A passing face within the crowd
Turns a certain way
And there you are
In everything I see
Moonlight on the bedroom wall
Shadows thrown just so
And there you are
Moving over me
A Sunday drive, the radio on
My mind is miles away
But fate conspires
And plays your favorite song
I walk into a crowded room
Convinced that I’m just fine
But then a certain perfume
Proves me wrong
A way, yeah There must be, there must be a way Yeah, yeah A way, yeah There must be, there must be a way Back to you
A quiet place, a glass of wine
Our table in the sun
And there you are
The waitress says your name
I give myself a new routine
But I can’t change my heart
So there you are
And every day’s the same
An empty room, the lights are off
A broken man’s alone
Wondering how long
He can take this pain
A way, yeah There must be, there must be a way Yeah, yeah A way, yeah There must be, there must be a way A way back to you A way back to you A way back to you
Here’s the sun
Here’s the moon
And all the stars I can gather
Here’s my night
Here’s my day
And every moment that matters
Here are the chains
Bind them tight
Wrap your lifetimes around me
Here I am
Here you are Finally
Here’s my life
Here at last
Seems so long I’ve been waiting
Here’s my heart
Come alive
Not one beat hesitating
Here’s my hand
Read the lines
They all say you would find me
Now here I am
And here you are Finally
Comes a moment for every soul
Can’t live alone anymore
Comes a moment for every soul
Those eyes look at you and you know
That here’s the sun
Here’s the moon
And all the stars I can gather
Here’s my life
Here’s my heart
And every moment that matters
So here’s my love
All for you
It’s always been here inside me
Now here I am
And here you are Finally
Here’s the sun
Here’s the moon
And all the stars I can gather
Here’s my night
Here’s my day
And every moment that matters
Well here are the chains
Bind them tight
Wrap your lifetimes around me
‘Cause here I am
And here you are Finally

You see me
We both stop
Uneasy
I didn’t know you’d be here
My heart pounds, you touch your hair
Our last night – so messed up
Our last words, they still cut
But now just one thing I would do
Is hold you Hold you Hold you Hold you
We stand there
So close now
Still nervous
But somehow
I reach out, my touch so light
Your eyes say it’s just right
And slowly the words come
Forgiveness, like warm sun
And I know just what I will do
Is hold you Hold you Hold you Hold you
I’d see you shining
From a million miles away
But don’t wanna leave your side
Don’t wanna waste another
Waste another day
So slowly we reach out
Like there was never any doubt
That this is what we’ll always do
Yeah, hold you Hold you Hold you Hold you
I’d see you shining
A million miles away
Don’t wanna leave your side
For another day

She walks the streets at midnight, her life bagged in her arms
Her fantasies are friendly, her memories mean her harm
She talks to make sure loneliness is always kept at bay
And if you listen closely I’m sure you’ll hear her say
“There is no Lord to listen so there is no need to pray We’re born to begin dying and I’m well on my way”
Her words were cold and bitter when I woke her from deep sleep
Her bag clutched like a pillow, an empty bottle at her feet
I told her to be leaving before the first train came
Then I sank into her dark eyes and I swear I heard them say
“There is no Lord to listen so there is no need to pray We’re born to begin dying and I’m well on my way”
A life of open winters was singing in her breath
The bottle was her companion, her saviour would be death
She seemed so lost and scattered that I started on my way
But I froze to hear her saying, “May you never feel the pain”
“When there is no Lord to listen so there is no need to pray When you’re born to begin dying and you find you’re well on your way”
My money found her open, but my pity met with scorn
She said she knew some rich men who needed it much more
Though fate had not been friendly she’d fought to find her way
And when the Reaper called her she’d have no debts to pay
“Cause there is no Lord to listen so there is no need to pray We’re born to begin dying and I’m well on my way”
I don’t know why old Edna was the one to cut my heart
I’d found so many others lying hopeless in the dark
She lifted up her bundle then she turned and walked away
I shivered, deep inside me I heard the voices say
“Is there no Lord to listen? Is there no need to pray? Are we born to begin dying? Am I well on my way?”
I can’t believe how it feels when you’re near me
So don’t you leave me this way
A summer love may be all time will give us
But let’s burn it away
So don’t you back up no more ‘cause I’m advancing
Come on and let your feelings flow
And like a warm summer tide
Love will leave our sweet bodies a-glow
So don’t let go just now summer lady Hold me close just now summer lady Oh no, oh no no, don’t let me go Yeah, don’t let go just now summer lady Love’s so right, right now summer lady Oh no, oh no no, don’t let me go
Well may be just state-of-mind like a friend says
But when September comes
You’ll be taking away summer memories
And I wanna be one
I got a feeling you feel like I’m feeling
Though sometimes you turn away
Well, nothing wrong with your heart being cautious
But lady, time is slipping away
So don’t let go just now summer lady Hold me close just now summer lady Oh no, oh no no, don’t let me go Yeah, don’t let go just now summer lady Love’s so right, right now summer lady Oh no, oh no no, don’t let me go
Don’t be afraid of what’s living inside you
Let the magic take control
Paint your memories bright with my loving
Leave me high, don’t leave me low
Feel the harmony singing around us
Share your morning light with me
Let me open your eyes with caresses
Kiss your hesitation free
So don’t let go just now summer lady Hold me close just now summer lady Oh no, oh no no, don’t let me go Yeah, don’t let go just now summer lady Love’s so right, right now summer lady Oh no, oh no no, don’t let me go
If I could be your Superman
If I could be your king
I’d conquer all the universe
Then give you everything
I’d write you lines of poetry
With love so deep it hurts
Then I would write you music
To lift up every verse
If I could be your Superman
Your one brave shining knight
If I could be a superhero
I’d use all my might
I’d never stop protecting you
I’d use my super powers
So I could be there with you
Every second, every hour, un huh
If I could, if I could If I could, if only I could If I could, if I could be Your Superman
If I could be your Superman
If I could be your king
If I could be a superhero
With a magic ring
I’d take on all your enemies
I’d prove I have no fears
I’d do whatever I had to
Just to have you near
If I could be your Superman
I’d be there with you now
Just like a superhero
I would find a way somehow
From coal I’d make you diamonds
Then I would stop the world
And fly up to the heavens
Proclaiming you’re my girl, uh huh
If I could, if I could If I could, if only I could If I could, if I could be If I could be Your Superman
Take off your coat, let down your hair
Pick out some music while I pour a liqueur
Let’s reminisce a while about the food and wine
I’ll light a fire and we’ll take it as a sign
Play with the buttons of my shirt
And lift your eyes
You look so gorgeous in that gown I have to sigh Is this love, is this love Is this love, love, love Is this love
There is the door, do we walk through
I want it all, but I need you to need it too
Might be you want to wait, I know he hurt you bad
And I hate to say it but a part of me is glad
‘Cause I’ve always wanted you
To be here just like this
So I could ask you with my caresses and my kiss Is this love, is this love Is this love, love, love Is this love
Will you nestle in my arms when daylight comes
Sunday morning lovers’ glow
Your phone rings, you take the call
I leave the room, don’t want to pressure you at all
I come back, the room is empty and so cold
My heart breaks, I think you’ve done as he has told
Then I see you lying naked in my bed
And I swear I hear the whispers in your head say Is this love, is this love Is this love, love, love Is this love
Burning down the highway on a good-looking Harley
Running from a lover’s goodbye
Leaning on the corners like he leaned on his lady
Leaning ‘til the sparks are flying
Tattoo on his arm is of the Reaper waiting
Waiting for somebody to cry
Oh no, Billy don’t care if he dies
He’s red-lining (Oh yeah, but he’s running free) He’s red-lining (Never be what you want him to be) He’s red-lining right out of control
Pulling on the throttle ‘til he can’t hear the voices
Screaming at him, burning inside
Everybody wondering what happened to Billy
He used to be his Momma’s pride
But all he got at school was a major in dealing
Good lays and a kilo of lies
Oh yeah, Billy’s a king of disguise
He’s red-lining (Oh yeah, but he’s running free) He’s red-lining (Never be what you want him to be) He’s red-lining right out of control
Billy hit the corner with the wind in his helmet
Screaming out a final farewell
Demon underneath him at a hundred and twenty
Carried Billy right into hell
Nobody’d believed he’d ever make it to thirty
Many thought he’d die any day
And oh yeah, Billy he’d liked it that way
He’s red-lining (Oh yeah, but he’s running free) He’s red-lining (Never be what you want him to be) He’s red-lining right out of control
