Level 42

I was living in a daydream
Letting time of day pass by
I didn't know what I was missing
Until you came into my life
When I saw you pretty girl
I felt a glowing inside
When I kissed you pretty girl
I felt you light up my life Oh I'm flying up on the wings of love
And I know that you come from him above
Holding hands we walk together
Nothing's gonna make us part
That our love will last forever
Is the song that's in our heart
Making love is oh so sweet
We're locked in each other's arms
And our bodies feel this heat
That's the answer to love
(

)
Now I'm living in a love dream
Time and days are passing by
Now I really know how love feels
Can't help smiling all the time
When you're with me pretty girl
I feel your warmth by my side
When you touch me pretty girl
Dreams of joy I can't hide

Summer nights making love
Together we're as one is love's light
We have found our way through another day
So tonight we'll stay
Drunk on the sweet wine
Heaven yours and mine
Love meeting love sweet lady
Take my soul
Keep it in its place through the night
Hold me in your arms and take me in
And we'll start again
To look into the fire
Sipping our desire
Love meeting love yeah yeah
Then floating lost in love
Your body soft and warm next to mine
Time is standing still for you and me
So silently talking with our eyes
Knowing no goodbyes
Love meeting love yeah yeah

I was living in a daydream
Letting time of day pass by
I didn't know what I was missing
Until you came into my life
When I saw you pretty girl
I felt a glowing inside
When I kissed you pretty girl
I felt you light up my life Oh I'm flying up on the wings of love
And I know that you come from him above
Holding hands we walk together
Nothing's gonna make us part
That our love will last forever
Is the song that's in our heart
Making love is oh so sweet
We're locked in each other's arms
And our bodies feel this heat
That's the answer to love
(

)
Now I'm living in a love dream
Time and days are passing by
Now I really know how love feels
Can't help smiling all the time
When you're with me pretty girl
I feel your warmth by my side
When you touch me pretty girl
Dreams of joy I can't hide

As I watch your face
I can see my life go by
You mean everyhing to me
Just can't take no more
Throw a smile my way
And the pain I feel inside
Turns to love for you
And I'm yours
Do lovers ever need to hide
The things they really fell inside
I simply need you yo need me
Can't you see
Once I hoped to be
Your lover and your friend
It just can't go on
Your love games
Your love games
Do lovers ever need to hide
The things they really feel inside
If you won't show your heart to me
Set me free
Now the time has come
To show you how I feel
The love I gave to you
I can't give no more
Even now I see
The salt tears n your eyes
But it can't go on
Your love games

Reaching to another day
And the world is just one step away
Making money, aiming blind
It's time to change - leave it all behind
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
Hear the echo's in you heart
turn your mind in - then - make a start
Anything you want to be
Will soon become reality - then you'll see
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
You're out of touch - so turn it on
You don't need much - to burn it on
Take a different point of view
And discover just what you can do
Getting closer every day
Now the world is just a step away - (dont'delay)
Turn it on - whenever you can
Turn it on - you know that you can
You hit the top - so turn it on
You'll never stop - just burn it on
Turn it on (turn it on) - whenever you can
Turn it on (groovin'on) - you know that you can
Turn it on (turn it on, yeah) - whenever you can
Turn it on (just movin'on) - you know that you can
Turn it on
Turn it on
Turn it on
Turn it on

When I was an infant in my mothers arms
I would watch the starlight in her face
'Cause I was reaching out to understand the cosmic charm
I am just a starchild born in space.

Way up high above the sky
All that beauty passes by
Whole worlds still unknown
And out beyond the blue
There's a place for people too
It's time for us to go.

I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I have been there, I have seen it

Repeat chorus

We have time
(In my dreams)
Time and space
While we're young
(Floating free)
We can chase to the stars.

Searching for the magic in the universe
Guided by the stars that light my way
I have seen the sun shine bright in paradise
I am just a starchild born in space

Life is a game where nothing is real - only you, only me
Right from the start we chase an ideal - fooling you, fooling me
Are you hearing what I hear
Are you feeling what I feel
You'r still no. 1 but they're coming up to get you
Young eyes burning bright they can see a better way
You won't sleep tonight but that's the price you pay
Out of the past the words to a song - calling you, calling me
Hope it will last but time pushes on - pullling you, pulling me
Are you hearing what I hear
Are you feeling what I feel
Every dream you had like balloons they burst around you
so you're on the phone trying to conjure up your past
But the damage has been done
We're too far apart and strangers we've become
And I wonder if it's true
Is the world a different place for me and you
Are you hearing what I hear
Are you feeling what I feel
In out hearts we're still the same
But the worlds we chose to live
In may have changed
And the damage has been done we trust no-one
We're too far apart and strangers we've become

Last night when you spoke to me
Emotion in your voice
You said that you gave to me
A very simple choice
I could leave you...
And go wandering on my own
Or believe in you...
Never leave you all alone

Weave your spell for one more day
You enchanted me to stay

When you met me I was wild
"The Spider and the Fly"
Your affections made me smile
I didn't have to try

But then you tamed me...
never blamed me for my pride
And you aimed to...
Find the real me deep inside

Weave your spell for one more day
You enchanted me to stay

Now I'm feeling like a change
You say that I don't care
But when I look across the way
It's always greener there

If I leave you...
I may never have the choice
To come back to...
All the loving that you gave unceasingly

Weave your spell for one more day
You enchanted me to stay

Take a journey back in time
Leave the western world behind
Cross the mountains to Peking
Where the paper laterns gently swing

The Chinese way
Who knows what they know
The Chinese legend grows

My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken
In Cantonese

Standing at the master's side
The with patience he confides
Secret knowledge - sacred ways
Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days

I could never lie
For honour I would lie
Following the Chinese way

So many years ago hero's ruled the world
(Some died for love in a cruel world)
They were the only ones in a cruel world

I could never lie
For honour I would lie
Following the Chinese way

From the mountains to Peking
Where the paper laterns gently swing

The Chinese way
Who knows what they know
The Chinese legend grows

I remember your goodbye
and the late December sky
seems so long ago
you were standing on the quay
and you blew a kiss to me
I was sad to go
the ship began to pull away
then I heard a stranger say
it's sad to see true lovers part
'cause sometimes lovers feel a change of heart
out of sight and out of mind

well the stranger's words came true
and the prophecy went through
I knew it would change my world
'cause when I called your home
a whispered conversation
I overheard
I asked you what was going on
you said that I'd been gone too long
and the rain that fell in West Berlin
was nothing like the rain that fell within
out of sight and out of mind

oh, Regine
here am I
so far away
out of sight, out of mind
love has gone
but I will shine
day after day
I will take what love I find

so I made some other plans
took my life in these two hands
and I know I won't turn around
though I often see your face
when I'm in a crowded place
it doesn't get me down
I met a girl with smiling eyes
full of love and worldly wise
she told me she knows what to do
to help me put the memories of you
out of sight and out of mind

Chorus

Though I live on the edge time is on my side
all the doors to my life are open wide
just as long as the wheels keep on turning 'round
I will live for the groove 'til the sun goes down

living it up, living it up
I can feel it
living it up
is it a crazy notion?
living it up, living it up
I can feel it
living it up
I got forward motion

I don't wanna go to war, I don't wanna go to war
I said I know what I want and I don't wanna go war - do you follow me?
I saw a soldier standing in a bar
looked so tired he'd come so far
he said "I need to love someone, before they drop the atom bomb"

there's a girl at the back making eyes at me
and her hair long and black is a sight to see
but I get kind of scared when love's around
I just live for the groove 'til the sun goes down

living it up, living it up
I can feel it
living it up
is it a false emotion?
living it up, living it up
I can feel it
living it up
I got forward motion

so I'm a-taking you out but I'm a-faking
I'm married to the beat
but to the music I gave the heart I could have given you
still there's something 'bout the way that you move
and the way that people stare it's the shock of the new
I want my friends to see me standing next to you

the sun goes down . . .

time is on my side
I don't care what they say I'll enjoy the ride
but I get kind of scared when I turn around
so I'll stay with the groove 'til the sun goes down

living it up
living it up
I can feel it
living it up
I got forward motion

ooh - watch her dance
there must be one like her in every club in every town
but I don't mind if that the way she wants to be
there's something 'bout her that reminds me of me
she's my soulmate - we'll be together 'til the sun goes down

the sun goes down

living it up
living it up
I can feel it
living it up
I got forwand motion

pushing all the buttons
trying to come to something
flying with his feet on the ground
full of dreams and visions
in a world of indecision
he ain't around to be pushed around

been a long time coming on - take a look at him now
and the days of If are gone - 'cause he's showing us how

knowledge fuels the mind of the few
in a way that no - one's found
brave new answers screaming the truth
and the techno wins the crown

Chorus

micro-kid with mega-thoughts
he is real, he is here, he is fashionable
micro-kid speaks digitalk
if you hear what he says it's acceptable

generating square waves
while computing new games
finally gets the chips off his back
a smile is on his face
erasing every trace
of doubt that plagues the rest of the pack

and his brain stores memories - no alternatives could come in
he's the living remedy - times are better than they were then

knowledge fuels the mind of the few
in a way that no-one's found
brave new answers screaming the truth
and the techno wins the crown

Chorus (Rpt.)

tell - me something
why do I always find it hard just to get along
try my best - for nothing
every little thing I do is wrong

feel it in my brain
driving me insane
round and round
the same old tune

"daddy's on the phone
you know you're not alone
turn that down
and clean up your room."

sons and daughters
(don't fall in)
in hot water
sons and daughters
(they don't do)
what they oughta

tell (tell) you something
music is the key to set me free
to the beat (on the street) I'm jumping
forgetting all the things they said 'bout me

here it comes again
chugging like a train
round and round
an impeccable groove

I know it's getting late
but I won't histate
can't slow down
got to do what I do

sons and daughters
(always in)
in hot water

wasting time
is a crime in their eyes
but I'm still young
so much time to decide - what to do ...

(I don't need confirmation
for my boyhood extrapolation
though I'm not sure of my direction
I have the groove for my protection)

here it comes again
chugging like a train
round and round
an impeccable groove

I know it's getting late
but I won't hesitate
can't slow down
got to do what I do

sons and daughters
(don't fall in)
in hot water
(when they fall by the way)
sons and daughters
(they don't do)
what they oughta

tell me something
where you staying tonight
your folks
have waited up for you
now they've locked the door
and turned off the light.

the spirit of the people
the spirit of the people
the spirit of the people
the rhythm has begun ...

old men with their protocol
lead us off to war
sometimes we don't even know
what we're fighting for
marching to the beat of their drum

leaders we no longer trust
told too many lies
the promises they made to us
were never realised
hear me now the chant has begun

nowhere left to turn
no-one left to turn to
voices raised in anger
they don't have the answer
our whole world's in danger

oil slicks on the ebbing tide
progress out of hand
blind men choke on swallowed pride
heads down in the sand
don't wanna see the damage they've done

trees destroyed by acid rain
falling from the skies
when our children place the blame
who will tell them why
hear me now the chant has begun

why is love so rare
all this talk of warfare
voices raised in anger
they don't have an answer
pass the word along
we can wait no longer
too much blind destruction
follow love's instructions
now the chant has begun

(chant)

make your choice there's no escape
add your voice, the chant has begun

Ooh ooh
How how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played once too often
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfectionborn of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all

Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
I wouldn't be without you baby tonight

If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things
And a perfect dream of life
Gone fragile but free
We remain tender together not so in love
It's not so wrong
We're only human after all
These changing years
They add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear the time
That told the truth
That there is something about you
Baby so right
Don't want to be without you
Baby tonight
Because there's something about you
Baby so right
I couldn't live without you
Baby tonight ooh ooh
To feel there's something about you
Baby I couldn't sleep without you
Tonight

It seems true love is so rare
Seems all I?ve known is deceipt.
Your laughter fills the air
Once more I?m sensing defeat

And I suppose<b></b>you?re leaving me now
I was so sure<b></b>now I?m so full of doubt
And I suppose<b></b>You?ll be leaving this place
Just like the smile<b></b>you?ve wiped from my face<b></b>this time

I allways gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
Some people kill for less
Yet I?d still die for you gladly

And I suppose, it?s my turn now
To play the scene, that?s familiar somehow
I turn the page, and you walk away
Not even love could bring stay, this time

<walk away, so easy>
Once more I?m learning, in the depths of my dispare
Your lies confirm it, true love is so rare

And I suppose, it?s my turn now
To play the scene, that?s familiar somehow
You show the tears, that melt in your eyes
Takes just one look, to know Im still mesmerized

And I suppose, you?re leaving me now
There?s no more love, only feelings of doubt
And I suppose, you?ll be leaving this place
Just like the smile, you?ve wiped from my face,
This time

I'm not proud, I was wrong
and the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
but our love went overboard
lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building
we never fulfilled them
could be better, should be better
for lessons in love

For restless eyes egos burn
and the mold is hard to break
now we've waded in too deep
and love is overboard
heavy hearts token words
all the hopes I ever had
fade like footprints in the sand

All the homes that we were building
we never lived in
could be better, should be better
lessons in love
if we lose the time before us
the future will ignore us
we should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love

Lost without love...

Lessons in love
When will you ever learn

Lessons in love
When there's nowhere left to turn

Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn

Lessons in love
I'll wait 'till you return

All the dreams that we were building
we never fulfilled them
could be better, should be better
for lessons in love
All the homes that we were building
we never lived in
could be better, should be better
lessons in love
if we lose the time before us
the future will ignore us
we should use it, we could use it, yeah
lessons in love

Our dad
would send us to our room
he'd be the voice of doom
he said that we would thank him later
all day
he was solid as a rock
but by eight o'clock
we'd be crumbling
one night
my brother Joe and me
climbed down the family tree
that grew outside our bedroom window
we ran
though we knew it couldn't last
running from the past
from things that we were born to be

Looking back it's so bizarre
it runs in the family
all the things we are
on the backseat of the car
with Joseph and Emily
we only see so far
- and we all have our daddy's eyes
looking back it's so bizarre

Dad rang
the officer in charge
a man so large
he barely fit his circumstances
he said
two kids out on the street
were picked up on the beat
and in the station
so there's me
with Emily and Joe
daddy driving home
all heading in the same direction
he knew
no matter what the breaks
we'd make the same mistakes
couldn't take his eyes of Joe and me

Looking back it's so bizarre
it runs in the family
all the things we are
on the backseat of the car
with Joseph and Emily
we only see so far
- and we all have our daddy's eyes
looking back it's so bizarre
it runs in the family
all the things we are
looking back it's so bizarre

Like a dream within a dream
we're all somewhere in between
like a drummer plays his drum
like a father like a son
- and your gonna have to face the music
- face the music

Hey hey
we keep it running in the family
hey hey
we keep it coming in the family
hey hey
we keep on running in the family
hey hey
we keep on coming in the family

Looking back it's so bizarre
it runs in the family
all the things we are
on the backseat of the car
with Joseph and Emily
we only see so far
- 'cause we all have our daddy's eyes
take me back into your arms
it's no longer a mystery
no cause for alarm
could have never come this far
with no sense of history
it always leaves a scar
- and we all have our daddy's eyes
looking back it's so bizarre, oh yeah
running in the family
running in the family
and we all have our daddy's eyes
looking back it's so bizarre

I've been making moves in chains
wrapped around my hollow heart
the thought of you remains
I can't replace your face no matter how I try
and in the night I cry from wanting you
you know I thought I could not lose
America was calling me
you said I must choose
between a life of love or visions that will fade
and now the choice is made I'm so lonely

Can you feel me
reaching out to you
I'm so lonely
are you lonely too
I would give anything
to make you understand
that I would go anywhere
to be with you again

Heaven help me if you can
I remember better days
but now I understand
you can't buy happiness, love is not for sale
the night is turning pale and I'm needing you
I've tried to talk the time away (but the time is here to stay)
empty ears aren't listening
to one word I say (time to play)
the dream became a big machine out of control
and here inside my soul I am so lonely

Where are you now
when I need you so
I'm so lonely
I need you to know
I would give anything (can you feel me)
to make you understand (reaching out to you)
and I would go anywhere (where are you now)
to be with you again (when I need you)
I was standing in the rain
I was trying to break the chains
I was calling out your name (something snapped inside of me)
I need to be with you again, yeah
baby

Can you feel me (can you feel me now)
reaching out to you
I'm so lonely (I am so lonely girl)
are you lonely too
where are you now (I would go anywhere)
now I need you so
I'm so lonely (I am so lonely girl)
I need you to know

I would give anything
to make you understand
and I would go anywhere
to be with you again
and you are the only one
who can break these chains
and I would go anywhere
to be with you again<Bild><Bild>COUNTER MELODY:
can you feel me
reaching out to you


where are you now
when I need you so
I'm so lonely
are you lonely too
where are you now
now I need you


be with you again . . .
be with you again .

I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand forgive me if you can
But I can see another road
And I ain't coming back

Don't look for me around this town
Cause I will be so far away you'll never find me anywhere
And I won't take no souvernirs no perfume picture promises
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back

You gave me everything
And now I'm breaking your heart
You know that I don't mean
To tear your world apart

I would never leave, if I thought you couldn't stand the pain
A letter in hall, is written on the wall
A letter with no words of love at all
Because it's over
And I ain't coming back

And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
Instead I've torn world apart

And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough, I feel bad enough
And all the times when you are lonely where you are
Please don't hate me then, I just could not pretend

Tears, feel the tears, I can feel the tears, running through the years
