Chris De Burgh - A Spaceman Came Travelling - lyrics

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star...
He followed light and came down to a share,
Where a mother and a child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid...
Then the stranger spoke, he said do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear,
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air...
And it went la, la...
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round...
And just before dawn at the paving of the sky,
The stranger returned and said now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry...
And it went la la... this song will begin once again
To a babys cry...
And it goes la la... peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child...
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear that song again,
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here,
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry...

Chris De Burgh - Africa - lyrics

I hear the drums echoing tonight,
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation,
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight,
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars
That guide me towards salvation,
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient memories,
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you",
Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you,
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
I'll bless the rains down in Africa,
Going to take some time to do the things we never had;
Wild dogs cry out in the night,
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company,
I know that I must do what's right,
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti,
I seek to cure what's deep inside,
Frightened of this thing that I've become,
Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you,
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
I'll bless the rains down in Africa,
Going to take some time to do the things we never had;
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you,
Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you,
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do,
I”ll bless the rains down in Africa,
I'll bless the rains down in Africa,
I'll bless the rains down in Africa,
I'll bless the rains down in Africa,
I'll bless the rains down in Africa,
Going take some time to do the things we never had...

Chris De Burgh - A Rainy Night In Paris - lyrics

Its a rainy night in paris,
And the harbour lights are low.
He must leave his love in paris
Before the winter snow;
On a lonely street in paris
He held her close to say,
Well meet again in paris
When there are flowers on the champs-elysees.
How long she said how long,
And will your love be strong,
When youre across the sea,
Will your heart remember me? ...
Then she gave him words to turn to,
When the winter nights were long,
Nous serons encore amoureux
Avec les couleurs du printemps...
And then she said and then,
Our love will grow again.
Ah but in her eyes he sees
Her words of love are only words to please...
And now the lights of paris
Grow dim and fade away,
And I know by the light of paris
I will never see her again...

Chris De Burgh - Another Rainbow - lyrics

Breaking bread and drinking wine, talking deep into the night,
Just dreaming dreams and making plans forever,
We have been the best of friends, and always said since way back when,
We'd change the world with mad ideas together;
Another rainbow to follow with you,
Another dream that may never come true,
It is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,
Another rainbow where gold may fall;
So we went our different ways, and though I had my darkness days,
I sailed the stars and I found what I was looking for,
You became a jack of trades, ace of all and king of none,
With hands that hurt from knocking on so many doors;
Another rainbow to follow with you,
Another dream that may never come true,
It is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,
Another rainbow where gold may fall;
And there will always be these moments, when you can turn to me again;
Another rainbow to follow with you,
Another crazy dream that just might come true,
'Cos it is better to have tried in vain than never try at all,
Another rainbow where gold may fall.

Chris De Burgh - A Woman's Heart - lyrics

A womans heart is filled with passion,
A womans heart is filled with lust,
If you dont believe that these things happen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;
A womans night is filled with dreaming,
Of the perfect man who may not be you,
If we dont see what shes been missing,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make,
She wants to get near to you,
Dont turn her away,
She wants to get through to you,
She wants to say;
Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry,
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
And I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.
A womans day is filled with longing,
For a little romance and company,
If we dont look or just dont listen,
Could be the biggest mistake that a man can make;
A womans heart is yours forever,
She will be true, to the one in her life,
If we dont give her love and affection,
Could be the biggest mistake, that a man can make.
She wants to get near to you,
Dont turn her away,
She wants to get through to you,
She wants you to say;
Give me your night,
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
And I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.
She wants to get near to you,
Dont turn her away,
She wants to get through to you,
She wants you to say,
Give me your night
And I will show you my passion,
Give me your lust,
And I will drink you dry....
Give me your dreams,
And I will show you a lover,
Give me your heart,
And I will hold you close,
And I will love you till the day I die.

Chris De Burgh - All Along The Watchtower - lyrics

"There must be some way out of here,"
Said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief,
Businessmen, they drink my wine, ploughmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth;"
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us now,
Who feel that life is but a joke,
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late;"
All along the Watchtower, Princes kept the view,
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants too,
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl;
"There must be some way out of here,"
"There must be some way out of here..."

Chris De Burgh - All The Love I Have Inside - lyrics

When I wake up in the morning she is there,
With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair,
And when I hold her close beside me,
Well it feels so good,
That Id like to stay here all day long,
If theres a way that I could;
And when we go downstairs and start off onto the day,
Just one more cup of coffee, and Im on my way,
We may not have perfection,
But were halfway there,
And I know its sentimental,
But I just wanted to say,
That all the love I have inside me is for you,
All the love I have inside me is for you,
All the love I have inside me is for you;
And when Ive had a heavy day and Im going home,
She gives me time if she sees I want to be alone,
Ah but when the evenings over,
And we go to bed,
Here comes the same old feeling,
Its like a song in my head,
Well all the love I have inside me is for you,
All the love I have inside me is for you,
All the love I have inside me is for you;
Heres my love song to you, you...

Chris De Burgh - Always On My Mind - lyrics

Maybe I didnt love you quite as good as I should have,
Maybe I didnt hold you quite as often as I could have,
Litte I should have said and done,
I just never took the time;
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;
Maybe I didnt hold you all those lonely, lonely nights,
And I guess I never told you, Im so happy that youre mine,
If I made you feel second best, Im so sorry, I was blind,
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind;
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died,
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied,
If I made you feel second best, Im so sorry, I was blind,
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind.

Chris De Burgh - A Celebration - lyrics

Dont worry darling,
Thats not forever in my eyes,
Just want to hold you for a while,
Nobody knows how it will go,
Spending this night together;
I can hardly believe its true,
I can hardly believe its you,
A celebration...
Turn it on and let it fly away,
And lets see what we can do,
Oh little darling, its really something,
When its me and when its you;
Im going to give you everything I have,
Until the night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?
Ive got a feeling,
Ive got a feeling in my heart,
Wed be together from the start,
Something inside you just cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;
I can hardly believe its true,
I can hardly believe its you,
A celebration...
Turn it on and let it fly away,
And lets see what we can do,
Oh little darling, aint you something,
When its me and when its you;
Im going to give you everything I have,
Until the night is through,
Did you ever believe in love?
Did you ever believe in love?
Well this is it!
Something inside you cannot hide,
Is waiting the time to show it;
And I can hardly believe its true,
I can hardly believe its you,
A celebration...
And this is it!

Chris De Burgh - Even Now - lyrics

Even now,
when I think of all the summers that have gone,
and all the friends and lovers I have known,
still there is a memory that will not let me go,
And I see your face,
and suddenly its just like yesterday,
a photograph that never fades away,
taking me to a place I thought I had left behind.
Even now, I wake up in the night because your name,
has been wispered in my dreams,
and I still miss you, even now.
And I wonder why,
after all the years that we have been apart,
recently an aching in my heart,
is bringing you back to me,
are you out there calling me?
Even now, I think of how you're living every day,
because there is someone who can say
I still miss you, even now.
Even now, I wake up in the night, because your voice,
has come wispering in my dreams,
and I feel that you are near,
and I call your name,
and I believe that there will be a day,
when I will hold you once again,
cause I still miss you, even now.
What I'm trying to say is I still love you, even now.
Even now.....
