I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
'Pearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you

And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I couldn't get away

When you close your eyes and go to sleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
When you open up your heart
And the truth comes out

You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep

When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping in the spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets
That you just can't hide

When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Everything about you is a mystery

I rolled out this morning
Kids had the mornin' news show on
Bryant Gumbel was talkin' 'bout the fighting in Lebanon
Some senator was squawkin' 'bout the bad economy
It's gonna get worse you see, we need a change in policy

There's a local paper rolled up in a rubber band
One more sad story's one more than I can stand
Just once how I'd like to see the headline say
"Not much to print today, can't find nothin' bad to say", because

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today

I'll come home this evenin'
I'll bet that the news will be the same
Somebody takes a hostage, somebody steals a plane
How I want to hear the anchor man talk about a county fair
And how we cleaned up the air, how everybody learned to care
Whoa, tell me

Nobody was assassinated in the whole Third World today
And in the streets of Ireland, all the children had to do was play
And everybody loves everybody in the good old USA
We sure could use a little good news today

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town
Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single buildin' down

FADE
Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain
We sure could use a little good news today

Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

Time...
I've been passing time watching trains go by

All of my life
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be someone waiting home for me

Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you

All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past

All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last

If I found the place
Would I recognize the face

Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make

I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time

And it's telling me it might be you

All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before

Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life

It's you, it's you
I've been waiting for all of my life

Maybe it's you (it's you), maybe it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
Maybe it's you, maybe it's you
I've been waiting for all of my life

You smell a familiar perfume
From a girl you knew long ago
On a holiday weekend, oh-oh, oh-oh
And you know

That you're there once more
In some forgotten story
From your private library
Of things that you'll remember

Then it comes back again
Those old emotions
And it brings back, and it brings back
Those old emotions

There's a taste in the sea air
And the gulls cry overhead
You walk and sink in the wet sand, oh-oh, oh-oh
And you know

That you're there once more
In some forgotten story
From your private library
Of things that you'll remember

Then it comes back again
Those old emotions
And it brings back, and it brings back
Those old emotions

Then it comes back again
Those old emotions
And it brings back, and it brings back
Those old emotions


Then it comes back again
Then it comes back again
Those old emotions
