my heart was so heavy with longing for you
my arms were so lonely, lonesome and blue
alone in my sorrow, i heard a voice cry
a voice in the wilderness, a voice from the sky

have faith in your darling, the voice seemed to say
be true to her memory, she’ll come back one day
and though there was no-one, nobody to see
a voice in the wilderness brought comfort to me

we had a quarrel, i was unkind
why did you leave me, love made me blind
come back to me darling, i yearn for your touch
have pity, come back now, i need you so much
believe me and you’ll hear it, the voice from above
the voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love

believe me and you’ll hear it, the voice from above
a voice in the wilderness, the voice of true love.

duet with: sara brightman

cliff:
no more talk of darkness.
forget these wide-eyed fears.
i’m here, nothing can harm you.
my words will warm and calm you.
let me be your freedom.
let daylight dry your tears.
i’m here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.
sara:
say you love me every waking moment.
turn my head with talk of summertime.
say you need me with you now and always.
promise me that all you say is true.
that’s all, i ask of you.

cliff:
let me be your shelter.
let me be your light.
you’re safe, no one will find you.
your fears are far behind you.

sara:
all i want is freedom,
a world with no more night.
and you always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

cliff:
then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime.
let me lead you from your solitude.
say you want me with you here beside you.
anywhere you go, let me go too.
that’s all i ask of you.

sara:
say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime.

together:
say the word and i will follow you.
share each day with me, each night, each morning.

sara:
say you love me?

cliff:
you know i do.

together:
love me, that’s all i ask of you.

(instrumental)

together:
love me, that’s all i ask of you.

all my love came to nothing at all my love
when i woke up to find
you were no longer mine
all my love thrown away after all the time
now there’s no place for me in the future
you see
i don’t understand you
i’ve done all i can do
tell me how could i give you more
more than all my love

the love in you and the love in me, is all that matters
all the rest is vanity
that time will shatter
the only treasure in the life we live, is the measure of the love we give
all that matters in the end will be
the love in you and the love in me, that’s all that matters

every heart must change it’s shape
to fit the space a lifetime makes
some regrets and some mistakes
we touch happiness but we can’t hold her
feelings come and then disappear
i know the laughter, i’ve cried those tears
i should know better after all these years
but i’m no wiser, i’m just older

it’s all a question of priority
we’ve got so much that we just don’t need
but if it ain’t got love then it’s luxury
we can learn to live without it

you say that i’ll survive
that i’ll get over you
but if you walk away that door
then what am i gonna ‘do
they say you don’t appreciate love
until it’s gone
well i guess i’ll love you more
since i’ve known what was goin’ on
it’s so easy to say
that i’ll miss you when you’re gone
but if this is the end
then the damage has been done
where did i go wrong

how could i believe that we are history, my love
even though you give yourself to someone else.
i will give you all the time you need to work things out
when all of the excitement gone
and you’re wondering where you went wrong
please remember me.

i guess i’ve got to learn to give you room to breathe
when all i really want to do is love you close to me
they say that i have got to be tough
that god will see me through
and though i know you love me
i’m confused, ‘cos he wants me to be with you
i have never felt so very much alone
but if this is the end oh then i guess i’ll carry on
no matter what you’ve done.

how could i believe that we are history, my love
even though you give yourself to someone else.
i will give you all the time you need to work things out
when all of the excitement gone
and you’re wondering where you went wrong
please remember me.

i will give you all the time you need to work things out
when all of the excitement gone
and you’re wondering where you went wrong
please, remember me.
please, won’t you remember me

i’ll be waiting here, got nowhere to go
i’ll be waiting.
remember me,
remember, remember,
please remember me,
remember, remember, remember me,
remember, remember, remember me,
remember, remember, remember me,
i’ll be waiting.
