Fatal Hesitation
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    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...

Fire On The Water
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

When I touch you I can feel you shivering,
I can feel your heart is beating fast,
We are alone in this crowded room,
Oh tonight there is something happening,
And it's something that should never be,
But there's a flame over you and me;

And I can see the fire on water,
I can see the light shining in your eyes,
I know that I can't stop it now,
'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun...

There's a place in an ancient fortress,
High above the worries of the world,
I'd love you there for a long, long time,
And we'll discover all our deepest secrets,
And let the spirit go flying free,
Until the dawn breaks over the sea;

It's burning like fire on the water,
I can see the light shining in your eyes,
I know that I can't stop it now,
'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Oh let it shine on me,
And I can see the fire on the water,
I can see the light shining in your eyes,
I know that I can't stop it now,
'Cos I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Yes I've been caught in the heat of the sun,
Oh let it shine on me;

And I can see the fire on the water,
Can't stop it now...

Flying Home
From Eastern Wind    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

We're sitting out here on the runway,
Waiting for the plane to leave,
And the captain says, "There'll be a short delay,
Bear with me please,"

They gave us the usual hassle,
"You can't take those guitars on board,"
But the boys in the band just smiled,
Heard it all before,

And as they're starting to serve champagne,
To the folks at the front of the plane,
I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way,
 

    And we are flying home,
    I feel the freedom in my soul,
    Flying home at last;
    Flying home,
    I've got the freedom in my soul,
    And it's four in the morning,
    My world is calling,
    Speeding through the universe tonight...

The movie reminds of my lady,
As she waits, "where are those guys?"
Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,

And now the sun is beginning to rise,
It's like looking down on Paradise,
There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life,

    And we are flying home,
    I feel the freedom in my soul,
    Flying home at last;
    Flying home,
    I've got the freedom in my soul,
    And it's four in the morning,
    My world is calling,
    Speeding through the universe tonight...

For Rosanna
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine,
A song for the baby who changed my life,
I'll never forget when I saw you first,
I thought that my heart would burst,
With the love that I have;

As I watch you sleeping in here tonight,
And I hear your breathing so soft and light,
I cannot believe all the things that I feel,
When I hold you next to me,
It's the love that I have;

Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how this heart is shining through,
With the love that I have;

And as you are growing from baby to child,
I share the wonders that are in your eyes,
And I am amazed at the way you change,
All according to the plan,
And the love that I have;

And when you are older you will go away,
You'll see injustice and you'll see pain,
But never forget that I'm always there,
Like a shadow by your side,
With the love that I have;

Oh my love, you have your mother's eyes,
And when I see you laugh, you have your mother's smile,
And you are mine all of my life,
You are mine, all of my love,
You are mine, blood of my blood,
You are mine;

Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart it is shining,
Oh how my heart it is shining through,
With the love that I have.

Forevermore
From The Love Songs    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I wake with the dawn, something is wrong,
Then I hear you breathing softly by my side,
And I know that I was dreaming, of a time that may come,
When you would be no longer in my life;

I slip out of the bed, I go down the stairs,
Still troubled by the power of the dream,
And I know that I don't say it quite as much as I should,
The way I feel, and what you mean to me;

You are my lover, you are my friend,
You are my life to the very end,
You bring me comfort, you keep me warm,
You give me hope, you make me strong,
You take me away to a distant shore,
And it's with you that I want to stay,
Forevermore;

We go out at night, you're looking so good,
People turning, as you walk into the room,
And when I stand beside you I can feel the pride in my heart,
To know that you are here with me tonight;

You are my lover, you are my friend,
You are my life to the very end,
You bring me comfort, you keep me warm,
You give me hope, you make me strong,
You take me away to a distant shore,
And it's with you that I'm going to stay, forevermore,
Yes it's with you that I'm going to stay, forevermore,
Yes it's with you that I'm going to stay, forevermore.

You are my lover, you are my friend,
You are my...

Friends Forevermore
From "Friends Forevermore" by the Aravon School Choir    Written by Chris de Burgh
By Chris de Burgh & Aravon School Choir (Solo part sung by Hubie Davison)

So here I am, back in my old school
Livin’ every moment of the time when I was young
It seems like yesterday.
I hear the voices in the classroom singing in my memory
Of the worse and final day before we said goodbye

We are the heroes of the future
Hand in hand together
To the sky where eagles fly
Friends forevermore

Down to the jungle with the mighty lions and the tigers
That’s where you can find me when I go to see the world 'oh!
To Peru and Africa and up the Himalayas
Meeting old friends
Making new friends everywhere I go

With every day and night of learning
We have shared emotions
And the dreams of a better world
With every game we played

Down to the jungle with the mighty lions and the tigers
That’s where you can find me when I go to see the world 'oh!
To Peru and Africa and up the Himalayas
Meeting old friends
Making new friends everywhere I go

(solo)
I know this day is nearly over
Last one put the lights out
Dry your eyes, do not cry,
We will meet again

We are the heroes of the future
Hand in hand together
To the sky where eagles fly
Friends forevermore

Friends forevermore, Friends forevermore
Friends forevermore, Friends forevermore.
