See her
Dreamin'
Don't wake me
'cos it's real
Angel

Come fly
Through the sky
I see
A distant light
It's burning so bright
A mystical sight
A glorious flight
In the moonlight

So it's a secret i can tell you but
What i saw, it was astounding, i
Want this feeling forever in my life

Can you see her
Am i dreamin'
Please don't wake me
'cos it's real
She's my angel

Of love

Between the clouds
Come rain or come shine
I'm falling up to heaven
Race all through the night
Pray magic's in the air

So it's a secret i can tell you but
What i saw, it was astounding, i
Want this feeling forever in my life

Can you see her
Am i dreamin'
Please don't wake me
'cos it's real
She's my angel

Mikey: as i stood and said goodbye
With a lump in my throat
Couldn't bear the hurt inside
As i found your foolish note

While i understand your pain
I could see what you've to gain
By leaving me alone
Why won't you come back home

But your love whispers through my life
And i can't fake the pain inside

Stephen: if you'd only let me get close to you
Oh girl, i'd feel the world's at my feet
And i'd know that all my dreams have come true
For me and for you
Just wait and believe, you'll see
I want to get close to you
Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

Mikey: well the road was long
And my tears have all dried up
Because the distance we shared
Was an enemy of love

I got my bag on my back
And my coat in my hand
I'm gonna take this distance
Into another man's land

But your love whispers through my life
And i can't fake the pain inside

Stephen: if you'd only let me get close to you
Oh girl, i'd feel the world's at my feet
And i'd know that all my dreams have come true
For me and for you
Just wait and believe, you'll see
I want to get close to you
Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

I want to get close to you

Close to you
So close to you
Close to you
So close to you
Close to you
So close to you
Close to you

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How i hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, i'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now i see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together

Chiquitita, you and i know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin' down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, you and i know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita, you and i cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

Released as the b-side to love me for a reason november 1994.

Stephen: ok kid 'k get off your horse
And drink that milk

Oh i could hide 'neath the wings
Of the blue bird as she sings
The six-o'clock alarm would never ring
Once it rings and i rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings

All: cheer up sleepy jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen

Stephen: you once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy i can be
Oh, and our good time starts and end
With a dollar one to spend
But how much baby do we really need

All: cheer up sleepy jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen

Cheer up sleepy jean
Oh what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen
(repeat to fade)

Oooh

No one seems to think too much of me here
And they're glad to tell it to my face
Even though i'm not suppose to be here
I'm completely out of place
Somehow there has got to be a reason
Even as i try to think it through
There's a bolt from the blue

And i see a shooting star (and i see a star)
Set apart from all the rest
While the other stars are standing still (ooh)
He's on a quest
Every night this shooting star (every night this star)
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in (ooh)
And he's longing to know why, why (longing to know why)

I feel so much better when it's night-time
That's when i can sort of disappear
When the sun is set and it's the right time
For pretending i'm not here
Sometimes i just start into the heavens
Wondering if the answer is inside
That's when i see the light

Of myself that shooting star
On it's way to who knows where (on his way to who knows where)
He's a one like all the stars (ooh) but he outshines out there (shines out there)
And that solitary star (solitary star)
Is an awful lot like me (ooh)
On an endless search through time and space
Far a place that won't seem wrong (place that won't seem wrong)

If we both hang on for long enough
We both somehow are strong enough
We'll find out were we belong

Every night this shooting star (every night this star)
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in (ooh)
And he's longing to know why (why)
Know why (why)
Why (why)
Why (why)
Know why (why) (to fade)

Ronan: i've got to tell you
Girl you're in danger
No one can save you now
You're going to be mine somehow
You didn't know me
But to me you're no stranger
Saw you each day every week
I was too shy to speak
I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now i've got to say...

Stephen: oh carol, gotta make you mine
Carol, it'll work out fine
I know it's love, i know it's love for real
I know it's love, i know the way i feel
Carol, you're my dream come true
Carol, when i look at you
Carol, say you'll never go
Carol, you know i need you so

All: carol when i hold you tight
I don't want to say goodnight

Ronan: can't you feel it
It's all around you
Reach out and take it all
Don't be afraid to fall
Don't want to lose you
Now that i've found you
I'll always be around
I'll never let you down
I loved you long ago
I loved you even though
You never looked my way
But now i've got to say...


Stephen: oh carol, gotta make you mine
Carol, it'll work out fine
I know it's love, i know it's love for real
I know it's love, i know the way i feel
Carol, you're my dream come true
Carol, when i look at you
Carol, say you'll never go
Carol, you know i need you so

All: carol when i hold you tight
I don't want to say goodnight


Stephen: oh carol, gotta make you mine
Carol, it'll work out fine
I know it's love, i know it's love for real
I know it's love, i know the way i feel
Carol, you're my dream come true
Carol, when i look at you
Carol, say you'll never go
Carol, you know i need you so

.from the different beat album (1996). written by gately/hedges/brannigan.

Give a little, take a little, pray a little
Give a little, you know you've got to
Take a little, just one more time
Pray a little, to make it happen

And i'd swear, i'd cross the road
But you'd avoid me
Please tell me, why?
It ain't fair, i'd call you up
But you won't answer
Just no reply

Too blind to see that ache inside
So have a heart, i'm begging you

Give a little, take a little, pray a little
Say you want to
Give a little, you know you've got to
Take a little, just one more time
Pray a little, to make it happen
Say you want me, girl

Somehow with every chance
I'll make you happy
You won't believe
Sing out loud with each and every
Waking moment
You'll fill my head

Give a little, take a little, pray a little
Say you want to
Give a little, you know you've got to
Take a little, just one more time
Pray a little, to make it happen
Say you want me, girl

Say you want me, girl
And wait and see
Too blind to see that ache inside
So have a heart, i'm begging you

Say you want me

Give a little, take a little, pray a little
Say you want to
Give a little, you know you've got to
Take a little, just one more time
Pray a little, to make it happen
Say you want me, girl

.from the said and done album (1995).written by joey balin/andy hill.

I see what he's doing to you
And it hurts me so
I wish i could steal you away
But you just won't go
Something's holding you close to him
Something i can't see
But come that day when you've had enough
I pray you come running to me...

Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine

You know that i want you
You know that i need you

Every time i see your face
It lights up my day
But i watch you passing me by
And my sky turns grey
Maybe someday you're gonna see
I'm the one for you
Till then i'll just have to wait
For my dreams to come true...

Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine

My friends keep telling me - let it go
But what i feel they'll never know
I can't stop my heart's beating so strong for you
But you're with him and not with me
Baby it's as sad as it can be...

Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine

I really need you girl...
You know i really need you...

Cause if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine

I saw a tear in your eye
How could i be so glad
To let you walk right out of my life
Just watch you break down and cry
(but now it's time)
Now it's time
To let you know
What's on my mind

That i...
I never knew love like this
But no one will ever love you more
I promise you this
Oh...

No matter what comes my way
No matter what else may change
Nothing will change
The way i feel
My love for you
Is neverending
And no matter what
I'll never stop loving you

I know that i need to try
To realise what i was doing
To let you run and let you hide
I got this fear deep inside
Without you my life's not worth living
It's in my arms that you belong

And now...
I know i understand
What we have now complete
You're my everything i need
And you

No matter what comes my way
No matter what else may change
Nothing will change
The way i feel
My love for you
Is neverending
And no matter what
I'll never stop loving you

It's only you yeah
Who turned my darkness into light
Who made my day ran smooth
(give me strength)
Give me strength to carry on
(give me hope)
Give me hope when all is gone

No matter what
I'm gonna give you love
'cos baby i will never stop loving you
Yeah it's you

No matter what comes my way
No matter what else may change
Nothing will change
The way i feel
My love for you
Is neverending
And no matter what
I'll never stop
No matter what comes my way
No matter what else may change...

Ronan: i like the feel of your name on my lips
And i like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you're not there
And i like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy your two hour bath
And how you convinced me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane

...but i love the way you love me
Oh baby
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul, so completely
I love the way you love me

Stephen:...and i like the sound of old r'n'b
You roll you eyes when i'm slightly off key
And i like the innocent way that you cry
At sappy old movies you see thousands of times

...and i love the way you love me
Oh baby
Strong and wild
Slow and easy
Heart and soul, so completely
I love the way you love me

Ronan: so listen to me now

...and i could list a million things
I'd love to like about you (about you)
But they all come down to one reason (to one reason)
I could never live without you

Stephen:...i love the way you love me
Oh baby
Strong and wild
(strong and wild)
Slow and easy
(slow and easy)
Heart and soul
(heart and), so completely
I love the way you love me

Ronan:i love the way that you love me

Shane: "weeks, day, hours, minutes
('till i'll be home)."

Ronan: a kiss on the cheek in the old town park
Carved your name in the shape of a heart
Walked together, hand in hand
I didn't feel the rain

Ronan: and there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying i'm doing fine
And there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying i'm doing fine

Stephen: and i'm coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there
And i'm coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there

Shane: "weeks, days ('till i'll be home)".

Ronan: children on the street still playing their games
Smiles on their faces have never changed
I hope it's all the same
I didn't leave in vain

Ronan: and there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying i'm doing fine
And there's a picture, girl
That hangs inside my mind
And there's a letter, girl
Saying i'm doing fine
All: (on my way...)

Stephen: and i'm coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there
Coming home now
It's been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
And this is where i'll stay...

Keith: (dear the close ones
I remember seeing
Here in my heart and overseas
I feel you close and not so far
Soon we'll be together
And this time, it's forever)

Stephen: coming home now
Been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you'll be there...

Ronan: i've got something to tell you
I've got something to say
I'm gonna put this dream in motion
Gonna let nothing stand in my way
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going

I'm gonna get myself across the river
It's the price i'm willing to pay
I'm gonna make you stand and deliver
Giving me love in the old fashioned way


All: darling
Ronan: i'll climb any mountain

I sit and watch the time go by

How can a man stay dignified
When all he does is cry inside?
I need to know
And question how i'm feeling
I have to know
Why girl, it's still been keeping us apart (yeah yeah)
If i tell myself
What you mean to me

Praying you'll hear what i'm saying
