Safe From Harm
All this time I spend in shadow
Hollow from my life’s decay
Always trying to reach outside
Hoping to grab onto a piece of light
Thrown into despair
Because you are never there
Never there to hold me in your arms
Feeling I disappear
‘cause no one sees me here
Here to keep me safe from harm
My tears so many times fall like rain
Flooding my wading pool of misery
Crawling on the floor hear me scream
A faceless voice no one ever sees
Thrown into despair
Because you are never there
Never there to hold me in your arms
Feeling I disappear
‘cause no one sees me here
Here to keep me safe from harm
Why must this tree of lies grow so
My tears have made my heart a stone
This load is weighing me down today
Why won’t you love this all away
Thrown into despair
Because you are never there
Never there to hold me in your arms
Feeling I disappear
‘cause no one sees me here
Here to keep me safe from harm

Hold Me
It's you that
I run to
Whenever I need to
Darling, you console me
When trouble surrounds me
When bad times have found me
Just reach out your arms and hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Darling please take me
In your arms of safety
Reach out your arms
And hold me
Hold me
When my feelings are showing
When my tears are flowing
Just reach out
Reach out and hold me
Hold me
Hold me
You know all of my needs
You fill them completely
You know
That you control me
I depend on
Your lovin'
Without you
I'm nothin'
So reach out
Your arms and hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Darling please take me
In your arms of safety
Reach out you arms
And hold me
Hold me
When life is demanding
When I need understanding
Reach out
Reach out and hold me
Hold me
Hold me

But Don't Despair
Despair, if you must –
But how's it going to pull you through?
Despair, when you trust
Naught since then there's naught to do.
Despair, should you thrust
Aside your pride, your self-esteem.
And so despair, if it's dust,
The only substance that you deem.
Despair, when a gust
Of slightly breeze can break your stance.
And do despair, when lust
Is your interpretation of romance.
But don't despair, if you can care
About the plight of any other being.
And you can focus on the help,
Support, and altruistic further actions
For the seeing. Be believing,
As despair will start receding
All around – simply since you found
A way to steer you clear
From this: the very cause of your despair!
So give to others; give them all a helping lift:
Despair, you'll find will disappear –
And that has got to be a well-deserved
And saintly gift!

Keep Me Warm
The one you love
The one you care for
Has told you everything
You ever lived for
The one you love
Just walked into your life
She said hold me and keep me warm
Hold me for ever and keep me from harm
Hold me and keep me warm
Hold me for ever in your loving arms
cos I love you
And I need you
And I want you here for evermore
Im just so crazy about you
The one you love
The one you prayed for
Brought you an angel
And the angel stayed for
The light of love just
Walked into your life
She said hold me and keep me warm
Hold me for ever and keep me from harm
Hold me and keep me warm
Hold me for ever in your loving arms
cos I love you
And I need you
And I want you here for evermore
Im just so crazy about you
The only one you ever lost your heart for
The one you cried a million times for
Your only dream has walked into your life
She said hold me and keep me warm
Hold me for ever and keep me from harm
Hold me and keep me warm
Hold me for ever in your loving arms
cos I love you
And I need you
And I want you here for evermore
Im just so crazy about you

Safe In The Arms Of Love
(pam rose/mary ann kennedy/pat bunch)
My hearts not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of living solitaire
Someday Im gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high-wire act I know
Someday Ill find a net below
Someday Im gonna be
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Chorus:
I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe in the arms of love
I wanna fall and know that love as caught me
Safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday Im gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe in the arms of love
Repeat chorus

Here Comes The Tears
Once I dreamed that love would come and sweep me up away
Now it seems lifes passed me by, Im still alone today
Here come the tears
Looks like itll always be the same
No one here to comfort me

All alone, no one cares.
So much to give to you all out there.

I Never Knew
It's really been a long time
Since I let somebody hold me
Since I felt safe in somebody's arms, emm emm
You were a good friend I could confide in
But after all the lies he told me
I couldn't let nobody in my heart
I was torn apart
All this time you've been right here
He's been doing nothing but wrong
And though the best thing in my life was
Here with me all along
Chorus
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never Knew
He kissed away my tears
And now they've disappeared
You make me feel SAFE in somebody's arms
You're the kind that can do me no harm
These questions everybody ASKS me
They say THEY'VE never seen me so happy
But that's a secret between you and me
They don't know nothing about us baby
Can't let up
Can't tell anybody that you're not from around here
They don't know that you're an angel
But now it's all so clear
Chorus
I never knew
Right beside me there was an angel
I never knew
You'd give my heart the wings to fly
Because of you
Everything in my life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never Knew
Is this a dream
Are you for real
You got me honey
Feeling things that I never thought I'd feel
You taught me love
Don't have to break my heart in two
That's just one more of those things
That I never, never knew
I never knew
Right beside me
There was an angel
I never, never knew (that my heart could fly)
It's all because of you baby
My life is changing
Turning it to
The kind of heaven that I never knew

Mothers Arms
I wish I was a child again,
Nestled in my mother's arms.
Just to be kept safe.
From the evils of this world.
Please mummy hold me.
Keep me safe.
I wish I could stay in your arms.
Please hold me.
Help me.
Please protect me mummy.
Please dont let them get me.
Hold me hold me.
Keep my safe in your arms.
Please defend me.
Dont let them get me again

Angel In The Rain
an angel lies on the ground in the rain
what are people doing to her
has to world truly gone insane
when i reach her she seems to be dead
i wanted to help am i to late
i look down and she slowly turns her head
i tell her she will be safe from the crowd
i lift her up and take her away
she looks at me before she passes out
while she is resting on my bed
she shivers and cries
i realise that her heart is sad
your safe here from any harm
i turn to walk away
then she suddenly grabs my arm
with eyes as water she thanks me
don't worry it's ok
why are u treating me so kindly
why would you help me like that
there has to be a catch
i tell her we share wounds of combat
on her face grows a smile
don't leave me alone
just stay next to me for a while
on my cheek she grants me a kiss
i hold her in my arms
and we fall asleep together like this

Tryin' To Get The Feelin'
Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
Could ya' maybe give me something?
'cause the feelin' is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that I've been
Up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around.... tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin'
But whatever I've done I guess I just haven't done it too good
'cause all that's left is yearnin'
Cause I been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around....tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, and low and everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
And I've been lookin', I've been lookin', I've been lookin'
I've been up, and down and tryin' to get the feelin'
I've been up ..I've been down...I've been tryin' to get
I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'
To get the feeling
I've been tryin' to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I'm going to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
And again...and again...and again...and again
Tryin' to get that feeling
I been tryin' to get the feeling again

One Last Time
Wish I could meet you one more time
To touch your face
Would last a lifetime
Wish I could
Hold you in my arms forever more
Wish I could kiss your lips
Might not b
E good for either of us
But I wish I could look into your eyes
I know it's too late
But I wish I could
You said to meet you half way
Have one last coffee
Two friends longing to be more
Going out separate ways
Circumstances prevent
Without you I am incomplete
But at least I'll know
That someone out there loves me still
Wish I could hold you in my arms
Keep you safe from harm
To stand by you through all adversity
Take away the sadness clouding your smile
I wish I could let you know
How much I love you
I wish I could
Say these words one last time

Better Man
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man
Go easy on my conscience
'Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame
Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man
Once you've found that lover
You're homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around
I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But Love is all around
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doin' all I can
To be a better man

As Long As You're Happy
Today i met a lonely girl
with a touch of magic
i've been waiting for someone like her
I'm so happy
She let's me know of her love
i give her all of mine
My Angel sent from above
i tell her all the time cause i'm so happy
Now what was once 2 lonely souls
tonight we sleep, arms in arms
i found someone to love and hold
i wonder if she's happy
Love is here, just in time
my dark world has begun to shine
wherever i go, i want her near
cause she's what makes me happy
How long will this love last?
still can't believe she's mine
So attractive with a past so tragic
i'll do anything for her just as long as she's happy
She seems to hold and kiss me less
i feel so cold, her lips are blessed
i hope she never strays from me
she's what keeps me happy
She wants to free, it's in her eyes
Away from me, let her decide
an eclipse is what she sees in mine
cause love has made me happy
Then came the day, i lost my heart
she's gone away, forever we part
I find myself back in the dark
where nobody can be happy
I would hold you in my arms
No other hand in my palms
i thought the love of ours would last
she wants me to be happy
Forget about me
life has been tragic
im'a wait in the rain for you
just to see you happy
I'm stuck in a world where demons grab me
They stab me
...but im'a wait in the rain for you
As long as you're happy
God Knows
Baby tell me why
why do you question all this love that i have for you
if u look into my eyes and make an exception
i will show you love like no one before
put your trust in me
allow me to be that
baby give me your hand to hold
cause the feeling that i have
are so complicated that words cannot explain there is only one who knows only god knows how much i love you god sees my heart and that he cares about you, god knows that im thinking of you and im longing for you oh how wish that you knew what god knows
Baby tel me why

Only Your Heart
Only your heart
Is safe with me
I will hold it in my hands
Cherish it forever
Never leave it alone
Or make tears flow
It won't get lonely
Never fly away
Only your heart
Has mine
To love
To treasure
Only your heart
I keep safe
From all harm
From every fear
Only your heart
Is what I am missing
What I long for
I need you
Only your heart
Has my love
My heart
Only you do I belong

If you luv me
If you love me...
you will never make me cry
If you love me...
you will look into my eyes
If you love me...
you will hold me in your arms
If you love me...
you will keep me safe from harm
If you love me...
you will say you understand
If you love me...
you will smile and hold my hand
If you love me...

Is This Love
(coverdale/sykes)
I should have known better
Than to let you go alone,
Its times like these
I cant make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
And I cant wait to see you again
I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call,
How can I tell you, baby
My backs against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me its alright,
cos I dont think I can take anymore
Is this love that Im feeling,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
cos its really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...
I cant stop the feeling
Ive been this way before
But, with you Ive found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day,
An I cant wait to see you again
So I can hold you in my arms
Is this love that Im feeling,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming,
This must be love,
cos its really got a hold on me,
A hold on me...
Is this love that Im feeling,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for...
Is this love or am I dreaming,
Is this the love, that Ive been searching for...

Despair in Love, Love in Despair
Why do i find solace in my loneliness
But find sorrow with those wit whom i share the same blood
Why do i hide behind these fake smiles of happiness
When this sorrow and unrest washes over my soul like a flood
Its pathetic how i'm laughing on the outside
Laughing at how everyting is all right
While i'm crying and dying on the inside
Not wanting anyone to see my sad sad plight
Why is it that i continuosly distance myself
from those who are or try to get close
I see love as nothing more than a drug
that people are addicted to the point of overdose
I am one who finds solace in despair
in sorrow, in sadness, in darkness
I am one who feels pain in love
I see it as evil like a vulture, instead of pure like a dove
Love can build, but it can also destroy
It takes away everything, all of the joy
Despair may seem like incarnated bitterness
But its there to comfort in the face of loneliness
I find myself wishing for the company of the feeling of melancoly
Its as if i can't function without it
Like a flower without an ounce of water
Could this feeling be, truly be love
I see that in the end, that i find myself in a paradox
A large cell with many locks
Two sides of the same coin
Love and Despair, Despair and Love
Despair in Love, Love in Despair

Bobby's Arms
(Dolly Parton)
Bobby's arms, they are warm when he holds me
Bobby's arms always comfort and console me
When I'm in his arms held tight
I know everything's alright
Just as long as I'm inside bobby's arms
Chorus:
Bobby's arms always welcome me inside
Bobby's arms always hold me when I cry
Bobby's arms are my shelter from life's storms
And I feel so safe in Bobby's arms
Bobby's arms, they are strong but they're tender
Bobby's arms reach for me and I surrender
When he reaches out for me, I'm never out of reach
And I always want to be in Bobby's arms

Return to Me My Lover
I rolled over into an uninhabited space in bed
No arms there to hold my head.
Seems like insomnia lay there, instead.
We lay there listening to the thunder clapping;
Rain on the windowpane tapping
Oh, give mercy to my longing soul!
I miss your heart beating next to mine,
Your lips to sip like wine.
Preoccupation turns into despair
Days and nights rise and disappear
Misery floods my heart.
Dearest, return to me when
Sun appears and disappears
