Now and Then

by Hem

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery
Now and then
I contemplate a different way around this day
With nothing more than simple words, so I can say
I'm quite content and happy being me
Walking tall with peace of mind
To leave no childhood dreams behind
Arriving home to always find
Things just as I know they ought to be
Now And Then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's misery
Now and then
I wake up, when it hits me like a ton of bricks
I realise it's me who has to take the licks
No angels up there looking after me
No rainbow with a pot of gold
No cloak to shield me from the cold
No pill to stop me growing old
Dreams fading into stark reality

Now And Then

by Various Artists

Across the world as far as I could be
I think of you and what you want to take from me
But now I'm not waiting on sunrise to come again
And though my eyes are opening
It's only now and then
But I'll never know when
Time is not the only one to wait
It's just enough to dream of yesterday
And now it's slipping away
You know that
I'm not waiting on sunrise to come again
And though my eyes are opening
It's only now and then
And I'm not believing
All that I've been needing
To take me to another day
The way to a second
Life where I was beckoned
Back again someday
But now I'm not waiting on sunrise to come again
And though my eyes are opening
It's only now and then
But I'll never know when
I'll never, I'll never know when
I'll never, I'll never know when
I'll never, I'll never know when
I'll never, I'll never know when
I'll never, I'll never know when...

Now And Then

I've been torn apart since I met you
Don't know how I'll see it through
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay
Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why
Friends tell me I'm acting like a fool
The way we live breaks all the rules
(The) lies I tell don't seem so strange
Wake me up, I'll change
Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why
Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way
Last time that I looked into your eyes
Telling lies that made you cry
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay
Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why
Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way
Now and then
Now and then...love!
I feel like giving up

Now And Then

by Chantal Kreviazuk

Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Years pass and your life goes by
All the while you stop to wonder
Brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers lie
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Do you walk all the way?
Carry all that weight
Do you walk all the way?
Now and then
Days pass and the weeks go by
Dream for hours 'bout the future
See the faces and the names go by
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days
Between now and then...
These days

Now and Then

by Chris de Burgh

The past is so familiar
But that's why you couldn't stay
Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams
Beside you were built to find your own way...
But after all these years, I
thought we'd still hold on
But when I reach for you and search your eyes
I see you've already gone...
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave just remember what we had...
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then...
Can't do a thing with ashes
But throw them to the wind...
Though this heart may be in pieces now
You know I'll build it up again and
I'll come back stronger than I ever did before
Just don't turn around when you
walk out that door...
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
But when you leave just remember what we had...
There's more to life than just you
I may cry but I'll make it through
And I know that the sun will shine again
Though I may think of you now and then...
That's OK
I'll be fine
I've got myself, I'll heal in time
And even though our story's at the end
I still may think of you now and then...

Now (And Then)

(Billy Corgan)
peace colours
what's left of mine
I used to find
pennies crushed on tracks
it's a long way back to the station
now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
now and then
now and then to you
I could be a friend of use
so hide me when you go
back amongst the reeds
cable coils
around my neck
whatever's best
it seems insane to me
can't escape the family tree
roots are buried deep
deep as you can climb
I'll do
I could be a friend to you
now and then
I could be a friend
now and then
I could be a friend
now and then to you
I could be a friend of use
no second chance at this
I'll watch you making love with them
build a fire
behind the school
come and visit soon
if you're blue and alone
hold my hand they're coming back for more
there's always one more score
I'm sure to blame for this
I've got to get this change through and through
now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
now and then
I could be a friend
I could be a friend
now and then

Now And Then

by Milk INC.

Sometimes the hole
You left hurts my heart
So bad it cuts through
The deepest parts of me
And fills up my mouth
With words that I cry
How I'm still trying
To stay inside
Hearts break
And hearts wait
To make us
Grow from dust
Then our eyes cry
And souls sigh
So that we know
That it hurts
Our hearts break
And hearts wait
To make us
Grow from dust
Then our eyes cry
And souls sigh
So that we know
That it hurts
Every now and then
My memories ache
With the empty ideas
Of the ones we'd made
But as time goes on
And my age gets older
I love the ones I know
They're enough
To picture the rain
Cause heart break
And hearts wait
To make us
Grow from dust
Then our eyes cry
And souls sigh
So that we know
That it hurts
Our hearts break
And hearts wait
To make us
Grow from dust
Then our eyes cry
And souls sigh
So that we know
That it hurts
You know
When to make me
I might
Just your heal (4x)

Now And Then

by George michael

Now and then behind the rows
Of pearly teeth and fashion clothes
She sees them in the mirror-tiles
Trying on their latest smiles
Light and warmth from spotlight beams
Convincing them their nightmare is a dream
Now and then when they're at rest
Flocked in sleep in cuckoos' nests
Feeling safe no need to hide
She opens doors and windows wide
And poised upon her painted claws
She stretches out her gaudy wings and soars
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... to high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
But then again behind the rows
She feels the piercing looks of those
Who watch her every move in case
She happens to forget her place
Who sum her up ... deny her flight
Aim their words and shoot her down on sight
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
(guitar solo)
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to stay ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles.....
Far away
Borne by the wind
She roams the sky
No one to say ... too low ... too high
Or count the lonely miles that she has flown
This world is hers alone
Far away, far away
