If I Ever Lose My Faith In You (Sting)

If I Ever Lose My Faith In You

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress

You could say I lost my belief in the holy churches

You could say I lost my sense of direction

You could say all of this and worse but

If I ever lose my faith in you

There’d be nothing left for me to do

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world

You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV

You could say I’d lost my belief in our politicians

They all seemed like game show hosts to me

If I ever lost my faith in you

There’d be nothing left for me to do

I could be lost inside their lies without a trace

But every time I close my eyes I see your face

I never saw no miracle of science

That didn’t go from a blessing to a curse

I never saw no military solution

That didn’t always end up as something worse but

Let me say this first

If I ever lose my faith in you

There’d be nothing left for me to do

If I ever lose my faith,

If I ever lose my faith,

If I ever lose my faith,

If I ever lose my faith in you

Every Breath You Take (The Police)

Every Breath You Take

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I’ll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I’ll be watching you

Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please,

Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you

Angel Eyes (Sting)

Angel Eyes

Have you ever had the feeling that the world’s gone and left you behind?

Have you ever had the feeling that you’re that close to losing your mind?

You look around each corner hoping that she’s there

You try to play it cool perhaps pretend that you don’t care

But it doesn’t do a bit of good

You’ve got to seek till you find

or you never unwind [all right]

Try to think when [that] love is not around

Still it’s uncomfortably near

My all [old] heart ain’t gainin’ no ground

Because my angel eyes ain’t here

Angel eyes that old devil sent

They glow unbearably bright

Need I say that my love is misspent

Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people

Order anything you [you’ll] see

Have fun you happy people

The drink and the laugh is on me

Pardon me but I’ve got to run

The fact’s uncomfortably clear

Got to find who is now number one

and why my angel eyes ain’t here

Tell me why my angel eyes ain’t here

Ask me why my angel eyes ain’t here

Excuse me while I disappear

A Thousand Years (Sting)

A Thousand Years

A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face

A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune’s child to judge another’s crimes
Or wear this pilgrim’s cloak, or be a common thief
I’ve kept this single faith, I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid,
Until you love me

I'm In Love With You (Steve Forbert)

 <The Best of Steve Forbert>

 

I’m in love with you

Take me up shake me out and hang me on your line

I’m a fool for you

I looked up saw you smile then I saw your eyes

I’m in love with you

You too much for me

I’m a worn out sail on a sidewalk sea

There’s a light there’s a fire shining day and night

It came burning through

Shine on me shine on down keep me high and dry

I’m in love with you

You too much for me

I’m a worn out sail on a sidewalk sea

Too many faces breakin’ aces half into

Sun rises in scarlet singin’ further down and blue

I’m on a sidewalk

They’re agin’ and angry

Maybe it’s too many morning waking lonely calling you

Time goes by

You break 

You don’t know what to do

I looked up saw you smile

I know I’m not so strong

Know I’m in love with you

You too much for me

I’m a worn out sail on a sidewalk sea

Yes la la la la la la la la la la
