웨스트라이프(Westlife)는 1998년 7월 3일에 창단된 아일랜드의 팝 그룹이다. MTV가 선정한 최고의 영국 그룹에 선정되었다. 멤버는 마크 필리(Mark Feehily), 키안 이건(Kian Egan), 셰인 필란(Shane Filan), 니키 번(Nicky Byrne)이다. 그들은 사이먼 코웰이 만들었으며 최근에는 루이스가 관리한다. 시간이 흐를수록 웨스트라이프의 곡은 틴팝에서 발라드에 초점을 맞춘 어른스러운 사운드를 추구하게 된다.
그룹의 오리지널 라인업은 니키 번(Nicky Byrne), 키안 이건(Kian Egan), 마크 필리(Mark Feehily), 셰인 필란(Shane Filan), 브라이언 맥파든(Bryan McFadden)으로 구성되어 있었다. 필란은 밴드의 보컬 리드이자, 필리는 예전에 브라이언이 관두기 전의 보컬을 일부분 나누어 맡고 있다. 몇몇의 멤버들은 악기를 연주할 수 있다 : 이건(드럼, 기타, 피아노), 맥파든(기타, 피아노) 그리고 필리(틴 휘슬, 피아노). 모든 히트곡들이 전문가의 손에서 탄생하였음에도 불구하고 모든 멤버들은 송라이터다. 2004년 3월 9일, 맥파든이 자신의 가족과 더 많은 시간을 보낼 필요가 있고, 자신의 솔로앨범에 더 투진하기 위해 그룹을 떠났다.
I wanna know Who ever told you I was letting go Of the only joy that I have ever known Girl, they're lying
Just look around And all of the people that we used to know Have just given up, they wanna let it go But we're still trying
So you should know this love we share was never made To die I'm glad we're on this one way street just you and I just you and I
I'm never gonna say goodbye Cos I never wanna see you cry I swore to you my love would remain And I swear it all over again and I I'm never gonna treat you bad Cos I never wanna see you sad I swore to share your joy and your pain And I swear it all over again All over again
Some people say That everything has got its place in time Even the day must give way to the night But I'm not buying Cos in your eyes I see a love that burns eternally And if you see how beautiful you are to me You'll know I'm not lying
Sure there'll be times we wanna say goodbye But even if we try There are something's in this life won't be denied Won't be denied I'm never gonna say goodbye Cos I never wanna see you cry I swore to you my love would remain And I swear it all over again and I'm never gonna treat you bad Cos I never wanna see you sad I swore to share your joy and your pain And I swear it all over again
The more I know of you, is the more I know I love you, And the more that I'm sure I want you forever And ever more And the more that you love me, the more that I know Oh that I'm never gonna let you go Gotta let you know that I I'm never gonna say goodbye (I never gonna say goodbye) Cos I never wanna see you cry (I never wanna see you cry) I swore to you my love would remain And I swear it all over again and I (swear it all over again, and I) I'm never gonna treat you bad (I never wanna treat you bad) Cos I never wanna see you sad (I never gonna see you sad) I swore to share your joy and your pain (oh no, oh no) And I swear it all over again All over again All over again And I swear it all over again
Day after day Time pass away And I just can't get you off my mind nobody knows I hide it inside I keep on searching but I can't find
The courage is to show To letting you know I've never felt so much love before And once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out
*But if I let you go I will never know What my life would be Holding you close to me Will I ever see You smiling back at me Oh yeah How will I know If I let you go
Night after night I hear myself say Why can't this feeling just fade away There's no one like you You speak to my heart It's such a shame We're worlds apart
I'm to shy to ask I'm to proud to lose But sooner or later I've gotta choose And once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out
*Repeat
If I let you go, oh baby
Oooh
Once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out
*Repeat
But if I let you go I will never know (oh baby)
Will I ever see You smiling back at me Oh yeah How will I know (how will i know) If I let you go
Everybody's looking for a something One thing that makes it all complete You'll find it in the strangest places Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children Some find it in their lovers eyes Who can deny the joy it brings When you've found that special thing You're flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning Some in their solitary lives You'll find it in the words of others A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You find it in the deepest friendship The kind you cherish all your life And when you know how much that means You've found that special thing You're flying without wings
So, impossible as they may seem You've got to fight for every dream Cos who's to know which one you let go Would have made you complete
Well, for me it's waking up beside you To watch the sun rise on your face To know that I can say I love you at any given time or place
It's little things that only I know Those are the things that make you mine And it's like flying without wings Cos you're my special thing I'm flying without wings
You're the place my life begins You'll be where it ends I'm flying without wings And that's the joy you bring I'm flying without wings
Baby, I know the story, I've seen the picture, It's written all over your face Tell me, what's the secret that you've been hiding? And who's gonna take my place? I should of seen it coming, I should have read the signs Anyway, I guess it's over
*Can't believe that I'm the fool again I thought this love would never end, How was I to know? You never told me Can't believe that I'm the fool again, And I who thought you were my friend, How was I to know? You never told me
Baby, you should've called me, When you were lonely, When you needed me to be there Sadly, you never gave me Too many chances to show you How much I care Ooh, should of seen it coming, I should have read the signs Anyway, I guess it's over
*Repeat
About the pain and the tears Ooh, If I could, I would, turn back the time Ooh yeah I should have seen it coming I should have read the signs Anyway, I guess it's over
Once we had it all for the taking Love was just me and you You better think twice About the plans that you're making Of splitting one word in two
*Put your mind in doubt Did you ever think about Everything that we're missing Don't you make me see What is best for me 'Cause I just won't listen baby
**No no no no I don't need nobody Anyone to take your place but you No no no no I just couldn't fall for anyone new Nobody but you
Girl you are the life that I'm living I just can't go on without you Let's make it alright Wake up to what we've been given Remember the things we've been through
*Repeat
**Repeat
I can't imagine The two of us apart Can't find a reason 'Cause I still believe There's no one like you That is why I need Nobody but you don't need nobody To take your place but you don't need nobody at all No no no no...
I can't sleep, everything I ever knew Is a lie without you, I can't breathe, when my heart is broke in two, There's no beat without you
You're not gone but you're not here At least that's the way it seems tongith If we could try to end these wars I know that we can make it right 'Cause baby
*I don't wanna fight no more, I forgot what we were fighting for, And this lonliness that's in my heart Won't let me be apart from you I don't wanna have to try Girl to live without you in my life, So I'm hopin we can start tonight 'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
How can I leave, when everything That I adore And everything I'm living for Girl it's in you I can't dream, sleepless nights Have got me bad The only dream I ever had is Being with you
I know that we can make it right, It's gonna take a little time, Let's not leave ourselves with no way out Let's not cross that line
Remember that I mad a vow That I would never let you go I meant it then, I mean it now And I wanna tell you so
Since you've gone, well it Seems like everything is wrong And deep inside, I know that I've Lost much more than pride Well happiness is getting further away Girl I miss more than words can say I need a miracle now So tell me
How can I change the world 'Cos I sure can't change your mind Where's the miracle I need now Got to get to you somehow 'Cos I can't change the world I can't change the world No I can't change the world
Losing you, well it's been the hardest Thing to do So I close my eyes and tell myself That somehow I'll survive Well you gave me heaven then you Took it away Girl I miss you more with each Passing day I need a miracle now So tell me...
How can I change the world 'Cos I sure can't change your mind Where's the miracle I need now Got to get you somehow
And it's so sad you're leaving me Just so you can find yourself And it's so sad that you just can't see I love you more than life itself
If I die tonight, I'd go with no regrets If it's in your arms I know that I was blessed And If your eyes are the last Thing that I see Then I know the beauty heaven Holds for me
But if I make it through, if I live to See the day if I'm with you, I'll know just what to say Ihe truth be told, girl you take my my Breath away Every minute, every hour, every day
'Cause every moment we share together Is even better than the moment before If every day was as good as today was Then I can't wait until tomorrow comes
A moment in time is all that's given You and me A moment in time, and it's something You should seize So I won't make the mistake of Letting go Everyday you're here I'm gonna let You know
That every moment we share together Is even better than the moment before If every day was as good as today was Then I can't wait until tomorrow comes
Each morning that I get up, I love you more Than ever So girl I'll never go away, never stray
So every moment we share together Is even better than than the moment before
If every day was as good as today was Then I can't wait until tomorrow comes
So every moment we share together Is even better than than the moment before If every day was as good as today was Then I can't wait until tomorrow comes
*I love, love, love the moments (oh yeah) Moments we share together I love, love, love the moments (oh yeah) I pray they'd last forever
Goodbye to you my trusted friend We've known each other since we Were nine or ten Together we´ve climbed hills and trees Learned of love and abc's Skinned our hearts and Skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die When all the birds are singing In the sky Now that spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were Just seasons out of time
Goodbye papa please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along
Goodbye papa it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children everywhere When you see them I'll be there
We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the wine and the songs like the Seasons have all gone We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like The seasons have all gone
Goodbye michelle my little one You gave me love and helped Me find the sun And every time that I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on The ground
Goodbye michelle it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in The sky Now that the spring is in the air With the flowers everywhere I wish that we could both be there
We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were Just seasons out of time
*We had joy we had fun we had Seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the Seasons have all gone
Baby baby i swear to you Baby baby I'm here for you
I don't know why Why I did those things to you What went through my mind And I don't know why Why I broke your heart in two Guess that I was blind
Baby how i wish you could forgive me One more time
*And I swear I'll be there Anytime you want me to I'll be true Here for you Don't leave me lonely Cause i need you
I've been a fool Now I can see the price to pay I can't run and hide Cause I'm losing you And my chances slipped away With each time I lied
Baby how I wish you could forgive me One more time
*Repeat
Baby living without you Will tear me apart When i know how it could have been But I don´t care what it leads to Let's make a new start And give love a chance to win cause Baby I swear
*Repeat
Baby baby I swear to you Anytime you want me too Baby baby here for you
Miss you... I can't sleep, I just can't breathe When your shadow is all over me baby Don't wanna be, a fool in your eyes 'Cause what we had was built on lies
And when our love seems to fade away Listen to me hear what I say
*I don't wanna feel The way that i do I just wanna be Right here with you I don't wanna see See us apart I just wanna say it straight from my heart
I miss you...
What would it take, for you to see To make you understand that I'll Always believe You and I, can make it through And I still know, I can't get over you
'Cause when our love seems to fade away Listen to me hear what I say
*Repeat
Oh baby I miss you, I do...
'Cause when our love always Fades away Listen to me hear what I say
Saying I love you Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want you Not to say But if you only knew How easy It would be to Show me how you feel More than words Is all you have to do To make it real Then you wouldn't have to say That you love me Cos I'd already know
*What would you do If my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say If I took those words away Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying I love you
It's more than words, It's more than what you say It's the things you do Oh yeah It's more than words, It's more than what you say It's the things you do Oh yeah
Now that I've tried to Talk to you And make you understand All you have to do Is close your eyes And just reach out your hands
And touch me Hold me close Don't ever let me go More than words Is all I ever Needed you to show Then you wouldn't have to say That you love me Cos I'd already know
I didn't mean yo let you down You have to believe it I don't know what went Through my mind But now I can see
That I waited too long To tell you how much it matters Just to be right here with you But I couldn't think of anything better I should have told you so
*Baby open your heart Won't you give me a second chance And I'll be here forever Open your heart Let me show you how much I care And I will make you understand If you open your heart To love me once again
I'll try to make it up to you I want you to know Baby I swear that I'll be true And never let go If I waited too long To tell you how much it matters Just to be right here with you But I couldn't think of anything better I should have told you so
*Repeat
We could relive this pain and sorrow But we better do it in time Start over here and save tomorrow I wanna make you mine
Open your heart with a chance And I'll be here forever Open your heart and I'll care And I will make you understand Oh baby, If you open your heart To love me once again
Hush now don't you cry There will be a better day I promise you We can work it out But only if you let me know What's on your mind
Baby, I thought it was forever Through any kind of weather But some day you will find what your searching for
*Try again Never stop believing Try Again Don't give up on your love Stumble and fall Its the heart of it all When you fall down (down) Just try again
So, lie down, let it go Hey, you will never be alone I promise you If you can't fight the feeling (Oh yeah) Surrender in you heart Remember love will set you free
Baby, I thought it was forever You would always be together But some day you will find what your searching for
*Repeat
Baby when a heart is crying Its sometimes feels like dying The tear drops fall like rain
Baby, I thought it was forever You would always be together But some day you will find what you're searching for
Try again Never stop believing Try Again Don't give up on your love
All that I want in my life Is the feeling of peace Deep within me truly
I took a chance I let go I promised myself That it wouldn't scare me Miracles appear I know Now I can see it show 'Cause I
*Found out what I dream of And looked it up At this very moment What I want is what I've got Found out what was missing And I looked it up and At this very moment What I want is what I've got
Life is too short To hold back I won't live in the past Being lonely now I know This is the time Of my life Yes I'm sure what I want Is what I've got
Miracles appear I know Now I can see it show 'Cause I
*Repeat
Now I've found out what I've Been dreaming of It's the feeling of peace deep within me Cause life is too short to hold back I made up my mind, I just
Two very different people Too scared to get along Till two hearts beat together Underneath one sun One very special moment Can turn a destiny And what some would say Could never change Has changed for you and me
*'Cause it's all, it's all in the way you Look through your eyes And when all is said and done All of the fear and all of the lies are Not hard to overcome It's all in the way you look at it That makes you strong We were two (we were two) Now we are one
We are two very different people So much to overcome So why care for one another When there's so much to be done
Cause sometimes it's necessary Just look how far we've come You could say my friend that It's the end Or a new tale has begun
*Repeat
One moment in time Is all the time we need Just to make a difference To make it better for you and for me It you just believe
Baby you're so beautiful And when i'm near you i can't breathe A girl like you gets who she wants When she wants it You're so out of my league I show you no emotion Don't let you see what you're doin' to me Imagine the two of us together But I been livin' in reality
Fear of rejection. Kept my love inside But time is running out So damn my foolish pride
I don't care if you think i'm crazy Doesn't matter if it turns out bad 'cause i've got no fear of losin' you You can't lose what you never had
Rules Are made for breakin' Nothing' ventured nothin' gained I'll be no worse off than i am right now And i might never get the chance again
Tried to fight it but it cannot be denied Told my heart I didn't want you but i lied
Now i'm gonna confess that i love you I been keepin' it inside feelin' i could die Not if you turn away then that's O.K. At least we'll have a moment Before you say goodbye
Here on the outside lookin' in Don't wanna stay dreamin' bout what could have been I need to hear you speak my name Even if you shoot me down in flames
An empty street An empty house A hole inside my heart I'm all alone The rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how I wonder why I wonder where they are The days we had The songs we sang together (Oh yeah)
And oh my love I'm holding on forever Reaching for a love that seems so far
*So I say a little prayer And hope my dreams will take me there Where the skies are blue to see you once again, my love Over seas from coast to coast To find the place I love the most Where the fields are green to see you once again, my love
I try to read I go to work I'm laughing with my friends But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking (Oh no)
I wonder how I wonder why I wonder where they are The days we had The songs we sang together (Oh yeah)
And all my love I'm holding on forever Reaching for a love that seems so far
*Repeat
To hold you in my arms To promise you my love To tell you from the heart You're all I'm thinking of I'm reaching for a love that seems so far
*Repeat
Say a little prayer (it must be love) My dreams will take me there Where the skies are blue (woah yeah) To see you once again (oh my love) Overseas from coast to coast To find the place I love the most Where the fields are green To see you once again My love
This isn't goodbye Even as I watch you leave This isn't goodbye I swear I won't cry Even as tears fill my eyes I swear I won't cry
Any other girl I'd let you walk away Any other girl I'm sure I'd be ok
*Tell me what makes a man Wanna give you all his heart Smile when you're around And cry when you're apart If you know what makes a man Wanna love you the way I do Girl you gotta let me know So I can get over you
What makes her so right Is it the sound of her laugh That look in her eyes When do you decide She is the dream that you seek That force in your life
When you apologise No matter who was wrong When you get on your knees If that would bring her home
Repeat *
Other girls will come along They always do But what's the point When all I ever want is you tell me
just a smile and the rain is gone can hardly believe it yeah there's an angel standing next to me reaching for my heart
just a smile and there's no way back can hardly believe it yeah but there's an angel and she's calling me reaching for my heart
i know, that i'll be ok now this time it's real
*i lay my love on you it's all i wanna do every time i breathe i feel brand new you open up my heart show me all your love and walk right through as i lay my love on you
i was lost in a lonely place could hardly believe it yeah holding on to yesterdays far far too long
