So Close To Forever
SO CLOSE TO FOREVER
performed by: Debbie Gibson
written by: Deborah Gibson
Verse 1:
Jealousies
Misconceptions
Opinions
Outside advice
Fears of getting hurt again
Doubt in your eyes
Why do we listen?
Why do we care?
We almost made it there
Chorus:
We came so close to forever
Now what's done is done
There'll be no resurrection
How can life break its promises
I even made this promise to myself
So close but never there again
Verse 2:
Once a king
Now a prince
One step lower
On the list
It's not plain and simple innocence
'Cause we've been through more now
And it's left its scars somehow
CHORUS
Oh, oh, oh now what's done is done
hmmm...
It's close so close but never there again
oh, oh, oh

Without You
WITHOUT YOU
performed by: Debbie Gibson
written by: Deborah Gibson and Tatsuro Yamashita
Verse 1:
Couldn't go anywhere
Without feeling,
All alone inside
Could say I didn't care
But that would be a lie
I've seen a million faces
Passing through my eyes
But yours stays with me
And I hope you realize that....
Chorus 1:
Life wouldn't be the same without you
That whole world revolves around you
And when I've called on you
You were always there
Only a true friend can give me
All the joy each day you bring me
I have to tell you 'cause it's true
Life wouldn't be the same
Without you
Verse 2:
I could turn
I could smile
I could cry for a little while
'Cause I know you'll always put me in my place
It's this thing friendship brings
A little of everything
But most of all a smile to my face
And I've seen a million of them
Passing through my eyes
But yours stays with me
I just hope you realize that....
Chorus 2:
Life wouldn't be the same without you
That whole world shines all around you
And when I've called on you
You were always there
Only a true friend can give me
All the joy each day you bring me
I have to tell you 'cause it's true
Life wouldn't be the same
Without you

Verse 1:
Yes I know youre strong
Ive seen all you can take
But its wrong -
Even strong men get weak
Even steel can break.....
Even steel can break
I know you know
Your weakest points, baby
But you never wanna change
You can never be more than just satisfied
If you stay within safe range
Chorus:
Try
Why dont we try a little harder
Let the good outnumber the bad
Cry
Must i,
Must I cry any longer?
Can we try anymore?
Am I worth it -
After all weve shared.....
Verse 2:
Yes, you make people laugh
But soon.....
Every clown must go home
To his empty room
Youre not truly happy
Playing the fool
But cant you see
The fool is you?
If you dont.....
Chorus
After all
Bridge:
We know these things cant take away
The pain cant be denied
For every man who ever rose and flew
There was a man who cried
Even preachers must pray
Even salesman buy
Do whats right for you
Darlin, all you can do is try.....
Must i,
Must I cry any longer?
Can we try anymore?
Am I worth it anymore?
Why dont we try a little harder?
To let the good outnumber the bad
Must i,
Must I cry any longer?
Can we try anymore?
Can we try again?
Try again.....

Everytime I Close My Eyes
Everytime
I
Close my eyes
(2x)
Listen girl
I don't know where to start
But every word I say
Comes straight from the heart
I've been so wrong
I never meant to hurt you
Oh girl
I'm sorry
Of what I put you through
Girl I'd do anything for one more chance
(One more chance)
Cuz I want you back again
(Want you back again)
Chorus:
Cuz everytime I close my eyes
I see your face and I wonder
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me
Now that I've realized
I want you girl
And no other
Everytime I close my eyes
You're all that I see
You and I shared it all together
Each other was all we'd ever need
(All we ever need)
I thought that you would stay
With me forever
But I took for granted
The love you gave to me
I keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
Until the end
(Until the end)
Baby I need you back with me
Again
Chorus

When I Close my Eyes
When I close my eyes,
I can see my country,
Shining in the light, bright.
When I close my eyes.
When I close my eyes,
I see the trees,
Green against the skyline.
When I close my eyes.
When I close my eyes,
I see stars shining cross,
The wide beyond.
When I close my eyes.
When I close my eyes,
I see the sunset behind your hair,
Halo shining in the air.
When I close my eyes.
When I close my eyes,
I hear the ocean waves,
Crashing on the shore.
When I close my eyes.
When I close my eyes,
I see the moon glistening,
Through your eyes.
When I close my eyes.

Close Your Eyes
Oh come and take me away
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
Could my wish come true
Can you hear me now
I'm screaming it aloud
I wish you'd come somehow
Oh hear me now
I know that you
Have a lot to say
But can you
Pick some other day
To tell me anything but
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Just like a bird
You give me wings
Just like a star
You make me sing
It's unbelieveable
What you can do to me
And indescribable
How happy I can be
And I can't go on forever
Without us being together
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Right now
Just hold me tight
And forget everything
Tonight
Right now
Don't think at all
I'll be here when you need me
To catch you when you fall
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight
Right now
Just close your eyes
And don't say a word
Before it's over
Can you
Just close your eyes
For me
Tonight

Lyrics by dave taggart
Verse 1
Male: I picked a rose among these ancient walls
A garden made for love
But nothing grows at all
I heard your laughter and I almost knew
That wed share our life together
Female: and still surrounded by this fortress strong
Kept from your loving arms too long
Chorus
Both: if we just close our eyes and begin a new day
We could turn back the time to a world far away
Where our hearts beat as one through the passing of ages
Male: oh, we could turn back time start a brand new day
Female: if we just close our eyes
Verse 2
Male: I saw you walking with the sacred fire
A girl her eyes so wild with anger and confusion
The only spark of life to grace this land
Both: we shared this hope eternal (male whisper: eternal)
Female: and now it seems as though youve found your place
(male: found your place)
Lost my loving embrace
Chorus
Bridge
Male: Ill give more than forever
Female: our love will carry us away
Both: together well fly if we just close our eyes

Close My Eyes
I close my eyes,
And I picture us together
I close my eyes,
And see us being together forever
The person I am is because of you
You saw right through my past
My love for you will always remain true
Making my heart last
You were there from the start
You seperate light from dark
Close together or far a part
You are forever in my heart
I close my eyes,
And I picture us together
I close my eyes,
And see us being together forever

This I Promise You
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes.
And all that surrounds you,
Are secrets and lies.
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone.
The one you should call,
Was standing here all alone.
CHORUS
And I will take you in my arms,
And hold you right were you belong.
'Til the day my life is through...
This I promise you...
This I promise you...
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before.
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore.
I give you my word,
I give you my heart.
This is a battle we've won.
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes,
Each lovin' day.
And know this feeling won't go away.
'Til the day my life is through...
This I promise you...
Over and over I fall...
When I hear you call...
Without you in my life, baby.
I just wouldn't be living at all...
CHORUS
And I will take you in my arms,
And hold you right were you belong.
'Til the day my life is through...
This I promise you, baby.
Just close your eyes,
Each lovin' day.
And know this feeling won't go away.
Every word I say is true...
This I promise you...
I promise you...

ONE PERSON (Love Poem)
So close, that we are drowning,
So close, that we are still in madness,
So close, that we are invisible in our love,
So close, that we are one 10000 miles apart,
So close, that we do not have to talk to know,
So close, that our hearts beat like one heart,
So close, that we dream the same dreams,
So close, that we breathe the same air,
So close, that we are one person.

Almost
Mcalpin/toombs
Almost, you fell in love with me
Almost, you were my bride to be
But someone new came by
And you left me here to cry
Oh how close we were, almost
Almost, I heard the church bells ring
Almost, I heard the choir sing
Well, each promise that was made
You have broken and betrayed
Oh how close we were, almost
Almost, my every dream came true
Almost, I heard you say I do
But I hear now instead
All those unkind words you said
Oh how close we were, almost
Oh how close we were, almost
Oh how close we were, almost

Stay
Verse 1:
Don't you make me cry baby don't you ever leave me
Losin' you tonight takes me from heaven to hell
Dying is the final farewell
Even if you tried your heart never could deceive me
It will hurt my soul if you keep tellin' me lies
Love is more than tears in my eyes
Touch my hand let us do it all again
Hold me tight when I feel abused
Baby stay with me let the fire burn tonight
Touch my skin lovin' you is not a sin
Baby I've got more than dreams to lose
Don't you go away baby don't you blow out the light
Chorus:
Oh baby please stay
Don't close the door forever
Stay
We will share the dream(s) together
Stay
Baby if you leave me I will never ever
Take you back again
Verse 2:
She is on your mind I can see it in your blue eyes
Baby I'm so sure she's only waiting for you
Tell me what you want me to do
I'll do what you want don't you keep on telling new lies
I just wanna know if she has taken control
Baby don't you love me at all
Touch my hand let me feel it all again
Let me know you are mine to choose
Cos I want you so - baby I don't wanna fight
Touch my skin lovin' you is not a sin
Baby I've got more than dreams to lose
Don't you go away baby don't you blow out the light
Chorus:
Oh baby please stay
Don't close the door forever
Stay
We will share the dream(s) together
Stay
Baby if you leave me I will never ever
Take you back again

If you leave me I will never ever

We Fly So Close
we never realise just how close we come to disaster whether in love or everyday life...
My harbour lights are fading fast
Soon theyll disappear
Alone I sit in darkness
Hoping someone might come near
Though I wait, though I try
No one ever comes
And the feeling that I have flood over me
The river starts to run
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
There are places that you know you should not go
But some bridges just wont burn
All my life, though I try
I cannot change the past
And the ghosts that come back to haunt you
Make you realise at last
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close
My heart is racing much faster now
Life passes before my eyes
Somethings I see, they make me smile
Somethings they make me cry
So I look, so I try to find
A lesson I can learn
The passing of time hasnt changed my mind
And the ghosts I know return
You know we fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
We fly too close
We fly so close, you and I sometimes
Sometimes we fly so close,
Well never know how many times
We fly so close
We fly so close

Ill Be Over You
Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some peoples destiny
Passes by
There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
Thats how our love must be
Dont ask why
Bridge:
It takes some time
God knows how long
I know that I can forget you
Chorus:
As soon as my heart stops breakin
Anticipating
As soon as forever is through
Ill be over you
Remembering times gone by
Promises we once made
What are the reasons why
Nothing stays the same
Bridge:
There were the nights holding you close
Someday Ill try to forget them
Someday Ill be over you

I Cant Move
Watchin the sunshine, peekin over the skyline
Thinkin I gotta get mine, gotta try at least one time
Wanna get near it, close enough to fear it
Close enough to hear it, close enough to say
That I looked it in the eye and then I turned away
(chorus)
And Im not scared, but I cant move
Im not scared, but I cant move
Hangin out on the weeknight, lookin off the street light
Gettin into some fist fight, tryin to cling to my birth right
I wanna get near her, close enough to smell her
Close enough to tell her all the things that I wanna say
That I looked her in the eye and made her run away
(chorus)
And I dont care (dont care), but I cant move
I dont care (dont care), but I cant move
Layin up in the sofa, lookin out of my window
Pullin back on some endo, watchin breeze as the wind blow
Wanna get near it, close enough to hear it
Close enough to fear it, close enough to say
That I looked it in the eye and then it turned away
(chorus)
And Im not scared (not scared), but I cant move
Im not scared (not scared), but I cant move

Or cause you pain
I was just caught up in that lying game
But now those days are over
Ive changed my ways
And now Im counting the minutes
Im counting the days
Until you let me come back
Till you let me start
To find a new way
To get back into your heart
Girl Id do anything
For one more chance

cause I want you
I want you back again

Don't Get Close
Somebody give me some light
And I punch it into the heart
Somebody show me the end
And I try to push to start
Not trying to figure out
A better way, a better answer
But I keep finding all the problems
I've been looking after
You can't wander through the world
With nothing but a smile
I'll take your tongue for words
And use it to instill denial
Don't get close!
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
Don't get close!
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
Maybe I should look away
Before I ruin this
Maybe I should pick the time
Before I pick the place
Love into war the things that emulate then penalize
But I don't want to go until you want to finalize
Don't get close!
You don't know me and you'll never know!
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
Will take you there
Don't get close!
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry!
Will get you somewhere
Rivalry!
You abstained the part
My vision's all but shot
I have the best confession
Always go for all the lessons
Equations anti-news
Stay out and be a deuce
I didn't want to be
The undeniable so loose so free
Don't get close!
Don't get close!
Don't get close!
Don't get close!
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
I see what's in all the conflicts
Constrict just to fit in, squeeze in,
I can insist, closed fist
Remember?!
Remember?!
You take the breath of life
It never made much sense
I have the worst possession
What I won't put soul in session
Old man and be abused
Because this is so confused
I only want to be
Left alone and rot away
Don't get close!
Don't get close!
Don't get close!
Don't get close!
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]
Don't get close! [Better stay away!]

Such a strange peculiar breed
How its shining in its armour
Made of gold and made of steel

Like a generations need
Speaking happy words of promise

Moving to the right
Big generator
Moving through the night
Second nature sacrifice
Even if you close your eyes
We exist through this strange disguise
Verse 2:
I have heard it said to someone
Or maybe it was me
There is a reason to experience
Psychedelic so we could see
To be growing up before us
Like the black and white of love
Be the focus
Be the chorus

Never Gone
I really miss you
There's something that I gotta say
The things we did, the things we said
Keep coming back to me and make me smile again
You showed me how to face the truth
Everything that's good in me I owe to you
Though the distance that's between us
Now may seem to be too far
It will never seperate us
Deep inside I know you are
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life (yeah)
Never gone
No no no
I walk alone these empty streets
There is not a second you're not here with me
The love you gave, the grace you've shown
Will always give me strength and be my cornerstone
(Somehow)
Somehow you found a way
To see the best I have in me
As long as time goes on
I swear to you that you will be
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close)
Everyday (everyday)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye
I know you will be forever in my life (in my life yeah)
Never gone from me
If there's one thing I believe (I believe)
I will see you somewhere down the road again
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
Always close (always close)
Everyday (everyday)
Every step along the way
Even though for now we've gotta say goodbye (yeah yeah)
I know you will be forever in my life (in my life)
Never gone, never far
In my heart (in my heart is where) is where you are (you are)
Always close, everyday
Every step along the way
Never gone, never far
In my heart is where you are
