Holding On To Love

I guess you'll never know
I didn't let it show
How much you meant to me
I always thought we'd find
Some kind of space and time
But it's not meant to be
But I'm holding on to love's beautiful pain
It's all I 'got 'til I see you again
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life
A lighthouse in my sea of fantasy
I've leant that all that counts
Is give in large amounts don't expect anything
But still I must confide
I've kept too much inside
While my heart's trembling
But I'm holding on to love's beautiful pain
It's all I 'got 'til I see you again
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life
A lighthouse in my sea of fantasy
I'm tired of reading empty platitudes
Scrolling through the demon in my hand
I know I gotta change my attitude
But all I want's for you to understand
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to life.....

Born Yesterday

You must think I was born yesterday
To show me everything and walk away
Why’re you acting so strange?
You don’t know how you make me feel
I’ve never known a love to be so real
Why d’you have to go and change?
Why don’t you look around, see what you’ve done
Cos I don’t see why there’s a need to run
You let me down, you let me down
I need you here, by my side
So Baby why d’ya wanna run & hide
You must think I was born yesterday
Time heals, that’s what my friends all have said
Well maybe if you’ve got your whole life ahead
I guess I’ll have to do my best
Keep strong, I’ve gotta find a way to carry on
But it's not easy now you’re gone
Baby, why d’I fail your test?
Why don’t you look around, see what you’ve done
Cos I don’t see why there’s a need to run
You let me down, you let me down
I need you here, by my side
So Baby why d’ya wanna run & hide
You must think I was born yesterday
I’m inside a vacuum, & I can’t hardly breathe
You’re making me question everything I believe
The fool that I am thought that we were complete
But you’ve pulled the carpet from under my feet
Oh, why don’t you look around?
Oh, oh why don’t you look around?
Time heals that what my friends say
But I know I can't watch you walk away
I gotta keep strong
I gotta carry on
But I know it won't be easy if you're gone.

Mystery Ride

I can’t keep still ‘cos my mind alway’s wandering to you
My head’s in a spin can’t control anything that I do
Reeling & rollin’ my heart’s roller coastin’ inside
I’m tripping up, I’m slipping down, I’m losing my grip on the slide
You keep me guessing, here on this mystery ride
I’m confessing something I just cannot hide
I still want you, like a fool
I still need you to be true
Tell me my fortune and help rid this spell over me
You see I’m a Fire Horse the sign of intensity
Seasons will change and we’ll play this charade from the start,
A singing and dancing parade marching straight through my heart
You keep me guessing, here on this mystery ride
I’m confessing something I just cannot hide
I still want you, like a fool
I still need you to be true
I still want you, like a fool
I still need you to be true
I still want you, like a fool
I still need you to be true
Ooooh
Like a fool on a mystery ride.

As Though You Were Mine
04:05

I know that it’s foolish to think you’d care for me
You’ve probably got someone who takes up your time
And no doubt there’s somewhere that you’re supposed to be
But you smile at me as though you were mine
I’d never assume that you’d need my company
Everyone around you tells me you’re fine
I’ve lean’t not to hope at all, that I’m the only one you see,
But you look at me as though you were mine
In my wildest dreams you’re always by my side
We shine like the stars in the sky
Still, I’m not fool enough to leave my heart open wide
But something, something keeps asking me why
When you look at me
You look at me
You look at me oh
You look at me
As though you were mine
In my wildest dreams you’re always by my side
We shine like the stars in the sky
Still, I’m not fool enough to leave my heart open wide
But something, something keeps asking me why
When you look at me
You look at me
You look at me oh
You look at me
As though you were mine
You look at me
You look at me oh
You look at me
As though you were mine

Black Dog

There’s a black dog
It’s following me again
It lurks in the shadows
Waiting to catch my eye
Every time
It disappears without a trace
Wandering
To the corners of my mind
Days filled with the joy of sun
Seasons of contentment in my soul
I know before the summer’s gone
Soon I’ll hear his cold and lonely call
Black dog you’ve got a hold on me
Black dog I’m tryin’ can’t you see
In the darkest hour,
Lose your grip and let me be
So don’t question him
'Cos here’s an opportunity
No-one has immunity
Just be his friend and that is all
Days filled with the joy of sun
Seasons of contentment in my soul
I know before the summer’s gone
Soon I’ll hear his cold and lonely call
Black dog you’ve got a hold on me
Black dog I’m tryin’ can’t you see
In the darkest hour,
Lose your grip and let me be
Black dog you’ve got a hold on me
Black dog I’m tryin’ can’t you see
In the darkest hour,
Lose your grip and let me be

Snow Blind

A drop of snow just floated over me
Made me drift into a reverie
All around I hear such merriment and cheer
Makes me wish that you were here
Maybe there’s a way
Perhaps today’s the day you’ll come
‘Cos I’m waiting,
Yes I’m waiting
I’m looking to the light
And my heart is blazing
Til I’m snow blind
Yes I’m snow blind
From you
I wake from deepest sleep, a carousel of dreams
Chased away by winter sun, streaming through the trees
I can’t shake off this feeling, it’s a strange serenity
A glistening white landscape of possibility
Maybe there’s a way
Perhaps today’s the day you’ll come
‘Cos I’m waiting,
Yes I’m waiting
I’m looking to the light
And my heart is blazing
Til I’m snow blind
Yes I’m snow blind
From you
From you

Your Biggest Fan
04:24
|

|
I’ve heard people say
You keep them away
I know it’s not true
It’s just they’ve never had the chance to know you like I do
Take it from me, you know just how to be.
If they cannot see
What’s magic to me
If they think you’re strange
Well then it’s really them who need to go and make a change
Stay just the same, just play your own game.
'Cos you're the best to me
It doesn't matter what they say that's how you'll always be
'Cos every time you nail it
So don't let anybody make you feel like you could ever fail it
'Cos I'm your biggest fan
Yes I'm your biggest fan
And so if you ever doubt
Can't find a way out
Just believe in yourself
‘Cos baby you should know you got so much to shout about
Then finally, this crazy world will see.
That you're the best to me
It doesn't matter what they say that's how you'll always be
'Cos every time you nail it
So don't let anybody make you feel like you could ever fail it
'Cos I'm I'm totally your biggest fan
Yes I'm totally your biggest fan
