kindness in your eyes
I guess you heard me cry
you smiled at me like
Jesus to a child
I'm blessed I know
heaven sent and heaven stole
you smiled at me like
jesus to a child
and what have I learned
from all this pain
I thought I'd never feel the same
about anyone or anything again
but now I know

chorus
when you find a love
when you know that it exists
then the lover that you miss
will come to you on those cold,
cold nights
when you've been loved
when you know it holds such bliss
then the lover that you kissed
will comfort you when there's
no hope in sight

sadness in my eyes
no one guessed, well no one tryed
you smiled at me like
Jesus to a child
loveless and cold
with your last breath you saved my soul
you smiled at me like
Jesus to a child
and what have I learned
from all those tears
I've waited for you all those years
and just when it began
He took your love away
but I still say

chorus
so the words you could no say
I'll sing them for you
and the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
for every single memory
has become a part of me

you will always be...my love

well I've been loved
so I know just what love is
and the lover that I kissed
is always by my side
oh the lover I still miss...
was Jesus to a child
(George Michael)

looking for some education
made my way into the night
all that bullshit conversation
well baby can't you read the signs

I won't bore you with the details baby
I don't even want to waste your time
let's just say that maybe
you could help to ease my mind
baby, I ain't Mr. Right

chorus
but if you're looking for fastlove
if that's love in your eyes
it's more than enough
had some bad luck
so fastlove is all that I've got on my mind

what's there to think about baby?

looking for some affirmation
made my way into the night
my friends got their ladies
they're all having babies
but I just want to have some fun

I win't bore you with the details baby
gonna get there in your own sweet time
let's just say that maybe
you could help to ease my mind
baby, I ain't Mr. Right

chorus

what's there to think about baby?
get yourself some lessons in love

in the absence of security
I made my way into the night
stupid cupid keeps on calling me
but I see nothing in his eyes
I miss my baby
I miss my baby, tonight
so why don't we make a little room
in my BMW babe
searching for some peace of mind
I help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing
the same religion
you really ought to get up now

looking for some affirmation?

(George Michael)

I should have known
it seemed too easy
you were there
and I was brathing blue

strange
don't you think I'm looking older?
but something good has happened to me
change is a stranger
you have yet to know

well you're out of time
I'm letting go
you'll be fine
well that much I know
you're out of time
I'm letting go
I'm not the man you want

I should have known
it seemed too easy
you were there
I thought I needed you

strange
don't you think I'm looking older?
but something good has happened to me
change is a stranger
who never seems to show

well you're out of time
I'm letting go
you'll be fine
(or maybe you won't)
you're out of time
I'm letting go
I'm not the man that you want

I never should have looked back in your direction
I know that
just the same old fights again, baby
these are wasted days without affection
I'm not that foolish anymore

(George Michael)

. . .



spin the wheel

five o'clock in the morning
you ain't home
I can't help thinking that's strange
baby I just want you to know
I won't go through it again
yes, those clouds are closing in

chorus
and I will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear of what may be
and the lessons I have learned...
I would rather be alone then watch you
spinning that wheel for me
+
you've got a thing about danger
ain't you getting what you want from me
you've got a thing about strangers
baby that's what we used to be
you've got a thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just can't see
one of these days
you're gonna bring some home to me

six o'clock in the morning you ain't phoned
I can't help thinking that's strange
it seems that everybody takes
their chances
these days
oh yeah, we're standing in the rain

chorus

how can you love me
when you are playing with my life
you say give me time and I'll do better I swear
give me time and I'll lead you back to despair

and I don't want to go back there

(George Michael/Jon Douglas)

. . .



it doesn't really matter that I loved you
how many reasons call
it doesn't really matter at all

it doesn't matter that I failed to
break down your father's wall
it doesn't matter at all

why tell me you don't understand when you do
I thought I had something to say

but it really doesn't matter at all...

I changed my name
to be rid of the things that I want from you
it's strange
but a name is a name and the truth is the truth

oh, there is always
always someone to remind me

so I learn to live with shame
tell myself I feel no pain
but I do
and if I have to tell you

then it really doesn't matter at all...

and it's no good looking back
because time's a thief and I believe that
I'm too old for that
we're just saying the things that we've said
forever

it doesn't really matter that I loved you
how many seasons fall
it's too bad
it really doesn't matter at all

(George Michael)

. . .



take my life
time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognise
people I care for

take my dreams
childish and weak at the seams
please don't analyse
please just be there for me

the things that I know
nobody told me
the seeds that are sown
they still control me

there's a liar in my head
there's a thief upon my bed
and the strangest thing
is I cannot get my eyes open

take my hand
lead me to some peaceful land
that I cannot find
inside my head

wake me with love
it's all I need
but in all this time
still no one said...

there's a liar in my head
there's a thief upon my bed
and the strangest thing
is I cannot get my eyes open

give me something I can hold
give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul
please, please
make love to me, send love through me
heal me with your crime
the only one who ever knew me
we've waisted so much time
so much time

(George Michael)

. . .



I'm going down
won't you help me
save me from myself
I hear the sound of a memory
maybe time will tell

suddenly my life is like a river
taking me places I don't want to go
but like all good men who swim too well
it takes all that I have just to cry for help
then that voice in my head
tells me no

I'm going down
won't you help me
save me from myself
I look around for a fantasy
maybe
who can tell?

let me live my life beside the river
take me to places where a child can grow
and then
maybe the boy inside will forsake me
maybe
the child in me
will just let me go

I'm going down
the cold, cold water is rushing in
I'm going down
and I would beg to be forgiven

if I knew my sin

(George Michael)

. . .



I've been in and out of favour with lady luck
I gotta tell you
I've seen things I never wanted to see

I've got to get back on my feet
I feel like I've been sleeping
sweet, sweet time
has been a real good friend of mine

waiting for that change of season
oh the winter's been so long
searching for that rhyme or reason
you've just got to

move on
hold it together, move on
life's so short, move on
only time will set you free
just like me

you put your fears behind you
better get yourself where you wanna be
I think of all the days and nights I spent crying
and I move on

I've been in and out of favour with love
because I gotta tell you
I've been things I never wanted to be
and then some angel called me up
he told me I was sleeping
said "don't waste time
'cos even angels say goodbye"

waiting for that change of season
oh the winter's been so long
searching for that rhyme or reason
you've just got to

move on
hold it together, move on
life's so short, move on
only time will set you free
just like me

you put your tears behind you
better get yourself where you wanna be
I think of all the days and nights I spent crying
endlessly

and oh, there goes another season
getting hard to find a decent song to play
but oh, I guess I got my reasons
everybody thinks I'm doing a.o.k.
they ought to know by now

move on
hold it together, move on
life's so short, move on
only time will set you free
just like me

and life you won't wait for me

you put your tears behind you
better get yourself where you wanna be
I think of all the days and nights I spent crying
until my angel set me free

I'm gonna be lucky in love someday

(George Micheal)

star people
counting your money till you soul turns green
star people
counting the cost of your desire to be seen

I do not count myself among you
I may bee living in a dream
it's just there seem so many of you
can't help but hope
there's a difference between...you and me

you're a star
(I'm talking to you)
you're a star

I said
maybe your mama gave you up boy
(it's the same old same old)
maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl
how much is enough?

star people
never forget your sectret's safe with me
just look at all the wonderful people
trying to forget they had to pay for what you see

it's a dream
with a nightmare stuck in the middle
but listen brother where would you be
without all this attention
you'd die
I'd die
we'd die wouldn't we
(well wouldn't we)

big, big star
should go far

you're a star
(I'm talking to you)
you're a star

I said
maybe your mama gave you up boy
(it's the same old same old)
maybe your daddy didn't love you enough girl
how much is enough?

talk about your mother
talk about your father
talk about the peopel
who have made you what you are
talk about your teacher,
the bully boy who beat you
talk about te people who have paid
for that new sports car

did you gat off on a bad foot, baby
do you have a little to tell
is that why you're a star?
is that what makes a star?

nothing comes for nothing, baby
that fame and fortune's heaven sent
and who gives a f*** about your problems, darling
when you can't pay the rent

how much is enough?

(George Michael)

she takes the back road and the lane
past the school that has not changed
in all this time
she thinks of when the boy was young
all the battles she had won
just to give him life

that man
she loved that man
for all his life
but now we meet to take him flowers
and only God knows why

for what's the use in pressing palms
when children fade in mother's arms
it's a cruel world
we've so much to lose
and what we have to learn
we rarely choose

so if it's God who took her son
he cannot be the one living in her mind

take care my love, she said
don't think that God is dead
take care my love, she said
you have been loved

if I was weak, forgive me
but I was terrified
you brushed my eyes with angels wings
full of love
the kind that makes devils cry

so these days
my life has changed
and I'll be fine
but she just sits and counts the hours
searching for her crime

so what's the use of pressing palms
if you won't keep such love from harm
it's a cruel world
you've so much to prove

and heaven help the ones
who wait for you

well I've no daughters I've no sons
guess I'm the only one
living in my life

take care my love, he said
don't think that God is dead
take care my love, he said
you have been loved
