Nearly didn't make it

One man, one woman, meet together on a bad day
Wrong man, mistaken, couldn't wait to get away
But then, think again, was it just a bad day
Meet again, glad to see you, haven't missed a day without you
Whoh.......... No we nearly didn't make it
I've found new meaning in this word love
Love at first sight only lasts one night
Can't spend my life without you
Whoh ........No we nearly didn't make it

Pretty girl
02:50
|

Here she comes walking down the street
The kind of girl we'd all like to be
With her eyes aglow
She'll never know
The winds of change that blow
Ch
Years have passed by in a blur
I recall when I was her
People stopped and stared
People turned and said
Who's that pretty girl?
Here she comes walking down the street
Dancing eyes -and her lips so sweet
With her golden hair
She's unaware
Of changes in the air
Time marches on - it isn't kind
The mirror doesn't lie
We lose our looks, we lose our mind
No matter how hard we try, and we try.
Here she comes dancing down the street
Tapping toes to a steady beat
Thinking happy things
What the future brings
Love and wedding rings

Walking in the park
03:02

Sometimes it's hard when a friend you've had for years
Calls you round one day, then he disappears
It seems to happen an awful lot
There one day, and then they're not
A little kiss a murmur a sigh
Then bye-bye
I remember walking in the park with my friend
I wish it would never end
Sometimes it seems that only the good die young
And God has been unfair, and hurting those that care
But when you're old there's still that pain
I've been left alone again
I lie in bed a'wonderin' why
And then I cry, cos I remember
Chorus
A sight, a sound, can turn me around
A laugh, a cry, a favourite sky
A leaf on a breeze
But the best memories - we were walking

I'll never give you up
04:50
|

The weight of the world is on your shoulders
Your heavy heart weighs on my mind
And if you feel life's growing colder
The icy wind just makes you blind
Gather all your things and come to me
I'll get you back the way you used to be
Ch
I'll never give you up
I'll never let you down
I'll never say goodbye
I'll never make you cry
Fairytales are like a round-a-bout
They pick you up and spin you round
Then they slow down and throw you out
Lying face down on the ground
Lovers come and lovers go away
But I will stick beside you everyday

Live on
03:19
|

The time has come to go
I just want you to know
I never thought this day would ever come
But I have lost my way
Gets tougher every day
I tried so hard but now I think I'm done
You gave me all you had right from the start
And I thank you from the bottom of my heart
Ch
Live on
Live free
If I fall it's up to me
Live on
Live free
Be anything you want to be
We hung onto a dream
Of once what could have been
To stick together till the very end
We can't just live a lie
Our passion slowly died
And now we treat each other as a friend
To tell the bitter truth I just get bored
I don't hate you, I just don't love you any more
Ch
If I stumble and I fall no-one will save me
There'll be no golden rope for me to hold
The perfect life I had was an illusion
I bought a dream and sold my soul

Please please mister, don't you raise your hand at me
I'm just sitting here praying for peace and harmony
At school there's children laughing and rolling round with glee
I wonder if the other kids get treated just like me
Ch
When did we stop believing in Santa Claus
When did the penny drop and we stopped believing in Santa Claus
Please please mister don't you hurt me any more
I'm just a little girl, I don't understand the score
At school there's children laughing and rolling round with glee
I wonder if the other kids get loved as much as me
Ch
You think we have no feelings, and we don't remember names
And we don't remember faces or those funny childhood games
We know you have no feelings, and we know you have no shame
And we know you hide your faces when they find that you're to blame

Don't be afraid
03:13
|

Been tryin' to catch your eye
Bet you've been wondering why
Been watching you in class and you're a spunky kinda guy
I prance, I dance, for just a little glance
Been working on you baby if you wanna take a chance
Ch
Don't be afraid
Don't be scared of me
I'm not about to eat you up for tea
I'll meet you out the back
I'll meet you in the hall
I'll meet you in the classroom baby anywhere at all
I'm fast, no class, let's make it in the grass
And if you're thinking kinky I'll do anything you ask
Ch
You've got what it takes and I want it
You've got what it takes it's true
You've got what it takes and I want it
And I want the teacher in you
Well I've played with the toys of all the other boys
They bore me and they score me and they make a lot of noise
You're cute, astute, experienced to boot
I fantasize about me slowly taking off your suit
Ch
(I'll teach you teacher)

I wanna feel your love
03:15
|
|||
When there's nothing I can do
When you break my heart in two
When I feel my world is tumbling around me
When I think every little thing's against me
That's when I need to feel your arms surround me
I wanna feel your love
Touch me now
I wanna feel your love
When there's been some angry calls
Breaking down our fragile walls
Painting pictures of misunderstanding
That's when I need to hear 'I love you'
And I know I can never live without you.

Two Shadows
03:09
|

Two shadows
I was standing in the dark, watching from the park across the road
Two shadows
I foolishly denied the love I had inside and let you go
But not a day had passed before I knew
I couldn't last a moment without you
So I came to you with my heart upon my sleeve
And you asked me very quietly to leave
Two shadows on the blind very gracefully entwined
Two shadows and my love I left behind
Two shadows
Hoping it's not true, hoping it's not you and her alone
Two shadows
Crossing to embrace, then I had to face it and go home
It's not a normal habit I pursue
But spying caught the man I thought was true
And it's probably just as well, but only time will tell
Cos I just can't keep from crying over you
And somewhere in the universe there'll be
A silhouette who's waiting just for me
Two shadows on the blind very gracefully entwined
Two shadows and my love I left behind

I put a spell on you
03:19
|
|||
Do you wonder why I changed
Do you wonder I don't seem the same
Do you wonder when your lips meet mine why they taste like wine
You're not living in a fantasy
Cos the witch in me put a spell on you
Put a spell put a spell
And you can't even tell
I put a spell on you
Do you remember the day
When I was someone you'd just brush away
And overnight over a cup of tea you saw me differently
This all happened kinda magically
Some hocus pocus and betwitchery
Cos the witch in me
Ch
Don't you know how hard I tried to notice me
Changed my clothes, I changed my face and my identity
Finally I knew one more thing I could do
That's when I cooked up a brew for you
This all happened kinda magically
Some hocus pocus and bewitchery
Cos the witch in me put a spell on you

Garden of love
02:59

My garden of love is just fading away
The beautiful colours will not see the light of day
My memory's fading, my body is poor
I can't seem to contact the loved ones that I adore
Where can I find my sweet garden of love
Planted with laughter and help from above
My sweet garden
My sweet garden
My sweet garden of love
The apples are ripening
So fast on the tree
But who's here to pick them
The branches too high for me
Please bring back the children
Let laughter abound
My eyesight is failing
The fruit dying on the ground
Where can I find my sweet garden of love
Planted with laughter and help from above
My sweet garden
My sweet garden
My sweet garden
Where are the children
My beautiful children
My sweet garden of love
