10 Best Phil Collins Funeral Songs

How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh ooh.

You're the only one who really knew me at all.
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain,
And even shared the tears.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now,
'Cause there's just an empty space.
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face.
Ooh, take a look at me now,
'Cause there's just an empty space.
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds,
And that's what I've got to face.

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry.
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why.
You're the only one who really knew me at all.

So take a look at me now,
'Cause there's just an empty space.
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face.
Now take a look at me now,
'Cause there's just an empty space.
But to wait for you is all I can do,
And that's what I've got to face.

Take a good look at me now,
'Cause I'll still be standing here,
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds,
It's the chance I've got to take.

Take a look at me now.

She calls out to the man on the street
'Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?'

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice, it's just another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, yeah

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk, but she's trying

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, yeah
Just think about it

Oh, Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh, Lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise, yeah
Just think about it, think about it

It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise

So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend to say goodbye
Got your ticket
Got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
And I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
We took a taxi to the station, not a word was said
And I saw you walk across the road
For maybe the last time, I don't know
Feeling humble
Heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I'll walk away and you won't know
That I'll be crying
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
Even try, I'll always be here by your side
Why, why, why?
I never wanted to say goodbye
Why even try?
I'm always here if you change, change your mind
So you're leaving in the morning on the early train
I could say everything's alright
And I could pretend to say goodbye
But that would be lying
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?
'Cause I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
No, I won't stop loving you
Why should I?

You know I never meant to see you again
But I only passed by as a friend, yeah
All this time I stayed out of sight
I started wondering why
Now I, ooh, now I wish it would rain down, down on me, ooh
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Rain down over me, ooh
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Ooh, rain down over me, ooh
Now I know to keep you dry, I'll just break down and cry
I found it hard to say, the things I wanted to say
But mainly I just wanna cry, cry for you
I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again, yeah
Now I, now I know I wanna make you cry
I wanna make you feel pain
I never meant to do it again, but I know I did
Now I, ooh, now I wish it would rain down, down on me, ooh
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Rain down over me, ooh
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Ooh, rain down over me, ooh
'Cause I know, ooh, ooh, ooh
Now, now I know, I wish it would rain down, down on me, yeah
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Rain down over me, ooh
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Ooh, rain down over me, ooh
Yes, I wish it would rain, ooh
Ooh, rain down over me, ooh
I wish it would rain down

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord?
Well if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before, my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I remember, I remember, don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord

One more night, one more night
I've been trying, ooh, so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see
Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh, just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
I've been sitting here so long, wasting time
Just staring at the phone
And I was wondering, should I call you?
Then I thought, maybe you're not alone
Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
I know there'll be times when I'll make you cry
But I never meant to hurt you, I apologize
I know I promised to keep you, keep you in my life
But I'm so sorry, I don't want to lose you
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night, 'cause I can't wait forever

You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?
You have no right to ask me how I feel
We can't go on just holding on to time
Now that we're living separate lives
Well, I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well, you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living (living)
Separate lives
Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger
Well, you have no right to ask me how I feel
Some day I might (I might)
Find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes, for now, we'll go on living separate lives

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness, inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile
And don't be unhappy,
Can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Such sad eyes
Take courage now
Realize

When this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Just show your true colors
True colors, true colors

There's a shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid just let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Beautiful, like a rainbow

Show me your colors
Show me your colors
Show me your rainbow
Show me your rainbow
Show me your colors
Show me your rainbow
That's why I love you
Show me your colors
Show me your rainbow
That's why I love you
Show me your colors
Show me your rainbow

Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry

For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more
You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always

Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but, deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more
Don't listen to them 'cause what do they know?
We need each other to have, to hold
They'll see in time, I know

When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you've got to hold on
They'll see in time, I know
We'll show them together

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on, now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart, no matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

You'll be in my heart, always
Always
