ONE MORE NIGHT (PHIL COLLINS)
Iīve been trying oh so long, to let you know...how I feel
So if I stumble and if I fall, just help me back,
so I can make you see...
Please give me one more night, give me that one more night...
...īcos I canīt wait forever...
...Iīve been sitting here so long, just wasting time,
just staring at the phone and I was wondering, should I call you,
then I thought, maybe youīre not alone...
...Like a river to the sea, I will always be with you
And if you said a word, I would follow you...
To give me one more night...
...I know thereīll never be a time youīll ever feel the same
And I know itīs only words but if you change your mind,
you know that Iīll be here and maybe we both can learn...

TWO HEARTS (PHIL COLLINS)
Well there was no reason to believe sheīd always be there
But if you donīt put faith in what youīre believinī,
itīs getting nowhere and it teaches you to never give up,
donīt look down, just look up īCos sheīs always there behind you,
just to remind you...
Two hearts believing in just one mind, you know it...
...Well there was no easy way to, to understand it
īCos thereīs so much of my love in her, as Iīve got plenty...
...let go, thereīs so much love youīll never know
īCos she can reach you, no matter how far, wherever you are...
...Beating together till the end of time...
...Together forever till the end of time
Well she knows, thereīll always be a special place in my heart
for her, she knows...
...Yeah she knows, no matter how far apart we go, she knows
Iīm always right there beside her...
With two hearts believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know it, two hearts, but believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time...

BOTH SIDES (PHIL COLLINS)
Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town
where death waits in the darkness
with a weapon to cut some stranger down
sleeping with an empty bottle,
heīs a sad and an empty hearted man
all he needs is a job, and a little respect,
so he can get out while he can
We always need to hear both sides of the story
A neighbourhood peace is shattered itīs the middle of the night
young faces hide in the shadows,
while they watch their mother and father fight
he says sheīs been unfaithful,
she says her love for him has gone
and the brother shrugs to his sister,
and says "looks like itīs just us from now on"...
...And the lights are all on, the world is watching now
people looking for truth, we must not fail them now
be sure, before we close our eyes
donīt walk away from here ītil you hear both sides
Here we are all gathered in what seems to be
the centre of the storm
neighbours once friendly now stand each side
of the line that has been drawn
theyīve been fighting here for years,
but now thereīs killing on the streets
while small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat...
...ītil you see both sides
White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world
ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall
he says "would you respect me if I didnīt have this gun?
īcos without it, I donīt get it, and thatīs why I carry one"...

EVERYDAY (PHIL COLLINS)
I got lost, couldnīt find my way
and I guess thereīs nothing more to say
love can make you blind, make you act so strange
but Iīm here and here I will stay
So everyday I cry, yes everyday I fall
do you ever wonder why, why I love everything about you
But everyday I say Iīll try to make my heart be still
ītil then every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep we will
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
Iīve got no way to explain still I love you...
...but this fire inside will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by, and everyday I fall
it makes me wonder why, my lifeīs worth nothing without you...
...Youīll never know, no, no, no...
...just how close we were...
...no youīll never know, no youīll never see
The book closes and we try to forget
but I know that things wonīt change
how we feel, how life goes on and that seems so strange
And so the light fades away...try as I may
I canīt stop thinking about you it seems...
...Everyday you know I try so hard...
...it gets a little harder...

IīVE FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING (PHIL COLLINS)
Iīve forgotten everything about you
ītil someone says your name
Iīve forgotten all the reasons I loved you
ītil someone tells me that you rang
The memories are hazy now I donīt recall at all
thereīs nothing... there, just me and I donīt understand why
I canīt recollect my feelings
ītil someone mentions that they saw you
I really donīt remember all the things you said
ītil someone shows me where you live
Why is everything so hazy now...
...I canīt recall your smile, the touch of your hand holding mine
and I canīt remember why holding you seemed so right...

PLEASE COME OUT TONIGHT (PHIL COLLINS)
Please come out tonight I need you here
its been a long, long time and I canīt wait
letīs find out, letīs see what itīs like out there
if it rains weīll find somewhere, somewhere dry and warm
Youīll say "my, itīs been a long, long time"
Iīll say "how are you? Iīve been fine"...
...letīs go out and see the world
we can try to find, find somewhere
it seems so long ago, I can hardly remember the time
itīs all I want...so letīs see what we find
Youīll say "thereīs so much you need to know"
Iīll say "are you really sure you have to go?"
We donīt need a reason, no explanations
just stay with me here, tonight
I wonīt say a word, I just need you here...
...letīs go out and find ourselves
you can lean your head on my shoulder, remember?
Youīll say "My, is that the time?"
Iīll say "why not stay with me tonight?"...
...itīs so warm inside, thereīs no one between us
if someone comes we can hide, just lay here beside me
just see what itīs like...

CANīT FIND MY WAY (PHIL COLLINS)
Iīve been doing some thinking, here on my own
itīs been on my mind this debt I owe to you
I have to repay in kind
But I canīt find my way...
Tired and weary, I follow the path that leads to your door
but it occurred to me, all that I have is already yours...
...Oh, just to sit awhile, oh, just to sit and watch you smile...
...Keep the faith you say to keep the faith I pray
be strong you say just follow the light
Wheels keep turning but the closer I get the farther I seem
peace will only come finding the peace within...

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE (PHIL COLLINS)
She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me? Itīs cold and Iīve nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesnīt look back, he pretends he canīt hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice, itīs another day for you and me in paradise...
...He can see sheīs been crying
Sheīs got blisters on the soles of her feet
Canīt walk but sheīs trying...
...Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that sheīs been there
Probably been moved on from every place
īcos she didnīt fit in there...

THEREīS A PLACE FOR US (PHIL COLLINS)
So here we are together just you and me
sitting side by side donīt know why
with time just racing by but I donīt want to go
Well I donīt know much about it
īcos all I am is what you see in front of you
thereīs no more, feels so close and yet so far...
...Here I am, take my hand...please take my hand
Iīd like to sit here with you if thatīs all right
if you donīt mind I could sit and stare all night
sit here waiting for you to hold me tight
Itīs sad but I know itīs true, you see I know you well
youīd only laugh at me and that would hurt me so
just look at me here, youīve got me pleading with you...
...īCos you know that I love you so...
...Here, I will be here love, for you love,
I will always be here love
If you look real close youīll see my heart is on my sleeve
and itīll be here waiting, waiting for you, waiting for me
someone once said that if you truly, truly believe
you can make things happen, make things appear to be
all that they seem, tell me do you believe?
Weīll find a hideaway, together weīll find a way
somewhere, somehow, weīll find some way
there must be somewhere, there must be someplace
we can find somewhere where they donīt know my face
believe me we can find it...
somewhere, thereīs a place for us...a time and...

AGAINST ALL ODDS -TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW- (PHIL COLLINS)
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without
a trace when I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
Youīre the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
īCos weīve shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears...
...So take a look at me now, īcos thereīs just an empty space
And thereīs nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face...
...And you coming back to me is against all odds
and thatīs what Iīve got to face...
I wish I could just make you turn around...and see me cry
Thereīs so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why...
...But to wait for you, well thatīs all I can do...
...Take a good look at me now, īcos Iīll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Thatīs the chance Iīve got to take, oh, oh...

WE FLY SO CLOSE (PHIL COLLINS)
My harbour lights are fading fast soon theyīll disappear
alone I sit in darkness hoping someone might come near
though I wait, though I try, no one ever comes
and the feelings that I have flood over me
the river starts to run
We fly so close...sometimes we fly too close
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
there are places that you know you should not go
but some bridges just wonīt burn
all my life, though I try, I cannot change the past
and the ghosts that come back to haunt you
make you realise that...
...My heart is racing much faster now
life passes before my eyes
somethingīs I see, they make me smile
somethingīs they make me cry
so I look, so I try to find a lesson I can learn
the passing of time hasnīt changed my mind
and the ghosts I know return...
...We fly so close, you and I sometimes...
...weīll never know how many times we fly so close...
