Paul Carrack Blue Views Lyrics
1.Eyes Of Blue

Lyrics:Carrack
Music:Carrack

I want to know how does it feel
Behind those eyes of blue
You've made your mistakes
And now your heart aches
Behind those eyes of blue

People may say you've had your chance
And let it slip away
But hard as they try
There's a dream that won't die
Behind those eyes of blue

Maybe once in a while
There's a trace of a smile
Behind those eyes of blue
But it's painfully clear
There's a river of tears
Behind those eyes of blue

You know life is too short
For comprimising
Take a hold of your dream
And realise it

You know there's nothing left
To stand in your way
Except yourself and i know
Though your hearts full of pain
That a hope still remains
Behind those eyes of blue


2.For Once In Our Lives

Lyrics:Carrack/Difford
Music:Carrack/Difford

Since this morning i've been thinking how
Things have changed between the two of us
We've been falling through the here and now
It's time for us to reinvest our trust

Can't you see for once in our lives
Now our love has finally come to ground
This flame we have is burning so bright
Burning for ever, now we're back together

Since this morning i've been asking why
Why we let this sweet love slip away
When we knew love, was for you and i
The reason we could face the darkest days

Can't we see for once in our lives
All the things we wanted have appeared
Now that we have love realised
Realised forever

For once in our lives there's no turning back
No running away and no covering our tracks
For once in our lives there's no one to blame
No broken hearts cause we've found love again
For once, for once in our lives

Since this morning i've been so relieved
There's no more pressure from within
I had this sense that you would get to see
There was no lasting love in him

For once in our lives there's no turning back

Maybe we can't believe, how things can be so wrong
Maybe it's time that we learn
To reach out for the feeling of love

For once in our lives there's no turning back


3.No Easy Way Out

Lyrics:Carrack
Music:Carrack

The same thoughts going through my head
So many things better left unsaid
Well i'm telling you baby, there's no easy way out

Dreams may shatter, tears may fall
So hard to make any sense at all
Well i'm tellin' you darlin' there's no easy way out

All i can do is wait, i don't care how long it takes

Baby i just want to be standing by your side
Whenever you need whatever i can do

Don't worry bout losing face
You know my heart is in the right place
Well i'm telling you baby there's no easy way out
You know it's only a matter of time
Then everything's gonna work out fine
But i'm tellin' you darlin' there's no easy way out

All i can do is wait, i don't care how long it takes

Baby i, just want to be standing by your side
Whenever you need someone to hold you tight

Try to understand that every word i say is true
Tell me what else can i do?
I just want to be


4.Oh Oh Oh My My My

Lyrics:Carrack/Will Jennings
Music:Carrack/Will Jennings

Since you ask me what it takes to love me
Get it straight right from the start
You've got to move me got to get this to me
Keep it coming right from the heart

Then oh oh oh my my my
I will never let you down
Oh oh oh my my my lovers make this world go around
You've got to keep it uncomplicated
If you see my point of view
Plain and simply stated you must do what you must do

A lot of people spend their lifetime searching
Getting more and having less
You and me though
Now we've got this working every move is happiness

Then oh oh oh my my my

Talkers talking, preachers preaching
Making life a misery
If they could feel every night what we feel
They'd wish they were you and me

Then oh oh oh my my my


5.Only A Breath Away

Written:Carrack/Brenda Russell/Mark Cawley

You might think i keep my distance
You might think i have no plans to stay
You might think i have no weakness
But you don't understand a word i say
I tell you honestly
You know you mean the world to me
And if you're ever in need
I'll tell you where i'm gonna be

Oh yeah alright
Well i'm only a breath away
Oh yeah don't cry
Cause i'm only a breath away
Only a breath away

Never been a single moment
Never even been a day gone by
When i haven't felt your presence
Deep within my heart and in my mind

No matter where you are
I'll be with you constantly
And when you're feeling alone
All you have to do is think of me


6.Nothing More Than A Memory

Lyrics:Carrack
Music:Carrack

Outside in the pouring rain
I walked the lonely streets and searched in vain
Every corner of every street
And every doorway where we used to meet
As i turned to walk away i could swear i saw your face

Long into the night i see
Shadows dancing alone with me
I know it must be
Nothing more than a memory

I try to keep my hurt inside
With some resemblance of my broken pride
I've done everything that i can do
I can't face the thought of losing you
And as i turn to walk away
I thought i saw your face again

Long into the night

People say that i'm crazy
I'm being weak when i should be strong
I've got to pull myself back together before too long


7.Somewhere In Your Heart

Lyrics:Carrack/Rafe Van Hoy
Music:Carrack/Rafe Van Hoy

They say in time all the truth comes to light
When you can see past the wrong and the right
There's a feelin' inside stronger than pride
Finds me every lonely night
Well i have searched the past in my mind
How we failed to see the danger signs
Well one good reason why we let our love die
Is something that i've failed to find

Somewhere in your heart
There's a lonely part that beats for me
Somewhere in your broken heart
There's a lonely part that beats for me

Well i have cried till my tears have turned cold
I'd trade my pride for peace in my soul
Please don't make me pay for the rest of my days
For emotions that ran out of control
We've all but closed the door on our past
And this one chance may well be our last
So before you decide one last look inside
Is all my shattered dreams can ask

Somewhere in your heart


8.Love Will Keep Us Alive

Written:Carrack/Jim Capaldi/Pete Vale

I was standing all alone against the world outside
You were searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry love will keep us alive

Don't you worry, sometimes you've just got to let it ride
The world is changing right before your eyes
Now i've found you there's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry love will keep us alive

I would die for you, climb the highest mountain
Baby there's nothing i wouldn't do, for you

Now i've found you there's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry love will keep us alive

I would die for you etc.


9.Always Have Always Will

Written:Carrack/Brenda Russell/Mark Cawley

If you're wondering if your love
Will stand the test of time
I'm here to tell you i can put your mind at ease
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world that could ever make me
leave

How could i ever walk away
Darlin' i need your love each and every day

Always have, always will
If you should ask me do i love you still
Without shame without blame
I always have and always will
I always have and always will

I remember, there were times
When my heart could not conceive
Something so beautiful bould happen in this life
A precious gift to me worth and sacrifice
There is no doubt or mystery
It's obvious that you mean everything to me

Always have, always will

It was almost like your heart called out my name
I was helpless from the start
I knew right there and then i'd never be the same
Never never
I'd never be the same


10.Don't Walk Over Me

Lyrics:Carrack/Difford
Music:Carrack/Difford

You can't see the flip side of the coin
You can't feel the part where two hearts join
There was a time i could make your day
When love was strong, has it gone
Fading far away?

Don't walk over me
Don't walk over me
Lift me up or set me free
But don't walk over me

True there's no reason for me to jump and shout
Give me love when your loves not around
I may not have the patience of a saint
Baby please don't make me hurry up and wait

Don't walk over me

I remember hearing footsteps running up to your door
They were echoes of my heartbeat
Nothing could be colder, how can love be over
When you're still not sure

Don't walk over me


11.How Long

Lyrics:Carrack
Music:Carrack

Well your friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme
But i can't help but have my suspicion
Cause i ain't quite as dumb as i seem

Well you said you were never intending
To break up our scene in this way
But there ain't any use in pretending
It could happen to us any day

How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
