Remember 06:11
It’s so good Just to feel you’re there And to know that I’m not lonely any more If you left (ohhh) It would take away All the love I know That we’ve been living for……. I remember Walking through woods in summer; breeze Carving initials on the trees You beside me AND I AM PRAYING THAT’S HOW IT’S STAYING YOU LOVING ME THE FEEL OF THE BREEZE THE TREE SWAYING MOTION RECALLS THE EMOTION MEMORIES STAY THEY DON’T FALL AWAY LIKE LEAVES I remember On a beach walking hand in hand Writing initials in the sand You beside me……. I KEEP ON PRAYING THAT’S HOW IT’S STAYING YOU LOVING ME THE SOUND OF THE SEA THE POWER OF THE OCEAN RECALLS THE EMOTION MEMORIES STAY THEY DON’T EBB AWAY LIKE TIDES It’s no good just to close my eyes And pretend that I am happy when you’re gone I sit down, maybe cry a bit Then reflect on all the memories to come… I remember Climbing the tallest hill we found Hoping our feet would leave the ground You beside me STILL I KEEP PRAYING THAT’S HOW IT’S STAYING YOU LOVING ME WHILE DOWN IN THE VALLEY RIVERS AND STREAMS RUN ON LIKE EMOTION MEMORIES STAY THEY DON’T FLOW AWAY THE POWER OF THE OCEAN RECALLS THE EMOTION MEMORIES STAY THEY DON’T EBB AWAY LIKE THE TREE SWAYING MOTION RECALLS THE EMOTION MEMORIES STAY (THEY DON’T FALL AWAY)

Your Love 04:06
My eyes follow you Tracking you like a laser! Every time you walk in the room, The room is full, but we are alone. Your perfume strikes me Like a rocket to my heart! Now I have you... I don’t ever want to be apart. YOUR LOVE! YOUR LOVE IS SO AMAZING YOUR LOVE! YOUR LOVE, IT FEELS SO CRAZY! TO THINK THAT WE COULD SHARE THIS LIFE IT FILLS MY MIND, IT FILLS MY HEART THIS LOVE! THIS LOVE IS SO CONSUMING! MY TIME, MY TIME IS YOURS TO HAVE. My life is changed Just by your presence How being with you could be so real You look at me, so deep within I can’t think what you hope to see (Hope to see... hope to see) You see me, you reach out and take! You shape me you fill me You free me from this ache (CHORUS) It’s buzzing! It’s fresh! It happened so fast You came, we met. You blew me away The days, the weeks, The worries and fears, The lonely nights, The flowing tears They’ve gone, they’ve left, They’ve blown away, Now that you are here to stay. Intertwined, our love unfolds Our life, our story will be told (CHORUS) (rept last line)

I want my loving to shine in you, A star gone supernova! Ooooo I want my loving to take you higher, A forest fire within me! Ooooooooo I want my loving to be carefree, An ecstasy adventure! Oooooo WON’T YOU LOOK IN MY DIRECTION MAKE ME SMILE AND LOVE ME AGAIN STAY HERE FOR A WHILE THEN MAKE ME SMILE AND LOVE ME AGAIN Here am I, I’m lost in your eyes Stay by me I can’t help wanting to kiss your face! A treasure case of feelings! Ooooooo I can’t help wanting the warmth you bring! A smouldering volcano! Ooooooooooooo WON’T YOU LOOK IN MY DIRECTION MAKE ME SMILE AND LOVE ME AGAIN STAY HERE FOR A WHILE THEN MAKE ME SMILE AND LOVE ME AGAIN Here am I, I’m lost in your eyes Stay by me You and I will each in our turn to one love me again stay here with me

Put down my case, and stand at my front door Unlock the latch, and lean against the wall Back home! I wonder was it all a dream The sights the passion. Now it only seems Like fantasy – fading in the twilight Memories, or dreams? Which one is right? Cos I see… MILES AND MILES I MEASURE THEM IN HEARTBEATS MILES AND MILES I MEASURE THEM IN FOOTSTEPS SMILES; YOUR SMILES I STILL SEE THEM BEFORE ME WHILE YOU’RE HALF A WORLD AWAY REMAIN WITH ME, REMAIN WITH ME IN SPIRIT Your love still warms my heart, my hands, my bones You in yours, and me in my small home Reality pours in, a rude intruder The traffic, neighbours, bills upon the floor I wonder why I bothered to come home! Together we should be, not here, alone ………………seeing MILES AND MILES I MEASURE THEM IN HEARTBEATS MILES AND MILES I MEASURE THEM IN FOOTSTEPS SMILES; YOUR SMILES I STILL SEE THEM BEFORE ME WHILE YOU’RE HALF A WORLD AWAY REMAIN WITH ME, REMAIN WITH ME…

The fog had lifted just enough by sunrise to reveal paths and ditches that were new to my eyes. My mind was reeling from the storm the night before, which had left my ears ringing in the stillness of the dawn. The murky daylight filled my heart with dismay, for my map and my compass had been blown far away. I’ll have to find my own way now, there’s no-one to guide me. I’ll stumble blindly on and on; perhaps someone can find me. My strange surroundings have a beauty of their own, complemented by the music of the distant breeze’s moan. It could seduce me to remain here instead, but I know if I succumbed, I would very soon be dead. I must pursue a dream, a target, an idea; no matter how vague or distant, I cannot stagnate here. But every step I take, the target seems to shift the idea seems to drift, the dream becomes a nightmare. Can I attain the wisdom to reveal my achieving or the strength to believe in what I know to be true. Striving on alone, I need the guidance of a sign until I’m strong enough to find a certain answer to my prayer… I wander aimlessly across this empty ground, never knowing my direction. I can’t even hear a sound. The swirling mist creates illusions shapes and lines giving clues and conundrums to disorient my mind. Some day in the future I’ll look back at this and grin at all the torment caused by the predicament I’m in. But while I’m occupied in looking for a sign, my wishes turn to failure and intense frustration! When is the world on my side? Why this constant aggravation? Can I ever start rebuilding what I seek to destroy? How can I tell right from wrong? What difference does it make? Which way to turn? Who can show to me an answer to my prayer? Just as my patience runs out, it finally rewards me. Still shrouded by a distant haze, a guiding light before me. Is this the end of troubled times, or start of new adventure? What trials will it bring my way? What pain? What pleasure? Life’s invitations must be challenged, so don’t hide! Go, like the Master said, “Seek and you shall find”

So angry inside So insecure, so full of pride Always seeing danger Am I such a stranger? Try to believe it’s a cover Just admit it We could see each other Continue, relate, maybe love to discover HEAVEN’S RIGHT HERE WITHIN MY WIDE OPEN ARMS WELCOME TO PARADISE! NOW YOU CAN ADVANCE! MY LOVING TOUCH WILL BRONG VALHALA TO YOU! IN MY EMBRACE YOU’LL FIND NIRVANA! SURRENDER TO UNITY! Scared and afraid He thinks his looks won’t quite make the grade Just because I’m pretty - such a pity! I don’t agree! I know that beauty is more than skin deep A warm embrace counts for more than physique or a beautiful face Steel yourself to come and say “Hello!” You will find I won’t mind, I won’t just get up and go Heaven’s right here Welcome to Paradise! My loving touch Surrender! HEAVEN’S RIGHT HERE WITHIN MY WIDE OPEN ARMS WELCOME TO PARADISE! NOW YOU CAN ADVANCE ! MY LOVING TOUCH WILL BRONG VALHALA TO YOU! IN MY EMBRACE YOU’LL FIND NIRVANA! SURRENDER TO UNITY!

For every word of thanks that went unspoken, For every promise made, that then was broken. For my multitude of sin, For every doubt I let creep in, It seems to me these words are just a token. For the many times I must have let you down, For your tears, that formed a river on the ground. For these eyes that failed to see All that you have given me, Though you freed me from the chains that had me bound. For the Blessings that you give me through your Grace, For the Son who went to Calvary in my place. For the gift of each new day, For the debt I can't repay, Just to thank you Lord seems more than I can face. For the love you send that always brings me through, Though I know the pain my sin is causing you. When tomorrow comes along, Keep me safe, keep me strong, (And) With your grace I’ll be a little better for you.
