The One Who Counted

He was the one, the one who counted
Like a fool I let him get away
I turned my back, turned my back on a miracle
There it is - my big mistake
Spent a night, one night with a stranger
Someone born, born to be my king
He was the one, the one who counted
Should have been my everything
He was the one, the one who counted
Like a fool I let him disappear
Oh baby baby - circumstance confused me
Or else I didn't want to see
So many people don't want the dream to end
I was blind and settled for a kiss
He was the one, the one who counted
Opened the door to a life of bliss
He was the one, the one who counted
Opened the door to a life of bliss
I spend years with a nobody
Someone who never gets close
He floats along on the surface
Values convention the most
There can be many lovers
But none of them get to stay
He was the one who counted
I let him get away
Yes, I spent years with a nobody
Holding still so that I could survive
See my face – I put a price on happiness
Serve my sentence and not a life
I was the one, the one he loved kissing
I never worked out how I should respond
He was the one, the one who counted
And me? I didn't understand
He was the one, oh yes he was the one
And me? I didn't understand

I'll Be Home Soon

I'll be home soon
And the winter days
The cold cold winds
Will fade away
I'll be home soon
And the distant longings
The tired hearts, the untouched hands
And you and I will heal again
I'll be home soon
The empty glamour
Of new found places
And endless skies
Will fade away
And times of absence
The wide wide oceans, the cloud high miles
And you and I will heal again
So don't walk heavy under the moon
What we have, my love, is still in bloom
Rest your eyes, cherish eternal dreams
The wide wide oceans, the cloud high miles
Will come together, I'll be home soon
I'll be home soon
And the winter days
The cold cold winds
Will fade away
I'll be home soon
And the distant longings
The tired hearts, the untouched hands
And you and I will heal again
So don't walk heavy under the moon
What we have, my love, is still in bloom
Rest your eyes, cherish eternal dreams
The wide wide oceans, the cloud high miles
Will come together, I'll be home soon

Pause to Remember

He used to talk 'bout the intimate life
Knowing every little thing, nothing to hide
Meeting my glances across the room
The wonder of two hearts beating in tune
I knew each secret patch of his skin
I knew his going out and his coming in
But love that deep - forever it won’t last
Our dreams deceive us but one day pass
Maybe what we have wasn’t meant to last
Over our world an unreal glamour it cast
If we’re lucky, if we’re damn lucky, we get love for a while
Then pause to remember for the rest, for the rest of our lives
Remember we couldn’t believe the desire
The pull of emotion, the fever, the fire
At night together in that shaded room
We drowned in the pleasure, we clung and we swooned
Sighs of joy you breathed, cries of relief
From loving so hard, so tender, so deep
It couldn’t go on, so pure and intense
It couldn’t continue so rich and so dense
Maybe what we have wasn’t meant to last
Over our world an unreal glamour it cast
If we’re lucky, if we’re damn lucky, we get love for a while
Then pause to remember for the rest, for the rest of our lives
Your share of good fortune comes to an end
Only so much bliss angels will send
Relish the ecstasy as long as it lasts
Here comes the agony as things fall apart
Love comes for a season, a night or a day
A week, for a summer, till leaves start to fade
We blazed cross the night sky, I have no regrets
I think of you still, my love, and count myself blessed
Maybe what we have wasn’t meant to last
Over our world an unreal glamour it cast
If we’re lucky, if we’re damn lucky, we get love for a while
Then pause to remember for the rest, for the rest of our lives
