Almost Love
Seems to me as if that’s all we’re coming to
And it feels good after all that I’ve been through.
Killing time
I’ve been down to my last dime
I’ve been scared that all the pain’s gonna show, but now I know
That I was hurting the most ‘cause I’ve never been close to
Almost Love
And it feels like it’s the closest I’ve been yet.
And it’s stronger now the closer that I get.
Coming Home
I’ve been running far too long
Now it looks like if I hang on to you, I’ll make it through
And if you Hang onto me, I’ll bet this could be
Almost Love
Seems to me as if that’s all we’re coming to
And it feels good after all that I’ve been through.
Killing time
I’ve been down to my last dime
I’ve been scared that all the pain’s gonna show, but now I know
That I was hurting the most ‘cause I’ve never been close to
Almost Love
Kind of feels like it’s Almost Love

With author's note (Cynthia Haagens)
I wrote the lyrics to "The Secrets of My Heart" and in the CD package they were mistranslated by a Japanese translator who transcribed the lyrics after listening to the song and getting the words completely wrong!! This has been a huge source of both laughs and irritation for me since I wrote the lyric!
Here is my actual lyric:
Private dreams I never told you
Come to hold me in the dark
Moonlit skies and long embraces
Eyes that shine from lovers' faces
You'll never know
The secrets of my heart
Unknown worlds you'll never share,
love
Call to you, we'll sleep apart
Empty arms will wait so lonely
I'll touch the night and let it hold me
You'll never show
The secrets of your heart
Private dreams are meant for living
Trace them with a treasure chart
Tell you all my hidden wishes
And never fly from lovers' kisses
If you could share
The secrets of my heart
Music John Barry

Lyrics Cynthia Haagens and Graeme Clifford
Performed by Kristina Nichols
Our time is now,
Not one day soon.
Your eyes don’t lie,
Look how bright the stars
And how close the moon.
Our time is now,
And evermore.
It took a while
But a love like ours
Was worth waiting for.
Chorus:
Love has no season,
There are no rules.
Those who stop dreaming are fools.
So come with me
Because our time is now.
[Repeat chorus]
Our time is now.
Our time is now.
Our time is now.
John Barry
Don Black
Performed by Shirley Bassey on her album The Performance
Give me a smile / Give me a sense of who I am/
Give me a breath of vanished days / and fires that once blazed within/
Give me a smile / Give me a vast yet private sky/
Give me a light beyond the light/
Where other worlds just might begin...
Cx: Give me the courage / to see how limitless we are/
and not be haunted by the past / the past has passed/
Give me a smile / give me a promise I can touch/
Give me a stillness in my soul / A reason for this earth to spin/
Give me a smile...
cx: repeat
Last verse repeat to end!

Just tick the days off one by one
Some days I feel these days will never end
Just to see you standing by my door
Made the way I've hungered for
Just tick the days off one by one
This is a love you don't recover from
Only fools tell you time goes so fast
And that the love, it doesn't last
Perfect love Brings a different kind of pain
It's a pain you will always taste
I need to taste that taste again
Just tick the days off one by one
Until tomorrow becomes here and now
Quietly just as an answered prayer
I'll turn around and you'll be there Together
Music by John Barry
Lyrics by Don Black
Performed by The Ten Tenors
There Will Come A Day
There will come a day, one day I swear
When you will awake and find me there
Day after day I think of the day
When I will see you, just see you
There will come a night, I know there will
Where this won't stand perfectly still
Night after night, I dream of the night
I'll hold you, just hold you
All that stands between us
All that's in our way
Is the pain of waiting
And doubting every day
There will come a day, one day I swear
When you will awake and find me there
Day after day I think of the day
I'll see you, just see you
Hold you, just hold you
Love you and take you on
music by John Barry
Lyrics by Don Black
performed by The Ten Tenors
We will hear the song no one's ever heard,
And our souls will dance on the wind,
I have dreamed and dreamed what it will be like,
Just to see each other again
There are unseen gifts that the Gods bestow,
Memory saves us all in the end,
And a loving heart will not ever age,
Oh to see each other again
Can't wait to see you,
So much to say,
Can you imagine living that day?
We will harvest all of our dreams my love,
I will paint your face on the wind,
And a shadowed world will begin to glow,
When we see each other again
Oooh,
Can you imagine living that day?
We will harvest all of our dreams my love,
I will paint your face on the wind,
And a shadowed world will begin to glow,
When we see each other,
Just see each other,
Be with each other again,
Just see each other again.

Places,
I still remember places.
Those precious times in places,
When everything was new.
Places,
I still can feel those places
Our hearts were never lighter
The sky was twice as blue.
Places,
What happened to those places?
Though they have changed forever,
I'm still in love with you.
Romance,
Do you remember romance?
When nothing seemed to matter
Apart from me and you.
Passion,
Wilder than any ocean
Timeless as any mountain
We grew closer
We grew wiser
Every day
Places,
I still remember places.
Those precious times in places
When everything was new.
Places,
Do you remember places?
When nothing seems to matter,
I'm still in love with you.
