I ... I will learn to live before I die will learn to love and learn to try not to give it all away (give it all away) She ... she may be the one that′s meant for me or for the man that I used to be (used to be) til′ I gave it all away (gave it all away [x2])
[Chorus] why hy hy I lay my heart down on the floor I showed you love, you wanted more re re but I gave it all away (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry)
you taught me to see the better truth about yourself but about me too (about me too) I was stupid over you what could I do
[Chorus] why hy hy I lay my heart down on the floor I showed you love, you wanted more re re but I gave it all away (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry)
some people wait a lifetime for a chance like this I′ve waited enough baby, no, I won′t let you go I′m sick of tears and being fierce
(I won′t let go of you, I won′t let go of you, of you, of you [x2])
[Chorus] why hy hy I lay my heart down on the floor I showed you love, you wanted more re re but I gave it all away (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry)
there′s nothing left to take (cry ry ry ry cry ry ry ry ry)
Looking for you, lost in my emptiness When the night makes me weary, cold and lonely Looking for ecstasy to make me live again A supernatural feeling when you hold me Every time you′re here beside me There is thunder, there is lightning I feel the earth move and it′s a different story All the power, the heaven and the glory
It′s almost like a mystical experience To feel I′m born again when you come near me To reach the stars above me the minute that you love me Oh, it′s like a mystical experience Almost like a mystical experience To rise with every step as you come near me And when I′m closer to you, your kisses halleluyah Take me to a mystical experience
Won′t you please hurry back now that I need you so To drive away all my sorrow and to guide me Bring the sound of your happiness into my loneliness To exorcise all the demons that live inside of me Life without you′s like a stranger Full of shadows, full of danger And when you′re with me the world is full of passion And when you touch me a magical reaction
"Weeks, day, hours, minutes (′till I′ll be home)."
A kiss on the cheek in the old town park Carved your name in the shape of a heart Walked together, hand in hand I didn′t feel the rain
And there′s a picture, girl That hangs inside my mind And there′s a letter, girl Saying I′m doing fine And there′s a picture, girl That hangs inside my mind And there′s a letter, girl Saying I′m doing fine
And I′m coming home now It′s been so long now Gonna get there somehow Praying you′ll be there And I′m coming home now it′s been so long now Gonna get there somehow Praying you′ll be there
"Weeks, days (′till I′ll be home)".
Children on the street still playing their games Smiles on their faces have never changed I hope it′s all the same I didn′t leave in vain
And there′s a picture, girl That hangs inside my mind And there′s a letter, girl Saying I′m doing fine And there′s a picture, girl That hangs inside my mind And there′s a letter, girl Saying I′m doing fine (on my way...)
And I′m coming home now It′s been so long now Gonna get there somehow Praying you′ll be there Coming home now It′s been so long now Gonna get there somehow And this is where I′ll stay...
(Dear the close ones I remember seeing Here in my heart and overseas I feel you close and not so far Soon we′ll be together And this time, it′s forever)
Coming home now Been so long now Gonna get there somehow Praying you′ll be there...
(Arrican voices) Let′s not forget this place Let′s not neglect the our race Let unity become Life on earth be one
So let me take your hand We are but grains of sand Born throught the winds of time Given a special sign
So let′s take a stand and look around us now, people So let′s take a stand and look around us now, people...
Eeyeah--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh (and the world is turning)--oh, by--yah To a different beat Eayeh--oh, eayeh--oh, eayeh (and the world is turning)--oh, by yah (to a different beat)
Humanity′s lost face Let′s understand its grace Each day one at a time Each life including mine
So let′s take a stand and look around us now, people oh, people oh people!
CHORUS
I′ve seen the rain, fall in Africa I′ve touched to snow of Alaska (Oh tell me now...) I′ve felt the mists of Niagara Now I believe... In you..
repeat CHORUS twice
How far we′ve come and how far to go rain does not fall on one roof alone..(to a different beat)..
I′ve heard it before And you′re telling me no, and I′m crazy We′re talking too fast We′ve just got to take it nice and slow Sit back let it flow now
Don′t be misunderstood When baby, maybe, you know...
We′re gonna be so good Like I knew we would Like only we could Come on and hear me now Gonna be so good Cos it′s understood Like I knew we should So good now, baby...
No matter the cost When we′re out on the town Getting lazy I′ll show you who′s boss We′re just gonna take it all away No matter what they say now
Be so good Be so good now
CHORUS
So good Cos it′s understood You know we′re good...
Rain on the window covers the trace Of all the tears that I′ve had to waste And now I′m missing you so And I won′t let you go away Stain on the desktop where coffee cups lay And memories of you forever will stay And the scent of your perfume And the smile on your face will remain...
And I never gave up hope when things got me down But I just bit on my lip and my face began to frown Cos that was just my pride and I′ve nothing else to hide And now the way is clear and all I want to say is..
All of my life the doors have been closed now And all of my dreams have been locked up inside But you came along and captured my heart, girl You′re the key to my life Yeah
Year after year, was blaming myself (blaming myself..) For what I′d done, just thought of myself I know that you′ll understand (you′ll understand...) This was all my own fault, don′t go away..
And I never gave up hope when things got me down But I just bit on my lip And my face began to frown Cos that was just my pride and I′ve nothing left to hide And now the way is clear and all I want to say is...
CHORUS
Girl you know that I feel for you There ain′t nothing that I wouldn′t do Stop the thunder and the pouring rain You′re the one that′s going to stop the pain Girl you know that I feel for you There ain′t nothing that I wouldn′t do Stop the thunder and the pouring rain Listen to me can′t you hear what I say...
I was lost and alone Trying to grow, making my way down that long winding road Had no reason, no rhyme Like a song out of time And there you were, standing in front of my eyes
How could I be such a fool To let go of love and break all the rules Girl when you walked out that door left a hole in my heart And now I know for sure
You′re the air that I breathe Girl you′re all that I need And I wanna thank you, lady You′re the words that I read You′re the light that I see And your love is all that I need
I was searching in vain Playing a game Had no-one else but myself left to blame You came into my world No diamonds or pearls Could ever replace what you gave to me girl
Just like a castle of sand Girl, I almost let love slip right out of my hands And just like a flower needs rain I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain
CHORUS X 2
You′re all that I need, girl You′re the air that I breathe, yeah And I want to thank you (and I want to thank you, lady)
You′re the words that I read, girl You′re love is all I need, yeah And I want to thank you (and I want to thank you, lady)
You′re all that I need, girl You′re the air that I breathe, yeah And I want to thank you.. (to fade)
Smile, an everlasting smile A smile can bring you near to me Don′t ever let me find you wrong Cause that would bring a tear to me This world has lost it′s glory Lets start a brand new story Now my love You think that I don′t even mean A single word I say...
It′s only words And words are all I have To take your heart away
Talk, in everlasting words And dedicate them all, to me And I will give you all my life I′m here if you should call to me You think that I don′t even mean a single word I say...
CHORUS, repeat
Da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da
This world has lost it′s glory Let′s start a brand new story Now, my love You think that I don′t even mean a single word I say...
