The past year was so bad
it went down and down
all sorrows in my head
seemed to weigh a thousand pounds

I felt so lost and sad   I felt so lost and sad
worse than I thought I could
so many tears I shed   so many tears I shed
before I understood

God in heaven´s high
is always by my side
He sent me a good friend
whose words I understand, I understand, ohoho

So many times I thought
why should I carry on?
The dreams that I once had
they were all long gone

I tried all that I could  
to get back to joy
God told me by this friend   
that I have a choice


God in heaven´s high
is always by my side
I really don´t know why
but He loves me, loves me, ohoho

B R I D G E   ohoho, ohoho, ohoho - ohoho

Some lovely Russian folks   
just took care of me
allowed me to be part   
of their community

God in heaven´s high
is always by my side
And all I have to do
is just walk His way, walk His way, hey hey

Hey Now

Hey now, I am here    just open your ears     just open your eyes
You´re answering no call, it´s like talking to a wall, this comes as no surprise
All I´m asking for    is a little more    attention from your side
Seems too much to afford, you´re just looking bored, come on now, be polite

Oooh   oooh   oooh

I wanted to be shure    I wanted more and more    of your
your sweet love to me    that was so pure and free    but now it´s history
Hey now, don´t you see    it should never be    that kind of tragedy
Maybe I was mad    but I meant it when I said    “would you marry me?”

There was nothing to decline    the papers were all signed    
along with sparkling wine
I wouldn´t comprehend    the start of our descent    the beginning of the end

Hey now, I am here    an ocean full of tears    it´s more than I can bear
Love isn´t always fair    but I´d love to show I care    come over if you dare

BRIDGE
2 x   instrumental

I wanted to be shure    I wanted more and more    of your
your sweet love to me    that was so pure and free    but now it´s history
