The Best Of lyrics

We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone

Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends (can we still be friends)
Heartbreak's never easy to take

When the road gets dark and you can no longer see
Let my love throw a spark and have a little faith in me

And when the tears you cry are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try baby and have a little faith
Faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Oh
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith
Faith in me

Among the many muted faces
You try to find me in the spaces
You're drawn to my song (oh)
You only move to
Keep from sinking
You close your eyes
As if you're thinking
Afraid all along
That in my eyes
You're revealing
You'll find out
What you're needing

Nothing but pennies
In my pocket
Nothing but faith
To keep me warm
Well baby,
Wouldn't I be broke without it
Tell me, how much
For your love?

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again

Once, I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon, my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
In ways that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why Im so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hill
Even told the golden daffodils
At last, my hearts an open door
And my secret loves no secret anymore

One, two, three, four, five

Hey, hey
The clouds are away
There's straw for the donkeys
And the innocents can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

My, my
The sun is pie
There's fodder for the cannons
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely
All sleep safely

And all the world is football shaped
It's just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste

For a time I felt my faith it must be hiding
Searching through the sky
Hoping to find a way, a way
To get me through the day
Wonder where I belong
Is this where I should stay

Chorus:
You Lift me up when I am falling
You're my friend when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world,
Top of the whole wide world
Yeah you always been believing
Give my life a whole new meaning
