Another Time lyrics - Phil Collins
Lying awake
I look out my window
Wondering to myself
If this madness will ever seize
Oh but I see a light
I see a crack of hope
And I close my eyes
They can't tear this love apart
Though they try
Should we believe in the things they say?
Oh, but how would they know
'Cause in another time another place
It might have been so different
Oh, we set aside the world
We'll laugh, we'll show them all
If we can float across the stream
Just smile and float across the stream
We'll see it all pass us by
You know what?
They don't know
'Cause in another time, in another time, another place
It might have been so different
Oh, but here we are
And here we'll stay
We'll set aside the world
We can float across the stream
We can float across the stream
Find the path we want
I know we will, I know we will
Find the path we want
Reach across the hill and
Reach across the hill
We gonna go believe me we gonna go
We gonna make it
We gonna make it
'Cause nothing can stop us now
No, no, nothing can stop us now
We gonna make it
Yes, we gonna make it, girl
Because nothing can come between us
Not now, nothing can come between us
We try so hard
We can do it
We can do it
We can do it if we want
We can do it, girl
We can do it
We're gonna cross the stream
Find the path we want
Lying awake
I look out my window
Wondering to myself
Will this madness ever seize
Oh, but I see a light
I see a crack of hope
And I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Nothing can come between us now
We close our eyes
Close our eyes
Crystal Clear lyrics - Phil Collins
If you fall I will pick you up
Brush you down and wipe away your tears
When it seems that there's no way out
I'll hold you tight. And scare away your fears
Through the fire and through the rain
One thing's crystal clear
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
There will be times when the shadows fall
But I'll be there to guide you through the dark
Imagine the sun is in your eyes
I'll be your shade until the sunset stops
Even though the snow is falling
One thing's crystal clear
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
I'll be your castle in the sky
I'll be your comfort, child
I will be your shield, your fan faith trumpeter
Through the storm clouds and the thunder
One thing's crystal clear
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
There could be times, much like this
When all you see is way beyond your reach
All years [?] you can't find the door
I'll be there for you. Sleeping at your feet
Through the mist and through the rain
One thing's crystal clear
If you need me I'll be here, if you turn around
Just remember I'll be here, if you turn around
Hey Now Sunshine lyrics - Phil Collins
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine
Running at the door, she stops to brush her hair
Glancing up and down at her reflection
Did she look away, just in case he looked away?
She'd thought of some excuse for conversation
She knew that he was cure, she seen him yesterday
Talking and laughing with his sister
How long was he staying, would he still be there
She satisfied herself with this, that you should only stare
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine
All the night before his man was everywhere
But she didn't know exactly what they call him
Inventing stories to pass away the time
Until she find a courage to confront him
Managing to mention him in everything she said
She knew she never felt like this before
How long was he staying, would he still be there
She satisfied herself with this, that you should only stare
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine
In a second her heart was broken
She couldn't believe her eyes
Her pulse was beating faster every minute
Looking out the window, the car was driving off
His holiday was over, the romance with it
Running out the door, tears in her eyes
She didn't know what to say or what to do
Did he leave an address, will he be back next year?
Slowly the sunshine started broking through...
Hey now, hey now, seems we're looking ooh some sunshine...
High Flying Angel lyrics - Phil Collins
While the city starts to sleep
She's watching over you
Smoke hangs on the downtown skyline
Moon pushes through
But some people's on fire tonight
Wind rushing round their feet
Someone's gonna sleep well tonight
Word is on the street
So high flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly here tonight
It's a tribal thing we're seeing
War paint on the face
A question of territory, pride and space
People strutting and feathers flying
It's a sorry scene
Someone's sleeping well tonight
Word is on the street
So high flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly here tonight
Brother, my brother
Don't let me down again
Mother oh mother
Wipe away your tears again
High flying bird embraced him
Held him to her breast
Soft feathers brushed his face
Finally came to rest
Gently rocking him to and fro
He quietly went to sleep
Someone's found a place of peace tonight
Word is on the street
So high flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly away tonight
High flyer, high flyer
Fly high tonight
Fly angel, fly higher
Fly safe tonight
It's Only Loving (Demo) lyrics - Phil Collins
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Listen up, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
Me, not be good. Me, not be right
Me, not be black. Me, not be white
Me, not be seen. Me, not be near
And what you're feeling may not be clear
Some people, they say, you got to be stronger
But don't you buy it
Look to yourself, let your heart be your guide
Why don't you try it?
The moon, it may fall. The mountains may crumble
No doubt about it
Oceans may rise. The mighty will tumble
But if I got you, I don't mind
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Listen up, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
Me, not be old. Me, not be new
Me, not be me. Me, not be you
Me, not before. Me, not be late
When evil come, will you wait?
Some people dream and I lost belief for the moment
But don't you buy it
Be true to yourself. Just follow your instincts
Why don't you try it?
If you stand tall, all over the round you were running
No doubt about it
These stars they may fall, the tide may be turning
But if I got you, then I don't mind
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Oh I know, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Oh I know, it's only loving, no need to run away
Oh it's only loving, a search for higher ground
It's only loving, and only love can turn you around
It's only loving, in all its strangest ways
Oh I know, it's only loving
Separate Lives lyrics - Phil Collins (feat. Marilyn Martin)
You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?
You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on just holding on to times
Now that we're living separate lives
Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living (living)
Separate lives
Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger
Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives
TV Story lyrics - Phil Collins
Simpson family hardly spoke
With seven kids, it wasn't a joke
Just meeting at night on the sofa
All trying to watch TV
Tucked away in North West Three
Car in the garage, but dad lost the key
So no-one leaves, not even for school
Place is a mess, but the game shows are cool
Someday, they'll get a life
Put away the remote control
Smell the roses 'fore you get old
Hey you, get a life
Turn it off and throw it away
Wake up and walk away
'Cause grandma, granddad, remember the days
Before the one-eyed monster came
Nobody listens as they say all this
Cause everybody's glued
Lunch and dinner in front of the box
Nobody moves, if somebody knocks
Nobody ever hears the phone
Conversation's a memory
Someday, they'll get a life
With the remote control in the bin
Wave to the world you're living in
One day, they'll get a life
But at the moment, it's out of their reach
A life of luxury on the beach
One fine day, a challenge was thrown
By a man at the door in an Escort
"All this could be yours" he said with a grin
Your dream, complete with passport
Challenge was to see, if they could change
TV dinners were all that remained
The men from the game show took the set
Could they survive without it?
Well, mum and dad learned to laugh again
Kids went out and made some friends
All because of the empty space
Standing in the corner
Hey now, they've got a life
Remote control's nowhere to be seen
That's made 'em the dishes clean
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
So go put on your dancing shoes
Shout it out and spread the news
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
(Get a brand new life!)
It's out there somewhere
(Don't just settle for second best!)
Oh yeah, a brand new life
(Call now!)
Just waiting for you someplace somewhere
(All this could be yours and more!)
Oh yeah, it's a brand new life
(All you have to do is survive for it!)
It's out there somewhere
(Don't just sit there now!)
Oh yeah, a brand new life
(Get 'em one, just go get 'em one!)
Just waiting for you someplace somewhere
(Apply now! Follow me...)
Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue) lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by The Temptations)
I love you, girl, with all my heart and soul
I can't understand why you treat me cold
Your every wish, girl, is my command
And that's why I can't seem to understand why
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
One day you say you love me too
The next day you tell me that we are through
My love for you is just a game
But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
Oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, so blue?
[Instrumental]
Woo Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue? (make me blue)
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl, tell me why can't you be true? (can't be true)
The way you treat me, it just isn't fair
You make it so plain you just don't care
You have a ball around my time
Of sleepless nights I'm getting tired
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, baby?
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
Oh oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
[repeat to fade]
I love you, girl, with all my heart and soul
I can't understand why you treat me cold
Your every wish, girl, is my command
And that's why I can't seem to understand why
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
One day you say you love me too
The next day you tell me that we are through
My love for you is just a game
But each time we play, girl, my heart feels the pain
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
Oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, so blue?
[Instrumental]
Woo Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue? (make me blue)
Oh girl, oh girl, oh girl, tell me why can't you be true? (can't be true)
The way you treat me, it just isn't fair
You make it so plain you just don't care
You have a ball around my time
Of sleepless nights I'm getting tired
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
I'm askin' you girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue, baby?
Girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?
Oh oh girl, girl, girl, why you wanna make me blue?

(Love Is Like A) Heatwave lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas)
Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame
Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I 'ain't never felt like this before
But that doesn't mean it has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's a true romance
Heatwave
Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame
Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I 'ain't never felt like this before
But that doesn't mean it has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
Just like a heatwave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's a true romance
Heatwave
Uptight (Everything's Alright) lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Stevie Wonder)
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back,
But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style,
But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,
I guess her folks brought her up that way,
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.
She says no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy,
No football hero or smooth Don Juan,
Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son.
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I'll never, never make my baby cry,
And it's all right, what I can't do,
Out of sight because my heart is true,
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back,
But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
My money's low and my suit's out of style,
But it's all right if my clothes aren't new
Out of sight because my heart is true.
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,
I guess her folks brought her up that way,
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.
She says no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy,
No football hero or smooth Don Juan,
Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poorman's son.
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I'll never, never make my baby cry,
And it's all right, what I can't do,
Out of sight because my heart is true,
She says baby ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah,
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
Some Of Your Lovin' lyrics - Phil Collins

You gotta give me some
Give me some of your lovin'
You gotta give me some of your lovin'
Now I'm not a greedy girl
I don't need the world
(Just give me some)
Some of your lovin' now, oh, oh, oh, oh

In My Lonely Room lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas)
Every single time
You take me out with you
You always flirt around
With someone new
But I never criticize
The tearful things you do
Cause I'm so afraid
Of losing you
But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
Cause I just lock my door
And let myself go and
Lay right down and cry
Every place we go
People are whispering
About your flirting ways
And it hurts me so to hear
But in the public's eye
I just push behind
All my hurt inside
And pretend I don't mind
But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
In my lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely room
I push my pride aside
And lay right down and cry
In my lonely room
In my lonely room
Let myself go... [fade]
Every single time
You take me out with you
You always flirt around
With someone new
But I never criticize
The tearful things you do
Cause I'm so afraid
Of losing you
But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
Cause I just lock my door
And let myself go and
Lay right down and cry
Every place we go
People are whispering
About your flirting ways
And it hurts me so to hear
But in the public's eye
I just push behind
All my hurt inside
And pretend I don't mind
But in my lonely room
Tears I don't have to hide
In my lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely room
I push my pride aside
And lay right down and cry
In my lonely room
In my lonely room
Let myself go... [fade]
Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me A Little While) lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Kim Weston)
I know you're leaving me behind
I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now, now, I'm feeling mine
I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child wrapped in a cradle
Let me know joy before I grieve
Just once more, darling, before you leave
Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losing you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Please let me feel happy just one more time
Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, and rock me, rock me a little while
I said I never wouldn't beg, I said I wouldn't plead
Here I am, baby, begging you please
Baby, baby, please, baby, baby, please
Baby, take me in your arms
Come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling
I know you're leaving me behind
I'm seeing you, darling, for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometime
Right now, right now, now, I'm feeling mine
I tried my best to be strong, but I'm not able
I'm like a helpless child wrapped in a cradle
Let me know joy before I grieve
Just once more, darling, before you leave
Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, rock me, rock me a little while
I'm losing you and my happiness
My life is over, I must confess
I'll never, never see your smiling face no more
I'll never, never hear your knock on my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Please let me feel happy just one more time
Take me in your arms, come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling, and rock me, rock me a little while
I said I never wouldn't beg, I said I wouldn't plead
Here I am, baby, begging you please
Baby, baby, please, baby, baby, please
Baby, take me in your arms
Come on and rock me, and rock me a little while
Hold me darling
Blame It On The Sun lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Stevie Wonder)
Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems dear love has gone away
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it,
Oh yes, my love has gone astray
But I'll blame it on the sun,
The sun that didn't shine,
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time that never was enough,
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea,
But, my heart blames it on me
Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish I could tell you,
What I am feeling,
But, words won't come for me to speak
But I'll blame it on the sun,
That didn't fill the sky,
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees
I'll blame it on the day that ended once too soon,
I'll blame it on the nights that could not be,
But, my heart blames it on me
Yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh,
Your heart blames it on you this time
Where has my love gone?
How can I go on?
It seems dear love has gone away
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it,
Oh yes, my love has gone astray
But I'll blame it on the sun,
The sun that didn't shine,
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time that never was enough,
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea,
But, my heart blames it on me
Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish I could tell you,
What I am feeling,
But, words won't come for me to speak
But I'll blame it on the sun,
That didn't fill the sky,
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees
I'll blame it on the day that ended once too soon,
I'll blame it on the nights that could not be,
But, my heart blames it on me
Yeh, yeh, yeh, ooh,
Your heart blames it on you this time
Papa Was A Rolling Stone lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by The Temptations)
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son
[Chorus:]
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
[Chorus]
Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law
Momma just hung her head and said...
[Chorus 2x]
Hey Momma,
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...
[Chorus 4x]
It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember, yes I will
Cause that was the day, that my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma just hung her head and said, son
[Chorus:]
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
[Chorus]
Hey Momma!
Is it true what they say that Papa never worked a day, in his life
And Momma, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that Papa had three outside children
And another wife, and that ain't right
Heard them talking Papa doing some store front preachin'
Talked about saving souls and all the time reaching
Dealing in debt, and stealing in the name of the law
Momma just hung her head and said...
[Chorus 2x]
Hey Momma,
I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal
To pay his bills
Hey Momma,
Folks say Papa never was much on thinking
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking
Momma I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth
Momma looked up with a tear in her eye and said, son...
[Chorus 4x]
Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Stevie Wonder)
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone
You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone
You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away
Why didn't you stay?
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go then come back home
I thought the cold would leave by summer
But my quiet nights will be spent alone
You said there would be warm love in springtime
That was when you started to be cold
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find myself all alone
You said then you'd be the life in autumn
Said you'd be the one to see the way
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
But now I find my love has gone away
Why didn't you stay?
Standing In The Shadows Of Love lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by The Four Tops)
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I wanna run but there's no way to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cuz you've taken away all of my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn't I treat you right, now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best I could, now didn't I, didn't I?
So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
It may come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now won't your conscience kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute
Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I
When you needed me I was always there, now wasn't I
Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not to cry out loud
You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none
What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I
And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I
I'm standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I wanna run but there's no way to go
'Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end for me
'Cuz you've taken away all of my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn't I treat you right, now baby didn't I
Didn't I do the best I could, now didn't I, didn't I?
So don't you leave me standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
It may come today, and it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I've ain't got nothing but sorrow
Now won't your conscience kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you?
Now hold on a minute
Gave you all the love I had, now didn't I

Standing in the shadows of love
Getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not to cry out loud
You know cryin', it ain't gonna help me none
What did I do to cause all this grief?
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave?
Now wait a minute
I gave my heart and soul to you now didn't I
And didn't I always treat you good now didn't I
I'm standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Don't you see me standing in the shadows of love
Trying the best to get ready for the heartaches to come
Oh, I'm standing in the shadows of love

Jimmy Mack lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas)
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
My arms are missing you, my lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised I'd do
But this boy keeps coming around, he's trying to wear my resistance down
[Chorus:]
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
He calls me on the phone, about three times a day
Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say
But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend
[Chorus]
Need your loving, need your loving
[Instrumental break]
I wanna say, I'm not getting any stronger, I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard to be true, but Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you
[Chorus]
Need your loving, need your loving
Need your loving, need your loving...
(Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back)
[Repeats out]
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back?
My arms are missing you, my lips feel the same way too
I tried so hard to be true, like I promised I'd do
But this boy keeps coming around, he's trying to wear my resistance down
[Chorus:]
Hey Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
Jimmy, Jimmy, oh Jimmy Mack, when are you coming back
He calls me on the phone, about three times a day
Now my heart's just listening to what he has to say
But this loneliness that I have within keeps reaching out to be his friend
[Chorus]
Need your loving, need your loving
[Instrumental break]
I wanna say, I'm not getting any stronger, I can't hold out very much longer
Trying hard to be true, but Jimmy, he talks just as sweet as you
[Chorus]
Need your loving, need your loving
Need your loving, need your loving...

Something About You lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by The Four Tops)
Darlin', darlin'
If I could have you to call my very own
I work my fingers through the bone, I am alone
To you I'd always come home
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
No matter what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire
I'm just your puppet on a string
And tears sometimes it brings
But do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
And I need you just the same
Darlin', darlin'
If I could have you to call my very own
I work my fingers through the bone, I am alone
To you I'd always come home
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you set my soul on fire
I need you, yeah, badly
No matter what price I have to pay
'Cause without you, darlin', I'd worry hard
I love you anyway
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
Sweet sweet thing, I'm satisfied
Sweet sweet thing, you're my only desire
I'm just your puppet on a string
And tears sometimes it brings
But do me any way you wanna when you wanna
I'll keep you just the same
'Cause there's something about you, baby
That makes me keep loving you
There's something about you, baby
Makes me love you just a little bit more
Truly does, just a little bit more
You're a real heartbreaker
You will never let me sit down
There's something about you, baby
That shakes me all up inside
You're a real heartbreaker
And I need you just the same
Love Is Here And Now You're Gone lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by The Supremes)
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now, now you're gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there
You closed the door to your heart
And you turned the key, locked your love away from me
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
And oh, my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love
Came into my heart
You turned and you walked, just walked away
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left it's trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep
My heart cries out for your touch
But you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now, now you're gone
You persuaded me to love you
And I did
But instead of tenderness
I found heartache instead
Into your arms I fell
So unaware of the loneliness
That was waiting there
You closed the door to your heart
And you turned the key, locked your love away from me
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
And oh, my darling, now you're gone
You said loving you
Would make life beautiful
With each passing day
But as soon as love
Came into my heart
You turned and you walked, just walked away
You stripped me of my dreams
You gave me faith, then took my hope
Look at me now
Look at me
See what loving you has done to me
Look at my face
See how cryin' has left it's trace
After you made me all your own
Then you left me all alone
You made your words sound so sweet
Knowing that your love I couldn't keep
My heart cries out for your touch
But you're not there
And the lonely cry fades in the air
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
Love is here and
Oh, my darling, now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
You made me love you
Oh, my darling
Now you're gone
Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever lyrics - Phil Collins
(originally by Stevie Wonder)
I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, 'stead of only one.
When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I'm truly glad I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Each night I pray we'll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I'd be lost if you went away.
[Bridge]
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
[Bridge]
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don't you know my baby there.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I remember yet before we met
When every night and day
I had to live the life of a lonely one.
And I remember meeting you,
Discovering love could be so true
When shared by two, 'stead of only one.
When you said you loved me
We could not be parted.
Said, I built my world around you
And I'm truly glad I found you
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Each night I pray we'll never part
Because the love within my heart
Grows stronger from day to day.
Best I try, hard I try
To reassure and satisfy.
You know I'd be lost if you went away.
[Bridge]
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, I know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
[Bridge]
Because loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
I never felt so good before.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Yes it has, you know it has.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.
Don't you know my baby there.
Loving you has made my life sweeter than ever.

Going Back lyrics - Phil Collins
I think I'm going back
To the thing I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
All those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains no more trees to climb
Thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall the time when
I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got a lot more than
Just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be my magic paradise
I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see my world the way it used to be
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can 'cause I'm going back
I'm going back
Not just sitting, walking away
Yes, I'm going back
Going back to my youth
Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back
I'm going back
To the thing I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
All those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains no more trees to climb
Thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall the time when
I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got a lot more than
Just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be my magic paradise
I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate the true reality
I'd rather see my world the way it used to be
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can 'cause I'm going back
I'm going back
Not just sitting, walking away
Yes, I'm going back
Going back to my youth
Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back
I'm going back
Wake Up Call lyrics - Phil Collins
This is your wake up call... young hearts be free
Get up, get on, get out about and shout it
Tell 'em all you're dressed and on your way
Oh there's absolutely no doubt about it
This is your wake up call
You're gonna miss it all
Am I the only one out there that's listening
Cos it's such a lovely noise that I can hear
Eyes are opening up to all around them
This is their wake up call
They're gonna miss it all
Can you feel what's happening here
Everything is changing all around you
It's in the air, electricity
Everybody, yes everybody's waking up
Good morning to you
You're not the only one out there who's running
But the man who's sitting next to you's asleep
So pick him up and shake him till he hears you
This is his wake up call
He's gonna miss it all
Can you feel what's happening here
Everything is changing all around you
It's in the air, electricity
Everybody, yes everybody's waking up
Good morning to you
Those who've done all they can do sleep easy
Those that turn away, they sleep alone
But there's no doubt about it absolutely
This is a wake up call
We 're gonna miss it all
This is your wake up call
This is your wake up call
This is your wake up call
You're gonna miss it
You're gonna miss it all
Get up, get on, get out about and shout it
Tell 'em all you're dressed and on your way
Oh there's absolutely no doubt about it

You're gonna miss it all
Am I the only one out there that's listening
Cos it's such a lovely noise that I can hear
Eyes are opening up to all around them

This is your wake up call
You're gonna miss it
You're gonna miss it all
Come With Me lyrics - Phil Collins
I'll try to make the sun shine brighter for you
I will even play the fool if it makes you smile
I'll try to make you laugh if there's a tear in your eye
After all is said
After all is done
I'd do anything for you
Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright
I'll try to make the stars shine brighter for you
And I'll take you on my shoulders, hold you way up high
I'll even chase the rainbow hanging in the sky
COs after all is said
After all is done
I'd do anything for you
Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright
Through the eyes of innocence
You will find, you will see
There'll come a time it all makes sense
And you won't know, but it will show inside, deep inside
Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright
I'll try to make the days last longer for you
From the daybreak, 'til the sunset, 'til the end of time
I'll keep you safe, away from the heartache
COs when all is said
And when all is done
I'd do anything for you
Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared, don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright
Testify lyrics - Phil Collins
I want to testify, testify my love for you
I'm here to testify, testify my love for you
And I will do, all that I can do for you
Together, we will be together
Come on testify, testify your love for me
Testify, testify your love for me
You can be all the things you want to be
And together, we will be together
Every heart that's ever been broken
Knows these things must not go unspoken
Giving yourself, giving each other
The strength to lean on one another
I'll be there for you, you'll be here for me
That is why I want to testify, testify my faith in you
Come on and testify, testify your trust in me
We can be all the things we want to be
And together, we can do it together
Every heart that's ever been broken
Knows these things must not go unspoken
Giving yourself, giving each other
The strength to lean on one another
I'll be there for you, I know that you'll be here for me
I want to testify, testify my love for you
I'm here to testify, testify my love for you
I will do everything that I can do for you
And you know together, we will always be together
Don't Get Me Started lyrics - Phil Collins
Don't get me started on politicians
And the lies they spread
Don't even mention sex and religion
And who they take to bed
But if you see me running down the street
Know where I'm running to
I'm tired of honesty being denied us
I'm coming looking for you
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Wild horses won't make me
Don't get me started on information
Magazines and T.V.
There's one man under his big umbrella
While it's raining on you and me
Everyday it's getting harder to judge
Fiction from fact
I'm tired of truth being denied me
It's mine and I want it back
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Wild horses won't make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer
Where reality slips from view
They say that we can't take it
I think I can, can you?
Don't get me started on blood and thunder
with people flying blind
Not caring what or who they take with them
Or what they leave behind
It's one mans god against another
While the river of tears roll by
The things they do in the name of their father
Can someone tell me why
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Don't get me started
And the lies they spread
Don't even mention sex and religion
And who they take to bed
But if you see me running down the street
Know where I'm running to
I'm tired of honesty being denied us
I'm coming looking for you
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Wild horses won't make me
Don't get me started on information
Magazines and T.V.
There's one man under his big umbrella
While it's raining on you and me
Everyday it's getting harder to judge
Fiction from fact
I'm tired of truth being denied me
It's mine and I want it back
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Wild horses won't make me
Business as usual in our pressure steamer
Where reality slips from view
They say that we can't take it
I think I can, can you?
Don't get me started on blood and thunder
with people flying blind
Not caring what or who they take with them
Or what they leave behind
It's one mans god against another
While the river of tears roll by
The things they do in the name of their father
Can someone tell me why
Don't hold me down, I'm on my way
And nothing's gonna turn me round
Don't turn around, give it to me straight
I'm on my way and nothing's gonna shake me
I'll hold my ground
Don't get me started
Swing Low lyrics - Phil Collins
The sun is rising in the sky
Here we're waiting, standing by
Round in circles, round and round
Pulse is racing, can't sit down
The noise of people fills the air
Search for silence goes nowhere
Time just passes, starts to rain
I look at you and I feel your pain
Day after day watching it grow, counting the time
In each and every way the pleasure is mine
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The farther we reach, the farther we see
The farther we go
Time after time waiting for you, when will you come
Wanting to play the game we've begun
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The more we can give, the more we can keep
The more there will be
Like the man said he was right
'bout something coming in the air tonight
Well if it's coming, let it be now
I feel it's close, I just know somehow
I can't hold on much longer
My head is filled with wonder
But if these things don't come to pass
I'll bring you water and fill your glass
Everyday the stronger it grows, it's easy to see
Getting to feel how good it can be
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The more that we teach, the better we learn
The better we'll be
Here we're waiting, standing by
Round in circles, round and round
Pulse is racing, can't sit down
The noise of people fills the air
Search for silence goes nowhere
Time just passes, starts to rain
I look at you and I feel your pain
Day after day watching it grow, counting the time
In each and every way the pleasure is mine
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The farther we reach, the farther we see
The farther we go
Time after time waiting for you, when will you come
Wanting to play the game we've begun
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The more we can give, the more we can keep
The more there will be
Like the man said he was right
'bout something coming in the air tonight
Well if it's coming, let it be now
I feel it's close, I just know somehow
I can't hold on much longer
My head is filled with wonder
But if these things don't come to pass
I'll bring you water and fill your glass
Everyday the stronger it grows, it's easy to see
Getting to feel how good it can be
Through all of the high times
Through all of the low times
The more that we teach, the better we learn
The better we'll be
It's Not Too Late lyrics - Phil Collins
Gently rolling Father time
Is calling to him now,
And though he hears him
He looks out to sea.
Somewhere out there lie his dreams
A story with no ending
And till he finds his answers
He won't be going nowhere
For him, it's not too late
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
Quietly knocking on her door.
He patiently stands waiting,
And though she hears him
She sits steadfast in her chair.
Somewhere out there never seen
Her hopes and dreams lie waiting,
And till she finds an answer
She won't be going nowhere
For her, it's not too late
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
For everything we know that's certain
There is much we cannot see,
So we choose to close the curtain,
Never knowing what could have been
It's not too late, it's not too late, never too late
Slowly rocking the baby's bed
He strokes it's head and whispers
And though it hears him,
It keeps smiling and kicks it's feet
Somewhere out there is a life,
A lifetime made for living
So it holds on fast, it ain't going nowhere
For some it's not too late,
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
For some it's not too late
It's not too late
For some its never too late
Is calling to him now,
And though he hears him
He looks out to sea.
Somewhere out there lie his dreams
A story with no ending
And till he finds his answers
He won't be going nowhere
For him, it's not too late
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
Quietly knocking on her door.
He patiently stands waiting,
And though she hears him
She sits steadfast in her chair.
Somewhere out there never seen
Her hopes and dreams lie waiting,
And till she finds an answer
She won't be going nowhere
For her, it's not too late
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
For everything we know that's certain
There is much we cannot see,
So we choose to close the curtain,
Never knowing what could have been
It's not too late, it's not too late, never too late
Slowly rocking the baby's bed
He strokes it's head and whispers
And though it hears him,
It keeps smiling and kicks it's feet
Somewhere out there is a life,
A lifetime made for living
So it holds on fast, it ain't going nowhere
For some it's not too late,
It's not too late
For some it's never too late
For some it's not too late
It's not too late
For some its never too late
This Love, This Heart lyrics - Phil Collins
This love, this heart, these arms to hold
So tight to you, I won't let go
Can this be real, or just some dream that feels so true
I wish you love, I wish you more
You are all that I live for
I'll never hurt you believe me
My heart beats just for you
It only beats for you
I'll keep the fire alight for you
Can't think of nothing else, what can I do
This lonely heart of mine, it only beats for you
It only beats for you
You bring me peace, you make me smile
You give me strength and all the while
You ask for nothing, only love
And my heart beats just for you
It only beats for you
I'd say all these things to you
If you were here, but that's not gonna be
COs you 're not here at all
There's only me
But I won't stop trying
I won't give up, I'll wait for you
'Til you come back, it's all I can do
I'll be right here, I'm going nowhere without you
Give me the chance, just make the call
Just say the words, I'm waiting for
Just let this heart of mine show you
It only beats for you
Yes it only beats for you
It only beats for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
They're only for you
So tight to you, I won't let go
Can this be real, or just some dream that feels so true
I wish you love, I wish you more
You are all that I live for
I'll never hurt you believe me
My heart beats just for you
It only beats for you
I'll keep the fire alight for you
Can't think of nothing else, what can I do
This lonely heart of mine, it only beats for you
It only beats for you
You bring me peace, you make me smile
You give me strength and all the while
You ask for nothing, only love
And my heart beats just for you
It only beats for you
I'd say all these things to you
If you were here, but that's not gonna be
COs you 're not here at all
There's only me
But I won't stop trying
I won't give up, I'll wait for you

Yes it only beats for you
It only beats for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
This love, this heart
These arms, they're only for you
They're only for you
Driving Me Crazy lyrics - Phil Collins
No matter where you go I'll be there
No matter where you hide I'll find you
I'll be there looking through the window watching everything you do
There's no escaping me
I'll be like your worst enemy
I'm right behind you every place you run to I'll be there with you
COs being without you is driving me crazy
Oh I just don't know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
COs all I want is you ….
And I like it
If all the world's a stage and we are,
We're only just two crazy players
Please understand why I just can't go on without you anymore
There's no escaping me
I want you back, can't you see
I'm losing all control and cannot guarantee my sanity
COs being without you is driving me crazy
And I don't know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
COs all I want is you
Being without you is driving me crazy
I don't know how long I'll last
Being without you is driving me crazy
Feel my pulse it's going so fast
You, you're driving me crazy
Me, I'm out of my mind
You, you're making me crazy
Me, I'm running out of time
I am your conscience, I'm your guide
I know just what you feel inside
I share your darkest thoughts with you but share no consequences for them
There's no escaping me
I'm with you while you sleep
I hear your lies, I hear your truth
I hear you speak before you do
But being without you is driving me crazy
and I don't know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
COs all I want is you
Being without you is driving me crazy
I don't know how long I'll last
Being without you is driving me crazy
Feel my pulse it's going so fast
No matter where you hide I'll find you
I'll be there looking through the window watching everything you do
There's no escaping me
I'll be like your worst enemy
I'm right behind you every place you run to I'll be there with you
COs being without you is driving me crazy
Oh I just don't know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
COs all I want is you ….
And I like it
If all the world's a stage and we are,
We're only just two crazy players
Please understand why I just can't go on without you anymore
There's no escaping me
I want you back, can't you see
I'm losing all control and cannot guarantee my sanity
COs being without you is driving me crazy
And I don't know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
COs all I want is you
Being without you is driving me crazy
I don't know how long I'll last
Being without you is driving me crazy
Feel my pulse it's going so fast
You, you're driving me crazy
Me, I'm out of my mind
You, you're making me crazy
Me, I'm running out of time
I am your conscience, I'm your guide
I know just what you feel inside
I share your darkest thoughts with you but share no consequences for them
There's no escaping me
I'm with you while you sleep
I hear your lies, I hear your truth
I hear you speak before you do
But being without you is driving me crazy
and I don't know what to do
Yes being without you is driving me crazy
COs all I want is you
Being without you is driving me crazy
I don't know how long I'll last
Being without you is driving me crazy
Feel my pulse it's going so fast
The Least You Can Do lyrics - Phil Collins
I was lying awake last night, waiting for your call
But if the rumours are true, that won't bother you at all
I'm trying hard to understand
What it takes to be your man
Now I don't have to wonder anymore
Least you can do is say you're sorry
Least you can do is give me back my heart
Just give me back my heart
Seems living in hope was wrong those years I was away
Thinking your letters, I never received, had gone astray
You said you'd always be there for me
Like a fool I thought you'd be
Now I don't know what I was thinking at all
But the least you can do is say you're sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I won't come around no more
You won't find me standing outside your door
Least you can do is tell me why, tell me why
The least you can do is say you're sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I won't come around no more
You won't find me standing outside your door
But the least you can do is tell me why
I won't be your fool anymore
There's no need to be cruel anymore …no, no
Least you can do is say you're sorry girl
The least you can do is give me back my heart ….just give me back my heart
But if the rumours are true, that won't bother you at all
I'm trying hard to understand
What it takes to be your man
Now I don't have to wonder anymore
Least you can do is say you're sorry
Least you can do is give me back my heart
Just give me back my heart
Seems living in hope was wrong those years I was away
Thinking your letters, I never received, had gone astray
You said you'd always be there for me
Like a fool I thought you'd be
Now I don't know what I was thinking at all
But the least you can do is say you're sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I won't come around no more
You won't find me standing outside your door
Least you can do is tell me why, tell me why
The least you can do is say you're sorry girl
Least you can do is give me back my heart
I won't come around no more
You won't find me standing outside your door
But the least you can do is tell me why
I won't be your fool anymore
There's no need to be cruel anymore …no, no
Least you can do is say you're sorry girl
The least you can do is give me back my heart ….just give me back my heart
Can't Stop Loving You lyrics - Phil Collins
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time I don't know
Feeling humble
I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear that whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Even try ……I'll always be here by your side
Why, why, why ……I never wanted to say goodbye
Why even try ….I'm always here if you change, change your mind
So you 're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I even try?
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time I don't know
Feeling humble
I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear that whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Even try ……I'll always be here by your side
Why, why, why ……I never wanted to say goodbye
Why even try ….I'm always here if you change, change your mind
So you 're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend and say goodbye
But that would be lying
Cause I can't stop loving you
No I can't stop loving you
No I won't stop loving you
Why should I even try?
Thru My Eyes lyrics - Phil Collins
It's never where you think you'll find it
The thing you think you're looking for
It could take you all your lifetime
And still you'd never quite be sure
You could look everywhere
Because you know it's there
Somewhere beneath the sky
But too close and you'll get burned
There's no lesson learned
Yet some people pass it by
You'll see things different when you look thru my eyes
Things are different if you see what I see
Just look closely and you'll see thru my eyes
It could be different, you'll see how it could be,
If you can see
You may need help to find your way home
Those who brought you here have flown
The road you take is full of hope or sadness
The choice you make will be your own
But you're not alone in there
Just say hello in there
COs there are many just like you
They'll help you find someway
To make it all the way
They'll tell you all you have to do
You'll see things different when you look thru my eyes
Things are different if you see what I see
Just look closely and you'll see thru my eyes
It could be different, you'll see how it could be,
If you can see
No one warns you of the heartache
No one can hide you from the storm
But from the shadows there will come the sunshine
A place to dry and keep you warm
Though no one tells you how
Your hearts beating faster now
Getting stronger day by day
Suddenly it's clear, what you seek is near
It's what you learn along the way
Its never where you think you'll find it
The thing you think you 're looking for
Well it could take you all your lifetime
Still you'll never quite be sure
You'll find it, just look closer
The thing you think you're looking for
It could take you all your lifetime
And still you'd never quite be sure
You could look everywhere
Because you know it's there
Somewhere beneath the sky
But too close and you'll get burned
There's no lesson learned
Yet some people pass it by
You'll see things different when you look thru my eyes
Things are different if you see what I see
Just look closely and you'll see thru my eyes
It could be different, you'll see how it could be,
If you can see
You may need help to find your way home
Those who brought you here have flown
The road you take is full of hope or sadness
The choice you make will be your own
But you're not alone in there
Just say hello in there
COs there are many just like you
They'll help you find someway
To make it all the way
They'll tell you all you have to do
You'll see things different when you look thru my eyes
Things are different if you see what I see
Just look closely and you'll see thru my eyes
It could be different, you'll see how it could be,
If you can see
No one warns you of the heartache
No one can hide you from the storm
But from the shadows there will come the sunshine
A place to dry and keep you warm
Though no one tells you how
Your hearts beating faster now
Getting stronger day by day
Suddenly it's clear, what you seek is near
It's what you learn along the way
Its never where you think you'll find it
The thing you think you 're looking for
Well it could take you all your lifetime
Still you'll never quite be sure
You'll find it, just look closer
You Touch My Heart lyrics - Phil Collins
Somehow you reach in and you touch my heart
Somehow you reach in, you touch my soul
When I look at you, I see everything we could be
Eyes wide open, looking at me
What can I offer you that you've never seen
Just don't be afraid, someone is watching
You will see
Somehow when you smile the day seems brighter
Somehow when you smile you melt my heart
When I look at you I see all things we should be
And in your darkest hour, hold out your hand for me
Something will guide you, I'll be beside you
And when its rough out there, I'm with you everywhere
I will be right behind you if you should fall
Someday you will find everything you look for
Someday you will find a love like mine
When you smile at her you will feel the things you could be
Eyes wide open, looking at me
What can I offer you that you've never seen
Just don't be afraid, someone is watching
You will see, you will see
Somehow you reach in and you touch my heart
Somehow you reach in, you touch my soul
When I look at you, I see everything we could be
Somehow you reach in, you touch my soul
When I look at you, I see everything we could be
Eyes wide open, looking at me
What can I offer you that you've never seen
Just don't be afraid, someone is watching
You will see
Somehow when you smile the day seems brighter
Somehow when you smile you melt my heart
When I look at you I see all things we should be
And in your darkest hour, hold out your hand for me
Something will guide you, I'll be beside you
And when its rough out there, I'm with you everywhere
I will be right behind you if you should fall
Someday you will find everything you look for
Someday you will find a love like mine
When you smile at her you will feel the things you could be
Eyes wide open, looking at me
What can I offer you that you've never seen
Just don't be afraid, someone is watching
You will see, you will see
Somehow you reach in and you touch my heart
Somehow you reach in, you touch my soul
When I look at you, I see everything we could be
Dance Into The Light lyrics - Phil Collins
It's there in the eyes of the children
In the faces smiling in the windows
You can come on out, come on open the doors
Brush away the tears of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back
We have each other
We have one voice
Hand in hand we will lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
There'll be no more hiding in shadows of fear
There'll be no more chains to hold you
The future is yours - you hold the key
And there are no walls with freedom
Now we're here, we won't go back
We are one world
We have one voice
Side by side we are not afraid
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
Do you see the sun - it's a brand new day
Oh, the world's in your hands, now use it
What's past is past, don't turn around
Brush away the cobwebs of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back
You have each other
You have one voice
Hand in hand you can lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
In the faces smiling in the windows
You can come on out, come on open the doors
Brush away the tears of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back
We have each other
We have one voice
Hand in hand we will lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
There'll be no more hiding in shadows of fear
There'll be no more chains to hold you
The future is yours - you hold the key
And there are no walls with freedom
Now we're here, we won't go back
We are one world
We have one voice
Side by side we are not afraid
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
Do you see the sun - it's a brand new day
Oh, the world's in your hands, now use it
What's past is past, don't turn around
Brush away the cobwebs of freedom
Now we're here, there's no turning back
You have each other
You have one voice
Hand in hand you can lay the tracks
Because the train is coming to carry you home
Come dance with me
Come on and dance into the light
Everybody dance into the light
That's What You Said lyrics - Phil Collins
I remember the night you weren't at home
(had to work late is what I heard)
That's what you said
I can never forget the way it felt,
you needed some time to work it out,
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.
'Cos late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I've seen those other guys
sniffin' around your door.
Whatever happened to the words
'Lovers for all eternity?'
That's what you said,
I was your rome, you were my Juliet,
eternally
that's what you said
and now I feel a fool.
'Cos late at night I hear your voice
calling out my name,
oh I know it's just a dream
but every night's the same.
I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin
you know it don't seem right that I won't see you again
No no
Late at night I call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
sniffin' around your door.
I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain
I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again
No no
I thought your friends all liked me
I thought I fitted in just right,
that's what you said.
Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,
you can go find the things that you want.
That's what you said
and I won't feel a fool
'cos late at night I still call your name,
I'm wondering what for,
'cos I keep seeing those other guys
sniffin' around your door.
What for?
Lorenzo lyrics - Phil Collins
Once upon a time I made a lion roar -
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.
Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
in East Africa, in East Africa.
Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound.
Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?
Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.
he was sleeping in the sunbeams on the old zoo floor.
I had gone to see the park where my papa used to play,
it's called called Villa Borghese and it's on the way
to East Africa.
Down on Grand Comoro Island, where I grew past four,
I could swim and fish and snorkel on the ocean floor,
and the wind laughed, and the wind laughed through the trees as if to say,
here's a child who'll want the world to go his way
in East Africa, in East Africa.
Suddenly for me the world turned upside down -
far from my friends the lions and the dolphins came this awful sound.
Dark shadows, sounds of thunder raging over me,
came this monster called 'A-dre-no-leu-ko-dys-tro-phy'
Where's my East Africa?
Well they said, they said, they said (the ones who know it all)
they said from now on for you there will be no more standing tall,
so I took my parents' hands, I lifted my head to say
I'll just have to be a hero, there's no other way!
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Back to East Africa
Come with me I'm going back, going back to East Africa.
Just Another Story lyrics - Phil Collins
Father comes home 'cos his money's run out -
seems a little loose tonight, he starts to shout.
Dinner's not on the table, seems mother's not able,
she's staring at the TV.
You can smell it on his breath, feel it in his touch,
he never meant to hit her hard, but he's like that when he's had too much.
It's just another story 'bout going too far,
it's just another story 'bout going too far.
Well the kid's at school, she's getting good grades,
but the peer pressure's starting now - too bad, she had it made.
Seems there's always someone trying to push you to do something, you know, ain't the way they told you to -
it's hard to see
the things you taught her, how to be, it's like you told her nothing, selective memory.
Come on try it, it's just a smoke, ain't gonna kill you, so she takes a toke -
fade to grey.
It's just another story 'bout going too far,
it's just another story 'bout going too far.
Well the guys at work seemed OK, they'd buy you a drink, get you laid, what's wrong with that?
Why'd they have more money than you, expensive cars, expensive clothes, d'you ever think of what they do?
At night they're out, shakin' people down, when they're walking together seems they own the town.
But hey, who's gonna talk, you are their alibi, don't turn around, don't ask questions, just walk -
It's just another story 'bout going too far,
it's just another story 'bout going too far.
seems a little loose tonight, he starts to shout.
Dinner's not on the table, seems mother's not able,
she's staring at the TV.
You can smell it on his breath, feel it in his touch,
he never meant to hit her hard, but he's like that when he's had too much.
It's just another story 'bout going too far,
it's just another story 'bout going too far.
Well the kid's at school, she's getting good grades,
but the peer pressure's starting now - too bad, she had it made.
Seems there's always someone trying to push you to do something, you know, ain't the way they told you to -

Come on try it, it's just a smoke, ain't gonna kill you, so she takes a toke -

It's just another story 'bout going too far,

But hey, who's gonna talk, you are their alibi, don't turn around, don't ask questions, just walk -
It's just another story 'bout going too far,

Love Police lyrics - Phil Collins
Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
trying to find somehow to get away.
If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.
Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head
I try to understand, to make some sense.
I wonder if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defence.
If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me how?
I'm sure he's out there listening, but he's too tied up right now to try
Try, all of my sins
'cos I can't stop now,
just don't leave me behind.
Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll get out of here,
but the words stick in my throat and I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else,
trying to find somehow to get away
If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
trying to find somehow to get away.
If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.
Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head
I try to understand, to make some sense.
I wonder if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defence.
If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me how?
I'm sure he's out there listening, but he's too tied up right now to try
Try, all of my sins
'cos I can't stop now,
just don't leave me behind.
Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll get out of here,
but the words stick in my throat and I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else,
trying to find somehow to get away
If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.
Wear My Hat lyrics - Phil Collins
She came looking for me with her arms open wide,
like some long lost friend of mine.
She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me ?'
I said 'No, I don't believe I do'
So she looked me up and down
and undressed me with her eyes,
then she said 'You've got everything I need, you've got everything I want'
So I said 'OK,
you can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt
'cos I don't need it.
You can wear my shoes,
you can take my socks,
come on take my bag it's yours
If you love it,
you can have it if you love it,
ain't no problem if you love it,
come on take it if you love it.
So her friend came up to me
with a pen and paper in her hand,
expressing some interest in the number of my room,
She said 'Excuse me, but do you remember me? '
I said 'No,' she said 'Can I appeal to you?'
So I looked her up and down
and realising her insinuations I blushed
she said 'Listen babe you don't know me,
no you don't know me but you owe me,
and I love you,
yes I love you,
put your arms around me 'cos I love you,
I got all your records and I love you'
So I suggested
you can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt
'cos I don't need it.
You can wear my shoes,
you can take my socks,
come on take my bag it's yours
If you love it,
you can have it if you love it,
ain't no problem if you love it,
come on take it if you love it.
Well later on that day this guy came to me
with a scrap of paper in his hand
he said 'Hey buddy can you sign your name for me?'
I said 'Why, do I owe you money?' He said 'No'
I said 'Listen pal do I know you? Have we ever met?
Why do you want my name on this little piece of paper?
He said 'I love you,
I don't know you but I love you,
like my brother I love you,
put your arms around me 'cos I love you'
I said 'Hey let's not rush things
you can wear my hat,
you can have my coat,
you can take my shirt
'cos I don't need it.
You can wear my shoes,
you can take my socks,
come on take my bag it's yours
If you love it,
you can have it if you love it,
ain't no problem if you love it,
come on take it if you love it.
You can wear my hat,
You can wear my hat,
You can wear my hat,
Come on wear my hat.'

Come on wear my hat.'
It's In Your Eyes lyrics - Phil Collins
It's in your eyes,
the love you hide away.
You can't disguise
the things you feel, the thing you say
If you just call my name
any time at all, I'll be there.
I don't know why,
the way you're falling away from me.
I can't describe
it's how it feels, it's what I see.
If you just call my name
anytime at all,
anytime at all,
anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
but you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I'm here, just call my name
anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
but you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I can't disguise
the love I wait for you to share
I can't deny
if you reach out and touch my hand it's there.
Or just call my name,
anytime at all,
anytime at all,
anytime at all, I'll be there.
the love you hide away.
You can't disguise
the things you feel, the thing you say
If you just call my name
any time at all, I'll be there.
I don't know why,
the way you're falling away from me.
I can't describe
it's how it feels, it's what I see.
If you just call my name
anytime at all,
anytime at all,
anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
but you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I'm here, just call my name
anytime at all, I'll be there.
I look around, all I see is you
but you gotta tell me that you want me too.
Look at me, you're all that I need, it's true.
I can't disguise
the love I wait for you to share
I can't deny
if you reach out and touch my hand it's there.
Or just call my name,
anytime at all,
anytime at all,
anytime at all, I'll be there.
Oughta Know By Now lyrics - Phil Collins
You oughta know by now
that a man can't hold on forever,
so why do you keep waiting here
when you know it makes me want you more?
You oughta know by now
how it fells to be loved,
so why d'you keep me hanging here,
with this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down
when all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.
You oughta know by now
or maybe someone should show you
that a man needs to be loved
and even in this man's world
with you it don't come easy
You oughta know by now
that no man can sleep at night
with a burning in his heart
that would tear this man apart
take me out of my misery,
'cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.
You oughta know by now
just how good it feels to be wanted,
and no man could love you more,
so why can't you show me something,
just a little bit of something?
You oughta know by now
all the things a man has to do in his life,
and all these things I do
you know that I do it all for you, I do it all for you.
'Cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you,
yes all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you.
Let me in, let me in,
Let me in your heart.
that a man can't hold on forever,
so why do you keep waiting here
when you know it makes me want you more?
You oughta know by now
how it fells to be loved,
so why d'you keep me hanging here,
with this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down
when all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.
You oughta know by now

take me out of my misery,

'Cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you,
yes all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you.
Let me in, let me in,
Let me in your heart.
Take Me Down lyrics - Phil Collins
Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
but this body before you has seen too much pain.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.
It's at this time we feel the emotion,
nothing is wasted, nothing is lost.
I'm sure that I've been here before sometime
some bridges are reached but never are crossed.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.
Don't fail me now
'cos it's out of my control.
I'm coming with you,
I'm right beside you,
oh feet don't fail me now.
Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
but this body before you has seen too much pain.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, don't let me go.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh feet please don't fail me now.
unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
but this body before you has seen too much pain.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now.
It's at this time we feel the emotion,
nothing is wasted, nothing is lost.
I'm sure that I've been here before sometime

Take me down, take me down to the water,

Here I am, I'm waiting for you

Take me down, take me down to the water,

Here I am, I'm waiting for you

The Same Moon lyrics - Phil Collins
When the daylight comes and I look across the room,
I see you're gone.
As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand
I can see, see I'm the only one.
Well, your clothes are gone and your bags are packed
but the bed's still warm where you lay
now I need your love to come shining through
to carry me, come carry me away.
If you choose a time, I'll catch the moon
I'll see you there
from wherever I am, wherever you are
we'll find somewhere.
I see the same stars in the same sky
shining down on you,
I'll be looking up from wherever I am
and it's you I'll see if you're looking too.
There'll be days that'll seem much longer,
some nights will seem so cold,
and it's gotta come soon - please don't be too long,
don't be too long.
If you choose a time, we can catch the moon
I'll see you there
Whenever it is, from wherever you are
oh we'll find, yes we'll find somewhere.
are you looking at the same moon?
I see you're gone.
As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand
I can see, see I'm the only one.
Well, your clothes are gone and your bags are packed
but the bed's still warm where you lay
now I need your love to come shining through
to carry me, come carry me away.
If you choose a time, I'll catch the moon
I'll see you there
from wherever I am, wherever you are
we'll find somewhere.
I see the same stars in the same sky
shining down on you,
I'll be looking up from wherever I am
and it's you I'll see if you're looking too.
There'll be days that'll seem much longer,
some nights will seem so cold,
and it's gotta come soon - please don't be too long,
don't be too long.
If you choose a time, we can catch the moon
I'll see you there
Whenever it is, from wherever you are
oh we'll find, yes we'll find somewhere.
are you looking at the same moon?
River So Wide lyrics - Phil Collins
If we can cross at the place that divides us.
cross the river, the river so wide,
if we can smother the pain that's inside us,
deny the demons that wait bu our side,
we can find, find the light
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
we share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
that don't matter, can't you see what we are,
what we are, what we become?
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
don't look back, it won't help us now.
The storm we left so far behind
seems a dark memory that starts to fade,
but till we see the light we will not be safe.
We all sink or swin in the same ocean,
break our skin and we will bleed
our minutes pass with the same motion,
we face the same danger, we share the same needs,
we're all the same, you and me.
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
don't look back, that won't help us now.
Upstream, the river gets too wide
so we must build that bridge right here,
'cos if we wait we will not reach the other side.
See under that clear blue sky
the winds of change are blowing hard and long,
and they'll not stop to rest 'cos the change is gonna come
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
we share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
that don't matter, can't you see what we are,
what we are, what we become?
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
don't look back, it won't help us now.
'cos upstream the river gets too wide
and if we don't build that bridge right here, right now,
you know we'll never ever reach the other side.
cross the river, the river so wide,
if we can smother the pain that's inside us,
deny the demons that wait bu our side,
we can find, find the light
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
we share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
that don't matter, can't you see what we are,
what we are, what we become?
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
don't look back, it won't help us now.
The storm we left so far behind
seems a dark memory that starts to fade,
but till we see the light we will not be safe.
We all sink or swin in the same ocean,

our minutes pass with the same motion,
we face the same danger, we share the same needs,
we're all the same, you and me.
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
don't look back, that won't help us now.
Upstream, the river gets too wide

No Matter Who lyrics - Phil Collins
Well it's a long, long road when you're out there alone,
no matter what side you're on,
but there's a heart of gold behind the smile
and it brought me to where I belong.
'Cos I'd set my sights on finding you
and I'm staying forever, you know it's true
Yes I'd set my sights on finding you
don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright
No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,
love always finds a way
finds a way to your heart.
Well it's a cold lonely road, but you can survive
no matter which way you choose,
and as long as there's life behind these eyes
I'm here with you, win or lose.
If you let your light shine on through
someone will come round to pull you through,
yes just let your light shine on through,
don't be lonely tonight, you can make it alright.
Just hold my hand,
come with me a while, I'll make you smile.
Just hold my hand
there's someone who loves you, it's me, oh it's me.
No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,
love always finds a way
finds a way to your heart.
It's alright that you cry if you're lonely sometime,
no matter who's by your side,
'cos the love that you look for is inside us all,
but it's something you have to find
And I'd set my sights on finding you
and I'm staying forever, you know it's true.
Yes I'd set all my sights on findingyou
don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright.
No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,
love always finds a way
finds a way to your heart.
no matter what side you're on,
but there's a heart of gold behind the smile
and it brought me to where I belong.
'Cos I'd set my sights on finding you
and I'm staying forever, you know it's true
Yes I'd set my sights on finding you
don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright
No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,
love always finds a way
finds a way to your heart.
Well it's a cold lonely road, but you can survive
no matter which way you choose,
and as long as there's life behind these eyes
I'm here with you, win or lose.
If you let your light shine on through
someone will come round to pull you through,
yes just let your light shine on through,
don't be lonely tonight, you can make it alright.
Just hold my hand,
come with me a while, I'll make you smile.
Just hold my hand
there's someone who loves you, it's me, oh it's me.
No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,
love always finds a way
finds a way to your heart.
It's alright that you cry if you're lonely sometime,
no matter who's by your side,
'cos the love that you look for is inside us all,
but it's something you have to find
And I'd set my sights on finding you
and I'm staying forever, you know it's true.
Yes I'd set all my sights on findingyou
don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright.
No matter what you say,
no matter who you are,
love always finds a way
finds a way to your heart.
The Times They Are A-Changin' lyrics - Phil Collins
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam,
and admit that the waters around you have grown,
and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
if your time to you is worth savin'
then you better start swimmin'
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen
and keep your eyes wide,
the chance won't come again,
and don't speak too soon
for the wheel's still in spin
and there's no tellin' who
that it's namin'
for the loser now
will be later to win
for the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen,
please heed the call
don't stand in the doorway,
don't block the hall,
for he that' gets hurt
will be he who has stalled,
there's a battle
outside and it's ragin'
it'll soon shake your windows
and rattle your walls
for the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
throughout the land,
and don't criticize
what you can't understand
your sons and your daughters
are beyond your command,
your old road is rapidly agin',
please get out of the new one
if you can't lend your hand
for the times they are a-changin'
The line it is drawn,
the curse it is cast,
the slow one now will
later be fast,
as the present now
will later be past
the order is rapidly fadin'
and the first one now
will later be last
for the times they are a-changin'
and admit that the waters around you have grown,
and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
if your time to you is worth savin'
then you better start swimmin'
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen
and keep your eyes wide,
the chance won't come again,
and don't speak too soon
for the wheel's still in spin
and there's no tellin' who
that it's namin'
for the loser now
will be later to win
for the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen,
please heed the call
don't stand in the doorway,
don't block the hall,
for he that' gets hurt
will be he who has stalled,
there's a battle
outside and it's ragin'
it'll soon shake your windows
and rattle your walls
for the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
throughout the land,
and don't criticize
what you can't understand
your sons and your daughters
are beyond your command,
your old road is rapidly agin',
please get out of the new one

Both Sides Of The Story lyrics - Phil Collins
'Though we might hate to admit it, there are always two sides to every story...'
Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town
where death waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut some stranger down
sleeping with an empty bottle, he's a sad and an empty hearted man
all he needs is a job, and a little respect, so he can get out while he can
We always need to hear both sides of the story
A neighbourhood peace is shattered it's the middle of the night
young faces hide in the shadows, while they watch their mother and father fight
he says she's been unfaithful, she says her love for him has gone
and the brother shrugs to his sister and says "looks like it's just us from now on"
We always need to hear both sides of the story
And the lights are all on, the world is watching now
people looking for truth, we must not fail them now
be sure, before we close our eyes
don't walk away from here
'til you hear both sides
Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm
neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawn
they've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the streets
while small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat
We always need to hear both sides of the story
And the lights are all on, the world is watching now
people looking for truth, we must not fail them now
be sure, before we close our eyes
don't walk away from here
'til you see both sides
White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world
ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall
he says "would you respect me if I didn't have this gun
'cos without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one"
We always need to hear both sides of the story
Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town

Can't Turn Back The Years lyrics - Phil Collins
'No matter how much you think you want or need it, the past has to remain just that, the past...'
Could've given you everything that you need
but I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
but I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at night
that I cannot turn back the years
so I look out my window, turn off my light
but I cannot turn back the years
Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
people are hurting and they're looking to me
and I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
All that I lived for, all that I dreamed
but I cannot turn back the years
You're the water i drink, you're the air that I breathe
but i cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
Could've given you everything that you need
but I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
but I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at night
that I cannot turn back the years
so I look out my window, turn off my light
but I cannot turn back the years
Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
people are hurting and they're looking to me
and I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
All that I lived for, all that I dreamed
but I cannot turn back the years
You're the water i drink, you're the air that I breathe
but i cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
Everyday lyrics - Phil Collins
'Love can make you do things you never dreamed possible...'
I got lost, couldn't find my way
and I guess there's nothing more to say
love can make you blind, make you act so strange
but I'm here and here I will stay
So everyday I cry
yes everyday I fall
do you ever wonder why, why I love everything about you
But everyday I say I'll try to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep we will
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by
and everyday I fall
it makes me wonder why,
my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
to make my heart be still
'cos every way there is to cry,
ourselves to sleep, we will
You'll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
you'll never know just how close we were
you'll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
you'll never know
no you'll never see
The book closes and we try to forget
but I know that things won't change
how we feel, how life goes on
and that seems so strange
And so the light fades away
try, try, try as I may
I can't stop thinking about you
it seems my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry,
ourselves to sleep, we will
Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
everyday, everyday it gets a little harder
I got lost, couldn't find my way
and I guess there's nothing more to say
love can make you blind, make you act so strange
but I'm here and here I will stay
So everyday I cry
yes everyday I fall
do you ever wonder why, why I love everything about you
But everyday I say I'll try to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep we will
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by
and everyday I fall
it makes me wonder why,
my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
to make my heart be still
'cos every way there is to cry,
ourselves to sleep, we will
You'll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
you'll never know just how close we were
you'll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
you'll never know
no you'll never see
The book closes and we try to forget
but I know that things won't change
how we feel, how life goes on
and that seems so strange
And so the light fades away
try, try, try as I may
I can't stop thinking about you
it seems my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry,
ourselves to sleep, we will
Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
everyday, everyday it gets a little harder
I've Forgotten Everything lyrics - Phil Collins
'...I get along without you very well' [Hoagy Carmichael. 1939]
I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang
The memories are hazy now
I don't recall at all
there's nothing, there's nothing there
just me
and I don't understand why
I can't recollect my feelings
'til someone mentions that they saw you
I really don't remember all the things you said
'til someone shows me where you live
Why is everything so hazy now
I don't recall at all
there's nothing, there's nothing there
just me
and I don't understand why
I can't recall your smile
the touch of your hand holding mine
and I can't remember why
holding you seemed so right
The memories they're hazy now
I don't recall at all
there's nothing, there's nothing there
just me
and I don't understand why
I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang
I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang
The memories are hazy now
I don't recall at all
there's nothing, there's nothing there
just me
and I don't understand why
I can't recollect my feelings
'til someone mentions that they saw you
I really don't remember all the things you said
'til someone shows me where you live
Why is everything so hazy now
I don't recall at all
there's nothing, there's nothing there
just me
and I don't understand why
I can't recall your smile
the touch of your hand holding mine
and I can't remember why
holding you seemed so right
The memories they're hazy now
I don't recall at all
there's nothing, there's nothing there

and I don't understand why
I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang
We're Sons Of Our Fathers lyrics - Phil Collins
'It seems that family values have changed since I was a kid, at least I remember it that way...'
When I grow up to be a man
like my father was when I was young
I hope i can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
What makes these people so different now
what makes these times so strange?
seems most people got most everything they need
how come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
this world seemed a nicer place to be
but time slowly passes and one day you look around
you hardly recognise what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
They're beyond our control
We're all sons of our fathers
sometimes I feel like mine
and I can hear him say, the things I say
seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen we'll never know
guess that was then and this is now
we always knew that change was gonna come
but I want to go back, please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
When I grow up to be a man
like my father was when I was young
I hope i can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
What makes these people so different now
what makes these times so strange?
seems most people got most everything they need
how come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
this world seemed a nicer place to be
but time slowly passes and one day you look around
you hardly recognise what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
They're beyond our control
We're all sons of our fathers
sometimes I feel like mine
and I can hear him say, the things I say
seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen we'll never know
guess that was then and this is now
we always knew that change was gonna come
but I want to go back, please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul

Can't Find My Way lyrics - Phil Collins
'...To try to do the right thing...always the right thing.'
I've been doing some thinking, here on my own
it's been on my mind
this debt I owe to you
I have to repay in kind
But I can't find my way
Tired and weary, I follow the path
that leads to your door
but it occurred to me, all that I have
is already yours
But I can't find my way
Oh, just to sit a while
Oh, just to sit and watch you smile
But I can't find my way
Keep the faith you say
to keep the faith I pray
be strong you say
just follow the light
Wheels keep turning but the close I get
the farther I seem
peace will only come
finding the peace within
But I can't find my way
I've been doing some thinking, here on my own
it's been on my mind
this debt I owe to you
I have to repay in kind
But I can't find my way
Tired and weary, I follow the path
that leads to your door
but it occurred to me, all that I have
is already yours
But I can't find my way
Oh, just to sit a while
Oh, just to sit and watch you smile
But I can't find my way
Keep the faith you say
to keep the faith I pray
be strong you say
just follow the light
Wheels keep turning but the close I get
the farther I seem
peace will only come
finding the peace within
But I can't find my way
We Fly So Close lyrics - Phil Collins
'We never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...'
My harbour lights are fading fast
soon they'll disappear
alone I sit in darkness
hoping someone might come near
though I wait, though I try
no one ever comes
and the feeling that I have flood over me
the river starts to run
We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
there are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just won't burn
all my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
and the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise at last
We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close
My heart is racing much faster now
life passes before my eyes
something's I see, they make me smile
something's they make me cry
so I look, so I try to find
a lesson I can learn
the passing of time hasn't changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return
You know we fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close
We fly so close, you and I sometimes
sometimes we fly so close,
we'll never know how many times
we fly so close
we fly so close
My harbour lights are fading fast
soon they'll disappear
alone I sit in darkness
hoping someone might come near
though I wait, though I try
no one ever comes
and the feeling that I have flood over me
the river starts to run
We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
there are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just won't burn
all my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
and the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise at last
We fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close
My heart is racing much faster now
life passes before my eyes
something's I see, they make me smile
something's they make me cry
so I look, so I try to find
a lesson I can learn
the passing of time hasn't changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return
You know we fly so close
we fly so close
sometimes we fly too close
we fly too close
We fly so close, you and I sometimes
sometimes we fly so close,
we'll never know how many times
we fly so close
we fly so close
There's A Place For Us lyrics - Phil Collins
'...There's a place for us, somewhere a time and a place.'
So here we are together
just you and me
sitting side by side
don't know why
with time just racing by
but I don't want to go
Well I don't know much about it
'cos all I am is what you see
in front of you
there's no more
feels so close and yet so far
but I don't want to go
Here I am, take my hand
here I am, please take my hand
I'd like to sit here with you if that's alright
if you don't mind I could sit and stare all night
sit here waiting for you to hold me tight
It's sad but I know it's true
you see I know you well
you'd only laugh at me
and that would hurt me so
just look at me here
you've got me pleading with you
but i don't want to go
'Cos you know that I love you so
yes you know that I love you so
Here. I will be here love
for you love, I will always be here love
If you look real close
you'll see my heart is on my sleeve
and it'll be here waiting
waiting for you, waiting for me
someone once said that if you truly, truly believe
you can make things happen
make things appear to be all that they seem
tell me do you believe?
We'll find a hideaway
together we'll find a way
somewhere, somehow, we'll find some way
there must be somewhere
there must be someplace
we can find somewhere
where they don't know my face
believe me we can find it
yes we can find it
somewhere, there's a place for us
somewhere, a time and a place for us
somewhere
we fly so close
So here we are together
just you and me
sitting side by side
don't know why
with time just racing by
but I don't want to go
Well I don't know much about it
'cos all I am is what you see

We Wait And We Wonder lyrics - Phil Collins
'To the outsider it seems that we in Britain live daily under the cloud of terrorism.
That familiarity sometimes makes you think of
it as almost normal, then suddenly something will happen...'
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong
we wonder just what they must be thinking
to take a life of one so young
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
how far must we go, to prove to you?
We wait and we wonder how this happened
killing the old, the innocent, the young
while sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding
that what they do could somehow be so wrong
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
how far must we go, to prove to you?
So we will wait and we'll wonder
No regrets, no forgiveness, no compasssion
these brave heroes only know to hit and run
slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
how can these scars ever heal, when all is said and done
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
how many tears must fall to prove to you?
please tell me, when will it be over now, how soon?
and how far must they go, to prove to you?
So we wait and we wonder
That familiarity sometimes makes you think of
it as almost normal, then suddenly something will happen...'
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong
we wonder just what they must be thinking
to take a life of one so young
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
how far must we go, to prove to you?
We wait and we wonder how this happened
killing the old, the innocent, the young
while sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding
that what they do could somehow be so wrong
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
how far must we go, to prove to you?
So we will wait and we'll wonder
No regrets, no forgiveness, no compasssion
these brave heroes only know to hit and run
slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
how can these scars ever heal, when all is said and done
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
how many tears must fall to prove to you?
please tell me, when will it be over now, how soon?
and how far must they go, to prove to you?
So we wait and we wonder
Please Come Out Tonight lyrics - Phil Collins
'...When all is said and done, there's just you and me.'
Please come out tonight I need you here
its been a long, long time and I can't wait
let's find out, let's see what it's like out there
if it rains we'll find somewhere, somewhere dry and warm
You'll say "my, it's been a long, long time"
I'll say "how are you? I've been fine"
Please come out tonight, let's go out and see the world
we can try to find, find somewhere
it seems so long ago, I can hardly remember the time
it's all I want, it's all I want, so let's see what we find
You'll say "there's so much you need to know"
I'll say "are you really sure you have to go?"
We don't need a reason, no explainations
just stay with me here, tonight
I won't say a word
I just need you here
Please come out tonight, let's go out and find ourselves
you can lean your head on my shoulder, remember?
You'll say "My, is that the time?"
I'll say "why not stay with me tonight?"
We don't need a reason
it's so warm inside
there's no one between us
if someone comes we can hide
just lay here beside me
just see what it's like
Please come out tonight I need you here
its been a long, long time and I can't wait
let's find out, let's see what it's like out there
if it rains we'll find somewhere, somewhere dry and warm
You'll say "my, it's been a long, long time"
I'll say "how are you? I've been fine"
Please come out tonight, let's go out and see the world
we can try to find, find somewhere
it seems so long ago, I can hardly remember the time
it's all I want, it's all I want, so let's see what we find
You'll say "there's so much you need to know"
I'll say "are you really sure you have to go?"
We don't need a reason, no explainations
just stay with me here, tonight
I won't say a word
I just need you here
Please come out tonight, let's go out and find ourselves
you can lean your head on my shoulder, remember?
You'll say "My, is that the time?"
I'll say "why not stay with me tonight?"
We don't need a reason
it's so warm inside
there's no one between us
if someone comes we can hide
just lay here beside me
just see what it's like
Hang In Long Enough lyrics - Phil Collins
The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
The writing's on the wall, for you to see
You never thought you'd ever get the taste
You never thought that it could be this good
Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key
Reach out and touch it's all yours.
If you hang in long enough, you'll do it
Just hang in long enough
You're down on the ground, or so you say
You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear
It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.
You never thought you'd ever get the chance
You never thought your break would come along
If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key
Just reach out and touch it's all yours
If you hang in...
They always say
The best things in life are free
But you want to have everything
Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all.
So hang in long enough, you'll do it
Hang in long enough
They'll let you out, then pull you in
Playing hell with your emotions,
You'll feel like giving in.
So just hang in long enough...
The writing's on the wall, for you to see
You never thought you'd ever get the taste
You never thought that it could be this good
Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key
Reach out and touch it's all yours.
If you hang in long enough, you'll do it
Just hang in long enough
You're down on the ground, or so you say
You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear
It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.
You never thought you'd ever get the chance
You never thought your break would come along
If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key
Just reach out and touch it's all yours
If you hang in...
They always say
The best things in life are free
But you want to have everything
Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all.
So hang in long enough, you'll do it
Hang in long enough
They'll let you out, then pull you in
Playing hell with your emotions,
You'll feel like giving in.
So just hang in long enough...
That's Just The Way It Is lyrics - Phil Collins
All day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
And I don't know why
Why do we keep holding on
I don't know why
Pretending to be oh so strong
Oh why
Is there something I don't know
Or something very wrong, with you and me
or maybe
That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
That's just the way it is.
They've been waiting for word to come down
They've been waiting for you night and day
They won't wait any longer for you
It may already be too late
And I don't know why...
You see the dying, you feel the pain
What have you got to say
If we agree that we can disagree
We could stop all of this today
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
But you cannot fight no more
You must want to look your son in the eyes
When he asks you what you did it for
'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
I don't know why...
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
And I don't know why
Why do we keep holding on
I don't know why
Pretending to be oh so strong
Oh why
Is there something I don't know
Or something very wrong, with you and me
or maybe
That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
That's just the way it is.
They've been waiting for word to come down
They've been waiting for you night and day
They won't wait any longer for you
It may already be too late
And I don't know why...
You see the dying, you feel the pain
What have you got to say
If we agree that we can disagree
We could stop all of this today
It's been your life for as long as you can remember
But you cannot fight no more
You must want to look your son in the eyes
When he asks you what you did it for
'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
And he didn't even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
I don't know why...
Do You Remember? lyrics - Phil Collins
We never talked about it
But I hear the blame was mine
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
But I wouldn't want to waste your time
'Cause I love you, but I can't take any more
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
If we could try, like we tried before
Would you keep on telling me those lies?
(telling me lies)
Do you remember?..
There seemed no way to make up
'Cause it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me
It's a look I know I'll never forget
You could've come over to my side
You could've let me know
You could've tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed too far for you to go.
(so far to go)
Do you remember?..
Through all of my life
In spite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes
'Cause they just can't wait
To get hurt again
Tell me, do you remember?..
Do you remember?..
There are things we won't recall
And feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see it
'Cause we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
And now it's too late
Do you remember?..
(now it's over)
Do you remember?..
(now it's over)
But I hear the blame was mine
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
But I wouldn't want to waste your time
'Cause I love you, but I can't take any more
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
If we could try, like we tried before
Would you keep on telling me those lies?
(telling me lies)
Do you remember?..
There seemed no way to make up
'Cause it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me
It's a look I know I'll never forget
You could've come over to my side
You could've let me know
You could've tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed too far for you to go.
(so far to go)
Do you remember?..
Through all of my life
In spite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes
'Cause they just can't wait
To get hurt again
Tell me, do you remember?..
Do you remember?..
There are things we won't recall
And feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see it
'Cause we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
And now it's too late
Do you remember?..
(now it's over)
Do you remember?..
(now it's over)
