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

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

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

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)

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

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

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
