Cry

I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry... on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry... on your shoulder.
You're a friend.

You and I have been through many things.

I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.

I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry... on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
(cry...)
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry... on my shoulder,
Once again.

Cry... on my shoulder
I'm a friend

Close Your Eyes

You have seen the singer
And he said ' believe in me'
Now let me wash my bloodied hands
In this pool of ecstacy

Cos you know what's required of us
And you know that they're tired of us
And you know
That they haven't got the clarity to have an open mind

So close your eyes(close your eyes)

and believe in me

You have seen the singer
And he said believe in me
Now open up and let me in
To your childhood fantasy

Cos you know that the time is right
And you know that we're dynamites
And you know
That your dreams can be reality if you just made up your mind

So close your eyes(close your eyes)
close your eyes(close your eyes)

Chocolate

I was with this girl
In my bedroom
She was eating such wild chocolate
Didn't leave me much shared room
Its name I couldn't see
But she gave it to me
I lost my head
I started singing

Only the crumbliest
Flakiest chocolate yeah
Taste like chocolate never tasted before
Only the crumbliest
Flakiest chocolate yeah
Taste like chocolate never tasted before

Then I was gone
In a world of my own
Feels like electricity is
Running through every bone
My girl and me
We're living free yeah
On the crumbliest milk chocolate in the world
We were singing

Only the crumbliest
Flakiest chocolate yeah
Taste like chocolate never tasted before
And only the crumbliest
Flakiest chocolate
Taste like chocolate never tasted before

Carry You Home

Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
Makes her body older than it really is
And she says it's high time she went away
No ones got much to say in this town
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down

As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing
For the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

If she had wings she would fly away
And another day god will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down,down,down

As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means

I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

And they're all born pretty
in New York City tonight
and someones little girl
was taken from the world tonight
under the Stars and Stripes

As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And i'll carry you home

As strong as you were
Tender you go
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home

Breathe

Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm lost for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn

Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what i don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
And I thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past

Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity
No Wife and no family
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Billy

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
He knows the price that he's paid.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
He accepts it's his fate.
He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Now he's just known as a cheat.
And he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
(x2)

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
To relive time in his mind.
Oh Billy.

Annie

Annie, you had your name in the bright lights
I thought I saw your photograph
having such a laugh, in a magazine
Did it all come true?


then Annie, you were made for the big time
They said you were a star to be
In the NME
But the walls came tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me?


'Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you


Annie, would it be nice to be recognized?
Did you practice your autograph?
But now no ones asked
And it's such a shame
Your dreams are crumbling

Annie, why aren't you big in limelight?
'Cause I thought that you said you'd be
A celebrity several years ago
But it all came tumbling down
Down
Will you go down on me?


'Cause Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you


Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you


Annie you're a star
You're just not going very far
And all the world will know your name
And you'll be famous as you are
'Cause I'll sing for you

Alright tonight

If you want to you can stick around,
'Cause its alright, tonight.
She said "I will stay here, stay with you
'Cause you're alright, tonight."
And I, I hoped that things would turn
Out my way 'cause she's alright, tonight.
She said "This is fun, this is good, yes,
It's alright, it's alright."

(Chorus)
Do you want this one night stand?
Let's take a risk and go play in the sand.
You can leave that ring on your finger.
I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too.


We made out now, we made up, yeah.
We made love for the world cup I said.
I want things I've never had before,
She said "Alright, tonight."
So we entered heaven to accept our fate,
And to sum it up baby, it was great, yeah.
It's not often that I see the light
but it's - it's alright, it's alright.


(Chorus)
Do you want this one night stand?
Let's take a risk go play in the sand.
You can leave that ring on your finger.
I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too.

Here she comes again now,
Here she comes again now,
Here we go again now.

[Do you want this one night stand] 3x
[all right all right]

(Chorus)
Do you want this one night stand?
Let's take a risk go play in the sand.
You can leave that ring on your finger.
I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too. 3x

It's alright. 15x

[You can leave that ring on your finger.
I'm a sinner, you're the winner, I am too.

Simone
You're getting older
Your journey's been
Etched on your skin

Simone
Wish I had known that
What seemed so strong
Has been and gone

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out till the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

Simone
Wish I was sober
So I could see clearly now
The rain has gone

Simone
I guess it's over
My memory plays our tune
The same old song

I would call you up every Saturday night

And we`d both stay out till the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out till the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up every Saturday night
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
And we sang, "Here we go again"
And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing "Here we go again"

And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973

Dear Katie

Did he break your heart today?
Well, some will say: "It's never gonna be easy."
And did he tell you that he loved you?
He's just not in love with you anymore...
I met a man who saw a ghost, sat down on his bed
and said: "Hey, there's no need to worry:
I've lived my life from start to end
and I've seen nothing that makes sense,
except being in love."

(chorus)

So dear, dear Katie,
what have you done lately?
I've heard it's all going on...
So dear, dear Katie,
this mess you're in is crazy,
remember real love!

Take tea for two, an afternoon,

and by the sea remember how it used to be
when we were young and we didn't care
and oh the people used to smile,
we were holding hands in the park
and simple things as men and women share
they used to make you smile.
Little girl, don't be lonely.
No, never be lonely...

(chorus)
So dear, dear Katie,
what have you done lately?
I've heard it's all going on...
So dear, dear Katie,
this mess you're in is crazy,
remember real love!

And did he break your heart today?
Well, do you stell feel?

Like You'll Never See Me Again

If I had no more time
No more time left to be here
Would you cherish what we had?
Was it everything that you were looking for?
If I couldn’t feel your touch
And no longer were you with me
I’d be wishing you were here
To be everything that I’d be looking for
I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So every time you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
Every time you touch me
Touch me like this is the last time
Promise that you’ll love me
Love me like you’ll never see me again

Oh Oh Ohhhhh

I dont really know what love is?
Millions never will
Do you know until you lose it

That it’s everything that we are looking for
When I wake up in the morning
You’re beside me
I’m so thankful that I found
Everything that I been looking for

I don’t wanna forget the present is a gift
And I don’t wanna take for granted the time you may have here with me
‘Cause Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed

So everytime you hold me
Hold me like this is the last time
Every time you kiss me
Kiss me like you’ll never see me again
(can you do that for me baby)
Every time you touch me
(see we don’t really know)
Touch me like this is the last time
(see everyday we never know)
Promise that you’ll love me
(I want you to promise me)
Love me like you’ll never see me again
(like you’ll never see me again)

Ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh

No One

Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause

But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around

You and me together
Through the days and nights

Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking

To find something like what we have

Try to divide
Something so real

I'm telling you that

No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh oh...

I Believe I Can Fly

I used to think
that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I can believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Cause I believe in you

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I can believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

Forever Will Be ( The Wedding Song )

We will always remember this day
When we both said I do
Committing ourselves as one
That's what God wanted us to do
Loving one another
Being there for me
Sharing special moments
In love forever we will be
( Forever will be )
I'll always keep you in my heart
Well I pray that things will go our way
Forgetting those things which are behind
Well I promise to make your day bright
Loving one another
Being there for me
Sharing special moments
In love forever we will be
( Forever will be )
And all these things
I'll treasure forever
Keeping them close to my heart
Believe in me
In love forever we will be
( Forever will be )
You're so beautiful...
And all these things
I'll treasure forever
Keeping them close to my heart
Believe in me
In love forever we will be
In love forever we will be
In love forever we will be
Promise to stay with you
In love forever we will be
( Forever will be )
Forever we will be
( Forever will be )
Forever we will be
( Forever will be )
With this ring I thee wed
I give you my mind
My heart, my body
My soul...( my soul )

Because Of You

If ever you wondered
If you touched my soul
Yes you do
Since I met you I'm not the same
You bring to everything I do
Just the way you say hello
With one touch I can't let go
Never thought I'd fall in love with you

Because of you my life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you

Sometimes I get lonely
And all I gotta do is think of you
You captured something inside of me
You make all of my dreams come true
It's not enough that you love me for me
You reached inside and touched me internally
I Love You best explains how I feel for you

Because of you my life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you

The magic in your eyes
True love I can't deny
When you hold me
I just lose control
I want you to know
That I'm never letting go
You mean so much to me
I want the world to see
It's because of you

Because of you my life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you
My life has changed
Thank you for the love and the joy you bring

Because of you I feel no shame
I'll tell the world just because of you
Because of you...

Flying Without Wings

Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be

Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry

You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings

So, impossible as it may seem

You've got to fight for every dream
Cos who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete

Well, for me it's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
At any given time or place

It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cos you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins
and you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings

Shoot The Moon

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?

Now the fall is here again
You can't begin to give in
It's all over

When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you've told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

Lonestar

Lonestar where are you out tonight?
This feeling I'm trying to fight
It's dark and I think that I would give anything
For yout o shine down on me

How far you are I just don't know
The distance I'm willing to go
I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky
Hoping for some kind of sign

Turn Me On

Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb in a dark room
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain
Like a school kid waiting for the spring
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on

My poor heart, it's been so dark since you been gone
After all, you're the one who turns me off
You're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
The glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you
To come on home and turn me on
Turn me on

Painter Song

If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie
If that's the only way for you to be with me

We'd be there together
Just like we used to be
Undertneath the swirling skies for all to see

And I'm dreaming of a place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush would tak eme there
But only...

If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you
I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

Thinking About You

Thinking About You

Yesterday I saw the sun shinin',
And the leaves were fallin' down softly,
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin' about you.

Here I am lookin' for signs of leaving,
You hold my hand, but do you really need me?
I guess it's time for me to let you go,
And I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you.

When you sail across the ocean waters,
And you reach the other side safely,
Could you smile a little smile for me?
'cause I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you.

Those Sweet Words

What did you say?
I know I saw you singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say?

End of the day
The hour hand has spun
But before the night is done
I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody

All your love
Is a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin
Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping?
Cuz the heavy moon was keeping
Me awake, and all I know is
I'm just glad to
See you again

See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up
Through the afternoon, and
Then you appeared

What did you say?
I know what you were singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody

I just have to hear
Those sweet words
Spoken like a melody

I just want to hear
Those sweet words

Nearness Of You

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you would only grant me the right
to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

Dont Know Why I Didnt Come

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching tear drops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
You'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a vagabond
Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in wine
You'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

Sunrise

Sunrise
Sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise
Sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said
Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you

Surprise
Surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise
Surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

Then I say
Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you

And now the night
Will throw its cover down, ooo, on me again
Ooh, and if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back

Hooo, hooo, hooo
To you
Hooo, yeah, hooo, hooo
To you

Come Away With Me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
