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

I’ve been a fool
I didn’t want to see
That things had changed
Between you and me

We never talk
Much anymore
When I come home
Silence at the door

No more hellos
No long goodbyes
No more loving looks
From those grey blue eyes

It seemed so right
It turned out so wrong
I didn’t read the signs
Until our love was gone

We used to talk
All about our dreams
Where are they now
Floating down the stream

No more hellos
No long goodbyes
No more loving looks
From those grey blue eyes

No more hellos
No long goodbyes
No more loving looks
From those grey blue eyes

I hear the church clock chiming
Over golden fields that sway in a summers breeze
Silvery clouds go rolling by
In a sapphire sky in between the emerald trees

And Mother Nature sings her song to me
As I ly by a spring in the country I am free

I hear the sound of clapping wings
As a pigeon flys across the shadowy lane
The woodpecker drums the pollard oak
The farmer watches the clouds for signs of rain

And Mother Nature sings her song to me
As i ly by a spring in the country
I am free

I stop at a gate look back down memory lane
I paint the scene I’m a boy once again
I drink from the spring as the noon clock strikes the hour
I feel the patter of rain the beginning of a shower

In the Cornfield they prepare to harvest the wheat
Ambling down the lane go bleating a flock of sheep

Paris in the Spring
Cherry blossom on the trees
Couples wandering by the Seine
Brings back memories

Memories of you
Walking hand in hand with me
Love was in the air
But that is history

Do you ever think of me?
I often think of you
Where did it all go wrong
I wish I only knew

Paris in the Spring
People-watching from cafes
A glass of wine in hand
Just soaking up the day

Memories of us
Sheltering from the rain
Listening to a band
Play that song again

Do you ever think of me?
I often think of you
Where did it all go wrong
I wish I only knew

Paris in the Spring
See the tulips in the park
I wish that you were here
The city sparkles in the dark

Was it something that I said?
Something I didn’t do
But I know down deep inside
I’m still in love with you

Make me Forget
How it feels to hold you
Make me Forget
Your beautiful smile
Cast a spell if you can
So I don’t dream about you
I’m still in love with you
I’m still in love with you

Make me forget
Your soft lips when I kissed you
Make me forget
The touch of your hand
And the way that you laughed
And everything about you
I’m still in love with you
I’m still in love with you

Instrumental

Make me forget
Those golden days in the sunshine
Make me forget
Those sunset walks on the beach
When we talked about our dreams
I’d thought we’d stay together

I’m still in love with you
I’m still in love with you

He’s writing a song
And it comes straight from the heart
Love can build bridges
Don’t let hate tear them apart

She’s painting a picture
In beautiful colours in harmony
They both share a vision
Of how this world could be

Dreaming
It’s a dream that can come true
If we believe in
A better world for me and you

They’re sending a message
And the message is loud and clear
It’s time to save the planet
Before we all disappear

I don’t have all the answers
But imagine how the world could be
If we all come together
Well that’s the dream for me

Dreaming
It’s a dream that can come true
If we believe in
A better world for me and you

Dreaming
It’s a dream that can come true
If we believe in
A better world for me and you
Me and you

Under the silvery light of a street lamp
I can hear a band begin to play
On the old cobbold streets of my home town
I can see the snow begin to lay

Yes I’m back in my home town
I see the tree standing in the square
Yes I’m back in my home town
Sweet Marie is waiting there

In the candlelit aisles of St Peters
I can hear the choir begin to sing
By the door there’s some old friends to greet us
In our coats and scarves we shuffle in

Yes I’m back in my home town
I see the tree standing in the square
Yes I’m back in my home town
Sweet Marie is waiting there

In the house I was born,by the fireside
I see the family gathered round the tree
I see the joy on their faces at Yuletide
I feel the joy Christmas brings to me

Yes I’m back in my home town
I see the tree standing in the square
Yes I’m back in my home town
Sweet Marie is waiting there.

Repeat chorus

Nurse Sabrina made sure no one was left behind
When the fire broke out she was first in the line
In and out of the building with patients she’d go
Everybody was saved on the 4th floor below

There’s a lot more that’s good than is bad in this world
While the bad news might sell
Let the good news be heard
There’s a lot more that’s good than is bad you will find
Make us laugh shows us love keeps the faith in mankind

Eighty nine year old Kerry she lives on her own
She made hundreds of masks from her Chicago home
She sent them to family and friends at the time
Now she jams to the Beatles and she’s feeling fine

There’s a lot more that’s good than is bad in this world
While the bad news might sell
Let the good news be heard
There’s a lot more that’s good than is bad you will find
Makes us laugh shows us love keeps the faith in mankind

A Good Samaritan stopped for a car that broke down
Inside was a bride in her white wedding gown
He got her to church with a minute to spare
Jacqui married Steve as Davey stood there

There’s a lot more that’s good than is bad in this world
While bad news might sell let the good news be heard
There’s a lot more that’s good than is bad you will find
Makes us laugh shows us love keeps our faith in mankind
