Your Wildest Dreams
(Justin Hayward)
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
Think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams

Talkin' Talkin'
(Justin Hayward and John Lodge)
Talking, talking
It doesn't really matter
If you know my name
It doesn't really matter
If you see things the same
As I do
It doesn't even matter
If I'm tied and tense
It doesn't even matter
If I'm still making sense
Over you
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos I'm only talking, talking
Talking, talking

It doesn't matter
What the people
All around you say
Be careful how
You listen
They don't know you
The way that I do
And if you wanna
Talk about it baby
That's alright
It's better if I say it
Than to sit down
And write it to you
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos I'm only talking, talking

It can be that
You're here with me
When I'm standing out
On my own
The words of love
That you gage
When we were alone
It doesn't matter
If you want to
Rock and roll all night
I know you're  gonna
Be there when the
Feeling is right
The feeling is right
The feeling is right
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
I'm just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
You know I'm just
Talking, talking, talking, talking

Rock 'N' Roll Over You
(John Lodge)
Like a rock
I'm gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I'm gonna roll over you

Not gonna lose my nerve
Not gonna fall apart
Not gonna turn the tide
Not gonna start from the top
Not gonna lose control
Not gonna turn around
Not gonna break my step
Not gonna till I take you to the top
Cause there's something baby
that I want you to know
What price love
If there's nothing to show

Like a rock
I'm gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I'm gonna roll over you

No need to close the door
No need to lose your way
No need to stand alone
Just try to understand what I'm saying
Cos I'm gonna hold on
Not gonna turn you loose
Not gonna bring you down
Not gonna let you go
I only want to take you to the top
'Cause if I don't have you
Then I want you to know
What price love
If we've nothing to show

Like a rock
I'm gonna roll over you
Like a rock
I'm gonna roll over you
Rock 'n' Roll over you

I Just Don't Care
(Justin Hayward)
The indestructible has broken down
The undeniable is turned around
And I don't care my love
I just don't care
I love you

The unbelievable has all come true
I love the changes that you've put me through
And I don't care you see
I just don't care
I love you

I see the magic
That we're making now
And a veil is lifted
From my eyes somehow
And the most amazing thing
That comes to light
Is the world looks different
To me overnight

My friends will tell you
That I've lost my cool
The lovesick schoolboy
Turning up for school
But I don't care you know
I just don't care
I love you

I see the magic
That we're making now
And a veil is lifted
From my eyes somehow
And the most amazing thing
That comes to light
Is the world looks different
To me overnight

My friends will tell you
That I've lost my cool
The lovesick schoolboy
Turning up for school
But I don't care you know
I just don't care
I love you
Cos I don't care you see
I just don't care
I love you, I, love you

Running Out Of Love
(Justin Hayward and John Lodge)
Some days you're gonna put me on hold
Some days you're gonna put me
On a pedestal up high
I don't know if it's me
I don't know if it's you
I don't know if it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love

And when it comes to taking my calls
There's something more between us
Than a telephone line
I can't believe it's me
I can't believe it's you
I can't believe it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love

Can't think of how we lost our way
Some days I feel
I'm getting very close to you
Can't think of how the story ends
Can't hear the words
I really want to hear from you
We're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love

Some people like to put you on hold
Some people like to put you
On a pedestal up high
I don't know if it's me
I don't know if it's you
I don't know if it's both of us
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Not knowing what to do
When we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love
Can't believe we're running out of love

The Other Side Of Life
(Justin Hayward)
The Atmosphere
On the streets tonight
Is the driving beat
Of the world
The word down here
On the streets tonight
Is the truest music
You've heard
So take your share
Of the gifts that are there
They all belong to you
And come what may
At the break of each day
We all begin anew once more
We all begin anew

Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate
The other side of life tonight
The lovers and the fighters
And the risks they take
Are on the other side of life tonight
Let's loose our way
Go completely astray
And find ourselves again
You know the only way to get there
Is to take that step
To the other side of life tonight

The atmosphere
On the streets tonight
Is the driving beat
Of the world
The word down here
On the streets tonight
Is the truest music
You've heard
So take your share
Of the gifts that are there
They all belong to you
And come what may
At the break of each day
We all begin anew once more
We all begin anew

Baby, baby, baby, let's investigate
The other side of life tonight
The lovers and the fighters
And the risks they take
Are on the other side of life tonight
Let's loose our way
Go completely astray
And find ourselves again
You know the only way to get there
Is to take that step
To the other side of life tonight

The Spirit
(Graeme Edge and Patrick Moraz)
The sun and moon every day
Day and night mark my play
See the future in the past
Try to change or make it last
Go for broke don't regret
Get your hands dirty get you feet wet
Take your place use me well
I'm in your hands so make me tell
A broken dream seems unkind
But I can help for I am time

I can heal you
It's not a matter of slight
Only of sound
Let me... feel for you
Feel for yourself
The love all around
I can... lead you
Is you soul afraid
Of what you've made
Do you know the way
the spirit goes

All around on the wind
Distant whispers of what I bring
In the day in the night
Locked in the words of lovers delight
If I'm lost or mislaid
Just keep looking don't be afraid
In the eye on the mind
I'm everything and yours to find
I'm not far just discover
I'm in you for I am love

I can heal you
It's not a matter of slight
Only of sound
Let me... feel for you
Feel for yourself
The love all around
I can... lead you
Is you soul afraid
Of what you've made
Do you know the way
the spirit goes

Slings And Arrows
(Justin Hayward and John Lodge)
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try
Never thought you would walk away
From my side
I just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows

Life is ever changing
Nothing stays the same
Nothing in this whole wide world
Can turn us back again
Cos where we're standing now
Is the point of no return
Looking back on a world
that's got to learn
You just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows

Love is the shield
When you're standing
With your back to the wall
And if you turn around
And walk away
You're never gonna lose
Cos love conquers all

No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try
Never thought you would walk away
From my side
I just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows

It May Be A Fire
(John Lodge)
It may be a fire
Tomorrow it could be nothing
It may reach out to the sky
Light up everything that you know
Everywhere you go from now
You will see better than before
People you've not known for years
Will come knocking at your door
It may be a fire
But you gotta get it into your heart

It may be a warm wind
That tries to blow your heart away
It may walk into your life
Tell you everything that you know
Looking down through all the years
Making plans that have gone passed
Something you've not known for years
But you knew that it would last
It may be a fire
But you gotta get it into your heart

I'm turning all the answers
Inside out
Looking for a love
That reaches out
Or the fire into your heart

It may be a fire
Tomorrow it may be nothing
It may reach up to the sky
Light up everything that I know
Everywhere I go from now
I will see better than before

People I've known for years
Will come knocking at my door
It may be a fire
But you gotta get it into your heart
It may be a fire
But you gotta get it
You gotta get it
You gotta get it into your heart
It may be a fire
But you gotta get it
Into your heart
