LOOK THROUGH MY EYES

LOOK THROUGH MY EYES


There are things in life you learn and
oh, in time you'll see
cause out there somewhere it's all waiting
if you keep believing
so don't run, don't hide, it will be all right
you'll see, trust me, I'll be there watching over you

just take a look through my eyes
there's a better place somewhere out there
just take a look through my eyes
everything changes, you'll be amazed what you'll find
if you look through my eyes

there will be times on this journey
all you'll see is darkness
but out there somewhere daylight finds you
if you keep believing
so don't run, don't hide, it will be all right
you'll see, trust me, I'll be there watching over you

just take a look through my eyes
there's a better place somewhere out there
just take a look through my eyes
everything changes, you'll be amazed what you find
if you look through my eyes

all the things that you can change
there's a meaning in everything
and you will find all you need
there's so much to understand

take a look through my eyes
there's a better place somewhere out there
just take a look through my eyes
everything changes, you'll be amazed what you'll find
just take a look through my eyes
there's a better place somewhere out there
just take a look through my eyes
everything changes, you'll be amazed what you'll find
(you'll find a better place)
if you look through my eyes
(you know there's a better place)
just take a look through my eyes
(you'll find a better place)
if you look through my eyes

take a look through my eyes

LORENZO

LORENZO


Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.

Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
in East Africa, in East Africa.

Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound.

Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?

Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.

LOVE IS HERE AND NOW YOU'RE GONE

LOVE IS HERE AND NOW YOU'RE GONE


Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now, now you're gone

You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there

You closed the door to your heart
And you turned the key, locked your love away from me

Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone

You made me love you
And oh, my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love
Came into my heart
You turned and you walked, just walked away

You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then took my hope
Look at me now

Look at me
See what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left it's trace

After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep

My heart cries out for your touch
But you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air

Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone

You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone

LOVE IS LIKE A HEATWAVE

LOVE IS LIKE A HEATWAVE


Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame

Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I 'ain't never felt like this before

But that doesn't mean it has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Don't pass up this chance
This time it's a true romance

Heatwave

LOVE POLICE

LOVE POLICE


Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
trying to find somehow to get away.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.

Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head
I try to understand, to make some sense.

I wonder if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defence.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me how?
I'm sure he's out there listening, but he's too tied up right now to try

Try, all of my sins
'cos I can't stop now,
just don't leave me behind.

Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll get out of here,
but the words stick in my throat and I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else,
trying to find somehow to get away

If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.

LOVING YOU IS SWEETER THAN EVER

LOVING YOU IS SWEETER THAN EVER


I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, 'stead of only one.

When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I'm truly glad I found you

Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.

Each night I pray we'll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I'd be lost if you went away.

[Bridge]

Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.

[Bridge]

Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don't you know my baby there.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.

MY GIRL

MY GIRL


I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.

I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, mt girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl.

I've even got the month of May
With my girl

Talkin' bout, talkin' bout my girl . . .

NEVER DREAMED YOU'D LEAVE IN SUMMER

NEVER DREAMED YOU'D LEAVE IN SUMMER


I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone

You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone

You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away

Why didn't you stay?

Well it's a long, long road when you're out there alone,

and it brought me to where I belong.

If you let your light shine on through
someone will come round to pull you through,
yes just let your light shine on through,

NO WAY OUT

NO WAY OUT


Everywhere I turn, I hurt someoneBut there's nothing I can say to change the things I've doneOf all the things I hid from you, I cannot hide the shameAnd I pray someone, something will come to take away the pain
There's no way out of this dark placeNo hope, no futureI know I can't be free and I can't see another wayI can't face another day
Tell me where, did I go wrongEveryone I loved, they're all goneI'd do everything so differently but I can't turn back the timeThere's no shelter from the storm inside of me
There's no way out of this dark placeNo hope, no futureI know I can't be free and I can't see another wayI can't face another day
I can't believe the words I hearIt's like an answer to a prayerWhen I look around I seeThis place, this time, this friend of mine
I know it's hard but you found somehowTo look into your heart and to forgive me nowYou've given me the strength to see just where my journey endsYou've given me the strength to carry on
I see the path from this dark place, I see my futureYour forgiveness has set me freeOh and I can see another wayI can face another day!
I see the path, I can see the pathI see the futureI see the path from this dark placeI see the future
I see the path from this dark placeI see the futureI can see theI can see the
