THE DAY WAS PASSING SLOW

 

THE SUN WAS STILL LOW IN THE SKY

 

DO YOU REMEMBER

 

THE THINGS THAT WE DID

 

THE AIR STILL AND WARM

 

ENCHANTED AND CHARMED

 

YOU HAD ME HYPNOTIZED

 

CLOSER TO ME

 

I COULDN'T SEE THE HARM

 

SEEMS YOU TOOK ME SOMEWHERE 

 

I'VE NEVER BEEN

 

YOU PRESENTED QUESTIONS 

 

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D NEED TO KNOW

 

 

 

COULD I STAY WITH YOU

 

NEVER MIND THE WEIGHT

 

TO COMMIT BEYOND THE DAY

 

DON'T WORRY  DON'T HOLD BACK

 

ON THE THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO SAY

 

IF I GIVE MY HEART TO YOU

 

TELL ME YOU WON'T TURN AWAY

 

FROM EVERYTHING THIS DAY IS

 

WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE SKY

 

ANYWHERE  YOU AND I  COULD GO TOGETHER

 

 

 

DON'T KNOW WHY  I'D NEVER SEEN

 

THE KIND OF LIGHT IN YOUR EYES

 

I KNOW THAT IT COULD SAVE ME

 

WE LOST OURSELVES

 

 IN EACH OTHERS DESIGNS 

 

UNAWARE OF THE TIME

 

AS WE UNWIND IN THE SUN

 

AS THE EVENINGS GLOW

 

BEGINS TO SHOW

 

YOU'VE GOT ME HERE

 

IN A PLACE WITH YOU

 

I NEVER KNEW

 

UNTIL YOU SHOWED ME

 

TOLD ME THE THINGS YOU SAID

 

WE'RE ALL SO LOVELY

 

IN THE DYING DAY

 

AND THERE'S JUST NO WAY

 

I WANT IT TO END

 

GO BACK TO THE START AGAIN

 

JUST TO MAKE SURE ITS REAL 

FALLEN EMPIRE

THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THINGS 

 

I NEVER SAW

 

SIGNS I COULDN'T SEE

 

NO ONE LEFT TO TELL ME

 

HOW EVERYTHING SHOULD BE

 

ALL I HAVE IS MEMORY

 

A CRUMBLING EMPIRE ALL AROUND ME

 

GROWING SO THAT I COULDN'T SEE

 

WHAT ONCE WAS

 

WAS NEVER GONNA BE

 

 

 

KNEW I HAD TO STEP AWAY

 

LOSE MYSELF ALONE

 

NO USE HANGING ON

 

COME SUNRISE I'LL BE GONE 

 

IN THE TIME IT TAKES

 

TO SAY GOODBYE

 

I'LL BE MILES DOWN THE ROAD

 

LOVE IS GONE

 

ONLY HOPES AND DREAMS REMAINED

 

 

 

DARK NIGHT DRIVING RAIN

 

THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAT I COULD DO 

 

NOTHING I COULD OF CHANGED

 

LEFT SORROW BEHIND ME

 

AND THE LITTLE THINGS

 

THAT MEANT SO MUCH

 

A KIND WORD A SOFT TOUCH

 

A WARM PLACE TO LAND

 

I COULD USE IT SO MUCH

 

THE PLACE I STOOD SO LONG

 

NOW GONE TO GROUND

 

 

 

GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW TO FEEL

 

CAN'T GET THERE TOO SOON

 

START TO HEAL

 

FACE THE UNIVERSE

 

FIND MY STARS

 

STAKE OUT MY PLACE

 

TO START AGAIN

 

SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T SEE

 

WHERE AND IF TOMORROW LIES

 

THEN FINALLY YOU CAN SEE IT

 

WITH YOUR OWN EYES 

 

ALL YOU GAVE

 

CAME TO SOMETHING

 

WHAT YOU MADE 

 

STEP OUT FROM THE SHADE

 

LET ME SEE YOU IN THE SUN

 

WE'LL RISE TO START ANEW

THE EMPTY SKY GIVES YOU AWAY

 

I CAN TELL YOU'RE NEAR

 

LIGHTNING AND THUNDER

 

IN YOUR HAND

 

I'M READY WITHOUT FEAR

 

I SAVED THIS ANGER

 

THIS FIGHT FOR YOU

 

I SWORE YOU WOULDN'T PASS

 

COULDN'T LET YOU THROUGH

 

HOLD MY GROUND

 

NO MATTER WHAT THE COST

 

GO AHEAD AND CAST YOUR STONE

 

I'M NOT ALONE IN ALL THIS

 

 

 

I'VE BEEN WAITING WATCHING

 

I'VE BEEN HARD TO FIND

 

IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO

 

SO NOW ITS TIME

 

THIS WAR IS YOURS AND MINE

 

FIGHT FOR MY SOUL

 

TAKE BACK CONTROL

 

FILL THE SKIES WITH SUN

 

IN MY MIND I'VE ALREADY WON

 

 THERE'S NOTHING

 

YOU CAN HOLD ONTO FOREVER

 

IF ITS JUST A PIECE OF BORROWED TIME

 

NOBODY'S GONNA OWN IT BUT ME

 

THE PRICE IS STEEP

 

BUT ITS NEVER FREE

 

SO I RIDE  INTO GLORY

 

IN MORNINGS EARLY LIGHT

 

AT THE READY

 

 EAGER FOR A FIGHT

IN THE SOFT LIGHTS GLOW

 

BLACK OF NIGHT IS GROWING

 

STARS ARE BORN

 

AT THE GATES OF THE HEAVENS 

 

AND IF YOU NEED TO KNOW

 

IT ALL FEELS GOOD

 

TEMPTED BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD

 

REACH OUT

 

MAYBE SO

 

I'VE GOT THIS IDEA

 

AND I CAN'T LET IT GO

 

ITS REALLY SOMETHING

 

THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME

 

 

 

WE COULD FALL FROM A CLOUD

 

HEADLONG INTO THE STARS

 

NOT A SINGLE CARE

 

JUST YOU AND I AND LOVE

 

FLOATING THROUGH THIN AIR

 

TO SOFTLY LAND

 

WAKE FROM A DREAM

 

SEE YOU THERE

 

LOOKING INTO MY EYES

 

THEN TO MY SURPRISE

 

YOUR FINGERS TOUCH MY LIPS

 

AND SO I UNDERSTAND  

 

 

YOUR BEAUTY COMMANDS MY ATTENTION

 

MY AFFECTIONS TO DISTRACTION 

 

WE ONLY HAVE SO MUCH TIME

 

YOU SEEM TO GET THAT TO

 

THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN DO

 

I'LL FIND THIS TIME

 

DOWN THE LINE IN MEMORY

 

EVERY BIT AS SWEET

 

AS THE NIGHT YOU AND I

 

FOUND OUR WAY

 

AROUND THE STARS 

EMBRACE

 

EMBRACE

 STORMY SKIES OF GRAY

 

THE LIGHTNING THE THUNDER

 

THE RAIN

 

THE SWEET RAINBOW

 

WHEN THE SUN COMES BACK AGAIN 

 

THE STARS THE MOON

 

SO MUCH TO FEEL THESE THINGS 

 

JUST AS YOUR LOVE

 

I HOLD IT ALL I CAN'T LET GO

 

THINGS I CANNOT SEE

 

THE THINGS I CAN

 

SEE OUR LOVE TURN TO GOLD

 

I KNOW I'VE WON

 

MY HEART IS SOLD

 

TELL ME YOURS IS TOO

 

 

 

FOUR BARE FEET IN THE MORNING DEW

 

AND LOVE IS GATHERING

 

IN THE LIGHT

 

WAITING UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT

 

ALL THAT'S LEFT TO ME IS YOU

 

EVERYBODY IS GONE

 

ITS ONLY YOU AND I

 

DO YOU FEEL IT GROWING INSIDE

 

SO MUCH TO FEEL THESE THINGS

 

IN YOUR HEART

 

SOMETHINGS MISSING WHEN WE'RE APART

 

LIKE HEAVEN WITHOUT ANGELS

 

LIKE GRAY SKIES THAT WON'T RAIN

 

OR GIVE UP TO THE SUN

 

UNTIL YOU'RE BACK AGAIN

 

 

 

ALL MY LOVE TO HOLD

 

LIKE THE TURNING TIDE

 

ONCE YOUR INSIDE YOU FEEL

 

ONLY WHAT IS REAL

 

WHAT MAKES US GROW

 

OUR HEARTS TOGETHER

 

CAN YOU HEAR THE SONG

 

DO YOU EMBRACE IT

 

AS IT LEAVES YOU IN WONDER ALL ALONG

 

THEY SAID OUT WITH THE OLD

 

EMBRACE THE NEW

 

BUT STILL THE ANCIENT WAYS

 

KEEP SHINING THROUGH

 

A PAGEANT FOR LOVE

 

TO WIN YOUR HAND

 

I'M A SHOE IN TO WIN

 

BRING YOU BACK

 

AGAIN AND AGAIN

 

JUST BECAUSE I CAN

 

EMBRACE YOU

 

FEEL THE THINGS INSIDE THAT

 

 YOU DO TO ME 

THE WIND THAT DRIVES THE WAVES

DRIES THE SAND

SO IT IS

MY HEART IN YOUR HANDS

ONE TWO MAYBE THREE DAYS

 

YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING WITHOUT A SIGN

 

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS

 

YOU HOPE YOUR GOING TO FIND

 

I COULD SAY I'VE BEEN BLIND

 

I TAKE MY OWN LINE

 

I TAKE MY OWN WAY

 

MY OWN TIME

 

A LITTLE BEHIND

 

BUT I ALWAYS WALK IN LIKE I'VE WON

 

HEAD HIGH I DON'T SAY A THING

 

I GIVE YOU

 

WHATEVER I BRING

 

THERE IN THE SHADOWS LAYS THE KILL

 

THE OFFERING UNTIL

 

THE DEMONS IN YOUR SOUL ARE STILL

 

 

 

THIS DOESN'T MEAN ITS OVER FOR YOU AND I

 

NO WE'RE STILL LEARNING HOW TO FLY

 

AFTER ALL THIS TIME

 

WE'RE GAINING GROUND

 

ADDING SKY

 

NOTHING MORE THAN GETTING HIGH

 

NOTHING TO BRING US DOWN

 

THAT'S WHAT I HOPE WE'VE FOUND

 

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS

 

PUSHING US AWAY

 

TO SOMEWHERE QUIET ALONE

 

WHERE WE''LL FIND PEACE OF MIND

 

A HAPPY HOME

 

TO CALL OUR OWN

 

FOR JUST AS LONG

 

AS YOU'LL BE BY MY SIDE

 

WE'VE GOT TONIGHT

 

AND THE REST HAS ROOTS INSIDE A PRAYER

 

 

 

EACH DAY I AWAKEN

 

I HOPE YOU'RE STILL THERE

 

CAUSE WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER

 

STILL LEARNING TO FLY

 

I'D GUESS THAT WERE GAINING GROUND

 

ADDING SKY

 

I GUESS THAT YOU AND I

 

WILL MAKE IT TO SEE

 

EVERYTHING WE WANT THIS TO BE

 

ITS MOVING FASTER NOW

 

YOU BETTER HOLD ON TIGHT

 

ITS HARD TO SEE YOU

 

IN THIS FADING LIGHT

 

ANGELS JUST MIGHT LOSE THEIR WAY

 

JUST SAY WE WERE ON OUR OWN

LIKE A SHIP THAT SIGHTS THE SHORE

 

CLOSER BUT NOT QUITE THERE YET

 

YOU AND I

 

AS WE TRY

 

SLOW DOWN

 

WE COULDN'T IF WE TRIED

 

SO MUCH TO SATISFY 

 

RISE ABOVE IT ALL

 

LOOK DOWN BUT NEVER  FALL 

 

FAIL BUT LEARN

 

AND THAT'S NOT ALL

 

 

 

LIKE CHIMES CAUGHT IN A SUMMER BREEZE

 

THE MUSIC ON A SUMMERS EVE

 

THE STARS ARE LINING UP

 

FOR US TO SEE

 

THE PERFECT END TO A DAY

 

WATCH THEM LEAD US AWAY

 

DREAM IF ONLY FOR A TIME

 

YOU MAKE IT SEEM  SO EASY

 

EVERYTHING IS FINE

 

 

REACH RIGHT OUT

 

AND TAKE WHAT YOU NEED

 

JUST TO ENOUGH TO

 

 MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN 

 

SEE THE PAPER BOAT 

 

WATCH IT FLOAT PAST

 

DOWN THE STREAM

 

A SILENCE FOLLOWS

 

YOU'RE NOT SURE HOW TO FILL

 

I PUT MY HAND ON YOUR SHOULDER

 

YOU CLOSE THE SPACE AGAINST THE CHILL

 

YOU CAN LOOK BACK

 

BUT ITS TOO FAR TO SEE

 

WHAT WASN'T MEANT TO BE

 

LAYS BEHIND US

 

THE FUTURES AHEAD 

 

KEEP YOUR HEART 

 

THERE AND HERE INSTEAD 

 

 

 

YOU AND I HAVE

 

CROSSED A LINE

 

IF IT ALL GOES TO PLAN OR FATE

 

ITS NOT THAT WE NEVER TRIED

 

TO MAKE IT GREAT

 

CRY NO TEARS

 

HAPPY OR SAD

 

EVERYTHING WE HAVE IS REAL

 

HOW  ITS SUPPOSED TO FEEL

 

CAN'T BE KEPT INSIDE 

 

BRING IT ALL TO LIGHT

 

JUST ENOUGH TO

 

MAKE IT  RIGHT AGAIN
