Feel the cold on my skin Feel emotion within I feel winter on my face I feel the grace A summer song It’s a time of longing For a feeling of belonging I don’t know where I am I don’t give a damn Sing a summer song Winters nearly passed and draws to a close I can’t wait for the sand between my toes A new start as I start to drive And I feel so alive A new beginning so I’ll survive A different life A summer song Winters nearly passed and draws to a close I can’t wait for the sand between my toes The sea will break on the shore Leaving me wanting more Looking at the stars in the sky I sense my feelings rise Sunsetting in the evening skies Time flies, a summer song So I’ll sing a summer song A summer song for you and me

Finding love has never been easy As much as I try It always eludes me But this feels like it’s something special Could this be something magical Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love The way you look at me Sets my lonely heart on fire I’ve been alone so long And now you’re all I desire Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love Now you taking my breath away I can live and love another day I hate it when we’re apart So please don’t go breaking my heart Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love Now we’ve come together Could this last forever I’ll love you come whatever Oh, my love

Look into my heart The best place for us to start Look Into my eyes See the truth behind the lies I wanna live Live real imitation lives I wanna have Have fake emotional ties Look toward tomorrow And let me ease your sorrow Look into my soul And let’s make two halves a whole I wanna breathe Breathe the same air as you I wanna share Share both good and bad with you You’re like an angel in a storm A tangled mess in perfect form You make me laugh you make me cry With a love that soars so high in the sky I wanna live Live real imitation lives I wanna have Have fake emotional ties I wanna breathe Breathe the same air as you I wanna share Share both good and bad with you

I want to say that I love you But I’m not sure what to do If I say those words, will you run away? And I’m scared of what you might say And the passion in your kiss Has made me question this Am I really in love...with you Am I in love with you? Am I really in love with you? So I ask you what’s the deal. Is it love or lust that you feel? What I feel is new to me I want to be sure can’t you see? And the only way I’ll ever know Is if I should leave or you should go But you’re the best thing to happen to me Is it love that I really feel? Am I really in love You’ve put the smile back on my face And brought me to a better place You’ve brought happiness back to me And a new sense of dignity And the passion in your kiss Has made me realise this I’m really in love...with you I’m really in love with you Yes I’m really in love with you

I find myself saying the things you used to say I see your smile in mine Saying everything will be okay As the years roll on I still can’t believe that you are gone You left us far too soon Just when we needed you When I was young, I just couldn’t see Who you were trying for me to be I was living like carefree child And too much time running wild We didn’t always see eye to eye But my love for you will never die You brought so much joy and fun All those times in the summer sun And when all is said and done I'm proud to say I am your son Where has the time gone? I’ve shed many a tear Where has the time gone? I wish you were still here Where has the time gone? I’ve shed many a tear Where has the time gone? I wish you were still here

Our Love 04:00
It’s 5 in the morning, It’s an early start, Barely awake, it’s cold and it’s dark. I can’t kiss you or say goodbye, Feel I’m working til the day I die. And our love will always shine Our love is so divine You’ve stood behind my every single step, We’re treading water to keep outta debt. Raising a family just the best we can, Teaching them love and how to understand. And our love will always shine Our love is so divine I can’t feel without you I can’t love without you Now I see a future not only for me, It’s based on our positivity. Better for you and all our family, All the things that we know we can be. And our love will always shine Our love is so divine And our lives will always shine Our love is so divine

We have different lives meeting time to time Are we just good friends or do I cross that line? And now people are starting to talk about us Untrue stories of a forbidden lust But if only the whispers were true Then I could be with you If only the rumours were right Then we could be together tonight There are too many reasons for us to be apart But none of them stop this aching in my heart I’m filled with emotions that just don’t belong And I’m torn with guilty feelings oh so wrong If only the whispers were true Then I could be with you If only the rumours were right We could be together tonight I’m not sure how you feel I’m not sure I want to know A forbidden love That has no place to go I’m promised to another who I don’t want to hurt But it’s hard not to respond to the way you flirt A gentle touch an uncertain glance And I dream of us together in a moonlit dance

As I drop my head and gaze at my feet A cigarette packet floats down the street Just a futile thought drifting through my head And I can't believe our love is dead I look to the skies and see the black and the red And I think of all the stupid things that I said And I think of the time when you said goodbye But I can't remember you telling me why Why don't you come on back to me I need you here by me Why don't you come on back to me Coz I love you can't you see Do you remember those romantic times When I treated you to some roses and wine We laughed and loved the whole night long And now you're telling me that the love is gone You told me that our love was a farce And I was just a kid in an adults mask And you said that I spent my life in a dream And things ain't as bad as bad as they seem Why don't you come on back to me I need you here by me Why don't you come on back to me Coz I love you can't you see Why don't you come on back to me I need you here by me Why don't you come on back to me Coz I love you can't you see

Blue Day 04:50
The party’s over and I’m on my way home I smile because at last I’m finally alone My smile disappears but the thought still remains Betrayal in love, it’s always the same I can’t shake these blues I can’t shake these blues Alone in the night I stare at the moon Thinking I better be on my way very soon The light of the stars shine in my eyes As I loose myself in the midnight skies I can’t shake these blues I can’t shake these blues The smiles the miles and the endless trials Floating away into this blue day The sighs the cries and petty lies Sinking further into this blue day I laugh to myself at the thought of a joke I reach for my cigarettes and light up a smoke I button my coat to shield from the cold I close my eyes its time my story was told I can’t shake these blues I can’t shake these blues The smiles the miles and the endless trials Floating away into this blue day The sighs the cries and petty lies Sinking further into this blue day The smiles the miles and the endless trials Floating away into this blue day The sighs the cries and petty lies Sinking further into this blue day

Sammy woke with a smile each day And a million dreams lighting her way But it all went wrong as New York burned Her man left her a woman spurned So all the things she held to be true Vanished in the haze of what she once knew And now she’s rewriting history Trying to make it what it used to be Sammy’s reading between the lines Sammy’s misreading all the signs Sammy believes she’s found another lover Sammy’s in love with a man who doesn’t love her Sammy believes she’s found another lover Sammy’s in love with a man who doesn’t love her And that man is me And now Sammy won’t leave me alone She keeps calling me on the telephone Sammy say’s I’ve led her on But she can’t see right from wrong She cherry picks things that were said Sammy’s just a car crash in her own head She’s buried reality in a dream Now things aren’t what they seem Now Sammy is broken beyond repair She’s seeing things that just aren’t there Where will all this madness end? Coz all I wanted was a friend

Sitting in the morning sun Watching the day go by A solitary bird flies across a cloudless sky The colours of the summer rise As the sun creeps up above My thoughts as always are with you And our wonderful love Coz I’m thinking about you Thinking about you, thinking about you I’m thinking about you Thinking about you all the time Sitting in the afternoon I’ve been here all day long I can’t remember feeling A love that was this strong So here I am all alone Staring into space The thought of you brings a smile To my expressionless face Coz I’m thinking about you Thinking about you, thinking about you I’m thinking about you Thinking about you all the time My feelings are so hard to hide Especially when you’re by my side The magic of your love does shine I just want you to be mine

Feel the warmth on my skin Feel the flow from within Feel the sunshine on my face I feel the grace A summer song It’s been a long time waiting Stuck inside I’ve been hating Cause I don’t know where it’s wrong So, I’ll sing a summer song Summers nearly here beaches bikini pose Lots of beers and sand between my toes Road trip and cotton candy Open road the past behind me A new beginning so say so long So, I’ll sing a summer song Summers nearly here beaches bikini pose Lots of beers and sand between my toes The sea breaks on the shore Leaving me wanting more Looking at the full moon I can see the high tides rise Sunsetting in the evening skies fire flies, and a summer song
