NEVER FORGET

Remember
Forever and ever
I will never forget

REMEMBERING

I remember walking here
On a rainy April night
With you by my side

We were walking hand in hand
The rain came down, I didn't care
I could walk forever more to please you
Only to please you

I just want to be close to you all of the time

But I knew it couldn't last
I would never find a way
To make you stay

There was nothing I could do
And even though you cared for me
We just have to live apart forever
Until the end of time

I'll remember your eyes dark and warm
I'll remember your hands soft, yet strong
Your lips all over me
Remember how good it used to be

So farewell to you, my friend
Everything I said was true
I care for you

And I hope you'll find a way
To be with me again someday
'Cause I know we have to be together
Until the end of time

I'll remember your eyes dark and warm
I'll remember your hands soft, yet strong
Your lips all over me
Remember how good it used to be

I'll remember your smile sweet and kind
And your face is always on my mind
Your tears, that awful night
We parted, I still hurt inside

I'll remember you forever more

I just want to be close to you all of the time

Oh, how I love you

I'll remember your eyes dark and warm
I'll remember your hands soft, yet strong
Your lips all over me
Remember how good it used to be

I'll remember your smile sweet and kind
And your face is always on my mind
Your tears, that awful night
We parted, I still hurt inside

I'll remember you forever more

EIGHTEEN DAYS

Being with you, it feels so good, talking to you
Being your friend, it feels so right, it's all I need

I've never ever met a man like you before
I've never ever been so open-hearted

When you're around I feel so safe and so secure
When you're not here I think of you every hour

I'll never ever let someone tear this apart
I'll never ever try to hurt your feelings

Just eighteen days was by your side
Just eighteen days
I never knew how much I cared
Until somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore
It broke my heart

Just eighteen days was by your side
Just eighteen days
You'll never know how much I cried
Because somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore
It broke my heart

Because all I really wanted
Was to be your friend
But your lover didn't see it
Couldn't understand
And I never got to show you
Just how right it felt to be with you

Each time we meet, each time we talk I learn a lot
Everything seems to make sense when you are near

I'd never ever make you choose against yourself
I'd never ever force my will upon you

Just eighteen days was by your side
Just eighteen days
I never knew how much I cared
Until somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore
It broke my heart

Just eighteen days was by your side
Just eighteen days
You'll never know how much I cried
Because somebody told you
You shouldn't see me anymore
It broke my heart

And I don't think I can take it
If you can't make up your mind

BARRICADES

Thought I was tough, thought I was cold
I could control my emotions
I built a fence around my heart
You tore it down in a moment

I wish that I could hold you tonight
It hurts me inside now it's over
'Cause there is someone else
In your heart
It tears me apart, I can't take it

You're the only one that I want

You broke down the barricades I erected around my heart
I thought I was incapable of feeling anything
But now you have gone away and I'm crying all of the time
It seems so useless to throw away all we shared

You, you're all I really want
You're all I really need
I feel it in my heart

He, he's no good for you, boy
He'll never change inside
It's tearing me apart

Now you are gone I'm so alone
I realize how I miss you
Can't let it go, want you to know
How much it hurts here without you

They say there’s someone else that you love
He forced you to choose between us
I understand
He's part of your heart
But he'll never change and I love you

You're the only one that I want

You broke down the barricades I erected around my heart
I thought I was incapable of feeling anything
But now you have gone away and I'm crying all of the time
It seems so useless to throw away all we shared

You, you're all I really want
You're all I really need
I feel it in my heart

He, he's no good for you, boy
He'll never change inside
It's tearing me apart

You're the only one that I want

You broke down the barricades I erected around my heart
I thought I was incapable of feeling anything
But now you have gone away and I'm crying all of the time
It seems so useless to throw away all we shared

AZURE EYES

Summer night, glass of wine
Then I saw you arrive
Looking good, feeling fine
Now I'm glad I'm alive

Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true

Night out on the town
I go wherever you go - need you so
Feelings never known
Come to the surface when I hold you tight

Your beauty took me by surprise
Your sparkling eyes made me surrender

Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true

Walking through the park
Birds lead us into the dawn with a song
Magic all around
This mystic sunrise, so pure - now I'm sure

We are as one, beautiful friend
This will not end, this lasts forever

Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine…

Summer night, perfect sky
You and me in the moonshine
Each time you take me high
I am yours and you're all mine

Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true

Lying on the beach
You look so good with a tan - I'm your man
So much love inside
All my emotions break free - stay with me

I am so sure you'll never leave
And I believe this lasts forever

Azure eyes look at me and drive me wild
I admire everything that you say or do
My desire’s breaking free just like a fire
Every night you are mine
And my love for you is true

ENLIGHTEN ME

Please enlighten me baby

Tell me what you think, what is on your mind
Do you think that we could be together

I am tired of fighting
I'm fed up with the pain
I am sore from the crying
Am I going insane

Please enlighten me baby

Do you think that we could be together
Forever and ever

It is clear I still need you
It is clear I still care
I just can't live without you
It just isn't fair

How come that no one seems to understand
How come that no one seems to care
How come that no one seems to comprehend
How come that no one seems to care

Please enlighten me baby

Do you think that we could be together
Forever and ever

You always listened to the things I say
You always listened to my words
You always tried to help me find a way
You always saw how much it hurts

Please enlighten me baby

Do you think that we could be together

And you know that I love you
And you care about me
I can't stop thinking of you
Would you rather be free

Please enlighten me baby

Tell me what you think, what is on your mind
Do you think that we could be together
Forever and ever

SO INSECURE

Whenever I am confused and stressed
I walk in the fields to put my heart at rest
So peaceful, the gentle sound of birds
The purple heather
The freshness of the sea

Whenever I'm feeling sad and lost
I go to a place where I can find some rest
A graveyard, quiet between the trees
The silence thickens the air
And comforts me

Sometimes I need to be on my own
Just to find the balance in life again
For a while I just have to be alone
Longing for peace of mind

So insecure…

I'm trying to find a way
To say what I need to say
Give you my love but is it enough
I really don't know what to do

Whenever I lose my trust in you
I walk on the beach and hear the crying gulls
The comfort I find in nature's peace
The animals and the trees
Put me at ease

Sometimes I have to be all alone
Just to find the pleasure in life again
For a while I have to be on my own
Yearning for peace of mind

So insecure…

I'm trying to find a way
To say what I need to say
Give you my love but is it enough
I really don't know what to do

My love, where did we go wrong I wonder
My love, am I tearing you asunder
My love, I need you so
But it's so difficult to show

Sometimes I need to be on my own
Just to find the pleasure of life again
For a while I just have to be alone
Yearning for peace of mind

So insecure…

I'm trying to find a way
To say what I need to say
Give you my love but is it enough
I really don't know what to do

THE VOID

So tell me, what were your intentions some time ago
When you spent the night with me
And tell me, did it make you feel good
I need to know if it felt alright with me

I shied away again and again
When I couldn't cope with pain
I thought we'd be forever friends
Have my efforts been in vain

Desperately trying not to fall into the void
It seems our love has been destroyed
And, yes, I am definitely crying
Now the nightmare has come true
But, baby, I want to be with you

So tell me, what about the impact it had on us
We have played a dangerous game
I don't know how to make you happy
I realize things will never be the same

Does it occur to you, my friend
We were trapped inside a cage
For months I have expected the end
Will our love turn into rage

Because it's so hard to admit it might be wrong
Yet I must try
The love in me is burning still and burning strong
I can't deny

Desperately trying not to fall into the void
It seems our love has been destroyed
And, yes, I am definitely crying
Now the nightmare has come true
But, baby, I want to be with you

I don't want to live without you
How can I bear a life without you

So listen, I don't want to force you
But tell me if we can be together some day
I guess it's all a bit confusing
But if you do try and help me find a way

But even though I really care
I’m not sure if it’s enough
Yet I know there is something there
Is it everlasting love

Each night I cry - desperately trying not to fall
I can’t deny - baby, I expected you to call
Your smile so bright - definitely crying over you
It felt so right - baby, tell me, why do I feel blue

Because there’s something burning deep inside my heart
I can't deny
The insecurity is tearing me apart
Each night I cry

Desperately trying not to fall into the void
It seems our love has been destroyed
And, yes, I am definitely crying
Now the nightmare has come true
But, baby, I want to be with you

It's so hard to live without you
I can't bear a life without you
See me fall into the void
I've been destroyed
So hard to live without you, my love

REQUIEM FOR MELISSA
