I’VE GOT THE BLUES FOR CHRISTMAS
I’ve got the blues for Christmas cos you’re not here
And the news I hear spells it loud and clear
Got your presents and your books
Your shirt’s hanging on the hook
Just wish you would hook me, hook me onto your love
Oh, hook me, hook me onto your love – oh….
I’ve got the blues for Christmas cos you’re not here
I’ll console myself and fight back these tears
Your sweaters aren’t worn
And this heart is pretty torn
Torn without your love, I said torn without your love – oh…
Oh (Lord) aren’t we in trouble in these days
This time of year don’t we feel anger and shame – who to blame
People out there still hungry now
Keep them away from the darkness, the darkness, the darkness
I’ve got the blues for Christmas, it’s another year
The songs I hear bring peace and good cheer
Gave away your presents and your books
Shirt’s still hanging on the hook
Why don’t you send me, send me some of your love
Please send me, send me some of your love - oh oh…
It’s another year…..

Moving Mountains

MOVING MOUNTAINS
Moving mountains for you, well I don’t know
I’ve been giving you all I can for sure
If my love is not enough, then time has been wasted
Moving mountains for you, sorry I can't do.
Moving mountains for you, well I will try
I've been loving you so long that is true
Please take my heart and soul, and if that is not enough
Moving mountains for you, sorry I can't do.
Why am I always in this same situation?
I give you my best and you ask for more
Why can’t we just be happy together?
Don’t make me walk out that door… oh no…
Moving mountains for you, well I will see
This romance isn't what it should be
If our love is strong enough then time will show the way
Moving mountains for you, sorry I can't do - moving mountains for you
Oh no - moving mountains for you....oh no, oh no....

So we were lovers

So we were lovers those days when we loved so intensely
The kindness you showed and how we both cried
I couldn’t give you what you wanted what you needed
So sorry my love, I wish I could put it right
So sorry my love, I wish I could put it right
Time it goes so fast, time it goes so fast
I was discovering the world
You wanted me and I wanted you
But this selfish heart wanted more – of this life.
So we were lovers those days when we thought we could change the world
Look at us now worn by the years craving renewal in our bones
So sorry my love, I wish I could put it right
So sorry my love, I wish I could put it right.
Time it goes so fast, time it goes so fast
I was discovering the world
You wanted me and I wanted you
But this selfish heart wanted more – of this life.
So we were lovers we felt that life was miles away
See us now in our weathered skins and shadows in our eyes
There’s love in my heart and a place for you there
There’s love in my heart and a place for you there
Time it goes so fast, time it goes so fast
I was discovering the world
You wanted me and I wanted you
But this selfish heart wanted more – of this life, of this life
Of life.

Patch of Light

A Patch of Light
Hold on to that patch of light
It will be there when you have to fight
Hold on to that thing called love
When life is dark it will fall from above
Hold on to that flicker of hope
It will be there when you’re on a tight rope
Hold on to that thread of gold
When love is gone your heart is bruised and cold
Oh hold on baby cos’ you’re nearly there
There’s a dream for you follow
There’s enough love around to share
Hold on when you can no longer give
And you feel that there is no one out there who cares
I’ll be there for you when you’re too tired to think
There for you when your heart starts to sink
My love will get you through the day
I’ll keep your sadness at bay..
oh…
I’ll keep your sadness at bay.
Hold on to your love deep within
It will be there to wash away your sins
Oh hold on to that twinkle in your eye
When you looking for someone to help you get by
Oh hold on to that strength in you
It will be there when you’re feeling blue
Hold on to your laughing heart
When you’re with the one it will play its part
Oh hold on baby cos’ you’re nearly there
There’s a dream for you follow
There’s enough love around to share
I’ll be there for you when you’re too tired to think
There for you when your heart starts to sink
My love will get you through the day
And make you believe in this world again
I’ll keep your sadness at bay..
oh…
I’ll keep your sadness at bay.
