lyrics
3. streets of heaven
streets of heaven
(John Illsley)
Streets of heaven are paved with gold
I'm only saying what I've been told
It's up to you think it's true
As for me I don't have a clue
But there's one thing that I'm certain of
There is nothing will change my love
Other notions they come and go
Some just sit and let the river flow
Light is fading it's the end of play
As black and white fades to grey
But there is one thing that I'm certain of
There is nothing will change my love
Streets of heaven I'd rather be
Streets of heaven for you and me
I don't need to climb no hill
It's not w way I get my thrill
Running round to pass the time
I was happy just to make you mine
But there's one thing that I'm certain of
There is nothing will change my love

5. only time will tell
only time will tell
(John Illsley)
Sun rises in the east
Where the sirens sange
It sets in the west
Where our love began
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
It takes a little time
For us to find our way
Our histories unwind
And welcome everyday
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
The path of the wise man
It's a long and open road
The beauty od a stranger
Helps share a heavy load
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Only time will tell who's right or wrong
Only time will tell who's weak and who's strong
It took a little time
To open up and dance
We lay down side by side
Now nothing's left to chance
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
Their ringing out the bells
Only time will tell
