Chris De Burgh - Here Is Your Paradise Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - Here Is Your Paradise Video

I never knew love could be a silence in the heart,
A moment when the time is still,
And all I've been looking for is right here in my arms,
Just waiting for the chance to begin;
 
I never knew love could be the sunlight in your eyes,
On a day that you may not have seen,
And all I've been searching for, well words could never say,
When a touch is more than anything;
 
Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure;
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;
 
And in the dark night, you'll follow the bright light
And go where the love must go,
And you will wake in the morning to a brand new day,
Take all your worries away;
 
Maybe you will never know how much I love you,
But of this, be sure,
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;
Here is your paradise, here is your book of life,
Where you and I will be forevermore;

Chris De Burgh - The Best That Love Can Be Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - The Best That Love Can Be Video

There was a time that fire was burning bright,
And everthing was shining in the light,
But when the heart is cold, together we're alone,
Thinking of reasons to stay away;
 
There was a time that love was in our bed,
Eternity in every word we said,
But when desire has gone, it's hard to carry on,
Going through the motions when there's nothing there;
 
You have got my heart, and all I want from you,
Is just a kiss before we say goodbye;
 
And let me keep my memories of all the times we were amazing,
And I will keep in memories the best that love can be;
 
There was a time we had so much to say,
Together at the ending of the day,
But when the only words are all the ones that hurt,
Try to remember the way we were;
 
Take the past and hold it like a photograph,
'Cos it's the only way to say goodbye;
 
And we will keep these memories of all the times we were amazing,
And we will keep in memories... the best that love can be,
The best that love can be;
 
We were amazing.

Chris De Burgh - Heart Of Darkness Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - Heart Of Darkness Video

Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear,
They say that sailors were drowning in the bay,
And people kept away,
Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring,
When the morning comes,
And on and on that light returns again,
To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain;
 
I took the old path down, climbing over rocks and stones,
The place I knew when I was young,
And in my fear I had to carry on,
Where no-one else had gone,
Looking in the heart of darkness from above,
To the man inside,
I took my chance and set off for the light,
And started the journey of my life;
 
And in the darkest hour that light was calling me,
Through the doorway to another world,
And there below me I saw all the days of my life,
Till the moment I stood on the shore,
Worlds away, this was my destiny,
To be back here in another time,
And all around me I saw the faces that I knew,
Reaching out, there is nothing to fear,
Worlds away,
Come with me;
 
Last night I saw it there, shining in the dark again,
The light that all men seem to fear;
 
Come with me, come with me, come with me...

Chris De Burgh - The Revolution Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - The Revolution Video

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window,
I can hear someone knocking on the door,
There are voices in the street,
And the sound of running feet,
And they whisper the word-
Revolution!
 
There are men coming down from the valleys,
There are tall ships lying off the coast,
And they carry the light,
In the dark of the night,
Like a whisper in the wind-
Revolution!
 
Bring my gun and a handful of silver,
By the sea we will gather for the fight,
It's been so many years, so many tears,
We have lost once before,
Now we'll settle the score,
When our cannons will roar-
Revolution!

Chris De Burgh - In Your Eyes Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - In Your Eyes Video

Some people fall in love
In rooms that are so dark.
They can't see where they are going
And they lose their hearts.
But when I saw your face,
It was a light so strong!
I could feel a long night coming on...!
 
In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!
 
And I saw driving down to the river;
Laughing in the rain;
Dancing out in the moonlight;
Papers in bed!
And I saw your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
And oh... every time I look
It's you and me together... in your eyes.
 
Some people say that time changes everything.
With love there's no way of knowing
What the world may bring.
But I don't mind at all, because it's you and me!
And all I've ever wanted, I can see...
 
In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!
 
And we are driving down to the river;
Laughing in the rain;
Dancing out in the moonlight;
Papers in bed.
And I feel your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
Oh and every time I look
It's you and me together in your eyes!
 
In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!
 
And I feel your delights as a lover
Until the break of day!
And oh every time I look
It's you and me forever... in your eyes!
 
In your eyes...!
In your eyes...!
 
Driving down to the river...
Your delights as a lover...
Dancing out in the moonlight...

Chris De Burgh - Spanish Train Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - Spanish Train Video

There's a Spanish train that runs between
Guadalquivir and old Seville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people hear she's running still...
 
And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!
 
Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,
But above his head just a-waiting for the dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine!!
 
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the devil, Get thee hence to endless night!!
But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned,
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He's going underground!!
 
But I think I'll give you one more chance
Said the Devil with a smile,
So throw away that stupid lance,
It's really not your style,
Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
We'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
The souls of the dead!!
 
And I said Look out, Lord, he's going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, he's going to win!..
 
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord, he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight...
 
And then the Lord he called for one more card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
I believe you've got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place,
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace...
 
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And it soon went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
And he said that suits me fine,
I'll raise you high to hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sin,
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, My hand wins!!
 
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, don't let him win...
 
Well that Spanish train still runs between,
Guadalquivir and old Seville,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she's running still...
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best...
 
And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
The Sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time,
Oh my soul is on the line,
Oh Lord, you've got to win...

Chris De Burgh - So Beautiful Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - So Beautiful Video

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?
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 then we danced 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?
 
Ahh ahhh aahhh you are ...So Beautiful Ahh Ahhh Ahhhh so
Beautiful,
 
I'm standing here tonight, thinking of the times 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,
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...

Chris De Burgh - Always On My Mind Lyrics

Chris De Burgh - Always On My Mind Video

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't hold you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
 
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
 
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely nights
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
 
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
 
Tell me, tell me that your
Sweet love hasn't died
Give me
Give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
Satisfied
 
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
 
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
