Standing Together lyrics

Have I told you I love you
Or has it been a while since I said I did?
Have I told you htat I care
Or have I said something I can`t face?
These are thoughts that go through my mind
To make sure that my love stands the test of time, and
When I think of you loving me
Yes, I know it`s a love that was meant to be

Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together

If I took you for granted
Well, that will never ever happen again
You tought me love is an action
More than a lover, you were my best friend
You brought me to a love so new
And the joy that I feel, I owe it all to you
When I think of you loving me
It`s a love that I know that was meant to be

Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together

Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
We will be floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together

With open ears and a listening heart
Tears fell, and we rejoiced inside
Our new love grew side by side, hand in hand
And slowly we began to stand

Standing together is you and me
Living in love is our destiny
Floating on like an endless sea
We will be standing together

People hand in hand
Future in the plan
Promises we make
Sometimes fade away
Like footprints in the sand

Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand

But life was meant to live
And love was meant to give
No-one ever said
That you could depend
On whispers to the wind

Love's a game of chance
I've come to understand
What my greatest fear is
Someday you'll disappear
Like footprints in the sand

So I will build my castle on the sea
And pray that you'll come back to me
And there I'll wait faithfully
For your return, your return

Love's a game of chance
I've grown to understand
Hope will keep you near
She will reappear
Like footprints in the sand
In the sand, in the sand

They say the neon lights are bright on broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the women treat you fine on broadway
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

They say that I won't last too long on broadway
I'll catch a grey hound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till i'm a star on broadway

Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding
understanding anywhere
We're lost in a masquerade

Both afraid to say
we're just too far away
From being close together
from the start
We tried to talk it over
but the words got in the way
We're lost
inside this lonely game we play

Thoughts of leaving disappear
Every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons
that we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade

Oh, what a night
Now don’t you feel like flyin’
Everything’s right
You can’t blame me for tryin’

Love, look up there
The stars are all aligned
Now don’t you think it’s time, ho, ho, ho

Closer to me
I want to feel your breathing permanently
‘Cause darling, I’m not leaving here
Till I get what I’ve been waiting for
Some twenty-five or more
That’s all I need, oh

Kisses in the moonlight, sugar
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Most of our days
We get so busy runnin’
Lost in a maze
We’ve got no time for fun and dreams

Every now and then
A dream is real
And this is how it feels, yeah, yeah

For once in your life
Forget about tomorrow
Tonight is the night
Our worries seems so far away

You’ll hold me in your arms
So tenderly
I only want a taste
Of your sweet, sweet, ooh

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me
Oh, fly away with me

Don’t let this night end right now
‘Cause in your arms is where I need to be
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
Kisses in the moonlight
And you know
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, hey
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Oh, kisses in the moonlight, ho, baby, ho
That would make this night complete
There have got to be
Oh, kisses in the moonlight, sugar
Fly away with me

Oh, kisses in the moonlight

Strollin' in the park, watching winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark, seein' lovers do their thing
That's the time I feel like making love to you
That's the time I feel like making dreams come trueOh baby
When you talk to me, when you're moanin' sweet and low
When you touch my hand and my feelin's start to showIn a restaurant, holdin' hands by candlelight
When I'm touchin' you
wanting you with all my mightStrollin' in the park , walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When you talk to me , when you're touching me
Making my dreams come trueStrollin' in the park , walking in the dark
That's the time I feel like making love
When I talk to you , when I'm touching you
Making my dreams come true

Ooh... ooh... ooh...
Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...

If you're askin' me to say
Livin' life without you, girl, is alright
If you really want to know
I'd have to say it's dangerous to my mind

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Let me love you all the time
Lady, love me

Yes, I'm askin' you to stay
Remembering it used to be so right
If you're askin' for the truth
I'd have to say I won't believe it's goodnight

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Lady, love me

Doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo...
Doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo...
Doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo...
Doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo... doo...

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Love me, lady, all the time

Let me love you one more time
Hold me closer, now you're mine
Lady, love me one last time
Love me, lady
Oh, love me, lady

Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...

So before you turn and walk away
Just let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me one last time
Lady, love me (Love me, lady, all the time)

Let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine
Lady, love me all the time
Lady, love me (Love me, lady, now you're mine)

Let me love you one more time
Feel your heartbeat close to mine

I THINK I FINALLY KNOW YOU
I CAN SEE BEYOND YOUR SMILE
I THINK THAT I CAN SHOW YOU
THAT WHAT WE HAVE IS STILL WORTHWHILE
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT LOVE'S JUST LIKE THE THREAD
THAT KEEPS UNRAVELLING BUT THEN
IT TIES US BACK TOGETHER IN THE END()IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE MY DREAM'S REFLECTIONS
IN YOUR EYES, FOUND THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS
IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE THE REASONS WHY OUR LOVE'S ALIVE
IN YOUR EYES, WE'RE DRIFTING SAFELY BACK TO SHORE
AND I THINK I'VE FINALLY LEARNED TO LOVE YOU MOREYOU WARNED ME THAT LIFE CHANGES
THAT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WHETHER TIME WOULD MAKE US STRANGERS
OR WHETHER TIME WOULD MAKE US GROW
EVEN THOUGH THE WINDS OF TIME WILL CHANGE
IN A WORLD WHERE NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
THROUGH IT ALL OUR LOVE WILL STILL REMAIN()
IN YOUR EYES, I CAN SEE THE REASONS WHY OUR LOVE'S ALIVE
IN YOUR EYES, WE'RE DRIFTING SAFELY BACK TO SHORE
AND I THINK I'VE FINALLY LEARNED TO LOVE YOU MORE

You're my heartbeat of life
And you fill up my mind
I wanna stay close, close to you

It's the old lover's spell
That you weave, oh, so well
Oh, it's a hold, holdin' me
Oh, you got to see

I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you

I get so hypnotized
When I look in your eyes
Oh, you can control, control me

I feel all butterflies
When I'm right here by your side
Whoa, I need your touch
Can't get enough, love me
Oh you've got to see

I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you

Spending every moment of my life
Within your gaze, my forever love
To have you and to hold you
So you never ever need to use
your crystal ball to know
Where I'll be, always

I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you

All I want to do is
Hang around you

I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
All of my life around you
Hang around you

All I want to do is
Hang around you

I just want to hang around you
Every day and night
(Every day and night)
All of my life around you
(All of my life around you)

If I had to live my life without you near me
the day would all be empty
the nights would seem so long.
With you I see forever of so clearly
I might have been in love before.
But it never felt this strong.

Our dreams are young
and we both know they'll take us where we want to go.
Hold me now Touch me now.
I don't want to live without you.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you.
You ought to know by now how much I love you.
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love.

If the road ahead is not so easy, our love will lead the way for us like a guiding star. I'll be there for you if you should need me. You don't have to change a thing, I love you just the way you are. So come with me and share the view, I'll help you see forever too Hold me now Touch me now. I don't want to live without you.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you. You ought to know by now how much I love you. One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you. You oughta know by now how much I love you. The world may chage my whole life through but nothing's gonna change my love for you.

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere, waiting for me
If I could fly birds on high
Then straight his(her) arms I'd go sailing

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon

**I know beyond adoubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

**Repeat

When I think of all I put you through
Always taking you for granted
I never saw it from your point of view
Blinded by the double standard

You were tryin' to tell me all along
Something in the love was missing
You said "It's not too late to get it back"
But I just wasn't listening

If I knew back then what I know now
If I understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision

Now I see it in a different light
I've been losin' you in stages
Give us one more chance
I'll get it right
Girl , you're gonna see some changes

If I knew back then what I know now
If i understood the what , when , why and how
Now it's clear to me
What I should have done
But hindsight is 20/20 vision

Takin' time to catch up on some history
Tryin' to figure out what went wrong
with you and me
And it doesn't really matter
what's been before
But I know there's no future
with you walkin' out that door
