Lady in red

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright.
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance.
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hairs that catch your eyes,
I have been blind.

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheeck to cheeck.
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be.
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing.
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away.
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight.

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheeck to cheeck,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be.
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
I never will forget the way you look tonight.....
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red.

Oh my brave hearts

Oh my brave hearts, we must leave this land tomorrow,
We can't live here anymore,
And in the quiet hours, we talk before the dawn.

And the old hearts, they are calling from the shadows,
Telling us we must not go, oh but we cannot fight
The power of the gun, to take away our land,
They take it from our sons, swear it on my hand:

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunters moon, and watch our river flow,
It's not gone forever.

Oh my bold hearts, we will go down to the city,
we will live by city light, but in the darkest hour
Keep this fire alive.

We will grow strong, we will bring our wealth together,
Never showing what we have,
And when the time has come we'll reach out for the gun,
Taking back our land, take it for our sons,
Swear it on my hand:

We will return to run here like the wolf,
And see the hunters moon, and watch our river flow.
We will return to touch the open sky,
And see the eagle fly, and feel the morning rain,
It's not gone forever.
We will return.
Oh my brave hearts,
We gonna come back, we gonna come back.
We will return,
Oh my brave hearts,
We will return.

The snows of New York

I can see you now by the light of the dawn,
And the sun is rising slow.
We have talked all night, and I can't talk anymore,
But I must stay and you must go.

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me.

There are those who fail, there are those who fall,
There are those who will never win,
Then there are those who fight for the things they believe,
And these are men like you and me.

In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore,
Leaving footprints by the sea,
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand,
That was when you carried me.

You have always been such a good friend to me,
Through the thunder and the rain,
And when you're feeling lost in the snows of New York,
Lift your heart and think of me.
Lift your heart and think of me.
