The past is a foreign land so this was far away
When we two met by accident and jumped into the fray
He expected to meet someone else and so in fact did I
It was years ago December and the snow was falling down
We laughed and fell together and made angels on the ground
Who needs to take vacation when you’ve got the warmth of two
And soon the rest would follow
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
It was closer to a blizzard than I ever thought I’d see
We took forever vows among our friends and family
We left together for a honeymoon in sunny climes
And soon the rest would follow
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
It was snowing hard again on another winter day
I asked him where he’ d been and he didn’t want to say
His body was still here but his eyes were far away
And soon the rest would follow
Like a downhill racing sled
It might have been predicted
Where this cold snowfall led
The year turns round
the snow returns over and again
And soon the rest will follow
And soon the rest will follow
And soon the rest will follow

Throw Me Away
03:57
|

I would do whatever it would take me
to pay penance for my sins
even if accusations break me
on my way to breaking in
Give me just one chance to understand it
as you watch me spin out of control
so alone, I must be branded
help me, bring me back my soul
Ch:
This was not what I expected
when we bought our tickets to the show
Don’t throw them away
Don’t throw them away
Maybe there’s an encore to make it better
Maybe there’s a sequel to this play
Don’t throw me away
Don’t throw me away
vs 3
Waiting for the closing of the season
trying to find some cover from the rain
but the forecast gives no reason
the clouds will ever change
And now the curtain call is over
There’s no delaying this I fear
It just takes one to end this story
without even a souvenir
Bridge
I’d beg forgiveness if I knew what I had done
But maybe I should be forgiving you

Chance
04:19
|

You never know which dreams will stick around
In the attic of your mind
But sometimes second chances catch you by surprise
when you’d become resigned
I would have thought it was impossible
Expecting anything at all
But the impossible can sometimes turn to real
Unexpectedly you fall
Chorus:
In the story of my life
I expect no certainty
If you told me I would laugh and disbelieve that we could be
A second chance for better memories
I never know which dreams will stick around
Always far back in my mind
I was a doubter, never thought my dream was true
I left that skeptic heart behind
Chorus
A second chance is hard to find
Chorus

Second Heartbreak
03:50
|
|||
The second time you broke my heart
It wasn’t cause you left me
It was because I saw your pain
And tears and agony
If only I could make it go - Aaah
But I can’t and we both know
That it can only get better if we both hold on
With all the strength we have
And it’s going to get harder before we get away
Every day going by only serves to mark the time
from the second broken heart
Funny how you find that love
can break you more than anger
I always thought it made you feel
As if the world is yours
If only I could make it go — Aaah
But I can’t and we both know
That it can only get better if we both hold on
With all the strength we have
And it’s going to get harder before we get away
Every day going by only serves to mark the time
from the second broken heart
All is not lost, you know you still
Have me and I still have you and
Next to each other, we’re still strong

Christmas Missing You
03:30
|

I’m dreaming of a Christmas that isn’t gray
But I’m not getting that today
All the presents beneath the tree
Don’t mean that much to me
Cause you’re not here
Cause you’re not here
You’re invited and the door is open wide
With food and songs and merriment inside
But i'm missing what would make this Christmas
Mean much more to me
Cause you’re not here
Cause you’re not here
All the family and friends a girl could want
All the joy of a festive Christmas Eve
Wishing for a Christmas miracle
To knock on my front door
"Merry Christmas, darling, it’s me”
Instrumental verse
Repeat bridge
Repeat first verse
Cause you’re not here
Cause you’re not here

You = Spring
05:05
|

It’s dark but I can’t see it
Winter but I can’t feel it
‘Cause you’re better than the sun
No cold is gonna reach me
Not when I’ve you to teach me
We two are more than 1 + 1
I feel a springtime and it’s coming from the heart
With you any time of year is fine
So warm your affection
Now it’s the right direction
For me — I don’t doubt anymore
You say we’re gonna make it
This time I believe it’s
True — I don’t doubt anymore
Faith and forgiveness of the past
Makes me sure it’s going to last
Even when we make mistakes
I trust the smile in your eyes
‘Cause you’ve made me realize
You and me are what it takes
I feel a springtime and it’s coming from the heart
With you any time of year is fine
So warm your affection
Now it’s the right direction
For me — I don’t doubt anymore
You say we’re gonna make it
This time I believe it’s
True — I don’t doubt anymore
repeat to end
