Beautiful Dreams

Lady love, go back to sleep,
Dry the tears from your eyes,
But i cannot stay with thee
Until the morning,
For the dawn is breaking,
And my ship is waiting for me,
And i must go,
But i'll be back, yes,
Before this year is over;

So we sailed across the sea,
Till we found america,
'round the cape of storms
We set our sails for home,
And when the sea was roaring
And the lord i called
To help my drowning men,
I saw the light, yes, the candle in your window...

And i have brought you silver,
And i have brought you gold,
And spices from the indies in the hold;
I've seen ships on the horizon,
That i'd swear were going down,
But now i know for certain,
The world is round,
I have seen, my eyes have seen.

One day says galileo,
A man will reach the sky,
And see the world completely,
From outside,
And gazing down from younder,
On a world of blue and green,
He'll say with eyes of wonder,
I have seen, i have seen,
My eyes have seen.
I have seen,
My eyes have seen.

I was looking at a photograph,
Taken in a garden long before the war,
And out on the lawn,
There were old men and dogs and little children,
All of them gone forever;

And there were people by the waterside,
Standing in the same place where i am today,
Nothing has changed - but you know,
That time is moving like a river,
It can only be love forever;

We shine on, brighter than the sun,
Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
We shine on, you and me tonight,
Way across the universe,
Burning like a fire in the night;

There are those who can never cross,
The space between a father and a son,
When they are young,
We must say all the words that should be spoken,
Before they are lost forever;

And i was looking at a photograph,
Taken from a window way above the world,
And we've got to learn,
We must leave here a garden for our children,
When we are gone forever;

We shine on, brighter than the sun,
Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,
We shine on, you and me tonight,
Way across the universe,
Burning like a fire in the night;

Leave here a garden for the children,
Leave here a new world,
In the night, in the night,
Burning like a fire in the night.

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
And i've never seen that dress you're wearing
Or that highlights in your hair
That catch your eyes
I have been blind

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where i wanna be
But i hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled it took my breath away
And i have never had such a feeling such a feeling
Of complete and utter love, as i do tonight

The lady in red is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
There's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where i wanna be
But i hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight

I never will forget the way you look tonight
The lady in red
My lady in red
I love you

I've been missing you...

I've got the roses, i've got the wine,
With a little luck she will be here on time,
This is the place we used to go,
With romantic music and the lights down low,
And as you stand there amazed at the door,
And you're wondering what all this is for,
It's just a simple thing, from me to you,
The lady that i adore, 'cos there's something
That you should know, it's that

I've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that i've been thinking about it every day,
And the time we had just dancing nice and slow,
And i said now i've found you,
I'm never letting go;

There is no reason to the things that we do,
You can break a heart with just a word or two,
And take a lifetime to apologise,
When the one you love's in front of your eyes,
And i will fall to my knees like a fool,
If it's the only way of getting through,
You see if i think you are beautiful,
Someone else is going to feel it too,
So there's only one thing to do, tell you that

I've been missing you, more than words can say,
And that i've been thinking about it every day,
Well tonight's our night for dancing nice and slow,
Because now i've found you, i'm never letting go,
No, now i've found you, i'm never letting go;

I've been missing you...
I've been missing you...
I've been missing you...
I've been missing you, darling...

I don't mind this empty room, and i like it when i'm alone,
I'm trying not to think about you, i'm not waiting by the telephone,
I'm watching a late-night movie, where the lovers say goodbye,
And it's really getting to me, and tears are in my eyes,
But i'm not crying, i'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, i'm over you;

I go out with all of my friends, and i'm hardly ever at home,
You know things just couldn't be better,
I have read it in my horoscope,
I might take a walk past your house, for a trip down memory lane,
You may see me at your window, standing in the pouring rain,
But i'm not crying, i'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, no i'm not crying,
I'm not crying, i'm not crying, i'm not crying over you,
I'm over you;

No i'm not crying, i'm not crying,
I'm not crying over you, i'm over you,
I'm over you.

There is an answer, some day we will know,
And you will ask her, why she had to go,
We live and die, we laugh and we cry,
And you must take away the pain,
Before you can begin to live again;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the tears come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carre me like a fire in your heart;

There is a river rolling to the sea,
You will be with her for all eternity,
But we that remain need you here again,
So hold her in your memory
And begin to make the shadows disappear;

Yes let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart;

So let it start, my friend, let it start,
Let the love come rolling from your heart,
And when you need a light in the lonely nights,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart,
Carry me like a fire in your heart.

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;

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;

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.
