Her face reflects as much of me as any mirror can
And my image in her eyes is all I know of who I am
But even as I see myself the lines begin to blur
For who I am has long been tied and tangled up in her.
And it isn't luck or chance she can read me at a glance
Not just because she's clever and she's smart
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
It seems like it's been centuries since she and I began
And both of us took all our chances on a single hand
Though we took it day to day it's gone from year to year
And no one ever close to me was ever half as near.
And it isn't any trick or because her mind is quick
She reaches my conclusions as I start
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
And amazing as it seems she brings magic to my dreams
Not just because she's mastered magic's art
No, it's just by now she knows my heart
By heart.
Oh, I know that You'll be watching over me
Your shining light has changed my life
It's like I've found my way home
I know You're near, hear You loud and clear
I could live on this feeling alone
Everywhere I go You are right there beside me
Anytime of night or day
Your name is on my lips, Your love I can't resist
Got to be with You wherever You are
I want You memorized so when I close my eyes
All I have to do is keep loving You by heart
I don't have to see, see You to believe
That Your not going away
I know You'll be watching over me
You're the shelter that's keeping me safe
I know Your arms they can reach out to hold me
Even when I'm feeling alone
Your name is on my lips, Your love I can't resist
Got to be with You wherever You are
I want You memorized so when I close my eyes
All I have to do is keep loving You by heart
Comes naturally like every breath I breathe
Don't have to think it's second nature to me
I close my eyes and You are there with me
You know me, You see me, You hear me, You heal me
Your name is on my lips, Your love I can't resist
Got to be with You wherever You are
I want You memorized so when I close my eyes
All I have to do is keep loving You
Your name is on my lips, Your love I can't resist
Got to be with You wherever You are
I want You memorized so when I close my eyes
All I have to do is keep loving You by heart
I'm gonna be wherever You are
I love You with my heart and soul
I close my eyes, all I have to do
Is keep on loving you by heart
I'm gonna be wherever You are
I love You with my heart and soul
I close my eyes, all I have to do
Girl, there ain't no way out
When something is meant to be
And darling, there ain't no doubt
I'm right where I want to be
So everything you see as the end of our road
I see as only a start
Girl, this ain't no time to stop before we begin
And though there's no promises
Every time I think how good it could be
I start to be believe it's up to the stars
I should use my head
But that only tends to lose me and confuse me
So every time I think how good it could be
I surely believe we'll make it that far
I should use my head
I only know you by heart, by heart
Girl, I know I'm in
Over my head
But now I need to find out
Just what you want from me
And if I'm reaching too high, you know we live and learn
That's all it takes in this life
I can't be overly cautious where love's concerned
I know there's no promises
Every time I think how good it could be
I start to be believe it's up to the stars
I should use my head
But that only tends to lose me and confuse me
Every time I think how good it could be
I surely believe we'll make it that far
I should use my head
But I only know you by heart, baby, by heart, baby
By heart, baby
By heart, baby
So everything you see as the end of our road
I see as only a start
This ain't no time to stop before we begin
And though there's no promises
Every time I think how good it could be
I start to be believe it's up to the stars
I should use my head
But that only tends to lose me and confuse me
Every time I think how good it could be
I surely believe we'll make it that far
If I should use my head
But I only know you by heart, baby, by heart, baby
By heart, baby
By heart, baby
By heart, baby
By heart, baby
Hold me close, baby please
Tell me anything but that you're gonna leave
As I kiss this fallen tear
I promise you I will be here
Until the stars fall from the sky
Until I find the reason why
And darling as the years go by
Until there's no tears left to cry
'Til the angels close my eyes
And even if we're worlds apart
I'll find my way back to you...
By heart
When you go, I'll stop the clock
I won't ever let this moment stop
Time is stealing you from me
But it can never take this memory
Until the stars fall from the sky
Until I find the reason why
And darling as the years go by
Until there's no tears left to cry
'Til the angels close my eyes
And even if we're worlds apart
I'll find my way back to you...
By heart.
Until the stars fall from the sky
Until I find the reason why
And darling as the years go by
Until there's no tears left to cry
'Til the angels close my eyes
And even if we're worlds apart
I'll find my way back to you...
Where do I begin to tell a story of a child
Who can’t survive a day without your kisses deep and warm
Let me be your eyes, I’ll tell you what I see
I see a light in you…
Will you sing with me my favourite song
‘Cause now I know what it means
Will you sing with me forever this song
‘Cause we’re on the radio tonight
Give me one more chance to be the child that once I was
Surrounded by your love until the age of twenty-one
Let me be a knife that cuts into your heart
I’ll write in blood; “I love you”
Will you sing with me my favourite song
‘Cause now I know what it means
Will you sing with me forever this song
‘Cause we’re on the radio tonight
Where do I begin to tell a story of a child
Who left his home and travelled far for kisses deep and warm
Let me be a drug that shoots into your vains
And when you’re high you sing…
Will you sing with me my favourite song
‘Cause now I know what it means
Will you sing with me forever this song
This is not the silence; I’ve been waiting for so long
I hear insect’s fussing, like the city nearby
I believe that someday I’ll end up here
But throughout the night I’m alive, watching some fireflies die
I’m not ready, I’m not ready for the day to come
It is much, much to bright
I walk the steps of Jesus, but they don’t lead me anywhere
I here the vice of buddha but nothing is real i believe
Where can I find some peace of mind?
Well, throughout the night I’m alive, deep in the ocean I dive
The stars in the water reflect the hour’s that are yet to come
And they don’t look that bright
It is not yet quiet, I’ve been snoozing my alarm
I’m an insect crawling through the day and the night
I've been left with nothing to hold on to
Throughout the night I’m alive, the desert is soothing my
Wherever the wind blows it finds a pathway in the sand below
You say that money changes anything
Like when a lightning crashes down
You say you’ve been through everything and that was not enough
So why’d you leave today
Today we regret the things that we said
And we want them to be unsaid
And then we forget the people we met
And whatever they had to say
But I’ll never give my love to you, I save it for myself
And I promise you, no matter what I’ll do
That I’m alive, alive, alive, alive
You say desire changes everything
Like when tomorrow becomes today
You say you’re never satisfied and that’s your curse in life
Do you believe in me?
Today we regret the things that we said
And we want them to be unsaid
And then we forget the people we met
And whatever they had to say
But I’ll never give my love to you, I save it for myself
And I promise you, no matter what I’ll do
That I’m alive, alive, alive, alive
In a cheap hotel in Rome
You are killing time
I wonder what you're thinking of
When I'm not by your side
In a dream I visit you
And try to talk you down
But you are naked, you are wild
And you are satisfied
'Cause you are the centre of the world
And you are above the universe
Whenever you want to win it's a million to one
A light in a sunbeam
On a wire, on a line
You are getting by
You watch the city from above
The morning suits you fine
'Cause you are the centre of the world
And you are above the universe
Whenever you want to win it's a million to one
A light in a sunbeam
In a cheap hotel in Rome
You are killing time
I wonder what you're thinking of
When I'm not by your side
In a dream I visit you
And try to talk you down
But you are naked, you are wild
And you are satisfied
'Cause you are the centre of the world
And you are above the universe
Whenever you want to win it's a million to one
Strong as a wave and faster than the wind
You move across the darkness like a tank
Gas in the air makes it harder just to breathe
Something tells you this is what you need
But what if I turn around and leave you?
And what if I turn my back and tell you it's too late?
And what if I turn around to see you?
And what if I turn my back and never show my face?
Wind in your hair as you stumble through the fields
To the left you see some factories
Steal what you want 'cause your journey will be long
What I say is absolutely wrong
But what if I turn around and leave you?
And what if I turn my back and tell you it's too late
And what if I turn around to see you?
He moves across the city like a ghost
He’s another troubled soul who cannot see the light at the end of the road
He stopped to believe in the father above
He’s ready to stumble, ready to fall, ready to reach out for nothing at all
He’s all alone, he’s all alone, he’s all alone you see
Wherever it will take him, wherever he may go, wherever it will lead to nothing but cold
He never got an answer to the one thing he just has to know
Is he someone to die for?
Let it go, let it go let it be forever gone
Let me know, let me know let me know which way to go
‘cause whenever you fall I’ll be there if you call
Let it go, let it go let it be forever gone
Let me know, let me know let me know which way to go before I leave
He walks along St: Patrick’s road which leads him to his home,
A house that stands alone
And as if the walls were breathing they tell him the truth
The woman he needs is giving her love
To someone she cares for and not to this ghost
Who’s ready to reach for his key to the door
He steps inside, he walks the floor, he’s ready as can be
He stands beside the bed now; he looks her in the eye
He pulls he’s gun and shoot and then falls down and die
He never got to tell her the one thing she just has to know
That she’s someone to die for
Let it go, let it go let it be forever gone
Let me know, let me know let me know which way to go
‘cause whenever you fall I’ll be there if you call
Let it go, let it go let it be forever gone
Now it doesn't matter, I leave it all behind
I never meant to cause you any pain
I stand outside your circle among the ones who tried
And now I sell my soul to anyone
Remember my name, remember me my friend
Before it must come to an end
Remember my name for every time I lied
Tonight I forget who I am
Who I am…
Now it doesn't matter, my friends are dead and gone
They left me here and took their final fee
I raise my voice and scream out to anyone around
I bite my tongue when echoes strike me down
Remember my name, remember me my friend
Before it must come to an end
Remember my name for every time I lied
Tonight I forget who I am
Who I am…
Now it doesn't matter, I leave it all behind
I'm going down one minute a time
Remember my name, remember me my friend
Before it must come to an end
Remember my name for every time I lied
Tonight I forget who I am
Silent and still
Hospital-walls painted in green
There in your bed you look like a bird
Fragile and free
Oh, Rebecca I tear at you sheet
Answer me, please
How I miss you now in my blood
How I miss you now, all the time
How I miss you now, to dance around your smile
To walk with you for miles
Walk through the walls
Baby you're free like running water
Kiss you goodnight and secretly cry, over and out
How I miss you now in my blood
How I miss you now, all the time
How I miss you now, to dance around your smile
Fell into a blizzard and it covered me with ice
I try to reach the surface but I slide
And not for just a second and not for just a night
Not for just a lifetime, but yet for all time
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep
Maybe I am silly
You see it in my eyes
Drinking from the gutter to survive
Judge me in my sorrow, and judge me in my pride
Baby, show me mercy, one last time
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
I know it's a promise I can keep
A poet with his pencil and a mother with her son
A priest without religion, and now I'm done
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
Now when I get the message
Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
So you have the nerves to say
Say you are my friend
After all you made me do
You will always be the one to blame
Until you feel the same
So you did the best you could
Only for a while
Maybe I'm a fool again
Pulling you inside the burning flame
Until you feel the same
So you have the nerves say
Say you are my friend
I will never welcome you
I'm the beast, I know can't be tame
I dream about my hero
A hero from a trying time
And once again I need you by my side
I'm cold and bruised
I'm howling at your beauty
I'm falling at your feet
I'm begging on my knees
Please, answer when I ask you this:
Will you ever let me in?
I follow you my hero
A shadow on an empty street
Your kiss is burning holes inside of me
I'm gasoline
Undress me 'til I'm naked
And let me taste your breath
And if you want another
Then I'll wear a mask for you
Will you ever let me in?
On your question why, I answer love
At your dazzling smile I surrender now
In the blackest night there's a ray of light
And if it be your will I'll give you right
On my second try I am half way down
I've been hit too hard, I have seen too much
Have I lost my mind, have I been a clown?
It's all for you because you mean that much
You choose your own direction
You never want to settle down
You might just fall to pieces
If you stay the same
You want your own religion
You always knew right from wrong
You used to be good looking
But now you hide your face
Like a secret
Like a mystery
Like a stone upon the shore forever more
You walk the road into the arms of strangers
You have your own solutions
You find a path and then you're gone
And once again you loose it
Why are you so sad?
You tell the ones who miss you
In letters from a nameless land
That things are getting darker
And you're not coming back
Like a secret
Like a mystery
Like a stone upon the shore forever more
Just for tonight
With empty and tired eyes
She crosses the stage
In a dress with a Bette Midler touch
So what will it take
To silence the screaming crowd?
To fulfil the night
And a promise that matters so much
She needs
She needs my song
And she breaks
And she aches
Her voice is so loud and so strong
She lifts up her hand
And she touches someone
That someone is suddenly me
On bare bended knees
Just like a pool
Her spirit is drying out
She plays by the rules
Like some good old American cop
She wants to confess
In hours so sad and so deep
She swallows her pride
And the pills that will send her to sleep
She needs
She needs my song
And she breaks
And she aches
Her voice is so loud and so strong
She lifts up her hand
And she touches someone
That someone is suddenly me
On bare bended knees
The spotlights are out
No trace of a screaming crowd
No promise to keep
Smile, suddenly you smile, you think I changed my mind
But both my hands are tied
Cry, once again you cry, like a wounded child
Tonight has no surprise
For the last time, I'm here
For the last time, my trust you try to tear
I'm gonna be by your side for the last time
I'm gonna swallow my pride for the last time
I'm gonna stand up and fight for the last time
I'm gonna crumble inside for the last time
For the last time
Lay your hand upon my chest, my hand upon your hair
And try to fall asleep
Scream, grab my ears and scream until the words come out now
Until your tongue is numb
For the last time, I lie
For the last time, I promise while I sigh
I'm gonna be by your side for the last time
I'm gonna swallow my pride for the last time
I'm gonna stand up and fight for the last time
I'm gonna crumble inside for the last time
For the last time
Early morning, August four
Cecilia wish that she gets more
Than the year before
When she got nothing at all
Silently she starts to pray
Wishing there will be a day
When she is not alone
That is why I sing
Happy Birthday, dear Cecilia
Happy Birthday to my one and only baby
Hip, hip, hip hurray
Now she dresses up in white
Dyes her hair to make it bright
Like the movie stars
Whose life seems like a dream
Happy Birthday dear Cecilia
Happy Birthday to my baby baby
Happy birthday dear Cecilia
You’re my one and only baby
Hip, hip, hip hurray
In the evening, August four
Cecilia waits behind the door
She is still alone
With no one here to sing
Happy Birthday dear Cecilia
Happy Birthday to my baby, baby
Happy birthday dear Cecilia
You’re my one and only baby
You are never lonely
Happy Birthday, dear Cecilia
Happy Birthday to my one and only baby
When I have something to say
I turn to you, you you my music
You are my John, you are my Paul
I will never step aside
I will never shut my mouth
Everything I hear is catchy music
I can barely stand the sound
I can barely shut my eyes
But I am pleased if I can live
In my world of very catchy music
And sing a long
When I hide from the sun
My cancer turns, turns into music
I tell everyone I’m just twenty-one
I will never step aside
I will never shut my mouth
Everything I hear is catchy music
I can barely stand the sound
You say I'm ugly, a monster from a tale
But you look good no matter what they say
I'm getting older, but you, you stay the same
Oh, what a beautiful refrain
And now I know by the fear inside your eyes
I know by your smile
You've lost your pride
At least for a while
And now I know by the fear inside your eyes
I know by your smile
You will get by
At least in a while
You look unhappy, you have yourself to blame
'Cause ugly girls they do know their faith
Your style is silver; the rest of you is blank
And now you keep on coming back
And now I know by the fear inside your eyes
I know by your smile
You've lost your pride
At least for a while
And now I know by the fear inside your eyes
I know by your smile
You will get by
At least in a while
I look at you now and I see by your smile
That nothing in this world will make you bother
You say I'm ugly, a monster from a tale
But you look good no matter what they say
I'm getting blinder, but you, you can foresee
That there is nothing left of me
And now I know by the fear inside your eyes
I know by your smile
You've lost your pride
At least for a while
And now I know by the fear inside your eyes
I know by your smile
You will get by
At least in a while
I know you by your smile
Brother, my intentions they are pure
I'd rather fight for you than in the holy war
Which I am not connected to
I've been a hundred miles away
There's nothing words can say
But brothers we are
Oh, brothers we are
You are the star tonight
It's 1989, so take your time
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
You are the star tonight
So brother, make it right
And hit the lights
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
Brother, you and I we look the same
You might not want to know
But that's what I've been told
And heroes don't come easily
In a hundred years from now
We've lost the track of time
But brothers we are
Oh, brothers we are
You are the star tonight
It's 1989, so take your time
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
You are the star tonight
So brother, make it right
And hit the lights
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime chance
You are the star tonight
It's 1989, so take your time
It's a once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime-deal
You are the star tonight
So brother, make it right
And hit the lights
It's a once in a lifetime
I cross the stars now just to get to you
Outside my window the night is coming through
A heavy storm is loose and all the lights are out
But by the moon tonight I know you'll be all right
Together tonight, together we fly
We look down on the city below
Together tonight, together we fly
Only gravity's holding us down
I dream my dream
Where nothing comes between my world and me
Yeah, I fall beyond the satellites
I take a ghost train and forever leave this town
Below the streetlights the rain is pouring down
The moon is low tonight and all dressed up in black
To know the road ahead, I ask those coming back
Together tonight, together we fly
We see aliens and green satellites
Together tonight, together we fly
We are close to the end of the line
I dream my dream
Where nothing comes between my world and me
Yeah, I fall beyond the satellites
Together we fly, together tonight
We look down on the city below
Forever we fly, forever tonight
Only gravity's pulling us down
I dream my dream
Where nothing comes between my world and me
Yeah, I fall into the satellites
I was just an animal waiting for a prey
I was getting weaker everyday
I lost my head, I lost my feet, I fell down on my knees
I wanted to be anyone but me
And then you walked into my life; you dared to cross my line
You said I'm not an animal to you
The more I fought the more I felt how silly it may sound
But now I know how poets feel inside
You're so sweet, you say to me: "You will later be the one to win"
In a dream when you sleep you will finally admit that
Things are getting better here
At twilight time
I made you my religion 'cause in you I put my trust
And in you I find a better world to be in
And with you I'm not a victim and with you I'm not a fool
You I follow blindly like a child
You're so sweet, you say to me: "You will later be the one to win"
In a dream when you sleep you will finally admit that
Things are getting better here
At twilight time
One hour of your time
Is more to me than one's entire life
One hor of your love
Is more to me than anything I need
You're so sweet, you say to me: "You will later be the one to win"
In a dream when you sleep you will finally admit that
Things are getting better here
Carefully I listen
To the sweetest poem of all times
I secretly adore you
And lick your feet for one more perfect rhyme
Now it’s time to show, show my gratefulness
To you, you the inspiration I have waited for so long
For so long
You are the greatest
I practice allegories
My tongue’s a stone, where words are stuck behind
I live for your opinion
I’ll be climbing any given rope
My gratefulness I show
To you, you the intoxication I have waited for so long
For so long
You are, you are the greatest poet I have ever heard
And now we can be a line with rhyme (we never grow)
Yeah, now we never grow
Now it’s time to show, show my gratefulness
To you, you the inspiration I have waited for so long,
For so long
You are, you are the greatest poet I have ever heard
Carefully I listen
To the sweetest poem of all times
I secretly adore you
And lick your feet for one more perfect rhyme
Now it’s time to show, show my gratefulness
To you, you the inspiration I have waited for so long
For so long
You are the greatest
I practice allegories
My tongue’s a stone, where words are stuck behind
I live for your opinion
I’ll be climbing any given rope
My gratefulness I show
To you, you the intoxication I have waited for so long
For so long
You are, you are the greatest poet I have ever heard
And now we can be a line with rhyme (we never grow)
Yeah, now we never grow
Now it’s time to show, show my gratefulness
To you, you the inspiration I have waited for so long
For so long
Don't you know you should never look back, they only want us dead
Even though in a minute or two you might just be ahead
Last year was messy but promises were sweet
Last year was ugly and you were incomplete
When you know that you did your best they say that you're off-peak
Maybe now it's a little to late to turn the other cheek
Your dream is holy and worth the spill of blood
But please don't worry, it's gonna be alright
Anytime you cry
Anytime you smile
Anytime you're lonely
Anytime you cheat
Anytime you lie
You don't have to bother
The year 2004 will be yours
You don't believe in anything
You don't believe in me
You don't believe in fantasies
You don't believe it's real
Anytime you cry
Anytime you smile
Anytime you're lonely
When I say that I am weak you're smiling back at me
And every time I sink to deep you're stronger than I'll ever be
How hard it is to see you
I fear you when you're beautiful
You're the other half of what I am and want to be
You're a mountain, I'm a tree, what else should I try to be?
And every time I see you
You hurt me when you're beautiful
I see you smile, you always seem to shine
Despite your lack of love
It's all inside; it's all inside you now
You're nothing but a clown
When I say that I am ill you're moving easily
You believe in anything from Jimmie Dean to Steve McQueen
And every time I meet you
I hate it when you're beautiful
I see you smile, you always seem to shine
Despite your lack of love
It's all inside; it's all inside you now
You're nothing but a clown
I trip and fall while you are standing tall
(You are standing tall)
I trip and fall, I want to leave
I see you smile, you always seem to shine
Despite your lack of love
It's all inside; it's all inside you now
Save me
Save me with your madness
Starve me like you did the day before
Dreaming
Dreaming of your violence
Tug on me until I'm ripped apart
Before my bubble burst I turn to you
And ask you where to go
Before all hell brakes loose
I hold on to the one who sees me through
Baby it's you
Guard me
Guard me deep in anger
Strike me down in silence when I smile
Promise
Promise me my sentence
Beat me 'til I'll feel nothing at all
Before my bubble burst I turn to you
And ask you where to go
Before all hell brakes loose
I hold on to the one who sees me through
Off course it has to be you
Before my bubble burst I turn to you
And ask you where to go
Before all hell brakes loose
I hold on to the one who sees me through
Baby it's you
Save me
Save me with your madness
November's here, its all a long and sad parade
You speak no more; you sit so still, it is your will
And when I ask for reasons you answer with your eyes
Well, nothing last forever; this is goodbye
Now the memories are haunting me
The ghost is you and I
Like the blackest ink it will never fade
The end is near and you my dear will be my hangman
Your mind is black; your skin is cool and almost ghost-like
I want to be forgiven, but maybe not tonight
There is no time for questions, it's over now
Now the memories are haunting me
The ghost is you and I
Like the palest ink it will never fade
Not for a minute or a lifetime
Could we be standing side by side
Not for a minute or a lifetime
We would be lying if we tried
Now the memories are haunting me
The ghost is you and I
