Sometimes it gets so dark That I forget That there's a sun out there Oh Somewhere out there And sometimes when the storm clouds gather I lose myself in misery Oh Somewhere out there But then the thought of your eyes So blue reminds me that There's a sky over yonder And the thought of your smile Your lips do tell me It get's better after a while Oh you remind me That there's a place That's always warm Oh you remind me That there's a place Where the sun always shines In your eyes in your eyes In your eyes In your eyes

Still 05:30
Could you turn up that instrumental a bit Open your eyes and see it through Stop with the lies and tell the truth Does it happen to you too Does it happen to you You too That time stands still Time stands still Time stands still Time stands still Time stands still Time stands still Still So don't fight it Tu n'es comprendas jamais Don't fight it Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez Don't fight it On peut jamais parler Don't fight it Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés It's almost written in the stars Through the galaxy from Jupiter to Mars So don't fight it Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés Don't fight it I'm talking to you Time stands still Time stands still Time stands still Time stands still Still Time stands still Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez Time stands still On peut jamais parler Time stands still Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés So don't fight it I'm talking to you Don't fight it I'm talking to you Don't fight it I'm talking to you Don't fight it I'm talking to you It's almost written in the stars Through the galaxy from Jupiter to Mars So don't fight it Don't fight it Time stands still On peut jamais parler Time stands still Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés Time stands still Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez Still Tu n'es comprendas jamais Time stands still Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés Time stands still Time stands still Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés Time stands still Time stands still Je sais que t'en auras jamais assez Time stands still On peut jamais parler Time stands still Si seulement tu pouvais lire mes pensés Still

Soul Love 04:59
You know I'm not a saint Coz we've been friends far too long You know as well as I do It's always gone so wrong The wrong place The wrong time The wrong city Wrong state of mind The wrong kind of people But I just can't get you off my mind Chii chakadzamasorudo Kusimba kana kukura sorudo Chii chinorapa sorudo Chinozorodza pfungwa so rudo Nyangwe zviome sei Zvikone sei Zvirambe sei Umomoterwe sei hona shamwari hapana Chinogadzikisa hana sorudo Chinosesedza marwadzo sorudo Maybe you know That this is how it is and maybe you do But maybe you don't Maybe you don't So listen to me catch me Won't you catch me with your soul love I'm spinning falling down love I'm crashing to the ground love I'm crashing to the ground Said maybe you know That this is how it is and maybe you do But maybe you don't Maybe you don't So listen to me catch me Won't you catch me with your soul love I'm spinning falling down love I'm crashing to the ground love I'm crashing to the ground I'd like these words to flow Right through your mind just like Just like a waterfall into your heart And then And then start sinking in Go even deeper then And find a place within I said I I'd like these I'd like these words to flow Right through your mind just like Just like a waterfall into your heart And then And then start sinking in Go even deeper then And find a place within And call it home And call it home And call it home And call it home

Confession 03:47
Unintentional confession to My addiction to the feel of your hands Brushing against my skin Find it funny how This started that night you called me and we went on a limb The makings of a dream Laughter fills the air When you are near Speak your mind I love how you just don't care If anyone is there Unconditional confession to My addiction to the sound of your voice A perfect note that rings The makings of a dream A song that only you and I can sing Find it funny how this started That night you called me and we went on a limb Find it funny how This started that night you called me and we started this dream A perfect note that rings The makings of a dream A song that only you and I can sing

Then there were times When we saw not eye to eye We'd hide our heads in the sand And pretend we weren't in love With our tails in the air You'd think that we didn't care Then there were nights When we fought like cat and dog We used to grill our hearts to cinders We were callous you and I With out tails in the air Once upon a time there were times From hearts poisoned by anger Words were thrown Taking us further from a place where forever was owned You can't allow pride to sit at the thrown especially when You have a vision of building a home Remembered only memories of the hurting and pain Scratching my brain trying to find the words to explain We're ordinary people expecting the world from each other Standing in fragments of the promises we made to each other Could it be that we listened to the rats and snakes Who use their good intentions to mask their hate So we built our realities on false reports I understand why many file for divorce in court But through the tempest We never chose to be free Broken mirrors revealing what we could grow to be Without you life is a beautiful sunset to a blind man That's all I have so I just left it all in time's hands And time stands as the healer of wounds Embers of our early love kill the chill in the room It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground It's all ups and downs and smiles and frowns as we get ourselves back onto solid ground And there were times Then there were times When we felt like making love But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats there were times Yes there were nights When we felt like making love But we would sleep with backs facing opposite sides With tears in our eyes and lumps in our throats There were times There were times There were times

Good morning my love You look beautiful Your hair is a mess and you must be sleeping still But before you wake I thought I'd open my heart As the sun rays blaze there's things I can't say to your face Like you drive me up the wall sometimes with things you say that cut me to the core But I think there's something wrong Somehow your stubbornness just makes me want you more Tell me I'm not being crazy You're driving me nuts but I keep wanting more Maybe you're just amazing Or I'm just a freak who likes it when you're cold to me Are you listening Are you awake Are you sleeping Because I like you anyway Can you me hear me Are you awake Am I dreaming Because I like you anyway

Over Again 03:41
Have you ever seen anything Worse than heart strings being stretched too thin The pictures in this magazine Tell of a scene that's just gone too far The autumn leaves are scattered all around Love has lost its colour and its sound The autumn leaves are scattered all around And love has lost its colour and its sound A winter wind came rolling in and that is when it all began We braved the cold held on and told each other we would care again The seasons changed and spring became the summer rain we tried again A thousand thunderstorms of our demise we lied again Ohh Over and over again Ohhh It's over it's over again Ohhh Over and over again Ohhh It's over again Oooh Over and over again Oh It's over it's over again Over and over again Oh The autumn leaves are scattered all around Love has lost its colour and its sounds The autumn leaves are scattered all around And love has lost its colour and its sound

Dragons 04:20
I've got two dragons in my heart And they're both afraid of the dark So they lit a fire within my heart If only it would disappear If only it could disappear Then I would be able to stop loving you And the hurting stops And the hurting stops And the hurting stops I've got a song in my head And it has been there since the day that I saw you And as long as it sings I can't stop loving you If only it would disappear If only it could disappear Then I would be able to stop loving you And the hurting stops And the hurting stops And the hurting stops Said that I've got a wound on my knee And it has been there since the day that I fell I fell on my knees right in front of you If only it could disappear If only it would disappear Then I would be able to stop loving you And the hurting stops And the hurting stops And the hurting stops
