I'm always treading on dangerous ground And everything seems to be upside down Are you practicing for judgement day? Or do you really mean those things you say? (chorus) Day after day, night after night There's a panic in this heart of mine Day after day, night after night I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find I'm not the man you wanted me to be He's kept alive inside your fantasy But now the magic me is fading fast Let me remind you of the face behind the mask (REPEAT CHORUS) Can't you see there's just no promised land, doesn't happen that way I hope you'll try and understand there's nothing I can do or say (REPEAT CHORUS x 3)
Doctor! Doctor! I saw you there, just standing there And I thought I was only dreaming yeah I kissed you then, then once again You said you would come and dance with me Dance with me across the sea And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams (chorus) Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Ships at night give such delight We all leave before the morning light Please don't go no please don't go Cause I don't want to stay here on my own
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love) Take away my name (take away) Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love) Never be the same
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Come with me and make believe We can travel to eternity
There's a warm wind blowing off the sea The sky is clear and blue The desert glows in shades of gold A postcard just for you The general's on the radio To say the war is won But for 9 thousand people left behind The battle's just begun
(chorus) If this is a dream WHY WON'T YOU WAKE THEM If you know the answer WON'T YOU SAY WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYIN' ON THIS PERFECT DAY
A woman sits alone upon the ruins of her home She has no-one left to love No-one to call her own
CHORUS
A young man finds a broken toy He made for his small son Its the only thing remaining of the life he knew and loved
(chorus2) IIf this is a dream why won't you wake him If you know the answer won't you say WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYING OH SO MANY PEOPLE LYING OH SO MANY PEOPLE DYING ON THIS PERFECT DAY
Are You Still Crying PERFECT DAY Are You Still Lying PERFECT DAY Will You Be dying PERFECT DAY Are you Still Crying
You say they've been making plans Oh your life's not your own-it's out of your hands You can betray your dreams Or trade them in for a life that's easy to lead (or you could) Gather pearls on a coral reef Walk the wall of China Fall in love with me
(chorus) You better Follow Your Heart Don't let no-one else do your livin' for you Follow Your Heart And to yourself and no-one else always be true
How will you be the one If you dance to the beat of another man's drum How will you feel the sun Knowin' all the time it could've been love (or you could) Sail down the Nile on a royal barge Be a mother or a lover You could go far
CHORUS
Do you really want to live on dreams Forever thinkin' what could've been Do you really want to play the game Forever lookin' for someone to blame
And do you really want to stand in line Keepin' the faith 'til your old 'n tired Do you really want to live on lies Or watch as your life just passes you by (Or you could) Gather pearls on a coral reef Walk the Wall of China Fall in love with me
I know you well And I can tell Something's on your mind 'Cos in your dreams The demon screams And I know he's going to hurt you blind (bridge) You say you hunger for something you can't get at all And love is not enough anymore (chorus) IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO BE WITH YOU IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH Diamond rings And all those things They never sparkle like your smile And as for fame It's just a name That only satisfies you for a while (REPEAT BRIDGE & CHORUS) I've heard it said Or maybe read Only money makes the world go 'round But all the gold Won't heal your soul If your world should tumble to the ground (REPEAT BRIDGE) So listen, Love is all, love is all, love is all we need Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah. Love is all, love is all, love is all we need Love is all, love is all, love is all we need yeah. (REPEAT CHORUS TWICE) If I was King For just one day For just one thing to say Love...
This old life seemed much too long With little point in going on I couldn't think of what to say Words just vanished in the haze I was feeling cold and tired Yeah kinda sad and uninspired But when it almost seemed too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in your touch (chorus) OH LAY YOUR HANDS LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME OH LAY YOUR HANDS WOO-OO-OO-OO! OH LAY YOUR HANDS OH LAY HOUR HANDS ON ME Back and forth across the sea I have chased so many dreams But I have never felt the grace That I have felt in your embrace Oh I was tired and I was cold Yeah with a hunger in my soul When it almost seemed too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in your touch (REPEAT CHORUS) Now you made me feel so good Yeah like I never ever thought I would You know you make me feel so strong And now our laughter just goes on and on So c'mon lay your hands on me Cause close to you is where I really want to be And if it ever gets too much I see your face And sense the grace And feel the magic in our touch (REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
I was dancing in heaven, you were keeping time Then I read your letter, sent shivers down my spine Said our love was over, I was not the one If it lasts forever, forever wouldn't be much fun (chorus) Who can stop the rain? Who can stop the rain from falling? Who can stop this pain that's drowning me? I could hear the sound of laughter I thought that love was in the air I was drowning in that golden age You really seemed to care I'm haunted by a dream, a giant human beings I wait alone for hours Love is never what it seems (REPEAT CHORUS) (REPEAT CHORUS) You always had fantastic plans, that I always knew And now you want to leave me out, so it's raining just for you Those changes that you wanted make you ten feet tall I tried to move those mountains but mountains never move at all (REPEAT CHORUS x 3) Who can stop the rain? (can stop the rain?) Who can stop the rain from falling? (can stop the rain?) Who can stop this pain that's drowning me?

You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you? Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's living high above you? It's time for you and me to play Come on give yourself away Don't care what you say It's time for you and me to play (chorus) Bouncing like a ball Bouncing like a ball These games we play are not worth anything at all unless we're bouncing like a ball You're the kind of person I can talk to but never feel quite at home And after half an hour realize that I would rather be on my own I'm tired of playing hide and seek Knock me off my feet I never could see why the games we play were worth it anyway (REPEAT CHORUS) You're wasting your time with useless resistance I'm wasting mine by keeping my distance But none of these games would be worth anything at all If you and I were really bouncing like a ball You're the kind of person I could look at just to say I love you Or do you think the things I say are meant for someone else who's living high above you (REPEAT CHORUS x 2)

I have a picture pinned to my wall an image of you and of me and we're laughing with love at it all But look at our life now, we're tattered and torn We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn
*Hold me now, oooh Warm my heart Stay with me Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah, go far away But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today
* Repeat (x2)
oooh
You ask if I love you, well, what can I say? You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry any more I'll even ask your forgiveness though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
**Oh, oh, hold me now (hold me in your lovin' arms) Oh warm my heart (warm my cold and tired heart) Stay with me (Ooh stay with me) Let lovin' start, let lovin' start
