NOTHING LEFT BEHIND US

NOTHING LEFT BEHIND US


You never know what we could be in store for
The way it goes we're in for more of the same
One step beyond the flame
The thread of life, the finely woven pattern
Reveals designs in silent laughter and rhyme
One picture at a time

There ain't nothing left behind us, not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow there's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us, nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow to never lose you again, oh

It's down to us to figure out the secret
It's not enough to wait for pieces to fall
The writing isn't on the wall
Take my hand, we'll face the fire together
To distant lands, but we can weather the storm
Keeping each other warm

There ain't nothing left behind us, not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow there's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us, nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow to never lose you again

There's never been an easy way
Everybody is bound to make mistakes
You just do what you think is right
Then laugh 'til you cry, 'til you scream at the night

There ain't nothing left behind us, not a doubt inside us
If the angel calls tomorrow there's nothing we haven't said
There ain't nothing left behind us, nothing but a blind trust
I would beg, steal or borrow to never lose you again, yeah

Nothing left behind us, oh no
There ain't nothing left behind us

NOTHING TO HIDE

NOTHING TO HIDE


There in my darkest hour
Somehow you knew what I felt
And just in the nick of time
You saved me from myself

Didn't know I could cut through my defenses
And see through the mask
I figured you must want something from me
But you never asked

I just had to call and you were always there
Think you must have been the answer to my prayer

With you I've got nothing to hide
My heart is starting to pound
Now, the walls are tumbling down

I wish I could find the words
That linger just out of reach
I see myself in your eyes
And lose my power of speech

I am someone now that I don't recognize
It took someone like you to shatter my disguise

Now, I've got nothing to hide
My heart's remembering to pound
And the walls are finally coming down

Yeah, I've got nothing to hide
All that I needed was you around
Now the walls are coming down

Head in the sky, feeling just like
Some kind of lovesick child
I finally pulled through and I owe it to you
Don't want to keep it inside

I am someone now that I don't recognize
Oh, I'm healing, I'm believing, you made me realize

Now, I've got nothing to hide
My heart is starting to pound
I can the feel the walls coming down

Yeah, yeah, I've got nothing to hide
All that I needed was you around
Now the walls are coming down

Yeah, I've got nothing to hide
My heart is starting to pound
And the walls, coming down

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got nothing to hide
All that I needed was you around

NOW AND FOREVER

NOW AND FOREVER


Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread

I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now and forever
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That Heaven has given to me

I'll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now and forever
I will be your man

Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won't be alone, anymore
If I'd only known you were there
All the time
All this time

Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now and forever
I will be your man
Now and forever
I will be your man

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL


O come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant.
O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,

Oh come let us adore him,

Sing choirs of angels,
Sing in exaltation.
Oh sing all ye citizens
Glory to God in the highest.

Oh come let us adore him,
Oh come let us adore him,
Venite Venite Adoremus Dominum,
Venite Venite Adoremus Dominum.

Oh come let us adore him,
Oh come let us adore him,

Venite Venite Adoremus Dominum,
Venite Venite Adoremus Dominum.
Oh come, Oh come all ye faithful
Oh come, Oh come all ye faithful

O HOLY NIGHT

O HOLY NIGHT


O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til He appeared and the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine

O night divine
O night divine
O night divine
O night divine
O night divine
Divine
O night divine

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine
O night divine
O night divine

OCEANS APART

OCEANS APART


Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

ONE MAN

ONE MAN


It's a peaceful thing to know that freedom as a rule belongs to me
There's something very wrong when the color of a man is all you see
After all this time how can a single voice explain
Any reason for the pain we all have seen, it's not a dream

One man stood tall and faced the devil with his back to the wall
And took one step closer to heaven above

So he took a stand and walked where no one else would dare to even try
It was the only way if not for bravery the soul would surely die
Right before my eyes, he gave his life unselfishly
So that all the father's children could be free just like you and me

One man stood tall and faced the devil with his back to the wall
And took one step closer to heaven above

Before his work is done we've got to put an end
To this game of choosing sides
I want us to be one and I won't let it go
Till it's over, I'm here waiting

One man stood tall and faced the devil with his back to the wall
And took one step closer to heaven above
One man walked up and faced the devil and with his back to the wall
One step closer to heaven above

One man stood tall and with his back to the wall

ONE MORE TIME

ONE MORE TIME


Nothing I must do, nowhere I should be
No one in my life to answer to but me
No more candlelights, no more purple skies
No one to be near as my heart slowly dies

If I could hold you one more time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you till I was blind
So you would stay

I'd say a prayer each time you smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time
Mmm

I've memorized your face
I know your touch by heart
Still lost in your embrace
I dream of where you are

If I could hold you one more time
Like in the days when you were mine
I'd look at you till I was blind
So you would stay

I'd say a prayer each time you smile
Cradle the moments like a child
I'd stop the world if only I
Could hold you one more time

 

[fox69]

ONE MORE TRY

ONE MORE TRY


There was nothing missing
It was just a case of foolishness, girl, I must've been crazy
Something I would just as soon forget
I can only say I'm sorry and leave it up to you to say the rest

If you want to go, girl I won't stand in your way
But I'll stand by you if you decide you want to stay
Baby, don't you see, doesn't have to be forever or goodbye
All I'm asking for is one more try

I'm the one who hurt you, still I know the pain you're going through
And even if you show forgiveness
There may be too much damage to undo
I hear these voices telling me, not to give up on you

If you want to go, girl I won't stand in your way
But I'll stand by you if you decide you want to stay
Baby, don't you see, doesn't have to be forever or goodbye
All I'm asking for is one more try

My heart and soul are searching
Trying to find a way, to bring your love back to me
Still I hear these voices telling me to not give up on you

If you want to go, girl I won't stand in your way
But I'll stand by you if you decide you want to stay
Baby, don't you see, doesn't have to be forever or goodbye

ONE THING LEFT

ONE THING LEFT


My life is one big smile
As I cross off the things on my list
The splendor goes on for miles
I don't know what could be left to wish

I'm just living the dream
I do alright if you know what I mean

And I've closed the door and locked it tight
And turned off every single light
Another perfect day is all but through
Now me getting over you is the one thing left to do, yeah, yeah, yeah

The whole world has gone insane
The paper says so every day
And I can always feel the rain
Even when the sun's in the way

Yeah, just living the dream
I wish my eyes could forget what they've seen

I've closed the door and locked it tight
And turned off every single light
And walked away just like you asked me to
Now me getting over you is the one thing left to do

Yeah, I know that it's me who's not well
But there's no one but you I can tell

As I close the door and lock it tight
And turn off every single light
And walk away just like you asked me to
But me getting over you is the one thing left to do, yeah, yeah, yeah
