Don't Ask

i awake to my beating heart
you save my soul from falling apart
say goodbye i'm leaving the race
how i long for your embrace
how long did it take me to find
so close i won't be left behind
i believe and to you i confess
i gave up on me
but you showed me happiness

your love is the greatest gift i could hope to receive
i'm on my way to being so complete
i'd make no change to a perfect idea
your love is the greatest gift i have ever seen

i found was missing inside
no longer does this girl need to hide
lay me down that i may be strong
'cause together is surely where we belong

nightly i pray no harm befalls you
needless to say it's all i can do
your every desire i promise no less
it's true i can say because of you i've found happiness

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
heaven help my heart

if you think i'm satisfied
if you believe everything's al right
then you don't know day from night
you don't see the tears i cry can't you see i feel the fire
i can't deny the way you touch that desire in me
oh baby god knows you do like nobody can

so baby baby be a man
baby be a man baby be a man be a man to me
i'm doing everything i can to make you understand
be a man to me

used to be love at all hours
i never got a good night's sleep
now it's hard to believe not long ago
you couldn't get enough of me
i know that you can deliver
why don't you lay down and give it to me
if you don't want me to leave just take my hand

and baby baby be a man
baby be a man baby be a man be a man to me
i'm doing everything i can to make you understand
if you want me for your woman then baby baby baby

come to me talk to me tell me what's wrong
but baby don't keep me waiting too long
i can't hold on

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
never thought this could happen to me

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
By the sweet sorrento moon... (la luna de sorrento)

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
oh show me heaven please

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
i'm coming to the rescue
