CONTRACT OF A KISS
Is this the time to say goodbye?
Without a reason that makes no sense.
Are you content to go on wondering why?
If that’s your path what are the consequences?
Do you feel alive or alone?
To feel that way must seem so strange.
Your choice no one will ever condone.
That route is always fraught with danger.
CHORUS
Are you a friend or foe?
I’ll never know.
What we had you just can’t dismiss,
our contract of a kiss.
When will this nightmare ever end?
My childish fears have been reborn.
Why do I try to comprehend?
The answer’s clear if I wait till morning.
Will you have memories of me?
Or think of me as another mistake?
You’ll never know how great we could be.
Make the choice and stop your hesitating.
CHORUS
Are you a friend or foe?
I’ll never know.
What we had you just can’t dismiss,
our contract of a kiss, of a kiss!

NOW OR NEVER
I know a special place,
its right here, looking at your face.
The love light in your eye,
is something no money can ever buy.
But making time for the one you kiss,
rarely makes it to a list.
All the things from day to day,
seem to steal me and get in the way.
CHORUS
It’s now or never,
I’ll endeavour to do whatever.
I need to do to keep me and you together.
All that we share,
shows we care, oh it’s so rare.
That I can be who I am,
I’m richer than a millionaire.
You’re unique, one of a kind,
when out of sight, always in mind.
Fall alone, together we stand,
I draw strength from just holding your hand.
So all the time that we spend apart,
is such a challenge for the heart.
All that you’ve done how can I repay?
Where there’s a will there must always be a way.
CHORUS
It’s now or never,
I’ll endeavour to do whatever.
I need to do to keep me and you together.
All that we share,
shows we care, oh it’s so rare.
That I can be who I am,
I’m richer than a millionaire.

THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES
We’ll all remember,
everyone knows your name.
You’ll be here forever,
our fortune from your fame.
You bring alive a feeling,
the excitement of a chase.
You catch me when my tears are falling,
you bring a smile onto my face.
CHORUS
And when you work your magic,
the atmosphere survives.
I listen to the music,
it’s the soundtrack of our lives.
Your legacy is plenty,
it’s proof you’ve made your mark.
And though the room’s now empty,
you’re the light within the dark.
I feel you’ve been a part of my life,
for years and years.
You never know how rich you are,
until what you have disappears.
CHORUS
And when you work your magic,
the atmosphere survives.
I listen to the music,
it’s the soundtrack of our lives.
We are not pretending,
how much we know and love the score.
You are never ending,
you will live forever more.
Forever more.
You will live forever more.

IF ONLY I’D…
If I knew then what I know now,
I’d be a different face in the same old crowd.
Have played the fool more than I’d allow,
hardly something of which I’m proud.
Sorry seems such a hollow word,
said too much it just sounds absurd.
I didn’t do what I promised to,
had no courage to see it all through.
Yeah if only I’d...
Lessons learnt are not learnt at all,
if you don’t read the writing on the wall.
Have never listened only heard,
I’ve grown so fat eating all my words.
Your door was open your phone was on,
why didn’t I see what was right and wrong?
You can’t regret all that you’ve done,
you’ve beat them all but what have you won?
Yeah if only I’d...
CHORUS
“If only I’d” the worst words that
anyone can ever say.
I should have said them long ago,
and then I’d have changed my way.
Wishing I could have my life again,
take more time to become my own friend.
All I want is a second chance,
same old players diff’rent dance.
Yeah if only I’d...
CHORUS
“If only I’d” the worst words that
anyone can ever say.
I should have said them long ago,
and then I’d have changed my way.
Yeah if only I'd...

TUNNEL VISION
So is it fate or fatal,
that I pretend to be normal?
Deprive me of experience, how does that make sense?
You get splinters if you’re sitting on the fence.
I didn’t mean to confuse you,
I maybe last but I’m not a loser.
You’re the one who sets the pace, I don’t want to race.
At least my taking part means that I’m saving face.
CHORUS
So how long can I go on,
this road with you?
Why does the journey seem so long?
We can’t go through this all again,
your tunnel vision it causes the pain.
So can we live life by the letter?
You don’t need to be ill to get better.
Pride it comes before a fall, consequence is small.
We’re all diff’rent so how can one size fit all?
My thoughts they are a distraction,
I hold them back to prevent complication.
You look but can you really see, what you do to me?
You hear but you don’t listen to what I want us to be.
CHORUS
So how long can I go on,
this road with you?
Why does the journey seem so long?
We can’t go through this all again,
your tunnel vision it adds to the pain

Live for today,
and let your heart lead your way there.
For each and every day,
there’s no need for dismay.
Yes live for today,
and let your fears fall away love.
Please listen to what I say,
and keep dark days at bay.
For when those times surround you,
and all seems lost and cold.
I’ll be there beside you,
with a love that’s greater than gold.
So live for today,
and put the cares of the past far away now.
‘cause the future is on its way,
and there as one we’ll stay.
When sadness may seem your only friend,
in a world of sorrow and pain.
Through the clouds the sun will shine,
and I'll be there and you'll be mine.
And when your nights are lonely,
and you feel so empty and cold.
I’ll be there beside you,
with a love that’s greater than gold.
So live for today,
and follow loves guiding way.
Yes live for today, my love.
Live for today, my love.
