November Rain - Guns N' Roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same?

Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, ooh yeah
Love is always coming, love is always going
No one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain

Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Oh, oh, oh

Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Ooh, everybody needs some time on their own
Ooh, don't you know you need some time all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, oh yeah
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness, we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever, even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody

Nottinghill Dreams

(Verse 1)

Time and again I ask myself
What would I want? 
A good friend or a lover
Why does the drama in my head still linger on?  

People tell me that friendships last while crushes fade away 

*Chorus*

And it's not that I don't wanna believe 

But those Nottinghill dreams 
Just won't seem to go away
It's not that I don't wanna believe

That feelings would fade coz' time simply won't stand still

(Verse 2)

I wake up in the morning thinking of you
I go to bed at night wondering how I got myself into this
Wished you called to ask how I am
And at the same time I don't wanna hear your voice again
People tell me that friendships last while crushes fade away 

*Chorus*

And it's not that I don't wanna believe 

But those Nottinghill dreams 
Just won't seem to go away
It's not that I don't wanna believe

That feelings would fade coz' time simply won't stand still

(Bridge)

Say goodbye to fragmented daydreams

Reminiscing has no gains

Playing "Foolish Games" on the piano

Helps you to work through your pain

*Chorus*

And it's not that I don't wanna believe 

But those Nottinghill dreams  
Just won't seem to go away
It's not that I don't wanna believe

That feelings would fade coz' time simply won't stand still

Time simply won't stand still

Note: I started writing this song more than 20 years ago, but it was always left half complete, partly due to laziness, partly due to dissatisfaction with the lyrics in the earlier drafts. Finally finished it this past month, during this recent period of relatively new burst of creativity.
