Lovers in Life - Lyrics

1. [Male vocal]

Waves of love roll in my mind

I see the ocean in your eyes

Where I float inside you hopelessly

This love is life, it sets me free

Our love is like the endless sea

Where we drift away eternally

Without this love I know my heart would break

I love you more with every breath that I take

Ch 1: So I say thank you girl for what you bring

For making me smile, for being all my dreams

I wanna thank you girl for being you

And being for me

2. [Female vocal]

I was the flower in the rain

You were the power to enflame

Yours is the touch that sets my spirit free

Your love is mine, you are the one

In my sky you are the sun

And we shine for eternity

Without this love I know my heart would break

I love you more with every breath that I take

Ch 2: So I thank you for everything for all I've got

For lifting me up to reach a higher love

For giving me life I know the meaning of

Thank you for being in love

Break: [dual vocal from here]

I feel the desperation

Heat of your body making love

As I hold it to mine

So let us melt inside

The white heat of a different life

And rise together as one

SOLO (8 bars)

Ch 3: So I wanna thank you love for all my dreams

For giving me strength, a reason to believe

For saving my life, for being all that I need

Thank you for the song that I can sing

Thank you for the warmth upon my skin

Thank you for the world that I'm living in

Thank you for everything, for all I have got

For lifting me up to reach a higher love

For giving me life I know the meaning of

Thank you for being in love

Thank you for everything, for what you bring

For making me smile, for being all my dreams

I wanna thank you girl for being you

And being for me

Thank you for everything I've got

For reaching out for a higher love

For being in love

1. I've been sitting here for so long

Taking all the pain

Tearing at my heart

How could a love that started so strong

Turn around

And break us apart

You won't believe me but I swear I tried

To stop the hurt that's building up inside

Now what you don't want to listen to

Is what I'm asking you, but

Ch: God only knows

How much I want you

Back again

But I can't walk the road

Where all the bridges are in flames

So it goes

Let me go - wave and softly

Set me free

(Set me free)

2. I don't want to make you lonely

Crying through the night

With nobody there

But you don't touch me any more

Than you touch the phone

Or your book or your cigarette

You won't believe me but I swear it's true

There wasn't anyone, nobody but you

But I've got to look into the mirror too

That's why I'm asking you, but

Ch: God only knows

How much I want you

Back again

But I can't walk the road

Where all the bridges are in flames

So it goes

Let me go - wave and softly

Set me free

(Set me free)

You won't believe me but I swear I tried

To stop the hurt that's building up inside

Now what you don't want to listen to

Is what I'm asking you, but

Ch

1. I've got a picture nobody can see

Nobody can see

A picture of you - a picture of me

But how long

Can the light of my life still glow

How long can this love stay alive

When life never shines on us - maybe

Nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Nobody, nobody, nobody knows

2. Help me take my picture outside of me

And hold it up to the sun

Show me I'm just a man

But just the one

Take hold of my hand

And write me your name in the sky

Take me home to where it began

Where the moment was mine

Where the sun always shines on us - don't say

Nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Take it out of me

Get me out of this place

Take it out of my mind

Walk in front as we

Cross the line between hate

And the love calling out

From a different time

Nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Nobody, nobody, nobody knows

1. Alone now

I reach to feel there's nobody there

I'm reaching for a long time ago

If I could live all those nights again

I could tell you what I know

Love has to walk before it flies

We should have talked

Instead of raging and waving goodbye

Ch: Oh no – you got me all wrong baby

I never wanted you to go

How long – how long must I wait

Until the pain breaks away from my soul

2. I see you

Holding someone I don't even know

I wish somebody'd hold me too

Does he call you lover

Like I called you lover

When my world wasn't broken in two

It's hard to want to live and breathe

Inside a lonely world

That nobody, nobody sees

Ch: Oh no – you got me all wrong baby

I never wanted you to go

How long – how long must I wait

Until the pain breaks away from my soul

Break: How long must I dream

What in the world could my life have been

As I stare at the walls

And hear all the words left unspoken

The sound of a broken heartbeat

Ch: Oh no – you got me all wrong baby

I never wanted you to go

How long – how long must I wait

Until the sun shines a light on my soul

Oh no - etc

1. A perfect love is mine

But I'm dying inside

It's not enough to close my eyes

And picture my lover in life

Cos I've got a picture of you

But dreams won't do

Now all of my dreams have come true

2. Please tiptoe on my heart tonight

Real slow - cos it might explode

And stop me shaking

When I feel your naked touch

As we get so close

And take me up to the place

Where it's just the two of us

And you say I'm beautiful

(And you're so beautiful)

Ch: You know I'm still so in love with you

Caught in the fantasy I'm floating through

When it gets hard, we can work it out

Cos you can be strong, girl

And I'll be strong

And I'll keep a hold on your heart

Still a million words to say

A million nights to come walking our way

Still a million songs to sing

A million moments to call our own

3. Please don't tiptoe on my heart tonight

Let me explode

Let me light up your life tonight

I wanna feel your naked touch

And whisper you're beautiful

You're so beautiful

Ch: You know I'm still so in love with you

Caught in the fantasy I'm floating through

When it gets hard, we can work it out

Cos you can be strong, girl

And I'll be strong

And I'll keep a hold on your heart

Ch.2 You know I love you cos you're so damn good

Cos you're my fantasy - it's understood

When it gets hard, I find out

What sets you apart

And we can be strong

And keep a hold of our heart

Sally took my last words into the night

Thought I saw emotion stopped in the half-light

Stopped in the half-light, Sally's there shining bright

I should've known you never hold hands with a jewel

She'll take you for a fool

As she marches another boy, fast toy

All around the pool that I'm crying into

Thought we were strangers in love

Perfect strangers

Trying to arrange for a love

To invade us

All around the world

People say the word

Falling for the girl

And coming out and saying it first

I could feel the moment slip out of my hands

People tell me Sally's started living in London now

I can feel my fingers touch the dial

Trying to touch that smile

And bring it back somehow

People say she cut a dash standing in the hall

Walking to the door on the arm of an American boy with a new toy

And a big American car

She was a stranger to love

Perfect stranger

Just re-arranging for love

To evade her

All around the world

People say their love is true

But I just found a girl

Who couldn't say it too

Just another nearly-made-it filed away

All around the world

People say the word

Falling for the girl

And coming out and saying it first

All around the world

People tell me Sally's damn good now

And in another world

I made it come true
