be snow

love is stronger
i still really love you
love is stronger than pride

I'd wash the sand off the shore
Give you the world if it was mine
Blow you right to my door
Feels fine

Feels like

Feels right
So fine

You're mine
Like paradise

it's strong still
can't pull us apart

what we have is strong and tender
in the middle of the madness

and i always wanted you to know

and this is everlasting

Clean heart
clean and sharp
clean dream
bad start

he loved his brother and his sister
luke and tony called him mister
they made him feel much more
like a man
he loved his daddy though he never told him
and how he loved his mother
he loved
he loved her like an italian

little janet said you look so fine
so fine
something in his smile
made them feel like strangers
and then he straightened his belt
with a lover's touch
and he said i'm gonna bring home
the things that are out of your clutch

seemed like the hottest night in summer
a heat that makes you feel like dying

somewhere in the next block
there was a baby crying

finger on the trigger for the years to come

and as the moon slid up over the restless streets
sirens mocking and people stop to see
their greedy eyes don't realise
he's someone's son
finger on the trigger for the years to come

finger on the trigger for the years to come

Tell me the secrets of your soul
give it up and let go

give it up
give it all
give it up
give it all
give it up
give it all
give it up
give it all

i give you it all
i couldn't give you more if i tried
i give you my love
i give you everything i feel inside
i give you my life
it isn't a lie
i tell only the truth
i give you my love
i think i'd even die for you

surrender your love
surrender your love to me
surrender your love
surrender your love to me

tell me the secrets of your soul
give it up and let go

i give you my love
i couldn't give you more if i tried
i give you it all
i give you everything i feel inside
i give you my life
it isn't a lie
i tell only the truth
i give you my love
i think i'd even die for you

surrender your love
surrender your love to me
surrender your love
surrender your love to me

give it up
give it all
give it up
give it all
give it up
give it all
give it up
give it all

You shed a shadow on my life
shed a shadow on a love
took the shelter out of my life
took the shelter of a lie

i could see it in your restless eyes
the truth i was hiding
the truth you could not disguise

but i never thought i'd see the day
i knew i'd need a miracle to make you stay
i knew
i needed
a miracle
and i never thought i'd see the day

you put a shadow on a love
took a shelter of a lie
took the shelter out of my life

i wish you could shelter me
shelter me now
i need a miracle
and i never thought i'd see the day
