A Place in the Sun
03:16
|
|||
Waking up in the early morning
To sail away on a tidal wave
But there’s so much I want to do
And there’s so much I want to see
We could travel the world, sweet darling
We’d be starting a whole new life
For as long as I am with you
Then you know there is nothing to fear
I’m going to find us a place in the sun
We’ll dream our dreams and forget about tomorrow
Nothing will be the same
The best of all is yet to come
We’ll spend the rest of our days in a place in the sun
A place in the sun
We could climb up the social ladder
And pretend that we’d be all right
But there’s so much more to be done
And there’s so much to be seen
If you say, “Better safe than sorry”
“Think again” will be my reply
For as long as I am with you
Then you know there is nothing to fear
I’m going to find us a place in the sun
We’ll dream our dreams and forget about tomorrow
Nothing will be the same
The best of all is yet to come
We’ll spend the rest of our days in a place in the sun
A place in the sun
Confusion is making me ill
I’d much rather live like the fool on the hill
And take one day at a time at my own pace
My thoughts are drifting away
I need more time, I’m sorry to say
I’ve lost the will to keep up with this rat race
I’m going to find us a place in the sun
We’ll dream our dreams and forget about tomorrow
Nothing will be the same
The best of all is yet to come
We’ll spend the rest of our days in a place in the sun
A place in the sun
A place in the sun
A place in the sun

Come Along
02:49
|

Tell me where you’re going
Can I come along
Tell me, can I go there too
What’s your destination
Somewhere far away
Here’s your chance to start anew
I don’t care what you
Say you’re running from
What you’ve seen or where you’ve been
If you need some kind of shelter
Or a place to call your home
Why don’t you come along
Why don’t you come along with me
What’s your situation
Have you got the blues
Tell me what is on your mind
Keep on moving forward
Leave it all behind
Let’s not waste our precious time
I don’t care what you
Say you’re running from
What you’ve seen or where you’ve been
If you need some kind of shelter
Or a place to call your home
Why don’t you come along
Why don’t you come along with me
I don’t care what you
Say you’re running from
What you’ve seen or where you’ve been
If you need some kind of shelter
Or a place to call your home
Why don’t you come along
Why don’t you come along with me
Why don’t you come along
Why don’t you come along with me

Childhood Memories
02:55
|

When we talk of childhood memories
So many different things come to mind
Days of sorrow, days of happiness
And days that have changed my whole life
And as we speak
Well, it all comes back to me
You and I running in the fields
Careless and free
Chasing a dream
Time means nothing when you’re playing games
Or having fun outside in the snow
And in your mind you can do anything
Or travel anywhere you want to go
And as we speak
Well, it all comes back to me
You and I swimming in the sea
Careless and free
Just living the dream
As time goes by, you realise that you get older
And all your memories are part of who you are
But don’t forget that every day is a brand new start
So let us talk of childhood memories
And share all the stories we know
Because every time I’m reminded of you
I know that I will never walk alone

Tell It Like It Is
02:21
|
|||
How can you go on if the world has let you down
How can you be strong and then turn your life around
So get up and get back on your feet now
And I’m sure that you’ll make it somehow
Anytime you need me
I’ll tell it like it is
Why do you believe that the joke’s always on you
Even if you try to convince me that it’s true
I can sense a chip on your shoulder
Causing pain and making you older
But your imagination
Won’t tell it like it is
Any fool can do you harm
And make you feel so small
You’ve got to keep your head up high
Don’t go around pretending
You can’t feel at all, can’t feel at all
Walking unafraid is the next step in your life
All the heavy chains are creations of your mind
So get up and get back on your feet now
And I’m sure that you’ll make it somehow
Anytime you need me
I’ll tell it like it is
Anytime you need me
Anytime you need me
Anytime you need me
I’ll tell it like it is
I’ll tell it like it is
I’ll tell it like it is

Safe and Sound
03:48
|
|||
Please don’t point the finger at me
Please do not make me cry
I’ve had such a wretched life, yes
But it’s not yet time to die
I’d rather go and make sure
My house is built on solid ground
And should a stormy wind blow
I’ll be standing where I’m standing now
What about you then
What about you then
Is there anywhere you’d rather be
When your house is falling down
Is there any place you’d rather stay
When the walls are tumbling down
Falling down upon your pretty little feet
Falling down upon your pretty little feet
It’s so easy to be spiteful
So easy to be cruel
To make fun of other people
Who are doing worse than you
But have you tried to show love
To comfort those who need you most
Or have you spent your whole life
Trying to vanish like a ghost
What about you now
What about you now
Is there anywhere you’d rather be
When your house is falling down
Is there any place you’d rather stay
When the walls are tumbling down
Falling down upon your pretty little feet
Falling down upon your pretty little feet
Is there anything you want to say
Now that you can’t be safe and sound
Is there anything you’d wish you had done
Now that your house has fallen down
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet
Fallen down upon your pretty little feet

Woman of My Dreams
03:39
|
|||
Woman of my dreams
You’re so close to me
And yet you seem so far away
So very distant like a cloud in the sky
Woman of my dreams
I have heard you say
The very words I’ve longed to hear
And if tomorrow never comes, never mind
Woman of my dreams
You mean more to me
Than any living thing on Earth
No one could ever take your place in my life
And if you say
Our love will never die or fade away
I might just believe you
Because in your smile
I find the spark that keeps the flame alive
Girl, you amaze me
Had I but world
World enough and time
I don’t think I could ever let go of you
I can’t explain
the way you make me feel when you’re around
Girl, you’re amazing
Woman of my dreams
Woman of my dreams
Woman of my dreams
Woman of my dreams

We Suffer in Silence
03:09
|
|||
Lying in my bed
Looking out the window
Wishing I was anywhere else now
Anywhere else in the world but here
Trying to forget
I just want to let go
Wake up to the sound of you saying
“Everything’s just a dream anyway”
This is so strange
We don’t even talk anymore
I don’t understand why
We suffer in silence
How can you pretend
That you don’t even know me
How can we go on like we’re strangers
Meeting for the very first time in our lives
I am going to make
A silent revolution
Show you that I’m dying to hold you
Having you here in my arms every day
This is so strange
We don’t even talk anymore
I don’t understand why
We suffer in silence
How can you say
Nothing’s going to be like before
Are we merely stranded on this desert island
Are you sad to behold
That the clouds have gathered around your soul
And left you with an emptiness inside
Isn’t it strange
That we don’t even talk anymore
I don’t understand why
We suffer in silence
How can you say
Nothing’s going to be like before
Are we merely stranded on this desert island
Are you sad to behold
That the clouds have gathered around your soul
And left you with an emptiness inside

Lie to Me
03:32
|
|||
Lie to me
If that’s all you can do
But don’t say it’s over
Don’t say it’s over
Save your tears
Because I don’t believe it’s true
When you say we’re through now
It can’t be over
You need someone you can turn to
Someone always by your side
I could put my arms around you
Make you safe in the night
Talk to me
That’s the least you can do
When you say it’s over
I know it’s over
Give me time
There’s no need to walk away
Now you need me
more than ever
You need someone you can turn to
Someone always by your side
I could put my arms around you
Make you safe in the night
All the things I’d like to tell you
Make no difference anymore
When you’ve gone, I’ll know it’s over
When you’ve walked out the door
I look for you
But you’re gone forever
Lie to me, lie to me
Lie to me, lie to me
You need someone you can turn to
Someone always by your side
I could put my arms around you
Make you safe in the night
All the things I’d like to tell you
Make no difference anymore
When you’ve gone, I’ll know it’s over
When you’ve walked out the door

Wake, wake from your sleep
We’re in this together
We’re just you and me
And when the morning comes
We will up with the sun
Making our getaway
We’ll leave at the first light of day
Try, try to be brave
Nothing can stop you
Or get in your way
And when the church bells ring
A choir of angels will sing
Heaven will celebrate
Commending the vows we will make
You and I
Are just like Romeo and Juliet
In a different time
In a different world
We’ll skip the tragic ending
And hold onto the part when boy meets girl
Why, why do you say
“Love me or leave me
But don’t make me stay”
Darling, you know too well
You’ve got me under your spell
I want to be where you are
Nothing can tear us apart
You and I
Are just like Romeo and Juliet
In a different time
In a different world
But we’ll skip the tragic ending
And hold onto the part when boy meets girl
You and I
Are just like Romeo and Juliet
In a different time
In a different world
But we’ll skip the tragic ending
And hold onto the part when boy meets girl

Please, Shine a Light
03:30
|
|||
Mother, I need you
I need you to be strong
You’ve been standing in the shadows
All alone for too long
I want you, I need you
I want you to come out
And then step into the sunlight
And joke and dance around
Everybody wants to hear you say
That you’re done with the games they play
Stand up for yourself and be brave
You’ve got to let it go
You’ve got to let it go
So won’t you please, shine a light
And let it all out
And may the songs in your heart
Make a beautiful sound
And if the sun in the sky
Will keep shining on you
You’ll see your sorrows and your worries
Gently slide out of view
Brother, you know me
You’ve been there all my life
Through the good times and the bad times
You’ve been standing by my side
A shoulder to cry on
A friend when I’m in need
You’re the centre of the circle
If you know what I mean
Everybody wants to see you smile
Everybody wants to see you fly
Stand up for yourself and be brave
You’ve got to give it time
You’ve got to give it time
So won’t you please, shine a light
And let it all out
And may the songs in your heart
Make a beautiful sound
And if the sun in the sky
Will keep shining on you
You’ll see your sorrows and your worries
Gently slide out of view
Father, you told me
Always to be true
Whenever I’m down
I can count on you
Life is a play and the world is our stage
Will we ever learn from our past mistakes
Please, shine a light.
Yeah, please, shine a light
So won’t you please, shine a light
And let it all out
And may the songs in your heart
Make a beautiful sound
And if the sun in the sky
Will keep shining on you
You’ll see your sorrows and your worries
Gently slide out of view
You’ll see them slide out of view

Stay
04:48
|
|||
What am I to do
Well, you say that you don’t need me
But you don’t know how to leave me
All alone
Because I’ll be on my own
I’ll be on my own
When you’re long gone
What am I to you
At first, you toy with my affection
Then expose me to rejection
What are you
Tell me what you’ll do
Tell me what you’ll do
When I’m long gone
You have no right to shut me out
So why not make the best of it
Stay, stay with me tonight
May our souls entwine
And get much closer
Just say, say you will be mine
Say you’ll let me dive into your ocean
Beep bop diddly do
Well, your words are somewhat scary
But your eyes are somehow daring
And it’s true
Please, don’t be so cruel
Who can be that cruel
In the long run
Who am I to you
An emotional pretender
With a silly boy’s agenda
An illusion of what you need
Do you know what you need
Because I’m all yours
You have no right to shut me out
So why not make the best of it
Stay, stay with me tonight
May our souls entwine
And get much closer
Just say, say you will be mine
Say you’ll let me dive into your ocean
Stay, stay with me tonight
May our souls entwine
And get much closer
Just say, say you will be mine
Say you’ll let me dive into your ocean
