PROMISE YOU

I don’t express myself as well as I would always wish
That’s why I have to show you
The universe will be a better place in which to live
If I can really know you

But as I try my best to understand your secret world
I feel I’m going around in circles
It’s hard to see how I will ever learn
What makes you happy

When all you want is someone by your side
A trusted friend in whom you can confide
Do you then think of me?
Because I’m not the enemy

And if I could run
You know I wouldn’t run
We’ve only just begun
I’m here to stay
It’s tearing me apart
What’s locked up in your heart
That beautiful heart
I’ll never betray
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

Breaking promises is easy, I’ve broken enough
I’m not proud of my behaviour
For far too long I’ve been a temperamental fool for love
Looking for a saviour

Nothing’s certain in a lifetime, doubt will fill your mind
If you let it overwhelm you
Sit back relax and you may start to find
What makes you happy

When all you want is someone by your side
A trusted friend in whom you can confide
Do you then think of me?
Because I’m not the enemy

And if I could run
You know I wouldn’t run
We’ve only just begun
I’m here to stay
It’s tearing me apart
What’s locked up in your heart
That beautiful heart
I’ll never betray
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

And if I could run
You know I wouldn’t run
We’ve only just begun
I’m here to stay
It’s tearing me apart
What’s locked up in your heart
That beautiful heart
I’ll never betray
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
This I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

HEAL THIS HEART

I can’t stop the thoughts
That rush into my head
Thoughts of you of course
And everything you’ve said

When you’re away from me it hurts (oh it hurts)
It’s bad enough by day
But in the night
That’s when it gets worse

I wonder where you are at this moment in time
Are you going out with a girl on your mind
I’ve always been the victim of emotional crime
Please help me to heal this heart of mine

This is worse than murder
I’ve sunk so very low
I can’t go any further
There’s nowhere left to go (nowhere left to go)

I’ve chased after you for years
I’ve nearly reached the end
It’s either happy
Or it’s full of tears

I wonder where you are at this moment in time
Are you going out with a girl on your mind
I’ve always been the victim of emotional crime
Please help me to heal this heart of mine

Heal this heart with your loving
Heal this heart with your touching
Heal this heart with your giving
Heal this heart
Tonight

I wonder where you are at this moment in time
Are you going out with a girl on your mind
I’ve always been the victim of emotional crime
Please help me to heal this heart of mine

I wonder where you are at this moment in time
Are you going out with a girl on your mind
I’ve always been the victim of emotional crime
Please help me to heal this heart of mine
(heal this heart of mine)

MAN OF ROSES

She's slumped across her dressing table
There's very little on her mind
She knows that she will not be able
To ever leave the past behind

In her hand she holds a picture
Taken many years ago
It's all she has now to remind her
Of the man she used to know

By herself she spends the evening
Sitting still without a sound
And though she knows it cannot happen
Hopes that he will come around

Where is the man of roses now
Where is the head that wore the crown
Where is the dancing through the night
Where is the hand that held you tight

All the strength he gave to her
How could it vanish in a day?
Not even for a fleeting moment
Had she believed he'd go away

She doesn't bother with her make-up
She doesn't care about her hair
For as she always tells herself
It doesn't matter, he's not there

Where is the man of roses now
Where is the head that wore the crown
Where is the dancing through the night
Where is the hand that held you tight

So hard to fight
So long the night
When you're alone
And out of sight
So hard to fight
So long the night
When you're alone
And out of sight

Where is the man of roses now
Where is the head that wore the crown
Where is the dancing through the night
Where is the hand that held you tight
Where is the man of roses now
Where is the head that wore the crown
Where is the dancing through the night
Where is the hand that held you tight

A NIGHT LIKE THIS

I'll never explain it
As long as I'm alive
It must have been fated
For you to be by my side
And being here with you
Is just like having a dream come true

I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life for a night like this

Hear my heart beating
It's been quiet so long
But while our lips are meeting
It starts playing a song
If you kiss me again
The song in my heart will never end

I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life for a night like this
A night like this
A night like this

Everyone's looking at us tonight
We are the talk of all the world alright

I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life for a night like this
A night like this
A night like this

I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life for a night like this
A night like this
A night like this
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life for a night like this
For a night like this
A night like this
A night like this
Oh, a night like this
For a night like this
A night like this

TIME

I don’t want confusion
In my life
No cheap illusion
To make me smile

I don’t want discussion
Through the night
No well meant compassion
Can make things right

I don’t want a car
I don’t want a plane
I don’t want this heart
Broken again

All I want
All I need
Is time
Time is for me always so hard to find (to find)
All I want
All I need
Is time
I just need time (time)
Time, Time

Taking it easy
In my room
Where no one can find me
Through the gloom

I’d stay here forever
If I could
From here the world’s never
Looked so good

Nothing’s the same
Nothing will change
Out of the game
I’m out of range

All I want
All I need
Is time (time)
Time is for me always so hard to find (to find)
All I want
All I need
Is time
I just need time (time)
Time

Maybe I should
Maybe one day
I should find someone else
Not now, I’m not ready now
I think I’ll stay here by myself

All I want
All I need
Is time
Time is for me always so hard to find (to find)
All I want
All I need
Is time
I just need time
Time
Time
Ooh

All I want
All I need
Is time (time)
Time is for me always so hard to find (to find)
All I want
All I need
Is time
I just need time
Time
Time
