3. Strange Foreign Beauty
Strange foreign beauty I'll never know what's in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
does anyone know the secret of your mind
Strange foreign beauty I'll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
does anyone know the secret of your life
Strange foreign beauty You'll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
are slipping away disappearing in the air
(You'll) never know what I felt for you
you were always on my mind
(I'll) never know how it feels to hold you
how it feels to be with you
4. Sleeping Child
The Milky Way upon the heavens is twinkling just for you
and Mr. Moon he came by to say goodnight to you
I'll sing for you I'll sing for mother We're praying for the world
and for the people everywhere gonna show them all we care
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild but you've build your own
paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
If all the people around the world they had a mind like yours
we'd have no fighting and no wars there would be lasting peace on Earth
If all the kings and all the leaders could see you here this way
they would hold the Earth in their arms they would learn to watch you play
Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild but you've build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you sleeping child
I'm gonna cover my sleeping child Keep you away from the world so wild
5. Romantic Balcony
The sun is almost down and we are both enjoying the sound
of the ocean softly brushing against the land
We are sleeping you and me with a smell of tulip tree
under the starry sky on a romantic balcony
But a pain inside my chest wakes me up
The truth is slowly spreading on the smokey battlefield
I am bleeding from my heart and I... I feel so tired
I guess I have to rest for a while
High above this world missing your love
I can see your face in tears when you so far away from here
read the messages from the war: "The battle took one more"
I wanna tell the nurse a secret my lips won't move
Oh she really looks like you
High (nothing can touch us now) above (no one to tell us how
this world (I am sorry for the soldiers)
missing your love (who are still alive in the war
Hey you I wanna live
I don't wanna be a wounded soldier don't wanna let your face grow older
Hey you take me to the ocean
take me to the smell of tulip tree to the romantic balcony
