chris de burgh - lady in red

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And I've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away
And I have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
I love you

chris de burgh - so beautiful

I'm lying here tonight, thinking of the days we've had.
Wondering if the world would be So Beautiful,
If I had not looked into your eyes.
How did you know that I've been waiting?
Never knew the world would be So Beautiful at all..

I'm spending all the days,
dreaming of the nights we've had,
I never knew that love would be a miracle, when I think of
all the ones before,
But now that I've found you I am flying,
I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me I never
knew that love would be so beautiful to me

And then we danced to the rhythm,
that is burning like a flame,
and when you touch me I can hardly move, you take my breath
away

You give me all that I want to feel
when we become as one
and then you take me to the heaven of your heart Did nobody
ever tell you,
you're the best thing that has ever been?

Ahh ahhh aahhh - you are ...So Beautiful Ahh Ahhh Ahhhh - so
beautiful,

I'm standing here tonight, thinking of the times we'll have,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful,
from the day you came into my life.
I just want to say, you make me happy,
never knew that you would be so beautiful to me,

I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me.

So ...beautiful to me
So ...beautiful to me
So ...beautiful to me
to me.......

I'm lying here tonight.....

I'm dreaming here tonight
I Dance with you tonight...

chris de burgh - flying english

Flying, I thought I'd never learn that flying
I thought I'd spend my whole life trying,
For flying is that ancient art of keeping one foot on the ground...

Lying, I thought I'd never keep from lying,
I thought I'd lose it all by sighing,
For lying is that ancient art of hiding words that will never be found

Crying, I thought I'd never stop that crying,
I thought I'd always dream of dying
For crying is that ancient art of weeping rivers into the ground

Oh dying, I thought I'd never see that dying,
I thought I'd spend my whole life flying,
For dying is that ancient art of keeping one world turning round

Sighing, I thought I'd never keep from sighing
I thought I'd always be there crying,
For sighing is that ancient art of breathing sadness all around

And trying, I thought I'd spend my seasons trying,
I thought I could stop myself from lying,
For trying is that ancient art of proving that the world is round

Oh flying, oh oh, Lying, oh oh, crying, oh oh, sighing, oh oh,
Trying, oh oh, and dying, oh oh,
For dying is that ancient art of growing flowers in the ground,
Yes it is...

chris de burgh - carry me

There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carre me like a fire in your heart;

There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory
And begin to make the shadows disappear;

Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.

chris de burgh - broken wings

These broken wings can take me no further,
I'm lost, and out at sea,
I thought these wings would hold me forever,
And on to eternity,
And far away I can hear your voice,
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
But these broken wings have let me down,
They can't even carry me home.

In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping,
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises,
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you're far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.

Or will you treat me like some traveller,
On a dark and lonely road,
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
Oh and just when she reaches the part,
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart,
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on,

Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong,
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
Come back and carry me home.

chris de burgh - the risen lord

Brother can you spare me food
And give me a drink of wine,
I've been travelling on this road,
For such a long long time,
I have seen the wonders,
But most amazing of them all,
I believe I've seen the face
Of the Risen Lord;

On a night like this there came
A stranger on the road,
I saw him stumble, heard him fall,
I helped him with his load,
The further that we walked,
Well the heaver it became,
And I believe I've felt the weight
From another world...

chris de burgh - love is my decision

And when they tell you that you're crazy
You got to try to settle down
You got to turn yourself around
Live is more than just good times and parties

You've got the moon in New York city
You've got the whole world in your hands
Too many cards from Disney Land
Sayin' that I'll be sorry, come one day

But if, I ever had to choose
Love is my decision
With you I just can't lose
You stay here by my side
Love is my decision
Forever you and I

I'll tell you this
If you should ever go away
I know, that I could never live a single day without you

You are the one that lights my world up
The one that money just can't buy
And now I promise I will try
Maybe even a family, together

But if, I ever had to choose
Love is my decision
With you I just can't lose
You stay here by my side
Love is my decision
Forever you and I
If I ever had to choose
If I ever had to choose

chris de burgh - satin green shutters

Where your love is, put your heart, guard these moments well,
Where your dreams are, put your hopes, you know they will not fail you,
When the sun rises in the morning, you will wake up and find her yawning,
When the wind blows strong and cold, she'll be with you until you grow old,
Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do
if your dreams came true?

I would build a lovely house with satin green shutters, it would be lovely
The most lovely house in the world...
And I would sing a lovely song with you in my mind, and you in my eyes,
The most lovely song in the world...
I would write it down on the wall, just for you, just for you;
And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days.

When you're sad and feeling low, you're on your own with nowhere to go,
Make believe that she is gone, play your guitar and write a song for her,
Write down the words about how you cried when you woke up weeping,
'Cos you thought that she had died, and you heard her breathing,
Through your pain and you held her close and cried all over again;
Where your love is, put your heart, oh what would you do
if your dreams came true?

And inside my lovely house with satin green shutters, there would
be children,
The most lovely children in the world...
And even when skies are grey, we would be happy, for we have love,
The most lovely love in the world;
I would write it down on the wind, just for you, just for you;
And I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days.

chris de burgh - flying home

We're sitting out here on the runway,
Waiting for the plane to leave,
And the Captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
Bear with me please,"

They gave us the usual hassle,
"You can't take those guitars on board,"
But the boys in the band just smiled,
Heard it all before,

And as they're starting to serve Champagne
To the folks at the front of the plane,
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,

And we are flying home,
I feel the freedom in my soul,
Flying home at last;
Flying home,
I've got the freedom in my soul,
And it's four in the morning,
My world is calling,
Speeding through the universe tonight...

The movie reminds of my lady,
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,

And now the sun is beginning to rise,
It's like looking down on Paradise,
There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,

And we are flying home,
I feel the freedom in my soul,
Flying home at last;
Flying home,
I've got the freedom in my soul,
And it's four in the morning,
My world is calling,
Speeding through the universe tonight...

chris de burgh - always on my mind

Maybe I didn't love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as often as I could have,
Litte things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time;

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely nights,
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine,
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind,

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind,

You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

chris de burgh - in love forever

There's an angel crying up in Heaven tonight,
And I've got the Devil in my heart,
Because I keep saying things that I don't mean,
And it's tearing us apart;

There's a wild wind blowing in the desert tonight,
Oh how I long to feel the rain,
And let it wash away these lonely tears,
And bring us back again,
'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever;

There's a stranger waiting deep in every heart,
To say the crazy things we say,
But I promise you he won't be back,
To steal your dreams away;

So come up close and put your sweet hand in mine,
I'm going to hold you all night long,
And if you wake up I will be here,
To tell you that I love you;

'Cos it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever;

Yes, it's a different world when I look into your eyes,
You're the nearest thing that I have seen to Paradise,
And I know with you I will be in love forever,
Yes I know with you I will be in love forever,
In love forever.

chris de burgh - shadows and lights

If you're out on a Saturday night, head downtown to the city lights,
They've got everything you're looking for, who knows what's behind
that door,
"D'ya wanna go where the wild men go?"
"D'ya wanna come and see a dirty movie show?"
"D'ya wanna do what the wild men do?"
Well everything's right here in the

Shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
Oh yes it is truly amazing...

Take a walk down to old Soho, Chinese restaurant that I know,
(Lee Ho Fung)
Couple of ladies are hanging outside, down in the alley looking for a
ride,
"Little boy d'ya wanna come upstairs?
You'll never get a better offer anywhere young man,
Do you wanna do what the lovers do,"
Well everything's right here in the

Shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, it's a double delight,
Oh what can you do to amaze me?

Ooh the shadows and lights on a Saturday night,
If you're feeling a little bit crazy,
In the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night,
Oh yes, it is really amazing...

chris de burgh - all the love i have inside

When I wake up in the morning, she is there
With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair
When I hold her close beside me, well it feels so good
That I'd like to stay here all day long
If there's a way that I could

And when we go downstairs and start off onto the day
Just one more cup of coffee and I'm on my way
We may not have perfection, but we're half way there
And I know it's sentimental, but I just wanted to say

That all the love I have inside me, is for you
All the love I have inside me, is for you
All the love I have inside me, is for you

And when I've had a heavy day and I'm going home
She gives me time if she sees I want to be alone
Ah but when the evening's over and we go to bed
Here comes that same old feeling, it's like a song in my head

Well all the love I have inside me, is for you
All the love I have inside me, is for you
All the love I have inside me, is for you

Here's my love song to you, you....

chris de burgh - what about me

I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames,
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say,

What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
Well what about us?

chris de burgh - hold on

Somewhere,
A lonely girl lies weeping.
A lonely man tries sleeping,
But he's getting nowhere.

Sometime,
It may be close to morning.
She thought she heard him calling,
But there's nobody there.

And somehow, somehow,
He knows he's got to try

To hold on.
Somewhere she's crying for him.
Hold on.
Someday her smile will call him.
Hold on.
There's someone out there trying for him.
Somehow,
Sometime,
Somewhere.

Somewhere,
Again she sleeps alone.
He is reaching for the phone
But he's calling no one.

Oh Sometime,
She's dreaming of her lover.
It really can't be over
We've only just begun.

And somehow, somehow,
I know I've go to try

To hold on.
Somewhere she's crying for me.
Hold on.
Someday her smile will call me.
Hold on.
There's someone out there trying for me.
Somehow,
Sometime,
Somewhere.

Hold on.
Hold on.

Somehow,
Sometime,
Somewhere.
