    Out of my way, I’m in love today
And I’m feeling like I’m new
I never loved any other face
And baby feeling like I do

I’m not the greatest love in the world
I’m not a new creation
I’m a little bit short of a miracle
But I know

Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cross?
The spirit knows ways
You keep me alive
Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cried?
Lighten my days
I save it for you
I save it for you

Baby, don’t you know
I’m on a journey of love and it’s you that I’m after
Heat the cold outside
Love has no meaning when you are alone
Baby, I’m coming home
Save it for love and baby I’ll need you

At the top of the stairs there’s a warmer light
I’ve got a love you’ve never known
After we’re through all your love awaits
And I’ll save you like a stone

I’m not the only star in the sky
I’ve never been with you near me
I’m a little bit short of a miracle
But I know

Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cross?
Lighten my days
I save it for you
I save it for you

Baby, don’t you know
I’m on a journey of love and it’s you that I’m after
Heat the cold outside
Love has no meaning when you are alone
Baby, I’m coming home

Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cross?
The spirit knows ways
You keep me alive
Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cried?
Lighten my days
I save it for you

Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cross?
The spirit knows ways
You keep me alive
Don’t you know how many oceans and rivers I cried?
Lighten my days

I save it for you

It happened in the middle of the night,
when I thought I had control.
Didn’t want to be the one to fight,
didn’t want to lose my soul.

I was up for something more.
Never thought I’d get it started.
Paralyzed, polarized, hung on every word.

I’m in love with the child inside.
I don’t have a right to follow you
or have a license to get closer.

A love that won’t be denied.
For you are something like I’ve never seen.
I’m a man whose heart is crying.

Just another one of my obsessions.
You don’t want to be a special toy.
I never be the one to hurt you.
Like every other girl and boy.

Just another little indiscretion.
Another game that you want to try.
You can never be unfaithful
if you gotta love somebody.

Ooh ooh…

Want to make your mountains high.
Want to take your valley low.
There’s a moral to my story.
Let me in and close the door
until the morning light.
What I’d give to live inside you.
Make me wait,
we separate but only to return.

Whisper and I’ll be there.
I don’t want you to beg me to stop.
I just want to drown in your desire.

Love is for those who dare.
All the cream is rising to the top.
And it’s the love you save from dying.

Ah
Just another one of my obsessions.
Something I could never find.
It’s the kind of love that makes your heart
feel obsessed with mine.

Any battle for the one possession.
Another game that you want to try.
You can never be unfaithful
if you gotta love somebody.

Oooh…

Just another one of my obsessions.
You don’t want to be a special toy.
I never be the one to hurt you.
Like every other girl and boy.
Just another little indiscretion.
Another game that you want to try.
You can never be unfaithful
if you gotta love somebody.

Oooh…

Just another one of my obsessions…

 If tears keep flooding your eyes
And you don’t know the reason why
If thoughts keep coming to you
And you don’t know just what to do

And listen to me now
And I will tell you why

You know you’ve got to live your whole life through
You know you got to live and know just what to do

And if we should meet again
No matter how where or when
Say the words you wanted to say
But in only your special way

Tell me you love me
And not just my disguise

You know you’ve got to live your whole life through
You know you got to live and know just what to do

You know you’ve got to live your whole life through
You know you got to live and know just what to do

 They told me love don’t last forever.
Now I understand.
To think that only yesterday
you held me in your hands
and I became a woman
and you became the world to me.

I was lost no dream to high.
No star too far apart.
Your carpet ride holding me.
You led me to believe that I was yours, yours.

I swallowed every lie.
And you will cry when I’m away
on your own like me
when I was yours.

I could live my life without you, that is not enough.
I can’t lie awake believing you don’t want my love.
Alone in my desire.
And still the fire burns, my friend.

I was there. I loved you well.
Though we are far apart I love you still.
I relive the very moment when you called me yours, yours.

Don’t let me die inside.
Save me from the memories, the hours that I cried.
Say to me that I am yours, yours, mine eternity.
And you will cry when I’m away
on your own like me
when I was yours.

Yours, yours don’t let me die inside .
Save me from the memories, the hours that I cried.
Say to me that I am yours yours for eternity.
And you will cry when I’m away.
The hours that I cry.
Say to me that I am yours, yours.

Don’t let me die inside…

    In the spring, a young man’s fancy likely turns
to what he’s been thinking of.
He’s thinking of love.

In the spring, a young man’s heart’s begins to sing,
Thinking of wedding rings.
He’s thinking of love.

The chilly wintery winds, they blow.
In his heart, he’s warm.
And true romance begins to grow.
A love is born.

In the spring, a young man’s fancy

    Wish I had the power inside me.
Maybe I could go so far.
I’m looking for a change of scene.
I wouldn’t be a bad boy.

 

Travel on a list of themes,
in a destination of fun.
Country to country.
I will appear in your dreams.
No one to call you and no one to phone.
Wondering how I’ve been to places unknown.
When the supernatural comes into play.
Something to hear, something to say.

I own the night and the morning will come.
Love only makes me a slave.
All over the world -run wild, run free.
All the young love is waiting for me.
All the young love.
All the young love.
All the young love.

Making love a little.
Love some more.
Projected by your bedroom eyes.
I’m listening to you from bed.
I wouldn’t have to be so lonely.
Come into your bedroom on a mission.
A vision you can take so far.
Country to country.
I will give you ideas.
Make no mistake, this is just my disguise.
And I’ve no intention of making you cry.
I’m supernatural, don’t be afraid.
Show you the fire.
Show you the way.

I own the night and the morning will come.
Love only makes me a slave.
All over the world -run wild, run free.
All the young love is waiting for me.
All the young love.
All the young love.
All the young love.

Only young love.
All the young love.
Only young love.
All the young love.
Only young love.

    Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart.
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you’re young at heart.
 
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.
And life gets more exciting with each passing day.
And love is either in your heart, or on it’s way.
 
Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart.
For as rich as you are, it’s much better by far
To be young at heart.
 
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.
 
And if you should survive to 105,
Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive!
And here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart.

    You’re nobody till somebody loves you
You’re nobody till somebody cares
You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold
But gold won’t bring you happiness,

The world still is the same
You’ll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You’re nobody till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love.

Every single word has been spoken;
it’s much too late to change your ways.
Far too many vows have been broken;
you can’t expect a soul to stay.

You think that you can stand and lie;
it makes me laugh. You’ve got no friends;
it took a thousand years to find out why.
You’ll never see my face again.

You know that you’ve been left before this night;
it’s come my turn to make it over.
I wish that everything was coloured white.
I wish that I could be a rover.

You think that you can stand and lie;
it makes me laugh. You’ve got no friends;
it took a thousand years to find out why.
You’ll never see my face again.

  When I call you up
Your line’s engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lost my mind
If you won’t see me
You won’t see me

I don’t know why
You should want to hide
But I can’t get through
My hands are tied
I won’t want to stay
I don’t gave much to say
But I can’t turn away
And you won’t see me
You won’t see me

Time after time
You refuse to even listen
I wouldn’t mind
If I knew what I was missing
Though the days are few
They’re filled with tears
And since I lost you
It feels like years
Yes, it seems so long
Girl, since you’ve been gone
And I just can’t go on
If you won’t see me
You won’t see me

I find out everybody knows that you’ve been using me,
I’m surprised you let me stay around you.
One day I’m gonna lift the cover and look inside your heart,
we gotta level before we go and tear this love apart.

There’s no fight you can’t fight this battle of love with me,
you win again,
so little time, we do nothing but compete.
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through,
you win again,
some never try but if anybody can, we can,
and I’ll be, I’ll be following you.

Oh girl, oh girl
Oh babe, I shake you from now on,
I’m gonna break down your defenses one by one,
I’m gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide,
nobody stops this body from taking you.
You better be there, I swear,
I’m gonna be there one day when you fall,
I can never let you cast aside the greatest love of all.

I kneel before your touch.

You stepped (you stepped) into my life and I’m, oh, so happy.

Giving you an ultimatum.
Try to figure out why you
act the way you do, avoiding me,
and trying to keep your distance.

Saw your image in a photograph.
Couldn’t cry so I had to laugh.
And the jealousy that I felt inside
gave way to pure frustration.

And you don’t fool me with your sexy innuendos
and all the secrets you hide.
You find adventure when you’re sleeping
in a brave new world.

But you don’t see me anymore (no, you don’t)
I stand alone (no, you don’t)
Your head is full of illusions.
Your heart is stone.

But you don’t say us anymore (no, you don’t)
And the light is gone (no, you don’t)
No, you don’t say us anymore, anymore.
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us).

Like the devil in the deep blue sea,
gotta have you and must be free .
And all you do is torture me
and question what I stand for.

I’m a victim of circumstance,
just like in modern romance.
And in my situation we go
straight to a hotel room.

And we take our chances.
And when I met you,
you were standing in the moonlight
and your defences were down.

I took advantage of a golden opportunity,
but you don’t see me anymore (no, you don’t)
I stand alone (no, you don’t)
Your head is full of illusions.

Your heart is stone.
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us)
Soon, when the night is young,
I’ll be old and gone.
All because I’m down
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us).

And you don’t fool me with your sexy innuendos
and all the secrets you hide.
You find adventure when you’re sleeping
in a brave new world

But you don’t see me anymore (no, you don’t)
I stand alone (no, you don’t)
Your head is full of illusions.
Your heart is stone.
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us).

Come, hold me like before
Do the things you need to do
What I asked before
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us )

But you don’t see me anymore (no you don’t )
I stand alone (no you don’t )
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(You don’t say us, you don’t say us )

Come, hold me like before
Do the things you used to do
What I asked before.

We can talk it over.
You are alone like me.
I could feel when you arrived
There was nothing in your eyes,
In your emotions.

Never be another, for I believe in you.
Can there be trouble in the night?
Am I fighting for the right
of your devotion?

Don’t take the lies that you heard.
They don’t mean a word.
You are my love.
I just can’t let go of you.
That my love won’t ever do
just like before.

You are my love.
Far beyond all space and time.
Heaven let me call you mine.
So if you wanna be stay with me.
I don’t wanna be a shoulder you can cry on.
Only make it like we were.
We can ride on the stormy weather.
There forever on earth.

You are my love.
I just can’t let go of you.
Born to be in all you do.
You are my destiny all of me.

We can be an island ,
an island worlds away,
where love is written in the sand
and the stars take command
of our emotions.
This is my message I cry.
I won’t let it die.

You are my love.
I just can’t let go of you.
Born to be in all you do.
You are my destiny, stay with me.

You are my love.
I just can’t let go of you.
Born to be in all you do.
Just like before.

You are my love.
Far beyond all space and time.
Heaven let me call you mine.
You are my destiny.

You are my love…
