If you’re lonely in the black of night,
if you call me, I’ll be there.
I was falling, you helped me get it right,
and I thank you, yes, I thank you.
 
And I pray for the sign,
and it won’t be too late.
 
If you just come down
I can look you in the eye,
I can tell you that I love you,
and my love will never die.
And it’s time that you know
just how far I mean to go.
 
We fly rings around the moon (repeat)
 
Come tomorrow when the candle burns,
and I wake up by your side.
All my sorrow, you made it disappear,
and I thank you, yes, I thank you.
 
And I lay down my life,
and I won’t be alone.
 
If you just take time
and be sure of who you are.
We can take it up to heaven,
we can walk amongst the stars.
And I know if you stay
I will never turn away.
 
We fly rings around the moon (repeat)
 
And I lay down my life,
and it won’t be too late.
If you just take time

 Maybe you don’t know me
anymore than I know you
and I wouldn’t blame you if
you walked away.
      
I been watching you all evening
with the teardrops in your eyes
and it touches me much more
than I can say.
      
You know I’d hate to think that someone
could have hurt someone like you.
And if I was him,
I’d be right by your side.
 
Lay your troubles on my shoulders,
put your worries in my pocket,
rest your love on me awhile.
      
Lay your troubles on my shoulder,
put your worries in my pocket,
rest your love on me awhile.
 
Saw you in the corner
on the moment I walked in
saw your lonely face
across the room.
 
No, I won’t forget it.
And the way it might have been.
Why did you have to leave
so soon.
 
You know I’d hate to think that someone
could have loved you more than me.
And at times like this
I’d be right by your side.
 
Lay your troubles on my shoulders,
put your worries in my pocket,
rest your love on me awhile.
      
Lay your troubles on my shoulders,
put your worries in my pocket,
rest your love on me awhile.
 
How long must I wait
for the last train to be here?
And the last chance to know.
Get to think that I was born too soon.
 
How long, honey,
when the loving don’t come?
I was there when you left me.
Just didn’t know how to begin.
 
Lay your troubles on my shoulders,
put your worries in my pocket,
rest your love on me awhile.
      
Lay your troubles on my shoulders,
put your worries in my pocket,
rest your love on me awhile.

I never really want to be alone.
I had a woman once in my life
but now she’s flown.
Every night I keep seeing her face.

I never really broke her heart.
She was a part of me.
But that’s the way it was.
Now we live separately.

When will you walk through this door, babe?
When you left I fell to pieces.
But now I feel as good as if I were dead.

I’ll keep remembering
all my life,
remembering
when you were my wife.

Remembering
all my life.
And I’m facing a life
that I must go through
remembering.

I first set my eyes on you
one cold February.
You made me go out of my way
to make me feel fine.

Oh, but when will you walk through this door, babe?
When you left I fell to pieces.
Now I feel as good as good as if I were dead.

I’ll keep remembering
all my life,
remembering
when you were my wife.

Remembering
all my life.
And I’m facing a life
that I must go through
remembering.

Watching every day go by,
living in a foolish game,
Just the way I feel today
living my life without you.
 
Never hear a single word,
living in a lullaby,
praying every tear I cry,
living my life without you.
 
And everywhere you go I fly
(I love you with a special feeling).
And, darling, till the day I die
(baby never stop believing).
 
I’ll be reaching out, ooh.
I’ll be reaching out, ah, ah….
Reaching out
(there’s a woman going through me).
I’ll be reaching out
( got a chance to hold you to me ).
Ah..
Everything is lonely and I need you
living my life forever,
forever.
 
Watching every day go by,
living on the one I love,
what I got is not enough
living my life without you.
 
And I believe in yesterday
(yesterday was once tomorrow).
With love, with love wide open every way
(baby you’re the light I follow).
 
I’ll be reaching out, ooh.
I’ll be reaching out, ah.
Reaching out
(there’s a woman going through me).
I’ll be reaching out

Everything is lonely and I need you
Living my life forever.

Sunday morning, it’s a quarter to five,
you keep on talking like your love is a prize.
Bird in flight, spreading her wings,
sitting pretty in a city of sin.

I don’t mind, adventure with a stranger.
Trouble deep at the scene of the crime.
Testify that I’m not superstitious.
It’s tough enough to find out why you.

Radiate,
you bait your love with money.
Celebrate
a body to behold.
Generate
a state of wild emotion.
Don’t waste your money,
my love is not for sale.

Funny faces in the shadows of night.
Pain and pleasure is your only disguise.
Radiate,
your fate’s on the fire.
Stay awake,
love is a lie.

In the street, life is your creation.
Trouble deep if you wake up on your own.
I’m a slave to sweet investigation.
It’s tough enough to find out why you.

Radiate,
you bait your love with money.
Celebrate
a body to behold.
Generate
a state of wild emotion.
Don’t waste your money,
my love is not for sale.

Daar sta je dan aan de rand van de nacht,
Je leven is een zooi, niemand bergrijpt je.
Je zou willen dat je schreeuwen kon.
Maar niemand die luistert, niemand die luistert !
En je ziet wat voor je ligt.
Van alle kanten slaan de deuren dicht !

Ik wist niet wat ik deed.
Ik deed net als de rest.
Het lot gooit met de dobbelsteen.
En je toekomst is voor goed verpest.

Radeloos, als je wakker schrikt en je bijna stikt.
Zo radeloos, als je vloeken moet want het leven doet alleen maar pijn.
Wie wist dat de wereld zo eenzaam kon zijn.

Weet je nog die stuntelige vrijpartij ?
De eerste keer, en ik was nog net zo groen als zij.
Mis gegokt en ineens kun geen kant meer uit.
Nu draait het om dat ene besluit.
Trouw je met haar, hou je van haar, hou je van haar ?

Radeloos, met een schuldgevoel
Door die klote boel.
Zo radeloos, met je stomme kop zit je in het slop.
Je voelt je klein .
Je bent veel te jong om volwassen te zijn.
Radeloos, want je hoofd zit vol en dat maak je dol.
Radeloos, niemand heeft nog tijd maar je moet het kwijt.
En dat doet pijn, je ziet dat je vrienden je vrienden niet zijn.

Als je ziet wat voor je ligt.
Van alle kanten slaan de deuren dicht.
Ik dacht hij snapt het wel.
Of is ie als de rest?
Het lot gooit met een dobbelsteen
En je toekomst is voorgoed verpest.

Radeloos, want je hooft zit vol en dat maakt je dol.
Radeloos, niemand heeft nog tijd maar je moet het kwijt.
En dat doet pijn, je ziet dat je vrienden je vrienden niet zijn.
Radeloos, als je wakker schrikt en je bijna stikt.
Zo radeloos, van de weg geraakt en je toekomst maakt je doodsbenauwd
Je trouwt met een meid die niet eens van je houdt
Waarom moet je boeten voor een kleine fout?
Wat radeloos maakt, het laat mensen koud

It’s not worth one night on earth,

I won’t know whose lips you’re kissing,
baby I know.
You don’t know what you have done,
baby I know, baby don’t go.
You don’t know what you are missing,
baby, and so…

there’s not a sacrifice too strong
I’ve been alone for far too long.
I’d be a fool to fail, I follow you.
You must believe.

Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean.
A kiss on the wind goes straight to the heart.
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

Please believe me, I would sell my soul for you.
It’s not too late.
And we can turn back the time.

Baby I know
I lay down with you in dreams.
Baby I know, baby don’t go.
I was driven by this vision,
baby, and so…
if I could testify to you
then I could prove my aim is true,
if I am guilty or I’m innocent,
you must believe.

Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean .
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (baby believe).
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

You know I’m only human, so what am I supposed to say.
(Of) course I’m gonna miss you and curse the day you went away.
What I would surrender, if I could make you turn around.
The world we’ve got together, forever is on solid ground.

Oooh, baby don’t go.
Baby don’t go.
Baby don’t go.
Baby.
You’re part of every dream
before the dawn.
You must believe.

Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean.
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart (make her believe).
Promise the earth
with tears of emotion
if fate is a force that tears you apart.

Baby believe.
Promise the earth.
Give her the ocean.
A kiss on the wind, goes straight to the heart.

Je vis des jours sans noms quand ta voix me blesse
Ou si je crois que ton coeur me laisse
J’ai des mots
Incapable de te dire si j’ai froid ou chaud

J’ai cru renaître et mourir cent fois

Vivre pour toi vivre pour toi

Si je suis sûre d’être aimée
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
Promets-moi aussi d’être là pour toujours

Si tu partages mes yeux mon coeur mes mains

Vivre pour toi vivre pour toi

Moi je veux bien ce qui te plaît
Si je suis sûre d’être aimée
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
Promets-moi le ciel et la terre
