Afraid for Love to Fade - Jose Mari Chan

Getting closer to your flame But I feel safer looking from a distance History's the one to blame Don't wanna crash and burn I'm melting in your arms And if I start falling I lose all my walls and (oh) There's nothing left to save me (oh) I'm out on an island I promise I'm trying But all of my ghosts are telling me to run And now I'll make you a memory It's time to start giving up Before I l-o-o-o-o-se, l-o-o-o-o-se my mind And all the butterflies fading Into feelings that keep me far away from you 'Cause I'm afraid to love, I'm afraid to love It's too late to find a cure 'Cause I've already went and picked my poison (oh) Security in closing doors Just thе product of the path I've chosen (oh-oh-oh) And if I start falling I losе all my walls and (oh) There's nothing left to save me (oh-oh) I'm out on an island I promise I'm trying But I'm hearing voices telling me to run And now I'll make you a memory (memory) It's time to start giving up (giving up) Before I l-o-o-o-o-se, l-o-o-o-o-se my mind And all the butterflies fading Into feelings that keep me far away from you 'Cause I'm afraid to love, I'm afraid to love (Hey yeah) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (I'm afraid to love) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Hey, yeah) (Huh-huh) (I'm afraid)

My gears they grind More each day And I feel like They're gonna grind away And the city blocks They drive me wild They're never ending Mile after mile I just don't know what to do I'm too afraid to love you It's heaven on earth In her embrace Her gentle touch And her smiling face I'm just one wishing That I was a pair With someone Oh somewhere I just don't know what to do I'm too afraid to love you All those sleepless nights And all those wasted days I wish loneliness would leave me But I think it's here to stay What more can I do I'm wringing myself dry And I can't afford to lose One more teardrop from my eye I'm too afraid I'm too afraid I just don't know what to do With myself Thinkin' all the time Don't know what to do Don't know what to do Drivin' me outta my mind

I've seen you tearing down the highway I've seen you standing in the shade I've seen you holding a baby My love for you will not fade The wind he whispers to the golden light The wind he glances off the lake Autumn is putting up a good old fight My love for you will not fade The pen is only for the paper The ink aches for the page The water wants to be a river My love for you will not fade My love for you will not fade My love for you has not faded I won't go gentle in the deep dark night Like wind painting lace on the waves I'll roll you over in the pale moonlight My love for you will not fade Black river hotter than the July sun Wild fire on a bloodshot day When our ashes have burned to dust My love for you will not fade I wrote seven lines only seven lines Only took seven lines to send it away You wrote seven lines only seven lines Only took seven lines to send it away My love for you will not fade My love for you will not fade My love for you is not faded I've seen you tearing down the highway I've seen you standing in the shade I've seen you holding a baby

There's only need, I love your need So much I'm losing me I cannot see the reason for the pain With hungry joy, I'll be your toy Just hoping you will play Without the hope, my body starts to fail Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade but the scars still linger Ohh ho I cannot grow, I cannot move I cannot feel my age The vice like grip of tension holds me fast Engulfed by you, what can I do? When history's my cage Look forward to a future in the past Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade but the scars still linger Woh woh The more I talk, the more I say The less you seem to hear I'm speechless in a most peculiar way Your mind is weak, your need is great And nothing is too dear For you to use to take the pain away Memories fade but the scars still linger Goodbye my friend Will I ever love again? Memories fade Now don't pretend, you can justify the end Memories fade but the scars still linger Woh woh, still linger Still linger, woh

I look out and I see the rain As it falls on my window pane And the music that's in my heart Is a sad refrain Endless traffic of sounds and sights Midst the glitter of neon lights Still the music that's in my heart Is the same sad refrain Mem'ries of you follow everywhere I go Down the high and bi-ways of my days Music of your laughter fills my every dream Like a love song from long ago Never-ending streams of faces come and go Million diff'rent people all around No use searching for I'll never find you there For you are far beyond compare Take a jet to a hideaway From the hum-drum of every day Yet the music that's in my heart Is the same, sad refrain Mem'ries of you follow everywhere I go Down the high and bi-ways of my days Music of your laughter fills my every dream Like a love song from long ago Never-ending streams of faces come and go Million diff'rent people all around No use searching for I'll never find you there For you are far beyond compare La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la No use searching for I'll never... No use searching for I'll never find you there For you are far beyond compare, mmm

It's 2am we're lying in bed Stillness all around there's not a sound except in my head Of happy songs children laughing Kids celebrating youth like it never would end Not long ago they sat on our knees We drew cartoons, flew to the moon, trimmed Christmas Trees But time has flown look how they've grown Soon she'll be you, and soon he'll be, like me There's no rewinding no replay The chance you lose today will be gone when it's gone We'll never be quite as strong nor as young as this again Make them last, make these moments last, right now But time has flown look how they've grown We'll never be quite as strong nor as young as this again Make them last, make these moments last, right now

Whenever I see girls and boys Selling lanterns on the street I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps Wherever there are people Giving gifts exchanging cards I believe that Christmas is truly in their hearts Let's light our Christmas trees for a bright tomorrow Where nations are at peace And all are one in God Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus Let Him be the one to guide us as another new year starts And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts In every prayer and every song the community unites Celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ Let love like that starlight on that first Christmas morn Lead us back to the manger where Christ the child was born So come let us rejoice Come and sing a Christmas carol with one big joyful voice Proclaim the name of the Lord Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus Let Him be the one to guide us as another new year starts And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus Let Him be the one to guide us as another new year starts And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

May the good Lord bless and keep you, Whether near or far away. May you find that long-awaited golden day today. May your troubles all be small ones, And your fortune ten times ten. May the good Lord bless and keep you 'til we meet again. May you walk with sunlight shining And a bluebird in ev'ry tree. May there be a silver lining Back of ev'ry cloud you see. Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrow. Never mind what might have been. May the good Lord bless and keep you 'Til we meet again. May the good Lord bless and keep you 'Til we meet, 'Til we meet ('til we meet) again.
