If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true.
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.

All my life I've been belated,
Never taking any chances, always hesitating.
Where's the pay-off? Where's the glory?
Where's the one I'm holding out for?
Why's he walking through the door, the one that you walk through?
If he isn't you?

If there was a man I could dream of,
I'd dream about a dream come true.
If there was a man I could ever love,
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you.

Happy endings never find me,
I put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me.
Saw my moment overdoomed, but,
If there was a man out there for me,
I wish it would be someone who could love me too,
If someone was you.

Where has everybody gone?
I've got this feeling, God, am I here on my own?
Where's my support now, where's the ranks of the strong?
In this faceless crowd, where can I belong?

Everybody's gone insane to catch a plane to help the heavens closer, oh,
They want the kingdom but they don't want the king, they want his throne,
There's no time, there's no time at all.

Where has everybody gone?
With great pleasure I sing your national song,
Because your beautiful land will soon be long gone,
And the ashes of your memoirs will be strewn across the lawn.

Hack your face, save your case, reserve your plane in the everafter, oh,
Cause hallowed halls are lined with walls,
That are cracked with delirious laughter,
There's no time, there's no time at all.

Where has everybody gone?
There's no time, there's no time at all,
You won't survive and soon be long gone, Gone.

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Hey driver where're we going? I swear my nerves are showing
Set my hopes up way too high, the living's in the way we die.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people I'm the one they frame.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
in the living daylights.

Alright, hold on tight now
it's down, down to the wire
Get your hopes up way too high
The living's in the way we die.

Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand changes, everything's the same.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say:
Save the darkness, let it never fade away -
In the living daylights
living daylights
living daylights. Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Hundred thousand people, I'm the one they frame
In the living daylights
in the living daylights. The Living daylights
Set your hopes up way too high
The Living daylights
The living's in the way we die
The Living daylights
Set your hopes up way too high
The Living daylights
The living's in the way we die

You've been taken by the city
The oldest story in the world
You come for the gold
And end up bought and sold

You can't seem to make no difference
With all the lies that you've been told

What you don't know is...
You're the best man in the world

There's more than meets the eye
There's so much you don't see
Like the power of your heart
Driving your destiny

Magic takes what she deserves
A lesser heart would lose its nerve

You've been taken by the city
But you've done better than you know

You're part of the sky
You're part of the street
You've got the talent to satisfy me

What you don't know is...
You're the best man in the world
Best man in the world
Best man in the world

There's more than meets the eye
There's so much you don't see
Like the power of your heart
Driving your destiny
Magic takes what she deserves
A lesser heart would lose its nerve

You've been taken by the city
But you've done better than you know

You're part of the sky
You're part of the street
You've got the talent to satisfy me

What you don't know is...
You're the best man in the world
Best man in the world
Best man in the world
Best man in the world
Best man in the world
Best man in the world

A song I know so well
The music of goodbye again
It's there each time we say hello
As always there's no reason why again
You kiss me with your eyes
And in your arms I fly again
But even as we touch the clouds
There in the quiet is goodbye again
Perhaps the way I hold you
Makes you afraid I'll hold you
Makes you afraid to love me, love me
As through the night we dance
The tender dance of try again
I hear it playing softly and sadly
The music of goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Meeting you, with a view to a kill,
Face to face, in secret places. Feel the chill.
Nightfall covers me, but you know,
the plans I'm making still over sea.
Could it be the whole earth opening wide
A sacred why? A mystery gaping inside
The weekends; why?

Until we dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire to fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire; that fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire.

Choice for you is the view to a kill.
Between the shades, assassination standing still.
The first crystal tears fall as snowflakes on your body,
First time in years to drench your skin with lover's rosy stain.
A chance to find a phoenix for the flame,
A chance to die, but can we

Dance into the fire, that fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire to fatal sounds of broken dreams.
Dance into the fire; That fatal kiss is all we need.
Dance into the fire, when all we see is a view to a kill.

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two.
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one.

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true.

We're an all time high, we'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high, we'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time high.

Letting go of a dream
You dream day and night

Changing ways
When your ways are no longer right

Holding back
Just as hard as chasing a star
And true love can be love from afar

Letting go, turning 'round, and walking away
From the face that you long to face every day

May not make sense right now
But in time it will
For true love knows just when to stand still

Well, you can't hold a river
Or fly like an eagle
Or capture the wind rolling by

And the love that you hold out
Is not worth the taking
And if you are wise
Then you won't even try

Letting go, saying no
Is so hard to do
Think of what's best for her
Not what's best for you

And if you can, you've found love
Forever you know
It's only your hands
Letting go

And you can't hold a river
Or fly like an eagle
Or capture the wind rolling by

And the love that you hold out
Is not worth the taking
And if you are wise
Then you won't even try

Letting go, saying no
Is so hard to do
Think of what's best for her
Not what's best for you

And if you can, you've found love
Forever you know
'Cause it's only your hands
Letting go

It's only your hands
Letting go

There is some feeling
is breaking my heart
who knows
if somebody cares

One dream at a time, day to day, night to night.
This time round we just might get it right.
One song at a time, what's the rush, why pretend?
Being sure makes more sense in the end.

The looks, the words, the feelings,
Feel true to me, can't stand this waiting.
Your eyes tell me I found you.
When I'm around you're all I see.

One dream at a time, no, that's too hard to do.
Forget all that I had said to you.
True love can take more than one dream at a time.
