(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
