You're always there for me You keep me company On life's long and lonely journey It seemed I had no choice Since I first heard your sweet voice Was destined to fall for you Sat nav woman Stick with me and we'll go far Sat nav woman Be my guiding star 'Cus you ain't got no body And I ain't got nobody Nobody but you Sat nav woman You know the route to my heart Sat nav woman Our destination was love from the start Yeah, you ain't got no body But I ain't got nobody Nobody but you Now some people might call me mad Some may even say I'm sad But I ain't blue 'Cus I got you Sat nav woman Stick with me through the years Sat nav woman We'll make our way through all the gears Sat nav woman (you aint got no body) Together we'll travel so far Sat nav woman (I ain't got nobody) You're my guiding star Sat nav woman (you aint got no body) Be the queen of my heart Sat nav woman (I ain't got nobody) Love was our destination right from the start

I was a fool to watch you walk away Now I think about you each and every day And what would I do if you were here today Can't find the words for what I need to say Deep inside I'm so lonely Living without you Deep inside I'm so lonely I don't know what to do Round and round and round inside my head Goes every single little thing you said These things inside I feel that I must hide I wear a mask all day to appease my pride But deep inside I'm still lonely Living without you Circumstance has left me lonely I don't know what to do Deep inside I'm so lonely Living without you Deep inside I'm so lonely Living without you Circumstance has left me lonely I don't know what to do Deep inside I'm so lonely Living without you Deep inside I'm so lonely Living without you

It always seemed to be Life wouldn't get any better But now I've come to see That it's down to me And the more I think about it The more it's plain to see The best is yet to be Gotta believe in yourself The truth will set you free Gotta believe in somewhere down the road In another space and time Somewhere down the road There's a place to free your mind You gotta believe in somewhere down the road In another space and time Yeah, somewhere down the road There's a place to free your mind And the more I dream about it The more it's plain to see The best is yet to be

You put your hand out to me And took me into your life Never told you before I wish I'd treated you right And when I close my eyes at night I see you Never been so far So far away from home Never thought I needed anyone Could face life alone But when I look back to Earth In my mind I see you You put your hand out to me And took me into your life Never told you before I wish I'd treated you right And when I close my eyes at night I see you And you're so far away So very far away You're just so far Far away Never felt like I'm so alive Never felt so alone Never felt like I'm so alive Never felt so alone Maybe you were the one But I let you get away Now stars fall like tears Through the Milky Way Never been so far So far away from home Never thought I needed anyone Could face life alone But when I look back to Earth In my mind I see you Never felt like I'm so alive Never felt so alone Never felt like I'm so alive Never felt so alone

Butterflies 03:19
I can feel butterflies flying Whenever I think about You (I can feel butterflies) You (flying) You (I can feel butterflies) When I think about you With ever minuet that is dying I get a little closer to You (I can feel butterflies) You (flying) You (I can feel butterflies) Closer to you But I don't need your love And I really don't care Don't want to save you from yourself Yet still when I think about you I can feel butterflies flying Flying from my heart to you And this feeling that overcomes me Hits me straight out of the Blue (I can feel butterflies) Blue (flying) Blue (I can feel butterflies) Out of the blue I can feel butterflies flying And I hope you feel them Too (I can feel butterflies) Do (flying) You (I can feel butterflies) Feel them too Whenever I think about you Those butterflies know just what to do Whenever I think about you

Out in the sunshine Dreaming away Maybe tomorrow We'll sail away I think I can see The real me Flowing with the river Birds swim in a sky Of distant blue The clouds rolling by Remind me of you Feels so free Just to be Flowing with the river of life And it's a dream We weave together Life (a tapestry of emotion) Life (and it stretches on forever) Life (we are the universe in motion) Out in the sunshine Dreaming away Maybe tomorrow We'll sail away I think I can see The real me

Echoes 03:20
How many rainbows How many dreams How many years Have we traveled How many rainbows How many tears have fallen How many dreams Have unraveled The echoes of your love Make me cry The echoes of your love Make me fly Through all the good times Through all the bad You were the best And the worst times I ever had Your beauty Cast a spell on me Your beauty Worked it's magic on me The echoes of your love Make me cry The echoes of your love Make me fly Just as leaves Fallen from the trees Our love has blown away On the breeze The echoes of your love Make me cry The echoes of your love Make me fly Just as leaves Fallen from the trees Our love has blown away On the breeze Our love Whoa, whoa, yeah Our love Whoa, whoa Our love

Gotta say the way you look tonight Has set my heart and soul in flight Intoxicated in a most wonderful way Might as well be on the Moon Tell the moons of Jupiter I'll be there soon 'Cus something in your smile Makes me float away Captivated by your charm As we saunter arm in arm And just one look from you Takes my breath away Might as well be on the Moon Tell the moons of Jupiter I'll be there soon Emancipated As I float away Might as well be on the Moon Tell the moons of Jupiter I'll be there soon 'Cus something in your smile Makes me float away Yeah, there's something in your style Captivates me, I'm beguiled When just a glance from you Says more than words can say Oh, and when I'm by your side I just float away

Need to wash away the pain But memories remain It will never be the same So I'll go walking in the rain Walking in the rain To wash away the pain Though memories remain It'll never be the same So I'm walking in the rain Yeah, yeah Just walking in the rain Yeah, yeah Walking in the rain I met you on the way to happiness I lost you on the way to love Now I'm walking in the rain To wash away the pain Though memories remain We'll never be the same So I'm walking in the rain Yeah, yeah Just walking in the rain Yeah, yeah Walking in the rain

There's a light in your eyes I see hope, clear blue skies There's a life waiting for you There are dreams to breathe life into Losing in the game of life Time and time again Every time that you stand up They knock you down again There are friends you're yet to meet Yet to sense the world at your feet Through the fear the storms and the rain You will be free to be you again There's always A silver lining Gonna find it Someday You just need The will to find it Let that silver lining Light your way There's always A silver lining You're gonna find it Someday There's always A silver lining You're gonna find it Someday
