Guilty Secret

I'm living with a guilty secret, deep in my heart,Living in a guilty secretlife;We meet at night, we stay out late, And we avoid the man who makes

her life so bad, 'Cos he doesn't want her, the way that I want her, Hedoesn't need her the way I do;The phone is hot with whispered words,Andwhen we can't speak we have textual delight,'Cos he doesn't need her,the way that I need her,He doesn't love her the way I do;We're living witha guilty secret deep in our hearts,Living in a guilty secret life,And anytimeI want to see her,Just have to dream, I love her;Oh it's alright, 'cos we'vegot time - A good thing's worth waiting for - And it's my life and I can saythatShe's mine, mine, mine;There was a time, he was my friend, But now

the way he treats that woman is the end, And she doesn't love him, theway that she loves me, She doesn't want him anymore;We're living with aguilty secret deep in our hearts,Living in a guilty secret life, and anytime Iwant to see her,Just have to dream, I love her, I really love her,Oh it'salright, 'cos we've got time - a good thing's worth Waiting for - and it's mylife, and nobody knows thatShe's mine, mine, mine;We're living with aguilty secret, deep in our hearts,Living in a guilty secret life,Mmm, living

with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,Living in a guilty secret life,Livingwith a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,Living in a guilty secret life,Wemeet at night - guilty secret,We stay out late - guilty secret,The phone ishot - guilty secret,Whispered words - guilty secret,Mmm, living with aguilty secret, deep in our hearts,Living in a guilty secret life.

If Beds Could Talk

If beds could talk, mine would be singing, Singing about the time whenyou and I were lovers, All night long, we could not stop,They were

amazing times, they were the crazy times, They were the best that I haveknown, Another place to fly, another taste to try,We were awake in abeautiful dream;If beds could talk, mine would be saying, Come back andhold me in your arms again, If beds could talk, mine would be calling,Come back and let me love you once again;If walls could hear, mine wouldremember Every word we said when you and I were lovers, All night long,we could not stop, Remember every kiss, and every touch of lips, Andevery sensual delight,They were hypnotic times, they were erotic times,

They were a thousand Arabian nights;If beds could talk, mine would besaying, Come back and hold me in your arms again, If beds could talk,mine would be calling,Come back and let me love you once again;If bedscould talk, if walls could hear, if windows see, imagine,The moments andthe memories, they all come flooding back,If tables turn, if wheels caress,if mirrors see the passion,You'd be the best of them all;If beds could talk,mine would be saying, Come back and hold me in your arms again, If beds

could talk, mine would remember, soCome back and let me love you onceagain,If beds could talk - mine would be singing,If beds could talk - minewould remember,If beds could talk - mine would be calling,If beds couldtalk - mine would be waiting,If beds could talk - mine would be singing,Ifbeds could talk,If beds could talk,If beds could talk...

Lebanese Night

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden

outside,And in her eyes I saw the stars, And I felt something happen in myheart;Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanesenight,And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,Andwhen she smiled, the whole world stopped,It was then I heard the echoesof a child;And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby, And the soundof the guns in the night, And did you dance in the fields, did you run foryour life,From the hell that came down from the sky? On a Lebanesenight, on a Lebanese night;We went down to the edge of the water, by the

light of a Lebanese dawn,And she told me all the stories of her beautifulland in the war,Her tears fell down, the sun came up, And I saw again theyoung girl in her eyes;And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,And the sound of the guns in the night, And did you dance in the fields,did you run for your life,From the hell that came down from the sky? On aLebanese night, on a Lebanese night;All of my life, all I have known, onlya place where peace cannot go;All over the world, the gift from before,

nothing is left for the children of war;And did you go to your bed with asweet lullaby, And the sound of the guns in the night, And did you dancein the fields, did you run for your life,From the hell that came down fromthe sky? On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night, On a Lebanese night,on a Lebanese night, I will be waiting, in the Lebanon.

Timing is Everything

We play the game, we pay the price, with luck that comes and goes,Nomatter what the Gods decide, we always spoil their show,Just like when

you are finally near the lover of your dreams,And as you stand therewaiting, she turns and walks away;And you discover that timing is everything, you've got to get it right,Timing is everything in life;We break apart when world's collide, as everybody knows, we know it!Youhear she'll be somebody's bride, and just can't let her go,So get down tothe church, and let her see you once again,Before you know it she'skissing you, and throws the ring away;

And then she whispers to you, timing is everything, you finally got it right,Timing is everything in life, timing is everything in life;Sooner or later all good things come to your heart, in lifeIt's a waitinggame;When you remember that timing is everything, you've got to get it right,Timing is everything in life, timing is everything,Timing is everything,timing is everything, timing is everything,We play the game, we pay the

price - timing is everything,No matter what the Gods decide - timing iseverything,We break apart when worlds collide - timing is everything,Weplay the game, we pay the price - timing is everything,No matter what theGods decide - timing is everything,We break apart when worlds collide -timing is everything...

There's Room In This Heart Tonight

How many times can I look in your eyes, And say I have nothing togive?And how many more times must I wake in

the night With dreams of the way that you live?Well I can hear you crying in silence, I can see you, lost in thedark,And I am near you, turn to me now, There's room in this hearttonight;So many people all over the world Are living in pain and despair,And so many reach out for the hand that can help, Still calling tonobody there;Well I can hear you, crying in silence, I can see you lost in thedark,And I am near you, turn to me now, There's room in this hearttonight;There is a part of everyone That cannot see and cannot hear,because we don't want to know, But somewhere there's a biggerheart that's reaching out for all of us, a place to go;There are so many in life who need a helping hand,Somebody whocan heal the pain;

Yes I can hear you, crying in silence, I can see you, you're lost inthe dark,And I am near you, turn to me now, There's room in thisheart tonight,There's room in this heart tonight, There's room inthis heart tonight.

She Must Have Known

She must have known from the moment she saw him,From the look in hiseye, and the way that he smiled,She must have dreamed of lying beside

him,His hands on her body, his whispers of love;There is nothing that theeye can't see,There is nothing that the heart can't feel,There is nothingthat a love can't heal, whatever is waiting,It is meant to be, it is meant tobe;She must have felt the stirrings of passion,It's been missing so longwith the man in her life,But now at last there is someone beside her,Somebody to guide her, someone to love;There is nothing that the eyecan't see,There is nothing that the heart can't feel,There is nothing that alove can't heal, whatever is waiting,It is meant to be;Oh the time will

come when we'll be living the dream,It's that miracle moment for beingwhat we believe;There is nothing that the eye can't see,There is nothingthat the heart can't feel,There is nothing that a love can't heal, whateveris waiting,Sooner or later, it is meant to be, it is meant to be, it wasmeant to be, She must have known - it was meant to be,She must haveknown - it was meant to be,She must have known - it was meant to be,Shemust have known;Now she's heading for the sunshine, She's gonna be likeShirley Valentine, She must have known - it was meant to be,She musthave known - it was meant to be;She must have known ,Now she'sheading for the sunshine, She's gonna be like Shirley Valentine She musthave known.

The Best That Love Can Be

There was a time the fire was burning bright,And everything was shiningin the light,But when the heart is cold, together we're alone,Thinking of

reasons to stay away;There was a time that love was in our bed,Eternity inevery word we said,But when desire has gone, it's hard to carry on,Goingthrough the motions, when there's nothing there;You have got my heart,and all I want from you,Is just a kiss before we say goodbye;And let mekeep my memories of all the times we were amazing,And I will keep inmemories the best that love can be;There was a time we had so much tosay,Together at the ending of the day,But when the only words are all theones that hurt,Try to remember the way we were;Take the past and hold

it like a photograph,'Cos it's the only way to say goodbye;And we will keepthese memories of all the times we were amazing,And we will keep inmemories the best that love can be,The best that love can be;We wereamazing.

Bal Masque

So many hearts, so many years, so many people in this vale of tears,Butthere is one you will meet again, in this endless duet of the dance,Then

the carriages come and the ladies descend with their dreams,With thegloves and the mask, nothing is here what it seems;One touch is all ittakes, two hearts will meet again,I will know you tonight when I see youat the Bal Masqu,One touch is all it takes, two hearts will celebrate,Inthe heat of the night, when I see you at the Bal Masqu;Another face fromanother time, another place in another life,Behind the mask is an opendoor to the someone that you've been before,Then the music begins, andthe colours are starting to change,She comes in from the garden, I know

that it's her right away;One touch is all it takes, two hearts will meetagain,I will know you tonight when I see you at the Bal Masqu,One touchis all it takes, two hearts will celebrate,In the heat of the night, when Isee you at the Bal Masqu,At the Bal Masqu, at the Bal Masqu, at theBal Masqu,At the Bal Masqu, at the Bal Masqu, at the Bal Masqu,Somany hearts, so many years,Another face from another time,Another facein another life, at the Bal Masqu,So many hearts, so many years.

Love and Time

She is alone again, wondering how her world could have been,He's on the'phone again, telling her he'll be working late,"We're gonna have a real

good life, the money keeps rolling in,We can never really have enough,"but he doesn't see,What she wants isLove and time, dreams and affection,Love and time, hope and emotion;She is alone again, wondering how hernight could have been,He's had to go again, leaving her at a table for two,"I'm working on the next big thing, this is really what I'm living for,Youcan stay and have another drink," he just doesn't see,What she needs isLove and time, dreams and affection,Love and time, hope and emotion;One day he'll wake up, and find out that she has gone away,She'll be

looking forLove and time, dreams and affection,Love and time, hope andemotion,Love and time, dreams and affection,Love and time, hope andemotion.

Another Rainbow

Breaking bread and drinking wine, talking deep into the night,Justdreaming dreams and making plans forever,We have been the best of

friends, and always said since way back when,We'd change the world withmad ideas together;Another rainbow to follow with you,Another dreamthat may never come true,It is better to have tried in vain than never tryat all,Another rainbow where gold may fall;So we went our different ways,and though I had my darkness days,I sailed the stars and I found what Iwas looking for,You became a jack of trades, ace of all and king of none,With hands that hurt from knocking on so many doors;Another rainbow tofollow with you,Another dream that may never come true,It is better to

have tried in vain than never try at all,Another rainbow where gold mayfall;And there will always be these moments, when you can turn to meagain;Another rainbow to follow with you,Another crazy dream that justmight come true,'Cos it is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,Another rainbow where gold may fall.

Save Me

Once in a dream I was falling in love With someone who looked a lot likeyou, But just as our lips were starting to kiss,I woke up on the floor;It's

one of those nights for standing around And talking to people that I hardlyknow, An incoming tone came up on my phone, It was an SMS, and it said;"Save me, I think I've had enough of this,Save me, you are the one whocanSave me, take me away from here;"I look in the room, there's nobodythere,And then I saw her with the long blonde hair,I could not believe thegirl in my dream,Was waiting at the door, and she said;"Save me, I thinkI've had enough of this,Save me, you are the one who canSave me, takeme away from here;"Oh, cue a hundred days and nights of special

sensuality,Since lady luck came knocking on my door;An incoming tone isup on my phone, Another SMS, and it said;"Save me, I think I'm gettingout of it,Save me, no doubt about it,Save me, let's get away from here;""Save me, save me, save me, save me, Let's get away from here,Take meaway from here,Let's get away from here."

The Road to Freedom

I feel the wind blowing through my doorway,Its telling me that thesummers gone,And the winter waits in shadow, waiting with the storm;I

am old and my bones are weary,And my son he is all I have,But he hasgone to fight for freedom, leaving with my heart;All my life I have lovedthis land, worked it with my hands,But can this freedom send the rainwhen seed is in the ground,Can this freedom heal the pain and bring myboy back to me again?Oh oh oh....I watched them sail from the rocksbelow me,'Twas like the sea in its endless rage,Many fall on the road tofreedom, dying on the stones;All my life I have loved this land, worked itwith my hands,But can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the

ground,Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to meagain?Oh oh oh....Late last night, as the world was sleeping, I dreamed myboy,He was calling out, cos he was lost in some dark forest, andSnow wasfalling down, falling on the ground......ooh.....

Snow Is Falling

Snow is falling, snow is falling on the ground,In the forest, in the foresttheres no sound;A shallow grave is where we lie,The boys and men who

died,And snow is falling on the ground,And we are calling to be found;Andthe seasons, and the seasons come and go,In the springtime, birds willsing and flowers grow,At summers end, the autumn breeze,Will whisperthrough the trees,And leaves are falling on the ground,And we are callingto be found;And in our homes, so many tears,They dont know where wehave gone,And snow is falling on the ground,And we are calling to befound,We are calling to be found......

The Words

There are those who think that love comes with a lifetime guarantee,Butwe know from those around us, that this may not always be,Its the simple

things that come between a father and a son,But when they try to talk,the knives are outbefore they have begun;Well that was me, and I have seen the light thatshines for eternity,Because I learned to say the words I love you;Somany hearts have been broken by the lies of history,And so many armsare still open for that final mystery;We must show respect for all the rest,and what a man believes,And the one who died upon the cross, well he isthe one for me,And he said Come with me and you will see the light that

shinesFor eternity, be strong and learn to say the words I love you;Andthis endless road that we are on just keeps on going round,But theresone destination that always is here to be found;So come with me, and youwill see the light that shines for eternity,Be strong and learn to say thewords I love you,Be strong and learn to say the words I love you, thewords I love you, The words I love you, the words I love you.

Songbird

I heard a voice so pure and easy, a songbird singing for me,I had nochoice, only to listen, and surrender to her world;And she will fly over the

rainbow,She will walk in fields of gold,And when she sings from the highwalls of Heaven,Will the angels cry like me?At first alone, then withhundreds around me,Enchanted by her song,But as the day is done, andthe darkness is falling,The songbird sings no more;And now she flies overthe rainbow,And she walks in fields of gold,And when she sings from thehigh walls of Heaven,Will the angels cry like me?And when she sings fromthe high walls of Heaven,Will the angels cry like me, will the angels crylike me?

Here For You

I dont know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,Only aword before you go, everyones waiting;So many friends to say goodbye,

so many tears theyll have to cry,So many wings to help you fly where youare going;And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,And you will be up in the sky, and Ill be on the ground,Sending my lovewith you tonight;I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here foryou;I dont know where the years have gone,Suddenly here, and you havegrown,It was like only yesterday when you were so young;But here is theday we had to see, always the same eternally,This is the way that it mustbe, now it is your world;And so a plane must take away my child that time

has found,And you will be up in the sky, and Ill be on the ground,Sendingmy dreams with you tonight;I will be waiting.....Im trying not to show,Butseeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;I will be waiting,dont worry 'bout me, Ill be alright * I will be waiting, dont worry 'boutme, Ill be alright,Here for you, here for you,I dont know where the yearshave gone.....

Rose of England

Hear my voice and listen well, and a story I will tell,How duty brought abroken heart, and why a love so strongMust fall apart;She was lovely, she

was fine, daughter of a royal line,He, no equal, but for them it matteredlittle for they were in love;Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining withthe sun,Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,There theblood will run;Oh my heart, oh my heart;Through the summer days andnights, stolen kisses and delightsWould thrill their hearts and fill theirdreams with all emotionsThat true love can bring;But black of mourningcame one day, when her sister passed away,And many said on bendedknee, she has gone, and you must be our Queen;Rose of England, sweet

and fair, shining with the sun,Rose of England, have a care, for where thethorn is,There the blood will run;Oh my heart, oh my heart;To the abbeyshe did ride, with her lover by her side,When they heard the church bellsring, she was QueenAnd one day, hed be King;But men of malice, men ofhate, protesting to her chambers came,A foreign prince will have yourhand, for hell bring peaceAnd riches to our land;She said, Do you tellme that I cannot wed the one I love?Do you tell me that I am not mistressof my heart?

The Journey

Go with love upon your journey, go with wonderin your heart,May the light be there to guide you through

the terrors of the dark,You have always been a good friend, but I wontknow when youHave arrived, and I wish that I could see you one moretime;Theres a rainbow on the water, theres an eagle in the sky,Can youhear me up where you are, can you see me when I cry?You have left somuch behind you, all the love you have given life,And I wish that I couldhold you one more time;And they are always here beside us in a parallelpoint of view,And still they call, the ones whove gone before,Will youtake me by the hand when I come through?You have left so much behind

you, all the love you have given life,And I wish that I could hold you onemore time;Yes they are always here beside us, in a parallel point of view,Ihear them call, the ones whove gone before,Will you bring me to the lightwhen I come through?Go with love upon your journey, go with wonder inyour heart,May there be someone beside you, who can hold you in thedark,When you get down to the river, dont pay him till the other side,AndI wish that I could see you one more time, how I wish that ICould see youone more time.Go with love upon your journey.

I See You Everywhere

I see you everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,You took me on ahighway to the stars, and left me halfway there;I hold you in my dreams,

your tender kiss is neverwhat it seems,'Cos when I wake up in the morning sun, I look, but you'renot there;I cannot believe this has happened to me,It's been heaven inyour arms,You gave me so much, with an angel's touch,And then you tookmy heart;I see you in the street, and people turning at my running feet,But when I get up close a stranger's eyes, are looking back at me;Oh Icannot believe this has happened to me,It's like heaven for one day,Youleft me like this with an angel's kiss,And then you flew away;I see you

everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,I'm gonna take thathighway to the stars and I will find you there;I see you everywhere, I seeyou everywhere, I see you everywhere,I see you everywhere, everywhere;And when I'm looking for you, I'm gonna find you,And when I find you Iam, I'm gonna hold you,And when I hold you I am, I'm gonna love you,Andwhen I love you it will, it will be forever;I'm gonna love you.....I see you, Isee you, I see you, I see you,I see you, I see you, every, every,everywhere.I see you everywhere...Everywhere.

I Want It, (And I Want It Now)

Four in the morning and I just can't sleep,I've got a craving now forsomething sweet,So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,When I

get there, it's deserted;And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,Underthe sign that says, "Help Yourself,If you really gotta have it, then wereally gotta sell it to you,This is for people who say;I want it and I want itnow,I want it and I just can't wait,I want it and I want it now,I want it and Iwill not wait,I want it now!"I sit at home and when I watch TV,I gotta haveremote control with me,Oh and when I'm watching football, I can go tototal recall,I've got freeze frame, I got slow-mo;This is the way that it wasmeant to be,You gotta get ready for the century,I'm a total modern man,

And I got total modern plans,And it's so easy when you say;I want it, and Iwant it now,I want it, and I just can't wait,I want it and I want it now,Igotta get a feel to try,I gotta get a meal inside,I gotta get a deal tonight,Igotta say,I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,And I just can't wait!Iwant it, and I want it now,I want it, and I just can't wait,I want it, and Iwant it now,I want it, and I will not wait;I want it now,I want it now,I wantit now, and I just can't wait;I want it now,I want it now,I want it now, And I

just can't wait;Here it is the new sensation, listen to the new generation,"We want something, we want it now!"You don't need no invitation, listento the new conversation,"We want something, we want it now!"Ooh-ooh,Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,We want it now;Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,We want itnow;Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,We want it now;Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,I want it and I want it now.

The Last Moment of the Dawn

In the last moments of the dawn, Before the day begins,before we saygoodnight, Hold me now, kiss me now,My hands are shaking, and my

heart is aching,At the thought of making love with you;Tonight, I wouldnever dream that I would fall in love,And it would be with you,We're out atsea, just you and me,Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing,And your eyes are glowing with the light of love;There is no explanationwhy it should be this way,For you and me, must be destiny,And from anew horizon, you came right out of the blue;With the last moments of thedawn,Could be the first day of my life with you;Hold me now, kiss meagain, 'cos my hands are shaking,and my heart is aching,As the dream of

making love with youComes true.........In the last moments of the dawn,Inthe last moments of the dawn,In the last moments of the dawn.

Living in the World

Living in this fantasy, working with reality,I have come back here again, totouch the sun and feel the rain,Invitations, conversations, friends to make

me strong,I've seen that light and I watch it shine, living In The World;Well I believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea,With everymovement that we make, and every footstep that we take, Inspirations,correlations, where we're meant to be,There's so much more that I wantto know, living in the world;Oh-oh still the hunger, Oh-oh to see it all,Oh-oh and the wonder of the sunlight in the morning,And the moonlight onthe bay,I'm singing now;Oh, Oh, Oh, living in the worldOh, Oh, Oh, livingin the world;Don't believe a word you read, and only half of what you see,

'Cos there are those who make it up, just to make that extra buck,Andwhen they write the poison, they will surely get it back,And I'm still here,and I'm gonna stay, living in the World;Oh-oh - In the spotlight, Oh-oh - itcan be hard,Oh-oh - it's a hot light, when it's shining on the tough,That'swhen the tough begin to shine,I'm singing now;Oh, Oh, Oh, living in theworldOh, Oh, Oh, living in the world;I've seen the wonder of the forest inthe light,I've seen the miracle of winter birds in flight,I've seen theuniverse come flashing in the night,Living in the world;And when they callme, I will be waiting, When it's time to go,But I'm not ready yet!Oh, Oh,Oh, living in the world,Oh, Oh, Oh, living in the world.Living in the world,living in the world.........

Love the Heart Divine

And he laid her down in a field of corn, and the sun was on his back,Upabove there was, a clear blue sky, she held him by the hand,she had

known him since they both were young,He'd been always in her life,Andthe first time that he had kissed her lips,she knew it deep inside, that thiswas;Love of a different world, love of the life,Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine;Through the long hot days and the summernights,he was always by her side,Just a boy and girl in an innocent world,before the Flanders tide,When the autumn leaves had turned to gold,Shewould have her wedding day,And the people sang like an angel choir,Andeverybody said that this was;Love of a different world, love of the life,

Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine;Then the winter came,and the winds of war were blowing with the snow,And he looked so fine inhis uniform, she knew that he must go,When the soldiers left on themorning train,She was waving him goodbye,And as the tears rolled down,for the very first time,The baby kicked inside, and this was;Love of adifferent world, love of the life,Love of the ancient ones, love of the heartdivine;Love of a different world, love of the life,Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine.

My Lover Is

My lover is a morning with the sun,Another day with her has just begun,She's waking me up to see her world,My lover is the light;My lover is a

chance to play the fool,To shake a lot of trees and break the rules,She'sbringing me back the boy inside,My lover gives me time;And all throughthe days, there are so many ways to love her,Its easy to do, when theheart and the soul are true;My lover has the meaning of success,She'stelling me that I can be the best,But if I should fail at least I've tried,Mylover has it right;And all through the days, there are so many ways to loveher,It's easy to do when the heart and the soul are true;My lover is adancer in the dark,Whispering the secrets in her heart,She's opening up

to my desire,My lover in the night;She is the morning sun,She's the one,Bringing me back,The boy inside,My lover in the night,My lover is thelight,My lover has it right,My lover is my life.

Natasha Dance

Natasha brings me kisses in the moonlight,She kneels above me,silk upon my skin,I reach for her, and I can feel her heartbeat,

Beneath her breast so heavy in my hand;The rain is running riverson my window,And shimmers on the streetlights down below,She'shappy when I hold her in the shadows,And whispers of a life I'venever known;And will you dance, Natasha dance for me,Because Iwant to feel the passion in your soul,And when you dance, will youtell me in a story,The joy and pain of living in your world;And withthe light I wake up in the morning,And she has gone, it must have

been a dream,And then I see the roses on my pillow,And now Iknow that she will come again;And she will dance, Natasha dancefor me,Again I want to feel the passion in your soul,And when youmove, will you show me in a story,The joy and pain of living in yourworld;Natasha dance for me......

Nothing Ever Happens round Her

She was a girl from a one horse town, the only place for milesaround,Cutting hair in the modern style, Putting in the nine to

five,But every night it was the same old dream,On the cover of amagazine,She looked good, but it could never come true,'Cosnothing ever happens round here,Nothing ever happens roundhere;She had a boyfriend in the town, he spent his days justmessing around,With stick shifts and steering wheels, motorbikesand automobiles,And every night it was the same old thing,Meetthe boys for a couple of drinks,Shoot pool and talk about girls,And

nothing ever happens round here,Nothing ever happens roundhere;They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing, nothing everhappens round here,Nothing, no nothing, no nothing, nothing everhappens round here;One day in a local bar, she heard a movie manwas looking for a star,And everybody in the whole damn town, gotthe call to come on down,And when she walked into the room,Every heart went boom-boom-boom- Who's that girl?She's exactlywhat we're looking for,But nothing ever happens round here,nothing ever happens round here;They said nothing, no nothing,no nothing, nothing ever happens round here,Nothing, no nothing,no nothing, nothing ever happens round here;And so she took ascreen test, no doubt that she was the best,The camera fell in lovewith her,Before she knew it she was on the way to make thatdream come true;Now she's living in Hollywood, and everything islooking good,She thinks about the folks back home, and her

Quiet Revolution

There's a quiet revolution going on,Like a fire in every corner of the world,And friends that you have known for many years,Are talking with a new

light inside,Talking with a brightness in their eyes;There are quietconversations going on,As people speak about what they have seen,Andeverywhere the feeling's getting stronger,That soon there will be changein our lives,From a thousand years of looking in the sky,Something iscoming now, something is coming now;

You will believe it when, you will believe it,When the light comes shiningthrough,You will believe it when, you will believe it,When it's shiningdown on you;

There are quiet celebrations going on,So many have been waiting for solong,To see the whole world waking from a dream,And find a newdimension inside, See a revelation in our time,Something is coming now,Something is coming now;

You will believe it when, you will believe it,When the light comes shiningthrough,You will believe it when, you will believe it,When it's shiningdown on you;We must guard against the enemy,They can help us or they can betray us

in the night,Don't talk, don't talk, but this quiet revolution,Can destroythe man of darkness with the light;

You will believe it when, you will believe it,When the light comes shiningthrough,You will believe it when, you will believe it,When it's shiningdown on you;

You will believe it when, you will believe it,When the light comes shiningthrough,You will believe it when, you will believe it,When it's shining

down on you;When it's shining down on you, on you.

The Rivers of Abraham

He walked alone up the rocky road,To find the place, to read the stone,And bring the word back, from the top of the mountain,Where it would be;

The lightning struck and the thunder roared, As he lifted it up,In the nameof the Lord,And many waited for the new revelation,They are ready to go,they're going home;And the rivers of Abraham are running free,With thedawn of a waking man, and destiny,To the garden of Eden, and Paradise,We will never be broken, and we will never die;We cross the bridge to thesilver bird,And say goodbye to the ones that we love,No skies or oceans inthe place we are going,Like seeds on the wind;The time has come, weshut the door,We are ready to go, in the name of the LordA world is

waiting for a new destination,We are ready to go, we're going home;Andthe rivers of Abraham are running free,With the dawn of a waking man,and destiny,To the garden of Eden and Paradise,We will never be brokenand we will never die;And the rivers of Abraham, are running free,Withthe dawn of a waking man and destiny,To the garden of Eden andParadise,We will never be broken and we will never die;And the rivers ofAbraham are running free,We will never be broken and we will never die.

Saint Peters Gate

I was lost in the dark, and the fear was in my heart,All around me theforest and the rain,Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,I

must be getting near - Saint Peter's Gate!When I went through the door,he was standing in the hall,An old man with a beard of shining white,Hesaid "I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room,"And he tookme all the way by candlelight,And lying there on the bed, a book, blackand red,My name was written on the front in gold,And when I opened itup, there were pictures of my life,And a voice began to call from downbelow;Nobody will get through, nobody,Not even you, can escape the

Judgment Day,Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,For the ones

who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate!"Come with me" said that oldman, as he took me by the hand,"There is someone here that you haveseen before,In this room on the left, a man who did his best,To bring joyand happiness to one and all;But in that room on the right, a Dictator inlife,We've been waiting for him here, as you can tell,For all the blood he'sspilled, and for all the ones he's killed,We condemn him to eternity in Hell;Nobody will get through, Nobody,Not even you, can escape the JudgmentDay,Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,For the ones who satisfy

them at - Saint Peter's Gate!"I woke up with the dawn, there was someonein my room,A woman, like an Angel, all in white,And then she told me "Youmust run, for your time has yet to come,Go now, before they change theirminds;"And from the window I saw, a thousand or more,Bringing thatDictator to his knees,And his cries broke the sound of my footsteps on theground,As I made it to the safety of the trees;Nobody will get through,nobody,not even you, can escape the Judgment Day,Nobody will be

spared, Heaven is only there,For the ones who satisfy them at - SaintPeters Gate!Nobody will get through, Nobody,not even you, can escape

I cannot sleep tonight, I have you on my mind,Even the wind is calling your name,Though youare far away, I feel that you are near,Whispering words from over the sea,And if you wake inyour night, remember that I will be here;And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with

the dawn,I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,And like the same moon, that'sshining through my window here tonight,I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely tothe morning light.Where there is love like this, forever, for all time,I will be there, whereveryou are,And where there are hearts that live together in one soul,Nothing on earth will keepus apart,And if you're crying inside, remember that I will be here;And like the same sun that'srising on the valley with the dawn,I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,And likethe same moon that's shining through my window here tonight,I will watch in your darkness,and bring you safely to the morning light;I Love you, I love you, I love you;And if you're cryinginside, remember that I will be here;And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with thedawn,I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,And like the same moon that's shining

When I Think of You

There is something on my mind, and I'm losing concentration,Aand I feel itevery time that you are near me,I could tell you all about, your picture at

my bedside,I should call you sometime, and talk it over,'Cos I get a kickinside, and I feel a tingle too,It just comes from time to time,And it onlyhappensWhen I think of you sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wakeup, when I think of you walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when Ithink ofYou take me away to a land of mass confusion,And I don't knowwhat to say, when I am near you,I could stand here all day long, juststaring at your window,But I have so much to do, that's so important,ThenI get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too,It just comes from time to time,

And it only happensWhen I think of you sleeping, when I'm dreaming,when I wake up,When I think of you, walking, when I'm talking, when Ilook up, when I think ofYou may get the feeling that I'm dancing on theceiling,When I get a kick inside, and my head is spinning too,It just comesfrom time to time,And it only happensWhen I think of you sleeping, whenI'm dreaming, when I wake up,When I think of you, when I whisper to yourpicture, when I kiss it, when I think of youWhen I think of you, when I'mdreaming we're together, on my sofa,When I think of you, when I'm

wishing that we're kissing, when we're dancing,When I think of you.

A Womans Heart

A woman's heart is filled with passion,A woman's heart is filled with lust,Ifyou don't believe that these things happen,Could be the biggest mistake

that a man can make;A woman's night is filled with dreaming,Of theperfect man who may not be you,If we don't see what she's been missing,Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;She wants to get nearto you, don't turn her away,She wants to get through to you, she wants tosay;Give me your night, and I will show you my passion,Give me your lust,and I will drink you dry,Give me your dreams, and I will show you a lover,Give me your heart, and I will hold you close,And I will love you till the dayI die;A woman's day is filled with longing,For a little romance and

company,If we don't look or just don't listen,Could be the biggest mistakethat a man can make;A woman's heart is yours forever,She will be true, tothe one in her life,If we don't give her love and affection,Could be thebiggest mistake, that a man can make;She wants to get near to you, don'tturn her away,She wants to get through to you, she wants you to say;Giveme your night, and I will show you my passion,Give me your lust, and I willdrink you dry,Give me your dreams, and I will show you a lover,Give meyour heart, and I will hold you close,And I will love you till the day I die;

Give me your night and I will show you my passion,Give me your lust, AndI will drink you dry,Give me your dreams, and I will show you a lover,Giveme your heart, and I will hold you close,And I will love you till the day Idie;A woman's heart, a woman's heart,A woman's heart is filled withpassion,A woman's heart is filled with lust,A woman's heart is filled withdreaming,A woman's heart is yours forever.

You Look Beautiful

You're looking good, I Haven't seen youfor a long time,How've you been? I like the way you have your hair,But

something has changed,And I can see a woman in your eyes, and in yoursmile;Remember when we'd always be together,And we believed this lovewould never die,And ever since then,I've often wondered how I'd feel if weshould meet again;Well, you look beautiful, you look wonderful,You're likean angel heaven sent to me,You look beautiful, you look wonderful,I'vegot a feeling this was meant to be,When we broke apart, we both set offto find the world,And face the storms of life, I thought I heard you calling,When your ship hit the rocks,And here we are survivors from the sea, just

you and me, out on the beach,If you have time, lets get a cup of coffee,And talk about all the feelings that we share,Cos when there's still love,

You know it from the moment that you see those eyes again;And you lookbeautiful, you look wonderful,You're like an angel heaven sent to me,Youlook beautiful, you look wonderful,I've got a feeling this was meant to be;

Yes I know it this was meant to be,You look wonderful,Now I know it, thiswas meant to be;
