Today,could have gone better
Is it normal to feel so unsure?
But I will try,try again tomorrow
Even though I know,your slowly closing the door

Underneath, there’s still a person
Who needs my love and care
To bring a smile,a happy memory
Even though they may not know I’m there

When the light begins to fade
Hold my hand, and I will show you the way
Like you used too, when I was young
It’s heartbreaking to see,but your still my mum
And I’m your son

Sometimes I wonder
How you find these memories
Like balloons
Floating in your mind
Do you grab one in the sky
And catch them before they die

Instrumental

When the light begins to fade
Hold my hand and I will show you the way
Like you used to when i was young
It’s heartbreaking to see but your still my mum
And I’m your son

We
found each other
We shared the same dreams
We’d see the world together

Now I’m
Lost and alone here
Holding onto the past
Still with questions to ask

What if
I’d said a million times that I love you
Not kept my emotions at bay
Baby would you have stayed ?

What if
I’d said I couldn’t live here without you
That your the light in the dark
Would we still be apart?

Words
Said in the heat of the moment
Things we can’t retract
Can we ever go back?

I
Should have begged you to stay
Fought harder for our love
Not watch it just ebb away

What if.?
I said a million times that I love you
Not kept my emotions at bay
Baby would you have stayed ?

What if ?
I said I couldn’t live here without you
That your the light in the dark
Would we still be apart?

Instrumental bridge

Repeat chorus

End

I wake up in the morning
But your not there
The scent on your pillow is fading
Although I keep near
The sunlight streams through the window
To where it used to catch your hair
But your not there

I go downstairs to the front door
There’s no mail for you today
I wish I could write you a letter
Put into words what I couldn’t say
How much I miss your laughter
And all the things we used to share
But your not there

When you lose someone you love
You get through each day
One at a time
But it’s tough

When you lose someone you love
You get through each day
One at a time
But it’s tough

What you keep in your heart
You’ll never lose
Like a river running through your veins
She’s part of you

And healing doesn’t mean forgetting
Your just learning to get through
You know she’ll always be a part
Of everything you do

When you lose someone you love
When you lose someone you love
When you lose someone you love

Ring out the old ring in the new
No one could count my love for you
We remember friends no longer here
And think on them throughout the year

Ring out the old ring in the new
Good health and hope and love to you
We laugh we dance we drink and sing
With bleary eyes see the new year in

Instrumental

Ring out the old ring in the new
Fill your glass and my one too
Follow your dreams I wish you well
What the future holds no one can tell

I saw a man and a woman on TV
They were selling peace to you and me
They were both there sitting in a bed
And this what I heard them say

One World One People
A dream together
One World One People
Can make it better

One World One people
A dream together
One World One people
Can make it better

We can go round and around like before
And these troubles will just ignore
Like a self fulfilling prophecy
But theirs hope
Share this dream with me

Of One world One people
A dream together
One World One people
Can make it better

One world One people
A dream together
One world One People
Can make it better

To be completed …………

I’m back again from hell
With horrifying tales to tell
The place was rotten with dead
I had rats upon my head

I am shaken to the core
But the horror that is war
I’ve been crawling in the mud
Pass limbs in rivers of blood

Yes I’m back again from hell
I’m back again from hell

They tried to silence me
About the slaughter I have seen
I shall not be unsaid
About the thousands that are dead

Why do they prolong this war
Do they know what there fighting for
I’d like to see them in a trench
With the bodies and the stench

Yes I’m back again from hell
I’m back again from hell

Instrumental

When I hugged you
And waved you goodbye
I didn’t know it was the last time
You’d be by my side

We used to run together
Now I run alone
I remember what you said
And go a little further
Before heading for home

I run through the fields
I run through the pain
I run with you beside me
In the sunshine and the rain

Sometimes I run to feel something
Sometimes I run to feel nothing
But I know you’d be cheering me on
When my next race comes along

You were brave
You were strong
And you fought to the end

You were down to earth
You made me laugh
You were my friend

I know you’d been through a lot
Some of those wounds we couldn’t see
You find it difficult asking for help
But you were always worthy

I run through the fields
I run through the pain
I run with you beside me
In the sunshine and the rain

Sometimes I run to feel something
Sometimes I run to feel nothing
But I know you’d be cheering me on
When my next race comes along

Sail away with me on the evening tide
Forget all your troubles
Leave them behind

Sail away with me
we can have a good time
Beneath the stars we will follow
And the sun that will shine

There’s a whole wide world
Waiting to be explored
We can swim in those clear blue seas
Stroll on those golden shores

Sail away with me on the evening tide
Forget all your troubles
Leave them behind

Sail away with me
We can have a good time
Beneath the stars we will follow
And the sun that will shine

We are two halves
But together as one
Come away with me and share this dream
I’ll be leaving with the setting sun

Sail away with me
on the evening tide
Forget all your troubles
leave them behind

Sail away with me
We can have a good time
Beneath the stars we will follow
And the sun that will shine

Beneath the stars we will follow
And the sun that will shine
