Every day I watch my mirror 

Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years 

Missed chances 

Forgotten romances 

Starting now to loosen with the tears 

I could fall in love 

Any time, any place, any where 

But I spent last night 

Treading on valentines 

Treading on valentines 

You know it didn't mean a thing 

I didn't make me give two damns 

You know I thought I'd never fall in love 

It only worked in films 

Response, responsibilities, bravery, hardship 

Giving up and giving too 

Here's little things I think I mean 

Some consequence to you 

I'll never get the chance again 

Faces heartbreakingly wonderful 

All flash by me 

Steaming neon's in the rain 

Diamonds down the memory drain 

But you inspire me, fuel and fire me 

Never leave me 

Or deceive me 

We could sit out winter evenings 

Laughing over Love and Little White Lies 

Sit out winter evenings 

Laughing over Love and Little White Lies 



Bitter coffee 

Stomach aching 

Pass the time while our hearts are breaking 

I've got faith in you 

So don't you have faith in me? 

Misted mornings 

Damp in sorrow 

Love me just the same tomorrow 

Something blue and something borrowed 

And a bruise inside of me 



I'm drunk on your delivery 

Intoxicated by your eyes 

Got to find an antidote 

Before we say goodbye 

Car wrecks and romantic moons 

With you and I the stars 

We're somewhere in a midnight movie 

Somewhere off afar 



There's no ice cream in the interval 

No sweets or cigarettes 

Just you and I 

And a cast of thousands 

Trying to forget 

We could sit singing songs for suckers 

Blacked out with hymns of pain and sorrow 

Oh kiss me once before you go 

I may be dust tomorrow 



Every day I watch my mirror 

Getting a little older, wiser, sadder with the years 

Missed chances 

Forgotten romances 

Starting now to loosen with the tears 

My heart is pulsing brilliant red 

And you know red's a colour for sin and danger 

Ready now to take my chance 

With any handy stranger 

People will always 

Love and Love and Love and Love and Love 

But what the hell 

We fool each other 

When we've suffered through enough 

But you inspire me 

Fuel and fire me 

Never leave me 

Or deceive me 

We could sit out winter evenings 

Laughing over Love and Little White Lies 

Sit out winter evenings 

Laughing over Love and Little White Lies 

Oh can't you feel my heart 

Can't you feel my heart

Do you remember 

Those hazy amber days 

We were but children 

Having the time of our lives 

We had no regard, no respect 

A floor was a bed 

And a bed held the mysteries of life 



They had to end 

But so soon? 

And to sit in the dark 

Of my lonely room 

Made it all seem so cruelly real 

Say no goodbyes, no regrets 

For the things that we said 

How we said 

That we only wanted an answer 

To our dreams 

We wanted an answer to our dreams 



Ignorance is bliss 

When adulthood we can resist 

To embrace the years with grace 

What a waste 

What a waste 



The fun we had 

The fun we'll have 

Reckless immaturity 

For stars we are 

And stars we'll be 

Just you and me 

For stars we are 

And stars we'll be 

Just you and me

Somewhere deep in the scarlet city 

A million dreams are not enough 

I'm knee deep in fallen women 

Being alone in the scarlet city 

Can be tough 



Call me romantic 

Call me deluded 



I'd give you anything you asked 

Just for a second of your time 

I could be your guardian angel 

When it comes to pleasure 

I could be your guide 



Call me romantic 

Call me deluded 



Well I've seen the sights of New York 

I've seen day become night 

I've seen the Brooklyn Bridge 

All covered in lights 

I've dived to the depths 

I've scaled the heights 



Call me romantic 

Call me deluded 

I've had it all 



But I'll give you the most valuable thing in the world 

I'll give you my very last pearl 

I'll give you the most magical thing in the world 

I'll give you my very last pearl 



For this could be the magic 

This could be the magic 

This could be the magic 

The very last pearl 

Make a wish on the 

Very last pearl in the world 

The very last pearl 



Somewhere deep in the scarlet city 

Waits the key to all my dreams 

You're the cure for someone jaded 

Someone jaded, someone just like me it seems 



Call me romantic 

Call me deluded 

I want to be your angel 

I want to be your angel 

Call me romantic 

Call me deluded 



I've seen a Mediterranean night 

The ships on the sea 

The most beautiful eyes in the world 

And the saddest eyes in the world 



Call me romantic 

Call me deluded 

But I didn't care at all 



But I'll give you the most valuable thing in the world 

I'll give you my very last pearl 

I'll give you the most magical thing in the world 

I'll give you my very last pearl
