So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go Caught up in a web of lies But it was just too late to know I thought it was you Who would stand by my side And now you've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart You said you'd die for me Woke up to reality And found the future not so bright I dreamt the impossible That maybe things could work out right I thought it was you Who would do me no wrong And now you've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart You've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart From this empty heart I thought it was you Who said they'd die for love And now you've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart You've given me, given me Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams Feel like I could run away, run away From this empty heart Oh, no, no, no You said you'd die for me Oh, for Die for me So much for your promises So much for your promises |

She's a girl who likes her living
Never tired of always giving Faceless men pay for the pleasure And the nights go on and on (Chorus) Walking the streets For a handful of money Love don't come cheap With a heart of gold She's indiscreet But to me, girl, it's funny That they pay for the love Of a girl with a pure Heart of gold She ain't hungry for a lover When it's over, there's another Loneliness won't be a problem When the nights go on and on (Chorus) But something about her makes me cry The light is fading from her eyes Memories of girlish purity Where love surrenders ....And the nights go on and on (Chorus) |

Another day is ended And I still can't sleep Remembering my yesterdays I begin to weep If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when life was so much better Lying here in silence Picture in my hand Of a boy I still resemble But I no longer understand And as the tears run freely How I realise they were the best years of my life I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when life was so much better You might say it's just A case of giving up No But without these memories where is the love (So) Where is the love? If I could have it over Live my life again I wouldn't change a single day I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when life was so much better Why can't I turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days Oh no no I remember when Life was so good I'd go back if I could Oh oh I wouldn't change a single day Don't let the memories slip away I wouldn't change a single day Don't let the memories slip away " |

We've had it good for years now
Don't let the change We've never needed answers To find the way Now all of a sudden Like waves on a beach Love has come crashing down The truth has been lost and found (Chorus) Don't say it's love, baby 'Cos you are to me What you want to be Don't say it's love, baby If our friendship is to survive Don't say it's love We've shared so many secrets Now kiss and tell You make one move to love me And it's farewell 'Cos somewhere there's someone Who's waiting for you To love you more than I could Your heart was misunderstood (Chorus) Don't be a fool You'll be alone in your confusion If loving me is an illusion Then let it go Oh no no no no Now I never counted On ending this way I always trusted fate But if we are no too late (Chorus) ...All you do is say it's love |

I've tried so hard
To make you understand That this is not a lie Believe in me And if you take my hand And look me in the eyes (Chorus) What other reason can I give to you When I want you and I need you What other reason can I give to you When I want you, 'cos I love you The two of us Have got a fighting chance But you don't want to win Now is the time You gotta, break the chains But don't you dare give in (Chorus) How much stronger must I stay Until you find out you believe In love (Chorus) |

Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand But I won't pull the trigger Our destiny is here 'Neath the red, white and blue So lead me to the slaughter Now don't be afraid Come and join the parade For the ultimate in sacrifice It's an old-fashioned story Of hope and of glory A ticket for taking a life (Chorus) I, I don't want to be a hero I don't want to die for you I don't want to be a hero Oh send me off to war In a far away land I never knew existed Subject me to the truth To the horror and pain Until my mind is twisted And what if I fail Will you put me in jail For a murder I will not commit? 'Cos you don't understand Till there's blood on your hands That it's time to forget and forgive (Chorus) And those who return Come back only to learn That they're hated by those who they love 'Cos you're not satisfied Till a thousand have died And your anger is paid for in blood (Chorus) |

Cold by day, cold by night
I wonder where the summer's gone Make no mistake, no mistake I've got to find you Well you can tell all your friends That you've found a way Go tell them all that you've come to stay (Chorus) Just to listen, just to listen Just to listen to your heart (Repeat) Take your chances Take your time Let's take a slow dance out of here Now I know, now I'm sure I'm flying tonight Well you can tell all your friends That you've found a way Go tell them all that I'm here to stay (Chorus) Oh no Hot by day, warm by night I wonder where the winter's gone There's no mistake, no mistake We feel the same way Well you can tell all your friends That you've found a way Go tell them all you're here to stay (Chorus 2xs) Listen |

The minutes are slipping away
As we say our last goodbye Bid the world a fond farewell We'll share in a final embrace When the lights begin to fade It's a tale they had to tell I'm wiping the tears from your face Though I can't control myself God have mercy on us all The chapter has ended a story That only just begun First the rise and then the fall (Chorus) But don't let it end this way Before you can go There's something that I must say Don't let it end this way It's too late to cry When winter has come to stay I once had a book in my hand That I didn't understand Now I witness every page So won't you come closer my love Now our time has nearly come Take a bow and leave the stage (Chorus) Now it's time to close your eyes (Chorus) |

I held your hand so fair
And like the morning sun We cause an ancient rhyme Oh I will laugh, I will cry For you Like the wind that blows The stars that shine The cool of night My ivory Moon The wind that calls The stars will shine And I will come And you will say This is enough Of me and my foolish heart My foolish heart Oh you will take my hand And we will wander far away Oh you will take my hand And I will follow Down where the walls come crashing Down where the proudest fall Down where those fools come rushing in To where they fell before Down where the age has passed me I will be sure You will be there and I will belong To me and my foolish heart I will run to you Hey Johnny Where you gonna go With that gun in your hand... |
