1. You Want Love
2. Forever Young
++++++++++++++++
Let's dance in style,
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait,
We're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders,
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young
Some are like water
Some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever - and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
3. Dreams Of Passion
(Instrumental)
4. Your Life (Not Close Enough To Paradise)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I remember that the rain
Falls down
And it was cold in the
Heart of the town,
I'm still searching for the
Meaning of life,
In a world of starry eyes.
I want you back,
Back where you belong,
I never felt love
Growing up so stront.
Can you feel it,
Feel it in your heart
That nothing can
Tear us apart
Your life, your life,
Not close enough to Paradise
Your life, and your
Heart's still cold as ice.
I felt so lonely,
So lonely and cold
With nothing,
Nothing in this world to hold.
I'd tried to stop cryin',
Cryin' all day
All I want is you to stay
Your life, your life,
Not close enough to paradise
Your life, and your
Heart's still cold as ice.
Your life, love is on my mind,
But love's so hard to find
Your life we built
A mountain of love.
High enough to touch
The sky above
5. Tearin' Out My Heart
+++++++++++++++++++++++
First time I saw your face
By your side was the only place
That I would wanna be
Sometimes and I don't know why
Love can come or it can pass you by
Now you take all the love you gave to me
What you take, yeah
You're tearin' out my heart
Oh
Never thought I'd see the day
You would throw my love away
And oh... it's killing me
One thing you'll never know
How it hurts to let you go
As you turn and walk away from me
I see you waking baby
You're tearin' out me heart
Feel like I been ripped apart
You're tearin' out my heart
Daybreaks, I try to be free
But your memory is haunting me
Oh - there's nothing I can do
All alone in the candlelight
I see your face again tonight
And I feel all the emptiness without you
I'm talking without you
Tearin' out my heart
Oh, I feel like I been ripped apart
Tearin' out my heart
Tearin', tearin', tearin', tearin' out my heart
Tearin', tearin', tearin' out my heart
Tearin', tearin', tearin' out my heart
Tearin', tearin', tearin' out my heart
6. When A Blind Man Cries
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord you know
There ain't no sadder tale
Had a friend once in a room
Had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord you know
He feels it from his soul
7. Broken Heart
+++++++++++++++
I'm lost in a dream, with a mind's full of sadness,
I remember the good times, that we had in our madness,
Frozen tears with illusions of fire,
All of my life was filled with desire
Oh I wish we could go back to where we started,
Love, lost love, you're so cold, cold hearted,
The fire in your eyes gets me out of my mind,
How could it be, that you're so blind
Hunting the shadow, that was lost in the past
Like a soldier of fortune, who's life couldn't last,
Falling tears, from a love's not in vain
Time tells no lies, could our love come back again
Don't leave me alone
With my broken heart
Can't you see, that I've loved you from the start
Don't leave me alone
With my broken heart
Can't you see, that I've loved you from the start
