    Beautiful Day Verse 1 Not a cloud in the sky and a soft warm summer sea breeze All the girls wear bright dresses the boys in their shirts with no sleeves The sun,s dancing over the water, sailboats are out on the sea And it all looks so dreamy it almost could be make believe Chorus It’s the most beautiful day to do nothing The most beautiful day A day to unwind leave your troubles behind and do nothing Oh Oh its a beautiful day Verse 2 There're kids building castles with bright new buckets and spades This book that I'm reading getting better with every page Putting on sun screen, soaking up rays Got my picnic and some cold beers Well it all feels so dreamy it almost like I'm not really here Chorus It’s the most beautiful day to do nothing The most beautiful day A day to unwind leave your troubles behind and do nothing Oh Oh its a beautiful day Bridge I'm feeling so good got the woman I love by my side With beach chairs, Umbrella, dark glasses were watching the world go by Chorus A day to unwind leave your troubles behind and do nothing Oh Oh its a beautiful day Its a beautiful Oh Oh its a beautiful day

    Bridges out of Rainbows Verse 1 If were gonna move forward, time to let go of the past With no regrets to slow us down, no fear to hold us back Come on, enjoy the journey, we'll miss it if we blink Life should be be full of surprises, that's the point don't you think Chorus Let's build bridges out of rainbows Open arms of colour reaching out across the world We must find a way Through these dark and stormy days Let's build bridges out of rainbows Verse 2 We can all make a difference, when were standing side by side If I'm for you and your for me, no one will be denied There'll be, freedom for everyone, whatever we believe We'll all have dreams and a future, that's the point don't you think Chorus Let's build bridges out of rainbows Open arms of colour reaching out across the world We must find a way Through these dark and stormy days Let's build bridges out of rainbows Bridge We'll make ordinary, extraordinary Hey,how about now We can do this Yes we can Chorus Let's build bridges out of rainbows Open arms of colour reaching out across the world We must find a way Through these dark and stormy days Let's build bridges out of rainbows Let's build bridges out of rainbows

    Firewall Verse 1 Oh It’s never too late to become who we might have been To be, who we want to be To find out, who we are Been so many roads we've kicked a can along Searching for a place to belong Now we just wear the scars Climb But we can’t have the rainbow without the rain And the darkest night wont always be a ball and chain Chorus So power up come alive Reboot your dream, and restart your life Your pride and passion's crashed its uninstalled Cos you've locked it away behind a firewall So power up come alive Reboot your dream, restart your life Your pride and passions crashed its uninstalled Cos youve locked it away behind your firewall Verse 2 Oh It’s hard sometimes we get to thinking life ain't fair But we've got to hang in there Like winners always do Now be true to yourself, there’s no place for compromise Just keep your eyes on the prize And make them hear your point of view Climb We can’t have the Rainbow without the rain no And the darkest night wont always be a ball and chain Chorus So power up come alive Reboot your dreams, and restart your life Your pride and passion's crashed its uninstalled You've locked it away behind your firewall So power up come alive Reboot your dream and restart your life Your pride and passions crashed its uninstalled Cos you locked it away behind your firewall Your Firewall Locked it away behind your Firewall

    Walking Down the Aisle with You VERSE 1 I saw you walking down the street today But I was driving the other way I parked my car and ran back to The place where I'd seen you I couldn’t find you anywhere I threw my arms up in the air Just wanted to say hello Cos its been so long ago CHORUS Did you ever wonder what it would be like To live your life with me If I was the father of your children And we raised a family Did you you ever wonder what might have been If we'd said I do and I’d gone Walking down the aisle with you VERSE 2 I spun around when you said hi But couldn't speak and my mouth went dry Oh I didn't know what to do Standing so close to you My heart was beating out of my chest You brought me out in a cold cold sweat I was aching for your touch Oh I've never missed someone so much CHORUS Did you ever wonder what it would be like To live your life with me If I was the father of your children And we raised a family Did you ever wonder what might have been If we'd said I do and I’d gone Walking down the aisle with you BRIDGE I said its so good to see you Have you come back to stay When a man came over and took your hand And I watched you walk away CHORUS Did you ever wondered what it would be like To live your life with me If I was the father of your children And we raised a family Did you ever wonder what might have been If we'd said I do and I'd gone Walking down the aisle with you Walking down the Isle with you

    Verse 1 When she smiles Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes She’s holding back so much inside herself She’s finding it hard to keep control Verse 2 When she smiles There’s a stiffening of her shoulders Well he’d never told her about his affair He let her believe she was to blame Bridge He always said it was her precious career That had pushed him out the door So many memories she’ll lock away She can’t use them anymore Verse 3 When she smiles She turns her head to the side And the tears she’s hiding Run silent and warm Down her cheek, brushed away with her hand Bridge 2 She was prepared to sacrifice her career But cant forgive him his affair She tried so hard to fix their fading love Its all over now Verse 4 When she smiles As she drops her eyes to the floor He tries to hold her but but she pulls away She wont be tempted or swayed Feeling so used and betrayed Her heart is breaking When she smiles When she smiles

Chorus Oooh ooh ooh ooh Oooh ooh ooh ooh He never said goodbye He's gone gone gone Bridge Hes taken everything, her money and her love Left her all alone, torn apart Shattered dreams and a broken heart Verse 3 So she tracks him down, to his home town Decides to call him on the land line Sorry he's not here, I don't know where Oh honey I haven't seen him in a long time Chorus Oooh ooh ooh ooh Oooh ooh ooh ooh He never said goodbye He's gone gone gone He never said goodbye He's gone gone gone
