Michael Learns To Rock Album

I've seen my chances come and go
how they escape me I'll never know
I've had the answers there in my hand
I just didn't understand
Now Lady Luck has smiled at me
and given me another try
to meet up with my destiny
to find a way to fly
Chorus:
I wanna do something right for once in my life
before it's too late and I give up the fight
Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears
because I did something right
I see you standing there by the door
I get the feeling we've been here before
Watching emotions like runaway trains
we shouldn't miss again
But Lady Luck has smiled at me
and given me another try
to meet up with my destiny
and do something right
Chorus:
I wanna do something right for once in my life
before it's too late and I give up the fight
Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears
because I did something right
I don't wanna sit back waiting
as I watch my ship go by
tomorrow won't wait for you and I
I've seen my chances come and go
how they escape me I'll never know
I've had the answers there in my hand
now that I understand

The Milky Way upon the heavens
is twinkling just for you
and Mr. Moon he came by
to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
and for the people everywhere
gonna show them all we care
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around the world
they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars
there would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders
could see you here this way
they would hold the Earth in their arms
they would learn to watch you play
Chorus:
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild
but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child
Keep you away from the world so wild

Building it up tearing it down
the circle goes round and around
Lessons are learned and bridges burned
I'm hoping the tide will turn
I'm gonna change direction
just for my own protection
A flag is up I see the sign
It's just a matter of time
The wind will blow and the trees will bend
nothing is left in the end
It isn't my desire
to set the world on fire
Chorus:
I'm gonna come back when the war is over
when you're ready to make amends
Fill up the cracks and find the pieces
then put them all back again
I see you there in the air
nothing to break your fall
The damage is done you've had your fun
who is gonna pay for it all
It isn't my desire
to set the world on fire
Chorus:
I'm gonna come back when the war is over
when you're ready to make amends
Fill up the cracks and find the pieces
then put them all back again
I'm turning my back as the walls are falling
staying away till the dust is gone
I'm under attack and a voice is calling
better stay away something's wrong

Don't know what to say now
don't know where to start
I don't know how to handle
a complicated heart
You tell me you are leaving
but I just have to say
before you throw it all away
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain
Don't know what you're thinking
to me it seems quite tough
to hold a conversation
when words are not enough
so this is your decision
and there's nothing I can do
I can only say to you
Chorus:
Even if you want to go alone
I will be waiting when you're coming home
if you need someone to ease the pain
you can lean on me, my love will still remain

After some time I've finally made up my mind
she is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her I love her
and I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done
I find her standing in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
but she's crying while she's saying this
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
twenty five minutes too late
Against the wind I'm going home again
wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends
But still I see her in front of the church
the only place in town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her wedding dress
but she cried while she was saying this
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
twenty five minutes too late
Out in the streets
places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
inside my head
still I can hear the words she said
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
twenty five minutes too late
I can still hear her say.......

I never met another one
who made my life so much fun
'cos every moment I'm with you
I never know what you're gonna do
Every day you change your mind
do something different all the time
Life is a game you wanna play
twentyfour hours a day
It's funny how
Chorus:
You keep me running going and coming
I like the feeling it's out of control
There's no denying you send me flying
I'm hoping you catch me when I fall
You drive me crazy but I don't mind
someone like you is hard to find
I like the way you're moving around
In your world everything is upside down
Every day you change your mind
do something different all the time
Life is a game you wanna play
twentyfour hours a day
It's funny how
Chorus:
You keep me running going and coming
I like the feeling it's out of control
There's no denying you send me flying
I'm hoping you catch me when I fall

I was almost about to lose my faith
Was still dreaming but feared it was too late
But then you came along to my surprise
and stole my heart before my very eyes
Chorus:
You took me right out of the blue
simply by showing that you love me too
only by giving me your everything
with a love so true you took me out of the blue
I was wondering what love was all about
I was trying but couldn’t work it out
But then you came along to my surprise
and made my frozen mind come alive
Chorus:
You took me right out of the blue
simply by showing that you love me too...
You let me out of the darkness
you brought me out in the sun
I think you must be the only one for me
'cos you took me
Chorus:
Right out of the blue
simply by showing that you love me too
only by giving me your everything
breathing air below my wings
You took me right out of the night
simply by filling my heart with light
only by giving me your energy
with a love so true you took me out of the blue

No more crashing sounds only the wind
There's still fire in the ruins
I hear your shivering voice in my ear
Do you think it's over now
do you think that there is nothing left to fear
is the devil surviving somewhere inside you and me
I just can't believe it when I look into your eyes and I
Chorus:
I go swimming in your ocean of love
Forgetting everything in your ocean of love
The fighting is no more it's the end of the war
I think it must be over now
This time I think the madness finally left our world
Or is the devil still hiding somewhere inside you and me
I just can't believe it when I look into your eyes and I
Chorus:
I go swimming in your ocean of love
Forgetting everything in your ocean of love
I go swimming in your ocean of love
Forgetting everything in your ocean of love
I go dancing in your ocean of love
Remember nothing in your ocean of love
Innocent eyes they make me lie
swimming around in an ocean of love
Innocent eyes they make me high
floating around in an ocean of love

It's late at night they've al gone home
so finally we're all alone
The waiter says we're closing very soon
Still the night's so long
don't wanna say goodbye to you
I've got plans for us tonight
baby that's right
Chorus:
I wanna dance all night long
all alone with you girl
'cos I'm ready for a sweet romance
all alone with you girl
We share the last glass of wine
our hearts are beating in perfect time
wondering who will be the first to say
You know it feels alright
why don't you hold me tight
Chorus:
I wanna dance all night long
all alone with you girl
'cos I'm ready for a sweet romance
all alone with you girl
I know tomorrow comes a day
Don't think about what they will say
Just close your eyes and dream away in my arms

Can I act like an angel
if I live like a jerk
Can I keep on disguising
Can I make believe
that I don't deceive
No..no..no
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
Dirty money in the left hand
While the preacher's shaking my right hand
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
When I'm riding on top of
the wave of success
Will I lose my devotion
Will I fail to see
what I used to be
oh..oh..oh
Chorus:
Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the frontdoor...
I'll have to carry on
as two persons in one
