BUBBLY

Will you count me in?

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
Cause everytime I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place


It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go


The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under cover stayin safe and warm
You give me feelins that I adore


They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go


What am I gonna say


When you make me feel this way
I just-mmm..


It starts in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Where ever you go


Dada dada dadada dada dum..
Mmm mmm..


I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth


It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me ti-i-ight


Where ever, Where ever, Where ever you go
Where ever, Where ever, Where ever you go

Your Guardian Angel

When I see your smile,
Tears run down my face.
I can't replace.
And now that I'm strong, I have figured out,
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul.
And I know I'll find deep inside me,
I can be the one.

I will never let you fall. (let you fall.)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all. (through it all.)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay-e-ay-e-ay.

Seasons are changing,
And waves are crashing,
And stars are falling all for us.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter,
I can show you I'll be the one

I will never let you fall. (let you fall.)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all. (through it all.)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.



'Cause you're my, you're my, my-e-y-e-y,
My true love, my whole heart.
Please don't throw that away.
'Cause I'm here... for you!
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay... here!

Whoa-oh!
Stay!
Whoa-oh!

Use me as you will!
Pull my strings just for a thrill!
And I know I'll be okay,
Though my skies are turning gray! (gray! gray!)

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven!

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven! (fade out)

Paul Van Dyk Feat. Jessica Sutta - White Lies (Radio Version)

Uh oh
I'm being pulled into the fire of intoxic flame
I'm too close
And there's a good chance that I won't get away
And I needed going into the daylight
And I'm looking for it into the night
Then I think about it and I can't live without it
You're telling me that that's alright

Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain

Don't go
I tell myself that I'm not really hooked on you
But I know

If I stay then your use will become abuse
When I'm trying not to break the fever
And the madison just won't take
Then I think about it and I can't live without it
You're telling me that that's alright

Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
When you're telling me the white lies
Champagne
It's getting rough and I wanna know
If I'm addicted to your white lies
In vain
