1.Simple Affair Of The Heart

You say we're in love
Well I don't know how to tell you
It's not the way it seems
And you think you really love me,
And you're waiting for the earthquake
You've been feeling in your dreams
And though I might send you flowers
Enjoy your company
Even call you every day when we're apart
When all is said and done
All it is, is a simple affair of the heart

I can give you up any time I want to...
(Love is a drug but it won't take hold)
I can give you up any time I need to...
(You make it hard, but I'm in control)
Sometimes I think
I was a fool to let it start
I'm at the point of no return
I might even lose my heart
I might even lose my heart

You're making me crazy
Till I don't know what I'm saying
It's coming out confused
And I don't really need you, no
you're just another heartache
I wish I could refuse
And though I might seem obsessive
'Cos I want you constantly
Don't go thinking
That it's something that it's not
When all is said and done
All it is, is a simple affair of the heart

'Cos I can give you up any time I want to...
(Love is a drug but it won't take hold)
Yes, I can give you up any time I need to...
(You make it hard, but I'm in control)
Sometimes I think
I was a fool to let it start
I'm at the point of no return
I might even lose my heart
I might even lose my heart

'Cos when all is said and done
All it is, is a simple affair of the heart
When all is said and done
I wish it was a simple affair of the heart
You're makin' me crazy
I was a fool
A fool to let it start...


2.Beautiful Heartache

It was one of those nights
When the moon was just right
Something good was gonna happen
I could feel it inside
That's when I saw her
At a club called 'Simply Blues'
And the way that we connected
Should have made front page news

She had an electric smile
And an air of confidence
Why she was there alone
Didn't make no sense
I said, 'Let's get out of here.
Hey, ain't you tired of this?'
She said, 'Well, you put it like that,
How could I resist?'

Chorus:
She was a beautiful, beautiful heartache
Beautiful chance I had to take
She was a beautiful, beautiful heartache
It hurt so good...
I'd gladly make the same mistake

It didn't take long till I was over my head
So many promises were made
So many things got said
I loved her and I thought that she loved me
But some things in this world
Well, they just ain't meant to be

Chorus

No regerets, no tears, no feeling sorry now
That's just a door that had to close
I knew going in that it might not work out
That's just the way the story,
That's just the way the story goes

Chorus (repeat)

I was over my head
It was one of those nights...


3.Holland Park

Walking through Holland Park
Where romantic poets have left their mark
The time of year, the way I feel
I dream of you, the dream is real
I watch the flowers grow
Change their clothes and die
I wonder why
You and I may never be the same again
I always hold you close to my heart
When I'm walking through Holland Park

Lost in my thoughts again
Disaster's road
Has been walked by better men
In every tree, in every stone
The sound of love walked alone
Oh mighty love you are
A heavy cross to bear
And it's so unfair
You and I may never be the same again
I always hold you close to my heart
When I'm walking through Holland Park

I won't let me drown my emotions
Even though I'd just as soon forget
The voices made the most of the magic
And the moment
So I just listen to my life and to my breath

In every tree in every stone
The sound of love that walked alone
Oh mighty love, you are a heavy cross to bear
And it's so unfair
You and I may never be the same again
I always hold you close to my heart
When I'm walking through Holland Park

I always hold you close to my heart
when I'm walking through Holland Park


4.Love Changes Everything

Love,
Love changes everything:
Hands and faces,
Earth and sky,
Love,
Love changes everything:
How you live and
How you die

Love
Can make the summer fly,
Or a night
Seem like a lifetime.

Yes, Love,
Love changes everything:
Now I tremble
At your name.
Nothing in the world will ever
Be the same.

Love,
Love changes everything:
Days are longer,
Words mean more.
Love,
Love changes everything:
Pain is deeper
Than before.

Love
Will turn your world around,
And that world
Will last for ever.

Yes, Love,
Love changes everything,
Brings you glory,
Brings you shame.
Nothing in the
World will ever
Be the same.

Off
Into the world we go,
Planning futures,
Shaping years.
Love,
Bursts in, and suddenly
All our wisdom
Disappears.

Love
Makes fools of everyone:
All the rules
We make are broken.
Yes, Love,
Love changes everyone.
Live or perish
In its flame.
Love will never,
Never let you
Be the same


5.If You Need Another Love

I heard he let you down again
He left you crying
Oh is he still lying to you
I wish I was there to ease the pain

Just to hold you
Honey I've told you
Time and time again
There's no sense in holding on
You've got to find a way
To open your heart to someone

Chorus:
If you ever need another love in your life
If you ever need someone
Juse call I'll be there
If you need another love in your life
Let it be me
I'll show you just how good my love can be

Feelin' so alone again
So lost and lonely
Honey it's only gonna hurt awhile
Only time will heal the pain
That cuts so deep inside
Oh baby, nothing lasts forever

Chorus

I'll take good care of you
If you put your trust in me
Oh I'll never ever break your heart
I will be yours forever
Baby it's now or never
Just call I'll be there
If you need another love in your life
Let it be me
I'll show you just how good my love can be
Show you just how good my love can be


6.No One Cries Anymore

Have you never heard of
Talking things through?
Working things out?
Pulling together?
Nowadays emotions fly by so fast
No one bothers mending a heart
They find another
A busy world
Where no one stops to catch their breath
That's not my kind of world
It scares me to death

Chorus:
No one cries anymore
No one tries anymore
They leave the dance far too soon
I won't go running out that door
I'm staying right here on the floor
With you...

So we're going through a bad patch, that's all
Everybody falls now and then
We can still make it
There is more to us than hello, goodbye
Let's not be fools
Our love can take it
A busy world
When no one stops to catch their breath
That's not my kind of world
It scares me to death

Chorus

They leave the dance far too soon
I won't go running out that door
I'm staying right here on the floor
No one cries anymore
No one cries anymore


7.One Step Out Of Time

You talked about forever,
And it scared me half to death
You used words like 'commitment'
And I couldn't catch my breath
So I turned my back on love
Must have been out of my mind
'Cause everything I want from life, I left behind

Chorus:
It's still you
If it's not too late
Forever sounds just wonderful
I needed time to clear this crazy head of mine
It's still you
Still you

The world is just a desert
Every day you're not with me
In no time I discovered
There's pain in being free
If I have the chance again
To be part of you once more
I promise
I won't be the fool I was before

Chorus

Night after night I cried and cried
I walked out on love
But love hadn't died

Chorus

And these days
forever sounds just fine


8.It's Still You

You talked about forever,
And it scared me half to death
You used words like 'commitment'
And I couldn't catch my breath
So I turned my back on love
Must have been out of my mind
'Cause everything I want from life, I left behind

Chorus:
It's still you
If it's not too late
Forever sounds just wonderful
I needed time to clear this crazy head of mine
It's still you
Still you

The world is just a desert
Every day you're not with me
In no time I discovered
There's pain in being free
If I have the chance again
To be part of you once more
I promise
I won't be the fool I was before

Chorus

Night after night I cried and cried
I walked out on love
But love hadn't died

Chorus

And these days
forever sounds just fine


9.As Dreams Go By

When the white bird flies
From your heart to mine
I surrender every part of me
To the tenderness

Could it be the wine
In your eyes, stars shine
And I'm feelin' like a child again
It's taken me a little time
To find words to say

Stay, make this forever
And lay love in my life
Come what may
Cherish each moment of love
As dreams go by

The trees and the towers are burning
Fear walks on the sea
My soul in the wasteland is yearning
What does tomorrow hold for me?

What can I say
Just that I need you
With you here by my side
We can turn even the desert
Evergreen
As dreams go by

So won't you stay, make this forever
And lay love in my life
Come what may
Cherish each moment of love
As dreams go by


10.Who Needs To Know

Don't have to tell nobody
What I found out today
I don't have to tell a soul
It'll only get in the way...
No need to show my pride
Oh I can keep it all inside
Where it belongs
But who got it strong
And it can't be denied
Chorus:
Who needs to know except us
Who needs to make a fuss
(Who needs to know)
Yeah, who needs to know
(Who needs to know)
I said, who needs to know about us

Who'd guess I care
Ooh when I see you standing there
Baby, what's in a smile
Every once in a while
Honey, what's in a stare

Chorus

And if all my power were taken away
I've still got you babe
Still got today
But deep in my soul
I don't feel afraid
Between you and me babe
We got it made...

Chorus


11.Secret Of Love

I know
That when she said that
We could be friends
That my heart turned to stone
Broken Again
How come
That I'm feelin' that the way I do
'Cos the hurting is gone
And it's true - 'Cos of you
Chorus:
I found that secret of love again
Oh and every time I turn around
There you are
(There you are)
Crying is done
Cos I found the secret of love...
Ooh yeah

I've shown
I'm not immune to the power of love
I was chilled to the bone
I've had enough
But it's all gone
An empty space
Where my heart used to be
But since you came along
Can't you see
Rescue me
Chorus
We'll call it divine intervention
A bolt from the blue
It was never my intention
Ooh what can I do

Chorus
