SINGER: John Waite

SONG:The Glittering Prize

There's a silent movie
running off its reel inside my mind
as i try to fall asleep tonight
on prescription lullabyes
in the darkness there's a doorway
that leads me back to you forever
but these days there's only
you and i in photographs
ambitions and dreams we've shared
now i wonder who has got the last laugh
cause i know you're crying
and you know i'm cold inside
got no expectations for my pride
and i reach for that glittering prize
i remember on our wedding day
looking back at you
our eyes met and we said goodbye
as we both said "i do"
didn't i make a promise baby
i would stand by you forever
but sometimes the best-laid plans
flare up and blow away
and fairytale logic comes
sweeps you heart
your soul'your world away
cause i know you're crying
and you know i'm cold inside
and i'm tired of living with that lie
and now time is flying
and you know i miss that fire
but i feel for you
i've got desire
so i reach for that glittering prize
no doll's house dreams
or valentines
just the future at the door
just leaving trains and empty rooms
a broken band of gold
cause love don't live here anymore
and some nights i'll come and see you
and i know you'll let me in
two strangers in silence now
cause you know in love
we could never win
i know you're crying
and you know i'm cold inside
and i'm tired of living with this lie
these days
cause now time is flying
and you know i miss that fire
cause i feel for you
i've got desire
baby baby
in my world (in your world tonight)
reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
that's all i ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)
was reach for the glittering prize (in my world)
i lost myself when i lost you (in your world tonight)
as i reached for that glittering prize (in my world)
and i hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)
when you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
in your world
in my world tonight
