Tina Arena Album

(Arena/P. Manners/ F De Benedittis/ E Esposito)

Fire in your eyes, a promise of true love and protection
but in your mind, necessity of getting your way.
Tradition disguised. Suspicion and lies.

Selfish desire, you're looking for maternal perfection.
Oh what a shame, it's something you can't get on your own.
You want me gone but you want me to stay.
And you need my absolution, for the sins you won't confess.

{chorus}
Sing low, so no one hears you and sing high, making me cry
I hear something when wrapped in your arms...
An Italian song of love.

Who can resist a show of such apparent devotion?
Could there exist, a love of such unfaltering strength?
Convinced of a dream, denying a scheme
And you need my absolution, for the sins you wont confess.

{chorus}

Sing low, help me remember how you loved making me cry
Now I hear only echoes and whispers,

Your arms are warm but they make me feel
As if they're made of cold, cold steel
A simple kiss like a turnin' key
A little click and the lock's on me
Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands
I won't admit to where I am
But I know baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains

I pretend I can always leave
Free to go whenever I please
But then the sound of my desperate calls
Echo off these dungeon walls
I've crossed the line from mad to sane
A thousand times and back again
I love you baby, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I'm in chains

Should have known passing through the gate
That once inside I could not escape
I never thought this could happen to me
Never thought this is where I'd be
But baby, baby, baby, look at me
Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains
I'm in chains
I never thought this is where I'd be

Do you wanna be a poet and write
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love
Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above
Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return
I want you to burn, burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn
Burn for me
Burn for me
Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal
Or go to heaven and touch God's face
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or an angel
Under grace
Ill lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn burn for me burn for me
Yeah
Ooh
I want you to burn baby ooh
Laugh for me
Cry for me
Pray for me
Lie for me
Live for me
Die for me
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn burn for me burn for me
Yeah
Ah yeah
I want you to burn
I want you to burn for me baby

Wouldn't you know it I've lost my courage
Isn't that funny, me lost for words
Not that it really matters, 'cause I know you know
And you would have told me yourself if you could

Remember the first time, we met each other
You were in your world and I was in mine
Breaking down the barriers, we broke all the rules
But wasn't it good, wasn't it fine
While I took for granted, you took your time
Longing for love oh how we tried
It's over now that's understood, but wasn't it good

So long together, two would be lovers
Caring for flowers that just wouldn't grow
And in all of our tomorrows, we'll have yesterday
And wasn't it good, wasn't it fine
While I took for granted, you took your time
Longing for love, oh how we tried
It's over now that's understood

I sang your praises daily
And we let ourselves get swept away
It's true baby
We held heaven in our hands for days
You wait a long time
For something wild to take you somewhere
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long way from paradise to ordinary
Picture us just smiling there, we didn't have a care

I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender
And I was lost with you
By the sweet sorrento moon

But the stars don't burn that brightly
Every season surely slips away
But you baby
You're the reason why I chose to stay
You wait a long time to find your dream and hold on to it
And all I needed was to fly
It's a long day from innocence to understanding
A picture of a child at play, is how I feel today

And I remember, how it all came true
It was oh so tender, and I was lost with you

So I hope this finds you well
Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
There's some news I need to tell you
Give my Mother a kiss
Tell her I'm ok
I recall her words
"If it's too easy
It never lasts
I have compromised
But I'm finally free of the past
Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom
I hold so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness
In your eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
All alone the other night
I came to realise we'd be friends for life
It was always meant to be
For some people the heavens can get it so right
Like an angel you see
You have graciously offered a hand
You'd be so proud of me
Now I'm finally taking a stand
Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom
I hope so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness
In your eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
Now I can dance
Now I can dance
Clouds have all disappeared
Freedom
I hope so dear
Cause nobody knows me here
Though I can only imagine the sadness
In you eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
Though I can only imagine the sadness
In your eyes
Please understand
Now I can dance
So I hope this finds you well
Sun is shining down eastern valley ways
So good
Be free
Can dance and laugh and just be me
So good
Be free

Soulmate # 9, say that I'm the only one
But I know that's just a lie
I'm your Soulmate # 9, you're living in a fantasy, in your mind
Woah woah woah woah

You live in a made up world
You think that I don't see
It's a world of make believe
You spin a tangled web
Just like a fairytale
It's all in your head

You promised me the world
You promised me the sun
You promised me heaven
But your gonna turn it round

'Cause Soulmate # 9 say that I'm the only one
But I know that's just a lie
I'm your Soulmate # 9, you're living in a fantasy, in your mind
Soulmate # 9

You say you're a grown up man
You've got it in control, your pockets lined in gold
That's not what I need from you
It's never what you say
It's only what you do
You look into my eyes
You try to hypnotise
You say that it's forever
But forever means goodbye

'Cause I'm your Soulmate # 9, say that I'm the only one
But I know that's just a lie
I'm your Soulmate # 9, you're living in a fantasy, in your mind
Soulmate # 9

I would have loved you
If you'd just be who you are
If you just say that you want me
And let the feeling feel so real
I feel you, coming from the heart

'Cause Soulmate # 9, say that I'm the only one
But I know that's just a lie
I'm your Soulmate # 9, you're living in a fantasy, in your mind

'Cause I'm your Soulmate # 9 say that I'm the only one
But I know that's just a lie
I'm your Soulmate # 9, you're living in a fantasy, in your mind

Woah woah woah woah

'Cause Soulmate # 9 say that I'm the only one
But I know that's just a lie
I'm your Soulmate # 9, you're living in a fantasy, in your mind

Two smiling faces
That's how it used to be
What once was forever
Now a faded memory
The perfect illusion
For a while I guess it was
Without explanation the bloom fell off the rose
Heaven help my heart
'Cause it's a lot like me
Wondering when this all will end and I find the love I need
I know it's out there somewhere
Somehow I still believe
I'm asking please
Heaven help my heart

This world can get crazy
These are troubled times
I'd walk through fire if love is what I'd find
It's out of my hands so I put my faith in you
I say a little prayer and hope that it comes true
Heaven help my heart
'Cause it's a lot like me
Wondering when this all will end and I find the love I need
I know it's out there somewhere
Somehow I still believe
I'm asking please

Stars are shinning in your eyes
And I begin to realise
That our path through times unbroken

Do you know what it's like
When a mirror never lies
And the truth remands unspoken

And we dance into the fire
'Cause our spirits take us higher

Do you feel me now
Burning like a flame
If you touch me
I may disappear
Floating through your eyes
How do we resist
The gravity of love
In the symphony of life

There's a place I've never been
Where there's angels gathering
and they talk about the future

When the simple things in life
Can do more to satisfy
Let the wisdom be my teacher

You can have all that you desire
But it may not take you higher

Do you feel me now
Burning like a flame
If you touch me
I may disappear
Floating through your eyes
How do we resist
The gravity of love
In the symphony of life

Symphony of life
Do you feel me now
Burning like a flame
If you touch me
I may disappear
Floating though your eyes
How do we resist
The gravity of love
In my symphony of life

When the sky is gray and it looks like rain
Just think of me, I'll come running from wherever I am
Just as fast as I can
How could I ever stand by
And watch all your hopes and your dreams just die
On my word, I'll be there soon
I'm coming to the rescue

That's the way a woman feels
She'll walk through fire if she has to
That's the way a woman feels
When she loves someone, like I love you

When lightning strikes and the thunder rolls
And you can't find shelter from the cold
If you close your eyes and say a prayer, I'll be there
How could I turn away
From the one whose life I'd die to save
There's no sacrifice too great to make
When you are the reason

That's the way a woman feels
She'll walk through fire if she has to
That's the way a woman feels
When she loves someone, she'll be there for you

How could I ever stand by
And watch all your hopes and your dreams just die
On my word, I'll be there soon

So good
When it's good I wanna spend my whole life lovin' you
But I'm tired
And you don't know how close I've come to leaving you
You try my patience
And you race me to the wire
It takes every ounce of my will and desire
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you like crazy
If I didn't love you baby
As much as I do
I'd just walk out the door
I couldn't take it anymore
I wouldn't put up with what you put me through
If I didn't love you
It's hard
But you won't give up 'till you
Push me to the wall
But I know
You're the only one who'll be there for me
When I call (oh yes you will)
I can't help believing
That it's worth it somehow
Cause I've worked too damn hard
To wanna give up now
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you like crazy
If I didn't love you baby
As much as I do
I'd just walk out the door
I couldn't take it anymore
I wouldn't put up with what you put me through
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
Nah, If I didn't
If I didn't love you like I do
When you love someone
Nothings black or white
When the riptide runs
There's no wrong or right
I'll sail with you but I'll refuse to drown
So don't you take me down, down
Take me down down
Don't you take me down, down, down
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
I'd walk out that door
I don't need it anymore
Need to put up with what you put me through
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you
If I didn't love you like I do o o o
I'd walk out that door
I'm not comin' back no more

Gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
Better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Ooh yeah
This mountain I must climb
Is like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Yeah
Gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Got nowhere left to hide
Looks like love has finally found me
In my life
There's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now
I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I feel what love is
I know you can show me
Yeah
Lord help me to be strong
On this road I travel on
When I'm lost and lonely
Find me
My journey's just begun
And I'm not the only one
Cause I wanna know
I wanna know
Yes I've found out
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
Oh yeah
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
Yes I've found out
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
You can't hide
I know you can show me
Yeah, Nah yeah
Cause I wanna know
Wanna know
Tell me what love is
Do you know what it is
Tell me what love is
Show me what love is

I dare you to be happy,

hit it

What does it take
Stop me making the same mistake
Now I see, it's not me
What a fool I've been

Yeah Yeah

I'm not ashamed
Everybody can play that game
It's ok, it's one way
And we all survive

You talk about my freedom
Talk about my love
Talk about my living
And I know that's not enough

I just want my freedom
I just want to love
I just wanna know that I can have a little fun

Oh Oh
I dare you to be happy
Oh Woah
I dare you to be happy
Yeah

Go figure it out
Oh this is what the world's about
I can tell, what the hell
I can be there too

Yeah Yeah

At the end of the day
I'm feeling good and I'm on my way
When in doubt
Leave it out
Put your faith in life

Woah

We can talk about freedom
We can talk about love
We can talk about livin'
But somehow that's not enough
I just want to be givin'
I just wanted to love
Now I know it's time to have a little fun

Woah Oh
Can you hear me now
I dare you to be happy
Woah Oh
I dare you to be happy
Yeah
Woah Oh
'Cause I said
I dare you to be happy

Oh yes be happy, Yeah

There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe
Come over here and shut them tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand
Don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please

Here I go
I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey babe
I need your head to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened a much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine, and it feels divine
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please

Do you know what it's like to dream a dream
Baby hold me tight and let this be
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless

If I was the sun
I would shine my light
To light your world
If I was the rain
I would wash your tears away
I keep your world right
Be your light in the night
If I was the sky
I would rain down love into your life

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river

If I was the wind
I would carry you
Above the clouds
And if I was the earth
I would be your solid ground
If I could I'll be
All you ever would need
I would be your world
You're the only world there is for me

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I
If I was a river

I'll run into your arms
Into your arms
Oh yeah
I'll run to you baby
Oh yeah

If I was a river
You would be my ocean
Every stream would lead me to your arms
And if
If I was a river
I'll flow to you forever
Love would run forever in this heart of mine
If I, if I

w/ The Roc Project

I can't...

I can't be with you again
Don't remind me
Of the good times that we had
Learn a lot from us instead
I never want these feelings
To ever come again
No, no

You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

Please don't tell me
That you've changed
Don't wanna hear on how
You've lost your evil ways
One has change this time is near
And I won't go back
To feeling helpless and deceived
Oh, no

You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

Your love...
Your love...

To think you have me
Fooled every now and then
You had me believin'
That I was the reason
That you left

But I won't fall back
In love with you again
I don't even wanna be
(I don't even wanna be)
your friend
no, no, no

You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

(you'll never hear me crying)
so past tense
(you'll never see me trying)
your love...

From "The Mast of Zorro" soundtrack
Duet with Marc Anthony

Moon so bright, night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming
Race the moon, catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day, stand up for the light
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
Heroes rise, heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can't you feel the glory
Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again
Save the night, save the day
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through

(F. Kernaghan)

Hey thanks a lot for invading my life
With your sweet earth smell and those soulful eyes
That see into mine to where I hide
Lost in space it gets lonely sometimes

You crack me up; I'm starting to splinter
The mother ship is coming apart
There's been a malfunction, I need some attention
Oh, please fix this clunk in my heart

Now I know how much you really want to
I want you, but you hesitate, don't you?

{Chorus}
Take me apart,
Dismantle my heart
Steal my love see if I care
Take me apart
Here in the dark
Kiss by kiss
Finish what you start
though I'll never be the same it's ok...
take me apart

Hey thanks a lot I'm feeling better
I feel like swimming 'round the universe
You inflate my soul, You got me goin'
Warp 7th heaven when you touch me there

Now I know how much you really want to
But you hesitate, don't you?

{chorus}
Solo
