The Storyman lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I lived my life in the words of a Storyman,
Watched my dreams from the years gone by,
Heard my voice in the songs of a Storyman,
Always by my side, always by my side;

I saw him first in a castle by candlelight,
Turning round with a golden key,
I heard a train far away, and a whistle blow,
Like a baby's cry, 'twas like a baby's cry;

Ravens stood on the walls of Jerusalem,
Sailors danced at the borderline,
Light a fire on the road to the ferryman,
Emotions running high, in the summertime;

Take me back to the places I've never been,
Take me back to another time,
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
Only in my mind, only in my mind;

Late last night I met up with a lady-love,
Dressed in red, didn't say goodbye,
Carry me to the last time I showed her what
Tender hands can do, and I'll be missing you;

Take me back to the places I've never been,
Take me back to another time,
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
Only in my mind, only in my mind;

Follow the light that's shining on to where we will be going,
Up to Heaven, Paradise, or to the heart divine;
It's in the echoes of a child, waiting for the journey,
The spirit of one world;

Oh take me back to the places I've never been,
Take me back to another time,
Take me back to a world I have never seen,
Only in my mind, only in my mind;

I lived my life in the words of a Storyman...

My Father's Eyes lyrics - Chris De Burgh (feat. Hani Hussein)

I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes,

I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes,
I have heard it, I have heard it in my father's voice,
It's been a hard life, a hard fight, and all of the things that he wanted
Are in his hand, but silver would not betray what's written in the sand,
And a wall will not keep his people from the Promised Land;

And I will never believe that the same thing could happen to me,
And I will never believe I'll give up on the dreams that I see
In my father's eyes, my father's eyes;

[Egyptian Hani Hussein]

And I will never believe that the same thing could happen to me,
And I will never believe I'd give up on the dreams that I see
In my father's eyes;
In my father's eyes, in my father's eyes;

And I will never believe that the same thing is happening to me,
And I will never believe I'd give up on the dreams that I've seen
In my father's eyes, in my father's eyes, my father's eyes;

I have seen it, I have seen it in my father's eyes.

"The Road To Freedom" (2004)

The Road To Freedom lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I feel the wind blowing through my doorway,
It's telling me that the summer's gone,
And the winter waits in shadow, waiting with the storm;

I am old and my bones are weary,
And my son he is all I have,
But he has gone to fight for freedom, leaving with my heart;

All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
But can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground,
Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?
Oh oh oh....

I watched them sail from the rocks below me,
'Twas like the sea in its endless rage,
Many fall on the road to freedom, dying on the stones;

All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands,
But can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground,
Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again?
Oh oh oh....

Late last night, as the world was sleeping, I dreamed my boy,
He was calling out, 'cos he was lost in some dark forest, and
Snow was falling down, falling on the ground......ooh.....

Snow Is Falling lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Snow is falling, snow is falling on the ground,
In the forest, in the forest there's no sound;
A shallow grave is where we lie,
The boys and men who died,
And snow is falling on the ground,
And we are calling to be found;

And the seasons, and the seasons come and go,
In the springtime, birds will sing and flowers grow,
At summer's end, the autumn breeze,
Will whisper through the trees,
And leaves are falling on the ground,
And we are calling to be found;

And in our homes, so many tears,
They don't know where we have gone,
And snow is falling on the ground,
And we are calling to be found,
We are calling to be found......

The Words "I Love You" lyrics - Chris De Burgh

There are those who think that love comes with a lifetime guarantee,
But we know from those around us, that this may not always be,
It's the simple things that come between a father and a son,
But when they try to talk, the knives are out before they have begun;

Well that was me, and I have seen the light that shines for eternity,
Because I learned to say the words "I love you;"

So many hearts have been broken by the lies of history,
And so many arms are still open for that final mystery;
We must show respect for all the rest, and what a man believes,
And the one who died upon the cross, well he is the one for me,
And he said "Come with me and you will see the light that shines
For eternity, be strong and learn to say the words "I love you;"

And this endless road that we are on just keeps on going round,
But there's one destination that always is here to be found;

So come with me, and you will see the light that shines for eternity,
Be strong and learn to say the words "I love you,"
Be strong and learn to say the words "I love you," the words "I love you,"
The words "I love you," the words "I love you."

Songbird lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I heard a voice so pure and easy, a songbird singing for me,
I had no choice, only to listen, and surrender to her world;
And she will fly over the rainbow,
She will walk in fields of gold,
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
Will the angels cry like me?

At first alone, then with hundreds around me,
Enchanted by her song,
But as the day is done, and the darkness is falling,
The songbird sings no more;

And now she flies over the rainbow,
And she walks in fields of gold,
And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
Will the angels cry like me?

And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,
Will the angels cry like me, will the angels cry like me?

Five Past Dreams lyrics - Chris De Burgh

It's five past dreams, I should be home asleep,
But I just want to keep this moment alive, it's just you and I,
And I can't deny that I've had too much to drink tonight,
But everybody's gone, and we're still going strong,
Thinking of bed, dancing instead, you're lovely in red;

And we are moving cheek to cheek, and I know that I'm with
The only one who makes it right, it's in your eyes, and your smile,
And the way you look tonight;

It's five past dreams, the world is waking up, just like I should
Have done a long time ago, maybe I'm slow, I just didn't know,
That the saviour of my heart is right here, in my arms, you are
The one who makes it right with your eyes, and your smile,
And the way you look tonight;

And I know that I'm with the only one who makes it right,
It's in your eyes, and your smile, and the way you look tonight;
With your eyes, and the way you look tonight.

Here For You lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I don't know where the time has gone, suddenly here we are alone,
Only a word before you go, everyone's waiting;
So many friends to say goodbye, so many tears they'll have to cry,
So many wings to help you fly where you are going;

And now a plane must take away my child that life has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
Sending my love with you tonight;

I will be waiting, I will be waiting, here for you, here for you;

I don't know where the years have gone,
Suddenly here, and you have grown,
It was like only yesterday when you were so young;
But here is the day we had to see, always the same eternally,
This is the way that it must be, now it is your world;

And so a plane must take away my child that time has found,
And you will be up in the sky, and I'll be on the ground,
Sending my dreams with you tonight;

I will be waiting.....I'm trying not to show,
But seeing you go, is the hardest thing that I have known;

I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright
I will be waiting, don't worry 'bout me, I'll be alright,
Here for you, here for you,

I don't know where the years have gone.....

What You Mean To Me lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Una mesa para dos, vino tinto de la casa,
Esta noche vaya con amor!

This is the place to be on a night like this,
The moon is shining on the silver sea where lovers kiss,
So many times it was you and me, oh it's good to be here again,
It brings back the memories of what you mean to me;

This is the way to be on a night so fine,
Everybody's on the walking street, with Spanish wine,
And then we call into that little place where we had
Those long romantic nights, and drink to the memories,
And what you mean to me;

And it has been such a long old road to where we are today,
And just like all the rest there is a price we must pay,
But we've been through all the bad times, and we've seen off
All the sad times, and here we are, stronger than yesterday;

So let's go back to our favourite place,
For another long romantic night,
And drink to these memories, and what you mean to me;

Mas la Plana de Barcelona,
Y Rioja, Vega Sicilia,
Dos botellas - por favor!

So here we are in that little place for another long romantic night,
Let's drink to memories, and what you mean to me;
Here's to the memories, and what you mean to me.

Una mesa para dos,
Y Rioja, Vega Sicilia,
Dos botellas, vaya con amor!

Rose Of England lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Hear my voice and listen well, and a story I will tell,
How duty brought a broken heart, and why a love so strong
Must fall apart;

She was lovely, she was fine, daughter of a royal line,
He, no equal, but for them it mattered little for they were in love;

Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,
There the blood will run;

Oh my heart, oh my heart;

Through the summer days and nights, stolen kisses and delights
Would thrill their hearts and fill their dreams with all emotions
That true love can bring;

But black of mourning came one day, when her sister passed away,
And many said on bended knee, she has gone, and you must be our Queen;

Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,
There the blood will run;

Oh my heart, oh my heart;

To the abbey she did ride, with her lover by her side,
When they heard the church bells ring, she was Queen
And one day, he'd be King;

But men of malice, men of hate, protesting to her chambers came,
"A foreign prince will have your hand, for he'll bring peace
And riches to our land;"
She said, "Do you tell me that I cannot wed the one I love?
Do you tell me that I am not mistress of my heart?"

And so with heavy weight of life she kissed her lover one last time,
"This land I wed, and no man comes, for if I cannot have you, I'll have
None;"

Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
Rose of England have a care, for where the thorn is,
There the blood will run;

Oh my heart, oh my heart.

The Journey lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Go with love upon your journey, go with wonder in your heart,
May the light be there to guide you through the terrors of the dark,
You have always been a good friend, but I won't know when you
Have arrived, and I wish that I could see you one more time;

There's a rainbow on the water, there's an eagle in the sky,
Can you hear me up where you are, can you see me when I cry?
You have left so much behind you, all the love you have given life,
And I wish that I could hold you one more time;

And they are always here beside us in a parallel point of view,
And still they call, the ones who've gone before,
Will you take me by the hand when I come through?

You have left so much behind you, all the love you have given life,
And I wish that I could hold you one more time;

Yes they are always here beside us, in a parallel point of view,
I hear them call, the ones who've gone before,
Will you bring me to the light when I come through ?

Go with love upon your journey, go with wonder in your heart,
May there be someone beside you, who can hold you in the dark,
When you get down to the river, don't pay him till the other side,
And I wish that I could see you one more time, how I wish that I
Could see you one more time.

Go with love upon your journey.

Read My Name lyrics - Chris De Burgh

For every child that has been born there is a chance to shine,
And everyone can have a dream until the end of time,
So live for every moment as the world keeps turning round,
And lift your hands up to the sky and say it loud and proud,
"I have been here, read my name, read my name! "

For every child that has been born there is a chance in life,
To try it all and be someone with what we have inside,
So don't give up and don't give in, just give it all instead,
And raise your voice above the crowd and let them know
You've said "I have been here, read my name, read my name;
With all I've got I've taken part, I've made a difference
To the world, I have been here just read my name!"

Endlessly amazing and inventive that we are, we dive the
Deepest oceans and we reach out for the stars,
And one day there will be a man across the universe,
Who'll say "I come from Planet Earth" and these will
Be his words; "I have been here, read my name, read my name;
With all I've got I've taken part, I've made a
Difference to the world, I have been here, just read
My name !"

And when the darkness has to fall and comes the end
Of days, then lift your hands up to the sky and say it
Once again....."I have been here and I have taken part,
I've made a difference to the world I have been here,
Just read my name!"

"I have been here... just read my name.
I've taken part... reach for the stars,
Across the universe... we come from Planet Earth."

Even Now lyrics - Chris De Burgh


Even now,
when I think of all the summers that have gone,
and all the friends and lovers I have known,
still there is a memory that will not let me go,

And I see your face,
and suddenly its just like yesterday,
a photograph that never fades away,
taking me to a place I thought I had left behind.

Even now, I wake up in the night because your name,
has been wispered in my dreams,
and I still miss you, even now.

And I wonder why,
after all the years that we have been apart,
recently an aching in my heart,
is bringing you back to me,
are you out there calling me?

Even now, I think of how you're living every day,
because there is someone who can say
I still miss you, even now.

Even now, I wake up in the night, because your voice,
has come wispering in my dreams,
and I feel that you are near,
and I call your name,
and I believe that there will be a day,
when I will hold you once again,
cause I still miss you, even now.

What I'm trying to say is I still love you, even now.

Even now.....

Kiss Me From A Distance lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Kiss me from a distance,
Hold me in your arms,
Tell me that you love me,
Whisper in the dark

The words I long to hear
When you are lying in your bed
And though you're far away
You will be with me here instead.

When I hold you in my dreams tonight,
when I hold you in my dreams tonight.

Kiss me from a distance,
Listen to my voice,
Soon I will be with you,
Standing at your door.

The moon and my imagination
Shimmer in your head,
Your arms are reaching up for me,
I slip into your bed.

When I hold you in my dreams tonight,
when I hold you in my dreams tonight.

The moon and my imagination
Shimmer in your head,
Your lips are reaching up for me,
I slip into your bed.

When I hold you in my dreams tonight,
when I hold you in my dreams tonight.

When I hold you in my dreams tonight,
when I hold you in my dreams tonight.

Kiss me from a distance,
(in my dreams tonight),
Kiss me from a distance,
(in my dreams tonight),
Kiss me from a distance,
(in my dreams tonight).

Little Angel lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Another night of reaching out for you,
Another night I have to face the truth,
Oh how I wish the darkness could take away the pain,
And bring me back the joys of yesterday;

Another night I hold you in my arms,
I see your smile and feel your beating heart,
This room is full of echoes, and childhood memories,
And words are not enough for what I feel;

'Cos my heart is more than broken, it is shattered,
And your face is all that I see in my dreams,
With a pain imagination could never believe,
Little angel, sleep in peace;

Oh how I wish this darkness could take away the pain,
And give me back the life of yesterday;

'Cos my heart is more than broken, it is shattered,
And your face is all that I see in my dreams,
With a pain imagination could never believe,
Little angel, sleep in peace,
Little angel, sleep in peace.

Once Upon A Time lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Daddy I can't sleep tonight, it's happening again,
Voices in the kitchen are shouting
And it's keeping me awake,
Is it something I've done wrong?
Maybe it's all my fault,
And why is Mummy crying all the time?

Lately I've been dreaming, dreaming of the day,
We will come together and be a happy family again,
Remember how it used to be, sitting here on my bed,
Both of you with stories,
When you came to say goodnight;

Once upon a time you must have loved her,
And held her in your arms,
And told her she's the best thing in your life,
And it's so sad, it's so bad,
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore;

Someday when I'm older, will it be the same,
To wake up in the morning,
And find that everything in life has changed?
Well I never want to see that day,
I never want to leave this home,
But most of all I never want to hear
You say goodbye;

Once upon a time you must have loved her,
And held her in your arms,
And told her she's the best thing in your world,
And it's so sad, it's so bad,
To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore;

To think that you don't love her like before,
Once upon a time.

"Timing Is Everything" (2002)

Guilty Secret lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I'm living with a guilty secret, deep in my heart,
Living in a guilty secret life;

We meet at night, we stay out late,
And we avoid the man who makes her life so bad,
'Cos he doesn't want her, the way that I want her,
He doesn't need her the way I do;

The phone is hot with whispered words,
And when we can't speak we have textual delight,
'Cos he doesn't need her, the way that I need her,
He doesn't love her the way I do;

We're living with a guilty secret deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
And anytime I want to see her,
Just have to dream, I love her;

Oh it's alright, 'cos we've got time
- A good thing's worth waiting for -
And it's my life and I can say that
She's mine, mine, mine;

There was a time, he was my friend,
But now the way he treats that woman is the end,
And she doesn't love him, the way that she loves me,
She doesn't want him anymore;

We're living with a guilty secret deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life, and anytime I want to see her,
Just have to dream, I love her, I really love her,
Oh it's alright, 'cos we've got time - a good thing's worth
Waiting for - and it's my life, and nobody knows that
She's mine, mine, mine;

We're living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
Mmm, living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
Living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life,
We meet at night - guilty secret,
We stay out late - guilty secret,
The phone is hot - guilty secret,
Whispered words - guilty secret,
Mmm, living with a guilty secret, deep in our hearts,
Living in a guilty secret life.

If Beds Could Talk lyrics - Chris De Burgh

If beds could talk, mine would be singing,
Singing about the time when you and I were lovers,
All night long, we could not stop,
They were amazing times, they were the crazy times,
They were the best that I have known,
Another place to fly, another taste to try,
We were awake in a beautiful dream;

If beds could talk, mine would be saying,
Come back and hold me in your arms again,
If beds could talk, mine would be calling,
Come back and let me love you once again;

If walls could hear, mine would remember
Every word we said when you and I were lovers,
All night long, we could not stop,
Remember every kiss, and every touch of lips,
And every sensual delight,
They were hypnotic times, they were erotic times,
They were a thousand Arabian nights;

If beds could talk, mine would be saying,
Come back and hold me in your arms again,
If beds could talk, mine would be calling,
Come back and let me love you once again;

If beds could talk, if walls could hear, if windows see, imagine,
The moments and the memories, they all come flooding back,
If tables turn, if wheels caress, if mirrors see the passion,
You'd be the best of them all;

If beds could talk, mine would be saying,
Come back and hold me in your arms again,
If beds could talk, mine would remember, so
Come back and let me love you once again,
If beds could talk - mine would be singing,
If beds could talk - mine would remember,
If beds could talk - mine would be calling,
If beds could talk - mine would be waiting,
If beds could talk - mine would be singing,
If beds could talk,
If beds could talk,
If beds could talk...

Lebanese Night lyrics - Chris De Burgh


It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,
And in her eyes I saw the stars,
And I felt something happen in my heart;

Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,
And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,
It was then I heard the echoes of a child;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;

We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
Her tears fell down, the sun came up,
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;

All of my life, all I have known,
only a place where peace cannot go;
All over the world, the gift from before,
nothing is left for the children of war;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon.

Timing Is Everything lyrics - Chris De Burgh

We play the game, we pay the price, with luck that comes and goes,
No matter what the Gods decide, we always spoil their show,
Just like when you are finally near the lover of your dreams,
And as you stand there waiting, she turns and walks away;

And you discover that timing is everything, you've got to get it right,
Timing is everything in life;

We break apart when world's collide, as everybody knows, we know it!
You hear she'll be somebody's bride, and just can't let her go,
So get down to the church, and let her see you once again,
Before you know it she's kissing you, and throws the ring away;

And then she whispers to you, timing is everything, you finally got it right,
Timing is everything in life, timing is everything in life;

Sooner or later all good things come to your heart, in life
It's a waiting game;

When you remember that timing is everything, you've got to get it right,
Timing is everything in life, timing is everything,
Timing is everything, timing is everything, timing is everything,
We play the game, we pay the price - timing is everything,
No matter what the Gods decide - timing is everything,
We break apart when worlds collide - timing is everything,
We play the game, we pay the price - timing is everything,
No matter what the Gods decide - timing is everything,
We break apart when worlds collide - timing is everything...

There's Room In This Heart Tonight lyrics - Chris De Burgh

How many times can I look in your eyes,
And say I have nothing to give?
And how many more times must I wake in the night
With dreams of the way that you live?

Well I can hear you crying in silence,
I can see you, lost in the dark,
And I am near you, turn to me now,
There's room in this heart tonight;

So many people all over the world
Are living in pain and despair,
And so many reach out for the hand that can help,
Still calling to nobody there;

Well I can hear you, crying in silence,
I can see you lost in the dark,
And I am near you, turn to me now,
There's room in this heart tonight;

There is a part of everyone
That cannot see and cannot hear, because we don't want to know,
But somewhere there's a bigger heart
that's reaching out for all of us, a place to go;

There are so many in life who need a helping hand,
Somebody who can heal the pain;

Yes I can hear you, crying in silence,
I can see you, you're lost in the dark,
And I am near you, turn to me now,
There's room in this heart tonight,
There's room in this heart tonight,
There's room in this heart tonight.

She Must Have Known lyrics - Chris De Burgh

She must have known from the moment she saw him,
From the look in his eye, and the way that he smiled,
She must have dreamed of lying beside him,
His hands on her body, his whispers of love;

There is nothing that the eye can't see,
There is nothing that the heart can't feel,
There is nothing that a love can't heal, whatever is waiting,
It is meant to be, it is meant to be;

She must have felt the stirrings of passion,
It's been missing so long with the man in her life,
But now at last there is someone beside her,
Somebody to guide her, someone to love;

There is nothing that the eye can't see,
There is nothing that the heart can't feel,
There is nothing that a love can't heal, whatever is waiting,
It is meant to be;

Oh the time will come when we'll be living the dream,
It's that miracle moment for being what we believe;

There is nothing that the eye can't see,
There is nothing that the heart can't feel,
There is nothing that a love can't heal, whatever is waiting,
Sooner or later, it is meant to be, it is meant to be, it was meant to be,
She must have known - it was meant to be,
She must have known - it was meant to be,
She must have known - it was meant to be,
She must have known;

Now she's heading for the sunshine,
She's gonna be like Shirley Valentine,
She must have known - it was meant to be,
She must have known - it was meant to be;
She must have known ,
Now she's heading for the sunshine,
She's gonna be like Shirley Valentine
She must have known.

The Best That Love Can Be lyrics - Chris De Burgh

There was a time the fire was burning bright,
And everything was shining in the light,
But when the heart is cold, together we're alone,
Thinking of reasons to stay away;

There was a time that love was in our bed,
Eternity in every word we said,
But when desire has gone, it's hard to carry on,
Going through the motions, when there's nothing there;

You have got my heart, and all I want from you,
Is just a kiss before we say goodbye;

And let me keep my memories of all the times we were amazing,
And I will keep in memories the best that love can be;

There was a time we had so much to say,
Together at the ending of the day,
But when the only words are all the ones that hurt,
Try to remember the way we were;

Take the past and hold it like a photograph,
'Cos it's the only way to say goodbye;

And we will keep these memories of all the times we were amazing,
And we will keep in memories the best that love can be,
The best that love can be;

We were amazing.

Bal Masque lyrics - Chris De Burgh

So many hearts, so many years, so many people in this vale of tears,
But there is one you will meet again, in this endless duet of the dance,
Then the carriages come and the ladies descend with their dreams,
With the gloves and the mask, nothing is here what it seems;

One touch is all it takes, two hearts will meet again,
I will know you tonight when I see you at the Bal Masque,
One touch is all it takes, two hearts will celebrate,
In the heat of the night, when I see you at the Bal Masque;

Another face from another time, another place in another life,
Behind the mask is an open door to the someone that you've been before,
Then the music begins, and the colours are starting to change,
She comes in from the garden, I know that it's her right away;

One touch is all it takes, two hearts will meet again,
I will know you tonight when I see you at the Bal Masque,
One touch is all it takes, two hearts will celebrate,
In the heat of the night, when I see you at the Bal Masque,
At the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque,
At the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque, at the Bal Masque,
So many hearts, so many years,
Another face from another time,
Another face in another life, at the Bal Masque,
So many hearts, so many years.

Love And Time lyrics - Chris De Burgh

She is alone again, wondering how her world could have been,
He's on the 'phone again, telling her he'll be working late,
"We're gonna have a real good life, the money keeps rolling in,
We can never really have enough," but he doesn't see,
What she wants is

Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion;

She is alone again, wondering how her night could have been,
He's had to go again, leaving her at a table for two,
"I'm working on the next big thing, this is really what I'm living for,
You can stay and have another drink," he just doesn't see,
What she needs is

Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion;

One day he'll wake up, and find out that she has gone away,
She'll be looking for

Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion,
Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion.

Another Rainbow lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Breaking bread and drinking wine, talking deep into the night,
Just dreaming dreams and making plans forever,
We have been the best of friends, and always said since way back when,
We'd change the world with mad ideas together;

Another rainbow to follow with you,
Another dream that may never come true,
It is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,
Another rainbow where gold may fall;

So we went our different ways, and though I had my darkness days,
I sailed the stars and I found what I was looking for,
You became a jack of trades, ace of all and king of none,
With hands that hurt from knocking on so many doors;

Another rainbow to follow with you,
Another dream that may never come true,
It is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,
Another rainbow where gold may fall;

And there will always be these moments, when you can turn to me again;

Another rainbow to follow with you,
Another crazy dream that just might come true,
'Cos it is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,
Another rainbow where gold may fall.

Save Me lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Once in a dream I was falling in love
With someone who looked a lot like you,
But just as our lips were starting to kiss,
I woke up on the floor;

It's one of those nights for standing around
And talking to people that I hardly know,
An incoming tone came up on my phone,
It was an SMS, and it said;

"Save me, I think I've had enough of this,
Save me, you are the one who can
Save me, take me away from here;"

I look in the room, there's nobody there,
And then I saw her with the long blonde hair,
I could not believe the girl in my dream,
Was waiting at the door, and she said;

"Save me, I think I've had enough of this,
Save me, you are the one who can
Save me, take me away from here;"

Oh, cue a hundred days and nights of special sensuality,
Since lady luck came knocking on my door;

An incoming tone is up on my phone,
Another SMS, and it said;

"Save me, I think I'm getting out of it,
Save me, no doubt about it,
Save me, let's get away from here;"

"Save me, save me, save me, save me,
Let's get away from here,
Take me away from here,
Let's get away from here."

"Quiet Revolution" (1999)

When I Think Of You lyrics - Chris De Burgh

There is something on my mind,
and I'm losing concentration
And I feel it everytime,
that you are near me.
I could tell you all about,
your picture at my bedside,
I should call you sometime,
and talk it over.

'Cos I get a kick inside,
and I feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens,

When I think of You,
sleeping,
when I'm dreaming, when I wake up, when I think of you,
walking,
when I'm talking,
when I look up,
when I think of You,

take me away to a land of mass confusion,
And I don't know what to say,
when I am near you,
I could stand here all day long,
just staring at your window,
But I have so much to do,
that's so important,
Then I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens,
When I think of You,

sleeping,
when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you,
walking,
when I'm talking, when I look up,
when I think of You

may get the feeling that I'm dancing on the ceiling,
When I get a kick inside, and my head is spinning too,
It just comes from time to time,
And it only happens

When I think of You,
sleeping,
when I'm dreaming, when I wake up,
When I think of you,
when I whisper to your picture, when I kiss it, when I think of you

When I think of you, when I'm dreaming we're together, on my sofa,
When I think of you, when I'm wishing that we're kissing, when we're dancing,
When I think of you.

Love Of The Heart Divine lyrics - Chris De Burgh

And he laid her down in a field of corn,
And the sun was on his back,
Up above there was, a clear blue sky,
she held him by the hand,
she had known him since they both were young,
He'd been always in her life,
And the first time that he had kissed her lips,
she knew it deep inside, that this was;

Love of a different world, love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine;

Through the long hot days and the summer nights,
he was always by her side,
Just a boy and girl in an innocent world, before the Flanders tide,
When the autumn leaves had turned to gold,
She would have her wedding day,
And the people sang like an angel choir,
And everybody said that this was;

Love of a different world,love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine;

Then the winter came, and the winds of war were blowing with the snow,
And he looked so fine in his uniform, she knew that he must go,
When the soldiers left on the morning train,
She was waving him goodbye,
And as the tears rolled down, for the very first time,
The baby kicked inside, and this was;

Love of a different world,love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine;

Love of a different world,love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones,love of the heart divine.

Living In The World lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Living in this fantasy, working with reality,
I have come back here again,to touch the sun and feel the rain,
Invitations, conversations,friends to make me strong,
I've seen that light, and I watch it shine, living In The World;

Well I believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea,
With every movement that we make, and every footstep that we take,
Inspirations, correlations, where we're meant to be,
There's so much more that I want to know,living In The World;

Oh-oh still the hunger, Oh-oh to see it all,
Oh-oh and the wonder of the sunlight in the morning,
And the moonlight on the bay,
I'm singing now;

Oh oh oh oh...oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh, living in the world
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh...
Living in the world.

Don't believe a word you read, and only half of what you see,
'Cos there are those who make it up, just to make that extra buck,
And when they write the poison,they will surely get it back,
And I'm still here, and I'm gonna stay, living in the World;

Oh-oh - In the spotlight, Oh-oh - it can be hard,
Oh-oh - it's a hotlight, when it's shining on the tough,
That's when the tough begin to shine,
I'm singing now;

Oh oh oh oh...oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh, living in the world,
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
Living in... the world;

I've seen the wonder of the forest in the light,
I've seen the miracle of winter birds in flight,
I've seen the universe come flashing in the night,
Living in the world;

And when they call me, I will be waiting, When it's time to go,
But I'm not ready yet!

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
Living in the world,
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh,
Living in the world,
Living in the world,
Living in the world.

Living in, living in, living in the world......

The Same Sun lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I cannot sleep tonight, I have you on my mind,
Even the wind is calling your name,
Though you are far away, I feel that you are near,
Whispering words from over the sea,
And if you wake in your night,remember that I will be here;

And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,
And like the same moon, that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely to the morning light.

Where there is love like this, forever, for all time,
I will be there, wherever you lie,
And where there are hearts that live together in one soul,
Nothing on earth will keep us apart,
And if you're crying inside, remember that I will be here;

And like the same sun that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,
And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely to the morning light;
I Love you, I love you, I love you;

And if you're crying inside, remember that I will be here;

And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with the dawn,
I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm,
And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight,
I will watch in your darkness and bring you safely to the morning light;

Same sun, same moon,
Same sun, same moon,
Same soul, same heart,
Same World, same stars - you will be forever in my world;

Same sun, same moon,
Same sun, same moon,
Same soul, same heart, oh, I love you I love you I love you,
Same world, same stars - you will be forever in my heart.

Nothing Ever Happens Round Here lyrics - Chris De Burgh

She was a girl from a one horse town,
The only place for miles around,
Cutting hair in the modern style,
Putting in the nine to five,
but, every night it was the same old dream,
On the cover of a magazine,
She, looked good but it could never come true,
'Cos nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here;

She had a boyfriend in the town,
He spent his days just messing around,
With stick shifts and steering wheels,
Motorbikes and automobiles,
And every night it was the same old thing,
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
And nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here;

They said nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here.

One day in a local bar,
She heard a movie man was looking for a star,
And everybody in the whole damn town,
Got the call to come on down,
And when she walked into the room,
Every heart went BOOM BOOM BOOM,
- Who's that girl?
She's exactly what were looking for,
But nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here;

They said nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here;

And so she took a screen test,
No doubt that she was the best,
The camera fell in love with her,
Before she knew it she was on the way to make that dream come true;

Now she's living in Hollywood,
And everything is looking good,
She thinks about the folks back home,
And her boyfriend all alone, but;

Every night it's still the same old thing,
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
And nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing ever happens round here,

They said nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here,
Nothing, no nothing,
Nothing ever happens round here;

A Woman's Heart lyrics - Chris De Burgh

A woman's heart is filled with passion,
A woman's heart is filled with lust,
If you don't believe that these things happen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's night is filled with dreaming,
Of the perfect man who may not be you,
If we don't see what she's been missing,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make,

She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She wants to get through to you,
She wants to say;

Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry,
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

A woman's day is filled with longing,
For a little romance and company,
If we don't look or just don't listen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;

A woman's heart is yours forever,
She will be true, to the one in her life,
If we don't give her love and affection,
Could be the biggest mistake, that a man can make.

She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She want's to get through to you,
She want's you to say;

Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....

Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

She wants to get near to you,
Don't turn her away,
She want's to get through to you,
She want's you to say,

Give me your night
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....

Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
and I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

The Last Moments Of The Dawn lyrics - Chris De Burgh

In the last moments of the dawn,
Before the day begins, before we say goodnight,
Hold me now, kiss me now,
My hands are shaking, and my heart is aching,
At the thought of making love with you,
Tonight, I would never dream that I would fall in love,
And it would be with you,
We're out at sea, just you and me,
Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing,
And your eyes are glowing with the light of love;

There is no explanation why it should be this way,
For you and me, must be destiny,
And from a new horizon, you came right out of the blue;

With the last moments of the dawn,
Could be the first day of my life with you;

Hold me now, kiss me again, 'Cos my hands are shaking,
and my heart is aching,
As the dream of making love with you
Comes true...........

In the last moments of the dawn, the last moments of the dawn....

I See You Everywhere lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I see you everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,
You took me on a highway to the stars, and left me halfway there;

I hold you in my dreams, your tender kiss is never what it seems,
'Cos when I wake up in the morning sun, I look, but you're not there;

I cannot believe this has happened to me,
It's been heaven in your arms,
You gave me so much, with an angels touch,
And then you took my heart;

I see you in the street, and people turning at my running feet,
But when I get up close a stranger's eyes, are looking back at me;

Oh I cannot believe this has happened to me,
Its like heaven for one day.
You left me like this with an angels kiss,
And then you flew away;

I see you everywhere, I see your eyes, I touch your hair,
I'm gonna take that highway to the stars,
And I will find you there;

I see you everywhere, I see you everywhere,
I see you everywhere, I see you everywhere..........

Everywhere.....
And when I'm looking for you, I'm gonna find you,
And when I find you I am, I'm gonna hold you,
And when I hold you I am, I'm gonna love you,
And when I love you it will, it will be forever.......

Everywhere........
I see you.... everywhere.....

Saint Peter's Gate lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I was lost in the dark,
And the fear was in my heart,
All around me the forest and the rain,
Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,
I must be getting near - Saint Peter's Gate!

When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall,
An old man with a beard of shining white,
He said "I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room",
And he took me all the way by candlelight,
And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red,
My name was written on the front in gold,
And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life,
And a voice began to call from down below;

Nobody will get through, nobody,
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.

"Come with me" said that old man, as he took me by the hand
"There is someone here that you have seen before,
In this room on the left, a man who did his best,
To bring joy and happiness to one and all;

But in that room on the right, a dictator in life,
We've been waiting for him here,as you can tell,
For all the blood he's spilled,
And for all the ones he's killed,
We condemn him to eternity in hell;

Nobody will get through, Nobody,
Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,
Nobody will be spared,Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.

I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room,
A woman, like an angel all in white,
And then she told me "You must run, for your time has yet to come,
Go now, before they change their minds",

And from the window I saw,
A thousand or more,
Bringing that dictator to his knees,
And his cries broke the sound,
Of my footsteps on the ground,
As I made it to the safety of the trees:

Nobody will get through,
Nobody not even you,
Can escape the judgement day,
Nobody will be spared,
Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at...
Saint Peters Gate.

Nobody will get through,
Nobody not even you,
Can escape the judgement day,
Nobody will be spared,
Heaven is only there,
For the ones who satisfy them at,
St Peters Gate.

You Look Beautiful lyrics - Chris De Burgh

You're looking good,
I Haven't seen you for a long time,
How've you been? I like the way you have your hair,
But something has changed,
And I can see a woman in your eyes, and in your smile;

Remember when we'd always be together,
And we believed this love would never die.

And ever since then,
I've often wondered how I'd feel if we should meet again,

And you look beautiful, you look wonderful,
You're like an angel heaven sent to me,
You look beautiful, you look wonderful,
I've got a feeling this was meant to be,

When we broke apart, we both set off to find the world,
And face the storms of life,
I thought I heard you calling,
When your ship hit the rocks,
And here we are survivors from the sea
Just you and me, out on the beach,

If you have time,
Lets get a cup of coffee, and talk about,
All the feelings that we share,
Cos when there's still love,
You know it from the moment that you see,
Those eyes again;

And you look beautiful,
You look wonderful,
You're like an angel heaven sent to me,
You look beautiful,
You look wonderful,
I've got a feeling this was meant to be,

Yes I know it this was meant to be,
You look wonderful,
Now I know it, this was meant to be;

I Want It (And I Want It Now) lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Four in the morning and I just can't sleep
I've got a craving now for something sweet
So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,
When I get there, it's deserted;

And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,
Under the sign that says, "Help Yourself"
If you really gotta have it,
then we really gotta sell it to ya
This is for people who say....

I want it and I want it now!
I want it and I just can't wait!
I want it and I want it now.
I want it and I will not wait......

I want it.......now

I sit at home and when I watch TV,
I gotta have remote control with me,
Oh and when I'm watching football,
I can go to total recall,
I got freeze frame, I got slo - mo.

This is the way that it was meant to be,
You gotta get ready for the century
I'm a total modern man,
And I got total modern plans
And it's so easy when you say.....

I want it and I want it now!
I want it and I just can't wait!
I want it and I want it now.

I gotta get a feel to try, gotta get a meal inside,
Gotta get a deal tonight, I gotta say....
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
And I just can't wait....

I want it and I want it now!
I want it and I just can't wait!
I want it and I want it now.
I want it and I will not wait...
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
And I just can't wait

I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
And I just can't wait

Here it is the new sensation,
Listen to the new generation,
We want something, we want it now!

You don't need no invitation,
Listen to the new conversation,
We want something, we want it now.......

We want it now,

Natasha Dance lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Natasha brings me kisses in the moonlight,
She kneels above me, silk upon my skin,
I reach for her, and I can feel her heartbeat,
Beneath her breast so heavy in my hand;

The rain is running rivers on my window,
And shimmers on the streetlights down below,
She's happy when I hold her in the shadows,
And whispers of a life I've never known;

And will you dance, Natasha dance for me,
Because I want to feel the passion in your soul,
And when you dance, will you tell me in a story,
The joy and pain of living in your world;

La la la, la la la, la la la la.......

And with the light I wake up in the morning,
And she has gone, it must have been a dream,
And then I see the roses on my pillow,
And now I know that she will come again;

And she will dance, Natasha dance for me,
Again I want to feel the passion in your soul,
And when you move, will you show me in a story,
The joy and pain of living in your world;

Natasha dance for me.........

The Rivers Of Abraham lyrics - Chris De Burgh

He walked alone up the rocky road,
To find the place, to read the stone,
And bring the word back, from the top of the mountain,
Where it would be;

The lightning struck, and the thunder roared,
As he lifted it up,
In the name of the Lord,
And many waited for the new revelation,
They are ready to go, they're going home;

And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden, and Paradise,
We will never be broken, and we will never die;

We cross the bridge to the silver bird,
And say goodbye to the ones that we love,
No skies or oceans in the place we are going,
Like seeds on the wind;

The time has come, we shut the door,
We are ready to go, in the name of the Lord
A world is waiting for a new destination,
We are ready to go, we're going home;

And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden and Paradise,
We will never be broken and we will never die;

And the rivers of Abraham, are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man and destiny,
To the garden of Eden and Paradise,
We will never be broken,
We will never die,

And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden and Paradise
We will never be broken and we will never die.

My Lover Is lyrics - Chris De Burgh

My lover is a morning with the sun,
Another day with her has just begun,
She's waking me up to see her world,
My lover is the light;

My lover is a chance to play the fool,
To shake a lot of trees and break the rules,
She's bringing me back the boy inside,
My lover gives me time;

And all through the days, there are so many ways to love her,
Its easy to do, when the heart and the soul are true;

My lover has the meaning of success,
She's telling me that I can be the best,
But if I should fail at least I've tried,
My lover has it right;

And all through the days,
There are so many ways to love her,
It's easy to do, when the heart and the soul are true,

My lover is a dancer in the dark,
Whispering the secrets in her heart,
She's opening up to my desire,
My lover in the night;

She is the morning sun,
She's the one,
Bringing me back,
The boy inside,
My lover in the night,
My lover is the light,
My lover has it right,
My lover is my life.

Quiet Revolution lyrics - Chris De Burgh

There's a quiet Revolution going on,
Like a fire in every corner of the world,
And friends that you have known for many years,
Are talking with a new light inside,
Talking with a brightness in their eyes;

There are quiet conversations going on,
As people speak about what they have seen,
And everywhere the feeling's getting stronger,
That soon there will be change in our lives,
From a thousand years of looking in the sky,
Something is coming now, something is coming now;

You will believe it when,
You will believe it,
When the light comes shining through,
You will believe it when,
You will believe it,
When it's shining down on you;

There are quiet celebrations going on,
So many have been waiting for so long,
To see the whole world waking from a dream,
And find a new dimension inside,
See a revelation in our time,
Something is coming now,
Something is coming now.;

You will believe it when,
You will believe it,
When the light comes shining through,
You will believe it when,
You will believe it,
When it's shining down on you;

We must guard against the enemy,
They can help us or they can betray us in the night,
Don't talk, don't talk,but this quiet revolution,
Can destroy the man of darkness with the light;

You will believe it when,
You will believe it,
When the light comes shining through,
You will believe it when,
You will believe it,
When it's shining down on you;

Shining on you, shining on you........

"Beautiful Dreams" (1995)




Girl lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Is there anybody going to listen to my story,
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much it makes you sorry,
Still you don't regret a single day,

Ah, girl... girl...

When I think of all the times I've tried so hard to leave her,
She will turn to me and start to cry,
And she promises the earth to me and I believe her,
After all there's time I don't know why,

Ah, girl... girl...

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
when friends are there, you feel a fool,
When you say she's looking good,
She acts as if it's understood,
She's cool, cool, cool, cool,

Ah, girl... girl...

Was she told when she was young that pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said,
That a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure,
Will she still believe him when he's dead?

Ah, girl... girl...

Discovery lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Lady love, go back to sleep,
Dry the tears from your eyes,
But I cannot stay with thee,
Until the morning,
For the dawn is breaking,
And my ship is waiting for me,
And I must go,
But I'll be back, yes,
Before this year is over;

And we sailed across the sea,
Till we found America,
'Round the Cape of Storms,
We set our sails for home,
And when the sea was roaring,
And the Lord I called,
To help my drowning men,
I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window...

And I have brought you silver,
And I have brought you gold,
And spices from the Indies in the hold;
I've seen ships on the horizon,
That I'd swear were going down,
And now I know for certain,
The world is round,
I have seen, my eyes have seen.

Oh, one day says Galileo,
A man will reach the sky,
And see the world completely,
From outside,
And gazing down from yonder,
On a world of blue and green,
He'll say with eyes of wonder,
I have seen, I have seen,
My eyes have seen.

In Love Forever lyrics - Chris De Burgh

There's an angel crying up in Heaven tonight,
And I've got the Devil in my heart,
Because I keep on saying things that I don't mean,
And it's tearing us apart;

There's a wild wind blowing in the desert tonight,
Oh how I long to feel the rain,
And let it wash away these lonely tears,
And bring us back again,
'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever;

There's a stranger waiting deep in every heart,
To say the crazy things we say,
But I promise you he won't be back,
To steal your dreams away;

So come up close and put your sweet hand in mine,
I'm gonna hold you all night long,
And if you wake up I will be here,
To tell you that I love you;

'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever,
...forever;

Yes, it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever,
Yes I know with you I will be in love forever;

It's a different world,
It's a different world,
It's a different world,
In love forever;

There's an angel crying up in Heaven, Heaven, Heaven...

In Dreams lyrics - Chris De Burgh

A candy coloured clown they call the sandman,
Tiptoes to my room every night,
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper,
"Go to sleep everything is alright;"

I close my eyes and I drift away,
And to the magic night I softly say,
A silent prayer, like dreamers do,
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you;

In dreams I walk with you,
In dreams I talk to you,
In dreams you're mine, all of the time,
We're together in dreams, in dreams;

But just before the dawn,
I awake and find you gone,
I can't help it,
I can't help it if I cry,
I remember when you said "goodbye".

It's too bad that all these things,
Can only happen in my dreams,
Only in dreams,
In beautiful dreams,
Only in dreams,
In beautiful dreams.

I'm Not Crying Over You lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I don't mind this empty room, and I like it when I'm alone,
I'm trying not to think about you, I'm not waiting by the telephone,
I'm watching a late-night movie, where the lovers say goodbye,
And it's really getting to me, and tears are in my eyes,
But I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, I'm over you;

I go out with all of my friends, and I'm hardly ever at home,
You know things just couldn't be better,
I have read it in my horoscope,
I might take a walk past your house, for a trip down memory lane,
You may see me at your window, standing in the pouring rain,
But I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, no I'm not crying,
I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not crying over you,
I'm over you;

No I'm not crying, I'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, I'm over you,
I'm over you.

Always On My Mind lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Little things, I should have said and done,
I just never took the time;

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely nights,
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine,
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind,

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind,

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

One More Mile To Go lyrics - Chris De Burgh

When the valley's quiet with the snow,
And the train has one more mile to go,
To the station where my love will be,
She waits for me, she waits for me;

Now the lights are shining down below,
And I see the village that's my home,
And I see all the places that I love,
It's been so long, been away so long,
And I'm nearly home, one more mile to go;

There is joy for loved ones coming home,
And everyone has gone, I'm standing here alone,
But in the shadows I can see her face,
She comes to me, she's here for me;

And now a light is shining round the world,
It's a magic night, for every boy and girl,
'Cos it's the time, when all men dream of peace,
On Christmas eve, we dream of peace,
And we're nearly home, one more mile to go,
Yes we're nearly home, one more mile to go,
And we're nearly home, one more mile to go.

"This Way Up" (1994)

This Silent World lyrics - Chris De Burgh

This silent world, we're living in,
Nobody knows, nobody knows 'bout me and you,
In silent words, we talk together,
Nobody hears, nobody hears a word we say;

And I would give anything to be with you now,
Yes I would give anything to be with you now,
Yes I would give anything to be with you now;

In silent dreams, we sleep together,
Holding you tight, holding you tight till morning comes,
With silent eyes, we see each other,
I'm looking at you, I'm looking at you, you look at me;

And I would give anything to see you right now,
Yeah I would give anything to see you right now,
Yes I would give anything to see you right now;

Oh I don't care what the people say,
Our secret will not fall,
'Cos I know love is here to stay,
We've got to keep a wall, 'round a silent world,
Come over here darling, come over here and talk to me;

And I would give anything to hold you right now,
Yeah I would give anything to hold you right now,
Yes I would give anything to hold you right now,
Yes I would give anything to hold you right now;

This silent world - I would give anything,
This silent world - I would give anything.

This Is Love lyrics - Chris De Burgh

It's the way that you move, it's the way that you smile,
It's your skin on my skin, it's that look in your eye,
It's the promise of you in the heat of the night,
When you open your door, it's the way that you bring me inside;

I can honestly say I have never before,
Had a feeling so good in my heart,
I can honestly say that I know it for sure,
This is love, this is love, this is love,
And I'm in your world;

It's the rhythm of you with your hips on my hips,
It's the things that you do with your mouth and your lips,
The caress of your hair, and your sensual kiss,
It's the way that we share in the moment that goes on forever;

When we finally fall from this heaven I feel,
I am lost in the light of your heart,
Oh sweet angel, it's shining for you and for me,
This is love, this is love, this is love,
And I'm in your world;

Open your arms, open your arms,
And reach for the wonder in me,
Open your eyes, open your eyes and see;

This is love...

This Weight On Me lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Some are talking of revolution, they've got guns and they got cash,
But nobody knows, nobody gives a damn,
So they call in the television who are happy to oblige,
And this nothing story's on the news tonight;

I don't need this information, I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this situation,
I have heard it all before,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me, no, no, no, no;

He was good and he was famous and a hero to us all,
And his name was known and loved all over the world,
But the moment he's dead and buried,
They are digging up the dirt,
They've got newsmen looking through his life for mud;

I don't need this information, I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this situation,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me, no, no, no, no;

For once in my life, I'm gonna stand up for truth,
Justice and glory forever,
Had enough of the news, I've got media blues,
To faking and lying I'm gonna say goodbye,
I don't need you in my life;

I don't need, I don't need,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need, I don't need,
I don't need this weight on me,

I don't need this information, I don't need it anymore,
I don't need this weight on me,
I don't need this aggravation,
I have heard it all before,
I don't need this weight on me.

Here Is Your Paradise lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I never knew love could be a silence in the heart,
A moment when the time is still,
And all I've been looking for is right here in my arms,
Just waiting for the chance to begin;

I never knew love could be the sunlight in your eyes,
On a day that you may not have seen,
And all I've been searching for, well words could never say,
When a touch is more than anything;

Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure;
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;

And in the dark night, you'll follow the bright light,
And go where the love must go,
And you will wake in the morning to a brand new day,
Take all your worries away;

Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore.

Oh My Brave Hearts lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Oh my brave hearts, we must leave this land tomorrow,
We can't live here anymore,
And in the quiet hours, we talk before the dawn;

And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows,
Telling us we must not go, oh but we cannot fight,
The power of the gun, to take away our land,
They take it from our sons, swear it on my hand,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
It's not gone forever;

Oh my bold hearts, we will go down to the city,
We will live by city light, but in the darkest hour,
Keep this fire alive;

We will grow strong, we will bring our wealth together,
Never showing what we have,
And when the time has come, we'll reach out for the gun,
Taking back our land, take it for our sons,
Swear it on my hand,

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunter's moon, and watch our river flow,
We will return to touch the open sky,
And see the eagle fly, and feel the morning rain,
It's not gone forever,
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We gonna come back, we gonna come back,
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We will return.

Blonde Hair, Blue Jeans lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen,
She looks great, she feels good, lives in my neighbourhood,
And when she walks past my house she brings me to my knees,
It's like a long dark shadow falling over me; I'm talking 'bout

Blonde hair, blue jeans, she haunts me in my dreams,
I wake up, I fall down, I'm lost in what I've found,
Because she lies beside me and whispers in my ear, please, please,
And when I start to kiss her she just disappears;

I'm gonna be where I wanna be,
That's holding her right next to me,
I'm gonna get her in my life, anyway at all; I'm talking 'bout

Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen,
We're so right, we're skintight, and I'll be with her tonight,
I'm gonna bring her up and take her on the floor,
And when the morning comes then she's gonna beg for more,

I'm talking 'bout, blonde hair, blue jeans,
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout,
Blonde hair, blue jeans.

The Son And The Father lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I was walking down that road, to the place that was my home,
And the memories of a life go on forever,
Here's the village, here's the sea and here's the place where it began,
When I found myself in the arms of Lady Madonna,
And then I listen for those footsteps, coming down the hall,
A father to his young boy, who was hurting from a fall,
You must have heard me crying, you must have dried my tears,
But you know, I just can't remember, just can't remember,
The son and the father, the son and the father;

Now I'm walking with my boy through the place that is our home,
And the memories of his life are growing forever,
And I'm looking through his eyes at all the wonders of the world,
Then hand in hand we will make this journey together,
And we will talk of men and pirates, and heroes in the dark,
I will tell him of the hungers and the mysteries of the heart,
And I will always hear you crying, I will always dry your tears;

And I pray you'll always remember, always forever,
The son and the father, the son and the father,
The son and the father, the son and the father.

Up Here In Heaven lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Up on the hill I see it begin,
Marking the heroes where they fall,
In the stone, in the stone the names of those who have gone;

And over the river, there is a place,
Where they remember boys and men,
Widows talk, widows talk of all that they could have been;

We can hear you, we can hear you whisper our names;
We can see you, we can see you reading our names;

Up here in heaven, we stand together,
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time,
Up here in heaven, we are forever,
There is only on God up here, for all of the world;

What of the children caught in the war,
How can we tell them what it's for,
When they cry, when they cry are voices heard anymore?

Are you listening, are you listening men of the war?
There is nothing, there is nothing worth dying for;

Up here in heaven, we stand together,
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time,
Up here in heaven, we are forever,
There is only one God up here, for all of the world;
There is only one God up here, the God of the world.

You Are The Reason lyrics - Chris De Burgh

A shadow in the moonlight, here she comes to me,
We sit and talk about it all,
And out in the distance, a dream is over,
All I've been working for;

This is not how I want you to see me,
I have done the best I can,
Now the only thing I believe in,
Is a woman and a man;

You are the reason I'll stay in the fight,
When I can't take it anymore,
You are the reason I wake in the night,
And say that I was only dreaming of it all;

And now in the dawn light, she talks with me again,
Remember all the things we've done,
Been through the bad times, and we've seen through the sad times,
We're stronger than before;

And you picked me up when I was falling,
And you gave me back my pride,
And you listen when I am calling,
And hear the man inside;

You are the reason I'll stay in the fight,
When I can't take it anymore,
You are the reason I wake in the night,
And say that I was only dreaming of it all,
You are the reason I'll stay in the fight.

Love's Got A Hold On Me lyrics - Chris Dea Burgh

I got a light shining over me,
I thought this could never be,
It's so amazing what I feel,
'Cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Up in the air walking down the street,
Smile like a fool at everyone I meet,
I wake in the night, I just can't sleep,
'Cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Too many heartaches, too many tears,
Too many women, too many years,
But I've got me a girl, who takes me high,
All the way to heaven day and night;

Love is a dance with a different beat,
And I can't stop my dancing feet,
I'm as high as I can be,
'Cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Too many heartaches, too many tears,
Too many women, too many years,
But I've got me a girl, who takes me high,
All the way to heaven day and night;

Love's got a hold, a hold on me,
Love's got a hold, a hold on me,
Love's got a hold, a hold on me;

I said love - love's got a hold - love's got a hold -
Love's got a hold on me.

The Snows Of New York lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I can see you now by the light of the dawn,
And the sun is rising slow,
We have talked all night, and I can't talk anymore,
But I must stay and you must go;

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me;

There are those who fail, there are those who fall,
There are those who will never win,
Then there are those who fight for the things they believe,
And these are men like you and me;

In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore,
Leaving footprints by the sea,
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand,
That was when you carried me;

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me.

"Power Of Ten" (1992)

Where We Will Be Going lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I've got every reason to be high,
I've got a place in the heaven beyond,
I've got dreams to live and I've got love to give,
And I know it in my heart and soul,
Where we will be going;

Well I lay me down to the northern sky,
I wake up with the light of the sun,
And the savage beast will surely die,
In the Bethlehem far below,
Where we will be going;

Oh... I've got the gold, and I've got the silver,
Oh... and I've got a place to call my own,

It's a way of living forever,
It's a way of living the dream,
It's a way of living the whole life,
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

I remember footsteps on the moon,
After Dallas darkened days,
When the whole world seemed to stop and look,
And they ask themselves every day,
Where are we going?

But the bowman turned and carried on,
Hal prepared for childhood's end,
And it came out of dark and wintry skies,
On a terrible December night,
In New York City;

Oh... hey John! are you out there listening,
Oh... way across the universe?

It's a way of living forever,
It's a way of living the dream,
It's a way of living the whole life,
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

Oh ay oh...
Oh ay oh...
Oh ay oh...
Come down to the river,
Come down to the sea;

I've got every reason to be high,
I've got a place in the heaven beyond,
I've got dreams to live and I've got love to give,
And I know it in my heart and soul,
Where we will be going,
Where we will be going,
Where we will be going...

By My Side lyrics - Chris De Burgh

It's all right I'm not lost,
I've got a reading on the Southern Cross,
And I've been listening to the radio,
For signs of new life,
Some people find the game too tough,
And there are those who've simply had enough,
But I'm still here and I'm not giving up,
I'm going the distance;

Whatever it takes ... I have to fight,
To build a better world ... and make it right,
And when I am alone ... it's late at night,
I reach out and you're right here by my side;

When everything has gone,
You help me carry on,
You lift me up, you make me strong,
You give love to see me through,
Oo oo oo what would I do,
Without you by my side,

By my side,

And out here on the flight,
I'm on a wing and a prayer tonight,
The moon is showing me the way to go,
I'm flying forever.

I've got what it takes ... to win the fight,
And build a better world ... and make it right,
But when I am alone ... it's late at night,
I reach out and you're here by my side,

When everything has gone,
You help me carry on,
You lift me up, you make me strong,
You give love to see me through,
Oo oo oo what would I do,
Without you by my side,

Always you're in my heart,
Always by my side,
Always you're in my life,
Always right here, and I love you now,
Always you're in my world,
Always I think what would I do without you, without you,
By my side,
Always you're in my heart...
And I need you now...

Heart Of Darkness lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear,
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
And people kept away,
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
When the morning comes,
And on and on that light returns again,
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;

I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place I knew when I was young,
And in my fear I had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started on the journey of my life;

And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
Through the doorway to another world,
And there below me I saw all the days of my life,
Till the moment I stood on the shore,
Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew,
Reaching out, "there is nothing to fear,"
Worlds away,
Come with me;

Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear;

Come with me, come with me, come with me...

In Your Eyes lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Some people fall in love in rooms that are so dark,
They can't see where they are going, and they lose their hearts,
But when I saw your face, it was a light so strong,
And I could see a long night coming on,

In your eyes, in your eyes,

And I saw driving down to the river,
Laughing in the rain,
Dancing out in the moonlight,
Papers in bed,
And I saw your delights as a lover,
Until the break of day,
And oh every time I look,
It's you and me together in your eyes;

Some people say that time changes everything,
With love there's no way of knowing what the world may bring,
But I don't mind at all, because it's you and me,
And all I've ever wanted, I can see,

In your eyes, in your eyes,

And we are driving down to the river,
Laughing in the rain,
Dancing out in the moonlight,
Papers in bed,
And I feel your delights as a lover,
Until the break of day,
And oh every time I look,
It's you and me together in your eyes;

In your eyes, in your eyes,

And I feel your delights as a lover,
Until the break of day,
And oh every time I look,
It's you and me forever in your eyes,

In your eyes, in your eyes,

Driving down to the river,
Your delights as a lover,
Dancing out in the moonlight...

Separate Tables lyrics - Chris De Burgh

At separate tables we sit down to eat,
In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night,
I only wish you knew how much,
You've been on my mind;

I think about you when the morning comes,
I think about you when all my day is done,
Wondering what you are doing now,
Are you lonely too?

Because I - I miss you here tonight,
And I wish you were by my side,
And I don't want to let go;

At separate tables we sit down to write,
The separate letters that never see the light,
If only we could just agree,
To read between the lines;

I want to see you and I know what I will say,
We must be crazy to throw it all away,
Never knowing what is lost,
Before it's all too late;

And I - I miss you here tonight,
And I wish you were by my side,
And I don't want to let go;

Yes I - I miss you here tonight,
And when I hold you by my side,
Well I'm not going to let go.

Talk To Me lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Talk to me, I need a little advice,
I've got you on my mind,
Words of passion coming out of the night,
You make me feel alive;

I'm not one in a million, I'm a million in one,
Thinking of ways to your heart,
I've got a feeling that it will be your hand,
Taking me higher and higher,

Talk to me! Talk to me...
Talk to me! Talk to me...

Look at me 'cos I've been looking at you,
I see desire in the night again,
Fascination and mysterious touch,
I know you feel the same;

This is one in a million, it's a million to one,
But I will be your lover in time,
Go with the feeling that is breaking inside,
You will discover it when you,

Talk to me! Talk to me...
Talk to me! Talk to me...

I am the one, yes I know I am the one,
I am the one for you now,
I want you beside me,
I dream of your body,
I see you and me there forever...

Talk to me! Talk to me...
Talk to me! Talk to me...

The Connemara Coast lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Nothing can compare with the Connemara coast,
Gazing out in silence with the one you love the most,
The beauty of this place and the echoes deep inside,
Make me think we're only just a moment in time;

Then lead on good light gently through the night,
Hand in hand together we will cross that line;

Nothing can compare with the way you are tonight,
Lying here beside me in the firelight,
And one thing I will say before this journey's end,
That more than being my lover, you are my friend;

Then lead on good light gently through the night,

Hand in hand together we will cross that line,
Whatever may come and wherever we may go,
I will always be with you,
Because you are my heart and soul,

Whatever may come and wherever we may go,
I will always be with you,
Because you are my heart and soul.

Brother John lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Well Brother John went down to the garden,
On a long hot summer's day.
To watch that girl he would hide in the shadows,
As she worked the time away,
With her long black hair and her eyes of fire,
And a body to drive men crazy,
It was on that day there would be a change,
In the world of Brother John;

She felt his eyes and she walked up beside him,
And she took him by the hand,
She said, "Brother John, it's so hard to be holy,
Would you like to be a man?
I will meet you tonight at the monastery wall,
If you're there we will find out together,"
And the Devil said, "There's a place in hell,
For the soul of Brother John;"

Hallelujah! Temptation is here,
It's not a dream anymore,
Hallelujah! It's finally here,
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...

Well Brother John lay tossing and turning,
In his bed in the heat of the night,
He heard his name and he went to the window,
Where she was in the clear moonlight,
Oh the sins of the flesh are too much to deny,
He was lost to her body forever,
And the Devil laughed and the angels cried,
For the soul of Brother John;

Hallelujah! Temptation is here,
It's not a dream anymore,
Hallelujah! It's finally here,
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...

Hallelujah! Temptation is here,
It's not a dream anymore,
Hallelujah! It's finally here,
I've been waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting...

Temptation is here for Brother John,
Temptation is here for Brother John...

Shine On lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Shine on, brighter than the sun,
Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
We shine on you and me tonight,
Way across the universe, burning like a fire in the night...

I was looking at a photograph,
Taken in a garden long before the war,
And out on the lawn,
There were old men and dogs and little children,
All of them gone forever;

There were people by the waterside,
Standing in the same place where I am today,
Nothing has changed - but you know,
That time is moving like a river,
It can only be love forever;

We shine on, brighter than the sun,
Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
We shine on, you and me tonight,
Way across the universe,
Burning like a fire in the night;

There are those who can never cross,
The space between a father and a son,
When they are young,
We must say all the words that should be spoken,
Before they are lost forever;

And I was looking at a photograph,
Taken from a window way above the world,
We've got to learn,
We must leave here a garden for our children,
When we are gone forever;

We shine on, brighter than the sun,
Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
We shine on, you and me tonight,
Way across the universe,
Burning like a fire in the night;

Shine on ...

Leave here a garden for the children,
Leave here a new world,
Leave here a garden for the children,
Leave here a new world,
Leave here a garden,
Leave here a new world,
Leave here a garden for the children,
Leave here a new world...

A Celebration lyrics - Chris De Burgh

Don't worry darling,
That's no forever in my eyes,
Just want to hold you for a while,
Nobody knows how it will go,
Spending this night together;

I can hardly believe it's true,
I can hardly believe it's you,
A celebration...

Turn it on and let it fly away,
And let's see what we can do,
Oh little darling, it's really something,
When it's me and when it's you;

I'm going to give you everything I have,
Until the night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?

I've got a feeling,
I've got a feeling in my heart,
We'd be together from the start,
Something inside you just cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;

I can hardly believe it's true,
I can hardly believe it's you,
A celebration...

Turn it on and let it fly away,
And let's see what we can do,
Oh little darling, ain't you something,
When it's me and when it's you;

I'm going to give you everything I have,
Until the night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?
Well this is it!

Something inside you cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;

And I can hardly believe it's true,
I can hardly believe it's you,
A celebration...

And this is it!
