Transcript by Luis Alberto Gonzales


Young but not afraid
I was hanging on the life you gave me
I fell, lost in your heart
I’m in there still
And I believe in time
That you and I would rule the world
I pray for you while you were praying for another

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dreams or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

A heart without a home
A fire in the night still burning
So when a child in the night
Too scared to see
And I believe in you
This kind of love will never die
I die for you while you were dying for another

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dream or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

Why but somehow you were
Make my lonely nights like heaven on Earth
This love would find a way
When love’s gone, take a light away

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dream or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

In the heat of the night
You’d be there lying in the heart of a love so right
Love could be a million dream or lies
If we don’t love anymore
I live and wonder what I never knew
I get too lonely to be loving you

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago

Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor the earth sustain:
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
Stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ

Though what can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give him
I would give my heart

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago

In the morning when the moon is at its rest,
you will see me at the time I love the best,
watching rainbows, play on sunlight,
pools of water iced from cold night,in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the daytime I will meet you as before.
You will find me waiting by the ocean floor,
building castles in the shifting sands
in a world that no one understands,
in the morning.
‘Tis the morning of my life.
 
In the morning of my life
the minutes take so long to drift away.
Please be patient with your life,
it’s only morning and you’re still to live your day.
 
In the evening I will fly you to the moon,
to the top right hand corner of the ceiling in my room,
where we’ll stay until the sun shines,
another day to swing on clothe’s lines,
may I be yawning.
It is the morning of my life.
It is the morning of my life.
 
In the morning,…

 It’s just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
I’ll be sad and alone all the time.
It’s just the way that you said
you don’t love me anymore,
then goodbye.

I can’t believe what you’re saying.
You don’t love me anymore.
Goodbye.

Just the way that I feel about tomorrow.
Knowing you won’t be there by my side.
I wish that I could say to you;
well, can’t we just be good friends?

Would you leave the door open,
let me walk in again?

That’s the way I been thinking ‘bout tomorrow.
I only know that friends can’t be lovers again.

I can find my way around town
I ain’t blind I’ve been here before
no-one knows when I feel down
it’s hard to laugh when you know the score
but I know that she’ll always be
waiting here for me
Is it true to say that she’s the one that I love
it’s plain to see

no-one knows that I have left town
I’ve come back as to face the fact
trying easy on your own ground
it’s plain to see love is what a lie

no-one knows when I feel down
it’s hard to laugh when you know the score
yes it’s hard to laugh when you know the score
but I know that she’ll always be
waiting here for me
Is it true to say that she’s the one that I love
it’s plain to see
she knows that I have left
I’ve come back

When I was seventeen it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights
We’d hide from the lights on the village green
When I was seventeen
 
When I was twenty-one it was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair and it came undone
When I was twenty-one
 
Then I was thirty-five it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means, we’d ride in limousines their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
 
But now the days grow short, I’m in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs, and it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
 
It was a mess of good years

Out in the world, lost in the night.
Broken inside, the dream’s out of sight.
Running in circles, hot city streets.
Young girl, you came and you make me believe it.

I’m just a victim of emotion.
A storm within an ocean of heartache and wonderland.
Yesterday’s gone and whatever happens now
I found you, answer to a dream.

In a world of strangers.
In and out of love.
Make it feel like the first time.
I been searching forever.
I been crazy falling in and out of love so long.

Innocent hearts, beating alone.
You opened my eyes, the hurting is gone.
I’m lying next to you, I’m holding on to you.
I’m born again girl and I can’t let go of you.
I’m just a victim of emotion.

A storm within an ocean of heartache and wonderland.
Yesterday’s gone and whatever happens now.
I found you, answer to a dream in a world of strangers.
In and out of love.
Make it feel like the first time.
I been searching forever.
I been crazy falling in and out of love so long.

I been searching for the real thing (oh I been searching).
I been waiting forever.
I’ve seen the light.
Whatever happens now, I found you, answer to a dream.
In a world of strangers
Hold me love…

Hello baby, it’s a long time
I know you’re here
I feel you close to me
So much to say but
Making all the words
I save them all inside
Then I see you and they disappear
Like leaves beneath the snow
And life don’t wait for everyone
And yesterday, I let you go

I’m watching you tonight
And I waited for so long
I’ve been living on your memory
In a world where we were one
And you told me you could make it on your own

I’m watching you tonight
And it’s making me cry
When I lost you, I lost everything
But our love should never die
Not mine, my love is born to be your love
Oh baby
To make history near you
But the moment when I see me in your eyes
You’re gone, you’re gone

You can say goodbye if you want to
I love you but I’ll try to understand
But in my soul I know it’s meant to be
Together you and me

But I know you came to fade away
Like voices in the wind
And I wonder if you feel my love
It’s stronger than it’s ever been

I’m watching you tonight
And there’s no other one
All the love we gave eternally
Now it’s dying in the sun
Not mine, my love was born to be your love
Oh baby
To make history near you
But that moment when I see me in your eyes
You’re gone, you’re gone, you’re gone.

So this is who I am,
and this is all I know.
And I must choose to live,
for all that I can give,
the spark that makes the power grow.

And I will stand for my dream if I can,
symbol of my faith in who I am,
but you are my only.

And I must follow on the road that lies ahead.
And I won’t let my heart control my head.
But you are my only.

We don’t say goodbye.
We don’t say goodbye.
And I know what I’ve got to be

Immortality.
I make my journey through eternity.
I keep the memory of you and me inside.

Fulfill your destiny.
Is there within the child?
My storm will never end.
My fate is on the wind.
The king of hearts, the joker’s wild.

But we don’t say goodbye.
We don’t say goodbye.
I’ll make them all remember me.

Cos I have found a dream that must come true.
Every ounce of me must see it through.
You are my only.

I’m sorry I don’t have a role for love to play.
Hand over my heart I’ll find my way.
I will make them give to me..(yeah)

Immortality.(oh baby)
There is a vision and a fire in me.(oh)
I keep the memory of you and me, inside.

We don’t say goodbye.
We don’t say goodbye.
With all my love for you.
And what else we may do?..
We don’t say goodbye.

When I was ten years old,
my parents were poor,
our house was so cold.
And I was still in school and learning.
And then I never really got too far.
And everyone we knew had money,
and driving a car, and driving a car.
 
Now I’m twenty-one,
the street where I lived is blown up and gone.
And I’ve had a good day crying.
And the world around has changed a lot.
I never really gave much more,
much more than I got,
much more than I got.
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah …

 With you,
baby I’m satisfied,
making my love to you.
‘Cause you got me hypnotized.

And you came to me alone, girl.
I was a heart that’s made of stone, girl,
and you broke it down in pieces.
Ah, and you took me for your own, girl.

I lie beneath your ecstasy.
You can pour it all over me.
I won’t break the chains of loving you.
We got everything anybody needs.
And it’s here with me.

With you,
baby I’m satisfied,
making my love to you
(making my love, making my love).
‘Cause you got me hypnotized.

Before you took me by the hand, girl,
I was a statue in the sand, girl.
I was broken down for reasons,
oh, you could never understand, girl.

I was living on desire.
But that was just the way we were.
Till you make a world of love in you.
We got everything anybody needs.
And it’s here with me.

With you,
baby I’m satisfied,
making my love to you.
‘Cause you got me hypnotized.

Anytime you wander,
get yourself back to me, girl.
Any cloud you’re under,
you got to get yourself free, girl.

Ahh, ahh, baby, with you,
baby I’m satisfied,
making’ my love to you.
Cause you got me hypnotized.

In search of a new tomorrow
The love that I hope to find
The dream that I seem to follow
Round in circles every time
You were always there
When I was on my own
There were lonely voices calling
There’s a night that’s falling
And I’ll make you feel the voodoo
What I do to you
And if I set you free
I lose your love forever

But that’s the darkest side of me
The games we love to play
I don’t mind your lies
Are we friends or are we enemies
Tell me what the message is
Love is blind

I’m not wearing any make-up now
Everything you see is real
God only knows, we fall in love
God only knows, we fall apart
Do we turn around and walk away
Never wise enough to know that it was beautiful
Telling me it’s beautiful
Telling me it’s beautiful

To think that I was sent to hurt you
You say that I went too far
You say that to stay forever
Then you tell me nevermore
I was always there
Before you turn to stone
There were lonely voices calling
There’s a night that’s falling
And I’ll make you feel the voodoo
What I do to you
And what you did to me
And bringing us together

But that’s the darkest side of me
The games we love to play
I don’t mind your lies
Are we friends or are we enemies
Tell me what the message is
Love is blind

I’m not wearing any make-up
Everything you see is real
God only knows we fall in love
Do we turn around and walk away
Never wise enough to know that it was beautiful
Telling me it’s beautiful
I’m not wearing any make-up
Everything you see is real
God only knows we fall in love
God only knows we fall apart

Oh, I’ll know what to do

If you wear my ring, you wear it for me
You’ve got to wear that thing indefinitely
And if you’re bad, even just for a while
I’ll be sad, then I’ll push you behind

Oh I know what to do

I am a man of words, the few words I say

Maybe it’s been so long.
Our house looks kind of different.
But the empty rooms still mean the same to me.
And as I wander through the darkness.
I’ll keep crying one last tear.
Now your lips are gone.
I’ll kiss your memory.
 
I’ll kiss your memory
as though you were here.
I’ll hold your memories till you reappear.
And as I wander through the darkness
I’ll keep crying one last tear.
Now your lips are gone,
I’ll kiss your memory.
 
I’ll kiss the thoughts of leaves that fell when summer was over.
And I’ll cherish all the thoughts you gave to me.
And I will wander through the darkness.
I’ll keep crying one last tear.
Now your lips are gone,
I’ll kiss your memory.
 
I’ll kiss your memory
as though you were here.
I’ll hold your memories till you reappear.
And as I wander through the darkness
I’ll keep crying one last tear.
Now your lips are gone,
I’ll kiss your memory.

Du….
I could be king of kings,
wear a crown and all the things
I’d want I’d never need.
I’d be an ace in an aeroplane
and every year I’d fly to Spain.
If I could get the nerve
to plant the seed.
 
Oh, tell me how to say goodbye.
I see her face in myself.
Why, tell me why I made her cry.
If only had my mind on something else.
 
Captain of the submarine
beneath the icebergs never seen.
A hero with a medal for everyday.
I find me fame, reach the top.
I keep on pushing, never stop.
If I could just forget her name.
 
Oh, tell me how to say goodbye.
I see her face in myself.
Why, tell me why I made her cry.
If only had my mind on something else.
If only had my mind on something else.

When I wake up in the morning
There’s something on my mind
And suddenly without warning
Somebody’s standing behind
And it’s you, babe
And it’s you, babe

If I were the sky, I could look down onto you
That one day, if you join me, every sky will be blue
every day with you

You know I still think you owe me
I dream every night that you do
So what is it that’s making me lonely
I’ve known all along what it is
And it’s you, babe
And it’s you, babe

If I were the sky, I could look down onto you
That one day, if you join me, every sky will be blue
every day with you

If I were the sky, I could look down onto you
That one day, if you join me, every sky will be blue

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
‘cause I’ve been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please
Don’t run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Don’t hurt my pride like her
‘cause I couldn’t stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you

I Will

Is this your voice I heard
speaking my name?
I hang on every word,
each letter that I write,
every day, every night,
but I just can’t live and learn (ooh).

Talking to myself and believing I could live without you.
Living on the lies and believing that love would stay.
Listen to me please and I’m begging on my knees before you,
but you don’t show the way,
no, you don’t show the way.

He may change your world and someday he may break your heart,
and you deserve no better.
If you love him I will step aside.
I offer this to you.
So leave me as I love you still.
And if he don’t keep you warm,
you know I will,
you know (ooh).

So this is who you are,
and the rest of my life I dedicate to you.
And I know that love can’t wait.
There’s a moon and a sun
and a dream that sees me through (ooh).

A little bit of change and a little bit of my desire.
I was shaking all over and I didn’t know what to say.
I’m the man in the middle and the middle man catches fire.
But baby, go away.
Oh baby, go, baby, go away.

He became your hero somehow, I become your clown.
And you deserve no better.
If you love him, I will step aside.
I offer this to you.
So leave me as I love you still.
And if he don’t take your heart, if he don’t take your heart,
you know I will.

It ain’t wise, it ain’t smart,
you say there’s no doubt about it.
If you decide you got somebody else.
(when I want you to myself).

I can’t stop, I can’t look,
I can’t say no more about it,
but my love will go on
just as long as the river flows.

Suddenly someone is crying.
Who knows what tomorrow brings so.

He may change your world and someday he may break your heart
and you deserve no better.
If you love him I will step aside.
I offer this to you.
So leave me as I love you still (love you still).
And if he don’t take your heart, if he don’t take your heart,
you know I will (ooh)

It ain’t wise, it ain’t smart.
You say there’s no doubt about it.
If you decide you got somebody else.

I can’t stop, I can’t look,

From the highest tower,
I will call you home.
It’s the same old story,
love will find its own (oh).

You come to me, conspiracy of the night.
The heart that you want just happens to be mine.
Thieves in the dark, you ought to be locked in chains
but you wind up on my side, and what will be will be.

That you wear a disguise, the epitome of deceit.
The face of a friend invisible on the street.
If you are battling to be mine, I’m victorious in defeat
and I surrender (I surrender), I surrender.

Anybody want me, anyone know my name.
Do it in a lifetime,
you be dust and the soul survives.
Evens up the score (ah).

From the highest tower,
I will call you home.
It’s the same old story,
love will find its own.

And I surrender,
take me for all time.
Love that lasts forever,
and I surrender.

We are elite, prisoners of the night.
We fight to the finish and savour the delights.
It’s your body that got me beat, and I’m crumbling at your feet,
I surrender (I surrender), I surrender.

(I surrender)
I will walk through fire to keep you safe and sound (oh no, oh no).
In the final hour, turn my life around (oh no),
and I surrender, take me for all time.

You are the air that I breathe (oh)

I will walk through fire, keep you safe and sound.
In the final hour, turn my life around (oh).
This is my life (life) story (story), I’ve been lost and found (oh no, oh no).
In the final hour (in the final hour), turn my life around (oh no).

And I surrender (surrender), ah ah ah….
take me for all time.

How can I meet other girls when you won’t let me go
My heart’s still in a whirl and gee I feel so low
I don’t know why I feel this way
I’d like to leave if I may

I can’t go to play, you have got a hold on me
You make me work all day
Why don’t you set me free
You’re on my mind almost all hours of the day
I’d like to leave if I may

It’s plain to see that I don’t need ya anymore
Why don’t you stay beside, and let me through the door
I know that in my life I’ve made one big mistake
You’ll only hurt me more if we don’t make the break
I’m telling you, so hear what I say
I’d like to leave if I may

It’s plain to see that I don’t need ya anymore
Why don’t you stay beside, and let me through the door
I know that in my life I’ve made one big mistake
You’ll only hurt me more if we don’t make the break
I’m telling you, so hear what I say
I’d like to leave if I may

I’d like to leave if I
Won’t you let me leave if I
I’d like to leave if I may, if I may
