Extracts from a compilation CD I put together for my ex- (best?) friend..
How do I live without you?
I want to know.
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go.
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, how do I live?
It takes ordinary people, just like you and me
To put a smile on the face of an extraordinary world.
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
If I told you how I feel about you
Would you say the same?
And if I wrote it in a letter
Would you keep it or throw it away?
I never thought I'd feel the way,
I'm feeling lately
When everything you seem to do
just drives me crazy
Every waking day, you take my breath away
With every word you say, you take my breath away
When I look at this world I think about you,
Eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold.
When I look at this world, I think about you.
Over the years I've learned one important thing
It's that real friends shall never truly be apart
You were there in my darkest time of need
With a hand reaching straight to the heart
If I could only read your mind,
tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is giving me the best day of my life
If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt
Are part of the deal you can count me out
But if you're talking about a game I can win
You can count me in
I'm falling deep in love
Falling deeper than before
I never thought it would be possible
To love you more
And darlin' when your eyes meet mine
The stars begin to shine
We're growing close and falling deep in love
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Everything that I touch turns to blue
When I'm living in a world without you
I'm going crazy baby I am missing you
There was a time I was your friend
But now I feel that time
Has steadily broken every chord
that bound your heart to mine, to mine.
Tell me, is the light still on and
Tell me, is there someone waiting still
If I should return home, do you still want me, now?
I look around to cast my stones,
Looking for someone else to blame.
It doesn't matter where I look,
Because the answer's just the same.
I was so childish at the start,
Then I grew up and played the game
Maybe the answer now for me
Is to become childlike again, again.
Take my heart away
to a distant shore where crying is no more
Take my lonely days
'Cos I'll never be lonely when I'm with you.
I hope that you trust this heart behind my tired eyes
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
She said we're much too different
we're from two separate worlds
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his heart's defense he told her
what they had in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul
and the person that you'll see
Just might remind you of me
I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different, me and you
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling,
what you feel is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you,
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you
You're my muse
You're my rhyme
You're the fire warming this heart of mine
When you hear me say "I love you"
Anna, do you know how much I do?
