Lyrics of "Race to the end" taken from sleeve of
single. Lyrics of "Seasons of love" transcribed from recording.
There is but one
freedom
Man running along
Each step that he's taking
A step to his soul
The passion and courage
It takes to be there
The spirit of freedom
Alive in the airWhenever the running man awakes
To chalenge to glory
He knows he can turn the key once more
To unlock the soul
The way becomes clearer |
The way is complete
The need, that of winning
Admit no defeat
The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to flyLet no man surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
To try to the end
A race to the end |
Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else
Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain
Ooooooooh, there is nothing there but the silence
cold and lonely silence
everything reminds me of you
Ooooooooh, I close my eyes and see you
In every dream I see you
I could almost reach out for you
Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else
Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain
Ooooooooh, here do I go from here now
And I'll just never know how
and why I lost the seasons of love |
[interlude]
Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else
Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain
oooooooh,
where do I go from here now
And I'll just never know how
and why I lost the seasons of love
Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
But all the memories remain
Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else |
