DURAN DURAN - SAVE A PRAYER
You Saw Me Standing By The Old
Corner Of The Main Street
And The Lights Are Flashing On Your Window Sill
All Alone Ain't Much Fun
So You're Looking For The Thrill
And You Know Just What It Takes And Where To Go
Don't Say A Prayer For Me Now
Save It 'Til The Morning After
No, Don't Say A Prayer For Me Now
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Feel The Breeze Deep On The Inside
Look You Down Into Your Well
If You Can, You'll See The World In All His Fire
Take A Chance
Like All Dreamers Can't Find Another Way
You Don't Have To Dream It All, Just Live A Day
Don't Say A Prayer For Me Now
Save It 'Til The Morning After
No, Don't Say A Prayer For Me Now
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save It Till The Morning After
Pretty Looking Road
Try To Hold The Rising Floods That Fill My Skin
Don't Ask Me Why I'll Keep My Promise
Melt The Ice
And You Wanted To Dance So I Asked You To Dance
But Fear Is In Your Soul
Some People Call It A One Night Stand
But We Can Call It Paradise
Don't Say A Prayer For Me Now
Save It 'Til The Morning After
No, Don't Say A Prayer For Me Now
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save It 'Til The Morning After
Save A Prayer 'Til The Morning After
