Michael Learns To Rock Album

Strange foreign beauty
I'll never know what's in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
does anyone know the secret of your mind
Strange foreign beauty
I'll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
does anyone know the secret of your life
Strange foreign beauty
You'll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
are slipping away disappearing in the air
Post chorus:
(You'll) never know what I felt for you
you were always on my mind
(I'll) never know how it feels to hold you
how it feels to be with you

Drifting back to a time gone by
she was in my life
Now I'm watching her from my car
Someone bought her rollerskates
God am I too late?
Did somebody else take my place?
She's getting closer
and as I roll the window down
I spoke and then she turned around
And I said:
Chorus:
There is something you should know
I could never let you go
because I miss you so
Baby when the time is right
together we will fight
to get you in my life
Looking back through misty eyes
but with a fathers pride
I drive away in my car
It doesn't matter baby
if it takes a year or two
Someday
you're gonna find the truth
And I thought
Chorus:
There is something you should know
I could never let you go...

Don't know what to say now
don't know where to start
I don't know how to handle
a complicated heart
You tell me you are leaving
but I just have to say
before you throw it all away
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
Don't know what you're thinking
to me it seems quite tough
to hold a conversation
when words are not enough
so this is your decision
and there's nothing I can do
I can only say to you
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain

It's been so long since we took the time
to share words from deep inside us
We're in our own world spinning our wheels
but you know how I feel
Well since the first time I took your hand
my love for you has just been growing
You always seem to understand
You know how I am
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend
I wanna share your ups and downs
I'm gonna be around
When you're alone and I'm away
don't be sad don't be afraid
I'm gonna turn my thoughts to you
like I always do
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend...
Catch you when you fall
Hold you when you’re down
Sharing every moment
I wanna show you all I do
I believe I’ve found a miracle
in you
Chorus:
I'm gonna love you til the end
I'm gonna be your very true friend...

I've seen my chances come and go
how they escape me I'll never know
I've had the answers there in my hand
I just didn't understand
Now Lady Luck has smiled at me
and given me another try
to meet up with my destiny
to find a way to fly
Chorus:
I wanna do something right for once in my life
before it's too late and I give up the fight
Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears
because I did something right
I see you standing there by the door
I get the feeling we've been here before
Watching emotions like runaway trains
we shouldn't miss again
But Lady Luck has smiled at me
and given me another try
to meet up with my destiny
and do something right
Chorus:
I wanna do something right for once in my life
before it's too late and I give up the fight
Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears
because I did something right
I don't wanna sit back waiting
as I watch my ship go by
tomorrow won't wait for you and I
I've seen my chances come and go
how they escape me I'll never know
I've had the answers there in my hand
now that I understand

Building it up tearing it down
the circle goes round and around
Lessons are learned and bridges burned
I'm hoping the tide will turn
I'm gonna change direction
just for my own protection
A flag is up I see the sign
It's just a matter of time
The wind will blow and the trees will bend
nothing is left in the end
It isn't my desire
to set the world on fire
Chorus:
I'm gonna come back when the war is over
when you're ready to make amends
Fill up the cracks and find the pieces
then put them all back again
I see you there in the air
nothing to break your fall
The damage is done you've had your fun
who is gonna pay for it all
It isn't my desire
to set the world on fire
Chorus:
I'm gonna come back when the war is over
when you're ready to make amends
Fill up the cracks and find the pieces
then put them all back again
I'm turning my back as the walls are falling
staying away till the dust is gone
I'm under attack and a voice is calling
better stay away something's wrong

It's late at night they've al gone home
so finally we're all alone
The waiter says we're closing very soon
Still the night's so long
don't wanna say goodbye to you
I've got plans for us tonight
baby that's right
Chorus:
I wanna dance all night long
all alone with you girl
'cos I'm ready for a sweet romance
all alone with you girl
We share the last glass of wine
our hearts are beating in perfect time
wondering who will be the first to say
You know it feels alright
why don't you hold me tight
Chorus:
I wanna dance all night long
all alone with you girl
'cos I'm ready for a sweet romance
all alone with you girl
I know tomorrow comes a day
Don't think about what they will say
Just close your eyes and dream away in my arms

When the night has come
and the day is done
I'm always thinking of you
you are in the air
You are everywhere
in the every thing I do

If I could keep this moment in time
if I could make you forever mine
Baby I'm lost in your love
from heaven above
You came to bring me up

Chorus:
With you I feel I could stay
in love forever and a day

When I walk alone
through an empty home
I just can't stop thinking of you
do you feel the pain
Could it be the same
are you missing me too

I see your face when I close my eyes
I see a glimpse of your own paradise
you came from heaven above
I'm lost in your love

Free as the wind
you give me wings to fly
My girl I feel I could stay
in love forever and a day

I feel that I could stay
In love forever and a day

I wake up in a sweat can't sleep I'm soaking wet
I toss and turn the whole night through
I keep going in and out of time (ahh ahh)
I just can't seem to bear my world without you there
You've gone back to the life you knew
But somehow I just can't get back to mine (ahh ahh)

When you went away nothing I could say
Could ever bring you back to me
Your lipstick cherry red the hours in my bed
Still haunts my memory
Chorus:
A kiss in the rain on a dark afternoon
A heart so in pain cos' love came too soon
A taste of her lips still lingers in vain
A sad souvenir of a kiss in the rain
He could offer more than long walks on the shore
My love for you was not enough
Girl I couldn't keep the flame alive (ahh ahh)
Still when I close my eyes it's you I visualize
Though I try to shout it out
Don't you know these feelings still survive
Was it just a fling at temporary thing
I find the letters that you wrote
And though I set you free you're still a part of me
The spell can not be broke
Chorus:
A kiss in the rain on a dark afternoon
A heart so in pain cos' love came too soon
A taste of her lips still lingers in vain
A sad souvenir of a kiss in the rain

Take a look around this lonely place
where a mask is worn on every face
and painted lips gently kiss
the end of their cigarettes

This world is dressed in such fineness
to cover all the emptiness
We're standing here in between
the pages of a magazine

Chorus:
You'll never know what I feel inside me
I'll never know what you think about
Until we share what we keep in private
Until we find what we're living without

Our shadows move across the wall
No promises no talk at all
Inside the crowd we dance alone
with faces made of stone

Chorus:
You'll never know what I feel inside me
I'll never know what you think about
Until we share what we keep in private
Until we find what we're living without

You've been given up and moving on
Been a runaway for far too long
What's the use in you crying tough
When you are longing for love
I can offer you company
Tender loving and harmony
I'll give you everything inside
If you would give me a try
This is time, a time for changes
Anybody's fool can see
This is a day, a day for you and me
Chorus:
Anytime you are ready
Hold the line I'm gonna run to you
Anytime it could happen
And make this dream come true
We can let the sun come in shining in
We can make a new life begin
I'm living for you can't you see
So take a chance on me
This is time, a time for changes
Anybody's fool can see
This is a day, a day for you and me
Chorus:
Anytime you are ready
Hold the line I'm gonna run to you
Anytime it could happen
And make this dream come true
No thunder and lightning will keep ne away
Any moment you call me, I'll be on my way
My heart is on fire with a burning desire
Chorus:
Anytime you are ready
Hold the line I'm gonna run to you
Anytime it could happen
And make this dream come true

When I woke up in my bed
Opened my eyes this morning
I saw the heavy black side of my
Soul was creeping out the window
The happiness I felt disappeared again
Cos' there was someone knocking at my door
I guess it is the postman with a
lot of messages from the world outside
Chorus:
Keep all your bills keep all your papers away from here
Leave me alone it is such a lovely day
No matter what you do in your life
You know you always have to sign
In a world where we were drowning in papers
It's difficult to hold the line
Newspapers pages always full of lies
Letters that make me cry
Sometimes I think that I've got enough
You better keep that stuff away from my side
Chorus:
Keep all your bills keep all your papers away from here
Leave me alone it is such a lovely day

There are times when you make me laugh
there are moments when you drive me mad
there are seconds when I see the light
though many times you made me cry

There's something you don't understand
I want to be your man

Chorus:
Nothing to lose
your love to win
hoping so bad that you'll let me in

I'm at your feet
waiting for you
I've got time and nothing to lose

There are times when I believe in you
these moments when I feel close to you
there are times I think that I am yours
though many times I feel unsure

There's something you don't understand
I want to be your man

Chorus:
Nothing to lose
your love to win
hoping so bad that you'll let me in

I'm at your feet
waiting for you
I've got time and nothing to lose

I'll always be around you
keep an eye on you
cos my patience is strong
and I won't let you run
cos you are the only one

Nothing to lose
your love to win
hoping so bad that you'll let me in

I'm at your feet
waiting for you
I've got time and nothing

I catch a word of the universal rhyme
in the summertimes in the summertimes
The river flows and I wonder where it goes
only heaven knows only heaven knows

Inpatient with the human race
still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth

But then tonight I had this dream
so horrible I had to scream
I saw the Earth naked like the Moon
naked like the Moon

(Piano)

Inpatient with the human race
still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth

But when I saw the News today
so horrible I had to pray
Don't leave the Earth naked like the Moon
naked like the Moon

In my search for freedom
and peace of mind
I've left the memories behind
Wanna start a new life
but it seems to be rather absurd
when I know the truth
is that I always think of you
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby
I will take and you will take your time
We'll wait for our fate
cos' nobody owns us baby
We can shake we can shake the rock
Try to throw the picture out of my mind
try to leave the memories behind
Here by the ocean
wave's carry voices from you
Do you know the truth
I am thinking of you too
Chorus:
Someday someway
together we will be baby...
The love we had together
just fades away in time
And now you've got your own world
and I guess I've got mine
But the passion that you planted
in the middle of my heart
is a passion that will never stop

The Milky Way upon the heavens
is twinkling just for you
and Mr. Moon he came by
to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
and for the people everywhere
gonna show them all we care
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars
there would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders
could see you here this way
they would hold the Earth in their arms
they would learn to watch you play
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild

Can I act like an angel
if I live like a jerk
Can I keep on disguising
Can I make believe
that I don't deceive
No..no..no
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
Dirty money in the left hand
While the preacher's shaking my right hand
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
When I'm riding on top of
the wave of success
Will I lose my devotion
Will I fail to see
what I used to be
oh..oh..oh
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor...
I'll have to carry on
as two persons in one

I'm on the floor
counting one minute more
No one to break the silence
Staring into the night
all alone but that's alright
It's the feeling deep inside I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again
This is where our journey ends
Your breaking my heart again
Here in my bed
counting the words you've said
They linger in the shadows
Coming home late at night
drunk again but that's alright
It's the look in your eyes I don't like
Chorus:
There is no excuse my friend
for breaking my heart
breaking my heart again...

He takes you out and he takes you up
'cause he can show you so much
I go to bed and tomorrow again
there's a lot of work to be done
He gives you gold and he'll promise you
the whole world will be yours
I just can tell you I love you so
even though my odds are low
Chorus:
I'm not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car
But I'm hoping so much you'll stay
that you will love me anyway
The dirty games and the neonshows
this is the world he knows
Watching the stars satisfies my soul
thinking of him makes me feel so cold
The fancy cars and the restaurants
you're just so fond of the man
Sometimes I wonder if you are blind
can't you see, he's got dirt on his mind
Chorus:
I'm not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car...
