I’ll Catch You If You Fall
For years you thought fame,
was the name of the game.
That the spotlight would shine on you,
if you followed your dream through.
However, if that dream should ever stall,
I’ll be here, I’ll catch you if you fall.
You took those first tender steps,
on the treadmill to your satisfaction,
walking the narrow line,
between celebration and rejection.
You posed with the beauty queens,
as you climbed towards the top.
At several stages, you stalled,
teetered on the edge.
You recovered to move forward,
taking leaps along the way.
Then overnight you failed to perform,
I shouted from the wings, I‘d catch you if you fall.
You merely nodded, moved forward in a rush.
The coming months saw your star begin to fade;
you began to struggle more each day.
Finally, you gave your final curtain call,
remembering the words I had always said,
that I would be there and, I’ll catch you if you fall.

I’ll Catch You When You Fall
You wanted so much to be a star;
wide eyed you looked at what could be,
so you started on your climb.
Not looking back at the misery,
you were leaving behind.
However, one day when your star should stall,
I will be here to catch you when you fall.
Friends have all told me that
you’ve turned your back on us here,
but I bet when you hear,
some distant train whistle blow
you stop for a moment
and something in your memory will recall,
that I’ll still be here to catch you when you fall.
You have moved on and upwards,
new friends you have by the score,
while your star is burning bright.
But what will happen when it begins to dim,
how many new friends will you have then,
and how many time will they come to call?
I’ll still be here to catch you when you fall.
Everyday I see your face on the TV.
Your false smile seems to have faded a little.
Isn’t the stardom what you thought it was going to be?
So on nights when your pillow is damp with tears.
Do you remember what you left behind,
and do you remember and recall what I said.
I’ll be there to catch you when you fall.
Leaving all your glad rags behind,
you closed the door on your dream.
Wandering aimless around for years,
not sure what you were going to do.
You wrote me a letter and asked if you could call.
I wrote back to you simply saying, come home,
I am still here to catch when you fall.

Catch My Fall

White Noise
All the people that you know, they say youre ready to break down
All the people that you know, they say youre ready to fall
I hope you know that you are better than you think you are
I hope you know you that you will never really try
I hope you know you that you are never unknown
You got a good friend on the inside
Whoa-oh
I just want to be there when you need to find your feet on the solid ground
Whoa-oh
I just want to catch you when you fall down
(when you fall down)
All the people that you know say you live in white noise
Yeah, all the people that you know they say youre living in hell
They dont know anything
I hope that you know that you are better than they say you are
I have to say that you are stronger than you know
I have to say that you are smart enough to handle any stunt anyone could pull
Whoa-oh
I just want to be there when you need to find your feet on the solid ground
Whoa-oh
I just want to catch you when you fall down
Catch you when you fall down
Catch you when you fall down
Catch you when you fall down
I want to catch you when you fall down
When you fall down
All the people that you know, say youre ready to break down
All the people that you know, say youre ready to fall
I have to say that you are better than they think you are
Have to say that you are better than them all
Have to tell you that you never need the answer
When you need someone to call
Whoa-oh
I just want to be there when you need a hand to help you turn it all around
Whoa-oh
I just need to be there when you need to come down
Woah-oh
I just want to be there when you need to find your feet on the solid ground
Whoa-oh
I just want to catch you when you fall down
Catch you when you fall down
Catch you when you fall down
I want to catch you when you fall down

Don't Forget To Catch Me
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
And dont forget to patch my heart, if it should break in two
Its just a dream, but a dream that might come true
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
Dont forget to be around in case I need you near
And dont forget to listen when I whisper in your ear
I think you know, thats the way its gonna be
When I fall in love with you and you with me
Now we could be happy, you know I mean happy
Doing the things you do
Id sit and talk with you
And maybe steal a little kiss or two from you
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
And dont forget to patch my heart, if it should break in two
Its just a dream, but a dream that might come true
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
I said, dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
Ooh, dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
I said, dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you

From Luxury To Heartache
Luxury and heartache
Oh yeah
Oh luxury and heartache
Oh yeah
I wont be coming home tomorrow
Nobody there to catch my tears
I wont be leaving tears of sorrow anymore
I played that game for so many years
If I cry, will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If I cry, will you catch my fall
Am I playing the losers game?
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning
She will be there to give you children, yes she will
She will be there to make you sing, sing, sing
I wont be standing in the shadows anymore
I learned to cover up my pain
If I cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If I cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the losers game?
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning
Gave me love
You gave your love to me
You gave me love
But its not enough for me
Oh luxury
But all you give me is pain
Again and again
Luxury is sweet and so cool
If I cry will you catch my fall
Do you want me to be the same
If I cry will you catch my fall
Am I playing the losers game?
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me little warning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way to find that you were mourning
From luxury to heartache
Such a long way you gave me, gave me no warning

Texarkana
20,000 miles to an oasis
20,000 years will I burn
20,000 chances I wasted
Waiting for the moment to turn
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
Walking through the woods I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
30,000 thoughts have replaced it,
Never in my time to return
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall
All alone
Waiting to fall
40,000 stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
40,000 reasons for living
40,000 tears in your eye
I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall

The Waking Edge
As I wake up in a room somewhere...
Dawn light not yet showing.
Theres just a thin horizon between me and her...
The edge of a half-dream glowing.
Well, you know, I felt her in my dream last night.
Strange how the sheets are warm beside me.
Now, how do I catch the waking edge?
As it slips to the far and wide of me.
Didnt I try to hold it down?
Freeze on the picture, hang sharp on the sound.
Catch the waking edge
Another time.
Familiar shadows in my hotel room
Are still here for the taking.
They seem to linger on as the street lights fade
And the empty dawn is breaking.
Private movie showing in my head...
Which button do I press for re-run?
And how do I catch the waking edge?
The edge of a dream about someone.
Well, you know, I felt her in my dream last night...
Now the sheets are cold beside me.

When I catch my falling star
When I catch my falling star
Many friends will be there to tell where all my past years are
When I catch my falling star
I will take with me songs of glory repertoire
When does fall my star from the skies
Let no tears fall on checks from loving eyes
When does fall my star from the skies
The birds will sing and trees indulge in breeze free of human sighs

Colours Fly & Catherine Wheel
''belle
Never turn your back
Great times attack
Inexpensive thrills
And I said belle
Of all the friends who care
Some should be seen
But never heard
Colours fly and catherine wheels
Poor girls cry
In the beauty of both worlds
Catch a boy fell falling
Fall in love fell falling
Catch a boy fell falling
Fall in love fell falling
Catch a boy fell falling
Out of the sky
''belle
When the pulses rise
Love will tranquilize
Just before it kills
And I said belle
You turn them on
With your reflection
I know so well
Colours fly and catherine wheels
Poor girls cry
In the beauty of both worlds
Catch a boy fell falling
Fall in love fell falling
Catch a boy fell falling
Fall in love fell falling
Catch a boy fell falling
Out of the sky
Catch a boy fell falling
Fall in love fell falling
Catch a boy fell falling
Fall in love fell falling
Catch a boy fell falling
Out of the sky
Out of the sky
Colours fly and catherine wheels
Some girl cry
Over her boyfriend
When colours fly and catherine wheels
So when the colours fly
And when the catherine wheels...

Time After Time
From Clockstoppers Soundtrack.
Cyndi Lauper cover song.
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And I think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
And I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, and I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Why
The sky has fallen on my yesterday
I watch my moon and blue sun (?) slip away
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why i don't know
And i try to pull myself togehter
I don't want to go home (?)
The little girl has lost her way today
The tables turning on the game she plays
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I (slip away) fall . . .

Chasing The Dream
He was chasing the dream.
Walking all over the dreams of another.
He deserved it though.
So hard done by.
The victim makes his victims.
The price, not his to pay.
Finally, he reaches his goal.
Or so, it only seems.
He has made it to the top.
Yet, alone he stands.
Staring down, on the dreams of others he destroyed.
His dream, becomes his nightmare.
From the top he falls.
No one there to catch him,
Until the bottom he hits.
He reflects, and his reflection that once he adored,
He is now repulsed by.
All he chased, has now disappeared.
All that remains is him. Alone.
He rebuilds.
He rebuilds the dreams he once destroyed.
Harder work, yet with endless reward.
As others reach the top,
He is now there to catch others as they fall.
Once on his own pedestal, now creating one for others.
So on another's pedestal he sits.
Many hands to catch him if he falls.
Once empty, seeking power from others and in the dark,
Now full, empowered, and a vision of light.
He has found the dream.
It was chasing him the whole time.

How Far Do I Have To Fall?
How far do I have to fall for you to catch me?
If I ride a horse do I have to fall from the top of the horse for you to catch Me?
Do I have to fall from the sky for you to catch me?
Do I have to fall slowly to the ground and before I hit the ground you
Will catch me?

Catch My Fall
I wake up feeling lost without you
And the pain reminds me that Im all alone
Those dreams we had, are now a nightmare
I feel just like a dog without a bone
Now is now and then was then
But I cant get used to being without you
Its a brand-new start and now I know that I shouldve
But I never ever thought Id miss your eyes
Say here we go again
All I need is you tonight
Why dont you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall
Id die for you over and over again
But I guess youve heard it all before
You say times have changed, changed your ways
But your absence makes me need you more and more
Its a brand-new start and now I know that I shouldve
Loved you then...
All I need is you tonight
Why dont you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall
All I need is you tonight
Why dont you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall- thats all
Solo
All I need is you tonight...

Lyla
Calling all the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Confort me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand
She believes in everything
And everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind
Hey LYLA
The stars about to fall...
So what you say LYLA
The world around us makes me feel so
Small LYLA
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say LYLA
Heaven help you catch me if I fall
She's the queen of all I've seen
And every song and city far and near
Heaven hell my mademoiselle
She rings the bell for all the world to hear
Hey Lyla
The stars about to fall
So what you say LYLA
The world around us makes me feel so
Small Lyla
If you can't hear me call
Then I can't say Lyla
Heaven help you catch me when I fall

Whenever You Call

Bm:
Love wandered inside
Stronger than you
Stronger than i
Mc:
And now that it has begun
We cannot turn back
Bm:
We can only turn into one
Both:
I wont ever be too far away to feel you
And I wont hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And Ill always remeber
The part of you so tender
Ill be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call
And Im truly inspired
(and Im)
Finding my soul
(finding my soul)
There in your eyes
(there in your eyes)
And you
(and you)
Have opened my heart
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself
Undisguised
Both:
I wont ever be too far away to feel you
And I wont hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And Ill always remeber
The part of you so tender
Ill be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call
(mc: uuuuuh)
Bm:
And I will breathe for you each day
Comfort you through all the pain
Gently kiss your fears away
Mc:
You can turn to me and cry
Always understand that i
Give you all I am inside
Both:
I wont ever be too far away to feel you
And I wont hesitate at all
Whenever you call
I wont ever be too far away to feel you
And I wont hesitate at all
Whenever you call
And Ill always remeber
The part of you so tender
Ill be the one to catch you fall
Whenever you call
Whenever you call
Whenever you

Moving To The Sun
While they were staring at the citgo sign
Is when they lost our trail
They thought we were part of a caravan
But we had other plans
You cant catch me
Where Im gonna fall
You cant catch me
Where Ill hide
This worlds too cold
This nova rolls
Im moving to the sun
93 miles times a million more
Quite a trip weve planned
I must drive now carefully (I must drive now)
And figure where well land
You cant catch me
Where Im gonna fall
You cant catch me
Where Ill hide
This worlds too cold
So Im gunna run
Im moving to the sun

Fall Into Sleep
Dreams of earthquakes
Dreams of hurricanes
Dreams of pouring rain
Dreams of tidal waves (wash us all away)
Dreams of guns blaze
Dreams of fire rage
Dreams of swollen graves
Dreams of hollow pain
All gone
No more fallen
No more enemy
No more casualty
No more dream
Fall into sleep
Fall into me
I have a dream
But nobody cares, nobody wants to listen
Fall into sleep
Fall into me
Hang on to a dream
That nobody wants, nobody cares anymore
Dreams of morning grief
Dreams of disbelief
Dreams of tragedy
Dreams of old disease (to take us all away)
Dreams of fideltiy
Dreams of enemies
Dreams of loyalty
Dreams of new disease
All gone, All gone
Fall into sleep
Fall into me
I have a dream
But nobody cares, nobody wants to listen
Fall into sleep
Fall into me
Hang on to a dream
That nobody wants, nobody cares anymore
The angels are richer
Fall with broken burning wings
Are we dead inside
Are we blind
The dead keep moving forward
Backwards with those dies
We're losing sight
We're lost inside
No more fallen
No more enemy
Fall into sleep
Fall into me
I have a dream
But nobody cares, nobody wants to listen
Fall into sleep
Fall into me
Hang on to a dream
That nobody wants, nobody cares
Nobody wants, nobody cares anymore
All gone
All gone
All gone
All gone

I Shall Resurface
I shall resurface and redeem
The pledge taken can be left behind seldom
This is not the struggle for freedom
It is the honor and question of wisdom
Nothing can deter me from pursuing
No one can take it on agenda for arguing
It is self proclamation to prove to the call
When destiny is so near, you can’t afford imminent fall
For moment I can be sent into oblivion
I am not our from game and returning to pavilion
I have faith and trust in ability
As I have closely known the futility
I am not here to advance little and fall back by yards
My goal is not limited and to be moved forward
There might be some short fall or failure
But I am determined to move for sure
I can’t be broken at little pressure
It is not the problem with my nature
I know when to bow and when to rise
As it is apparent that after night there will be sunrise
Sun can’t be shadowed or hidden
Such things can’t take place or happen
Once in a life time such occurrences take place
So I follow the nature and pursue the race
I know that I can be flown away like leaf
The words can’t be heard by dear
We are unknown and stranger
But eyes can visualize the coming danger
It is endless struggle and may remain so
With determined bid it must start and go
Leave behind all speculations and dash against wall
It will go down like cards and fall
