CHORUSThese feelings for youAre something I can't loseThis change in my heartIs something trueThese feelings I hold girlI have for you Well I never thought that I would feel this wayI can't express how much I need to saySomething that's deep inside of meFeelings I thought would never beI just have to make you see CHORUS You and you aloneTurned me inside outAnd all I ever seem to doIs lay and dream of you CHORUS A.Barton N.Ferguson/AB Music JULY '69 I recall a summer nightIn July '69When you gave up your life, and left this world unkindYou didn't think we'd cared, you needed love so muchYour only happiness was the music that you loved CHORUSA prince of rock and rageA life on drugs sustainedThe fast life showed upon your faceWhile the drugs destroyed withinSo rest in peace you golden stoneI hope that you've find peace and warmthAway from all torments of lifeI hope that you found love You looked the perfect starAnd lived your live that wayThey reduced you to an ornament but the right star wouldn't fadeAnd even when you died, all the papers had to sayThe shocking life of Brian Jones was the picture they portrayed CHORUS A.Barton/Flagg Music RUNNUNG AWAY FROM HEAVEN When I first saw you your love shone throughOh that thrill inside captivated my mindMy head's spinning round with this love I've foundBu I don't want this feelings just to find myself let down You and me girl, oh, what a thrill girlYou say all you're love's for me, is this all it seemsMy heart won't let go but my head tells me noFears go rushing through 'cause I don't want to find I've lost you So mixed up can't decide true love is to find'Cause I've been this way before and I've felt the hurt insideLeaving me lost breaking my heart and hurting my pride CHORUSSo all I can do is keepRunning away from heaven, turning my back on a dream come trueYour love is tearing me up and tying me downAll I can do is keepRunning away from heaven, no turning back on a dream come trueIf I turn around will I think of youOr will you leave me blue? When I touch you passion runs throughOh, sweet desire burning up insideMy heart's spinning round with this love I've foundBut I don't want these feelings just to find myself let down Once bitten twice shy, I'm unsure I can't deny'Cause I've been this way before and I've felt the hurt insideLeaving me lost, breaking my heat and hurting my pride CHORUS If I turn around will I think of you, will you still be there or will you leave me blue? I look up at times and see a lonely road aheadWho'll be there to catch me when I fallAnd I wake up at nights, I'm in a cold and empty bedAlone, all love gone CHORUS A.Barton S.Humphrey/AB Music/Conkeror Music ALL FALL DOWN Is this all a dream, a living fantasyDo we know for sure what we're all here forIs heaven just a breath awayCan we open up our minds to seeIs our spirit running freeOr do we all fall down again?So tell me what is here for meIs there something to believeFor us all when we fall? Could it really be, did he die for me?I can't understand, I just can't comprehendSuch unselfish love Is this all a master planAre we really in his handsOr do we all fall down again?So tell me what is all this forWas there ever something moreFor us all when we fall again? Is this something that is never endingSo many questions, I don't know where to beginIf we're all here for a reasonWhy am I stood in confusionIs this one never ending cycleDo we shut the door to reappear againAre we getting any nearerIs the vision any clearer now? (Is this all a dream, a living fantasyDo we know for sure what we're all here for?)Is heaven just a breath awayCan we open up our minds to seeIs our spirit running freeOr do we all fall down again?Are we really in commandIs this all a master planFor us all should we all fall down again?Will we all fall down again?
