[Nicky:] OK, Lads the last flights just been canceled.
[Kian:] Oh, My God.
[Mark:] What are you talking about?
[Shane:] Again?
[Mark:] Please tell me your joking.
[Shane:] That's the same old story.
[Brian:] Are you serious?
[Kian:] Lads if I could fly this plane meself, we're going home.
[Brian:] Look forget this. It'd be quicker walkin'. I'm going!

[SHANE]
An empty street,
An empty house,
A whole inside my heart.
I'm all alone.
The rooms are getting smaller.
I wonder how,
I wonder why,
I wonder where they are.
The days we had,
The songs we sang together.
Oh, yeah.

[ALL]
And oh, my love.
I'm holding on forever.

[SHANE]
Reaching for a love that seems so far.

[ALL]
So, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
[SHANE]
My love.

[BRYAN]
I try to read,
I go to work,
I'm laughin' with my friends.
But I can't stop,
To keep myself from thinking.
Oh, no.
I wonder how,
I wonder why,
I wonder where they are.
The days we had,
The songs we sang together.
Oh, yeah.

[ALL]
And oh, my love.
I'm holding on forever.

[SHANE]
Reaching for a love that seems so far.

[ALL]
So, I say a little prayer.
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
Over seas and coast to coast.
Find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again...

[MARK]
To hold you in my arms.
To promise you my love.
To tell you from the heart,
You're what I'm thinking of.
I'm reaching for the love that seems so far.

[ALL]
Soooo, I say a little prayer.
[SHANE ECHO]
(Yeeaahhh...)
And hope my dreams will take me there.
Where the skies are blue.
To see you once again,
My love.
[MARK ECHO]
(Looove)
Over seas and coast to coast.
[SHANE ECHO]
(Over seas)
Find the place I love the most.
[MARK ECHO]
(Love the most)
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.
[SHANE]
I say a little prayer
[BRYAN ECHO]
(My sweet prayer)
Dreams will take me there
[ALL]
Where the skies are blue
[SHANE ECHO]
(Oh yeah)
To see you once again
[SHANE ECHO]
(Oh, my love)
Over seas and coast to coast
To find the place I love the most.
Where the fields are green.
To see you once again,
My love.

This isn't goodbye, even as I watch you leave, this isn't goodbye
I swear I won't cry, even as tears fill my eyes, I swear I won't cry

Any other girl, I'd let you walk away
Any other girl, I'm sure I'd be ok

Tell me what makes a man
Wanna give you all his heart
Smile when you're around 
And cry when you're apart
If you know what makes a man
Wanna love you the way I do
Girl you gotta let me know
So I can get over you

What makes her so right?
Is it the sound of her laugh?
That look in her eyes
When do you decide?
She is the dream that you seek
That force in your life

When you apologize, no matter who was wrong
When you get on your knees if that would bring her home

Tell me what makes a man
Wanna give you all his heart
Smile when you're around 
And cry when you're apart
If you know what makes a man
Wanna love you the way I do
Girl you gotta let me know

So that I can get over you

Other girls will come along, they always do
But what's the point when all I ever want is you, tell me

Tell me what makes a man
Wanna give you all his heart
Smile when you're around
And cry when you're apart
If you know what makes a man
Wanna love you the way I do
Girl you gotta let me know..... (let me know)
Girl you gotta let me know..... (wooo)
So I can get over you

Just a smile and the rain is gone
Can hardly believe it (yeah)
There's an angel standing next to me
Reaching for my heart

Just a smile and there's no way back
Can hardly believe it (yeah)
But there's an angel, she's calling me
Reaching for my heart

I know, that I'll be ok now
This time it's real

I lay my love on you
It's all I wanna do
Everytime I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you

I was lost in a lonely place
Could hardly even believe it (yeah)
Holding on to yesterdays
Far, far too long

Now I believe its ok cause this time it's real

I lay my love on you
It's all I wanna do
Everytime I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you

I never knew that love could fell so good

Like once in a lifetime
You change my world

I lay my love on you
You make me feel brand new
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you

I lay my love on you
It's all I wanna do
Everytime I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you

I lay my love on you
You make me feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you

As I lay my love on you

Written by Benny Andersson, Bjørn Ulvaeus. Originally recorded by Abba.
Recorded by Westlife for the Abbamania album (1999).

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I hae a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

(feat. Mariah Carey)

[Shane:]
How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace,
When I'm standing taking every breath,
With you, ooohhh,
You're the only one who really knew me,
At all.

[Mariah:]
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave,
Cause we shared the laughter and the pain,
And even shared the tears,
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
There's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face,
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
If you're coming back to me it's against all odds,
And that's what I've got to face.

[Mark:]
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry,
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why,
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

[Mariah:]
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space,
There's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face,
So take a look at me now,
So there's just an empty space,
But to wait for you is all I can do,
When that's what I've got to face.

Take a good look at me now,
Cause I'll be standing here,
([Mark:] Standing here)
And you coming back to me is against all odds,
And that's the chance I've got to take.

[Westlife:]
Got to take
Got to take

[Mariah:]
Ooh
Take a look at me now

[Westlife:]
Take a look at me now.

She's a 5 foot 10 in catsuit and bambi eyes
Everybody's who's staring wouldn't believe that this girl was mine
I should have know I was wrong
When I left her for a life in pity 
But they say you never miss the water until it's gone

Guess I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight

How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that 
I can't believe what I just gave away 
Now I can't take it back 
I don't wanna get lost 
I don't wanna live my life without you
How am I supposed to leave you now 
When you're looking like that

She's all dressed up for glamour and rock and roll
Wanna squeeze her real tight get out of this place
If only I could take control

But she is out of my reach forever
And just a week ago she lied next to me
It's so ironic how I had to lose just 
To see that I failed to love you
And you're taking it out tonight

How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that 
I can't believe what I just gave away 
Now I can't take it back 
I don't wanna get lost 
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now 
When you're looking like that

I don't wanna forget you
I don't even wanna try
How am I supposed to walk on by when you're looking like that

How am I supposed to leave you now
I can't believe what I just gave away (oh no)
Now I can't take it back 
I don't wanna get lost 
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now 
When you're looking like that

How am I supposed to leave you now
When you're looking like that 
I can't believe what I just gave away 
Now I can't take it back 
I don't wanna get lost 
I don't wanna live my life with out you
How am I supposed to leave you now 
When you're looking like that
(x2)

Across the miles 
It's funny to me
How far you are but now
Near you seem to be
I could talk all night
Just to hear you breathe
I could spend my life
Just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

With all the lovers 
I used to know 
I kept my distance I never let go
But I your arms I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way
You're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need

Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you 
Closer now than any words can say

And when, when I'm in your arms, 
I need you to know I've never been
I've never been this close

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been 
I've never been
I've never been this close

I'm only human 
Sometimes I make mistakes
If you forgive me
I'm gonna do what it takes

But now I know better 
To hurt you was wrong
Girl it's with you I belong

Somebody needs you like never before
Somebody wants your love
Baby so open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light 
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you tonight

I've been thinking 
We should be talking it through
You must believe me
I'll make it up to you

Cause I now know better 
To hurt you was wrong
Girl it's with you I belong

Somebody needs you like never before
Somebody wants your love
Baby so open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light 
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you tonight

In the dark,
When there's no one else around
I still pray
That our love can be found 

Somebody needs you like never before
Somebody wants you
Baby open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light 
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you

Somebody needs you like never before
Somebody wants your love
Baby open the door
Don't you leave me alone
Don't you turn out the light 
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you tonight

I would die for you
Lay down my life for you
The only thing that means everything to me
'Cause when you're in my arms
You make me prouder than 
Than anything I ever could achieve
And you make everything that used to seem so big
Seem to be so small since you arrived

On angel's winds, an angelical formation
Angel's wings, like letters in the sky
Now I know no matter what the question
Love is the answer
It's written on angel's wings

And I often wonder why,
Someone as flawed as I 
Deserves to be as happy as you make me
So as the years roll by
I'll be there by your side
I'll follow you wherever your heart takes me
Cause you make everything that used to be so big
Seem to be so small since you arrived

On angel's winds, an angelical formation
Angel's wings, like letters in the sky
Now I know no matter what the question
Love is the answer
It's written on angel's wings

Now anyone who's felt the touch of heaven in their lives 
Will know the way I'm feeling, looking
In my baby's eyes
That's why I can't bear to be too far away
I know that god must love me cause
He sent you to me on angel's wings 

On angel's winds, an angelical formation
Angel's wings, like letters in the sky
Now I know no matter what the question
Love is the answer
It's written on angel's wings

Love is the answer
It's written on angel's wings

If only you could see the tears in the world you left behind
If only you could heal my heart just one more time
Even when I close my eyes
There's an image of your face
And once again I come I'll realise
You're a loss I can't replace

Soledad
It's a keeping for the lonely
Since the day that you were gone
Why did you leave me
Soledad
In my heart you were the only
And your memory live on 
Why did you leave me
Soledad

Walking down the streets of Nothingville
Where our love was young and free
Can't believe just what an empty place 
It has come to be
I would give my life away
If it could only be the same
Cause I can't still the voice inside of me
That is calling out your name

Soledad
It's a keeping for the lonely
Since the day that you were gone
Why did you leave me
Soledad
In my heart you were the only
And your memory live on 
Why did you leave me
Soledad

Time will never change the things you told me
After all we're meant to be love will bring us back to you and me
If only you could see

Soledad
It's a keeping for the lonely
Since the day that you were gone
Why did you leave me
Soledad
In my heart you were the only
And your memory live on 
Why did you leave me
Soledad

It's the way she fills my senses
It's the perfume that she wears
I feel I'm losing my defences
To the colour of her hair

And every little piece of her is right
Just thinking about her
Takes me through the night

(Chorus)
Every time we meet
The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew it from the very start

She's the puzzle of my heart

It's the way she's always smiling
That makes me think she never cries
I feel I'm losing my defences
To the colour of her eyes

And every little piece of her is right

(Chorus)

Like a miracle she's meant to be
She became the light inside of me
And I can feel her like a memory
From long... ago

(Chorus)

Every time we meet
The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much

Every time we meet
The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew it from the very start
She's the puzzle of my heart

Dreams are there to show you the way
(Better take a look inside)
Close your eyes find out what they're trying to say
(You gotta take a look inside)

Only for a minute
Just to make a start
Imagine what you wanna see

Wake him up the wizard
Sleeping in your heart
Just imagine what you wanna be
Don't you know that...

(Chorus)
Dreams come true they do
Dreams come true
From all of us to all of you they do

Don't you know that dreams come true
Love is just a second away
(Better take a look inside)
Make that magic rule, let the miracle stay
(You gotta take a look inside)

Only for a minute
It's not a fantasy
Just imagine what you wanna be

Don't you know that...

(Chorus)
Don't you know that dreams come true
Don't you know that dreams come true
Only for a minute
You can make your dreams come true

I can't imagine any greater fear
Than walking up without you here
And though the sun would still shine on
My whole world would all be gone
But not for long

If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far
It wouldn't matter why we're apart
Lonely months, two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much

(Chorus)

If you wanna know
Tomorrow morning I have to leave
But wherever I may be
Best believe I'm thinking of you
I can't believe how much I love

All we have is here tonight
We don't want to waste this time
Give me something to remember
Baby put your lips on mine

And I'll love you forever
Anytime that we find ourselves apart

Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Just look to your heart
And that's where I'll be
If you just close your eyes
Till your drifting away
You'll never be too far from me
If you close your eyes

I know I'm gonna see you again
But promise me that you won't forget
Cause as long as you remember
A part of us will be together
So even when you're fast asleep
Look for me inside your dreams
Keep believing in what we're sharing
And even when I'm not there to tell you

I'll, I'll love you forever
Anytime that I can't be where you are

(Chorus)

Is there anywhere that far?
Anytime you're feeling low
Is there anywhere that love cannot reach?
Oh no
It could be anywhere on earth
It could be anywhere I'll be
Oh baby if you want to see

Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Look to your heart
That's where you'll be
Just close your eyes
Till your drifting away
You'll never be too far from me

I've been trying to reach you
'Cause I got something to say
But you're talking about nothing at all
And you're slipping away
We were crying together
It was a long time ago
Before you walk out the door
And leave me this way
Just here what I say
You make me feel
You make me real
For the rest of my days
In so many ways

You make me feel
I've been trying to leave you
Why should we go on like this
But my heart can't breathe
When I hear you say
It's better this way

(Chorus)

Ten thousand light years away from you
Keep thinking maybe it's time to let go
But by the end of the day
I still want to say "Do you"

(Chorus)

Loneliness is always looking for a friend
It found me once and it has been around since then
Loneliness is never waiting by the door
It sweeps right through and it will never be ignored
Why, hwy was I chosen?
Why am I left without?

The love of my life, the love that I need
The love that they say is in life for free
The love of dreams, the love that I want
Loneliness knows me by name

Loneliness knows everything I keep inside
My endless thought in the silence of the night
Loneliness is the one who made me see
Ain't nobody else who can make a change but me
Why, hwy was I chosen?
Why am I left without?

(Chorus)

Life is more and that would be the vacant space
The cried out tears and a never ending maze
I have found what only loneliness provides
A strength within knowing I will find

A fragile heart was broken before
I don't think it could endure another pain
But there's a voice from deep inside of you
That's calling out to make you realize

That this new bond gives inspiration
To all who feel no love appeal no more
So how can I break this wall around you
That's aiding both our hearts to grow in pain

So forget your past, and we can dream tomorrow
Save our hearts for card and lovin too
It's hard I know, but oh
One thing for sure
Don't go and break this fragile heart

A hurting mind in need of emotion
I don't think I could endure another pain
But baby in you, I've found affection
Affection I have never felt before

So don't let your past destroy what comes tomorrow
Don't go and break my fragile heart

With all this fire that burns between us
There's so much to lose
Yet so much more to gain
And if I could, choose the world around me
The world I'd choose would all revolve around you
So help me complete the game inside me
And help to mend my fragile heart

Hello, let me know if you hear me
Hello, if you want to be near
Let me know
And I'll never let you go

Hey love
When you ask what I feel, I say love
When you ask how I know
I say trust

And if that's not enough

It's every little thing you do
That makes me fall in love with you
There isn't a way that I can show you
Ever since I've come to know you
It's every little thing you say
That makes me wanna feel this
There's not a thing that I can point to
'Cause it's every little thing you do

Don't ask why
Let's just feel what we feel
'Cause sometimes
It's the secret that keeps it alive
But if you need a reason why

(Chorus)
Is it your smile or your laugh or your heart?
Does it really matter why I love you?
Anywhere there's a crowd, you stand out
Can't you see why they can't ignore you
If you wanna know
Why I can't let go
Let me explain to you
That every little dream comes true
With every little thing you do

It's everything, everything you do
That makes me fall in love with you
It's everything, everything you say
That makes me feel this way

This moment's been on my mind
Now I've left it behind

I've left it behind
Don't get me wrong

Isn't life strange
A total mystery
As we passed each day
Did you notice me?

And I know girl
You've been looking at me
And I know now
That you and me were meant to be
What would it take to realise
That in my heart
No matter what they say

No matter what they say
When it comes to love
Two hearts are inseparable
No matter what they say
When it comes to love
Nothing is impossible

Walking down that road
It's coming back to me
Did you feel it inside
A thousand memories

(Chorus)

When it comes to you and me
There's so much more
Than they can see
And that's how it's meant to be

(Chorus)

I will confess to you 
Because you made me think about the times 
You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over 
The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing 
But you wouldn't laugh at all 
And I wonder what the boy was thinking 
The picture was an old collage of something classical 
The model with a tragic air 
Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight 
The ghost of somebody at his side 

I will confess to you 
Because I didn't think about the message 
As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday 
And all my friends deserted me because you painted me 
As the fraud I really was 
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad 
'Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold 
When she knew she had been bad 
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress 
It was the best sex she ever had 

I'll send a dress to you 
Because it's needing badly taken in 
But I was so embarressed when I missed your party 
It was me that paid for it eventually 
Because you know how much I wanted 
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press 
The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here 
And I'm no different from the rest 
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with 
The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts 

You're not impressed by me 
But it's a funny way for you to tell me 
A whisper in a choir stall 
The man was talking about you simultaneously 
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter 
Because I have been sleeping badly lately 
I know you were historical from all the books I've read 
But I thought you could be bluffing 
And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss 
It's days and months before I see you again
