Lyrics:

Lonely sidewalks, silent night

Bring the evening, deep inside

Hold me darling, touch me now

Let the feelings free tonight



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight baby



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight



Time of season, wipes your tears

No ryhme or reason, no more fears

And all the dreamin', is far behind

You are here now, and everythin's alright



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight baby



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight



And in the morning I'll be gone away

All the things I left behind

If you need me I'll come night and day

Let's stop the hands of time



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight baby



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight baby



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight baby



Love is on the way

I can see it in your eyes

Let's give it one more try tonight

Okay, here's the tab for the solo, it's not as hard as it may look.  I'm no
lead guitarist by ANY stretch of the imagination and I can play it without
too much effort.  This is played over the verse progression:

E-|--9h11h12-11-9----9--------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------12---9--------------------------10p9h10-9---14p12--14-------|
G-|----------------------9-8----------------9p8h9-----------------------------|
D-|--------------------------11~~~--11p9h11-----------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


E-|---------------------------------------------9h11-12-/14-12-11-12-/16------|
B-|-12p10p9-10----9-----------------------------x-----------------------------|
G-|------------11---11-9-11-9-8--/9-9--/6-6~~---x-----------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------x-----------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


E-|-14-14-12-12p11-11p9-9-11h12-11-12~~---------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------11p9h11-9--11--11p9h11-11h13p11-----|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|


E-|-------------------------------9-9~~--12-12~~-|
B-|---------9h10h12--10-9-10-12~~----------------|
G-|-9--11---x------------------------------------|
D-|---------x------------------------------------|
A-|---------x------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------|

And 'dat be all there is to it... I think the hardest part is stretching your
fingers to fit the first two chords (the verses).  It's a pain in the ass.
Don't be afraid to use your pinky...

Good luck...
