SHELTER FROM THE COLD

chorus

Gimme shelter from the cold tonight
Shelter from the cold
Help me make it all alright
And give me shelter from the cold

verse 1

I walk thru life like in a dream
But inside it's all so wrong
I'm not the guy that I seem
I'm so weak when you are strong
And when you ask me what I think
I can't sleep the whole night long
It's you who's strong and me that's weak
And every-things gone wrong.

chorus and key change

verse 2

I walk thru life like I'm a ghost
Can you tell me what am I
I can't see straight for all the tears
And sometimes I want to die
And you are like a rock to me
And give me shelter from the storm
And be with me thru all our days
And give me shelter from the storm

chorus etc

YOU ARE TO ME

IN the days when I was down and out
When I couldn't take no more
I knew I would hear you say
Just do it, just once more
When all the world laughed at me
And children saw my shame
It was always you I turned to
And you loved me just the same

chorus and key change

You are to me
A bright and shining star
Did you know
How beautiful you are ?

How many nights I've called your name
And cried the whole night long
And you held me and kept me safe
You taught me to be strong
And now the tides of time have changed
And we walk the bright broad way
With you forever at my side
You will always hear me say

chorus etc.

ONE MORE TIME

One more time
Just one more time
Just one more time
Say you are mine
Just one more time

One more day
Just one more day
Just one more day
Say that you'll stay
Just one more day

One last time
Just one last time
Just one last time
Give me a sign
Just one last time

One more night
Just one more night
Just one more night
To make it alright
Just one more night

Just once more
Please just once more
Just once more
Don't walk out the door
Please stay

MY LOVER

The morning light creeps thru the window
Lights your sleeping head upon the pillow
Your eyelids flutter in the faint glow

chorus and key change

I watch you now my lover
Your arms across the covers
Wake and watch the dawning
See the beauty of the morning
The beauty of this moment
The wonder of this day

The cities noise is stilled this morning
Too early for the peoples calling
I kiss your sleeping head as you are stirring

chorus etc

Your smile lights makes the room still brighter
We watch as dawn makes he world grow brighter
I hold you like there is no tomorrow

chorus etc

BUT IT DIDN'T LAST

You'll not forget when the sun shone down
Upon our days of heaven
You'll remember all the days of light
That just would not come again

chorus and key change

But it didn't last
And she went away
To the arms of another
And the sunny days
They slipped away
To another lover.

You'll remember when the dawn was bright
In the mornings of our glory
Can you forget the feel of nights
The start of our life story

chorus etc

And now you've gone those days of ours
Lie scattered like autumn leaves
And you've left behind the golden hours
And all I have left are tears

chorus etc

HOLD ME

Hold me
Hold me won't you hold me
Hold me
Hold me oh so tight
Hold me
Honey won't you hold me
Hold me
Hold me tonight

Love me
Honey won't you love me
Love me
Love me tonight
Love me
Honey won't you love me
Love me
Love me tonight

Stay with me
Honey won't you stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me
Honey won't you stay with me
Stay with me
Stay all night

AND NEVER CALL ME BY MY NAME

The days they pass like scudding clouds
Like breaths of wind thru silent crowds
And every day like clouds and dreams
Thoughts pass thru my days in endless streams

chorus and key change

And never call me by my name
We have other names we know
And like the children we once were
Our hopes and dreams may grow

The nights they pass like ghosts of days
Locked together in love's many ways
Our lives they pass as lifetimes do
Yours like me and mine like you

chorus etc

Through depths of days we'll hear our call
Love can't be touched but love is all
And when the dark nights feel so long
We will know that our love stays strong

HAND IN HAND TO THE END OF TIME

I have waited oh so long for you
And now my dreams are coming true
Here you are by my side tonight
And I know it just feels so right
Tomorrow will bring another day
And all our cares will drift away
We two hand in hand in the dawn
And never again to be alone

chorus and key change

Hand in hand to the end of time
I am yours and you are mine
Others may just stand and stare
But we're in love and we don't care

We'll dance thru our lives you and I
Our spirits will learn how to fly
In dreams I waited just for this
And in my dreams I taste your kiss
You have set my poor heart free
I know that you love only me
Tonight tonight you'll feel it too
I have waited all my life for you

chorus and key change

Hand in hand to the end of time
I am yours and you are mine
Others may just stand and stare
But we're in love and we don't care
