Give My Life Lyrics
give my life
(Helen Jayne)


Funny how it goes
But now I know I’m ready to let go
I can let it show
All I want to hear
Is that there’s nothing
left for us to fear
I want to hold you near


‘Cos I would give my life for you
Share the things
You’re going through
Yes I would give my life for you
You know it’s true, I promise you


We’re running out of time
Now all I want is for you to be mine
Can you give a sign?
Baby don’t be cruel
Why do you always
treat me like the fool?
How can you be so cruel?


Chorus

Why don’t you feel the same?
Am I the one to blame?
Why don’t you feel this way?
I long to hear you say…

let me in
(Helen Jayne)


I know you better
than you think I do
Love has begun here
between me and you
And I know you're trying to avoid me
Well that's the way it seems
to me right here


'Cos we're in love
And I don't understand
Why you pretend to yourself
That I'm just your friend
We're in love
And I don't want to play
So put the games all behind
Let me in your mind today


Somewhere in your heart
you know the way
To love me, to hold me,
find the words to say
And I know you're trying to avoid me
Well that's the way it seems
to me right here

when you’re far away
(Helen Jayne)


It was plain to see
how much we were in love
I never knew before
that this could be enough
Our love was special
every moment that we shared
Nothing with you ever compared


I know you loved me
just as much as I loved you
We had to let it go
the hardest thing to do
The pain I feel inside
is all too much to bear
How can I live as if you'd never been there


And when you're far away
I'll close my eyes
imagine that you're here with me
You're here with me...
And when tomorrow comes
Please don't forget the way
you used to look at me
The way we used to be in love


They tell me time will heal
and take away this pain
But in my heart for you
there'll always be a flame
Burning forever, I'll remember you each day
Even though my dreams
have turned to clay

running scared
(Helen Jayne/Doug McKellar)


There are times, when I don't understand
But you take my hand, somehow we make a stand
I walk with you, and life still has its ups and downs
But there's no turning round, now that I've been found


You're there in my disappointment
So what gives me cause to doubt?
The Love that sees through my weakness
I just couldn’t live without


I'm running scared and I'm asking why
There's an ocean out there but this river's run dry
Down on my knees I begin to find
You alone can bring peace of mind


My lack of faith makes me hang my head in shame
It's putting out the flame, like the winter rain
Rescuing me once more by your freely given grace
You put me in my place - I see you face to face


Many times I don't hear your voice
Because I'm frightened of what you'll say
You're telling me your precious words
Am I throwing them all away?

my love is strong
(© Doug McKellar/Helen Jayne 1989)

I know the pain you're going through
I see your broken heart
The times you feel like giving up
Are tearing you apart


Bridge:
Mine is a love that meets you
Where you are
Mine is a love
When you've gone afar
Far from me
I long to feel your trust
I need your all, just a part is not enough


Chorus:
My love sustains
It can wipe away your tears
My love remains
It heals your deepest fears
It's always here to carry you
When your eyes no longer see
My love is strong
It shields you from the enemy


Look to me and I will show
A love that reaches in
And comforts in the deepest parts
To fight the hurt and win


Bridge:
Mine is a love
That will never turn away
Mine is a love
That will make you want to stay
Close to me
A love that's so unique
Reach for me
I need a chance to speak, to your soul

just keep dreaming
(Helen Jayne)


How can I
Tell you that I'm falling?
That I'm falling for you
Is it wrong
And should I hide it?
That I'm falling
and there's nothing I can do


And I can't deny what I am feeling
Though I try to hide
and stop believing
Do you feel the same
or am I only dreaming again?
And even if I am
I'll just keep dreaming on


If only I
Was sure that you felt the same
Then I wouldn't be
oh so ashamed
And I'm afraid
'Cos I feel so close to you
No other one affects me like you do


Chorus

I sit and wonder what you're doing
all of the time
And I wish that you were mine
I thought the years would surely
take this feeling away
But I guess it's here to stay

a little more love
(John Farrar)


Night is draggin' her feet
I wait alone in the heat
I know, know that you'll have your way
Till you have to go home
No's a word I can't say


Cause it gets me nowhere
to tell you no
And it gets me nowhere
to make you go
Will a little more love
make you start depending
Will a little more love
bring a happy ending
Will a little more love make it right?
Will a little more love make it right?


Where, where did my innocence go?
How, how was a young girl to know?
I'm trapped, trapped in the spell of your eyes
In the warmth of your arms
In the web of your lies

falling deep in love
(Helen Jayne)


There's something in the way
you say my name
And now I'm sure that this is not a game
I was insecure inside
And I was always tryin' to hide
Oh I don't know what's gonna come
But all I know is that


I'm falling deep in love
Falling deeper than before
I never thought it would be possible
To love you more
And darlin' when your eyes meet mine
The stars begin to shine
We're growing close
and falling deep in love


I can't believe the way you look at me
You say you'd give your life
that I might go free
Well I respect you from the start
I hope we never break apart
Cos we don't know what's gonna come
But all I see is that


Chorus

You're the one who soothes
away my fears
You're the one who wipes
away my tears
And baby when you look at me I know

my energy
(Pauline Snell)


Tugging at my heartstrings
Playing with my mind
I'm thinking of you baby
'Cos you're one of my kind


Staring out’the window
Listening to the rain
I'm thinking of you baby
And whispering your name, 'cos baby


You are my energy
and I, I see the sunshine in your smile
Yes you are my inspiration
And I will be your friend for a long time


Was I only dreaming
Or did you feel the same?
Guess I'll never know the answer
Till I'm holding you again


How can I explain this?
I've already tried
It's more than just a feeling
And I don't know the reason why


Chorus

I keep on pressing rewind
on the video of my mind
Replaying your words and telling myself
That you were right to walk away
I wanted you to stay
I wanted you to stay 'cos baby

without you
(Helen Jayne)


Only now I realise
how foolish I have been
You know how much I care
But it doesn't make it right
‘Cos I was caught in a dream
I didn't even see
I couldn't hear you speak
Telling me what I should be


And I'm lost, and I'm sinking fast
Without your love in my life
And I'm lost, and I'm sinking fast
Forgive me now
And lift me up again


The days go by and you forgive
You wash it all away
But when will the pain be gone?
I really want to start again
And how can I forgive myself
Like you've forgiven me?
When I took my eyes off You
It happened so easily


Chorus

No matter how hard I try
I still let you down
No matter how strong I feel
I still fall down

still on my mind
(Helen Jayne/Doug McKellar)


So much of your life
You tried to conceal
Always hiding from
The things that were real
You took all my love but I didn’t learn
That you never meant to return


You were good for me
I used to believe
That I’d won your heart
But I was deceived
We could have made it but you didn’t try
And I’m still wondering why


‘Cos I hear your name
And the tears start falling
No more laughing
Now that I’m left behind
With a future calling...
But you are still on my mind


Can it really be
That I still want you
I’m so lonely now
I know we are through
We could have made it but you didn’t try
And I’m still wondering why

is this what you’re waiting for?
(Helen Jayne/Doug McKellar)


Hoping for a silent night
Waiting for the noise in the street
to die down
Knowing that something
in my life’s not right
Longing to be alone with You


We could talk, I could close my eyes
We could walk, through endless fields
Speak of times
When this world was much brighter
Is this what you’re waiting for?


Searching for the source of strength
This fragile world cannot hope
to provide
You know I’d go to any length
To walk the path which satisfies


I’d close my eyes, rise into the air
On new wings that You’ve given me
Speak of change
Make this dark world brighter
Is this what you’re waiting for?
Is this what you’re waiting for?

you’ve got a way
(Shania Twain/Mutt Lange)


You’ve got a way with me
Somehow you got me to believe
In everything that I could be
I’ve gotta say you really got a way


You’ve got a way it seems
You gave me faith to find my dreams
You’ll never know
just what that means
Can’t you see, you got a way with me


It’s in the way you want me
It’s in the way you hold me
The way you show me
just what love’s made of
It’s in the way we make love


You’ve got a way with words
You get me smiling
even when it hurts
there’s no way to measure
what your love is worth
I can’t believe the way you get through to me


Chorus

Oh, how I adore you
Like no one before you
I love you just the way you are

you are my father
(Helen Jayne)


If You open up my eyes
You can open up my hands
You can open up my arms
If You open up my mind
You can open up my voice
And there’ll never be a choice again


You are my Father
And You are my friend
Together we can make
this dream come true
Oh You are my Father
And You are my friend
Together we can make
this dream come true


Now my arms are open wide
And I feel Your love inside
Like I’ve never felt before
Now the dream is coming true
After all that I’ve been through
I can see You by my side


Chorus

You’ve given me Your rest
I know that I am blessed
‘Cos no one understand me
like You do
