I hear the ticking of the clock
I’m lying here the room’s pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won’t end though
Alone...
* Till now..
I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone ...
How do I get you alone ...
You don’t know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don’t know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret, is still my own
And my love for you.. is still unknown
Alone ...
Repeat *
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

I hear the drums echoing tonight.
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation.
She is coming in twelve thirty flight.
Moonlit wings reflect the stars
that guide me towards salvation.
I stopped an old man along the way
hoping to find some long forgotten
words or ancient melodies.
He turned to me as if to say,
* Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
** It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you...
There's nothing that a hundred
men or more could ever do.
I bless the rains down in Africa.
Gonna take some time
to do the things we never had.
Wild dogs cry out in the night, as they grow restless
longing for some solitary company.
I know that I must do what's right
sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
above the Serengeti.
I seem to cure what's deep inside,
frightened of this thing that I've become…
Repeat **

Life is full of lots of up and downs
And the distance feels further when you're headed for the
ground
And there is nothing more painful than to let you're feelings
take you down
It's so hard to know the way you feel inside
When there's many thoughts and feelings that you hide
But you might feel better if you let me walk with you
by your side
And when you need a shoulder to cry on
When you need a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
You won't be alone, cause I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
you won't be alone, cause I'll be there
All of the times when everything is wrong
And you're feeling like
There's no use going on
You can't give it up
I hope you work it out and carry on
Side by side,
With you till the end
I'll always be the one to firmly hold your hand
no matter what is said or done
our love will always continue on
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on
everyone needs a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
you won't be alone cause I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be the one you rely on
when the whole world's gone
you won't be alone
cause I'll be there! And when the whole world is gone
You'll always have my shoulder to cry on....
