THERE I STAND

I NEVER SAW YOU

WATCH OUT FOR THE TIME 

FAST OR SLOW

AS YOU WANTED IT TO GO

YOU EMBRACED THE SUN

AS YOUR OWN

 SEE IT GOING

ALL YOUR WAY

 CHORUS:

I SHOULD GO

BUT THERE I STAND

I STAY

WAITING FOR A CHANCE

TO SAY

ALL THAT'S BEEN

ON MY MIND

OPEN UP MY HEART

I THINK YOU'LL FIND

IT WAS ME

ALL ALONG

 

BY YOUR SIDE

I FEEL QUITE STRONGLY

LIKE I BELONG

FELT LIKE TIME WAS WASTING

TASTING DEFEAT

REACHING FOR AN END

COMING UP INCOMPLETE 

NO FRIEND UNTIL YOU

THE DAYS WERE ALL SO LONG

UNTIL YOU CAME ALONG 

 

  

LIFE BEING KIND

 

LIFE BEING KIND

LIKE A KITE

WITHOUT A TAIL

GIVEN TO THE WIND

IT SAILS

TOWARDS THE SUN

TOO LATE TO RESCIND 

THE THINGS I

NEVER MEANT TO SAY

BUT SAID THEM ANYWAY

 

TRYING TO MAKE SENSE

OF IT ALL

STAND UP STRAIGHT

AND NEVER FALL 

TAKE YOUR HAND

IN MINE

SO I CAN'T SAY

I'M ALONE 

 

JUST LIFE

BEING KIND

MUST BE SOMETHING  

WE CAN FIND 

GIVE IT MEANING

GIVE IT A CHANCE 

BREATHE LIFE INTO LOVE 

TAKE THE TIME

I KNOW I'D GIVE YOU MINE

 

NO CONTROL, NO LIMITS 

HOW COULD I KNOW 

HOW FAR THAT WE CAN GO

IS IT FATE

OR LIFE BEING KIND 

IS IT OUT OF OUR HANDS 

WAIT TO SEE

WHERE IT LANDS  

 

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

 

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

WATCHING THE STARS 

BY MYSELF

NO WITNESSES 

TO ANY GLORY

I MIGHT SEE

NOT A BIT OF CHARM

NO ONE TO INDULGE 

WHAT I FEEL 

I FEEL ALONE 

 

CHORUS

 

ONCE IN AWHILE 

I LEAVE MYSELF

TO WONDER

 HOW ROADS COULD LEAD

TO THIS

NO ONE TOLD ME 

HOW MUCH I COULD RISK 

NOT TO MENTION

I WOULD MISS 

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU 

MY FEELINGS RISE

FROM SOMEWHERE

DEEP INSIDE

THEN FALL 

LIKE A BLACK NIGHT 

LEAVING ME IN DARK

LEAVING ME IN DOUBT 

 

THE WHOLE IDEA WAS

I WOULD CAST THEM OUT 

ANY NOTION I COULD FAIL

WOULD BE PUT TO REST 

I'M TRYING HARD 

I'M DOING MY BEST 

OF COURSE I MISS 

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

I FOUND A LOCK 

KNEW I HAD THE KEY 

I'D ALWAYS PICTURED 

HOW IT COULD BE 

PAINTED IN POSITIVE LIGHT 

BETTER THAN GOOD

MORE THAN ALRIGHT 

 

AND YET THE NIGHT

NOT YET SEEN

HOLDS PROMISE MY DEAR

 SO LOVE

KEEPS ON DRAWING NEAR  

PASSION TO SHAPE MY FATE 

MAYBE ITS NOT HERE

BECAUSE ITS JUST LATE

LOVE TAKES ITS SWEET TIME

I KNOW ITS TAKING MINE

 

IN THE GARDEN ALONE

DREAMING DRIFTING

IN THE SUN

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME HERE

ALL I WANTED WAS

TO HEAR YOU SAY

A PERFECT NIGHT 

 A PERFECT DAY 

YOU WORK IT OUT

ITS ALL OKAY 

DREAMING DRIFTING 

THE MIST IS LIFTING 

THE SKY IS CLEARING 

THE SUNRISE IS 

CREEPING CLOSER 

ANGEL WOULD A KISS 

OTHERWISE EVEN STOLEN

GO MISSED 

 

 

 

 

  

REAL

JUST TO HAVE YOU

NEAR

TO ME

JUST TO LET IT BE

SEE A LITTLE LOVE

ITS BEEN SO LONG 

CAN YOU BRING ME

THE SUN

BRING ME

LOVE LOST

 DRIVE, DESIRE  

INTO A FLAME

 

MAKE IT REAL

AS REAL CAN BE

UNTIL THERE'S 

NO ONE ELSE 

BUT YOU AND ME

KISSED BY THE SUN AND

BLESSED BY THE MOON 

THE MORNING FINDS YOU

IN MY ARMS 

 

A DIAMOND YOU SHINE

A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT

IN TIME

JUST TO MAKE YOU

MINE

OPEN YOUR HEART

AND LET IT POUR

ON ME

MAKE IT REAL 

AS REAL CAN BE

WAITING

WANTING

CALLING UP

SUMMER SUN

I'VE HAD IT AGAIN

WITH WINTERS

 LONG REACH

PULL ME FROM THE ICE

PUT ME WHERE

THE SUN FEELS NICE

 

AWAY FROM THE 

ICE AND SNOW

LEAVE THE SUMMER SUN

BACK AWAY REAL SLOW

I'M WINTER WORN 

I NEED A CHARGE

CABIN FEVER

IS LOOMING LARGE

ALWAYS IN THE COLD

ITS GROWING OLD

GETTING TIRED

OH SO COLD

 

WARM SWEET WINDS

CAN'T BE FAR 

LOOSE THE LID

FROM THE JAR

LET SPRING OUT

GO FAST AND FAR

COVER ME WITH

GOLDEN LIGHT

WINTER WORN

STILL DRESSED IN WHITE

 

WHERE IS MY WAY

 

WHERE IS MY WAY

FEB

 

SAILED BY

WITHOUT A GLANCE

EMPTY YEARS

WITHOUT A CHANCE

RAINBOWS FEW AND FAR

SILENT LONELY

AN ONLY STAR

WAITING FOR A SHOW

THAT NEVER COMES

 

 chorus

 

SOMETIMES LIFE

CAN TURN AWAY

ANYTHING

YOU COULD SAY

WOULDN'T CHANGE

A THING

WHERE IS MY WAY

HOW MANY MORE DUES

DO I HAVE TO PAY

 THE STARS

ARE GONNA SHINE FOR ME

THE HEAVENS

ARE GONNA FAVOR ME

AND SO IT WILL BE

HIGHER

I CAN SEE

 

THEN I WON'T FEEL SO ALONE

I WON'T BE ALONE

SHED MY

INSECURITY

TEAR DOWN A WALL

SEE THE FLOWERS

ON THE OTHER SIDE

NOW THE MARGINS

NOT SO WIDE

THE BEAUTY I'VE ESPIED

ITS BEEN LOVELY

IN THE SUN

JUST TO SHARE IT ALL

WITH SOMEONE

Just to share it with someone
