Two Sides To Every Story (Duet With Shelley Nelson)
Album Two Sides To Every StoryBy Chris de BurghWrittern by Chris de Burgh

(Chris de Burgh)
I really love it when you say to me that I'm the one who makes you strong.
When we're together we are so complete, you say here's where you belong.

But when you dance, oh how you dance tonight,
with every man in sight, seduction pouring from your eyes...

(Both)
Two sides to every story, we're standing world's apart,
how can you say you love me, when you keep playing with my heart?

(Shelley Nelson)
I really love it when you hold me tight and you tell me that I'm the best!
The way you touch me, and the way you kiss, and the thrill of your caress.

But when you smile, you smile at every girl
like you're the greatest lover in the world, you should keep your feelings to yourself !

(Both)
Two sides to every story, we're standing worlds apart,
How can you say you love me when you keep playing with my heart?

(Chris de Burgh)
You dance with any man.
(Shelley Nelson)
What about you, going like a hurricane!
(Chris de Burgh)
That's not true! There's nothing to explain.
(Shelley Nelson)
Well there you go again!
(Both)
You're always trying to get the last word!

(Both)
Two sides to every story, we're standing worlds apart,
How can you say you love me when you keep playing with my heart?

(Chris de Burgh)
Maybe I flirt a little too much.
(Shelley Nelson)
And I just love to dance!
(Chris de Burgh)
Let me say it loud and clear:
I want you!
(Shelley Nelson)
I want you too!

   

So Beautiful
Album The Love Songs / Two Sides To Every StoryBy Chris de BurghWrittern by Chris de Burgh

I'm lying here tonight, thinking of the days we've had,
Wondering if the world would be so beautiful,
If I had not looked into your eyes,
How did you know that I've been waiting?
I never knew the world would be so beautiful at all;

I'm spending all the days, dreaming of the nights we've had,
I never knew that love would be a miracle,
When I think of all the ones before,
But now that I've found you I am flying,
I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me,
I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me;

And when we dance to the rhythm that is burning like a flame,
And when you touch me I can hardly move you take my breath away,
You give me all that I want to feel when we become as one,
And then you take me to the heaven of your heart;
Did nobody ever tell you, you're the best thing that has ever been;

Ah... you... ah... so beautiful... ah... so beautiful...

I'm standing here tonight, thinking of the time we'll have,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful,
From the day you came into my life,
I just want to say, you make me happy,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me,
I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me;

So beautiful to me...
So beautiful to me...
So beautiful to me...
...to me;

I'm lying here tonight,
I'm dreaming here tonight,
I dance with you tonight...

   

The Snows Of New York
Album This Way Up / Two Sides To Every StoryBy Chris de BurghWrittern by Chris de Burgh

I can see you now by the light of the dawn,
And the sun is rising slow,
We have talked all night, and I can't talk anymore,
But I must stay and you must go;

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me;

There are those who fail, there are those who fall,
There are those who will never win,
Then there are those who fight for the things they believe,
And these are men like you and me;

There are those who fail, there are those who fall,
There are those who will never win,
Then there are those who fight for the things they believe,
And these are men like you and me;

In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore,
Leaving footprints by the sea,
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand,
That was when you carried me;

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me;
Lift your heart and think of me;

   

Fatal Hesitation
Album Into The Light / Two Sides To Every StoryBy Chris de BurghWrittern by Chris de Burgh

The cafés are all deserted, the streets are wet again,
There's nothing quite like an out of season holiday town
In the rain,
When the tourists go and the cold winds blow,
And my girl is on a plane, home...

I'm never going to love another, the way that I have loved you,
It's taken me a little time to discover it,
Now I know it's true, but fatal hesitation,
Made me miss the show,

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I know that I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation...

I saw you again this morning, walking down the beach,
And though you are a thousand miles away,
You were only just out of reach, but when I got up close,
And I saw her face, I knew it couldn't be so, no, no

Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation, fatal hesitation,
I'm going to get on my boat and sail away ~
Oh Romeo is standing in the rain,
And I, yes I know, I have let her slip away,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation,
Fatal hesitation...

I'm going to read a little Shakespeare,
And get her out of my head,
It doesn't matter any more;
I'm going to miss her just a little bit,
Just a little bit...
