Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning
Sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe
Gone quickly
For the call of thunder
Threatens everyone
And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light
She's flying
Trying to remember
Where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when
Earth shall be as one
And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning
Sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe
Gone quickly
For the call of thunder
Threatens everyone
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Than gone for
Someone else shall be there...
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
Like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light

When I was very young
Nothing really mattered to me
But making myself happy
I was the only one
Now that I am grown
Everything's changed
I'll never be the same
Because of you
Nothing really matters
Love is all we need
Everything I give you
All comes back to me
Looking at my life
It's very clear to me
I lived so selfishly
I was the only one
I realize
That nobody wins
Something is ending
And something begins
Nothing really matters etc.
Nothing takes the past away
Like the future
Nothing makes the darkness go
Like the light
You're shelter from the storm
Give me comfort in your arms

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmm if I could melt your heart
Mmm we'd never be apart
Mmm give yourself to me
Mmm you hold the key

Where do we go from here?
This isn't where we intended to be
We had it all, you believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive?
How do we keep all our passions alive,
As we used to do?

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Things that I'm longing to say
Scared to confess what I'm feeling
Frightened you'll slip away

You must love me
You must love me

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to you now?
Give me a chance and I'll let you see how
Nothing has changed

You must love me 

Chorus: 
This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

Chorus

No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday (the dream)
Those are words I'll never say (I'll never say)

This used to be my playground (used to be)
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy

This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me

This used to be our playground (used to be)
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
The best things in life are always free
Wishing you were here with me

Haven't we met? 
Somekind of beautiful stranger 
You could be good for me 
I've had the taste for danger 

If I'm smart then I'll run away 
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay 
Heaven forbid 
I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger 

I looked into your eyes 
And my world came tumbling down 
You're the devil in disguise 
That's why I'm singing this song 

To know you 
Is to love you 
You're everywhere I go 
And everybody knows 
To love you 
Is to be part of you 
I paid for you with my tears 
And swallowed my pride 

Beautiful stranger... 
Beautiful stranger... 

If I'm smart then I'll run away 
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay 
Haven't you heard? 
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger 

I looked into your face 
My heart was dancing all over the place 
I'd like to change my point of view 
If I could just forget about you 

To know you 
Is to love you 
You're everywhere I go 
And everybody knows 

I looked into your eyes 
And my world came tumbling down 
You're the devil in disguise 
That's why I'm singing this song to you 

To know you 
Is to love you 
You're everywhere I go 
And everybody knows 

I paid for you with my tears 
And swallowed my pride 

Beautiful stranger... 
Beautiful stranger...
