CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

MAKE ME A PROMISE STAYS UNBROKEN
LITTLE WHITE LIES REMAIN UNSPOKEN
HEARD IT SAID THEN COME TO FIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS REALLY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

SHOW ME A DREAM I CAN CLING TO
FAIRY TALES THEY DON'T RING TRUE
MAYBE I READ THEN COMES TO MIND
LOVE YEAH LOVE IS TRULY BLIND

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH-OH

'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD AND YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
I CAN'T STAY MAD

NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
THO' YOU TREAT ME BAD YEAH YOU DO ME WRONG
NO I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU
CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG

COULDN'T DO TO YOU THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME
IN TIME I HOPE YOU'LL KNOW-OH-OH
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO-OH-OH
'CAUSE I CAN'T STAY MAD AT YOU FOR VERY LONG

AND BE A REBEL A LITTLE ILL-BEHAVED

YOU'RE GONNA KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
TO SAVE OUR SOULS

YOU'RE GONNA KNOW HARD

★ MAN ON A LEDGE ★

HIS COMPANY WENT BADLY
SADLY BELLY-UP BROKE BUST BANKRUPT
OUT OF BUSINESS TOOK A HIT
A SLOW DOWNWARD SPIRAL TO DESOLATION ROW

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
AS THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

CIRCLING VULTURES WAITING FOR A KILL
VAMPIRES LOOKING FOR THE FIRST DROP
OF BLOOD TO SPILL
SAFETY IN NUMBERS THEY WON'T STOP

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
HE WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
AS THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

WHAT BROUGHT HIM TO THIS
A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE THE ECONOMY
WAS IT GREED OR ANOTHER NEED
MADE HIM TAKE THE FIRST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

WHO'S TO BLAME
HOW EVER DID HE ARRIVE HERE
WILL HE WON'T HE WE CAN ONLY WAIT
THE FUTURE'S SO FAR AND YET SO NEAR

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
WHILE THE CROWD BELOW GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP

AND DRIVEN TO THE EDGE THE MAN ON A LEDGE
WANTS TO CRY OUT LOUD
THE CROWD BELOW SALIVATES AND GOES
JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP

★ TOUCH ME ★

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I'M UNSURE
SOMETIMES I FEEL SO INSECURE
BUT IN THE DEEPEST DARKEST NIGHT
YOU ARE A SHINING LIGHT
AND ON THE BRIGHTEST DAY
YOU SHOW THE WAY WHEN YOU

TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
LET ME KNOW LET THE FEELINGS FLOW
TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
HOLD ME CLOSE DON'T LET GO

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE DOUBTS
SOMETIMES I FEEL SO LEFT OUT
BUT IN MY WORST AND DARKEST HOUR
YOU ARE A GUIDING POWER
AND ON THE SOUREST DAY
YOU POINT THE WAY WHEN YOU

TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
LET ME KNOW LET THE FEELINGS FLOW
TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
HOLD ME CLOSE DON'T LET GO

IMAGINATION GETS THE BEST OF ME
EMOTIONS TAKE THE REST OF ME
BUT I'M OPTIMISTIC NO QUESTIONS NO DEMANDS
YOU HOLD MY HEART IN YOUR HANDS

TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
LET ME KNOW LET THE FEELINGS FLOW
TOUCH ME TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
HOLD ME CLOSE AND DON'T LET GO

TOUCH ME TOUCH ME TOUCH ME
TOUCH ME WITH YOUR LOVE
LET ME KNOW LET THE FEELINGS FLOW
HOLD ME CLOSE DON'T LET GO
TOUCH ME TOUCH ME TOUCH ME

★ TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON ★

FIRST SIGHT OF YOU WAS ALL IT TOOK
JUST ONE LOOK AND I WAS HOOKED
LOST MY HEAD AND THEN MY HEART
THAT IS WHEN THE WISHING STARTS

AND I'M ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
WALKING ON THE HIGHWIRE
ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
EVER HIGHER AND HIGHER

DO YOU EVEN KNOW I EXIST
OR DID YOU SEE THROUGH ME WAS I MISSED
LOST MY HEART AND THEN MY MIND
I'M IN LOVE HOPING YOU'RE NOT BLIND

AND I'M ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
WALKING ON THE HIGHWIRE
ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
EVER HIGHER AND HIGHER

OH-OH THEY MAY SAY I'M CRAZY
DON'T LOOK DOWN – DON'T LOOK DOWN
I WANT TO LIVE IN THE HERE AND NOW
DON'T LOOK DOWN – DON'T LOOK DOWN
NO NOT THE LAND OF MAYBE SOMEDAY
WITH NO WHAT IF OR COME WHAT MAY
SO I'M WISHING AND HOPING MY DREAM WILL COME TRUE
FALLING FOR YOU

I'M ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
WALKING ON THE HIGHWIRE
ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
EVER HIGHER AND HIGHER YEAH
ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON – DON'T LOOK DOWN
I'M WALKING ON THE HIGHWIRE
EVER HIGHER AND HIGHER
ON A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
FEELS LIKE A TIGHTROPE – DON'T LOOK DOWN
A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON

TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
WALKING ON A TIGHTROPE
A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
DON'T LOOK DOWN – DON'T LOOK DOWN
YEAH I'M WALKING ON A TIGHTROPE
A TIGHTROPE TO THE MOON
EVER HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER
DON'T LOOK DOWN – DON'T LOOK DOWN
