Living Next Door To Alice

Sally called when she got the word
She said I suppose you've heard
About Alice.

Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive.

Oh I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
'cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials deep in the bark
Me and Alice.

Now she walks through the door with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.

Oh I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
'cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, hey I know how to help
Get over Alice.

She said, now Alice is gone, but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years
And the big limousine disappeared.

I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
'cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
No I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.

(i Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight

Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something i can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And i don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to
this

Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh i, i just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface i'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cos i've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh i, i just died in your arms...

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head, i know i was wrong

Oh i, i just died in your arms...

A Day At The Mother-in-law's

Mother dear, mother dear, mother dear
The sky is getting cloudy and it
looks a lot like it might
Start to rain so pick up your bag
and your plastic mac
While I phone your mother again
to tell her we'll still
come over (ring ring)
Mother dear, it's nice to hear from you again
Mother dear, don't speak now
we'll be over as soon as we can

Heading out the front door
say good morning to the neighbours
Passing by then it caught my eye
the bus we needed
the bus too that takes us right outside
Mother dear it's nice to see you smiling face
Again once more Mother dear the time ha flown
and I'm afraid we'll have to go

Waving from the window see that
lonly look glistening
In her eye as we head back home
she is left alone till
next week at the same time
until the goodbye

goodbye Mother dear, goodbye goodbye

A Million Conversations

We can try to understand
It's something we should know
A mother's dream is broken
And she's got nowhere to go
Do we know just what we're doing
We're living in the past
The hopes and dreams we're hiding
Seem to hold on to the last

A million conversations never said a word
Countless delegations saying things that won't be heard

(Chorus):
Oh oh try to understand
The children of the future
Gotta have a chance
Oh oh it's time to make it right
There's gotta be a better way
There's gotta be a better way

You'll fight a war for fame
No-one takes the blame
She sells her soul for water
As they faced another plane
We don't know what we're doing
The innocent won't last
Praying that their conscience makes
Them reconize the past

A million conversations never said a word
Countless delegations saying things that
Won't be heard

(Chorus)

A Spaceman Came Travelling

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
Twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star

He followed the light and came down to a share,
Where a mother and a child were lying there on a bed,
And a bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid

Then the stranger spoke, he said do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child

This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all
round

And just before dawn at the paving of the sky,
The stranger returned and said now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry

And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
And it went la la la..
And it went la la la..
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child
And it went la la la..

A Stranger With You

Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in

Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine
Are followin' you

I've fallen for you
whatever you do
'Cause baby you've shown me so many things
that I never knew

Whatever it takes
Baby, I'll do it for you

Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

You were so young
Ah, and I was so free

I may have been young but baby
That's not what I wanted to be

Well you were the one

Oh, why was it me

'Cause baby you've shown me so many things
That I'd never seen

Whatever you need
Baby, you got it from me

Our love is alive and so we begin
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame burnin' within
Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in

Ah, stumblin' in
Mmmm, stumblin' in

Now and then fire light will catch us
Stumblin' in

Oh, stumblin' in
I'm stumblin' in
Foolishly layin' our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in

A Winters Tale

The nights are colder now
maybe I should close the door.
Anyway the snow is covered all your foot steps
and I can follow you no more.
The fire still burns at night
my memories are warm and clear.
But everybody knows
it's hard to be alone at this time of year.
It was only a winters tale
Just another winters tale.
Why should the world ignortize
of one more love thats fail.
It's the love that could never be
though it meant to love to you and me
on the world wide scale
with just another winters tale.
While I stand alone
The bell is ringing far away.
I wonder if you hear.
I wonder if you're listening.
I wonder where you are today.
Good luck I wish you well
for all that wishes made be worth
I hope that love and strength with you
for the length of your time of love.

African Nights

Over a land where the water flows
An eagle flies where the west wind blows
I saw her eyes shining crystal clear
One in a million years
And our hearts were one under burning suns
to the city of gold we will run

(Chorus)
I still remember the African nights
Deep in my memory it burns me inside
I've thrown down my chains and
I'm ready to fight
Can we recapture the fire at the
African nights

From where I stand I can feel her touch
I'm in her hands and it means so much
I undersand when the vision is gone
This feeling inside carries on
If the heart and mind reach a borderline
Who could consider it a crime

(Chorus)

Ain't Gonna Rain

Girl I'd better tell you now
I'd better warn you
I'm not like any other guy
Who came off the street corner
Cos I got a heritage
Yeah, I got history
And I got Indian blood
Deep inside of me

No it ain't gonna rain no more
No it ain't gonna rain no more

Girl you'd better hold on tight
If you want the ride of your life
You'd better watch me
Cos I'M gonna watch you
Accross the big white plain
To a new horizon
Taking the wise words of old
Joe Cherokee

No it ain't gonna rain no more
No it ain't gonna rain no more

Girl I'm in a wonder
Wonder world
And I'd give you my world
If I could

Now girl you better listen to me
Cos my heart's no longer free
I can see it in the cloud
I can feel it in the wind

No it ain't gonna rain no more
No it ain't gonna rain no more

Ain't It Funny How It Works

Ain't it funny how it works, you chase something all you
life,
then you find it when you'd finally given up.
When I least expected it, the stars lined up just right,
and suddenly I found myself in love.
When you're lyin' next to me, there's no place I'd rather
be on earth.
It's strange how simple love can be,ain't it funny how it
works.
Ain't it funny how it works, you know just the way I
feel,
before I even have to say a thing,
I see it every day, but it still amazes me,
what a little trust and honesty can bring.
When you're reachin out to me, I've got so much love to
return.
Love is such sweet mystery,ain't it funny how it works.
When you're lyin' next to me, there's no place I'd rather
be on earth.
It's strange how simple love can be,ain't it funny how it
works.

Alice

Sally called when she got the word,
And she said: "I suppose you've heard -

When I rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes -
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
We carved our initials,
Deep in the bark,

Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.

But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years

Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And a big limousine dissapeared...

I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

All Alone

(C. Norman / P. Spencer)
When evening is drawing nigh
And the moon dances in the sky
And you've nothing to believe in
At all

When your room's full of emtiness
Just the memory of her caress
And you've nothing to believe in
At all

When you're all alone
When you're on your own
And you've always known
You were all alone

When you lie in your lonely room
Warm traces of her perfume
No reason for your being
At all

And when you wake into another day
And you remember she's gone away
No reason for your being
At all

When you're all alone
When you're on your own
And you've always known
You were all alone

All My Life

You; you are my life,
you are my only possession
and I will love you all my life
Years, years ago,
you were my only obsession
and I have loved you all my life
you flew to me like a bird on the wing
When, when I was down
you stayed with me through the bad times
for that I will love you all my life
We can say we are free
we don't need any more,
we don't need any more
Now there is no more,
nothing less than the good times
and I will be with you all my life
Moments of joy with some moments of silence
And I'll give you guidance all my life
We can say we are free
We don't need any more,
We don't need any more
You, you are my life,
you are my only possession
And I will love you all my life

All She Ever Really Wanted

I'd have given her the mountains,
every star up in the sky,
any little thing she wanted I would do.
But the sad and lonely truth is that I never stood a
chance,
'cause all she ever wanted was you.
You don't listen to her problems,
you just think about yourself,
heaven knows you've made her cry a time or two.
I would gladly dry those teardrops,
make her smile forever more,
all she ever wanted was you.
Ain't love a funny thing,never know what'll make a heart
sing.
Nothin I could say, nothin I could do,
all she ever really wanted was you,
all she ever really wanted was you.
Well,I know I ought to give up,
fall in love with someone else,
'stead I hold on to this dream that won't come true.
And I'm always gonna wonder, till the very day I die,
why all she ever wanted was you.

Always The Last To Know

So youre in love with someone else
Someone who burns within your soul
And it looks like Im the last to know
I hear youve never felt so alive
So much desire beyond control
And as usual I am the last to know

The last to know how youre feeling
The last to know where you are
The last to know if youre happy now
Or if hes treating you like I treated you
Or if hes cruel Ill be the last to know

We spent summers up beyond the bay
And you said these are such perfect days
That if the bomb drops baby, I want to be the last to
know
But now youre living up behind the hill
And though we share the same city and feel the same sun
When your winter comes
Ill be the last to know

Always the last to know how youre feeling
The last to know where you are
The last to know if youre happy now
Or if hes pleading with you like I pleaded with you
If you go dont let me be the last to know
Dont let me be the last
To know

Creations gone crazy, the tvs gone mad
Now youre the only sane thing that I have

The last to know how youre feeling
The last to know where you are
The last to know if youre happy now
Or if hes cheating on you like I cheated on you
And you were the last to know

And The Night Stood Still

Do you remember on the night that we first met
The moment I looked in your eyes I never will forget
And I remember oh the time that we kissed
Remember thinking to myself could it really be like
this

And we danced beneath a midnight moon
And I took one lock
One look at you
And I fell in love before I knew
And the night stood still
And we moved so sweet
So sweet and slow
To the rhythm of the radio
And then your arms reached out and held me close
And the night stood still

I will remember the song that they were playing then
And if I close my eyes I answer
We're right back there again
Do you remember oh the way it used to be
We were two hearts on the run
So young as wild as free

CHORUS

The night stood still
We danced
Danced
We fell in love

Do you remember oh the way it used to be...

Angelina

Angelina's going out tonight
Like a dream clear out of sight
When she returns, we'll be as one together
Like a diamond in a world of stone
She's like the wings, she rides all alone
She'll catch the sun, and make it shine forever

But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl

Angelina with her eyes so blue
I can't resist, she gets through to you
The silent talking in a way that burns through your
heart
A cold, grey day never appears
Your body's warmed, but innocent tears
When Angelina gives you a friendly start

But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl

But I don't wanna see her crying
And I don't wanna see her fate
Cause you know I love that girl
You know I love that girl

Angelina's going out tonight
Angelina's going out tonight
Angelina's going out tonight
Tonight...

Arms Of Mary

The lights shine down the valley,
The wind blows up the alley.
Oh, and how I wish I was,
Lying in the arms of Mary.

She took the pains of boyhood,
And turned them into fell good.
Oh, and how I wish was,
Lying in the arms of Mary.

Mary was the girl who taught me,
All I had to know,
She put me right on my first mistake.
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned,
All she had to show,
She really gave all a boy could take.

So now when I get lonely,
Still looking for the one and only.
That's when I wish I was,
Lying in the arms of Mary.

Mary was the girl who taught me,
All I had to know.
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show,
She really gave all a boy could take.

The lights shine down the valley,
The wind blows up the alley,
Oh, and how wish I was.
Lying in the arms of Mary.

Lying in the arms of Mary,
Lying in the arms of Mary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Away In A Manger

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
Little lord Jesus asleep in the hay

The cattle are a-lowing the baby he awakes
But the little lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love you ohhh Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus I asked you to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all of the children in your tender care
And keep us all together to live with you there

Babe It's Up To You

(G. Macari / R. Ferris)
Too many times I count the cost
Of the games that I played
And the love that I lost forever

So many ways a heart can lose
If you ain't got the love
That you can use together

You can love me tonight
While the feeling is right
Let me spend just one night with you
I could hold you so tight
If you say it's alright
And we'll love 'til the lights shine trough
Babe, it's up to you
Babe, it's up to you

You can love me tonight
While the feeling is right
Let me spend just one night with you
I could hold you so tight
If you say it's alright
And we'll love 'til the lights shine trough

So many times we tried to hide
All the broken hearts
And the tears we cried together

We had it all but love was lost
When you walked away
And I count the cost forever

With the tears in my eyes
And my heart how it cries
Let me spend just one night with you
Now I'm down on my knees
And I'm begging you please
Let me spend just one night with you

Babe, it's up to you
Babe, it's up to you

Baby It's You

I was lost and at an end
It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?

I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
But where would I be?

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

Try my best to get along
Make some friends, but something always went wrong
I come on too strong
Things were really getting rough
Getting tired of acting like I was tough
I just had enough

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

(Chorus x 2)

Back To Bradford

Even though you offered, I still refuse
Though your face is pretty, I don#t have to choose
Goodbye cardboard city, you've nothing to say
Though your face is pretty, I don't have to say

You know what I like
Going back to Bradford, it's what I prefer
Though your face is pretty, you're nothing like her
She's my friend and you know what I like

Going back to Bradford, it's what I prefer

Back To You

Remember when I kissed you in the pooring rain
To young to know that lovin' had a better game
I don't pretend that even if we lost the flame
I'll bring it back to you again.

And I...
Don't want to be a fool, don't wanna
Don't want to be without you, no more
I wanna give it up to you
And make it right, make it true.

As long as you want that feeling
I'll bring it back to you
As long as you feel that sweet sensation
Love that we once knew
If only you keep believin'
Even if I don't know when
I'll bring it back to you
Back to you.

I must have been to blind to see
Now I know you always be the one for me
And in the end, baby, if you feel the same
I'm coming back to you
Back to you again.

And I...
Don't want to be a fool, don't wanna
Don't want to be without you, no more
I wanna give it up to you
And make it right, make it true.

As long as you want that feeling

The night we met
I knew i needed you so

Oh, since the day i saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know i will adore you
Till eternity so won't you please

If you should see my Belinda
Tell her I miss her so
And give all my love to Belinda

Won't you please come on home to me
Can't you see

When I said bye-bye Belinda
Please, come on home to me

So if you should see my Belinda
Please tell her I love her so
And keep on telling my Belinda

Won't you please come on home to me
Can't you see

When I said bye-bye Belinda

Big Fat Momma

I thought my chance of being in love
had passed me by, it's true
but you brought the sun back into my life
now I must confess to you
I was a lonely boy
until you came along and brought me joy
just like a baby with a brand new toy
you really made my day

I was a lonely boy
just a little shy and oh, so coy
with all the charm and grace
that you employ
you stole my heart away
I was only young and so were you
but what else could I do
one, two, how I love you

Oh, big fat momma, hold me close and
squeeze me tight
bet your bottom dollar, I'll be right
if I stay with you
Big fat momma, take a walk with me tonight
bet your bottom dollar, by the light
of the silvery moon

Harmonise and croon a simple tune
together we will spoon
and in June, honey-moon

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Boulevard of Broken Dreams lyrics

Walking in the rain,
I can't believe the way I'm feeling;
Lonely once again,
Could it be that I'm still dreaming;
I thought I heard you talking,
But deep inside I know,
This heart of mine has left me walking

Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
You left me broken hearted,
Before we got things started
Rain keeps falling, or so it seems
Down the boulevard of broken dreams,
Don't leave me broken hearted,
I don't wanna be on that
Boulevard of broken dreams

Burning in my heart,
Tells me now that it's all over;
It's tearing me apart,
Feeling that I'm sinking over;
I thought I heard you talking,
But deep inside I know,
This heart of mine has left me walking

Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Don't leave me broken hearted,
I don't wanna be on that
Boulevard of broken dreams.

Walking in the rain,
Can't believe what I am seeing;
Is it you again,
Oh tell me baby I'm not dreaming,
'Cause I can hear you talking,
No more will I be walking

Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
Down the Boulevard of broken dreams,
You left me broken hearted,
Before we got things started
Rain keeps falling, or so it seems
Down the boulevard of broken dreams,
Don't leave me broken hearted,
I don't wanna be on that
Boulevard of broken dreams

Dont leave me baby
I dont wanna be
On that Boulevard of broken dreams
Dont break my heart
Keeping us apart
I dont wanna be lonely (slowly fade)

Brave New World

Out on the blue horizon, the clouds were rollin' in
The ground below was shaking, with the risin' wind
I looked over my shoulder, said goodbye to my home
After today there'd be no turning back, we were on our
own
Everyone had taken sides, the battle lines were drawn
We stared into the face of war, and waited for the dawn
Everything that we worked for, they took from our hands
We were left with no choice but to stand up and fight for
this land
But don't worry darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl,
And somehow you will find the strength
To stand up on your own
And live in this brave new world
How it all came down to this, no one can really say
Every time we cried out for help, they looked the other
way
Now there's no turning back, we have got to be strong
We will travel the hard road to freedom, no matter how
long
But don't worry darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
These are the times we're born into
This is why we're here
To live in this brave new world

Broken Hearts

I'm just nother guy on an empty road
Waiting patiently for someone
I don't know
I'm just another face in a
Crowded room
Got that feeling that they're
Watching me
But they look straight through

(Chorus):
Broken hearts don't ever lie
You can push and shove
'Til you've had enough
'Til the tears all run dry
Broken hearts don't ever lie
No matter what the future holds
They say that broken hearts
Don't ever lie

It's just another day in a
Lonely year
A million miles from somewhere
A million miles from here
It's just another place in a
Different time
Alone here with the memory
Of a past I left behind

(Chorus)

I'm just another guy
On an empty road
A million miles from somewhere
Get a million miles to go

(Chorus)

Can You Feel My Heartbeat

In the barroom on the corner
The first I saw my true love
A smile so warm and gentle
And she slowly passed me by
From the shadow of the doorway
I heard her softly whisper
As I turned and looked towards her
Saw the sparkle in her eye
She said oh you are a dreamer
And your heart is all you offer
And I may be in danger
Of becoming a dreamer too
I always will remember
In that dark and dusty corner
How we spent that time together
How awful if we'd been seen
The first time that ever I saw your face
I got so excited
I swore that I never would leave this place
Took so long to find it
Can you feel my heartbeat
Can you feel it calling you
The first time that ever I saw your face
I got so excited
I swore that I never would leave this place
Took so long to find it
Can you feel my heartbeat......

Can't Cry Hard Enough

I'm gonna live my life - like everyday's the last
Without a simple goodbye - it all goes by so fast
Now that you're gone - I can't cry hard enough
No i can't cry hard enough - For you to hear me now
Gotta open my eyes, and see for the first time
I've let go of you like a child letting go of his kite

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
But no reason why - I can't cry hard enough
I can't cry hard enough, for you to hear me now

And i look back in vain, see you standing there
When all that remains is an empty chair
And now that you're gone,
I can't cry hard enough
No i can't cry hard enough, For you to hear me now

There it goes, up in the sky
There it goes, beyond the clouds
But no reason why - I can't cry hard enough
I can't cry hard enough, for you to hear me now

But no reason why - I can't cry hard enough
I can't cry hard enough, i can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now ...

Can't Fight This Feeling

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

And ever as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's
night
And I'm getting closer than I every thought I might

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
'Coz I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction, you make everything so
clear

And ever as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's
night
And I'm getting closer than I every thought I might

No I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

No I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Or come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been runnin' round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you girl
'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never
find

And ever as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's
night
And I'm getting closer than I every thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever

No I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Or come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore

Can't This Be Love

Love, love is a stranger drifting through the night
With no sense of danger
Never letting go, like the wind she flies so free
All of my lightening inside, it can't be denied
The truth is there to see
Can't this be love, cause it's more than a feeling to me
More than a feeling believe me, I never dreamed this
could be
Can't this be love
Can't this be love
Can't this be love
Oh Can't this be love
Love, love is a darkness, waiting for the light to shine
for them in silence
Capturing the time that only we can see
But the lightening inside it can't be denied
The truth was meant to be
Can't this be love...
So Can't this be love...
cause it's more than a feeling to me
More than a feeling believe me, I never dreamed this
could be
Can't this be love
Can't this be lovere

Don't Take Your Love Away This Time

Don't take your love away
Leave it behind
Maybe another day
You will find

That deep in your heart you've been searching
For something that's here all the time
So, don't take your love away this time.

If you must run to him
Please, make up your mind
I'll try to understand
Though he's not your kind

I promise to make all your dreams come true
Baby, if you'll still be mine
So, don't take your love away this time.

This time, don't tell me that we're through
'cause life can't go on without you.

You know we can't go on pretending
So darling, please give me a sign
And don't take your love away this time.

Don't take your love away this time
Don't take your love away this time
Don't take your love away this time.

Don't Turn Out Your Light

Very nearly caught me out that time
but let me win that's a memory of mine
time cuaht up with you too soon
and I cried enough tears to put oceans on the moon

Don't turn out your light
don't turn out your light
Don't turn out the light that
I see shining from you to me
It's so real

It's been four years since you've been gone
but you touch me in the night and
in me you live on

Don't turn out your light...

Grandad's son you're on my min
You're everywhere
didn't know I'd miss you soo
till you weren't there

Don't turn out your light...

Times we shared together seem so few
And oh what I'd do for more time with you

Smokie

Drift Away

Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong

Endless Way

You never had the feeling that
You've been loved - ever sad
Look the ground beneath your feet
Had to cry and you got weak

You run away tell me why
Just what for - tryin' to hide
The voices that you could hear
Gave you doubt a lof of fear

Baby it isn't easy to go your way
Tumbling through the darkness
Longing of the day

Wherever you reach in the end
Sometimes you need a helping hand
This is my call have no fear at all
On your endless way

You'll see the sky out from grey
No more run and hide away
Don't lose sight for the right
Till you see the shining light

I don't mind don't get me wrong
There's a kind of frost among
Live it up day by day
To give it you - and that's now way

Baby it isn't easy to go your way
Tumbling through the darkness
Longing for the day

Baby it isn't easy to go your way
Tumbling through the darkness and
Longing for the day

Little Kiss

Understand what you mean to me
My growing hunger for your love
I haven't always shown the way I feel
A crime I know I'm guilty of
But try to understand
It's taken me so long to free my mind
To open up to all this love you have to give

With every little kiss
You release the love in me
With every little kiss
I give in as helplessly
No I never knew what love was about until you
Showed me how to feel
With every little kiss

I will be your fantasy
Every desire that you dream of
I'll be your shining knight
I'll be your Romeo, your guiding light
You hold the key to all the love that's locked inside

Repeat

With every little kiss...

There are times we touch
I feel the beatin' of your heart
Touch me darlin' with your warm caress
Every breath we take brings us to a higher love
Say we'll be forever girl
With every little kiss
