I'D LIE FOR YOU (AND THAT'S THE TRUTH)

Boy:
I'd never tell you one lie, I'd never let you down
I'd never leave — I'd be the one who'd always be around
Girl: Baby give me a chance…
I'd pull the sun down from the sky to light your darkest night
I wouldn't let one drop of rain fall down into your life
Girl: Put your heart in my hands…

Baby, believe me I could never do you wrong
And I would never paint your world blue
And if sometimes it seems I must have lost my mind
I might be crazy — but I'm crazy 'bout you

Both:
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I do it al for you — if you just believe in me

Boy:
Just take a look in my eyes, you'll see a love that's blind
Just take a hold of my hand and I'll take you to paradise
Girl: Ain't a star that's to far…
Your every wish will be a wish that I will make come trough
And if you want the moon, I swear: I'll bring it down for you
Girl: Let me into your heart…

Girl: Believe me, baby, got your name carved on my soul
'Cause you're the only one that I'll give it to
Boy: Go let 'em say that I'm a fool to act this way
'Cause if I'm crazy — I'm just crazy 'bout you

Both:
I'd lie for you and that's the truth Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I do it al for you — if you just believe in me

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wire for you — if you just believe in me

Girl: And you'll never see a day I'll ever break your heart
You'll see the sky fall down before it ever gets that far
Boy: I'll show you heaven ev'ry second that you're in my arms
Baby I'm crazy — but I'm crazy 'bout you....

Both:
I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wire for you — if you just believe in me

Boy: I'd walk across the wire for you
Girl: Move mountains if you want me to
Boy: I'd walk across the fire for you
Girl: Do anything you asked me to

Both:
I'd lie for you — and that's the truth
Do anything you asked me to
I'd even sell my soul for you
I do it al for you — if you just believe in me

I'd lie for you and that's the truth
Move mountains if you want me to
I'd walk across the fire for you
I'd walk on the wild for you — if you just believe in me̾

Boy: I'd lie for you and that's the truth.....

AMNESTY IS GRANTED

Love's an hourglass
It goes out wide then it comes in closer
Time ticks away
It drifts away, leaving empty sanded shoulders… gonna cry on

You said that love would last forever
You said that love would last
Neither one of us will ever surrender…
Ever surrender

There is a time, oh, there's a place
A change of heart, about face
This is about love
It's about forgiveness…

Tell me now, tell me like it is
You don't have to give
Amnesty is granted

Ooh, what's done is done for everyone
Come on baby, let's start again right now
Amnesty
Amnesty
Amnesty is granted

Hmm, oh, I've been thinking about you
Lord knows I've been thinkin' 'bout you, baby, thinkin' 'bout you
(amnesty is granted)
Oh tell me now
Come on baby, and tell me like it is
(amnesty is granted)
You know no one has to give
I've been thinkin' bout you babe
(amnesty is granted)
I'll start again, come on, come on
(amnesty)
(amnesty)
It's all right....

NOT A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE

Not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and you'll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking…

I can still see you standing there
Midnight wind blowin' through your hair
Remember kisses sweet in the salty air
When love was forever

It was almost like a movie, the way you said goodbye
You must have spend a lot of time rehearsing each and every line

Now there's not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down
Listen and you'll hear the sound
Hear the sound of a heart breaking, breaking

Not a smile left on my face
The ending is just too sad to take
And there is not a dry eye
Not a dry eye in the house....

Act one: The story's just begun
Act two: I fell in love with you
Act three: Knew it was meant to be
Act four: You don't love me no more

Not a dry eye in the house
After loves curtain comes down....

LEFT IN THE DARK

You don't have to sneak in the door
Just come on into the room
I've been lying in our bed in the dark all alone
And I've been waiting — I've been waiting for you

There's been no reason to move
It's been as still as a tomb
I needed you oh so badly tonight
But I guess you had better things to do…

I should have known that it was coming to this
But I must have been blind
I bet you still got a trace of his love in your eyes
And you still got his eyes on your mind…

Down in my soul — down in my soul I know

I know that you love me, there's no need to talk
I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof
And there are no lies on your body, ooh, so take of your dress
Oh, I just want to get at the truth...

But there are so many things
That I've just got to know
You tell me who!
You tell me where!
You tell me when!

But don't tell me now—I don't need any answers tonight
I just need some love so turn out the lights
And I'll be left in the dark again....

ORIGINAL SIN

I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking — then I'm gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin...

You can dance forever, you got a fire in your feet
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough!
You can fly and never land and never need to sleep
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough!

It's not enough to make the nightmares go away
Not enough to make the tears run dry
Not enough to live a little better every day

Everything that they taught us was nothing but lies
Everything that they brought us was nothing but bribes
(but it'll all be over now)

All I wanted was a piece of the night
I never got an equal share
When the stars are out of sight and the moon is down
The natives are so restless tonight…
