Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Photographs and memories
all the love you gave to me
somehow it just can’t be true
that’s all I’ve left of you . . . .
But we sure had a good time
when we started way back when
morning walks and bedroom talks
oh how I loved you then!
That was then, this is now
Let me prove my love, girl
I’ll make you proud
That’s what my heart yearns for now - love and pride.
This burning heart of mine
it still burns after all this time
This burning heart in me
won’t let me be, no won’t let me be
Our love is alive and so we begin
foolishly layin’ our hearts on the table, stumblin’ in
Our love is a flame burnin’ within
now and then fire light will catch us stumblin’ in.
You can’t start a fire, you can’t start a fire without a spark.
This gun’s for hire, even if we’re just dancing in the dark.
You took me higher and higher baby
It’s a living thing.
The statue got me high
A monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
We’ll make it I swear
Oh-oh livin’ on a prayer
Say a prayer for the common foot soldier,
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children,
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth
You can say a prayer for anyone
You’ve known or you might see
Say a prayer for all of these and more
But there’s still no prayer for me
Say a prayer for every living thing
The unborn and deceased
But I haven’t got a prayer I know
That’s the nature of the beast
6 - 6 - 6
the number of the beast
54-46 that’s my number
Right now someone else has that number
867-5309
Call me on the line
Call me call me any anytime
Call me my love you can call me any day or night
Call me
I got a telephone call from Istanbul
My baby’s comin’ home today.
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you’ve a date in Constantinople
She’ll be waiting in Istanbul
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
This waiting is killing me
It’s getting me down
Day in, day out
My feet are burning holes in the ground
