Pete Bourke | Lyrics

FOR YOU TO SEE    -----    PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.  Laying it down for you

         Put it in front of you

         Let it surround you

         And you will see

         Another side of me

         The person inside of me, you've never seen

Vs 2.   It's not that easy

         I'm treading cautiously

         Closed so tightly

         It's hard to free

         Another side of me

         That person inside of me, for you to see

         BRIDGE          Ooohh...

                           You see I'm scared

                           I feel unprepared

                           To share this expression, of me...

Vs 3.          Playing in real time

         The make or break kind

         Hoping that I'll find

         My deep blue sea

         That other side of me

         That person inside of me, I've only dreamed

         I've only dreamed yeah, I've only dreamed

 

GOING AWAY    -----    PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.    She's the most beautiful person

            She's so special to me

            She's the girl of my dreams, can't you see

            Well I fell in love with her

            She fell in love with me

            But darling I love you so much now, can't you see

Vs 2.    The way she moves the way she walks

            Her caring smile and her tender touch

            All of these you do so easily, can't you see

            In her hand's the key to my heart

            To my emotions for me to start

            I think about you endlessly now baby, can't you see

INSTRUMENTAL

            BRIDGE        But I knew it would end one day

                                    I knew one day she'd have to go away

                                    I thought maybe, not straight away

                                    But to hold her back I could not

                                    I could not say

Vs 3.    So darling I must tell you so

            You mean more to me then you'll ever know

            Words alone can't describe how I'm feeling, can't you see

            So love strong and love me true

            Always know I'll be waiting for you

            Together in our minds forever in our hearts

            I love you darling, I love you so much, forever just you and me.

 

MADE MY DAY    -----    PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.   I wish I could go, down

         To the river again

         And hold your hand

         And feel the feeling within

         I wish I could go, down

         To the ocean again

         Where we could swim

         And let it begin

         CHORUS   Cause Cranberry Flats don't seem so far away

                           Even if for only a day, we can play

                           Let us walk along the beach today

                           Even if only to say, baby you just made my day

INSTRUMENTAL

Vs 2.   I wish I could go, out

         To the mountain again

         Take your hand

Promise we'll never end

         Oh, I love you so

         I love you so

         I just want you to know

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL TILL END

 

MY LOVING FRIEND    -----    PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.     I've been looking for so long now

            To find the answer

            I don't know somehow

            I can't get any closer

            But I know our love is true, oh yeah, yeah

            Cause I can still say I love you..........and so can you

Vs 2.     Can't you see what's going on

            Right from the start

            You're living away for so long

            Is tearing us apart

            What can we do, oh I don't know

            How can we choose to..........smile or cry

            Hello or goodbye

            If we look into each other's eyes..........we will never lie

Vs 3.     You're still such a part of my life

            And you're nit even near me

            You can still light the darkest night

            And in your eyes I can see

            Your love for me is still strong, oh yeah, yeah

            Let me hold you all night long then..........we can fly

            As high as the sky

            And we will never say goodbye

            BRIDGE        And this love that we made

                                    Will never fade

                                    It will live on in our minds

                                    Until the end of our time

Till we meet again, my loving friend

Till we meet again, my loving friend

Till we meet again, my loving friend

END

NOW IT'S OVER    -----    PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.     Tears swell in my eyes once more

            But not like the times they have before

            Now I know this time you've gone

            I'll have to make it on my own

INSTRUMENTAL

Vs 2.     You've got to understand my mind

            I've been waiting for you all this time

            I thought your other life would end

            And we'd be back together again

                        BRIDGE        Now I know that is not true

                                                But I never thought I would hear it from you

            CHORUS        So please, will someone help me stand

                                    Reach out to me with both hands

                                    I need someone to let me give

                                    All that's inside that makes me live

Vs 3.     You said those words I needed to hear

            And made the picture nice and clear

            You said truth hurts and that's no lie

            You've set me free to make me fly

                        BRIDGE        Now that is what I have to do

                                                Search to find a love that's true

CHORUS

Vs 4.     So thank you for closing up the door

            Now I'll dream of you no more

            The thoughts in my mind will fade away

            And the sun will chase away the gray

END

 

STORY 'BOUT TWO PEOPLE   -----   PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.     Let me tell you a story 'bout two people from different worlds

            One used to shelterin' from the snow one had never known

            Both had been losing their minds from the way life goes

            Closing up my feelings this time there'll be no more shows

CHORUS 1.             Can't keep on hurting each time I start to

                        Let my heart show I don't know where to go

                        Can't keep on gettin' knocked down I've got to

                        Start to take control I've got to just say no

Vs 2.     We'd been hangin' in mutual places with our mutual friends

            We'd built up our walls so high we didn't see it begin

            It was gettin' late one night I saw you turn to your friend

            She said are you saying goodnight or will you stay 'till the end

CHORUS 2.             Bartender another round for me

                        And one for my friend that was what she said

                        Now you owe me a song tonight

                        Well I knew right then this night would never end

Vs 3.     Today marks a year gone by from that very first night

            I can still remember so clearly how the moon was shining so bright

            We found the one thing we both thought could never come true

            That fate could bring two together like me and you

CHORUS 3.             Each day we share more of our lives together

                        Going with the flow the only way to go

                        Let us keep these feelings alive forever

                        'Till our days grow old 'tll our story's been told

IMPROVISE 'TILL END.

SANTA CLAUS

Vs 1.    I watch the clouds go by, and wish that I could fly

            Way up in the sky, on the highest of highs

            Never have to try, never be denied

            Just me up in the sky, on the highest of highs

Vs 2.             Sometimes I see fish swim, and think of diving in

            Up and down the streams, chasing all their dreams

            Rarely being seen, rarely intervened

            Just me up in the streams, chasing all my dreams

CHORUS     Cause Santa Claus only comes around here once a year

                        The rest of the time you've got to keep your mind perfectly clear

                        Some people say you've got to knock, knock, knock, knock on wood

                        I say when you rest your head just know you did the best you could

INSTRUMENTAL

Vs 3.    I feel the gusting winds, they've captured me again

            Down around the bends, gathering up their friends

            The clouds are moving in, the fish they start to swim

            My feeling deep within, ignited once again

 

 

DIFF'RENT DOORS

Vs 1.     Hey, how ya doin'

            Thought I'd come and see you

            Take a ride through the clouds

            Cause in my mind I'm flying..........through to you.....you

Vs 2.     I know it's been a long time

            But just think and you'll find

            The memories return

            And the candle still burns..........for me and you.....you

INSTRUMENTAL

Vs 3.     You see I get these feelings

            It's hard to find the meanings

            But they always come around

            When I'm feeling down.........and blue.....blue

            BRIDGE        You see I miss the strength I had, the strength I had with you

                                    Flowing from my dad, flowing through you

                                    More then that I miss the strength, the strength we had as one

                                    Even though, we were young

Vs 4.     So I need your help now

            Can you send it somehow

            We've done this before

            Through diff'rent doors..........we made it through.....through

            BRIDGE        I don't know when this will stop,

Or if it will ever run out

                                    We just keep ticking round like time,

Like someone has a magic chime

                                    I just want you to send,

                                                Your spirit to me again

                                    Send it over sea and land, let's meet again.....We'll meet again.

 

I MET A GIRL    -----    PETER BOURKE.

Vs 1.     I met a girl, just the other day

            And she simply took my breath away

            The way she smiled, when I looked over there

            As she ran her fingers through her hair

Vs 2.     I met a girl, just the other day

            Well that's no big deal, I heard you say

            But for me to have feelings like this

            I know this is one girl I don't want to miss

INSTRUMENTAL

Vs 3.     So I called her up on the telephone

            She says I'm sitting at home all alone

            I said I'm thinking of you

            And I just wanted to sing you a line or two

            BRIDGE        So where, do we go from here

                                    The message you're sending me isn't that clear

                                    I think we're heading down two different roads

                                    And the one that I want is soon to be closed

IMPROVISE THE FIRST TWO LINES TILL END
