now
now when it rains I dont feel cold
now that I have your hand to hold
the winds might blow through me but I dont care
theres no harm in thunder if you are there
and now
now when we touch my feelings fly
now when I'm smiling I know why
you light up my world like the morning sun
your so deep within me were almost one

chorus:
and now
all the fears that I have start to fade
I was always afraid love might forget me
that love might let me down
then look who I found

winds might blow through me but I don't care
there's no harm in thunder if you are there

and now
now when I wake there's someone home
I'll never face the nights alone
you gave me the courage I need to win
to open my heart and to let you in
and I really never knew how until now
until now
no I really never knew how until
now

Here I am feeling confined
Neon lights are making me blind
I need time out in the sunshine
The city and me
Just don't agree
On who I should be
Maybe I should get away
Take myself a holiday

No more calls begging my time
No more walls for me to climb
I can't wait to feel the sunshine
Leaving at dawn
After I'm gone
Life will go on
Someone's got to take my place
Running in the human race

Sailing on the tide in the morning
How I love that salty air
Sailing to the wide horizon
Let the fresh winds guide us there
Maybe if you feel like it too
You might like to make the run
Over the ocean
To my beautiful island in the sun

Over there people are slow
Low key life is all that they know
Lying around high on the sunshine
Lazy lagoons
Warm afternoons
Tropical moons
Sleepy beaches everywhere
Anyone is welcome there

Make no plans, play it by ear
Could be days or maybe a year
I'm going to be free in the sunshine
Taking my time
Trying to find
Time to unwind
Nothing's going to hurry me
Nothing's going to worry me

Sailing on the tide in the morning
How I love that salty air
Sailing to the wide horizon
Let the fresh winds guide us there
Maybe if you feel like it too
You might like to make the run
Over the ocean
To my beautiful island in the sun

[Sailing on the tide in the morning

You're enough
If I never had another
Never hold another lover
Baby, you're enough
All the rest are second best compared to you
You're enough
If I never know another
After what we've known together
Baby, you're enough
I've already had my sweetest dreams come true
Can't you see in these eyes that adore you
I've been waiting here for you, baby
Can't you see?
Look at me
See love's greatest non-believer
Believing that she might be seeing love in your eyes
Stars above
Made for wishin', made for dreamers
Won't you listen to this heart
And what it's dreaming of?
If they'll only shine their lucky starlight down on me
Make it bright enough for only you to see
Baby, you're enough for me

Look at me
See love's greatest non-believer
Believing that she might be seeing love in your eyes

Won't you listen to this heart
And what it's dreaming of?
If they'll only shine their lucky starlight down on me
Make it bright enough for only you to see
Baby, you're enough for me
Baby, you're enough for me

We tried our hand at love before
We’ve been around the game enough to know the score
But that is that and now is now
And now is all that matters anyhow

Make believe it’s your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it’s your first time
And I’ll make believe it’s mine

The door is closed, it’s you and me
We’ll take our time with love, the way it oughta be
This moment’s ours, tonight’s the night
And if we fall in love, well that’s alright

Make believe it’s your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it’s your first time
And I’ll make believe it’s mine

So close your eyes and hug me close
Let our hearts pretend
That love is ours to share tonight
And it might never end

Make believe it’s your first time
Leave your sadness behind
Make believe it’s your first time
And I’ll make believe it’s mine

Make believe it’s your first time
And I’ll make believe it’s mine

Maybe I'm a dreamer
Maybe just a fool
Lately I can hardly see the sun
If you had a secret
I could take a guess
But nothing in your eyes seems to hold me
Truth or consequences
Which one will be?

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart

One of us is hiding
One of us can tell
And no one likes to be the first to know
Someone has to answer
'Cause someone has to ask
And keeping on like this is torture
And going undecided
You know is twice as bad for sure

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart

No, I can't believe it's over
It's over
And I love you more than ever
And ever

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart

Someone said that time would ease the pain
Of two lives love has torn apart
But I believe whoever wrote that song
Never had a broken heart

They tell me
Somewhere this life isn't crazy
But I've traveled the world far and wide
And I say they're wrong
Don't tell me stories that music's a lady
It's not when the singer's alone
At the end of a song
At the end of a song there's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there's is nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again
You told me
Nothing could change perfect lovers
But like every promise you've made
It broke before long
It's lonely
Falling away from each other
But we've come to the last of our words
And the end of our song
At the end of a song there's no one
After the last note is played
Only the memory stays
Then even that fades away
And there's is nothing so hard
As convincing your heart
That you should start singing again
That you should start singing again

Only a fool, like fools before me
I always think with my heart
Only a fool, that same old story
Seems I was born for the part

It's a lesson to be learned
And a page I should have turned
I shouldn't cry but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through

How many times have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for bad news?
And how many times have I mistaken
Good looks and laughs for the blues?

When a road I've walked before
Ends alone at my front door
I shouldn't cry but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through

When a road I've walked before
Ends alone at my front door
I shouldn't cry but I do
Like an ordinary fool
When his ordinary dreams fall through

Playing it safe so long
You lost your inspiration
Clinging to things that turn out wrong
Won't help a situation

Making me pay for the unhappy times
(That's bummer)
Maybe the moon night make you change your mind

So don't hold back, contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
Don't fight, what feels right
You're looking in the face of prime time love

I know she left you cold
That's why you need protection
Buying the lies that you were sold
Keeps you from true affection

Why waste your nights on trying to find
(Someone better)
Baby, my arms are going to be so kind

So don't hold back, contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
Don't fight, what feels right
You're looking in the face of prime time love

So don't hold back, contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
Don't fight, what feels right
You're looking in the face of prime time love

Trust is the answer
That's how it starts
I'll take my chances
This one's from the heart

So don't hold back, contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
Don't fight, what feels right
You're looking in the face of prime time love

So don't hold back, contact
Give yourself a bit of some prime time love
Don't fight, what feels right
You're looking in the face of prime time love

Just take some loneliness
And add a tear or two
Throw in some emptiness
Mix till you're bluer than blue
Keep it all under cover
Next to your broken dreams when you're through

Then you'll know how I
Sit alone and cry
As the nights go by
Makes you want to die

'Cause your baby doesn't love you any more
Your baby doesn't love you any more

You try to make believe
It doesn't bother you
For your own sake believe
You'll make it through
Just make a vow every morning
That today you will change your point of view

But it's all a game
That you play in vain
And you live in pain
'Cause it's very plain

When your baby doesn't love you any more
Your baby doesn't love you any more

Give it up

And there's nothing that you can do
But just break down and cry, it's over for you

When your baby doesn't love you any more
Your baby doesn't love you any more
Your baby doesn't love you any more
Your baby doesn't love you any more

To say I'm romantic
Would be quite semantically true
But make believe passion
Has fallen from fashion's milieu

It's understandable
Why we're a little confused
It's asking for trouble
Just watching the six o'clock news

But for a moment, all things aside
Look to yourself, somewhere inside

Look to your dreams
Don't they still seem worthwhile?
Don't they still seem in style?
Aren't you glad they're still there?

Look to your dreams
There's a need for them now
When the world has us down
Aren't you glad they're around?

Once conceived, once believed
Fantasy's reality's childhood
And like a seed, visions need
Constant care like a child would, we should

Look to our dreams
We can still make the stars
We can still break the bars
We have built here on earth

Look to your dreams
And tomorrow may be
Better for you and me
The future may say
Blame blind yesterday
For taking dreams away
They could mean
More than they seem
