Album: …But Seriously
Year: 1989
Songwriters: Phil Collins

She calls out to the man on the street
“Sir, can you help me?
It’s cold and I’ve nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?”

He walks on, doesn’t look back
He pretends he can’t hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh
Think twice
‘Cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh
Think twice
‘Cause it’s another day for you
You and me in paradise

(Think about it)

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she’s been crying
She’s got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can’t walk but she’s trying

Oh
Think twice
‘Cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh
Think twice
It’s just another day for you
You and me in paradise

Just think about it

Oh lord!
Is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh-oh whoa lord!
There must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she’s been there
Probably been moved on from every place
Cause she didn’t fit in there

Oh
Think twice
‘Cause it’s another day for you and me in paradise
Oh
Think twice
It’s just another day for you
You and me in paradise (Another day in paradise, ooh)

Just think about it
Hmm-mmm
Think about it

It’s just another day
For you and me
In paradise
It’s just another day
For you and me
In paradise
(Para, paradise)

(Paradise) It’s just another day
For you and me (Ooh-ooh)
(Just think about it) In paradise
(Paradise) It’s just another day
For you and me
(Just think about it) In paradise
(Para, paradise)

(Ooh-ooh, in paradise) It’s just another day
For you and me
(Hmm-mmm, paradise) In paradise
It’s just another day (Paradise)
For you and me (Just another day)
(In paradise) In paradise
(Para, paradise)

Album: Colours
Year: 1993

After some time I’ve finally made up my mind
She is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I’m searching everywhere to find her again
To tell her I love her
And I’m sorry ’bout the things I’ve done

I find her standing in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn’t search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
But she’s crying while she’s saying this

Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late

Against the wind I’m going home again
Wishing be back to the time when we were more than
Friends

But still I see her in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn’t search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
But she cried while she’s saying this

Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late

Out in the streets
Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
Inside my head
Still I can hear the words she said

Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late

Boy I missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twenty five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I’m sorry you are
Twenty five minutes too late

I can still hear her say…

Album: Don’t Cry Out Loud
Year: 1978

(Words by Carol Bayer Sager and Music by Peter Allen)

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
‘Cause she didn’t want parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile
And took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire

I know a lot about her
‘Cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside
Learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
The different kind of love she thought she’d found
There was nothin’ left but sawdust and some glitter

But baby can’t be broken
‘Cause you see
She had the finest teacher
That was me, I told her

Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost made it

Don’t cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all…
