 Ah, first I rise, then I fall;
seems like you don’t want the love of this man at all.

And it’s sure been a lonely time
right up to the time I met you.
So if you take a love like mine,

ooh, be tender with my love,
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘cause it’s all that I’ve got
and my love won’t desert me.

So you say to yourself, boy,
you’re out of your brain;
do you think I’m gonna stand here
all night in the rain?

And it’s the start of a love affair
the moment when I first met you.
And if you want I’ll take you there.

Ooh, be tender with my love,
you know how easy it is to break me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘cause it’s all that I’ve got
and my love won’t forsake me.

Ooh, with my love,
our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love,
you made a promise
you’ll always love me forever.

Be tender (be tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to break me.
Fanny (be tender), be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
‘cause it’s all that I’ve got
and my love won’t forsake me.

Be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender (tender) with my love (with my love)
‘cause it’s all that I’ve got
and my love won’t forsake me.

Ooh….Ah, ah, ah…
Be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender (tender) with my love (with my love)
‘cause it’s all that I’ve got
and my love won’t desert me.

Be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to break me.
Ooh, Fanny, be tender with my love
‘cause it’s all that I’ve got
and my love won’t forsake me.

Be tender (tender) with my love (oh with my love),
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender…

Size isn’t everything

 Fool in the night on the stair,
with the light by the window.
Out in the jungle of life she was
yearning to go.

All of the years I’ve been there for the tears
she will sell you.
Out in the city she search for the face
that she knew.

Did you believe that a love so alive could be over?

Caroline,
fallen Angel.
Caroline.
Oh oh oh…
Fallen Angel,
I’m so lost,
tonight, lonely tonight.
Lonely tonight.

Fool is the father who clings to the
child he is losing.
Mother too weary to question
the wisdom of youth.

There with your head in your handa
as you pray to her picture.
Out in the rain she would search
for somebody to hold.

Did you believe you could find
what you need with a stranger?

Caroline,
fallen Angel.
Caroline.
Oh oh oh….
Fallen Angel,
I’m so lost,
tonight, lonely tonight.
Lonely tonight.

Did you believe that a love so alive could be over?

 Love can’t be love
if it’s just for the moment,
only to pass the night away.
As we both get nearer,
deeper love is so much clearer,
as long as we do it face to face.

And I have known
all the lost lonely people.
My world has found a place in your smile.

If you’re searching for a different love than mine,
you’ll never stop me loving you.

More of your love.
More of the warmer ride.
May love for everyone be as true?

No letting go,
but let each other know.
If we never try, then we never lie.
Face to face.

You make a man like a child with your power.
Help me to find my way inside.
Let me drink your potion.
Let me drown in your emotion.
Lover to lover, face to face.

In time we learn from the lost lonely people
that love can last as long as time.
There was never born another one for me.
And you’ll never stop me loving you.

More of your love.
More of the warmer ride.
May love for everyone be as true.

And loving you means to me
no letting go
but let each other know, oh baby.
If we never try then we never lie.
Face to face.

I’ll be with you when the world is lies and the music dies,
just as long as I know there will be
more of your love,
more of the warmer ride.
May love for everyone be as true?

And loving you means to me
no letting go
but let each other know.
If we never try then we never lie.
Face to face.

I’ll be with you when the world is lies and the music dies,

You’re not meant to be alone.
I’ll share your dream.
I’ll show you love you’ve never known.
Two flames together in the deep of the night.
I’m up in your love.

Close by you when you call.
I’ll take my stand.
One chance to make or lost it all.
This time my journey to wherever you are.
I sail on your river so far my love we’ll never be found.
If you believe.

We got eyes that see in the dark.
And the power of love lives for making you mine.
And in the light of close investigation.
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

Moonlight shining on your face.
My bridges burnt.
With all my tears that you replaced.
Two hearts together is a beautiful sight.
I’ll take you to heaven so far my love will follow you there.
If we believe.

We got eyes that see in the dark.
And the power of love lives for making you mine.
Am I the light of someone you need more of.
Let me be that love you can be sure of.
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

Like the eagle that flies in the sun.
I’ll be lost in your fire before we are done.
And the view from my window is brighter.
Born to be all you need.

We got eyes that see in the dark.
And the power of love lives for making you mine.
Am I the light of someone you need more of.
Let me be that love you can be sure of.
Is it only my imagination
I got you.

It’s heaven in your eyes .
How close I am to you .
And something tells me now or never.

If I can start by loving you.
If I believe that your heart is mine.
And all the little things we do alone,
you and I can try together.
Just place my love in your home.
You can give it to me later.
Keep me on the run.
Keep the fire burning on.

It’s all in the eyes when you look at me.
And the feeling when you kiss me is a mystery.
When the taste of each other comes into play
baby, you and I better run away.
Better run away, better run away

There must be some unwritten law
for just the two of us there must be more.
And we can starve for each other,
save it through the night.
Or we can feed forever
all that love inside.
There’s a fear of the danger
but I’m guided by the light.
All the love that is lost
in the black of the night.

It’s all in the eyes when you look at me.
And the feeling when you kiss me is a mystery.
When the taste of each other come into play,
baby, you and I better run away.
Better run away, better run away.

I see me in your eyes.
How close I am to you.
And something tells me now or never.

See me loving you
A fool without a lover
How can that possibly be
Maybe you can show me why
I shiver when you’re closer
I remember your touch without it
Let me drown in your ecstasy
It’s got to be do or die

Don’t tell me love is just one night
I know it’s not true
There should be someone there to catch you
When the rain falls
And you can turn away my heaven
And maybe I was wrong
I depended on the inner voice of…

Experience, or just imagination
Whatever you believe in, you can lose
And one way or the other, we can find
Another world we can run away to
I’m living for the…

Experience, is only what you make it
You live forever but you never know
That somebody loves you
And when the sky is open
Fly away lovers can share
I’ll be there

And you can make the earth move
You can take me with no struggle
Lead me through your mystical dreams
Show me what you are
And we can make the wind blow
You’re the power and I’m in it
You can be the fire I start
I want your heart

And let there be a story when the stories are told
I need to hear you say you love me when the night falls
We may never go to heaven but one thing that is sure
You can not ignore
I’ll make it more than…

Experience is not imagination

Somebody loves you
I couldn’t get no higher

There’s a law in what we do.
We got a quest for something new.
Everything you witness seems to let you down.

If someone gets you from behind.
I got an open mind.
And you’ve been thirsty for the friend you found.

Close your eyes and make a wish.
I don’t wanna mess with mother nature.
(Knowing that you’re mine.)
You said I could see
you with another and we all get satisfied.

It’s a form of evolution,
it’s a kind of moving on,
an eternal source of pleasure,
in being the one.

When your love is for the giving,
it’s a case of destiny.

You know we look for the same insane games.
Got to be commital to be a little deviation.

So I get all wound up inside.
I can see your scene unwind.
You dance together or you dance alone.

And leave the real world in the air.
Love it in leather I don’t care.
Everything is legal in the danger zone.

Close your eyes and make a wish.
Later we could cater to the animal.
(Knowing that you’re mine.)
It’s straight in my face.
You and your lover and the brain is paralyzed.

It’s a form of evolution,
it’s a kind of moving on,
it’s a cycle of emotion,
in being the one.

In the storm of revolution,
what is done can be undone.
You know we look for the same insane games.
Got to be commital to the subtle variations.

It’s a form of evolution,
it’s a kind of moving on,
it’s a cycle of emotion,
in being the one..

If your love is for the giving,
it’s a case of destiny,
and you can find your source of pleasure

There was a little girl I planned to marry,
if this was my love I didn’t want to share it.
I thought that love would make my life bright and sunny,
but she said she could not love me ‘cause I didn’t have no money.

Every day I have to cry so,
drying the water from my eyes so,
till the clouds slowly pass by (?)
every day I have to cry.

I got me a girl,
I guess I really love her,
‘cause every night now I’ve been thinking over.
But you can’t live all your love this morning,
but if you do it’s gonna hurt somebody.

Every day I have to cry so,
drying the water from my eyes so,
till the clouds slowly pass by (?)
every day I have to cry.

and so I know she’s just a poor girl
if she found a love it’s because she’s not a rich girl
but every time you reach love this morning
every time you gonna hurt somebody.

Every day I have to cry so,
drying the water from my eyes so,
till the clouds slowly pass by (?)

And who’s the one you’re clinging to
instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I’ll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart.

In the words of a broken heart
It’s just emotion that’s taken me over.
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul.
But if you don’t come back,
Come home to me, darling,
You know there will be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
You know there will nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

I’m there at your side,
I’m part of all the things you are (aaah).
But you’ve got a part of someone else,
You’ve got to find your shining star.

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I’ll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart.

In the words of a broken heart
It’s just emotion that’s taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul (Baby, I’m lost in your soul)
But if you don’t come back,
Come home to me, darling,
Dont you know there’ll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (aaah).

I don’t know what you want, I don’t hear what you said.
Truth behind the lies.
‘Cause I can’t see what’s in your head.
And spread your wings and fly, out in a brave new world.
Let this be my prayer, to keep you safe when I’m not there.

Can we love and live apart?
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.
How can we divide the heart?
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.

And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace.
And in the cold night, under the street light,
I long for your embrace.

Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you (I have faith).
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word.
Embrace.

Through the mists of time, lovers can be friends.
The power of the human heart.
The secrets in the souls of men.
All my blessings in disguise.
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.
Reunited we will rise.
I don’t know, no, I don’t know.

And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace.
And in the cold night, under the street light,
I long for your embrace.

Living separate lives, I have faith in you, away from you (I have faith).
Like a lonely child, I will hang on every word.

And when the night falls, and when the sky falls,
I long for your embrace.
Another daybreak, another heartache,
I long for your embrace.

Living separate lives,
away from you.
Embrace, embrace.
The lonely, lonely life.
Lonely days and nights (away from you).
We can live our life
(embrace, embrace)
with our separate lives.
Embrace, embrace.
The lonely, lonely lives.
Lonely days and nights.
I will never send away.
Embrace, embrace.
The lonely, lonely lives.
Embrace the child inside
the lonely, lonely lives.

When the summer day is over
Its busy cares have flown
I will sit beneath the starlight
With a weary heart alone

Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

Let me hear the ocean murmur
Let me watch your stormy sky
Then above the emerald waters
Sings the seagull as she flies

Then it rises like a vision
Sparkling bright it shines for me
My own dear Ellan Vannin
With its green hills by the sea

And in all my times of sorrow
And on some lonely shore
I’ll go back to Ellan Vannin
To my childhood days once more

All that I need is just a piece of paper,
say a few lines, make up my mind,
so she can read it later, when I’m gone,
Elisa, goodbye, Elisa,
 
All that I need is just a quiet corner,
Bring to the light, things I must write,
Got to get it over with, choose,
Elisa, goodbye, Elisa.
 
The song that I sing,
the times I’ve tried to hide it.
I’m sorry to say, I’m going away.
That’s what I’ve decided on.
I’ve tried.
Elisa, goodbye, Elisa.
 
Goodbye Elisa.
Elisa goodbye.
Elisa goodbye.
Elisa, Elisa
 
All the love of my mother, I offer to you.
And I’ll try so very hard, to get you through.
If lay down my life, for my king and country men.
Would it change you for the better?
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night.

If I gave up the cause, what would you give me
to make up for all the things that I would lose?
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men,
would it change you for the better?
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night.

Well you better get busy, get it over and done.
I was here when you arrived, I’ll be here when you’re gone.
If I give up my life for my king and country men.
Would it change you for the better?
It better be all right
To be never like people
Afraid of the night.

Do do do..

    Aaah…
He made electric lights to read.
He gave us light today.
He gave us cylinders to please,
when Edison came to stay,
Edison came to stay.

Edison set the world on fire.
He really made the day.
Station to station, many wires.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.

Oh, how, look at us now.
We’ve still got a lot to learn.
But it’s someone else’s turn.
Edison’s here to stay.
Edison’s here to stay.

Aaah…
All of the world can taste his glory.
All of the people say
You´ll be the man to write his story.
Edison’s here to stay.
Edison’s here to stay.

Oh, how, look at us now.
We’ve still got a lot to learn.
But it’s someone else’s turn.
Edison’s here to stay.
Edison’s here to stay.

He made electric lights to read.
He gave us light today.
He gave us cylinders to please,
when Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.

You’ll be the man to write his story.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.

Aaah…
All of the world can hear his story.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay.
Edison came to stay…
