(THIS) BLEEDING HEART Nothing good can come from this You stole my heart when we stole a kiss Then you walked away and still you say You love me I read the books and I've seen the flicks The lonely hearts club take your picks And all I know is This ain't how it should be You should be here with me I need you near to me How can you walk away With everything that's dear to me This bleeding heart is torn apart I try and try to stop the tears Before they start They tell me all I need this time But time alone won't heal This bleeding heart of mine I still remember the things we said Those beautiful promises Dance in my head You and me, endlessly together Life was like an endless song 'Til a different melody Came along And now you're gone forever You should be here with me I need you near to me How can you walk away With everything that's dear to me This bleeding heart is torn apart I try and try to stop the tears Before they start They tell me all I need this time But time alone won't heal This bleeding heart of mine This bleeding heart of mine This bleeding heart of mine This bleeding heart of mine This bleeding heart of mine This bleeding heart of mine This bleeding heart of mine ROMANCE In the early morning just at daybreak I am faced with the path That I must make And I know, we can't be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever And in a dream, I turn for a moment I feel the joy, all that our love meant It hurts to know that We can't be together Not today, tomorrow or forever I can only dream now of New York and Paris And of the days in that Grand Moscow palace I won't forget, I will always remember Though you are gone Not just for now but forever We will never forget Hallelujah, hallelujah We will never forget Hallelujah, hallelujah We'll say goodbye my love Our hearts sadly yearning Can it be true, you won't be returning The way is set, we cannot be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever And I will look for you In every lonely place In every moment of sleep I will see your face But as I reach out and Try to touch your hand You're not there Oh God, how can I understand? And so farewell to a love so forsaken A sad hello to the steps fate has taken The cards are down, we cannot be together But I will treasure your memory forever The book is closed now We cannot be together But in our hearts we'll have Each other forever We'll live apart with love together forever We'll live apart but love together forever (PLEASE) TELL ME WHEN When will we have time To sit and share the simple things Moments of our own To listen to the song that our love sings It'll never be too late I love you far too much for that But time won't simply wait And we can't have one minute back When will we have time Time that we don't have to borrow Now is yours and mine We may not even see tomorrow Please tell me when Tell me when, tell me when Listen to the world Listen to the noise it makes Its journey never ends And it never stops to Count the hearts it breaks Let's leave it all behind And build our dreams on solid ground Our love needs nothing more Let's share what we've already found We've got to take the time We've got to make the time together Before the time takes us We won't have here and now forever Please tell me when Tell me when, tell me when We've got to take the time We've got to make the time together Before the time takes us We won't have here and now forever Please tell me when Tell me when, tell me when NO MATTER No matter the time, I offer my rhyme My whim and my fancy to you Not too big or too small There's nothing at all For our love that I wouldn't do You can't ask me too much A kiss or a touch Are yours in a moment I love you so much And the light of the moon That softens this tone Whispers your name And kindles the flame For I live to give and I breathe to please Your desire, your wish and your dream And all that I have is Just a step on the path To a pleasure and passion unseen And I won't give in and I won't give up There's a thankful cup on the darkest day For you gave me more Than my heart had hoped for And I love you, that's all I can say And I won't give in and I won't give up There's a thankful cup on the darkest day For you gave me more Than my heart had hoped for And I love you, that's all I can say COME TO ME I heard your heart was broken And I wanted you to know That I thought you might find trouble When you chose to let me go But I won't be the one To say I told you so I feel your pain and It's just the same as mine So come to me and I will comfort you I have you in my heart So it's the least that I can do I'll hold you in my arms Until the end of all your pain So come to me, be mine again Every day without you Is a torment without end I lost my everything I lost my lover and my friend So much of me had gone That I could never start again What could I do alone without you So come to me and I will comfort you I have you in my heart And it's the least that I can do I'll hold you in my arms Until the end of all your pain So come to me, let's love again Come to me, come to me Come to me, come to me I'll hold you in my arms Until the end of all your pain So come to me, let's love again Come to me, come to me Come to me, come to me I'll hold you in my arms Until the end of all your pain So come to me, come to me Come to me again
THIS HOUSE This house is empty, this house is sad I've got a feeling That something bad has happened here This house is lonely, this house is cold This house was young once Now it's just old and full of fear Once filled with laughter These silent walls Echo with love lost Until the silence falls again These rooms seem dead now There is no light Nowhere the romance That used to make my dark days bright Not for the first time this emptiness Someone is guilty But no-one's likely to confess They danced their dream here One summer night 'Til they became just Two more people fighting to be right What kind of evil can tempt a heart Into the torment that Only tears sweet love apart Once filled with laughter These silent walls Echo with love lost Until the silence falls again WALK AWAY You're another man's woman I'm another woman's man And we've taken this thing About as far as we can We're gonna hurt a lot of people If we don't do what we should So let's walk away baby And finish it for good Walk away And don't look back Walk away We've gotten way off track And I'm serious as a heart attack Walk away, walk away, walk away Now we both know that This is all wrong We're not just out of tune This is a real bad song Running and hiding In the middle of the night Just because it feels good Doesn't mean that it's right Walk away And don't look back Walk away We've gotten way off track And I'm serious as a heart attack Walk away, walk away, walk away If you wanna talk about it We can do it face to face We can meet around midnight In the usual space We can find ourselves a way To save a big disgrace Or walk away together To a brand new place Walk away And don't look back Walk away We're on a whole new track And I'm serious as a heart attack Walk away, walk away, walk away Walk away, walk away, walk away Walk away, walk away, walk away Walk away, walk away, walk away EYES (THE GIRL IN THE PURPLE DRESS) The girl in the purple dress Is on the tv again Trying to sell me stuff that I don't need Her friend became a princess Not so very long ago So she's trying hard to make me believe Sitting here in my loneliness She begs and she pleads As if she, or it, will meet all my needs But I won't make the call Just to see how it goes ‘Cause I'm too afraid That she might say no She really needs to talk to me She wants me on the phone And she doesn't care that I'm sitting here all alone Just call the toll-free number And she'll be my friend again 'Til the money's gone And the conversation ends So, here I am again Can't take my eyes off the screen She's waiting while I dream and obsess It's been a long, long time Since she was mine Since the day I bought her That purple dress And I don't have to look too hard to see She's got what it takes Her eyes helped me make some big mistakes Day and night the memories Only haunt my emptiness She knows my name The girl in the purple dress You were mine, we did our time We had our fun Now you belong to everyone And anyone To everyone And anyone RESPIRO TU AMOR No importa saber el tiempo y lugar Te entrego mi forma de amar Cade sueno que hay en tu corazon Yo quiero hacer realidad Un beso, una flor, caricias de amor Te esculpo una estrella en el corazon Y la luz de la luna que envuelve tu piel Susurran tu nombre y encienden mi set Yo vivo por ti y respiro tu amor Ya tus suenos son parte de mi Mi forma de ser, mi passion por amar Son tuyas por siempre hasta el fin No dejare que llueva en ti Tu eres toda la luz que brilla en mi Ahora tengo mucho mas de lo que imagine Tue res todo lo gue quiero tener No dejare que llueva en ti Tu eres toda la luz que brilla en mi Ahora tengo mucho mas de lo que imagine Tue res todo lo gue quiero tener LITTLE GUY Little guy, now you've made me cry I wasn't ready to say goodbye And so I'm writing this lullaby To let you know that I love you I won't try to understand I'll close my eyes and hold your hand And I won't forget All the things we planned 'Cause I know I'll see you again It hurts so deeply inside my heart We hardly had a chance to start I held you close for three short years And I need your smile to dry my tears So little guy, you're in heaven now I'll have to learn to get by somehow And maybe time will ease the pain But without you life won't be the same It hurts so deeply inside my heart We hardly had a chance to start' I held you close for three short years And I need your smile to dry my tears So farewell for now, my precious one Dance with the angels, the moon and the sun You'll be here in my heart Until that great day comes And we are together We are together We are together Again
