Counting Down lyrics

Girl I can see you've been crying
I know your feeling alone
I want you to know I've been trying
To show you what you've never known

Baby, just open the door into your life
Just say goodbye to your loneliness tonight

Chorus
Where ever you want to be, I'll take you Whatever you want to see, I'll show you
So baby believe in me, I'll make it right
It's gonna be a long night

Yesterdays - been and gone
When we were young

Remember when
We started out as friends
We were one and the same
Don't even think that I knew your name
That was then
So many things have changed
But looking back on the days
It's good to see that we are still the same

Sometimes I wish that innocence would never end
Although memories will fade (no, no)
Time will never take them away

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, Darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you understand?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
I believe it's meant to be, Darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Say my name
Sun shines through the rain

Don't come back
If you're only gonna break me down
Don't be like that
'Cause I've given you my heart
Don't play it

After all is said and done
I believed I was the one
Love is not a game of hit and run
Baby

Chorus
Don't come back
Till the day you love me
Say goodbye
Ain't nobody gonna see me cry
I'm the only one and girl if you can't see that
Don't come back

In my mind

I live in a house of cards
Made of people I know
It shelters me every day

My house is a part of the world
Where live and let love
Is all we have to say

And if you want you can go there
All you have to do is believe and

Chorus
Open your eyes and you can see them
The little truths are scattered all around
In the middle of the madness
In the place where quiet can be found

Ready or not this is my secret
I've been loving you so long
I know you're surprised I tried not to tell you But this love is way too strong

Talk to me just tell me what it takes
Oh girl

Chorus
I'll whisper your name
I'll tell you you're special
Say you're the only one in my life
I'll do anything
I'll promise forever girl
That you're the only one in my life

Who do you think I am
Baby I'm your man
I'm the back you lean on when you need a friend
Now I see that I'm
Blackened by a lie
It's just imagination I'll tell you why

When you call on the phone
Late at night no-one's home
Ain't enough to justify
Your boyfriend's got a creepin' eye

Chorus
Baby don't believe the trash they tell you
Cause I could make a story like that

Oh as far- as far as I remember
You've been here- walking next to me
Just a friend- I thought was all I needed
Now I realize what a fool I've been

Here I am- the greatest of pretenders
Always looking- but too afraid to see
That this feeling going on inside me
Is a love that was always meant to be

God I wish I was your lover
Why did I have to wait

He don't love you, no¡­.

If I was your man
I'd be here every day
If I was your man
I wouldn't treat you that way
He's never home, he never calls
How can you tell me he's yours
If I was him and you were mine
Girl you'd know it for sure

If you were my girl
I'd give you it all
Why can't you see he's faking

Chorus
He don't love you, no.
But he don't want anyone else to have you

Can you believe my luck
Can you believe our love
Everything you do is somehow just so amazing

You take me to the clouds above
With you the only way is up
Baby in your eyes I'm helpless you drive me crazy

I know your face like it were part of me
And your embrace is just to good to believe
Everytime

Chorus
Everytime you feel the rush, Everytime it's only us

Never want to be alone at night
Need someone there to hold me tight
That's the way it's always been, yeah
May be you that I been thinking of
Doesn't mean I want to be in love
No matter how it seems babe

So hold it right there
Give me a chance to explain
Baby don't be thinking I'm in love with you

Chorus
If I only had the heart to tell you the way it is

Take it back
To the place where we used to be
Girl can't you see I'm the one
Who'll be there with you through it all Whenever you call

Baby tell me why
Oh why did we fall apart

Chorus
Don't you blame it on your heart
I just want things back- back to the start
I'll be waiting 'til you come
Baby come
Baby come back to me

Baby now
When I close my eyes you are there

Every time I look into your eyes
Every time you call my name- yeah
Every time you throw a smile at me
Every time I feel the same

That this is forever
That I'm not afraid
Nothing's gonna take it away

Chorus
Love is a fire
Love is an ocean
Love is the way you set my heart in motion
Love is a higher burning desire
And the fire must be real
'Cause love is all I feel

Tell me why I'm so blue
Why I'm losing myself inside
Tel me what can I do
Never thought I'd have tears to hide
I know
I'm missing you
I know it's true
Now I'm just counting down the hours
Now I'm just counting down the tears that I cry
'Cause I always thought we'd be forever
Now I'm just counting down the days since you were here

Conversations so hard

If you cannot depend on the one that you love
Depend on me
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
'Cause I been waiting
For the perfect line and I'm just in time
I'm not one to judge wrong from right
I just like the way you're dressed tonight
I don't think I've ever seen you here before
We ain't got no time to socialise
It's there in your eyes

Everybosy wants to feel better
When the pain just won't go away
But I can feel the temperature rising
There's a new day on the horizon
Can't you see I love you too much
Got a heart that won't let go
I can feel a change in the weather
Like the still before the storm
'Cause I can feel the temperature rising
There's a new day on the horizon
Can't you see I love you too much

When you're cold, when you're down and lonely
Deep in need of a helping hand
Come to me, let me take your hand in mine
We can fly away
In your heart, know that I'll always hold you
I'll show you love, love like you've never known
You will see there'll be no need for you to cry
If you only believe

Then we can fly
Then we can fly (we can fly) away
Then we can fly

I never cared for simple words of tenderness
I never thought my life could be as sweet as this
But now I know I want to spend it all with you baby

I drive my car and think about you constantly
I lie awake and I want to feel you next to me
What can I do? my life's only complete with you baby
Oh don't you know

You are the one I treasure
A part of me forever

CHORUS:

I wanna be, just where you wanna be
I wanna be, just where you wanna be

7 lonely nights
7 lonely days
I been thinking 'bout you girl
In just as many ways

Running out of money
Running out of time
Feeling kind of empty
Like a cheap valentine

Now I'm used to everything I want
But now I will give you everything you need

Baby I been thinking about you
7 lonely days are on my mind

Sometimes things can get crazy
But that's no reason to go run and hide
I haven't heard from you lately
The days and nights just keep on passing by
Well I guess that it's over
But I have no fear in letting go
I gotta look to the future
It's time to face the music
And make it on my own, so

Don't cry for me baby
I'm operating on a natural high
Don't you cry for me baby

How can I
Believe that my
Heart could find someone like you
You see
The real me
No in betweens
I had nowhere to hide
You took away the walls around me
Made me feel safe to share the truth
I see the heavens open
A heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer
You touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true

Ooh oo - ooh yeah
Ooh oo - ooh

Never before have I seen you look so blue
I can't find a cure and nothing comforts you
The light at the end of the tunnel
Doesn't shine at the end of the day
Everytime you cry
Save up all your tears
I will be your rainbow
When they disappear
Wash away the pain
'Til you smile again
I will be the laughter in your eyes
Every time you cry

Where's does love go
When you're not in love
How does it feel
When nobody wants it

Tell me does it float around
Like a little lost cloud
When a heart is not it's home

What does love do
When it's not being used
It's feeling like it just don't belong

Tell me is it laying awake
In the middle of the night
Just thinking 'bout what went wrong

I never cared for simple words of tenderness
I never thought my life could be as sweet as this
But now I know, I want to spend it all with you, baby.

I drive my car and think about you constantly
I lie awake and I want to feel you next to me
What can I do? - my life's only complete with you, baby
Oh don't you know

You are the one I treasure
A part of me forever

And I'll be there with you

If I take you back in the room
Spin you around, my baby
Take off your clothes, all of mine too
Lay you down, wanna lay you down
We can be discreet, nobody has to know
(woah) We don't need no sheets
We can just close the door my baby
I can take you places you ain't been before
As soon as we get there baby, you'll be coming back for more

ooh, baby
How you make me feel like you do
You're so cool
A lifetime's worth my waiting

You baby
When you know the lovin' is true
You're so fine
That I just can't stop dancing
Baby tell me can you feel it
Don't put up a fight
Destiny is waiting in the starlight

[CHORUS]
Baby if I had one wish
It would be to dance like this
And to hold you tight, all night
And always be with you

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands

I wanna be just where you wanna be
I wanna be just where you wanna be
Seven lonely nights
Seven lonely days
I been thinking 'bout you girl
In just as many ways

Running out of money
Running out of time
Feeling kind of empty
Like a cheap valantine
Now I'm used to everything I want
But now I will give you everything you need

Baby I been thinking about you

Pretty girl
You got the pout
You're steppin' out from daddy's world
But beauty falls
For richer boys with richer toys
No love at all
Silverbells
Can't make yoiu feel the way a lover's kisses do
(The way a lover's kisses do)
Let it go
And feel the passion grow inside when I'm with you

ooh Mary, Mary
Dance in my garden tonight
(Dance in my garden ooh Mary, Mary)

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby do you recognise me?

Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine
My darling dear
Love me all the time
I'm just a fool
(just a fool)
A fool in love, with you
Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore
Lovely for ever and ever more
(I'm just a fool)
I'm just a fool
(oh what a fool)
A fool in love with you
Yes in love with you

I fell for you
And I knew
The vision of my love's loveliness

I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I'm all out of love
What am I without you?
I can't be too late
To say that I was so wrong
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart

I saw it somewhere in a magazine
Or maybe saw it playing on a TV screen
Something about love - Now I forget it
Maybe it was how not to regret it
Oh yeah
I heard it playing out on the radio
It said when you're in love you gotta take it slow
But baby with you I can't beat about it
I just got to make you believer it
Oh yeah

So I'll
Send it in a letter baby
Write it on the wall

You can say love's forever
And find it never stays
In you I've recovered
The one thing that must remain
I'm tired of a world undone
I've figured out you're my setting sun
It's cruel
The way I'm needing you
I guess I'll play the fool
It's my heart, not my mind and it's taking over
Cruel
Suddenly it's true
No longer can I choose
It's in you I'm defined and there is no other

Shoo-wap, do-do-do, do-do
Shoo-wap, do-do-do, do-do
Ooh, LA, it proved too much for the girl
(Too much for the girl)
She couldn't make it (Oooh)
Now she's leaving her life that she's come to know
She's leaving (Leaving, Ooh)
On a midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I said she's goin'
She's goin' back to find a simpler place in time

Baby I know you've been missin' me
(And he knows you've been playin' around)
We make a special kind of chemistry
(Every time you've been comin' down)
Oh if it's wrong to be lovin' you
(Why does it feel so good to me?)
Baby tell me what I gotta do
(To lay it down and to make you believe)

We rocked the cradle let it fall
Leave him now or lose it all

(Everybody C'mon)
Let it out, the weekend's on the mind
Fill it up, let's blast the jam tonight
While we're cruisin' around in the streets
(cruise those streets let's lis...)
Let's listen up for the party beat
(Party beat so slap...)
So slap the funk let the bass beat around me tonight
Everybody take it to the top we're gonna stomp
All night
In the neighbourhood
Don't it feel alright

Long road ahead and ride on forever
The dusty red can clear away your mind
There's no need for better
Now she's there when all of my thoughts are gone
The scent of her hair can carry me along
There's no need for better
Now, paperback fairytales are nothing compared to falling for her
How can I stand and watch her walk away

When she's taken my heart
She's taken my soul

Baby, baby what can I do?
'Cause I just can't get over you
Like an Elvis song on a 45
I'm just so lonesome I could die
If love is a fever
Then I need the potion
My baby don't care
Oh listen now
Oh-ah my mamma said I gotta shake you outta my head
Good girls are one dime a dozen
Gotta get me one instead
Oh-ah my mamma said I gotta shake you outta my head
Ooh yeah

She's common like a rose
Everybody knows
She'll get you to look
You can look but you'd better not touch
Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping
Poison Ivy come a creeping around
She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin

Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy
Late at night while you're sleeping

Well I heard about the someone you've been seeing
And it's everything you dreamed that it could be
There's a battle in my head
And I'm wondering just how to say things right
I've been a friend so long
This feeling can't be wrong
It's the truth I tried to hide
What if I said I loved you
What if that's all that I could say
What if I said I'd hold you
I'd give you all you needed

Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
'Cos I am so afraid
That we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars
The stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess I'll learn to take
The good with the bad
Each night I ask the stars up above
(I ask them why)
Why must I be a teenage in love

Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say
Say you will
Stay
Well, your daddy don't mind
(Daddy don't mind)
And your mamma don't mind
(Mamma don't mind)
If we have another dance
Yeah Just one more, one more time
Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say you will
Say you will

Won't youi place your sweet lips
To mine

Some days I wonder could I be a better man
I open up my eyes to see myself and who I am
Been searching inside to find a reason in my day
And I realise that reason in my life has gone away
I blame it on myself she's gone
Give a little, take a little, never gave it all
Maybe if I held her close and loved a little more
I'll be the better man she wanted me to be

Ooh, yeah, Oooh
Ride away, to a better, better day
Ride, ride-a, ride away
I recall a better time
When we opened up our mind to dreaming
But this life can dull the shine
And the day to day can be so trying
Then it's time to let it go
Let the world just pass below
And we'll....
Ride away
Leave behind the troubles for a better day
do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Ride away

Can I just surrender now
As the day is passing over
There's a common wind that always brings us here
To a door that's always open
But I just can't step inside
Could it be that I just need to try
I believe that it's killing me
Just to tell you haw I'm feeling
Why do I always have to be
Be the one, be the one to hide
I believe that you are to me
My wall of relity
