Isn? it nice that we can dream
Of all the places we can't see
Fly over oceans wide
Do all the things we never tried
And isn't it strange how you can go
Back to a home you've never known
It's like you were there before
A place you've been searching for

The new world waits inside your dream
And your heart leads the way

Isn't it nice to feel so free
And love the way love's supposed to be
Never with hurt or pain
And never with something else to gain
And isn't it strange it seems so clear
That you have nothing here to fear
But somehow the morning light
Fades all the things you see at night

The new world waits inside your dream
And your heart knows the way
But isn't it nice to let it go
On to the life you'll someday know
And let the real world fade away

Once you're there
You'll know that you're inside
You can't turn back
When you open your eyes

The new world waits inside your dream
And your heart knows the way
But isn't it nice to let it go
On to the life you'll someday know
And let the real world fade away

Isn't it nice to let it go
On to the life your soul will know
and let the real world fade away

I've got something I'd like to tell you
Something that happend to me
I'd been feelin' thoroughly lowdown
So I went to see the gypsy

She sat me down by her candle
She said she had the powers that be
And she looked me in the eye and took my hand
And this is what she said to me

Chorus:
She said, now you're flying high
Tomorrow you might be low
The same thing that makes your baby cry
Might make him get up and go

She said this would be all for now
But that you might come back
If you find it hard to understand
Simple little words like that

So I gave her all of my money
And took off for Singapore
But I couldn't unravel those words of hers
So I went back to the gypsy for more

Chorus

Well, just about this time my luck changed
And fortune did roll in
Well I learned the meaning of happiness
And the value of a friend

I met a fine young gentleman
As fine as a man can be
But I never forgot that gypsy girl
And what she said to me

Chorus

Oh my heart aches
Deep inside me
Oh, how I miss you
Will you come back?
Oh, why? you leave me?
Oh, what can I do?

??ause every night
I sit here by the phone
You know it rings a lot inside my head
I daydream you're home
I never knew that it would go this far.
Come pick me up
I'm going down
Like a falling star.

And the clock strikes midnight
And I'm lying here alone.
I can't sleep, I hear my heartbeat.
Oh, I can't stand the monotone.
And every day I have paced the floor
You know it rains a lot inside my heart,
But I still ask for more.
But now I know that love can leave a scar.
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Like a falling star.

And when the birds fly south for a while,
Oh, I wish that I could go.
Someone there might warm this cold heart,
Someone there might know.
But every day I have paced the floor.
You know it rains a lot inside my heart,
But I still ask for more.
But now I know that love can leave a scar.
Come pick me up, I'm going down
Like a falling star

There's a rose in the garden
It will bloom if you're sure
That you pay close attention
but leave it room

I know your heart can be opened
And like the rose, it will bloom
if I pay close attention
But leave you room

CHORUS
I'm not telling any lies now
I need you
You know how
I think I can see how to let you grow
I've got to let you go

That's my face in the mirror
It's sometimes you that I see
We've been here for so long now
I see your soul in me

CHORUS

??ause there's a rose in the garden
It will bloom if you're sure
That you pay close attention
but leave it room

I've been writing letters every day now
since you've been gone
Talking to you by telephone
For what seems like a whole life long
But I've got something to give you
That the mailman can't deliver
I can't mail it in
I can't phone it in
I can't send it in
Even by your closest kin
The thing that I'm speaking of
Is a whole lot of love
A whole mess of love

I'm bringing it to you personally
I'm bringing it to you personally

I need your love, I want your love
I need your love, I want your love
I'm bring it to you personally

You spend your days and nights alone
You think itæ?? easier that way
But that cold feeling in your bones
I said I could take away
I said, please be the one
Please be the one
Please be the one

Well, if your worlds a lonely place
It's something you never show
And love could stare you in the face
And baby, you'd never know
I said, please be the one
Please be the one
Please be the one

All the years, they took their toll on you
Your innocence has all disappeared
Tell me why you had to learn your love was
something to fear

Well, someday the tables here will turn
And I won't want to play
And for my sweet kiss you will yearn
When it's too late to say
Please be the one
Please be the one

REPEAT CHORUS

Where have the dreams gone
Where are the love songs
Just a world I used to know
My love has lost you
The cost I would not see
Until I learned something thatæ?? not free

CHORUS
Even if you took my hand
You couldn't lead me
Even if you touched my heart
I wouldn't cry
Even if you'd understand
It wouldn't free me
Even if you gave me wings
I couldn't fly

Maybe it's growing old
Something starts going cold
And the years just fade away
I used to feel so young
Now all I feel is numb
Played a game nobody ever won

CHORUS

Maybe some day, when you look in my eyes again
You'll find the love never died
If there's a way to break through it all again
And find the life that I left behind

CHORUS

One life with one love
Are the things dreams are made of
Two hearts a world apart
The music stopped before the dance could start

CHORUS
So goodbye, now please don't cry
For now, all the words have been spoken
Time heals the heart that's broken
My love just walk away

We played those long days
You thought that we saw it the same way
You love as blind and if I seem unkind
Oh I wish for you that I could change my mind

CHORUS

I got something that you need
I got something you should see
Come over and talk to me right now
Isnæ?° anything you need to bring
I know a way to make your heart sing
Thereæ?? a way to have everything
Oh, don't be shy

CHORUS
When you come by
Give me just a little more time
I'm gonna show you why
Why you're gonna be mine

Well, it's a tough road out there
If you're with me honey you won't care
Let the bird in the air just fly away
Well, I'll turn the lights down low
Maybe we'll even dance real slow
I know you'll never want to go
Now, give it a try

CHORUS

These days when I take a look behind,
I think about you and all that time.
We were as one,
kids on the run.

CHORUS
I loved you like I'll never love another,
With the wild heart of the young
But it took until now to uncover.
Oh, if I'd only known it then

You spoke of the dream we made come true
I remember how I looked up to you.
It was there in your touch
You knew so much.

CHORUS

Well, they watched while you broke all the rules,
And everyone thought I was your fool.
But I paid the price
Never even thought twice

CHORUS

If I thought about all the loves
I knew I know they'd all fade except for you.
And someday you'll see how much you taught me.

The whole worldæ?? blue
And nothing ever goes right
Words sound untrue
But you won't give up the fight
Turn your back now
To all those things that you've seen
Close your eyes
Now baby, dream

Well, they see you
Playing real good at the game
If they saw through
All there'd be is the pain
A reward's due
For one who is lost in the rain
Close your eyes
Now baby, dream

When you held me, I was so broken apart
I had nothing but that love in your heart
And the night came, all I heard was you saying
Close your eyes
Now baby,
dream
Close your eyes
Now baby,
dream

You say you need someone to love
But when will you learn?
Whatever's done in this world
It's still gonna turn

Oh, down comes the night
Just another forever
How long?

How long til you see that we're in this together?
How long?
How long?

If you weren't so far away
So far from here
I'd make your tears go away
And make you see clear

Oh, you'd see a night when two hearts were surrendered
How long?
I don't want you to be the one I remember
How long?
How long?

Oh time goes by
In the blink of an eye
It's passed over you
There's no time to hide
Won't you stand by my side
I'm asking you

Oh, down comes the night
Just another forever
How long

How long til you see that we're in this together?
How long?
How long?

Everywhere I look the sun is shining
But it? always raining here inside
I can see
You really had a hold on me
It? a mean old love
With a flame that never dies

Won? you tell me why
I can? say goodbye

Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there? no one there
And it? a real bad sign
I? walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

Won? you tell me why
I can? say goodbye
Won? you tell me why

Ask anyone you know
And they?l say love fades away
But this hearts' cryinjust like yesterday

And it? a real bad sign
I? walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

So won? you tell me why
I can? say goodbye

Won? you tell me why
I can? say goodbye

Am I really here in your arms
This is just like I dreamed it would be
I feel like weæ?®e frozen in time
And youæ?®e the only one I can see

And hey
I've looked all my life for you
Now you're here
And hey
I'll spend all my life with you
All my life

And I never really knew how to love
I just hoped somehow I'd see
Oh I asked for a little help from above
Send an angel down to me

And hey
I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
And hey
I'll spend all my life with you
All my life

I never thought I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
And this love will never leave
I know I know

And hey
I've looked all my life for you
And now you're here
And hey
I'll spend all my life with you
All my life

Oh we never know where life will take us
We know it's just a ride on the wheel
And we never know when death will shake us
And we wonder how it will feel

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the time together through all the years
Will take away these tears
It's O.K. now
Goodbye my friend

I'd see a lot of things that made me crazy
And I guess I held on to you
You could've run away and left, well maybe
But it wasn't time and we both knew

So goodbye my friend
I know I'll never see you again
But the love you gave me through all the years
Will take away my tears
I'm O.K. now
Goodbye my friend

A life so fragile, a love so pure
We can't hold on but we try
We watch how quickly it disappears
And we'll never know why

But I'm O.K. now
Goodbye my friend
You can go now
Goodbye my friend

Dreams are broken
But some dreams comes true
The words were spoken
And now we don't know what to do
We just fight all day
Not meaning anything we say
And now we're frozen
Afraid to let go

And they tell us
That love is really tough
You might find fool's gold
Or a diamond in the rough
Can I let you know
And really let my heart go
Without losing a little part of me

And will we know
Which road to choose
I know we might not lose
If we just stay
On the way
Of the heart

I can see it in your eyes
It's been tearing you apart
You wanna find the truth
But you don't know where to start
We're just playing
If you don't stop weighing
What you can live with and what you can't live without
And will we know
Which road to choose
I know we might not lose
If we just stay
On the way
Of the heart

I remember the night
We let love find us
And there wasn't a doubt in our minds
Oh if we could just
Go back in time
The secret there we might find

But I've been thinking
There must be a better way
To stop this sinking
That we're feeling every day
On a clear night
I know it's gonna feel right
If we let that full moon
Come and take us away

Just keep your eyes
On the stars above
I know that we'll find love
If we just stay
On the way
Of the heart
