One Little Word I didn't want to say those things I said last night I didn't want to see that pain on your face And I have surprised myself by just how far I would go When some little piece of my pride is at stake I can't believe I've hurt the only soul I love It's as though I've been watching someone else And I would love to take back the many things I've said 'cause it torments like living in hell What I want And what I'm trying to say One little word is all I need (That's all I need) I would come back (To push me away now) You couldn't keep me away One little word is all I need One little word Sorry's what I've said or at least I'm trying to But it doesn't sound at all like that to you Sometimes look behind what's said to find what I really mean Can't you please end this misery soon What I want And what I'm trying to say One little word is all I need (That's all I need) And you could come back (To push me away now) I'd never turn you away One little word is all I need One little word And I would love to take back the many things I've said What I want (Don't keep me away now) What I'm trying to say One little word is all I need (That's all I need) And I would come back (To push me away now) You couldn't keep me away One little word is all I need One little word Take away Take away And ... Just with one little word It's all you take Just one Just one Just one little word --------------------- 2. Everytime We Touch ('98) A shooting star fell down to Earth Lightning cracked the sky Something weird is happening Something I can't deny A strange kind of magic Running through my brain Feel I'm in heaven Or going insane 'Cause everytime we touch I get this feeling And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast I want this to last Need you by my side 'Cause everytime we touch I feel the static And everytime we kiss I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go Want you in my life The wind was like a hurricane Storm clouds filled the sky I heard a crash of thunder The earth shook in reply A strange kind of magic Running through my brain Feel like I'm in heaven Or going insane Repeat chorus three times --------------------- 3. Walk On By If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by Make believe that you don't see the tears Let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry, walk on by I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken in two Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride it's all that I have left So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye, walk on by, walk on by Please don't stop Please don't stop Walk on by Please don't stop Please don't stop Walk on by If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by Make believe that you don't see the tears Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you I break down and cry, walk on by, walk on by Repeat chorus --------------------- 4. To France Taking on water, sailing a restless sea From a memory, a fantasy The wind travels into white water Far from the highlands Don't you know you're... Never going to get to France Mary Queen of chance will they find you Never going to get to France Could a new romance ever bind you Walking on foreign ground like a shadow Roaming in far off territory Over your shoulder stories unfold You're searching for sanctuary You know you're... Repeat chorus I see the picture By the lamp's flicker Isn't it strange Those dreams fade and shimmer Repeat chorus I see the picture By the lamp's flicker Isn't it strange Those dreams fade and shimmer Repeat chorus Never going to get to France Never going to... --------------------- 5. Listen To Your Heart You keep going your own way You know the rules, you can't deny Stop kidding yourself You're saying goodbye Thought you had all the answers Memorised the games to play Behave yourself now Don't throw this away Listen to your heart and you will hear it Takes a fool in love to understand Listen to your heart to see just how these things are planned Look into your soul and you will know it A gift like this is sent from high above Listen to your heart to find the meaning of this love Later on I'll recover I'll learn before I go insane You're out of control Excuses are lame Repeat chorus Can't you see it's a crying shame Oh you're throwing it all away There's nobody I can blame How I wish you could hear me say Listen to your heart! Listen! Repeat chorus Listen to your heart and you will hear it Takes a fool in love to understand Listen to your heart to see Just how these things are planned Listen to your heart! Won't you listen to your heart? --------------------- 6. Brought Up To Believe Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment Lipstick ladies in their head Magazine styles romantic visions Starting their lives advertisement fed And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life Thinking about the easy years to come Looking forward that's the only way that they've been taught One day the world will be their own And the wheel turns around In the twinkling of an eye And they find their hopes just castles in the sand Older faces in the mirror now Chasing ghosts of yesterday Once they were foolish, once they didn't care Now their eyes fill with memories They were brought up to believe in dreams and a better life They sure knew good times when they were young But somehow, sometimes, it's not easy to recall All the good things they have done As their time slips away Only memories live on Ever changing with the passing of the years How could life be so hard Fading wishes left to rust Till they find the stardust sprinkled in their eyes Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment Lipstick ladies in their head Magazine styles romantic visions Starting their lives advertisement fed They were brought up to believe in dreams of a better life Thinking about the easy years to come Looking forward that's the only way to realize One day the world will be their own And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life They sure knew good times when they were young But sometimes, somehow, it's not easy to recall All the good things that they have done --------------------- 7. Moonlight Shadow (Mike Oldfield) The last that ever she saw him Carried away by a moonlight shadow He passed on worried and warning Carried away by a moonlight shadow Lost in a riddle that Saturday night Far away on the other side He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight And she couldn't find how to push through The trees that whisper in the evening Carried away by a moonlight shadow Sing a song of sorrow and grieving Carried away by a moonlight shadow All she saw was a silhouette of a gun Far away on the other side He was shot six times by a man on the run And she couldn't find how to push through I stay, I pray, see you in heaven far away I stay, I pray, see you in heaven one day Four AM in the morning Carried away by a moonlight shadow I watched your vision forming Carried away by a moonlight shadow Stars move slowly in a silvery night Far away on the other side Will you come to talk to me this night But she couldn't find how to push through Repeat Chorus Far away on the other side Caught in the middle of a hundred and five The night was heavy and the air was alive But she couldn't find how to push through Carried away by a moonlight shadow Far away on the other side --------------------- 8. Little Boy's Eyes Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the clouds so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are "I thought that was really nice" There's something in the air tonight A feeling all around me The glimmer of a distant light A star to guide me I don't believe it, it can't be true Halfway up to heaven I put my faith and my trust in you Don't let me down You smile and like a rainbow Everything's bright in my little girl life Your laughter makes my heart glow You make me cry with those little boy's eyes I didn't know the time was right You came along and moved me Now everything is here tonight The way you love me Don't believe it, it can't be true I'm halfway up to heaven I've put my faith and my hope in you Don't let me fall Repeat chorus Never go too far away Stay here beside me And with your gentle loving ways Don`t ever leave me Repeat chorus twice You make me cry with those little boy's eyes --------------------- 9. All My Heart Can Hold In narrow streets that climb away From harbour walls at close of day As dusk falls soft I hear My footsteps echo clear Across the bay Up into the starry blue Rain and tears streaming down my face Dark chill of this empty place The night bears witness to All my heart can hold I'm left watching all my thoughts collide Wish I could take back such foolish pride I felt you understood this love inside Now it's just an arrow fallen wide Of all my heart can hold I realise here beneath this sky I've never known how to say goodbye So you just slipped away From what I had to say That still connects me to All my heart can hold I felt you understood this love inside Now it's just an arrow fallen wide Of all my heart can hold Here in the midnight Fading shadows reappear Have I been dreaming for too long? So many ghosts and fears Are catching up with me Don't make me wait too long Don't make me wait too long All around me the world is still I lift my head on this lonely hill I'll put these stars to flight Roll back this velvet night And make a million suns Shine only on you Repeat chorus All my heart can hold ...can hold... All my heart, all my heart can hold... --------------------- 10. Foreign Affair (Mike Oldfield) Foreign affair Take a trip in the air To a tropical beach An island to reach A new territory For an intimate story A lagoon by la mere It's a foreign affair Drifting and free On a mystical sea A wish of emotion A drop in the ocean A hush in the air You can feel anywhere In the cool twilight On a tropical night Floating on air Foreign affair A magical potion... A cool locomotion... A dream A prayer It's a foreign affair Floating on air Foreign affair A magical potion... A cool locomotion... A dream A prayer It's a foreign affair Repeat chorus six times Foreign... --------------------- 11. Family Man (Mike Oldfield) She had a sulky smile She took a standard pose as she presented herself She had sultry eyes She made it perfectly plain that she was his for a price But he said leave me alone I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite He said leave me alone I'm a family man If you push me too far I just might She wore hurt surprise As she re-checked her make-up to protect herself She showed less than pride She made it totally clear that she was his for a price But he said leave me alone I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite Please just leave me alone I'm a family man If you push me too far I just might She gave him her look That would have worked on any other man in sight He could not mistake She wanted to go back with him and spend the night But he said leave me alone I'm a family man And my bark is much worse than my bite Please just leave me alone I'm a family man If you push me too far I just might She turned, tossed her head And then she started to make her final exit line She showed real disdain As if explaining again she could be his for a price Repeat chorus four times --------------------- 12. Don't Wanna Lose I don't wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose your love I don't wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose your love Last night when we were talking I saw the look of sadness in your eyes Last night I took you walking And wondered if somehow I could make things right Please don't you throw our love away I couldn't bear to lose it Hang on, trust me one more day I'll come around Repeat chorus I knew, that you'd been crying I promise, I won't tell another lie Please don't you throw our love away I couldn't bear to lose it Hang on, trust me one more day I'll come around Oh my love Can't you understand How I'm feelin' How I'm feelin' deep inside Oh my love Can't you feel The way that I'm feelin' That I'm feelin' deep inside I don't wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose your love Last night when we were talking I saw the look of sadness in your eyes Please don't you throw our love away I couldn't bear to lose it Hang on, trust me one more day I'll come around Repeat chorus Last night... I don't wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose When we were talking... I don't ever wanna lose your love I saw the look of sadness... I don't wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose In your eyes... I don't ever wanna lose your love Last night... I don't wanna lose I don't ever wanna lose I took you walking... I don't wanna ever lose your love... --------------------- 13. Follow The Midnight Sun Many turned to see the light Wondering if tomorrow would they know Rainbow-coloured, jewel-bright Glowing through the softly falling snow You can call for a way Turn night to day And follow the midnight sun Midnight sun Ever since the madness fell Captive of a never-ending daze Stranded in a timeless spell And held inside a gilded maze I wonder how long must it take Till the sleeping awake To follow the midnight sun Midnight sun You can call for a way To turn night into day And follow the midnight sun Midnight sun And you follow the midnight sun Midnight sun Mirrored in a frozen pool Images of long-forgotten past We all share fragments of a memory The answers held within this crystal glass I wonder how long must it take Till the dreaming awake To follow the midnight sun You know if you look you will find In your soul, peace of mind And follow the midnight sun Midnight sun And I'll follow the midnight sun Midnight sun --------------------- 14. Echoes Is it just imagination Or have we met before The look in your eyes You came in through the door A momentary sadness I felt in coming on Maybe this time it's win or lose Caught in this madness I look for a guiding light Help me to hold on to the night Maybe it's the right time The echoes of your call Cast shadows on the wall Leading the way Underneath the starlight A million so it seems Scattered in my dreams Hold back the day Shadows playing Across the court yard floor I turn to see you Waiting by the door A look of confusion Take shelter from the storm Now there can be no turning back But if this magic won't last till break of day We'll just have to chase the dawn away Repeat chorus --------------------- 15. Wait Lying in my bed alone and whispering your name Wonder where you are tonight and do you feel the same Letting my thoughts fly to where you might be Sharing the secret that took you from me Heart is beating faster with the memory of your touch Try to ease this loneliness I'm missing you so much I'm with you when sleep comes I find you in dreams But wake to confusion it's not as it seems "I'm waiting for you," those words I still hear you say But it seems like a lifetime since you went away These chains round my heart and they just won't let me be Until you return I will never be free I hear you call: "Wait for me" Do you still remember by the ocean oh so blue As I looked into your eyes you said that you'd be true The promises made as we walked on the beach Like the moon and the stars now so far out of reach Repeat chorus Lying in my bed alone and whispering your name Wonder where you are tonight and do you feel the same Letting my thoughts fly to where you might be Sharing the secret that took you from me Repeat chorus I'm waiting for you because it's all I can do But it seems all my life I've been waiting for you This ache in my heart you know it won't let me be Until you return I will never be free Still I can hear: "Wait for me" Repeat chorus ==================================={End Of file}
