Lyrics


DISC 1


1. I CAN'T BE WITH YOU

Lying in my bed again
And I cry 'cause you're not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it's not clear

Put your hands - Put your hands
Inside my face and see that it's just you
But it's bad and it's mad and it's making me sad
Because I can't be with you

[Chorus]
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with you
Be with
I can't be with you

Thinking back on how things were
And on how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child
And now it's just farewell

Put your hands in my hands
And come with me - We'll find another end
And my head and my head on anyone's shoulder
'Cause I can't be with you

[Chorus]

'Cause you're not here - You're not here
Baby - I can't be with you
'Cause you're not here - You're not here
Baby - Still in love with you

Still in love with you (x6)


2. (THEY LONG TO BE) CLOSE TO YOU

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me - They long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me - They long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around

(x3)
Just like me - They long to be
Close to you

Close to you (x6)


3. EMPTY

Something has left my life
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused me strife
And it's not what I was seeking

Didn't you see me?
Didn't you hear me?
Didn't you see me standing there?
Why did you turn out the lights?
Did you know that I was sleeping?

Say a prayer for me
Help me to feel the strength I did
My Identity
Has it been taken
Is my heart breaking on me?

All my plans fell through my hands
They fell through my hands - On me
All my dreams
It suddenly seems
It suddenly seems

Empty (x7)
