When we were strangers
it’s so hard to remember the time
not being by your side
All these years
I don’t know where they’ve gone
time slips away
I don’t mean to wake you up this late
I’m so restless darling I just can’t sleep
don’t know why I’m feeling this urge
to tell you now
I love you still – I love you still             

I know you so well
every single line in your face
and every move you make
so nothing’s new
but still you’re keeping me alive
every single day
I don’t mean to wake you up this late
I’m so restless darling just can’t sleep
don’t know why I’m feeling this urge
to tell you now
I love you still – love you still

I must have been doing something right
With you by my side I can’t loose
I’m down on my knees tonight

I’m down on my knees tonight
I’m down on my knees tonight
for you my love
I’m calling out your name – all the time
Can’t you see there’s no way
I could live without you by my side
I’m down on my knees tonight
for you my love
I must have been doing something right
in my life - ‘cause you’re still by my side
I’m down on my knees tonight

Such a beautiful night
it’s such a perfect night
she sits in her place - so quiet – holding her breath
the velvet curtains the chandeliers
everybody is here for the laughter and the tears

There’s a king there’s a crook
a queen she’s so sad
the court jester is trying his best to get her in the mood
absent minded – out of reach
and there’s no one here to step into the breach
I want to feel you
I want to live too
I want to give - I want to love

From the dark he appears
a hero in disguise
he’s the one with the courage, the power and the strength
he will fight for her any day
he will live on forever in this passion play

Such a beautiful night
she thought - a perfect night
stepping out in the cold night
brings her right back
to the streets to the house to the bed
he’ll be waiting now she remembers someone said:

I want to feel you
I want to live too
I want to give - I want to love

I will love you forever
for the rest – the rest of my time
Deep in my heart forever
that will be my only crime
I hope I’ll keep you inspired
I want to keep you on fire
No matter how the wind’s gonna blow
My heart won’t let you go

There’s a ring on my finger
There’s a light – a light in my eyes
Only true love will linger
A pure heart can tell no lies
It’s my life I am giving
And it feels just like living
No matter how the wind’s gonna blow
My heart won’t let you go

Troubled times will get here
no matter how we try
To keep away the clouds, my dear
please show me when you cry

Let the music begin
with a tune – a tune we both know
let the story begin
into the dance we go
Look me straight in the eyes - let me kiss you  twice
No matter how the wind’s gonna blow
My heart won’t let you go - no
my heart won’t let you go - no
my heart won’t let you go

Every light is getting brighter everyday
Every colour’s getting deeper every way
There’s a fire in my heart I never knew
and a song I want to sing to you
there are many things to say
I have dreams in my head
Let the morning begin
 
Older now every minute – every way
I am feeling stronger every day
Like an eagle in the sky - flies away
Better days are here to stay

I remember we were laughing, having fun
I remember all the damage I have done
The sister and the friend I couldn’t be
I’m so happy that you’re still with me
Don’t give up it’s never late to try
Say goodbye - leave your sorrow behind
Older now every minute – every way.

Time is your friend
and your lover
don’t let it go
you are the one
to keep it alive –keep it alive

Older now every minute – every way.

I’ll stand by you
all through the night
you may be dreaming
may be screaming
I don’t care, ‘cause
I’ll stand by you
you’re in my heart
I’ll be your guardian angel
Baby, go to sleep

I’ll be you’re friend
forever more
You may be laughing may be crying
I don’t care, ‘cause
I’ll be your friend – you’re in my heart
I’ll be your guardian angel
Baby, go to sleep

Some day you’ll fly away
You’ll be on your own
I know that’s what you’re meant to be
you shall be free

Still - I’ll be your friend
you’re in my heart
I’ll be your guardian angel
Baby, go to sleep

She packed her bags and left you
with no words to say
except she found somebody new
the room seems so empty
and the bed too wide
she’s no longer by your side

The ring on your finger
so bright and new
all the papers you just signed
lie on the table – you feel like a clown
but most of all you’re feeling down
 
You thought she was the one
you didn’t think she’d run
by the time the laughter had gone

Burning bridges – leaving everything behind
in wanting something new
she never knew there was a price to pay
at the end of the day

You start to wonder ‘bout how she was
all the things she said and did
you should have seen it coming
you should have read the signs
‘cause her love just wasn’t deep
not strong enough to keep  -  the faith

Confusion rules in your head
Sometimes you wish you were dead
sweet girl, you got to find the love in you
no matter what you do
‘cause you got time on your hands
you have to take every chance
any dream that you might keep in your heart
don’t throw it away

I want to see you dancing tonight
I want to see that smile on your face
There’s a place for you to grow like a flower
somewhere there’s a place for you                               

No matter what you feel inside
don’t you run away and hide
Like a circle life will find you anyway
No matter what you say
Spring  is coming winter’s gone
outside you hear a different song
seasons change like the colours in the sky
just open your eyes

I want to see you dancing tonight
I want to see that smile on your face
There’s a place for you to grow like a flower
somewhere there’s a place
I want to see you dancing tonight
I want to see that smile on your face
There’s a place for you to grow like a flower
somewhere there’s a place for you

    

I don’t know you at all
I never looked at your face
still I feel your presence  - everywhere
Sometimes I’m hearing your voice
coming in from the sea
like a whisper in my ear
like an ancient prayer

Following the footsteps in the sand
chasing every shadow in the dark
Whenever you’re lonely
I’m telling you it’s only
In your mind

Feel the sun crashing through
from a dark and cloudy sky
makes me tremble makes me shake
every move you make
only here for a while
only here for a song
like a whisper in my ear
like an ancient prayer

Following the footsteps in the sand
chasing every shadow in the dark
Whenever you’re lonely
I’m telling you it’s only
In your mind
Following the footsteps in the sand
chasing every shadow in the dark
Whenever you’re lonely
I’m telling you it’s only
In your mind

Silence used to be a friend
I used to love those quiet days
seeing things so clearly
on my own - but not alone
it’s all so different – I find
now that you’ve gone away

I used to wake up in the morning
looking out on the day
still warm after sleeping
feeling warm inside
it’s all so different – I find
now that you’ve gone away

Close to you  - I feel so close to you
still can’t believe you’re not here
I want to be near you

Outside the world is moving on
I will follow I know
just not ready for sunshine - give me some time
‘cause it’s all so different – I find
now that you’re gone
You’re gone – you’re gone
you’re gone – you’re gone
it’s all so different , I find
Now that you’ve gone away

The fields are dressed in black
leaves are turning red
Someone said  ”be patient”,
‘cause every time they burn
they leave their soul behind
for you to find

Like a lullaby’s rocking a baby to sleep
in it’s mother’s arms
Every move that she makes
every sound will be carried into the night

Winter’s knocking on your door
You stare right in his face
There’s no place to run to
You kept an empty chair
You know that he will stay
another day

Like a river that’s bound to be rolling
No ending – no return
Gently floating or rageously rising
It’s moving on and on

Her hands are as soft like an angel’s wings
waving goodbye
Her smile’s not a smile for this world
she’s fading away
Her hands are as soft like an angel’s wings
waving goodbye
Her smile’s not a smile for this world
she’s fading away

The fairest tree in the forest
For the boy to see
It used to bring him joy
It used to make him laugh all day
This time confusion filled his head
This time – he just couldn’t understand

He had a million thoughts
he just couldn’t figure out
he tried to set them free
and tried to let them out of his head
he was nearly going blind – this time
just couldn’t see a thing

Some thoughts they fell to the ground
and were buried alive
others took the sky
and vanished in the air
just like a dream
Some thoughts kept hanging in the air
this time – he just couldn’t let them go

Running in the woods
Like a monkey in a tree
Smooth and easy
like the world just couldn’t go wrong
Now he must see the world
he’ll go around
he’ll never be the same again

The fairest tree in the forest
all the beauty in the world
Still there for the boy
still waiting for his eyes to see
I am wondering where he’ll go
I am wondering this time

Sometimes you look at the world
through dark glasses
sometimes you don’t look at all
I’m right beside you
I wonder if you notice
you’re so far away
I know your sorrow has a reason
and it sometimes is hard
you’re digging deep
and it’s all right; just remember
to keep an eye for the sky

Oh, what a beautiful day that is coming
such a glorious time ahead
oh, what a wonderful day we could be spending
a lot of things to do
a lot of things to talk about
on such a beautiful day

When I first met you and looked into your eyes
there was hope and despair
and all the things that I love are inside you
Please, let me in
now you’re showing the dark side of the moon
I’m not running away
Just don’t tell me the moon is not rising
‘cause I’ve seen it shine

Oh, what a beautiful day that is coming
such a glorious time ahead
oh, what a wonderful day we could be spending
a lot of things to do
a lot of things to talk about
on such a beautiful day

You’re sleeping – I’m lying close to you
I don’t know why – I know I’ve tried
I don’t seem to get through to you
I’ve heard in your voice
I’ve seen it on your face
Just like a dream – slipping through my fingers
Fading away then one fine day
It just seems that love is gone
         
It’s over – I’m leaving you this time
I’m packing all my bags
I’m gonna walk I’m gonna walk right through that door
There’s nothing you can do
nothing you can say
To make me stay – I don’t suppose you would
make me stay another day
It just seems that love is gone

Just like a dream – slipping through my fingers
Fading away then one fine day
It just seems that love is gone
