If there were perfect words to sing
A perfect song beyond imagining
If there were colours only we could see
And somewhere in our hearts
Where only we could be
Groping through the night
Pretending all those things were mine
A heart with wings
Without someone to make it fly
Someone to be inside
Part of somebody's life
I know that it's you
CH
Breathe on me softly with your smile
It's not a race that is run
In each other's eyes
I see reflections of a life
A life that is only begun
FEMALE
Walking corridors of emptiness
Without a door to close them all
And then forget
Standing in the rain that purifies
Reaching for a hand
To cross the water line
Pedalling so fast
Scared to get off at last
Holding out a hand
The one to call it mine
Someone to be inside
Part of somebody's life
It had to be you
I don't need your picture on my window sill
I don't need a love song to say I love you still
I dry the tears, they can't wash away
A love the sands of time can't change
CH
I reach for the sky, my love
My spirit waits for your touch
Now is the time
This is my sign
To keep us together
Reach out and fly, my love
Love never died, my love
You can believe,
This time the dream is now and forever
I count the times I tried to say to you
How can I live at all
Is living's without you
You walk beside me, love will guide me
With your heart and soul beside me
CH
Love gives, love can take
Love has the power, love is the danger
I thought I loved and lost
But now I've lost the pain
And I live to love again
Fly my love
Reach for the sky, my love
Reach out and fly,
Love never died
The dream is forever
Fly my love
Fly my love
Reach for the hand
Reach for the dream of forever
Fly with me
Cry with me
Die with me
Fly, fly
People tell me that love is unkind
Let me tell you love is deaf, dumb and blind
Wouldn't let me have a chance to make it
Like it used to be
Like it used to be
When you're a little in love with someone
And turn around and find love is gone
Can anybody live without the way it used to be
It was supposed to be
Caroline, why did you have to call time?
Can't make sense of this or my life
Touching you only in my mind?
We had love, things to do and hope for
The future was spoken for
(Shut by death's door)
You wanted this for the rest of your life
And you had it
We reached the top of the mountain
And that's where you're at
You got off your wheel
And on to our mission
It was real and we made our decision
And you felt what you gave up
Thinking you could feel...
One vision
Please don't ask me not to cry a little
Please don't say I shouldn't die a little
(Don't tell me that you want me to)
Caroline, you left me and there's something wrong about it
No use trying to sing a song about it
Or getting filled up with hate
That losing you was my fate
'Cos life has to go on without it
(I'll try not to doubt it)
People say maybe it's for a reason
But turning my back on you is treason
So I won't think about the what ifs
Or that the other side of the mountain's my cliff
This road is flat, the future's untapped
That's my test
But when I look up at the sky at night
And see an extra star that's shining
Brighter than the rest.....
It's you
Please don't ask me to wait a little longer
Please don't ask me to get a little stronger
(It's not something I can do)
Caroline, nothing can bring you back
But I'll live my life to make you proud
And value that
Caroline, you were a great and special gift
To say I loved you's not the half of it
But we can keep that and live with it
And I'll hold you in the arms of my heart
Where you'll always fit
Love goes on forever
1.
Snow's falling outside
Each flake a part of life
That turns into a memory as it falls.
When you've lost as much as this
Sometimes you wonder if you ever really had it at all
Dreaming in colour, living in black and white
Running so fast so you don't ever have to realise
You're paralyzed, you're paralyzed
CH
Over and over and over and over again
When it's cruel and unkind
Maybe it's to remind you
That you're still alive
And anyway, it's not having what you want
It's wanting what you have today
2.
Snow's stopped falling
I lift up my eyes
To be alive and breathe you in the air
The space you left will be a house
Where I can pass through the walls
And hang my pictures there
And you'll be a story that lives in my heart
And I will live so I won't hear you say:
"If you suffer, my love, I will die again
I will die again"
I found a situation
So last night I let my life go
Now my friends say maybe
I must be kinda crazy
Getting that close
But it's hopeless
So all I've got to say is
Take me apart
But don't tango on my heart
I walk around in a daydream
It's unreal
I can talk but I can't hear what I say
I just keep playing
The song they kept on playing
When I held you close
And I knew
Oh I knew you would
Take me apart
Maybe tango on my heart
Don't stop killing me now
Let me wrap myself
Around your finger now
When I shut my eyes
It gets me high
Of all the girls and all the lives
And you walked in to mine
And I'm flying, flying, flying
Take me apart
Don't tango on my heart
Don't bring me down
Just spin me round and round
and round and round and
Take me apart
Just tango on my heart
Take me to town
Let me go down for the third time while you
Tango on my
Tango on my
Tango on my heart
etc
Life never deals a card that's straight
On a sixpence, life can turn away
Taken from me in a rush
There's no thing I wouldn't swap for us.
There's darkness where the light should shine down
On the two of us all wrapped around
But you're still shining in my mind
And there's life wherever there's a heart to find
In the shade of a tree
Where you carved my name beside yours in a heart
At the end of a carefree summer's day
Take my hand, lead the way
Forever I will trust you as my guide
Eyes to see, along a different road
"Light scatters itself everywhere
Hold the moment while the rays are there
Don't let the colours fade to grey
Or let tomorrow be your yesterday."
Fear's an unfamiliar place
Strength is lacking in my will of late
Always an ending to a book
Who blocked the path that we once took?
It's your fault, why did you have to do this to me?
What did I do that was so bad for me and you?
You were my tree, now you're gone
Left me all alone to face the world
Flying blind, but with you inside
So I stand by the tree
Where you carved my name beside yours in a heart
At the end of a carefree summer's day
You take my hand, lead the way
Forever I will trust you as my guide
Along a different road
I feel the ground we walked under my feet
The field we sowed with love but never reaped
I walk with a heart that's silent but still beats
You left this place - but not me
'Cos I still feel you in the air I breathe
And I still touch the body of the dream
That's alive - at the top of the mountain high
Lighting up where I go
'Cos you and I
Had something more than a lifetime can buy
And I won't stop 'cos I know the other side
Beyond the waterfall of tears I cried
Won't be an ordinary, ordinary life
If I'd never loved, I'd never have cried
But that's not the way we lived or died
So I won't curse the empty sea where I cast my net
Or curse the sun that rises
Where your last sun set
'Cos the mountain we climbed
Looks clearer from the valley where I spend my time
And you don't need to come back with the tide
'Cos I'm our sail and you're the rudder deep inside
BREAK
I know we look at the same stars
Feeling so close but so far
Every night when I close my eyes
I don't feel the distance of the sky
Believe me, you're always as close as my heart
SOLO
You're alive - at the top of the mountain high
Lighting up where I go
'Cos you and I
Had something more than a lifetime can buy
And I won't stop 'cos I know the other side
Beyond the waterfall of tears I cried
Won't be an ordinary, ordinary life
Everybody's building the big ships and boats
Some are building monuments, others jotting down notes
Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
everybody's gonna jump for joy
Oh come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinns
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinns.
Oh you know I like to do just like the rest
You know I like my sugar sweet
but guarding fumes and making haste
You know it ain't my cup of meat
Everybody's out the trees, feeding
pigeons all under the limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
the pigeons gonna run to him
Oh come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinns
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinns.
A cat's meow and a cow's moo to you
know I, I could recite them all
Just tell me where it hurts you, honey,
and I'll tell you who to call
Nobody can get asleep, there's
someone on everybody's toes
When Quinn the Eskimo gets here
everybody's gonna want to doze
Oh come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinns
Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinns.
Get down to Rwanda
Try and lend a hand to
Get with Umaganda
Be counted and stand up
Rebrand it
Don't propaganda it
Forget the trouble and strife
Bring hope and new life
Come to teach, outreach
[Get a safe seat]
Spray Deet
Still get bitten under the sheets
Eat goat meat
Show everyone how to speak
Just like me, your MP
And my friend here who's a Sikh!
Jaldi jaldi
Down in Kigali
Talking business but not entirely
Work hard, play hard
The Party that parties
(Stick to the Primus, lay off Waragi)
We're business people, real Svengalis
Business is easy watching us talk
Just cut hair on the sidewalk
Cram pigs in vans and sell pork
Buy a cab so you don't have to walk
Or get into the paper bag scene
Or exfoliation and crème
To make your friends look like me!
Tell the village to get wise, mobilise
It's the economy, stupid
Save up to buy a truck
You don't know what to do with
Next year you'll be working for Growfin
Minecofin
Key to the latrine!
"Did you look into the toilet and it's clean?"
Figure out the cash flow
Get it on a slide show
Press go, presto
Here's the chorus, here we go!
CH
Umubano, umubano
Can you fix it?
Yes we can-o
Every woman, every man-o
Umubano!
Back at the K flat
Talking about this, talking about that
Plenty of words in a sentence is where it's at
Is it the Mutzig?
"No, we're always like that!"
It's communication, it's great
Sometimes it resonates
Let me translate:
That's when we tell it straight
Then we sell it by the hundredweight
We can pump more gas than what's in that lake!
Everyone's an entrepreneur
Except the French who don't have a word for it [for sure]
Lucky it's not French here no more
Or we'd never get Chinese or Indian to go!
Build it and they will come
When the feasibility study gets done
Everybody brings someone
Chinese, AID, even lazy Indians can come
We could be like Singapore
Streets with no gum
Country can't go to the dogs
There ain't none!
In the meantime, have fun
Down at the Novo
Do the NGO's
They volunteer so grab one
Get some skin in the game like Joe
"Everything's all go
Ain't lost MY mojo!
And don't come here whining and bleating
Nothing wrong with a good beating!"
So, get serious
It's the greatest show on earth...
Period.
When I wake up in the morning
Too bloody early for me
I know what love can bring
I know what's coming for me
She call it morning glory
It's enough to make me sing
If there's a better place
I've never been there
Just another perfect day
Caroline...
My little ray of sunshine
Love you 'til the sea runs dry
I'll be a grape, you can be my vine
I wanna be a pig in your sty
I know a song called Silent Night
Won't sing that 'cos the window's open wide
Contacts out and her ear plugs in
If I'm talking in my sleep
Making no sense to you and me
I'm really only trying to sing
Where hearts are grey
We've never been there
Living in our passion play
Caroline...
Kiss me if you feel inclined
I got a knot only you can untie
If I was acid you'd be alkaline
You can be you and I can be I!
Caroline...
Skin smoother than a porcupine
If I was paint, you'd emulsify
Give you two coats, leave you out to dry
To see you I'd swim the Serpentine
You taste better than turpentine
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
For your contact lens I'll be your saline
When your head aches I'll be your Asperin
When you get chapped I'll be your Vaseline
If I was slitty-eyed I'd be your concubine
Sing you a song for the Harlequins
Love you higher than a satellite
You're better than bacon without the rind
Out of you I see a sun that shines
Stick with you, baby through thick and thin,
Caroline!
Holly it's late
Now I can sing what I meant to say
As I flattened your plants
And how you took my breath to a different place
Along with my pants
I guess we should have had decaffeinated
Maybe we'd have waited for the right time of day
But on the road to heaven you don't stop halfway
Holly you could have left your heart in the cab
You didn't need to leave your phone
Felt like I had your life in my hands
Or something at the end of the rainbow
Some Southern belles, they leave their handkerchiefs on the ground
Well, I guess it's the i-phone now
But I'd have come back to you anyhow
Anyhow
Set me free
Won't be something I sing
Alacrity is something I bring
To you and me
Holly, I might never stand on my head
But I'll sing naked by the river instead
And there's something I want you to have [it's me!]
And I hope it's what you wanted
Holly, we put the world to rights
As we laughed out stomachs tight
And if I could be under your skylight
I'd be satisfied
Singing songs for you and me
I met a girl
She opened up my eyes in wonder
Now I'm in a different world
Where everything's a little more than ordinary
'Cos she had a little secret there inside
A little formula for life
She said happiness was A over E
It worked for her and it would work for me
I met a girl
She told me she was my adventure
If there's a different place from this world
She must have come from somewhere close to there
'Cos there is a life
We could share together in time
Where the secret that was A over E
Turns into you over me
I know it's you over me
Only time will tell
How long never ending's meant to be
But I could live under her spell
If she's a witch I've never seen a witch as beautiful as she
It's a magical ride
Music and witchery
We're flying with the pigs in the sky
There's no hocus pocus stirring in my sty
My only formula's the love inside me
I'm your wooden horse and you can ride me
And I will set a course with you astride me
Only you over me
It's not just A over E
It's just you over me
1. A perfect love is mine
But I'm dying inside
It's not enough to close my eyes
And picture my lover in life
Cos I've got a picture of you
But dreams won't do
Now all of my dreams have come true
2. Please tiptoe on my heart tonight
Real slow - cos it might explode
And stop me shaking
When I feel your naked touch
As we get so close
And take me up to the place
Where it's just the two of us
And you say I'm beautiful
(And you're so beautiful)
Ch: You know I'm still so in love with you
Caught in the fantasy I'm floating through
When it gets hard, we can work it out
Cos you can be strong, girl
And I'll be strong
And I'll keep a hold on your heart
Break:
Still a million words to say
A million nights to come walking our way
Still a million songs to sing
A million moments to call our own
3. Please don't tiptoe on my heart tonight
Let me explode
Let me light up your life tonight
I wanna feel your naked touch
And whisper you're beautiful
You're so beautiful
Ch: You know I'm still so in love with you
Caught in the fantasy I'm floating through
When it gets hard, we can work it out
Cos you can be strong, girl
And I'll be strong
And I'll keep a hold on your heart
Ch.2 You know I love you cos you're so damn good
Cos you're my fantasy - it's understood
When it gets hard, I find out
What sets you apart
And we can be strong
And keep a hold of our heart
1. I cried alone at night
Cried so many tears
I made my clothes shrink at least one size
And left alone I tried
To make you disappear
But I could only put you in disguise
Ooh - falling for you
Was such a disgrace
That I ever let you have my number
Take your pretty face
Far enough away to mend my blunder
I won't let you take me under
I'll get over you - over you
2. I used to see your face in every pretty thing
I saw inside a fashion magazine
But now I sit and wonder
How I very nearly had a
Narrower than narrow escape
Ooh - I'm just passing through
A smile on my face
I don't need to stretch to see tomorrow
Finding my space
Where I don't need to beg, to fee me
You're outside my head, believe me
Cos I'm over you - over you
How does it feel
When you look in my direction
A little unreal?
Now you're a total disconnection
1. I've been sitting here for so long
Taking all the pain
Tearing at my heart
How could a love that started so strong
Turn around
And break us apart
You won't believe me but I swear I tried
To stop the hurt that's building up inside
Now what you don't want to listen to
Is what I'm asking you, but
Ch: God only knows
How much I want you
Back again
But I can't walk the road
Where all the bridges are in flames
So it goes
Let me go - wave and softly
Set me free
(Set me free)
2. I don't want to make you lonely
Crying through the night
With nobody there
But you don't touch me any more
Than you touch the phone
Or your book or your cigarette
You won't believe me but I swear it's true
There wasn't anyone, nobody but you
But I've got to look into the mirror too
That's why I'm asking you, but Ch
You won't believe me but I swear I tried
To stop the hurt that's building up inside
Now what you don't want to listen to
Is what I'm asking you, but
Ch
Just another guy
Waking up to another bad trade off
Between the sheets and a better life
What kinda fool am I
Trying to guess what I'm so afraid of
When I've got me on my side
My true love story's turning into a fable
I think I might skip the end
Turn my head and that table
Ch 1:
Hey you, little boy blue
Were you trying to break my heart now?
[Yeah yeah yeah yeah]
Oh, you, wanna touch and go
For a little ride
Think you've got everything
Well I just can't see anything
That I'd ever ever ever wanna buy
Just another day
Just another day paid off
My investment's doing fine
Now I've stripped away
Everything I thought I was made of
I've got something inside
Don't need pretending when I sit at the table
I've got my happy ending
Just me and my fable
Oh - no doubt about it
Oh - I can live without it
Oh - don't need an answer
Cos there isn't any question in my mind
Ch 2:
Hey you, little boy blue
Here's a little head start now
Oh, look at them go for a little ride
Said you've got everything
But you're just some bad medicine
I'm not taking
Just to keep me alive
1. I look at strangers
Strangers look at me
And I look back and wonder
What's in them
But not in me
I'm in danger
You said that you knew me
So I opened up
But could you see inside of me?
Or hear my prayer
Or touch me there
Or clean the window to my heart?
I'm bleeding - somebody heal me
I'm screaming - somebody hear me out
Hear me out, hear me out
2. People smiling
I wonder if they'd smile
If someone took away their love
And all their love had died?
I was blinded
Staring at a smile
That tried to kill me
But leave me alive
Without a prayer
No one to touch me there
Or clean the window to my heart
I'm bleeding - somebody heal me
I'm screaming - somebody hear me out
Hear me out, hear me out
Break: People around me
No one takes my hand
My thoughts surround me
My only friends
The party's going on
But it's all inside my head
I'm bleeding - somebody heal me
I'm screaming - I'm screaming
Out, screaming out
Screaming
I'm screaming - someone believe me
I'm screaming - somebody lead me out
Lead me out, lead me out
1. Our love is broken, the lines are down
Words all spoken, the fire's out
My heart's stopped weeping, but your heart is crying so loud
Ch:
I don't know why you can't take it like a man
Although I tried, I can't get you to understand
It's killing you, but you'll see
There's more to life than me
Though you feel you can't go on
I don't know why
2. Keep my picture you held from the start
Keep hold of the memories now we're apart
Hold me forever and ever alone in the arms of your heart
Ch
Believe me, you're killing me
How long did you think I could last
Believe me, you're giving me
A future that's only a part of the past
I found a situation
So last night I let my life go
Now my friends say maybe
I must be kinda crazy
Getting that close
But it's hopeless
So all I've got to say is
Take me apart
But don't tango on my heart
I walk around in a daydream
It's unreal
I can talk but I can't hear what I say
I just keep playing
The song they kept on playing
When I held you close
And I knew
Oh I knew you would
Take me apart
Maybe tango on my heart
Don't stop killing me now
Let me wrap myself
Around your finger now
When I shut my eyes
It gets me high
Of all the girls and all the lives
And you walked in to mine
And I'm flying, flying, flying
Take me apart
Don't tango on my heart
Don't bring me down
Just spin me round and round
and round and round and
Take me apart
Just tango on my heart
Take me to town
Let me go down for the third time while you
Tango on my
Tango on my
Tango on my heart
etc
1. They say a heart must feel it all
Know every rise and every fall
To earn the right to stand
In sunlight
Someday the sun will always shine
Deep down inside this heart of mine
And it will be my time
Rivers keep flowing
Cold winds keep blowing
Inside me
I walk alone
Hard rains keep falling
Lost souls keep calling
So lonely
I hope I find - love in time
Love in time
2. You know a man can always choosev
Love has its rhythm and its blues
I hope it's there for me
I know the mountain's hard to climb
But there's a place that I must find
Where love will live a life
I hope I find it
Shining somewhere
Somewhere out there
There will be love in time - in time
Rivers keep flowing
Cold winds keep blowing
Inside me
I walk alone
Hard rains keep falling
Lost souls keep calling
So lonely
I hope I find - love in time
Love in time
1. The city shined that night on me and that special girl
You know, the kind you're always dreaming of
Tall and young, well a little younger than me and that's what this song is all
about
I said hey, waiter bring me my wine
But he brought some spirit I hadn't drunk since 69
All the same I said here's looking at you kid
But it tasted strange and made me scratch my head and think
Now how was I to know, how could I see
That it's not just a feeling coming over me
Ch 1:
Garcon, garcon - my drink tastes funny now there's something wrong
Garcon, garcon - where's this spirit coming from?
Garcon, garcon - monsieur it's that lady there
Where?!
Garcon - that's no lady that's my
2. I knew that turned down smile and those steely eyes
And that chewing sound as she said
If sadder that sad, really sad, was a place then you'd live there
And left me wondering if I'd ever have more sense
Than I've got hair on my head
And how sometimes things just fall into your lap
But me, it was my dinner instead
And I watched the young girl fly
As I cleaned up all the food on my fly
Ch 2:
Garcon, garcon - my shirt's all stained and my baby's all gone
Garcon, garcon - hey can you tell me what went wrong
Garcon, garcon - monsieur but you've got this song
Garcon, garcon - well since you put it that way...
1. You are fire, I am water
But I could never put you out
And you could turn me into mist
And would disappear no doubt
In stories of wonder
And the world you turn around
I could feel I'm drowning
If that's what it's all about
But you give me vision
So let me give you my sound
And let us turn our minds on
Looking at amazing you
Are you listing, I'm amazing too
And maybe I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
Ch:
Deeper and deeper inside you
I'm not ever coming out
You're the fire in my life
You are the difference, no doubt
Between living and dying
Living and dying inside
2. You've got a room with pictures
That could take my breath away
I've got a room with candles
We can't blow out
Cos we're breathless just the same
And this song is your secret something
No one can sell or buy
Leave the golden dragons on display
You've got a wooden horse to ride
Cos you told me I've got you
But you don't know how
Don't know how I got through
But now the layers are all down
Now we're looking from the inside out
To where you say "you got me"
And I've got you
And I'm falling
I'm falling Ch
3. You are fire, I am water
But I will never put you out
And you won't turn me into mist
And I won't disappear, no doubt
1. I got to thinking
Just the other day
If Camden and the flat we shared
Looks different today
I still smile when I hear
That bed still squeaking in my ear
The beer stains on the wall
And all tomorrow's parties
You liked dancing - I liked to play
Reabok-a-rebop saxophone
Tramp and Jo Jo's Jazz Cafe
Meet new people at the disco
Love on the green
Two hearts beating on the step machine
And life rolled into one day - and
Ch 1: Everyone's your friend
All around the City
And Everything is beautiful
When you're young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds
And there's just so much to do
But the best thing about London Town
Is me and you
2. We crossed the river
(Now) you don't dance anymore
And I can't play while I'm away
We got loaded - you got bored
We got a house - it's so nice
To SW your money -
So why did you go?
But life's a gas - and if you ask
What are you doing Sunday (I say)
One and one - can be fun
(Look out - there's a monster coming)
And I can't touch my toes
I've forgotten how this song goes
And there's a saxaphone
At the bottom of the River Wandle
Ch 2: But everyone's my friend
Everyone's my buddy
They're riding in my car
They're trying to help me spend my money
And I could buy a diamond
Hold it up so I could see
That the best thing around London Town
Is me and me
3. I got to thinking
Just the other day
If I'd learnt to dance
Would it be different today?
Cos it's raining, it's pouring
God I hate this weather
Put me on the bus
To where the dance goes on forever
CH 3: And everyone's your friend
All around the City
Everything is beautiful
And we're still young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds
And there's just so much to do
And the best thing about London Town's
Still me and you
Sally took my last words into the night
Leaving my emotions stopped in the half-light
Stopped in the half-light, Sally's there shining bright
I should've known you never hold hands with a jewel
She'll take you for a fool
As she marches another boy, fast toy
All around the pool that I'm crying into
Thought we were strangers in love
Perfect strangers
Trying to arrange for a love
To invade us
All around the world
People say the word
Falling for the girl
And coming out and saying it first
I could feel the moment slip out of my hands
People tell me Sally's started living in London now
I can feel my fingers touch the dial
Trying to touch that smile
And bring it back somehow
People say she cut a dash standing in the hall
Walking to the door on the arm of an American boy with a new toy
And a big American car
She was a stranger to love
Perfect stranger
Just re-arranging for love
To evade her
All around the world
People say their love is true
But I just found a girl
Who couldn't say it too
Just another nearly-made-it filed away
All around the world
People say the word
Falling for the girl
And coming out and saying it first
All around the world
People tell me Sally's damn good now
And in another world
I made it come true
Playing a game of chance
Wondering if our luck could ever last?
We had it all, bounced off the walls
And landed on a question just the same
Until the time
We locked each other in our eyes
And realised that we could play a
different game
CH
It’s called you and I
The world we untied
Floating inside
Our disbelieving minds
Like making stars collide
This kind of storyline
Never happens in life
This side of miracles
Colour
You’re the colour of life
And I put music in your eyes
One for each other
You’re my picture
And I will paint you in song
And we’ll hang pictures in the air
And we could take a chance
And make those pictures dance
And dream of dreams
And write our story there
Can't help but time goes by
And time can help to dry the tears I cried
But I can't forget you
You're in the place I set you
And we can travel in my mind
From where I'm standing to the end of time
From the tears I drowned in
To the top of the mountain where you lie
CH
Hey, Caroline
How can I cry?
We had the time of our lives
And never said goodbye
Hey, Caroline
Love never dies
I don't need you picture on my wall
To know that we had, we had it all
Your love looks down
Warm and golden brown
I don't need to hold you in my arms
When I can hold you in my heart
I could never give more
If love is what I live for, I'm alive
And I will smile because it's true
Every smile belongs to you
I’ve tried to hold these feelings in
For such a long time now
They won’t seem to leave me
And they really hurt somehow
I watch the sunset in your eyes
I paint a picture of a perfect life
But it’s not easy to say
So I pack my loving things away
CH: How do you fall in love so deeply
Never be able to let it go
How can a love be full of laughter
Never be able to feel it flow
The questions left unanswered
Are tearing me apart
The feelings that I hold
Are crying in my heart
I hold your picture in my mind
Feel it close to me
Your heart so bright, your words so true
All of this I see
I watch the sunset, see your eyes
I paint a picture of a perfect life
But today is not the day
So I pack my troubled thoughts away
CH
I’ll hold on to these feelings
As the years pass me by
Hold on to them deeply
And ever let them die
