1.Thank God I Kissed You
Written:Lauren Christy/Graham Edwards/Scott Spock/Ronan Keating
Uh uh high yeah
Da na na na na
Ah ha yeah
Yeah
Yeah it's 4 am and the earth stands still
The city's took a sleeping pill
But I'm awake and lying next to you yeah
So it's 4 am and I breathe you in
And old familiar thoughts begin
I'd hate to think without what I'd do (ohhhhh)
Well I could have turned left
And you could have turned right
I could have stayed at home that night
And you you might have never caught that train, for the rain
Well if you hadn't smiled and if I hadn't asked
We could have been two ships that passed
And I might have never known your name
Thank god I kissed you, that I kissed you
Was it all just chance
Was it meant to be
Was it in the stars for you and me
There's a million doors, but just one key ohhh oh oh
It can take one touch
It can take one look
Well our whole life's a storybook
And we are just fulfilling destiny
Ohhhhhhh
Well I could have turned left
And you could have turned right
I could have stayed at home that night
And you you might have never caught that train, for the rain
Well if you hadn't smiled and if I hadn't asked
We could have been two ships that passed
And I might have never known your name
Thank god I kissed you, that I kissed you
Thank god I kissed you
That I touched you
That I met you, now I love you
Well I'm hooked on you and without you I'm insane
Well I could have turned left
And you could have turned right
I could have stayed at home that night
And you you might have never caught that train, for the rain
Well if you hadn't smiled and if I hadn't asked
We could have been two ships that passed
And I might have never known your name
And thank god I kissed you
Thank god I kissed you
Thank god I kissed you
Cause I could have missed you
Thank god that I kissed you
That I touched you
That I met you , now I love you
Thank god I kissed you
Thank god I kissed you yeah
2.If I Don't Tell You Now
Ooh ooh oh yeah
I kept it inside for the longest time and I can't keep keeping
it
All this love that's inside of my heart
Maybe it's safer not to say that I care
Maybe this road won't lead me anywhere
But if I don't tell you now (if I don't tell you now)
I may never get the chance again (I may never get the chance
again)
To tell you that I need you, tell you what I'm feeling
If I keep these feelings in
And if I don't say the words (if I don't say the words)
How will you hear what's inside my heart
How will you know then
If I don't tell you now
Ohhh
I'd do anything to be in your dreams and I can't stand standing
by
With this dream that's inside my heart(heart)
Maybe I'm only gonna make a mistake
And there's a chance maybe my heart will break
But if I don't tell you now (if I don't tell you now)
I may never get the chance again (I may never get the chance
again)
To tell you that I need you, tell you what I'm feeling
If I keep these feelings in
And if I don't say the words (if I don't say the words)
How will you hear what's inside my heart
How will you know then
If I don't tell you now
Ooooooh
How will you know you're inside my soul
Oh it's driving me crazy
Cause you don't see, you're the world to me
I'm so afraid to see
The way that I feel for you
If I don't tell you now (if I don't tell you now)
I may never get the chance again (I may never get the chance
again)
To tell you that I need you, tell you what I'm feeling
If I keep these feelings in
And if I don't say the words (if I don't say the words)
How will you hear what's inside my heart
How will you know then
If I don't tell you now
Ohhhh ohhhh
If I don't tell you now
3.You
Written:Lauren Christy/Graham Edwards/Scott Spock/Ronan Keating
Da da da da da yeah
Ooooooh oooh yeah
People on planes
People on trains
People in cars and travelin' in spaceships
To a trillion stars
A million smiles
A million frowns
There's so many streets and towns
To loose yourself, to find yourself
But I found the answer with you
Cause you, you are my one and only
And you, you were the one that showed me love
Through all of this life's confusion
You are the light that guides my way
Here on the stage
I'm all alone
Singing out loud
Here in the spotlight
Are you there in the crowd?
Well I'm talking to you
And I'm trying to say that I miss you so
Sometimes I loose myself, I find myself
I found the answer with you
Cause you, you are my one and only
And you, you were the one that showed me love
Through all of this life's confusion
You are the light that guides my way (my way)
And I know (and I know)
When I'm next to you
All the crazy noise goes away
When I hold you in my arms yeah
I can feel the peace and calm yeah
I can lie here, I can die here with no regrets no no way
You, you are my one and only
And you, you were the one that showed me love
Through all of this life's confusion
You are the light that guides my way
Cause you, you are my one and only
And you, you were the one that showed me love
Through all of this life's confusion
You are the light that guides my way
And it's you yeah
And it's you yeah
And it's you yeah
Just you yeah
4.Since 13
Written:Lauren Christy/Graham Edwards/Scott Spock/Ronan Keating
Na na na na
Woah ohhh oh ohhh oh
You get lost and lonely
Do you remember times we had
When we were young and crazy fools (ohhhoh oh)
Well we went mad on Sundays
We'd go dancing off our feet
Yeah we were breaking all the rules (ohhhoh oh)
I've always been with you since 13
So come on up, and come on in
You can wear my clothes again
Come on up, and come on in
Pretend to we were way back when
I'm still in love with you my friend
Still since then
You could be in a convent
You could be on a New York train
You could be gettin' drunk in Spain, but you're not
I've had your heart with me since 13
So come on up, and come on in
You can wear my clothes again
Come on up, and come on in
Pretend to we were way back when
I'm still in love with you my friend
Still since then
Ooooooh
Okay you might have not said yes, but you did
And I weigh the benefits
So come on up, and come on in
You can wear my clothes again
Come on up, and come on in
Pretend to we were way back when
I'm still in love with you my friends
Still since then
I'm still in love with you my friends

Still since then
5.This Is Your Song
Live your life to the fall
With a lifetime of smiles
Made us know right from wrong
Always knowing a lie
You made us to be tough
But never too rough
Rise above what you said
Never easily lead.
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
just a minute or two
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
So I'll try and go on
Loving all that we know
Through the hardest of times
you put on a show
You made us stand tall
When all around us would fall
Even when you were alone
You believed you could fly
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
We wrote it for you
It'll take all our lives
Just to help us get through
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song.
6.At The End Of A Perfect Day
It's all in a perfect way
Just a part of the perfect way
And as long as the world goes around
I will pray as I lay me down
At the end of a perfect day
I wake to greet another morning
And feel the cold beneath my feet
I rise to hear my future calling
It's calling to me
I watch the people through my window
Then turn the radio up loud
And then I sit and watch the sun go
And I know as the rain's coming down
It's all in a perfect way
Just a part of the perfect way
And as long as the world goes around
I will pray as I lay me down
At the end of a perfect day
Everybody needs some highs and lows
I guess we're lucky to be here
And I don't care which way the wind blows
Cos I know through the laughter and the tears
It's all in a perfect way
Just a part of the perfect way
And as long as the world goes around
I will pray as I lay me down
At the end of a perfect day
Just a part of the perfect way
And as long as the world goes around
I will pray as I lay me down
At the end of a perfect
At the end of a perfect
At the end of a perfect day
7.I Will Miss You
I thought that I
Was like an island
Guess I was wrong
Guess I was wrong
I see your face
And then it hits me
That I will miss you
Oh when you're gone
My heart will sleep
Until you wake it
I hope and pray
It won't be long
This house is home
And when you leave it
Then I will miss you
Oh when you're gone
I've been taking it all for granted
It was there in front of my face
I couldn't see into understanding
And how could I know
How could I loose my way
I've been taking it all for granted
I got no excuses for that
I couldn't see into understanding
But how could I know
I wonder when you look back
Will you remember
Our road is straight
Our road is long
My heart is with you
And I will miss you
Oh I will miss you
I know I will miss you
Oh when you're gone
8.Even If I'm Gone
every time i go away
You know i want to stay
I feel like i'm turning to
I try to overcome this pain
There's no easy way
I'm already missing you
As i look out over the northern lights
I can almost feel you here tonight (2x)
Even if i'm gone
And it feels like forever
I pray us soon be home
In your loving arms again
And even if i'm gone
There's a part of you still with me
Close my eyes and i think how beautiful
And i know i'm not alone.
So i'm trying to be strong
I know i carry on
I still feel the emptiness
If only i can find a way
To be together every day and it say
Back to the loneliness
See the full moon shine in the distant sky
I can almost feel you by my side (2x)
See the full moon shine in the distant sky
And i wonder if you can hear me crying
Hear me cry......
Soon be home........
In your loving arms.......
(close my eyes)
9.Fairy Tale In New York
It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me,
Won't see another one
And then he sang a song
'the rare old mountain dew'
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our
Dreams come true
They've got cars
Big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes
Right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first
Took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was
Waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks
They were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
Chorus:
The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing 'galway bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old
Sl*t on junk
Lying there almost
Dead on a drip
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You're cheap and you're haggard
Happy christmas your arse
I pray god
It's our last
Repeat chorus
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when
I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams
Around you
Repeat chorus
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na
10.Feel
just one more dance
When can we touch?
I wanna believe so much
That you needed me
We're near the time
Our bodies combine
This touch feels so kind
Could this really be
Woo oooo (4x)
Under the sheets
So close to me
Let's take it one more step
You're all i need
Our lips caress
My hands are all yours
Our bodies they feel so warm
You feel it too
Wooo oooo
I wanna feel the world shake (wooo ooo)
I wanna feel the earth break (wooo ooo)
I wanna feel you everyway (wooo ooo)
I wanna hear your every scream (wooo ooo)
I wanna fill your every dream (wooo ooo)
I wanna drink your wine
With a taste so pure
Your body in in love with mine
Now it's the time
Wooo oooo
I wanna feel the world shake (wooo ooo)
I wanna feel the earth break (wooo ooo)
I wanna feel you everyway (wooo ooo)
I wanna hear your every scream (wooo ooo)
I wanna fill your every dream (wooo ooo)
Tonight is the night
When i take your hand
Tonight i lay you down
All by yourself
11.I Got My Love On You

Oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh baby (oh baby)
Everybody got their heart on something
I got my heart on you
Oh baby
And everybody got their card on someone

People run from intimacy
They wanna be free, they wanna be free

But i aint gonna beg you

Take a look at my heart girl
And look outside
When i'm with you, god i feel alive
Can i tell you something, girl it's you or nothing
Cause every night i'm dreaming
Of making love to you
Ahhhhh lets' make dreams come true
Chorus
Cause everybody got the cards
Everybody got the heart
Girl let's not fight no more
Girl let's not fight this no moreeeeeeeeeeee
Chorus
Let's do something wild
Like making a child
Dance thru the night my love
One look in your eyes and i'm paralyzed
You're god's gift from up above
Chorus
12.In Love There Is No Pride
I was full of
Simple dreams, yeah
Thought i'd find her
And be with her full time
She's not mine,
Thought i'd find
A name with mine
4:00 am on monday morning
And i can't get you
Out of my head
At all, should i call
Hearts gonna
Fall in love again
Chorus:
With love
There is no pride
Should've been strong
Taking changes on
Love isn't wrong
There's nowhere
Left to hide,
Wrong or right
Could it be that
I hold you
I was never one
To beg at all
But i'm dying here for
All of your love
Repeat chorus
And all these thoughts
Race through my head
Will it be, that
I'll never have
Your touch,
Your feel
You near to me
Will it ever be
Oh
Repeat chorus
13.Lovin' Each Day
Yeah - uh
We're lovin' each day as if it's our last
Dancing all night and havin' a blast
Oh baby i need you here
Girl i'm on a mission
To cure my condition
Cos without your kissin'
My heart's just a prison
I'm hoping and wishin'
That girl i'm forgiven
Say yeah
Cos every time you leave me i'm sad
The moment you're returning i'm glad
So let's not go forgetting what we have
Cause it's bad
We're lovin' each day as if it's our last
Dancing all night and havin' a blast
Oh baby, i want you right here next to me
We're lovin' each day as if it's our last

14.My Heart Is Not My Own
oh,oh, yeah,
Oh yeah,
Underneath it all was everything i did not say,
All the scenes i've pulled was me just trying to find my way,
Just putting on a show, but in the light of day,
I see it all, it's crystal clear, what i needed most
Was waiting all along right here
Baby my love goes on,
Choices i made were wrong,
You are where i belong,
You're all i've got, my heart is not my own.
Not my own
Almost gave up hope of ever finding peace of mind,
Almost lost my soul, seeking what i could not find.
Chasing things i knew could never satisfy my heart,
I left my heart, i left my life, i left my senses
And i drove all night
Baby my love goes on,
Choices i made were wrong,
You are where i belong,
You're all i've got, my heart is not my own.
Not my own
I left my home, i left my life, i left my senses
And i drove all night,
I see it now, it's crystal clear, what i needed most
Was right here, right here
Baby my love goes on,
Choices i made were wrong,
You are where i belong,
You're all i've got, my heart is not my own
Baby my love goes on
Choices i made were wrong,
You are where i belong,
You're all i've got, my heart is not my own.
Baby, baby, yeah baby..... (fade)
15.Somedays
I woke this morning, shoes untight
Shower's burst, radio light,
Car won't start, it's cold outside,
Somedays are like that.
Got the bus that never came,
Walked to work, lost my job,
And you don't love me anymore,
Somedays are like that.
Somedays are like that.
All the lights are stuck on red,
Empty heart, empty bad
Die on the news and love is dead,
Somedays are like that.
Walked the dog, that ran away,
I've got nothing good to say,
You don't love me anymore
These days are all we have
Don't waste them all, and good gone bad
I lost her she had to go
Now i know, now i know....
Chorus:
Somedays are like that (somedays are like that) (4x)
I woke this morning, shoes were tight,
Shower worked i found my pride,
I think i take the parking ride,
Somedays are like that
I was blind now i can see,
The road that lies ahead of me,
I guess you took the worst of me,
Now i know, now i know
Somedays are like that (somedays are like that) (4x)
These days are all we have, don't waste them all, the good gone
bad
These days are all we have, don't waste them all, the good gone
bad
(somedays are like that) (4x)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oooh
Somedays are like that (somedays are like that)
16.Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Lyrics:E.Y.Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen
somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
And way above the chimney tops
Is where you'll find me, and
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that i heard of
Once in a lullaby
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
And way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me, and
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, or why, can't I?
17.Song To
You think you've seen it all
You've been all
You can be
One thing comes along
And changes everything
You came into our world
And changed our way of life
There you were so helpless
And so beautiful
Chorus:
You'll recognize in time
The things i've
Said and done
You'll recognize in time
My son
Someone has passed it on
Giving us the chance
Watching as we grow
Hope we can
Make a chance
This time
I hope i can
Help you grow
Show you what
I don't know
Help you
Be the person
That you wanna be
Time will pass so fast
I'm holding to the past
Soon you'll be on
Your very own
Repeat chorus
Nananna
Nananan
Nananana
You'll recognize in time
The things i've
Said and done
You'll recognize in time
My son
Someone has passed it on
Giving us the chance
Someone takes your hand
All part of the plan
Someone has passed it on
Giving us the change
This time
Watching as we grow
Hope we can
Make a change
This time
Nananna
Nananan

18.Starlight
if i ever let you down ..friend
I'll apologize... now
And if i didn't hear you call for me
I was feeling sorry for myself
When the moon begins to fade ...out
And the sun don't care to shine
When your heavens starts to fall...down
I'll be your guiding starlight
And if i serenade myself
And put my pride on the shelf
And tell you that i was wrong
I guess it's not news to me
I guess it's just history
That a man gets it wrong
Gets it wrong...
When the morning hurts your eyes...friend
And you can't see... from crying
And the day turns into night time
And hope holds no tomorrow
When the moon begins to fade ...out
And your sun don't care to shine
When the heavens starts to fall...down
I'll be your guiding starlight
And this fair weather friend
Was never at the rainbow's end
To sing the saddest song
I guess it's not news to me
I guess it's just history
Should have been there all along
All along
If the moon begins to fade ...out
And your sun don't care to shine
When the heavens starts to fall...down
I'll be your guiding starlight
I'll be your guiding starlight
I'll be your guiding starlight
19.Tender

20.The Long Goodbye
the long goodbye
I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free (so they say)
But it sure is hard to do
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
And i know they say if they don't come back again
Then it's meant to be ( so they say)
But those words don't pull me through
Cos i'm still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it's just you and me going through the mill
(climbin' up a hill)
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard we try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over.. let's face it
All that's happening here is a long goodbye
Sometimes i ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance ( just one more chance)
And i know without a doubt
It's turning me inside out
And if we walked away
Would make more sense ( only self defense)
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
(on a wing and prayer)
This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can't make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard we try
You're gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it's over.. let's face it
All that's happening here is the long...long goodbye
Are you ever coming back again (x3)
I guess i'm coming back again

21.The Town I Loved So Well
in my memory, i will always see
The town that i loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gas yard wall
And they laughed through the smoke and the smell
Going home in the rain, riding up the dark lane
Past the jail, and down behind the fountain
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
In the town i loved so well
In the early mornin' the shirt factory horn
Called women from cryin', the moor and the bog
While the men on the dole played a mother's role
Fed the children and then walked the dog
And when times got tough there was just about enough
And they saw it through without complainin'
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town i loved so well
There was music there in the derriere
Like a language that we all could understand
I remember the day that i earned my first pay
When i played in a small pick-art band
There i spent my youth, and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For i learned about life, and i found a wife
In the town i loved so well
But when i returned, how my eyes have burned
To see how a town could be brought to its knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed-out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every breeze
Now the army's installed by that old gas yard wall
And the damn barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and their guns, oh my god, what have they done
In the town i loved so well
Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirits be bruised, never broken
They will not forget but their hearts are set
For tomorrow they'll have peace once again
For what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone for ever
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
In the town i loved so well
22.These Days
these days, i've been feeling lucky
Looking all around me
I see so many dreams that have come true
Like me right next to you
Like the angels coming through
These days have only just begun
Someone to come home to
Each and every night
All of my tomorrows
Are finally looking bright
Oh what, i won't rush it,
Why would i dare?
Nothing could compare
To the way i've been feeling these days
They are the best i've ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we we're so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought i'd feel this way
Cos all i ever really wanted is these days
If i could, i'd try to freeze the moment
Set aside the future
Stay right here right now
So time won't fly
Like the flame that never dies
Like the love that's in your eyes
These days have only just begun
Something to believe in
When the world is going mad
And when the rain is crashing down girl
It doesn't seem so bad
Oh what, i won't rush it
Why would i dare?
Nothing could compare
To the way i've been feeling these days
They are the best i've ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we we're so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought i'd feel this way
Cos all i ever really wanted is these days
They are the best i've ever had
And they have only just begun
Here we we're so connected
Like the moon is to the sun
I never thought i'd feel this way
Cos all i ever really wanted is these days
They are the best i've ever had and they have only just begun...
23.Whiskey In The Jar
i was a-goin' over gilgarra mountain
I met with captain farrell, and his money he was countin'.
First i drew my pistols and then i drew my rapier,
Sayin' 'stand and deliver, for i am your bold deceiver.'
Musha ringum duram da,
Whack fol the daddy-o,
Whack fol the daddy-o,
There's whiskey in the jar.
He counted out his money and it made a pretty penny;
I put it in my pocket to take home to ' jenny.
She sighed and swore she loved me and never would deceive me,
But the devil take the women, for they always lie so easy!
Musha ringum duram da
I went into me chamber all for to take a slumber,
To dream of gold and girls, and of course it was no wonder:
Me jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water,
Called on captain farrell to get ready for the slaughter.
Musha ringum duram da
Next mornin' early, before i rose for travel,
Up came a band of footmen and likewise captain farrell.
I goes to draw my pistol, for she'd stole away my rapier,
But i couldn't shoot for water, so a prisoner i was taken
Musha ringum duram da
They put me into jail with a judge all a-writin':
For robbin' colonel farrell on gilgarra mountain.
But they didn't take me fists and i knocked the jailer down
And bid me a farewell to this tight-fisted town.
Musha ringum duram da
I'd like to find me brother, the one who's in the army;
I don't know where he's stationed, be it cork or in killarney.
Together we'd go roamin' o'er the mountains of kilkenny,
And i swear he'd treat me fairer than my darlin' sportin' jenny!
Musha ringum duram da
There's some that takes delight in the carriages and rollin',
Some that takes delight in the hurley or the bollin',
But i takes delight in the juice of the barley,
Courtin' pretty maids in the mornin', o so early!
Musha ringum duram da
24.Your Song
it's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not not of those, who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but boy if i did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If i was a sculptor, huh, but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much, but it's the best i can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, i hope you don't mind
That i put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while i wrote this song
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things i do
You see i've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what i really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes i've ever seen
And you can tell everybody, this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, i hope you don't mind
That i put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind, i hope you don't mind
That i put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world...(fade out)
