I'm gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' 'Cause we're only here For a little while Today I stood singin' songs and sayin','Amen' Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young He spent his life workin' hard to chase a dollar Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done Made me start thinking, "What's the hurry, why the runnin'? I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style Take my time and I take it all for granted 'Cause we're only here for a little while" Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' 'Cause we're only here For a little while Let me love like I'll never see tomorrow Treat each day as though it's borrowed Like it's precious as a child Oh, take my hand Let us reach out to each other 'Cause we're only here for a little while Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' 'Cause we're only here For a little while Gonna hold who needs holdin' Mend what needs mendin' Walk what needs walkin' Though it means an extra mile Pray what needs prayin' Say what needs sayin' 'Cause we're only here For a little while

Before I reach the sky above I'll stretch my hands forever young Catching the rain In the middle of a summer storm There's a fire on 41 Sirens fading to a hum The only escape Takes me right back where I started from Oh, life won't be here long But heaven knows I've had it all 'Cause I was yours for a while I was yours for a while If I could let my demons go If time could mend a broken soul Maybe one day I could bring love to a world so cold Oh, life won't be here long And heaven knows what I'll become But I was yours for a while I was yours for a while

Long time since I've seen your smile But when I close my eyes I remember You were no more than a child But then so was I Young and tender Time carries on I guess it always will But deep inside my heart Time stands still Stay for awhile Well, it's good to see your smile And I love your company Stay for awhile And remember the days gone by For a moment it can seem Just the way it used to be Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts Clear summer days Warm and lazy Long walks, long talks, after dark We vowed we'd never forget Now it's hazy Time takes its toll And time alters our view It would be nice to Spend some time with you Oh, stay for awhile Well, it's good to see your smile And I love your company (Oohhh) stay for awhile And remember the days gone by For a moment it can seem Just the way it used to be Stay... (Please stay) Stay, stay, stay... One, two, one, two Stay for awhile Well, it's good to see your smile And I love your company (Oohhh) stay for awhile And remember the days gone by Just the way it used to be Stay for awhile Oh, it's good to see your smile And I love your company Won't you stay with me for awhile And remember the days gone by For a moment it can seem Just the way it used to be (The way it used to be. be... The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aahhhhooooh Now, now, now, now... hoohhh...)

Leaving it all unsaid Keeping it quiet instead You know that I won't explain 'Cause I've grown to need this pain You tell me it's good for now I'll heal but I don't know how Safe in the way we touch But it hurts to feel this much And they say that it goes so I hope that it shows You are all that I've known for a while And I'm coming up slow and I'm thinking of home But you're all that I've known for a while Spending our nights awake And silent for both our sake Hold me until I'm strong 'Cause I'll miss this when you're gone And they say that it goes, so I hope that it shows You are all that I've known for a while And I'm coming up slow and I'm thinking of home But you're all that I've known for a while I'd tell you but I can't Please don't make this hard Time is all I want So speak the words I won't And they say that it goes, so I hope that it shows You are all that I've known for a while And I'm coming up slow and I'm thinking of home But you're all that I've known for a while

Walking on high hopes Living on tight ropes Running with your feet off the ground It used to be magic But now its only getting you down I miss the sunshine That was a good friend of mine Can't stand it as my life goes by Waiting for something But nothing's gonna happen tonight Walking down a one way road And you still don't know which way to turn Just hold on Just hold on When you're feeling like you can't go on Just hold on Just hold on Riding life's roller coaster You're making the most of What you can and what you can't have Hoping for someone To show you to another pain Walking down a one way road And you still don't know which way to turn Just hold on Just hold on When you're feeling like you can't go on Just hold on Just hold on When you think you can't make it Just hold on Just hold on Just hold on Just hold on When you're feeling like you can't go on Just hold on Just hold on Just hold on

Be nice to me Don't you understand when I get home I need to breathe Don't try to comfort me cos I'm not home Right now I can feel The heat within you fire breath so hold me down I'm not responsible for my actions now, oh no (Chorus) Cloud nine is a place Like a smile on your face Or a warm embrace I'm picking up all the pieces No particular time When I feel on cloud nine Don't tell me your sorry I can hear you listening at my door But I wont let you in You can huff and puff and blow my door down Right now (Chorus) Cloud nine is a place Like a smile on your face I'm picking up all the pieces No particular time When I feel on cloud nine I'm on cloud nine, the cuckoo and me are doing fine Though I cough and splutter and I scream at night You'll not get this fire alight I'm on cloud nine (Chorus repeat)

A friend I had once told me Such an unusual story Of a man who did breathe in But never did breathe out This tale reminds me of you Though a different shade of blue You cannot always take and never give This is not how to live You gotta breathe in and out You gotta spread a little love all around Though I don't know this for sure Just another knock at my door A sprinkling of an inkling Underneath an apple tree I'll tell you when I find out And show you what it is to breathe out A natural progression lesson Messing up your mind You gotta breathe in and out You gotta spread a little love all around You gotta breathe in and out You gotta spread a little love all around I feel in you another way to be Yeah, yeah, yeah I watch as you breathe over me Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm breathing Like a tale on Jackanory The end to this unusual story Is a breath upon a window pane, so come on Step out of the rain, yeah yeah Thought I'd like to think this were true You've become a deeper shade of blue In my eyes, this comes as no surprise You've nothing left to give, no You gotta breathe in and out You gotta spread a little love all around You gotta breathe in and out You gotta spread a little love all around Breathe in and out Spread a little love Breathe in and out You gotta breathe in and out You gotta breathe
