The Moody Blues Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Under My Feat

It's a hard life
Never let yourself get down
You may never get back
You may never ever turn it round
You may say it took you by surprise
Never ending
Never changing
I didn't see through your disguise
It took my breath away

Under my feet
The earth shook
Under my feet
The earth just fell away
Under my feet
Gave way

Did you ever want to take a chance
Never thought the time would come round
Quite so fast
Would you walk right thro' that wall
And keep on walking till you
Couldn't stand on your feet no more
But you came and took me by surprise
When you stole up on me
I didn't see thro' your disguise
It took my breath away

Under my feet
The earth shook
Under my feet
The earth just fell away
Under my feet - gave way

Where were you
When I needed you
Where were you
When I needed you
Where were you
Where were you - I'm holding on

Under my feet
The earth shook
Under my feet
The earth just fell away
Under my feet - gave way

Under my feet
The earth shook
Right under my feet
Gave way


2.Tuesday Afternoon (forever Afternoon)

Tuesday Afternoon
Moody Blues

Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.

Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.

I'm looking at myself reflections of my mind,
It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind.
So gently swaying through the fairyland of love,
If you'll just come with me you'll see the beauty of

Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday afternoon.

Tuesday, afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh. From:
Todd & Sharon Peach


3.Are You Sitting

Lyricist:Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas

Take another sip my love and see what you will see
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell

Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell

The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell


4.How Is It (We Are Here)

Lyricist:Michael Pinder

How is it we are here on this path we walk
In this world of pointless fear filled with empty talk
Descend from the ape as scientist-priests all think
Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink

Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground
Stealing rare minerals where they can be found
Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again
While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain

Her love is like a fire burning inside
Her love is so much higher, it can't be denied
She sends us her glory, it's always been there
Her love's all around us, it's there for you and me to share

Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground
Stealing rare minerals where they can be found
Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again
While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain

How is it we are here?
How is it we are here?
How is it we are here?


5.Voice

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Won't you take me back to school?
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line?
I need to hear it just one more time

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight, tonight?

'Cause out on the ocean of life, my love
There're so many storms, we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As it's carried across the waves?

You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling, the one that it's calling is you

Make a promise, take a vow
And trust your feelings, it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel a change already beginning

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight, tonight?

How many words have I got to say?
And how many times will it be this way?
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past

You're already falling
It's calling you on to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling, the one that it's calling is you

Each and every heart, it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely, lonely one

Won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight, tonight?

Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?


6.Talking Out of Turn (Full Version)

Lyricist:John Lodge

When I took a little loving from you
Oh, I never thought about the hurting inside
But I took a little more than I should
Oh why, can't explain that I would ever

Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?

But I took a little more of you each day
When I didn't see that I was breaking you apart
With angry words of love I didn't mean
Oh why, can't believe that I would ever

Talk myself out of tomorrow
Talked like a fool to yesterday
And, as the evening loses color
Your love began to fade away

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?

Talking out of turn
Talking out of turn

If I upset you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't mean to make you cry
I don't need an alibi
To start me talking out of turn

When I took a little loving from you
Oh I can't believe that I would ever
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn?
Talk, talk, talk
Talking out of turn
Talk, talk, talk
Talking out of turn


7.The Dream - Poem

Lyricist:Graeme Edge

When the white eagle
Of the North is flying overhead
And the browns, reds and golds
Of autumn lye in the gutter, dead

Remember then the summer birds
With wings of fire flame
Come to witness springs new hope
Born of leaves decaying

As new life will come from death
Love will come at leisure
Love of love, love of life
And giving without measure

Gives in return a wondrous yearn
For promise almost seen
Live hand in hand and together we'll stand
On the threshold of a dream


8.Eyes Of A Child

Lyricist:John Lodge

Listen, hear the sound
The child awakes
Wonder all around
The child awakes

Now in his life, he never must be lost
No thoughts must deceive him
In life he must trust

With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be

A small part of a hope
Of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see

Earth falls far away
New life awaits
Time it has no day
New life awaits

Here is your dream
And now how does it feel?
No words will go with you
And now what is real?

With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be

A small part of a hope
Of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see


Lyricist:Justin Hayward

I've been thinkin' the way people do
'Bout the things that matter
To me and you

I've decided to do what I can
And to find the kind of man
I really am

I can see the world from here
And it sometimes makes me
Want to disappear

Back to nature that's where we belong
And with just one truth I've found
You can't go wrong

Wherever you go, whatever you do
Whatever you say, say, say, say
Say it with love

I remember, a long time ago
When I heard those guitars
That I worship so

I was captured, I wanted to stay
And to hear that kind of music
Everyday

Heard the songs around the world
Saw the smiling faces
On the boys and girls

I was destined to play come what may
And there's just one thing
I knew I had to say

Wherever you go, whatever you do
Whatever you say, say, say, say
Say it with love

Underneath, a sea of doubt
There's a million voices shouting
Let me out
(Let me out)

When we go, we never return
'Cos there's just one lesson
That we got to learn

Wherever you go, whatever you do
Whatever you say, say, say, say
Say it with love

Say it with love, say it with love
Say it with love, say it with love


Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Well, I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cause I know I'm gonna find my peace of mind
Someday

Where is this place that we have found
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
'Cause I've shed tears too many for me

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cause I know I'm gonna find my peace of mind
Someday

On the wind soaring free
Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see
Out of mind far from view
Beyond the reach of the nightmare come true

Well, I've had dreams enough for one
And I got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
'Cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday, someway


11.The Quiet of Christmas Morning (Bach 147)

Lyricist:Bach, Justin Hayward, John Lodge

In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn

When we take our Christmas journey
In the steps that went before
With hands across the water
In the peace forever more

In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn


12.In Your Wildest Dreams

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Once upon a time, once when you were mine
I remember skies reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams

Once the world was new our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day, we couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care, I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams

And when the music plays and when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays I hear the sound
I had to follow once upon a time

Once beneath the stars the universe was ours
Love was all we knew and all I knew was you
I wonder if you know, I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams

And when the music plays and when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays and when the music plays I hear the sound
I had to follow once upon a time

Once upon a time, once when you were mine
I remember skies mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time in your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams, in your wildest dreams


13.Don't Need A Reindeer

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Do you remember long ago
And how we loved when we were children
Let's be like children this Christmas time

And if you say that you'll be mine
Then all the stars will shine around us
Love will surround us this Christmas time

I don't need a reindeer, I don't need the snow
Tell me you love me and I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right, make it all
right

I hear you talking in my dreams
Of nights of love, with days of wonder
I still remember each Christmas time

So if you see me on the street
No need to ask me what could please me
It's your love, believe me, this Christmas time

I don't need a reindeer, I don't need the snow
Tell me you love me and I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right

Yeah, don't need the snow, yeah, I'm ready to go
This is the season of beauty and light
Love, love, we can make it all right, make it all right

I don't need a reindeer, don't need the snow
Tell me you love me and I'm ready to go
Out of the darkness, into the light
This is the Christmas where we make it all right

Yeah, people will sing
Sing of the new life and the joy it will bring
This is the season of beauty and light
Love, love we can make it all right
Yeah, love, love we can make it all right

'Cause all the world over, people will sing
Yeah, the joy it can bring
Oh, don't need the snow


14.Say What You Mean (Parts I & II)

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Say what you mean, mean what you say

Think about the words that you're using
Speak for yourself
Say what's on your mind
Think about the life that you're choosing

Whenever you need somebody
Whenever you're looking
For somebody who knows
When trouble won't leave you alone

Say what you mean, mean what you say

Look into the world of tomorrow
Say what you mean
Want what is true
Check out of that room full of sorrow

I'm ready to take you with me
I'm ready to be the one
Who's there by your side
When you've just got nowhere to hide

And oh, the angels will walk with you
Whenever you need them
Yeah, the glory that comes with love
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And oh
The treasure that waits for us
Whenever we need it
Now, I just can't hold it back

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The work and the pain, the thunder and the rain
The Word of the earth has been spoken
The bird on the wing, free as the wind
Knowing that the spell has been broken

Now you can laugh with meaning
Now you can throw away
The cloak of disguise
As you turn your face to the sky

The blue of the night, the secrets of the light
The touch of the hand that can lead you
I know you recognize the feeling of surprise
When you realize that he's seen you

Into the strange unknown of love
Standing before me
How your nakedness shows
Now I just can't leave you alone

And oh, I'm ready to take you now
Whenever you want to go
Yeah, my heart is there for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And oh
The glory that comes with love
For always and ever, now
Now you can feel me love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say what you mean, mean what you say
Tell me 'bout the love that you're feeling

Say what you mean, what you say
Say what you mean, mean what you say
Say what you mean, mean what you say

Let's walk into the forest
Only witnessed by the moon
And the breeze that once would chill us
Now excites

Say what you mean, mean what you say

And we'll touch the secret places
As the earth beneath us breathes
And the raw exquisite ecstasy
Rushes in

Say what you mean, mean what you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


15.In The Quiet Of Christmas Morning (Bach 147)

Lyricist:Bach, Justin Hayward, John Lodge

In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn

When we take our Christmas journey
In the steps that went before
With hands across the water
In the peace forever more

In the quiet of Christmas morning
In the peace of Christmas dawn
The child that is the future
Will see the earth reborn


16.I Know Your Out There Somewhere

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know, I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life

And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cause the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice

I know, I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know, I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching
For in everyone I meet

And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice

I know, I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know, I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

You see, I know you're out there somewhere
Oh, yes I know you're out there somewhere

You see, I know I'll find you somehow
Oh, yes I know I'll find you somehow

The words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That there's none so blind
As those who will not see

And to those who lack the courage
And say, it's dangerous to try
Well, they just don't know
That love eternal will not be denied

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice

I know, I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know, I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you

Yes, I know it's gonna happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning
To the fountain of our youth

And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice

I know, I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know, I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you


17.A Winter's Tale

Lyricist:Mike Batt, Tim Rice

The nights are colder now
Maybe I should close the door
And anyway the snow has covered all your footsteps
And I can follow you no more

The fire still burns at night
The memories are warm and clear
But everybody knows
It's hard to be alone this time of year

It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?

A love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale

While I stand alone
A bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you're here
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
Good luck, I wish you well
For all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
Are with you for the length
Of your time on earth

It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?

It's a love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale

It was only a winter's tale
Just another winter's tale
And why should the world take notice
Of one more love that's failed?

It's a love that can never be
Though it meant a lot to you and me
On a world-wide scale
We're just another winter's tale

We're just another winter's tale


18.Yes I Believe

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love
Still there when the innocence has gone
But we have each other we laugh and we cry
The cares of the world still carry on

Yes I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day

I once met a holy man who showed me the way
The road to tranquility at last
The more he was listening, the more he would say
With the tales of the days of future passed

He said 'Yes I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I try
To hold on to hope for a better life
With every day that goes by'

And if we dare to dream of Paradise unseen
It might come true
And if you stand by me
I swear with all my heart
I'll stand by you

Yes, I believe in a better world
A world where my sisters can be free
And I have a place in my brother's heart
For everybody to see

I dream of my destiny, my days in the sun
To live in the garden of our love
I search for some happiness
I search for my soul
I pray for some strength from God above

Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us, I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
With every beautiful day
With every beautiful day


19.When a Child Is Born

Lyricist:Bembo Dario Baldan, Ciro Dammicco, Jay (eng Lyr) Fred,
Alberto Salerno, Maurizio Seymandi, Francesco Specchia

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny spark lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel, you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon, somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born


20.In the Bleak Midwinter

Lyricist:Justin Hayward, Daniko Madonia, Traditional

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind may blow
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone

Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

What can I give Him?
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb

If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him
Give my heart

Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago


21.I'm Just a Singer (In a Rock 'n Roll Band)

Lyricist:John Charles Lodge

I'm just a wandering on the face of this Earth
Meeting so many people who are tryin' to be free
And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken, now we've found the key

And if you want the wind of change to blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band

A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
Only who is the artist? We got to agree
A thousand miles can lead so many ways
Just to know who is driving, what a help it would be

So if you want this world of yours to turn about you
And you can see exactly what to do
Please tell me, I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band

How can we understand? Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves and when you see a
Frightened person who is frightened by the people
Who are scorching this Earth, scorching this Earth
(Scorching this Earth, scorching this Earth)

I'm just a wandering on the face of this Earth
Meeting so many people who are tryin' to be free
And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken, now we've found the key

And if you want the wind of change to blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band

I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band
How can we understand? Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves and when you see a
Frightened person who is frightened by the people
Who are scorching this Earth, scorching this Earth
(Scorching this Earth, scorching this Earth)

Music is the traveler crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band
I'm just a singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band

Music is the traveler crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
I'm just the singer in a Rock 'n' Roll band
We're just the singers in a Rock 'n' Roll band


22.The Voice (Full Version)

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Won't you take me back to school?
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line?
I need to hear it just one more time

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?

'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As it's carried across the waves?

You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling, the one that it's calling is you

And trust your feelings, it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the change already beginning

Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?

Oh, won't you tell me again?
Oh, can you feel it?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight, tonight?

Oh, can you feel it tonight?
Oh, won't you tell me again tonight?


23.The Other Side of Life (Full Version)

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

The atmosphere on the streets tonight
Is the driving beat of the world
The word down here on the streets tonight
Is the truest music you've heard

So take your share of the gifts that are there
They all belong to you
And come what may at the break of each day
We all begin anew once more, we all begin anew

Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate
The other side of life tonight
The lovers and the fighters and the risk they take
Are on the other side of life tonight

Let's loose our way, go completely astray
And find ourselves again
You know the only way to get there is to take that step
To the other side of life tonight

The atmosphere on the streets tonight
Is the driving beat of the world
The word down here on the streets tonight
Is the truest music you've heard

So take your share of the gifts that are there
They all belong to you
And come what may at the break of each day
We all begin anew once more, we all begin anew

Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate
The other side of life tonight
The lovers and the fighters and the risk they take
Are on the other side of life tonight

Let's loose our way, go completely astray
And find ourselves again
You know the only way to get there is to take that step
To the other side of life tonight

Let's loose our way, go completely astray
And find ourselves again
You know the only way to get there is to take that step
To the other side of life tonight


24.Eyes of a Child, Pt. 2

Lyricist:John Lodge

I'm gonna sit and watch the web
That you will build this day
Will it be a thread of love you weave
It's yours too show the way
Then everything will be
As you will see in the light

In the eyes of the child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be

A small part
Of a hope, of a love
That exists
In the eyes of a child you will see

In the eyes of the child
You must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round
And through life you will be

A small part
Of a hope, of a love
That exists


25.House of Four Doors, Pt. 2

Lyricist:John Lodge

Walking trough that door
Outside we came nowhere at all
Perhaps the answers here
Not there anymore

Then in our hearts the light broke trough
A path lost for years is there in view

House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors
Rest of life, life's forever

House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors
Rest of life, life's forever


26.The Spirit of Christmas

Lyricist:John Charles Lodge

The star of Bethlehem was shining
Across a Palestinian sky
The Church of the Nativity was crying
And we all looked on, who can tell me why?

Where are the wise men when they're wanted?
Nowhere to be seen, like thieves in the night
The desert is drifting ever closer
The world won't sleep well tonight

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

The shepherds are in the fields sleeping
Waiting for a sign to light up the sky
Heaven is moving ever closer
The promise of a child born on high

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

Looking for an answer that escapes me
(Love set me free)
If there is a reason, let me know
(Whoa)
Drifting slow through time and space not knowing where we are
How did we ever get this far?

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know

Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
Lost in the desert or covered in snow
Where did the spirit of Christmas go?
If you can find it, please let me know


27.Eyes Of A Child II

Lyricist:John Lodge

I'm gonna sit and watch the web
That you will build this day
Will it be a thread of love you weave?
It's yours too show the way
Then everything will be as you will see in the light

Eyes of the child, you must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
A small part of a hope, of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see

With the eyes of the child, you must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
A small part of a hope, of a love that exists


28.Dr. Livingstone, I Presume?

Lyricist:Raymond Thomas

Doctor Livingston, I presume
Stepping out of the jungle gloom
Into the midday sun
What did you find there?
Did you stand a while and stare?
Did you meet anyone?

I've seen butterflies galore
I've seen people big and small
I've still not found what I'm looking for

We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone

Captain Scott, you were so bold
Now you're looking rather cold
Out there in the snow
What did you find there?
Did you stand a while and stare?
Did you meet anyone?

I've seen polar bears and seals
I've seen giant Antarctic eels
I've still not found what I'm looking for

We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone

Columbus where are you bound?
So you think the world is round
Sailed off in the blue
What did you find there?
Did you stand a while and stare?
Did you meet anyone?

There are Indians by the score
In many places that I saw
I've still not found what I'm looking for

We're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone
We're all, we're all, we're all looking for someone
We're all looking for someone


29.Isn't Life Strange (Full Version)

Lyricist:John Lodge

Isn't life strange, a turn of the page
Can't read like before, can we ask for more?
Each day passes by, how hard man will try?
The sea will not wait, you know it makes me want to cry, cry,
cry

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were and here we are

Isn't love strange, a word we arrange
With no thought or care, maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe, with love we must weave
To make us as one, you know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were and here we are

Isn't life strange, a turn of the page
A book without light, unless with love we write
To throw it away, to lose just a day
The quicksand of time, you know it makes me want to cry, cry,
cry

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were

Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were


30.Eyes of a Child, Pt. 1

Lyricist:John Lodge

Listen hear the sound, the child awakes
Wonder all around, the child awakes
Now in his life he never must be lost
No thoughts must deceive him, in life he must trust

With the eyes of a child you must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
A small part of a hope of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see

Earth falls far away, new life awaits
Time it has no day, new life awaits
Here is your dream and now how does it feel
No words will go with you and now what is real?

With the eyes of a child you must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
A small part of a hope of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see


Lyricist:Justin Hayward

Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime
As it reaches up through the snow
The more life keeps us apart
The more love will grow

Like the seed that grows in the darkness
As it reaches up to the sun
I will always reach out for you
'Cause you are the one

I bless the wings that bring you back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling I'd love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand

As I cross the bridge by the waterfall
As I make my way by the stars
There's a shadow walking beside me
Here in my heart
(In the sky like the)

Like the restless wind in the tree tops
Like a whispered voice in my ear
I will always be there for you
I'll always be here

I bless the wings that bring you back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling I'd love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand

In a far off wonderland that flashes past my eyes
The kiss of inspiration that was mine
The dust of many centuries has blown across this land
But love will not be scattered like the sand

Like the sunrise over the mountainside
Like the bird that has to be free
There's a part of you that will always be part of me

I bless the wings that bring you back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling I'd love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand


32.Happy Christmas (War Is Over)

Lyricist:John Winston Lennon, Yoko Ono

So this is Christmas and what have you done?
Another year over, a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young

Very, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear

So this is Christmas, for weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long
And so Happy Christmas, for black and for white
The yellow and red ones, let's stop all the fight

A very, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear

Wonder all around the child awakes
Now in his life he never must be lost
No thoughts must deceive him in life he must trust

That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
A small part, of a hope, of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see

Time it has no day, new life awaits
Here is your dream and now how does it feel
No words will go with you and now what is real?

With the eyes of a child, you must come out and see
That your world's spinning 'round and through life you will be
A small part, of a hope, of a love that exists
In the eyes of a child you will see


34.House Of Four Doors (Part 2)

Lyricist:John Lodge

Walking through that door
Outside we came nowhere at all
Perhaps the answers here
Not there anymore

Then in our hearts the light broke through
A path lost for years is there in view

House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors
Rest of life's life forever

House of four doors
You'll be lost now forever
House of four doors


35.White Christmas

Lyricist:Irving Berlin

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white


36.I Don't Want To Go On Without You (Come Back)

Lyricist:Bert Russell, Gerry Wexler

I don't want to go on without you
It's so bad to be alone, oh baby, come home
I need you, yes, I do now, I will be so blue
I keep seeing your face on every place

Here in the gloom of my lonely room
I hold her handkerchief and smell her sweet perfume
Yeah, baby, I can't stand to live on without you
Oh, my darling, hear my plea, come on back to me

Here in the gloom of my lonely room
I hold her handkerchief and smell her sweet perfume
I can't stand to live on without you
Oh, my darling, hear my plea, come on back to me

I can't stand to live on without you
(I can't stand to, I can't stand to live)
I need you, I'll miss you
(Don't you go now, don't you go now, don't you go now)
I don't want to go on without you
I need you


37.Everyday

Lyricist:Peter Chatman (aka:Memphis Slim)

Everyday someone finds a love, they say
And I know it will be okay

Yeah, love will come as it does to everyone
'Though I know it won't be too easy
Yeah, love means together then they throw it away
Throw it away is what they do everyday

But when love comes, we'll have fun
It's run, run, run, run, run

Everyday someone finds a love, they say
And I know it will be okay

Yeah, love will come as it does to everyone
Though I know it won't be too easy
Yes, when love comes, love comes and goes within a day
So, when it comes to me, I'm gonna make sure it stays

Everyday


38.Visions of Paradise

Lyricist:Matt Clifford, Mick Jagger, Robert Kelly Thomas

The sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls
Of me, of me

In the garden of her love I'll stay awhile
To be, to be
What the seeds of her thoughts once mean to me
Come see, come see

Visions of paradise, cloudless skies I see
Rainbows on the hill, blue onyx on the sea
Come see

And the sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls
Of me, of me


39.The Sunset

When the sun goes down,
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
See it with your eyes,
Earth re-energized
By the sun's rays every day.
Take a look out there,
Planets everywhere.
When the sun goes down
And the clouds all frown,
Night has begun for the sunset.
Shadows on the ground
Never make a sound,
Fading away in the sunset.
Night has now become
Day for everyone.

I can see it all
From this great height.
I can feel the sun
Slipping out of sight
And the world still goes on
Through the night.


40.Have You Heard

Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.

Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?


41.One More Time to Live

Lyricist:John Lodge

Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye

One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes
And he who wants to fight begins the end of time
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

Desolation
Creation
(Tell me someone why there's only confusion)
Evolution
(Tell me someone that this is all an illusion)
Pollution
(Tell me someone)
Saturation
(Tell me someone)
Population
Annihilation

Revolution
(Tell me someone why this talk of revolution)
Confusion
(Tell me someone when we're changing evolution)
Illusion

Humiliation
(Changes in my life)
Contemplation

(Changes in my life)
Communication
Compassion
Solution

Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sing a sigh

One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still permit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

Desolation
Creation
(Tell me someone why there's only confusion)
Evolution
(Tell me someone that this is all an illusion)
Pollution
(Tell me someone)

42.To Share Our Love

Lyricist:John Lodge

Makes me feel good
Now I can see
It takes more than one to give
The life we need

I can't think why
I never thought of this before
Now I know what it means to me
To share, to share my love

Now that I know
I've found the answer for myself
What a day it would be for me
To share, to share your love

I can't think why
I never thought of this before
Now I know what it means to me
To share, to share my love

Now that I know
I've found the answer for myself
What a day it would be for me
To share, to share your love

Now I know why
I've found the answer for myself
What a day it would be for me
To share, to share your love

To share, to share my love
To share, to share my love
To share, to share my love
...


43.Foolish Love

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

We ran through the summer fields
Between the earth and sky
Little did we realize
We were flying you and I

We sang to the stars above
We praised the earth below
You fell into my arms that night
And I've never let you go

It was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts and foolish love
We would give ourselves away

Remember how we cried out loud
Heard angry voices shout
I love you as I loved you then
No danger and no doubt

It was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts and foolish love
We would give ourselves away

And now as we look behind
To see the road of life
Turning to the ones we love
Salvation is in sight

'Cause it was beautiful, glorious
We were riding on a wave
With foolish hearts and foolish love
We would give ourselves away

Remember how we cried out loud
Heard angry voices shout
I love you as I loved you then
No danger and no doubt


44.Forever Autumn

Lyricist:Gary Anthony Osborne, Paul Anthony Vigrass, Jeff Wayne

The summer sun is fading
As the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near

The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
And one by one they disappear

I wish that I was flying with them
Now you're not here
Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

Through autumns golden gown
We used to kick our way
You always loved this time of year
Those fallen leaves lay undisturbed now

'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here

Like the sun through the trees you came to love me
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away
A gentle rain pours softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear my life will be forever autumn

'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here
'Cause you're not here


45.House of Four Doors

Lyricist:John Lodge

Mystery spread its cloak across the sky, we'd lost our way
Shadows fell from trees, they knew why
Then through the leaves a light broke through
A path lost for years led us to

House of four doors, I could live there forever
House of four doors, would it be there forever?

Loneliness, the face of pilgrim's eyes was gone
As the door opened wide
Beauty, they had found before my eyes to see
And to the next door we came

Love of music showed in everything we heard
Through the third door where are we?
Enter in, all ye who seek to find within
As the plaque said on the last door


46.All That Is Real Is You

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

All the world over I've searched for a dream
I've found out that life is not what it seems
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you

All of the silver and all of the gold
Are worthless to me, lifeless and cold
I've known all the treasure a man can possess
But all that is real is you

So bring me back home, my love my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home, my love, my love
Oh how I love you

Even the place where my heart used to fly
The warm summer breeze, the wild seabirds cry
And all are illusions and all just a dream
'Cause all that is real is you

So bring me back home my love, my love
Oh how I need you
Take me back home my love, my love
Oh how I love you

All the world over I've searched for a dream
I've found out that life is not what it seems
I've seen all the wonders the world has to give
But all that is real is you, 'cause all that is real is you


47.Words You Say

Lyricist:John Lodge

Words you say to me
I listen in sympathy
But I don't know what it is
That makes me ignore you

I hear you every night
I listen but the words don't seem right
My mind seems somewhere else
What else can I tell you?

I don't know what to do
I'm losing you
Something I can't control
You are in my heart and soul

I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now

Words you say to me
I'm living in fantasy
If I don't know what it is
I simply ignore you

I hear you every night
I listen but the time is never right
My life is so confused
What more can I tell you?

Don't turn and walk away
Don't leave this way
Something I can't control
You are in my heart and soul

I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now
I don't want to wake up now


48.The One

Lyricist:Justin Hayward, John Lodge

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
You wanna be the one

Heard you had a story to tell
Sold your soul in a kiss and tell
Sliding down on a helter-skelter ride
Into yesterday

No way out, the price of fame
Once it's told will you be the same
Rolling down on a roller coaster ride
We'll be waiting for you

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
You wanna be the one

Shock the world with your fall from grace
Glory days gone without a trace
No surprise you're a face without a name
But we all still love you

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
You wanna be the one

It's time to tell you
We're faithful and true
Take us back to the days
When we could dream
'Cos it makes us happy

No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
No surprise

Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one
No surprise
No surprise
Hey that you wanna be the one again
No surprise


49.Forever Now

Lyricist:John Charles Lodge

If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a world of ever
Changing expectation

If it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now

If we could be here forever
Where in this world would heaven be
As we race across the universe
In search of confirmation

Why can't it be
Why can't it be
Why can't it be forever now

There's no way out
There is no return
There's no way back
There's no way to learn

The final act
The curtain falls
On the stage
On the stage

Standing at the crossroads
Waiting for the new millennium

For if it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now

If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a children's world
Of simple fascination

If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now

For if it could be, if it could be
It would be forever now
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now


50.Love Don't Come Easy

Lyricist:John Lodge

The way you looked at me tonight
I've never seen that look
In your eyes before
But then again
I don't think, I've ever looked
Had the time to spare
The will to share with you

What have I missed?
What have I done?
I'm gonna turn back the tide
Like it's just begun

Time changes, time changes
Time changes for the better

After all, we've been through
Love don't come easy for me

The way you looked into my eyes
I could see the hurt
I saw through your disguise
Just give me time
I can make it up to you
Let me heal the pain
I'm scared of losing you

What have I missed?
Where have I gone wrong?
If I could turn back the time
So, we've just begun

Time changes
Time changes
Time changes for the better

After all, we've been through
Love don't come easy for me
For me

What have I missed
What have I done
I'm gonna turn back the tide
So we've just begun

Time changes
Time changes
Time changes for the better

After all, we've been through
Love don't come easy for me
Love don't come easy

After all, we've been through
Love don't come easy for me
Love don't come easy


51.Wherever You Are

Lyricist:John Lodge

These times have passed and gone
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt
The sorrow and the pain
'Cause tonight will never
Pass this way again

Wherever you are
Wherever you go
Wherever you stand
Let your shadow show
Whatever you think
Whatever you do
Whatever you want
Let your feelings show

These times have passed and gone
It's time that we moved on
Into a new tomorrow
And leave behind the hurt
The sorrow and the pain
'Cause tonight will never
Pass this way again
'Cause tonight will never
Pass this way again

Just like the winter sun
That hides behind the dawn
Just like the shifting sands
That ride upon the storm

Tonight will never
Pass this way again
'Cause tonight will never
Pass this way again
'Cause tonight will never
Pass this way again
'Cause tonight will never
Pass this way again


52.Haunted

Lyricist:Justin Hayward

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on and forevermore
I'll be haunted by your love

I see you walking through the gates of home
And then I wake up to find I'm still all alone
I should have known but forevermore
I'll be haunted by your love

Lonely is the river as it tumbles to the ocean
Searching for our future
We can't find our way back home

My only comfort is the love we shared
And as I walk through this world
With sadness everywhere I've had my share
And forevermore I'll be haunted by your love

And forevermore
I'll be haunted by your love

Standing in the doorway
As the sunrise greets the morning
Searching for our future
We can't find our way back home

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on and forevermore
I'll be haunted by your love

Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
Haunted by your love
