I remember the first time I held you all night long.
Well we're still here now.
But where have all the years gone?
Holding yu this way tonight.
It's easy to see why.
CHORUS
All this time.
We held on to each other.
We knew we had to be strong.
All this time.
Through the tears and the laughter.
It's still forever after all this time.
In the fast movin' world.
Love is made and just thrown away.
But we've always kept the promises that we made.
Who would of thought you and me?
Would still be here where we said we would be.
Repeat CHORUS Twice
I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea
Two priests came round our house tonight
One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying
To serve the final rite
One to learn, one to teach
Which way the cold wind blows
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man,
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
And as these words were spoken I swore I hear
The old man laughing
'What good is a used up world and how could it be
Worth having'
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly like a silent tear
And all this time the river flowed
Father, if Jesus exists,
Then how come he never lived here
The teachers told us, the Romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire
Garrison town,
They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found
And all this time the river flowed
In the falling light of a northern sun
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
But they only get better
One by one
Music and Lyrics by P. Wagner
Now, as I had a look at you
it took a heartbeat and I knew
that the candle of my life was burning shorter.
You turned me ‘round to face myself,
to make me trust in what I am,
now, after all that I have done it makes me wonder I'm around.
Now the night has gone, better days to come.
All this time I have been afraid, it is not too late...
All this time while we talked my thoughts collided.
All this time I could have seen but I was blind.
All this time...
I thought I'd never see the day
that in myself I'd feel this way.
We are the meaning and we know. Forever different - the same.
Now the night has gone, better days to come.
All this time I have strained my mind, waiting for a sign.
Time is like a river that is running out to sea.
We can't touch the ground, so grab a blade of straw.
If you swim on waves of trust you cannot even drown,
I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog
And an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
Saw the sad shire horses
Walking home in the sodium light
Saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
And all this time
The river flowed
Endlessly,
To the sea.
Two priests came round
Our house tonight
One young, one old,
To offer prayers for the dying,
To serve the final rite
One to learn, one to teach
Which way the cold wind blows
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows
And all this time
The river flowed
Endlessly,
To the sea.
If I had my way
I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor
For they shall inherit the earth
One is better to be poor
Than a fat man in the eye of a needle
As these words were spoken
I swear I hear the old man laughing
What good is a used up world,
And how could it be worth having?
And all this time
The river flowed
Endlessly,
To the sea.
All this time
The river flowed
Father, if Jesus exists,
Then how come he never lived here?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Teachers told us
The Romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple on the edge of the
Empire garrison town
They lived and they died
They prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled
Till all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found
And all this time the river flowed
In the falling light of a northern sun
If I had my way
I'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
They only get better one by one
One by one
One by one, by one
One by one
I looked out across
The river today
I saw a city in the fog
And an old church tower
Where the seagulls play
Saw the sad shire horses
Walking home in the sodium light
Two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
================
All this time
I know some day you'd need to find
Something that you left behind
Something I can't give you
All these tears
And like a light love disappears
But hearts are good for souvenirs
And memories are forever
All this time
All in all I've no regrets
The sun still shines the sun still sets
The heart forgives the heart forgets
But what will I do now with all this time
One more kiss
Even though it's come to this
I'll close my eyes and make a wish
Hoping you'll remember
All this time
All in all I've no regrets
The sun still shines the sun still sets
And the heart forgives, the heart forgets
But what will I do now with all this time
Say goodbye
Apart we'll make another try
But don't be sorry if you cry
I'll be crying too
All this time
All this time
All in all I've no regrets
The sun still shines the sun still sets
And the heart forgives, the heart forgets
But what will I do now with all this time
What will I do now with all this time
All this time
I’ve waited for nothing
All of the things I think I need
Never make me feel complete
Say what you thinking
I’m only dreaming
But the words that you’re speaking
Only break my heart
All this time
I’ve waited for nothing (I’ve waited for nothing)
When I could spend all this time
Looking for something like our love (Looking for something like our love)
Baby, I’ll keep a key over there
Maybe I’m off and leave this town
Maybe tomorrow I’ll find someone that I’ll love
Every night
I sleep
But I keep waking
To the sounds
That I hear
Maybe you’re finally coming home
To say what you thinking
When I’m only dreaming
But the words that you’re speaking
Only break my heart
All this time
I’ve waited for nothing (I’ve waited for nothing)
When I could spend all this time
Looking for something like our love (Looking for something like our love)
Baby, I’ll keep a key over there
Maybe I’m off and leave this town
Maybe it’s better to just sit and wait
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow I’ll find someone that I’ll love
I’ll find someone that I’ll love

you self destructive
little girl
pick yourself up
don't blame the world
so you screwed up
but your gonna be ok
now call your boyfriend
and apologise
you pushed him pretty
far away last night
he really loves you
you just don't always love yourself.
all this time
all this time
you have had it in you
you just sometimes need a push
all this time
all this time
you have had it in you
you just sometimes need a push
think all the mean girls
that pulled your hair
are barefoot now and
pregnant there
and you write pop songs
and get to travel
round the world
all this time
all this time
you have had it in you
you just sometimes need a push
all this time
all this time
you have had it in you
you just sometimes need a push
so you've had some detours
some stupid men
now we know what not
to do again
besides you lucked out
finally
all this time
all this time
you have had it in you
you just sometimes need a push
all this time
all this time
you have had it in you

Chorus:
It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run
You've given me rain to wash away the stuff i thought i knew
And all that's left of me is you
v.1:
I've been sweeping around this room with a fine tooth broom
Still don't have a clue
I've been searching for signs of life
But nothings comin through
I've been flipping through pages full of golden rules
A wealth of tiny truths
Tripping over the same old things, I thought I'd long since moved
pc1:
I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man
And the fail-safe €œlove thy neighbor plan€
The promise, the creed, the other cheek, so help me
I need to get to you
Repeat chorus
v.2:
You've been paving the way, making it straight
The path has been cleared
I've been a little hesitant, but you still find me here
You've been flooding my thoughts
Now I'm breaking the locks making my way through
I can see to the other side and I'm so glad it's you
pc2:
I believe in the one about reaching out, living loud, and all my doubts I believe in
What I can't do and I believe, I believe in you
It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all this time to learn how to run
After the rain has washed away the rust and residue
All that's left of me is you
Bridge:
I believe I can overcome the things that have been left undone
I believe I have a place to go, somehow I know, I will get to you
Baby, after all this time
How can I leave you now?
Oh, yeah
All this time, I knew someday you'll need to find
Something that you've left behind, something I can give you
All these tear is like a night love disappear
And my hearts are good for souvenirs and memories are forever
All this time, on and on I've no regrets
But the sun still shine, the sun still set
And the heart forgives, the heart forgets
And what would I do now with all this time? Oh yeah
One more kiss even though it comes to this
But I close my eyes and make a wish hoping you remember
All this time, on and on I've no regrets
But the sun still shines, the sun still sets
And the heart forgives, the heart forgets
And what would I do now with all this time? Oh yeah
Say goodbye, your other give another try
Don't be sorry if you cry 'cause I'll be crying too
All this time, oh yeah, oh girl
All this time, I knew someday you'll need to find
Something that you've left behind, something I can give you
All these tears is like a night's love disappear
And my hearts are good for souvenirs and memories are forever
All this time, on and on I've no regrets
But the sun still shines, the sun still sets
And the heart forgives, the heart forgets
Six on the second hand
Two New Year's resolutions
And there's just no question
What this man should do
Take all the time lost
All the days that I cost
Take what I took and
Give it back to you
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
I don't know what day it is
I had to check the paper
I don't know the city
But it isn't home
But you say I'm lucky
To love something that loves me
But I'm torn as I could be
Wherever I roam, hear me say
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
Yeah, all running back to you
All running back to you, yeah
Oh, every time is so far
It's just so far
To get back to where you are
All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these love
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you
I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you, yeah
Straight in a straight line
Words & music by Jen Foster
Won't you please tell me just where you're going
I'm on edge with this uncertainty
I know I have made it hard to get to know me
It's terrifying - you may not like what you see
And I know that you would love to break me down
But some things are just too hard to talk about
All this time I've been lyin', been lyin' to you
So afraid that you'd leave me if you knew the truth
All this time I've been tryin' to reach out to you
All this time I've been lyin', where you goin', where you goin'?
Please don't leave, I never meant to hurt you
I'm just locked up in this solitary pain
I learned young that keeping secrets is a virtue
What happened to me - I can't bring myself to say
And I know that if I say it, it is true
And I'm scared that you would leave me if you knew
All this time I've been lyin', been lyin' to you
So afraid that you'd leave me if you knew the truth
All this time I've been tryin' to reach out to you
All this time I've been lyin', where you goin', where you goin'?
As you leave I say a quiet prayer for mercy
One more time, just turn around and look at me
And as I pray, you say you never would desert me
"In fact, come with me - I was just going out for groceries."
And the stars fade out in the sky tonight
I remember the moment
I remember the pain
I was only a girl
But I grew up that day
Tears were falling
I know You saw me
Hiding there in my bedroom
So alone
I was doing my best
Trying to be strong
No one to turn to
That's when I met You
All this time
From the first tear cried
'Til today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Oh,oh,oh,yeah
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since that day
It's been clear to me
That no matter what comes
You will never leave
I know You're for me
And You're restoring
Every heartache and failure
Every broken dream
You're the God who sees
The God who rescued me
This is my story
This is my story------
All this time
From the first tear cry
'Til today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ooooooooh
You've been walking with me all this time
I hear these people asking me
How do I know what I believe?
Well I'm not the same me
And that's all the proof I need
I felt love, I felt Your grace
You stole my heart that day
Ooooooooh
Youve been walking with me all this time
All this time
From the first tear cry
Till today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since the first tear cry
It was You, You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since the first tear cry
It was You, You and I
I own this place, it's part of me
It fills me up and swallows me
My emotions wrapped in vines
Are reaching for the sun that shines
Oh, I must say I adore you
But sometimes I seem to ignore you
That's because I don't deserve to
Have your love for me ever
All this time, I wanted you to know
That if you're ever, ever feeling low
You can always count on -- on me
To be there whenever you need
Since you took my breath again
Would you share your oxygen?
I can breathe one breath of air
Intoxicated by your stare
Standing in the middle of the street
Oh, please don't run over me
I been trying, trying to finally
Reach for a sun that shines
All this time, I wanted you to know
That if you're ever, ever, ever feeling low
You can always count on -- on me
To be there whenever you need
Oh, I love you so much baby
You are my -- you are my rising sun!
Oh, I love you so much baby
You are my -- you are my setting sun!
You are my rising sun
You are my setting sun
You are my rising sun
Sleepwalking through forgotten shadows of awakenings
Remembering when I felt alive
Your kisses were like truth as water in my mouth
Speak to me and I?ll taste again
It's been so long now
You seem so far away from here...from me
All this time you've been right beside me
Though I can not feel you near
All I need is one look in your eyes
I know I will be alright
Coming down the mountain I see the one I love the most
Quietly capturing my heart
And this soul's fire which so violently burns
I know you've been hurt before
But never say never, baby
Slow down, don't close the door
You've been waiting forever, baby
See I know your heart's been scarred
But you've come this far
So baby don't run away
I.. know you're close to giving up
I just want to give you love
And try to keep a smile on your face
So open your eyes & see that we belong together,baby
You'll be surprised to find that things can be much better
I.. want to take you to a place
Where love is something more than you imagined, yeah
I.. put it right in your face
Girl, it's yours
All you got to do is reach out and grab it
You waited all this time
You waited all this time
I put it right in your face
Girl, it's yours
All you got to do is reach out and grab it
You played your cards right into the broken heart
Baby, I'll never, I'd treat you like a treasure
It's not your fault, I know you took it hard
That was a mistake
For us it's never too late
You gave a lot when you were with him
Time to move on
You've just got to forget it
Cause baby, the sky is clear
The rain is gone, the sun is shining
I.. want to take you to a place
Where love is something more than you imagined, yeah
I.. put it right in your face
Girl, it's yours
All you got to do is reach out and grab it
You waited all this time
You waited all this time
I put it right in your face
Girl, it's yours
All you got to do is reach out and grab it
You waited all this time (x3)
You waited all this
Come together girl
Enter this chance, yeah
There's nothing to be scared of
Just grab my hand
If you need someone by your side
With the love inside
Night or day, I'll be there
You know I care
Cause I
I want to take you to a place
Where love is something more than you imagined, yeah
I.. put it right in your face
Girl, it's yours
Hey, well you figured me out
And that's alright now we've got something to talk about
Month of September, fourth floor apartment
We were the leaves, careless, and falling
No medicine can save us now
All of our secrets are coming out
Even though it was perfect
You'll just say that
All of this time, we have been pretending
Believing our own lies, so we never have to give in
We questioned purity as we dragged white sheets through the dirt of our jealousy
We're still pretending our hearts are mended
Safe from denial yet so defensive
So obvious we need a change
But telling the truth would feel so strange
Even though it was perfect
You'll just say
All of this time, we have been pretending
Believing our own lies, so we never have to give in
And it's all so familiar that I don't remember
Where we went wrong, where did we go...
All of this time, we have been pretending
Believing our own lies, so we never have to give in
All of this time, we have been pretending
Believing our own lies, so we never have to give in
And it's all so familiar that I don't remember
Where we went wrong, where did we go wrong?
This time yesterday,
I thought I was gonna die,
Standing at the edge,
Of my ordinary life.
Now I'm looking far ahead,
I only see clear blue skies,
I hope this feeling lasts,
Until the end of the time.
[Bridge]
Now I don't see the things that bring me down, like I used to (no),
There were times we felt like giving up, but we came through
[Chorus]
All this time, we've come a long long way,
I waited a life time for today,
I'm praying this moment's here to stay,
All this time, when everyone else said I was wrong,
You gave me a reason to be strong,
You gave me the will to carry on,
All this time
I kiss my moods away,
Yesterday's far behind,
All these clouds have died,
A crater on my mind,
I was looking far ahead,
I'm looking with brand new eyes,
Well, I can't see the future,
But I know it's looking bright,
[Bridge 2]
Never thought we could survive, but we've come through (no),
There were times we felt like giving up, but we held through
[Chorus]
All this time, we've come a long long way,
I waited a life time for today,
I'm praying this moment's here to stay,
All this time, when everyone else said I was wrong,
You gave me a reason to be strong,
You gave me the will to carry on,
All this time
It's like a second chance at life,
So many people passing by,
And you know it's a shame,
'Cause they can't believe,
So they don't and they won't even try,
With every battle that's been won,
With every little thing I've done,
But I couldn't see, it's not clear to me,
All this time, we've come a long long way,
I waited a life time for today, I'm praying this moment's here to stay...
All this time, we've come a long long way,
I waited a life time for today,
I'm praying this moment's here to stay,
All this time, when everyone else said I was wrong,
You gave me a reason to be strong,
You gave me the will to carry on,
All this time I see,
Finally I see, eventually
A place that’s meant for me,
Created just for me to be.
Tell me where to go, tell me where to go.
I’ll be there before, be there before you know.
I was looking high and low,
And every place I know I go.
Throughout the times alone,
You were right here all along you know.
Tell me where to go, tell me where to go.
I’ll be there before, be there before you know.
So finally you got me.
Don’t be letting go see,
This is the real me,
And this is where I am free.
Finally you got me.
Don’t be letting go see.
This is the real me,
And this is where I am free.
It took its time to come,
But got here in the end.
Days and nights are passing by
I just couldnt get you off my mind
all this time
i, Ive known you all my life
i always knew
youll always be a friend to me
youre there all this time
You were always there for me
you opened up my eyes
now I can see
that the one Ive been looking for
was here
right from the start
All this time
ive been searching for a love
that can make a brand new world
in my life
all this time
Ive been searching for a love
but Ive never really looked inside my heart
it was you all along
all this time
Now, now I understand
why I always cared enough for you
all this time
oh you, lift me up when I am down
you gave me all the strength i need
when im weak
you turn my hopes up high
You were always there for me
you opened up my eyes
now I can see
that the one Ive been looking for
was here
right from the start
All this time
ive been searching for a love
that can make a brand new world
in my life
all this time
ive been searching for a love
but Ive never really looked inside my heart
it was you all along
all this time
You lift my soul up high
i can barely touch the sky
you bring out all the best
that I can ever be
all this time
all this time
ive been searching for a love
no one in this world can take your place
all this time
ive been searching for a love
that can make a brand new world
in my life
all this time
ive been searching for a love
coz Hes finally given you in my life
it was you all along
all this time
oh its you.. Oh..
All this time it was you
I didn't think that it could be true
You were right there from the start
And what might be the strangest part
Is while I sure enjoyed the view
Of seeing everything brand new
It's still you
All this time I was home
I didn't know just how far I'd roam
Winter brings all this snow
Blinding, it covers everything you know
But when the sun comes shining through
And the sky returns to blue
Never thought you'd go, Oh oh my love.
You told me, you would always be mine.
Sometimes, looking back.
I see how happy we were back in time.
Always thought you'd be there, where could you go.
You were mine my number one. I'll wait all my life.
I'm gonna love you till the day I die.
All this time, waiting for my love to come back.
All this time, wondering why my love had to go.
If you love me tell me, I just wanna know.
Don't let me cry without you in my life
Gotta have you more, each passing day.
Such a mess, since you went away. See you by my side.
I'm gonna love you till the end of time.
Always thought you'd be mine, to have and to hold.
Said you'd never let me go. Oh love of my life.
I'm gonna love you till the day I die.
All this time, waiting for my love to come back.
All this time, wondering why my love had to go.
Someday you'll be with me oh I love you so.
I knew you loved me
I chose to go
Knew that you would find me
But I pretended not to know
It wasn’t cos I was unhappy
It wasn’t cos I was blind
Or could I have been when I said
I’m gonna let the wind blow
Leave the past behind
The memories will do just fine
They’ll saturate in time
I’m gonna make it on my own
Make it on my own
I took the highway
Built on sand
I knew you’d be there for me
But I refused to hold your hand
The going’s good all around me
But deep inside I can’t find a reason to live without
Can I let the wind blow?
Leave the past behind?
The memories may cloud my mind
I know I crossed the line
Should I just journey on alone
I can’t bear to find
The pain I caused you all this time
When I look in your eyes
I’m gonna let the wind blow
Leave the past behind
The memories will do just fine
They’ll saturate in time
Don’t have to make it all alone
Cos in your eyes I find
The tears that loved me all the time
All the time
I’m gonna let the wind blow
Leave the past behind
The memories will do just fine
They’ll saturate in time
Don’t have to make it all alone
Cos in your eyes I find
The tears that loved me all the time
Get out
Back to see me
I don't want to
Don't want to
All this time i wasted my thoughts
All this time i wasted my thoughts
round
thinking of you
All this time I'm thinking of you
I drove through the city streets in the darkest night
The radio played songs that reminded of you, so sad to think of you
Something went wrong
From the moment that we started, til the day we thorned apart
But we felt so strong
We could fight the world
Be two in one
All this time
Without you
And the distance between us
Will never change my love
You'll still be the one (The one)
All this time
On my own
I have lived with your memory
I hope you don't forget
The big love we shared
I don´t know where I´m driving no more, I can feel your touch
Somehow I can feel you are with me here every day and every night
So wrong but so real
We where lovers in secret
Didn´t mean to get so far
But we felt so strong
We could fight the world
Be two in one
All this time
Without you
And the distance between us
Will never change my love
You will still be the one
All this time
On my own
I have lived with your memory
I hope you don't forget
The big love we shared
It doesn´t matter how many years that pass from me and you
I will always think of you as a part of me that´s gone
All this time
Without you
And the distance between us
Will never change my love
You´ll still be the one
All this time
On my own
I have lived with your memory
I hope you don't forget
The big love we shared
All this time
Without you
And the distance between us
Will never change my love
You´ll still be the one
All this time
On my own
I have lived with your memory
I hope you don't forget
