would you know my name

if i saw you in heaven

would it be the same

if i saw you in heaven

i must be stong and carry on

'cause i know i don't belong

here in heaven

would you hold my hand

if i saw you in heaven

would you help me stand

if i saw you in heaven

i'll find my way

through night and day

cause i know i just can't stay

here in heaven beyond the door

there's peace i'm sure

but i know there'll be no more

tears in heaven

time can bring you down

time can bend your knees

time can break your heart

have you beggin

please beggin please

would you know my name

if i saw you in heaven

would it be the same if i saw you in heaven

beyond the door there's peace i'm sure

but i know there'll be no more tears in heaven

Kiss from a Rose

by Seal

Slide 30

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea

You, became the light on the dark side of me

Love remains, a drug that's the high and not the pill

But did you know that when it snows

My eyes become large

And the light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels yeah

Now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you
