Chris De Burgh - The Love Songs (1997) by Chris De Burgh (보컬) on maniadb.com

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
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
you and I
will be forevermore

I've been missing you

I've got the roses
I've got the wine
With a little luck she will
be here on time
This is the place we used to go
With romantic music
and the lights down low
And as you stand there
amazed at the door
And you're wondering
what all this is for
It's just a simple
thing from me to you
The lady that I adore
cos there's something
That you should know
it's that
I've been missing you
more than words can say
And that I've been thinking
about it every day
And the time we had just
dancing nice and slow
And I said now I've found you
I'm never letting go
There is no reason
to the things that we do
You can break a heart
with just a word or two
And take a lifetime to apologise
When the one you
love's in front of your eyes
And I will fall
to my knees like a fool
If it's the only way
of getting through
You see if I think
you are beautiful
Someone else is
going to feel it too
So there's only one thing to do
tell you that
I've been missing you
more than words can say
And that I've been thinking
about it every day
Well tonight's our night
for dancing nice and slow
Because now I've found you
I'm never letting go
No now I've found you
I'm never letting go

I've been missing you

I've been missing you

I've been missing you

I've been missing you
darling

I'm lying here tonight, thinking of the days we've had,
Wondering if the world would be so beautiful,
If I had not looked into your eyes,
How did you know that I've been waiting?
I never knew the world would be so beautiful at all;

I'm spending all the days, dreaming of the nights we've had,
I never knew that love would be a miracle,
When I think of all the ones before,
But now that I've found you I am flying,
I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me,
I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me;

And when we dance to the rhythm that is burning like a flame,
And when you touch me I can hardly move you take my breath away,
You give me all that I want to feel when we become as one,
And then you take me to the heaven of your heart;
Did nobody ever tell you, you're the best thing that has ever been;

Ah... you... ah... so beautiful... ah... so beautiful...

I'm standing here tonight, thinking of the time we'll have,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful,
)From the day you came into my life,
I just want to say, you make me happy,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me;

So beautiful to me...
So beautiful to me...
So beautiful to me...
...to me;

I'm lying here tonight,
I'm dreaming here tonight,
I dance with you tonight...

There's an angel crying up in Heaven tonight,
And I've got the Devil in my heart,
Because I keep saying things that I don't mean,
And it's tearing us apart

There's a wild wind blowing in the desert tonight,
Oh how I long to feel the rain,
And let it wash away these lonely tears,
And bring us back again,
'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever

There's a stranger waiting deep in every heart,
To say the crazy things we say,
But I promise you he won't be back,
To steal your dreams away

So come up close and put your sweet hand in mine,
I'm going to hold you all night long,
And if you wake up I will be here,
To tell you that I love you

'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever

Yes, it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever,
Yes I know with you I will be in love forever,
In love forever.

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away,
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know,
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know,
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline...

No borderline, no borderline...

I've never seen you looking
so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you
shine so bright

I've never seen so many men ask
you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a
little romance
given half a chance
And I've never seen
that dress you're wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The lady in red
is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know
this beauty by my side
I'll never forget
the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking
so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you
shine so bright
you were amazing
I've never seen so many people
want to be there by your side
And when you turned
to me and smiled
it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling
such a feeling of complete
And utter love
as I do tonight
The lady in red
is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know
this beauty by my side
I'll never forget
the way you look tonight
I never will forget
the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red

sometimes the man in me gets restless
i need to get away from you
and spend some time with someone that i knew
just to see her for the night
and in the candlelight
to talk and remember early days

sometimes the woman in you's uneasy
i can see it in your eyes
just like me you need to know
can you still fly
can you still arouse the passions
of another man
and if you carry it through
what would i do?

it would take much more than this
to break a love so long in the making
it would take much more than talk or dreams
to shake so strong a foundation - more than this

sometimes the man in me gets lonely
when i am away from you
and in the darkness of another hotel room
if theres someone in the night saying
"its gonna be alright to ease away the pain of missing you"
what can i do?

it would take much more than this
to break a love so long in the making
it would take much more than talk or dreams
to shake so strong a foundation - more than this

The autumn leaves were falling,
On these old cathedral walls,
There were candles in the darkness,
Singing in the choir,
And reading out the names,
Of all the ones who've gone before,
Well I could tell that you were thinking,
About the meaning of it all;
And you said to me "Who will open up my eyes,
To the wonder, and the glory, and the stars in the sky?"
And you said to me "For this road I'm travelling on,
I need someone beside me forever, who? Who?"

And I said "It's me, and I'm ready to go,
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down,
And I want you to know, that this power will grow,
Every day, every beat of my heart,
Forever, forever;"
We went down to the river,
And we found a small caf,
They say that over in the corner,
Sat the writer Ernest Hemingway,
And here he made his story of the lovers in the war,
And through it all they stayed together,
Till the rain had to fall;
And you said to me "Who will be the one apart,
Who will teach me, with conviction, all the ways of the heart?"
And you said to me "On this journey of my life,
I need someone to love me forever, who? Who?"

And I said, listen "It's me, and I'm ready to go,
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down,
And I want you to know, that this power will grow,
Every day, every beat of my heart,
I love you, I love you;

It's me, and I'll never let you down,
And I want you to know, that this power will grow,
Every day, every beat of my heart,
Forever, I love you, forever."

Cherie, il est onze heures du soir
et tu me manques beaucoup;
je pense ?toi toujours...
toujours.

At separate tables we sit down to eat,
In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,
I only wish you knew how much,
You've been on my mind;

I think about you when the morning comes,
I think about you when all my day is done,
Wondering what you are doing now,
Are you lonely too?

Because I - I miss you here tonight,
And I wish you were by my side,
And I don't want to let go;

At separate tables we sit down to write,
The separate letters that never see the light,
If only we could just agree,
To read between the lines;

I want to see you and I know what I will say,
We must be crazy to throw it all away,
Never knowing what is lost,
Before it's all too late;

And I - I miss you here tonight,
And I wish you were by my side,
And I don't want to let go;

Yes I - I miss you here tonight,
And when I hold you by my side,
Well I'm not gonna let go;

I miss you, I really miss you...

The caf굎 are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town,
In the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...

I'm never gonna love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...

I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no...

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away;

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation, oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
Fatal hesitation, yes I know, I have let her slip away;

I'm gonna read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more,
I'm gonna miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...

I wake with the dawn, something is wrong,
Then I hear you breathing softly by my side,
And I know that I was dreaming, of a time that may come,
When you would be no longer in my life;

I slip out of the bed, I go down the stairs,
Still troubled by the power of the dream,
And I know that I don't say it quite as much as I should,
The way I feel, and what you mean to me;

You are my lover, you are my friend,
You are my life to the very end,
You bring me comfort, you keep me warm,
You give me hope, you make me strong,
You take me away to a distant shore,
And it's with you that I want to stay,
Forevermore;

We go out at night, you're looking so good,
People turning, as you walk into the room,
And when I stand beside you I can feel the pride in my heart,
To know that you are here with me tonight;

You are my lover, you are my friend,
You are my life to the very end,
You bring me comfort, you keep me warm,
You give me hope, you make me strong,
You take me away to a distant shore,
And it's with you that I'm going to stay,
Forevermore,
Yes it's with you that I'm going to stay,
Forevermore,
Yes it's with you that I'm going to stay,
Forevermore.

You are my lover, you are my friend,
You are my...

Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep
let the rain fall on the window pane
and fill the castle keep
I am weary now
weary to my bones
weary from the travelling
and the endless country roads
that brought us here tonight
for this weekend
and a chance to work it out
for we cannot live together
and we cannot live apart
it's the classical dilemma
between the head and the heart

She is sleeping now
softly in the night
and in my heart of darkness
she has been the only light
I am lost in love, looking at her face
and still I hear the voice of reason
telling me to chase
these dreams away
oh, here we go again
we're divided from the start
for we cannot live together
and we cannot live apart
it's the classical dilemma
between the head and the heart

Now the dawn begins
and still I cannot sleep
my head is spinning round but now
the way is clear to me
there is nothing left
nothing left to show
the jury and the judge will see
it's time to let her go

now hear the heart....
I believe that time will show
she will always be a part of my world
I don't want to see her go
so I plead my case to hear the heart and stay....
it's time to let her go -
I don't want to let her go-

and in this classical dilemma
I find for....
the heart

The cold north wind they call "la bise"
Is swirling round about my knees
Trees are crying leaves into the river
I'm huddled in this french cafe
I never thought I'd see the day
When winter's here and summer's really over

Even the birds have packed up and gone
They're flying south with their song
And my loveshe too has goneshe had to fly

Take careit's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly awayfly to mefly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...

The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we'd often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer

Lords and ladies lie in stone
Hand in hand from long ago
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever

Even the choir rehearses those songs
For christmas is not long.
And aloneI sing my songshe had to fly

Out there it's such a lonely sky
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky
Fly awayfly to mefly when the wind is high
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
Fly awayfly to meand if you need my love
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
I'll come in with the dawn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
On the wings of the mourn
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...
Above the world we'll be flying
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky ...

And though their hands are cold they'll love forever

Suddenly love comes in and finds me on open ground,
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, there's no turning back,
And a journey has just begun;

Suddenly love breaks down the doors,
There is singing inside,
And all of the light that's in your eyes, shining here tonight,
Has woken the man in me, and the woman in you,
The woman in you;

All night, heads on the pillow, and eyes that are never shut,
All night, rain on the window, but inside, we have so much;

Suddenly love takes me away where I've never been,
Shows me a world I have never seen, I could only dream,
That I ever would find myself with a lover like you,
A lover like you;

All night, heads on the pillow, and eyes that are never shut,
All night, body to body, and thrilling to every touch;

Oh, suddenly love takes me away where I've never been,
It shows me a world I have never seen, and I just want to be,
Alone in your mystery, love me over and over, and over and over
again.

Please give me one more chance,
I'm begging you, just one more chance,
If you'll listen...
This is not some movie romance,
Or everlasting love at a glance,
Won't you listen...
She is a part of me now,
She's the very heart of me now, so...
If you really love her, let her go;

She's your daughter and I know that you care,
But like a lost bird in the cold night air,
She is lonely...
Thinking back to the days you were young,
When the pain of loving was so very strong,
Weren't you lonely?
She is no longer a child,
She's a woman with love in her eyes, so...
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go;

She is no longer a child,
She's a woman with my love in her eyes, so...
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go,
If you really love her, let her go...

In a country churchyard there's a preacher with his people,
Gathered all around to join a man and woman,
Spring is here and turtledoves are singing from the steeple,
Bees are in the flowers, growing in the graveyard,
And over the hill, where the river meets the mill,
A lovely girl is coming down,
To give her hand upon her wedding day...

Dressed in simple white and wearing flowers in her hair,
Music as she walks slowly to the altar,
And picking up his bible then the preacher turns towards her,
"Will you take this man to be your wedded husband,
to honour and love in the eyes of God above,
Now let the people sing with me,
The words to live forever in your heart...

Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly away"

Many years have fallen on that golden country morning,
The graveyard's overgrown, the church lies in ruins,
Ivy on the walls and ravens wheeling round above me,
As I made my way towards the last remaining headstone,
I fell to my knees, read the lines beneath the leaves,
And suddenly it seemed to me,
I heard the words like singing in the trees...

Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly...

Let your love shine on,
For we are the stars in the sky,
Let your love shine strong,
Until the day you fly, fly away...
