This is why I love Jim Steinman

I woke up this mornign disoriented and aching, from sleeping tangled in a knot, and in a really somber mood thanks to my Nano story deciding to plot itself out in my head. So... I'm bumping this thread up. More Steinman- apparently these two songs were in my dreams all night.

If God Could Talk

If God could talk
Would He tell you to come back to me?
If God could talk
Would He tell you it's alright, just leave
And don't look back at all the memories
The best of times, the mess you made of me
Walk on, if you think it's gonna make you strong

Why don't you run away
And find yourself alive
Go on and turn the page
Before your lonely world collides
What's it gonna take to break the silence
That's been tearin' you apart?

If God could talk
Would He part the oceans straight to you
Make mountains move, crumble at your feet to get you through
Another day, another night alone
Step right out into the great unknown tonight
Even God knows, baby, that ain't right

Why don't you run away
And find yourself alive
Go on and turn the page
Before your lonely world collides
What's it gonna take to break the silence
That's been tearin' you apart?
If only God could talk

Did you swear to yourself
On the day it was over
That you'd never turn around
And get locked up in another cage?

Did you tear all the pictures
Of us living life together
Did you burn all the mem'ries
That have been made in a fit of rage?

Why don't you run away
And find yourself alive
Go on and turn the page
Before your lonely world collides
What's it gonna take to break the silence
That's been tearin you apart?
If only God could talk
If only God could talk
If only God could talk
If only God could talk

Oooh, would you listen now if God could talk?

What About Love

[Boy:]
There's a hole in the sky tonight
There the moon drift to far from sight
I would search thru this empty darkness
To see your face in the morning light

We've been lost in a sea of confusion
Got caught up in a selfish illusion
But make no mistake: I will bend till I break
Don't let fate make the choice for us

What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it
What about me?
What about you?

What about love?

[Girl:]
Once in a lifetime you'll find someone heaven send for you
For a lifetime you'll feel there's a reason to believe
In a love that's meant to be

[Boy:]
It feels like we've fallen from grace
Given up on the higher thing
'Cause I know deep inside if we search we will find
Something to give us wings

What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it?
What about me?
What about you?

What about love?

[Boy:]
I can't go on another day
Comin' home and seeing you cryin'
[Girl:]
Can't stand another night
Of telling you I'm tired when I'm dying

[Both:]
Forever means nothing
To live without you
Is reaching for something that never comes through
Together is heaven
Apart we're in hell
The time for forgiveness is now

Once in a lifetime you'll find
Someone to share your dreams
For a lifetime
Our love will always set us free
Forever we'll believe...

[Boy:]
I can't forget the feelin of your sweat upon my skin
And the tremble of your body on the day you let me in
It happens once, only once in a lifetime

[Girl:]
On a summernight's surrender with nothing to loose
You were scared and so was I when I gave myself to you
It happens once, only once in a lifetime

[Both:]
What about love that lasts forever?
What about time to see it through?
If you don't give you just don't get it
What about me?
What about you?

What about love that won't say never?
When you don't know what you can do
If you don't live you just regret it
What about me?
What about you?

What about love?
