"Greater Love"

"Greater Love"



Here he lies before me,
My friend for many years,
He saved me from the water,
Now I’m drowning in my tears;

Grief is but a poor word for everything I feel,
There can be no greater love;

He was there to guide me through the follies of my age,
Always there beside me, everything forgave;
Held me as a father, showing me the way,
There can be no greater love;

No fear did he have before the storm,
The fate of others was his only thought,
And though it was the way to certain darkness,
To save my life he gave his own;

For my life he gave his own,
And these words are writ in stone, where he lies;

“Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friend;”

“Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friend;”

“Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friend.”

"Guilty Secret"

"Guilty Secret"



I'm living with a guilty secret, deep in my heart,
Living in a guilty secret life;

We meet at night, we stay out late,
And we avoid the man who makes her life so bad,
'Cos he doesn't want her, the way that I want her,
He doesn't need her the way I do;

The phone is hot with whispered words,
And when we can't speak we have textual delight,
'Cos he doesn't need her, the way that I need her,
He doesn't love her the way I do;

We're living with a guilty secret deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
And anytime I want to see her,
Just have to dream, I love her;

Oh it's alright, 'cos we've got time
- A good thing's worth waiting for -
And it's my life and I can say that
She's mine, mine, mine;

There was a time, he was my friend,
But now the way he treats that woman is the end,
And she doesn't love him, the way that she loves me,
She doesn't want him anymore;

We're living with a guilty secret deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life, and anytime I want to see her,
Just have to dream, I love her, I really love her,
Oh it's alright, 'cos we've got time - a good thing's worth
Waiting for - and it's my life, and nobody knows that
She's mine, mine, mine;

We're living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
Mmm, living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
Living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
We meet at night - guilty secret,
We stay out late - guilty secret,
The phone is hot - guilty secret,
Whispered words - guilty secret,
Mmm, living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life.

"Have A Care"

"Have A Care"



With the voices getting nearer I knew that I had to hide,
I got up behind a coffin, then I saw who was inside,
By the skin and bones of Blackbeard I lay there in the dark,
T’was then I heard a whisper above the beating of my heart;

“Have a care, have a care,
T’was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
Have a care, have a care,
T’was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!”

So t’was from the world of smugglers that I hid myself that night,
And when they left I opened up the coffin for a look inside,
But instead of Blackbeard’s diamonds, in the locket at his heart,
Only verses from the Bible and a voice came from the dark;

“Have a care, have a care,
T’was evilly come by and no good will you find there,
Have a care, have a care,
T’was evilly stolen, only pain and sorrow there - have a care!”

“What shall we do with the boy who’s hiding,
what shall we do with the boy who’s hiding,
what shall we do with the boy who’s hiding, early in the morning?”

“Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys,
Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys,
Lock him in the vault so he can’t get out boys, early in the morning!”

"Heart Of Darkness"

"Heart Of Darkness"



Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear,
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
And people kept away,
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
When the morning comes,
And on and on that light returns again,
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;

I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place I knew when I was young,
And in my fear I had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started on the journey of my life;

And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
Through the doorway to another world,
And there below me I saw all the days of my life,
Till the moment I stood on the shore,
Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew,
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away,
Come with me;

Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear;

Come with me, come with me, come with me...

"Here For You"

"Here For You"



I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,
Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting;
So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry,
So many wings to help you fly where you are going;

And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
Sending my love with you tonight;

I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you;

I don't know where the years have gone,
Suddenly here, and you have grown,
It was like only yesterday when you were so young;
But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally,
This is the way that it must be, now it is your world;

And so a plane must take away my child that time has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
Sending my dreams with you tonight;

I will be waiting.....I'm trying not to show,
But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright,
Here for you, here for you,

I don't know where the years have gone.....

"Here Is Your Paradise"

"Here Is Your Paradise"



I never knew love could be a silence in the heart,
A moment when the time is still,
And all I've been looking for is right here in my arms,
Just waiting for the chance to begin;

I never knew love could be the sunlight in your eyes,
On a day that you may not have seen,
And all I've been searching for, well words could never say,
When a touch is more than anything;

Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure;
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;

And in the dark night, you'll follow the bright light,
And go where the love must go,
And you will wake in the morning to a brand new day,
Take all your worries away;

Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore.

"High On Emotion"

"High On Emotion"



Oh my heart is spinning like a wheel,
Only she can see the way that I fell,
Eyes are holding right across the room,
High explosion coming out of the blue;

Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;

Oh my heart is burning like a fire,
Closer now and she is breathing desire,
Take my hand and give it all your light,
Take command I am your rhythm tonight;

Well here we go again,
Living in a world that others cannot share,
Yea here we go again,
We are moving from a spark to a flame;

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;

I am high on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way;
High on emotion, high again,
High on emotion, your love will find the way.

"Hold On"

"Hold On"



Somewhere, a lonely girl lies weeping,
A lonely man tries sleeping,
But he's getting nowhere...

Sometime, it may be close to morning,
She thought she heard him calling,
But there's nobody there...

And somehow, somehow, he knows he's got to try to

Hold on, somewhere she's crying for him,
Hold on, someday her smile will call him.
Hold on, there's someone out there trying for him.
Somehow, sometime, somewhere...

Somewhere, again she sleeps alone,
He is reaching for the phone,
But he's calling no-one...

Oh sometime, she's dreaming of her lover,
It really can't be over,
We've only just begun...

And somehow, somehow, I know I've go to try to

Hold on, somewhere she's crying for me,
Hold on, someday her smile will call me,
Hold on, there's someone out there trying for me.
Somehow, sometime, somewhere, hold on, hold on,

Somehow, sometime, somewhere.

"I Had The Love In My Eyes"

"I Had The Love In My Eyes"



Show me a man secure in his love,
And I'll show you a lucky man;
I loved her too well and I just couldn't tell,
She was holding another hand,
And when she said that she would leave in the morning,
I broke down and cried,

'Cos I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it,
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it,
Somebody took her away, oh I was blind,
I had the love in my eyes...

Day after day, in so many ways,
I gave her the best of me,
But she wanted more, and she opened the door,
Well I hope that you find what you need;
And all the time I thought that she was beside me,
She was drifting away,

But I had the love in my eyes, I just didn't see it,
Such a surprise, I just don't believe it,
Somebody took her away, oh I was blind,
I had the love in my eyes,
I had the love in my eyes...

"I See You Everywhere"

"I See You Everywhere"



I see you everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,
You took me on a highway to the stars, and left me halfway there;

I hold you in my dreams, your tender kiss is never what it seems,
'Cos when I wake up in the morning sun, I look, but you're not there;

I cannot believe this has happened to me,
It's been heaven in your arms,
You gave me so much, with an angels touch,
And then you took my heart;

I see you in the street, and people turning at my running feet,
But when I get up close a stranger's eyes, are looking back at me;

Oh I cannot believe this has happened to me,
Its like heaven for one day.
You left me like this with an angels kiss,
And then you flew away;

I see you everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,
I'm gonna take that highway to the stars,
And I will find you there;

I see you everywhere, I see you everywhere,
I see you everywhere, I see you everywhere..........

Everywhere.....
And when I'm looking for you, I'm gonna find you,
And when I find you I am, I'm gonna hold you,
And when I hold you I am, I'm gonna love you,
And when I love you it will, it will be forever.......

Everywhere........
I see you.... everywhere.....
