Horizon

( stop )

Oh yes, wait a minute

Mister postman

( wait )

Wait mister postman



(*) please mister postman look and see

( oh yeah )

If there's a letter in your bag for me

( please, please, mister postman )

Why's it takin' such a long time

( oh yeah )

For me to hear from that boy of mine



There must be

Some word today

From my boyfriend

So far away

Please mister postman

Look and see

If there's a letter

A letter for me



I've been standin' here

Waitin' mister postman

So patiently

For just a card

Or just a letter

Sayin' he's returning'

Home to me



Repeat (*)



So many days

You passed me by

See the tears

Standin' in my eyes

You didn't stop

To make me feel better

By leavin' me

A card or a letter



Repeat (*)



( why don't you check it and see one more time

For me you gotta )

Wait a minute, wait a minute...

( mister postman )

Mister postman look and see



( c'mon deliver the letter, the sooner, the better )

Mister postman

There was a man

A lonely man

Who lost his love

Through his indifference



A heart that cared

That went unshared

Until it died

Within his silence



(*) and solitaire's the only game in town

And every road that takes him

Takes him down

And by himself it's easy to pretend

He'll never love again



(**) and keeping to himself

He plays the game

Without her love

It always ends the same

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire



A little hope

Goes up in smoke

Just how it goes

Goes without saying



There was a man

A lonely man

Who would command

The hand he's playing



Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

Repeat (*)

I've played the game of love before

Too young to know

How hard the fall could be

I never though i'd try again

Somehow you brought

The gambler out in me



You can deal me in this time around

Even though the odds are high

We'll play them down

You may be a chance i need to take

And the hand i'm holdin' says it's no mistake



(*) happy is the way i'm feelin'

And i know it comes from being with you

All at once my life is changin'

And i know it's cause i'm fallin' in love with you

Fallin' in love with you

Fallin' in love

Fallin' in love with you



If this is luck then let it ride

If it's the starts

They're surely on my side

I've never been so safisfied

By love before

For all the times i've tried



These beginnings could mean more

Than the brief affair i bargained for

Little did i know when we began

That my time had come to win a hand



Repeat (*)



Please forgive me if i seem

To be walking through a waking dream

Laughter never came so easily

There's a freedom here that's new to me



Repeat (*)

Lying under barren skies

The light escaping

From my eyes

Below the moon

Walking down the avenue

I' followed by

The afterglow

The velvet rose of evening grows



Weary to be home again

Among the faces

Of my friends

The day is done

Candles burning by the sea

Are waiting for me

Patiently

I wish the same

For you

(see corrected lyrics in parentheses below)

I have something to tell you

And i know it won't be easy

I've been thinking these past few days

It might be time to leave

You're like a stranger

Then you're a lover

Never the same

Always hard to believe



(*) i'm caught between goodbye and i love you

Never knowing quite where i stand

I'm caught between goodbye and i love you

Falling both ways nowhere to land

So constantly stranded

I can't understant it
(understand)

This double life you've handed me

Is like the devil and the deep blue sea


If we go on much longer

If my doubts grow any stronger

Then i may have to let you go

If only to survive

Give me a reason

Why should i stary here?
(stay)

I've tried so hard

Just to keep love alive



Repeat (*)
