://youtu.be/WqjFUPya5v8 "Ride Like The Wind" It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time to sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go) To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind I was born the son of a lawless man Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand Lived nine lives Gunned down ten Gonna ride like the wind And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go) To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind Gonna ride like the wind Accused and tried and told to hang I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang Never was the kind to do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind before I get old It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time to sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again And I've got such a long way to go (such a long way to go) To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind And I've got a long way to go (such a long way to go) To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind Gonna ride like the wind Ride! Gonna ride like the wind Ride! https://youtu.be/7khQNR7s1Ho "Sailing" Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Fantasy, it gets the best of me When I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony Won't you believe me? Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free 1981: Arthur (Motion picture soundtrack) "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" https://youtu.be/qMdwFkO8xA0 "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" Once in your life you find her Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?"When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do The best that you can do is fall in loveArthur he does as he pleases All of his life, he's mastered choice Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy Living his life one day at a time And showing himself a really good time Laughing about the way they want him to beWhen you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do, The best that you can do is fall in loveWhen you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do, The best that you can do is fall in lovehttps://youtu.be/qRMAz_IBNN4 1983: General Hospital (TV series soundtrack) "Think of Laura" https://youtu.be/02-CvtmRz6M 1984: Official Music of the XXIIIrd Olympiad "A Chance For Heaven" (swimming theme) https://youtu.be/VIZ4NT6c7tQ "A Chance For Heaven" I know that winning It doesn't come easy I know that winning It's what's on your mind It's what's on your mindI know you want it A gift from the angels Colors of the rainbow You're hoping to find You're hoping to findSomeone's gonna take it And I'm the oneAnd I got just one more Chance for Heaven One more mountain to climb And I got just one more Chance for Heaven Putting it all on the line Putting it all on the lineIt's out there waiting Waiting ro find us The spirit deep inside Ooh, just set it free Just set it freeA chance for Heaven That place we dream of And when you get there Ooh, then you will see Ooh, then you will seeNow it's one more Chance for Heaven One more mountain to climb Now it's one more Chance for Heaven Putting it all on the line Putting it all on the line History is not destiny I know that winning It never comes easy And on the day you get there Ooh, you're gonna find Ooh, you're gonna find Someone's gonna take it Someone's gonna make it And you're the one There'll always be One more chance for Heaven One more mountain to climb There'll always be One more chance for Heaven Putting it all on the line There'll always be One more chance for Heaven One more mountain to climb There'll always be One more chance for Heaven Putting it all on the line There'll always be One more chance for Heaven One more mountain to climb 1986: Nothing in Common (Motion picture soundtrack) "Loving Strangers (David's Theme)" https://youtu.be/RptvRV0bh40?t1s "Nothing In Common" You might say no to me But to me a no is so indifferently I drag along your way It's your way I'm hanging in so desperately I beg you please to start believe that it's way too soon To change your way You can feel that our love Is fading out, out of touch (oh) And you say we’ve got nothing in common You're so crazy, I'm sane You got heart, I got brains And there's nothing that we have in common at all Oh, oh, oh Nothing in common I listen to your words And it hurts when you tell me how I'm supposed to be You tell me to suit up, get a job It makes you crazy that I cannot see Cause I got heart, got soul I play the guitar It's too late to change your way You can feel that our love Is fading out, out of touch (oh) And you say we’ve got nothing in common You're so crazy, I'm sane You got heart, I got brains And there's nothing that we have in common at all Oh, oh, oh Nothing in common And all of my money I spend it on you And all my love I gave it to you My angel, my boo, the things you do If only you can tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me You can feel that our love Is fading out, out of touch (oh) And you say we’ve got nothing in common You're so crazy, I'm sane You got heart, I got brains And there's nothing that we have in common at all Oh, oh, oh Nothing in common We got nothing in common at all At all, at all We got nothing in common at all 2010: 30 Rock (TV series soundtrack) "Lemon's Theme" https://youtu.be/AWQnY4ZiTSg
