Just one more night, my love,
and all that we believe becomes a lie,
and loneliness will disappear
with the tears we cried.

How could you leave me believing
that it’s too late to be
all the love, the love we were?
How can you turn me away
when I stumble in?
Help me break your dream of her.

I wonder why it’s going wrong.
Never understood the meaning all along.
Somehow I believe in everything.
Came the warning light.
And the story ends.
And I’m in love with you, baby.

Just one more night, my love
and all that we believe becomes a lie,
and loneliness will disappear
with the tears we cried.

Would you be leaving tomorrow for someone else
while I die for you inside?
Can there be one of us anyone feel no pain?
Don’t it hurt to say goodbye?

It must be right to let it end.
I’m playing with pieces of my heart again.
Somehow I believe our love will grow
from the midnight hour to the morning glow.
And I believe in you, baby.
Just one more night, my love.

Just one more night, my love,
and all that we believe become a lie,
and loneliness will disappear
with the tears we cried.

Just one look and I felt so wild
Felt so wild in love with you
I found out how good it feels
Just how good to have your love
Say you will, you will be mine
You’ll be mine forever and always
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one

I thought I was dreaming
But I was so wrong
But I’m gonna keep on scheming
Till I can make you all of my own

So you see I really care
Without you I’m nothing
Just one look and I know
I’ll get you someday
Just one look
That’s all it took

<14 song edition>
(2001)


Well, it seems every night and day, I get to lose.
And I always held the faith inside
that love would find a way.
And I always reached for more than the others ever saw.
I was always the first to follow my foolish prayer.
And the feeling that I have is more than any soul could bear.
Hold me when I wake.
Then I can be sure of who I am.
I’m half the man I should be, when you’re gone.

And you’re telling me this is love,
but just in case, keep my heart in a secret place,
safe under lock and key, ‘til I know it’s only me.
One of us got to be the one that’s true.
One for the other and the love comes through.
Right here or out in space.
Give my heart to you, babe, but just in case.
Yeah, just in case.

Tell the world that I’ve come to claim your tomorrows.
Let the universal word go out a million miles away.
And let history show.
On the wind the seed is sown.
We are living in a time where the tears fall where they might,
but we hear each other much more than those who see.
We are not alone.
Love is there for everyone who needs
and for anyone who cries.
I will always have you here with me.
Oh.

And you’re telling me this is love,
but just in case, keep my heart in a secret place,
safe under lock and key, til I know it’s only me.
One of us has got to be the one that’s true.
One for the other and the love comes through.
Yours, mine, and face to face,
give my heart to you,
but just in case.
Yeah, just in case.

Ah, oh baby, ah, oh, oh baby, ah.

And you’re telling me this is love,
but just in case, keep my heart in a secret place,
safe under lock and key, til I know it’s only me.
One of us has got to be the one that’s true.
One for the other and the love comes through.
Yours, mine, and face to face.

Jumbo said to say goodnight,
see you in the morning.
Please don’t lose your appetite,
he knows who is yawning.
Tomorrow you can climb a mountain,
sail a sailboat through a fountain.
Jumbo said to say goodnight, he’s a friend of yours.
 
Play no games he’d say to me when the light is gone.
He is right he’d say to me, we know who is wrong.
So please don’t make no hesitation.
There will be no recreation.
Jumbo said to say goodnight, he’s a friend of yours.
 
Listen to the tune; and if it’s loud, it’s up to you.
It’s only sounder than a sparrow, and it shoots a bow and arrow
through a song that’s like a powder with a gun that’s even louder.
And it’s sad enough to hear you must a listen with your ear
in order to get to you.
 
Yes, yes, yes, it gets to you.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
Yes, yes, yes, you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.

I steal the night away,
Driving my life away, dancing.
I was a romeo,
I knew the art of romancing.
I was just one of the guys
and I thought I had it made.
I needed someone to show me how to love.
 
Juliet, oh Juliet,
the night was magic when we first met.
Juliet, oh Juliet,
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky.
And all the people around the world can stand aside
for me and my baby, Juliet.
 
Fighting with destiny,
fortune and fame but kept losing.
Playing a joker’s game,
only myself I was fooling.
 
I was an average guy
in a world of empty dreams.
You’ve broken down all the walls
with your love.
 
Juliet, oh Juliet,
this kind of loving you don’t forget.
Juliet, oh Juliet,
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky.
And all the people around the world can stand aside.
 
Close your eyes, Juliet, don’t let go.
 
On and on, our love is like the sun.
It keeps going strong throughout eternity.
 
I wanna love you in my life, sweet Juliet.
Living without you in my life, oh my girl Juliet.
 
Juliet, oh Juliet,
this kind of loving you don’t forget.
Juliet, oh Juliet,
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky.
And all the people around the world can stand aside.

Jingle jangle,
my love wears silvery bangles.
She likes to wander
and that’s why I’m under
the spell of her jingle jangle.
 
We used to cry
on each other’s shoulder.
Now that I’m older,
she wanders ahead.
 
Now that she’s found love,
I still hear the sound of
silvery bangles,
remain in my head.

I see she knowing what I came here for
fet a little of your womanifestation
If I can pinpoint this feeling
When you gonna let it grow
We can draw the line on where we let the fingers go.

Now I know me
Never wanna lose control
Making me the subject of your warm initiation.
If I can pinpoint this feeling
When you gonna let it show
You make me nervous but it’s now or never.

Oh oh
You can be my message from above
And it’s time to say you’re sorry
We can sanctify our love

Oh oh
And you and I we’re written in the wind
You can’t just go moving out
You can’t leave me when I’m moving in

I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover

It’s you or me
Gotta be a kill or cure
Maybe undergo a lover’s operation
Nothing cuts like a knife can
You don’t wanna hurt me more
Look at all that damage we could do together

Oh oh
You can wear me closer to the bone
It don’t work to make me worry
But the demon seed is sown

Oh oh
And you and I we’re written in the sky
You can’t make me hold on
Better you shoot my love between the eyes.
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover
I want to be your human sacrifice
I want to be your lover

Your eyes on me on this table where I lie
And what I see as fact is fiction
You won’t let me die
And I’m bound to be abused
I won’t let you cut me loose
This love is out to get you
When the blood begins to flow

Oh oh
You can be my message from above
And it’s time to say you’re sorry
We can sanctify our love

Oh oh
And you and I we’re written in the wind
You can’t just go moving out
You can’t leave me when I’m moving in

I got a bad sensation.
The enemy is all around.
The traces of my naked heart
are laid upon the ground.

I suffered side effects that might have been forever,
even in my dreams.
And I was left alone to pray,
when there was no one in the way.
And nothing what it seemed.

And from a hard time, play time,
took a trip around the world.
I made myself invisible.
The taste was in the wine.

And just when the thought of someone
needing me forever.
I don’t believe the words are true.
That only she could be my saviour.

Experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
She said experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.

And she’s all alone with me.
Every night.
And lighting all my days of sorrow.
On my own.
If there was any more to give.
You know I’d sacrifice it for her.

And in the prime of my life.
I was blessed and I was sent
someone sweet and innocent
and nervous when she kissed.

And in the face of my forbidden fruit forever,
miracles are mine.
And knowing I’m the first
in her secret universe.
There’s no sense of space and time.

You take a small town, young girl.
Someone warm and wonderful
that any man would understand
that love is like the wind.

Something deep inside to give you.
And when the words get in the way,
the only thing you need is silence.

Experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).
She said experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).

Experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).
She said experience is not enough.
I’ll show you how to fall in love.
(Experience is not enough,
I’ll show you how to fall in love).

Experience is not enough…

Driving my car, we stop for a while.
It’s getting so late and you’re sending me wild.
I know that it’s madness but oh,
I’m scared, oh so scared.

Taking my hand, try to settle down.
We won’t say a word till it’s over.

And your eyes are so inviting.
I know that if we stay
I’ll never take you home.

You said you were 17
but you are somewhere in between
that leads me on.
How old are you, oh.

Ran away to open arms.
You’re just a girl with women’s charms
that turns me on.
How old are you, oh.

You’ve been busy lying.
You’ve made it up to now.
I’m caught up in the heat of the moment.

If you love me and then leave me,
it’s the story of my life.
And I won’t be in the morning the man I am tonight

So, little girl, please try and understand
you mean more to me than a one-night stand.
I’m losing all resistance, my head has lost control.
It’s wrong, oh so wrong.

Deep in the night, shadows all around,
lost in the magic forever.

And I know that when you touch me
my heart won’t let me down.
I’m scared, oh so scared.

You said you were 17
but you are somewhere in between,
that leads me on.
How old are you, oh.

Ran away to open arms.
You’re just a girl with women’s charms
that turns me on.
How old are you, oh.

Fighting all temptation,
I’ve made it up to now.
I’m caught up in the heat of the moment.

If you love me and then leave me,
it’s the story of my life.
And I won’t be in the morning the man I am tonight.

You said you were 17

How many sleeps ‘till I see you again
How many waves on the shore
How many wishes and how many prayers
Before you are with me once more
I’ll kiss you goodnight
And I’ll promise to write
And I’ll see you very soon
We’ll be looking at the same moon
I will be there when you call
And the moment is forever
Oh, Amy Rose,
I love you most of all.

Lions and tigers and crocodile tears
Things that go bump in the night
I’ll be your hero and dry all your tears
Drive all your fears out of sight
And how do you find it’s so easy to leave me
Alone inside my room
I will see you in the same stars
I will hold your face, oh
And the moment is forever
My Amy Rose
This is your daddy’s vow.

I will meet you at the kissing gate
Remember the fish on the stone
I will meet you down at Amy’s barn
And you will never be alone
You will never be alone.

How many sleeps ‘till I see you again
How many rays in the sun
Daddy I love you as long as I live
Long as a river may run
How many colours we see in the rainbow
And chase that red balloon
Are we looking at the same moon
We will never be apart
And the moment is forever
My Amy Rose
I live inside your heart.

I will meet you at the kissing gate
Remember the fish on the stone
I will meet you down at Amy’s barn
And you will never be alone

And whether she’s running through the yellow fields
Or barefoot on the stones
I will meet you down at Amy’s barn
And you will never be alone
You will never be alone.
No, not alone, Amy.

 

As you know this is the B side of Cliff Richards new single. A wonderful composition written by Barry and his best friend David English. David is very pleased with the success of the song. David: ‘It’s quite wonderful that it’s doing so well. I wrote the song about my daughter Amy Rose, who, as a little girl, used to phone me from Zimbabwe, where she lived at the time, and asked, How many sleeps before I see you daddy?’ She would measure how long she hadn’t seen me in how many nights she had slept I thought this was a lovely idea for a song so me and Barry went to Miami to record it. We thought it would be perfect for Cliff Richard so he came over and put down the vocals. The funny thing is that Cliff hasn’t even met Amy Rose, even though he’s singing about her.’

I can think of younger days
when living for my life
was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow,
but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze
that rustles through the trees
and misty memories of days gone by.
We could never see tomorrow,
no one said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
and let me live again.

First you say you needed me,

They say good girls never win.
Something good in giving in.
How do I get through to you?
You must be made of stone.

Just when I was safe and sound.
Love, you built a wall around.
You take a hard line attitude.
Time to send me back to school.
Or take me, take me to your …

…house of shame,
easy on your body when you got no name.
Hold me like you know me,
I’m a falling star,
catch me if you can,
show me the way inside.

You can knock on any door.
I know what I’m looking for.
Red light, hit and run.
Time to turn the engine on.
Pretty girl lives all alone.
I must be going home.

Hot as hell and cold as ice.
Everything I sacrifice.
I got to pick up on what you do.
I just can’t get over you.
You take me, take me to your…

..house of shame,
easy on your body when you got no name.
Hold me like you know me,
I’m a falling star,
catch me if you can,
show me the way inside.

Tell me what you really want from life,
loving you, darling,
you got me infatuated,
good love is not for sale,
I nearly gave myself away.

Pretty girl lives all alone,
take me to your, take me to your

easy on your body when you got no name.
Hold me like you know me,
I’m a falling star,
catch me if you can,
show me the way inside.

said ‘Sir here’s what you ordered’.
He said ‘no one seems to care ‘.

It must be good to live in the house of lords.
It must be good to live in the house of lords.

The house is now in darkness before the coming day.
But at five o’clock that morning, the master passed away.
The housemaid drew the curtains and the doctors watched the dawn.
And the brother Bendix sadly watched the gardener mow the lawn.

It must be sad to live in the house of lords.
It must be sad to live in the house of lords.

Grandma Mildred Marshall was pouring out the tea
when she heard about the news of Sir Frederick’s tragedy.
The hall is now in sadness and everybody cried
on the banks of Burntley River is where Sir Frederick lies.

It must be sad to live in the house of lords.

moments of swimming in cream.
 
This is the start of the end.
Goodbye.
Flowers are facing my life
and dying.

You took it in your stride to run away and hide
Thru all the pain of battle and the breaking of your pride.

Sweet Billy James’s been asking where you’ve gone.
It’s been so many years now since you’ve taken off the gun.

Well, the grass is getting dry.
And it seems your name they’re calling; the rain, it hasn’t fallen,
Only tears shed from our eyes.

They say there isn’t grave
In the hills of West Virginia, but dying isn’t in ya.
But the rhinestone bears your name.

You’re the father of your child.
But your mind just seems to wander, let no man hold you under
While your heart is running wild.

And I’ve searched so many towns
And I’ve roamed so many places, I’ve seen so many faces,
But I’ve never known your own.

Well, there’s gonna be a day
When your drinking wine is through now, and the people close to you now
Will have you here to stay.

Home again rivers,
Home again rivers,
Come home again rivers,
Billy’s come home.
