Say It With Love
I've been thinking
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
And 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
Along time ago
When I heard those guitars
That I worship so
I was captured,
I wanted to say
And to hear that kind of music
Everyday.
Heard the songs
Around the world,
Saw the smiling faces
On the boys and the girls.
I was destined
To play come what 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've 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.

Bless The Wings (That Bring You Back)
Like the rose that blooms in wintertime
As it reaches up through the snow
The more life keeps apart
The more love will grow.
Like the seed that grows in darkness
As it reaches up to the sun,
I will always reach out for you
'Cos you are the one.
I bless the wings that bring you
Back across the shore.
If I could touch you now, my darling,
And 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.
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,
And 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.
That the seed that grows in darkness
As it reaches up to the sun,
I will always reach out for you
'Cos you are the one.
I bless the wings that bring you
Back across the shore.
If I could touch you now, my darling,
And 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.

Is This Heaven?
Walking home with you last night
You said the world is beautiful
And how things look that way when you're in
Love.
I love this world
When I'm in your arms.
Is this heaven?
I opened up the letter that the
Postman gave to me this morning.
Had to stop myself from shouting out
“I love this world”.
When I'm in your arms.
Is this heaven?
When I'm in your arms.
Is this heaven?
I know that heaven waits
For those whose love is true.
Don't ask me where or when
The time for us will come again.
I sit and watch the sun go down
And in the darkness there's no sound
While in the sky tonight the stars all cry “I love you”.
Are they crying out over you
'Cos you're in my heart?
Is this heaven?
'Cos the story starts and ends with you.

Say What You Mean, Part 1
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
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 want, 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 recognise the shiver of surprise,
Then you realise 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.
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 about the love that you're feeling.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.

Say What You Mean, Part 2
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.

Lean On Me (Tonight)
Lean on me,
I'll be there
Whenever you need someone
To share in every prayer
In every dream
You've left somewhere
'Til tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cos tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before.
Lean on me,
I'm everywhere,
Wherever you look I'll be
Forever yours.
The Northern Lights,
The Southern Cross
I'll give to you
'Til tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cos tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before.
If you're lonely
You know where you can find me.
You know there's no escape when you are on your own,
And if you're worried
And you can see your world slip through your fingers,
I'll reach out for you in my heart;
There's no more dancing in the dark.
You're not alone.
Tomorrow
Will be just like it was when we were young
'Cos tonight
I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before.
Will be just like it was when we were young
Tonight I'm gonna take you where
I've never taken you before.
Will be just like it was when we were young

Hope And Pray
I see the headlights
Shining on the wall.
It seems I've got a visitor
Who is kind enough to call
And I hope and pray
Every day,
I hope and pray it's you.
I thought I heard some footsteps
On the floor
And tell me I am dreaming
Or is someone at the door
'Cos I hope and pray
Every day,
I hope and pray it's you.
Autumn turns to winter
And winter turns to spring.
I only know the passing of the days
And if you were to ask me
About the meaning of my life
It kind of lost its meaning
On the day you went away.
You know that when it comes
To matters of the heart
I thought I had it covered
But it's tearing me apart
And I hope and pray
Every day,
I hope and pray it's you,.
Autumn turns to winter
And winter turns to spring.
The summer sun still lingers
In my head.
If it wasn't for the letters
That you wrote me from the heart
I'd sometimes wonder, baby,
If I dreamed it all instead.
You see I've got to feel your hand
Upon my face.
I need to get the calling
To rejoin the human race
And I hope and pray,
Every day,
I hope and pray it's you.

Shadows On The Wall
When the fantasy we live in
Lies in pieces on the ground
And there is no false illusion
That can turn your heart around,
Nothing can change the way I feel,
Nothing can take your love from me.
If only I didn't worry;
If only I could see;
If only I could see.
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Chasing shadows as they dance the floor
Chasing dreams that were forever young.
Now I'm on my own
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Shadows on the wall.
On the sea of mediocrity
Drifting from a distant shore,
No goodbyes, no celebration,
No one there to close the door;
Only the silence that I feel,
Only the lonely road is real,
If only I didn't lose you;
If only we could be;
If only we could be.
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Chasing shadows as they dance the floor
Chasing dreams that were forever young.
Now I'm on my own
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Shadows on the wall.
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Chasing shadows as they start to fall.
Chasing dreams that were forever young.
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Chasing shadows on the wall,
Chasing shadows as they dance the floor
Chasing shadows on the wall,

Once Is Enough
Just ask me once,
Don't ask me twice,
Never ask me three times;
I don't give that much advice.
I took my chance at the first opportunity
To wander through this world
And to do what comes naturally.
Once is enough,
Just ask me once.
Once is enough,
Just ask me once.
Sometimes you're first,
Sometimes you're last
Then again you're somewhere
In your “Days of Future Passed”.
If you can find yourself and know just where you are
Don't let the wind turn you,
You're stronger than you think you are,
Once is enough,
Just ask me once.
Once is enough,
Just ask me once.
Once I was rich,
Once I was poor,
Once I was no-one.
I ain't no-one anymore.
Once in a lifetime there's a chance that comes your way;
Take it with both hands and be somebody for a day.
Once is enough,
Just ask me once.
Once is enough,
Just ask me once.

Celtic Sonant
Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining star to you.
Deep peace of the son of peace to you.
One man stood firm guarding cups overflowing,
Brimful of memories and yesterday's dreams;
He could never explain his own silent thunder,
The ocean just blows rough at this time of year.
And the wheel keeps on turning,
The wheel keeps on turning,
The wheel keeps on turning,
Turning around.
Words left unsaid may have special meanings,
Dust hidden pages fill the books left unread.
One blank page left the poet crying,
He failed to remember there's a price on his head.
And the wheel keeps on turning,
The wheel keeps on turning,
The wheel keeps on turning,
Turning around.
Away we sail with all our flags flying,
Too many changes can cause us delay.
Each star in the sky is there for a reason
Making it so bright for this time of day.
And the wheel keeps on turning,
The wheel keeps on turning,
The wheel keeps on turning,
This fool made it round.

Magic
When I look into your eye
I can't see why
There's no refection of me.
When I look in your heart
Let it be the start
Work your magic on me.
When I look into your eye
I can't see why
It's still a mystery to me
When I ask you to look inside and tell me why
Nothing can change what will be.
Baby, work your magic on me,
Baby, work your magic on me,
I'm in a state of permanent confusion
Without your love,
Without your love,
Baby, work your magic on me,
When I look in your mind
Is there a reason why
It's all an illusion to me.
I was lost in the game
That only two can play
When you work your magic on me.
Baby, work your magic on me,
Baby, work your magic on me,
I'm in a state of permanent confusion
Without your love,
Without your love,
Baby, work your magic on me,
What kind of love is this you're talking about?
It's got no reason, no easy way out.
What kind of love has got a hold on me?
What kind of love?
What kind of love?
What kind of love?
Baby, work your magic on me.
There's no reflection of me.
I should have known it from the start
That you would steal my heart
If you work all your magic on me.
Baby, work your magic on me,
Baby, work your magic on me,
I'm in a state of permanent confusion
Without your love,
Without your love,
I know I want to be with you tonight.
Baby, work your magic on me,

Never Blame The Rainbows For The Rain
Sailing along
The river of time,
Adrift on dreams
Through midnight chimes,
Positively frozen
Crystal waterfalls,
The mountain of hope
Is there to be climbed,
The sea of serenity
Is rightfully mine.
Step on to the water
Knowing what is true.
Never blame the rainbows for the rain
And learn to forget the memories
That cause you pain.
The last whispered wish of age
Is to live it all again
So, never blame the rainbows for the rain.
The beat of my heart,
The rhythm of love,
The earth that's beneath us,
The heavens above
I can hear forever
Calling out to me.
The changes we go through
Are making me strong.
The shelter of friendship
Is where we belong.
Look into the future
Knowing what we see.
Never blame the rainbows for the rain
And learn to forget the memories
That cause you pain.
The last whispered wish of age
Is to live it all again
So, never blame the rainbows for the rain.
The whirlpool of doubt
Can spin you around.
The wave of emotion
Takes you up,
Pulls you down
Leaving far behind us
Sweet young passion's spray.
Never blame the rainbows for the rain
And learn to forget the memories
That cause you pain.
The last whispered wish of age
Is to live it all again
So, never blame the rainbows,
Never blame the rainbows for the rain.
