John Waite - The Glittering Prize lyrics

There's a silent movie running off, it's reel inside my mind

As I try to fall asleep tonight on prescription lullabyes

In the darkness there's a doorway

That leads me back to you forever

But these days there's only you and I in photographs

Ambitions and dreams we've shared

Now I wonder who has got the last laugh

'Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

Got no expectations for my pride

As I reach for that glittering prize

I remember on our wedding day, looking back at you

Our eyes met and we said goodbye as we both said "I do"

Didn't I make a promise, baby

I would stand by you forever?

But sometimes the best-laid plans flare up and blow away

And fairytale logic comes, sweeps you heart

Your soul, your world away

'Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

And I'm tired of living with that lie

And now time is flying

And you know I miss that fire

'Cos I feel for you

I've got desire

So I reach for that glittering prize

No doll's house dreams or Valentines

Just the future at the door

Just leaving trains and empty rooms

A broken band of gold

'Cause love don't live here anymore

And some nights I'll come and see you

And I know you'll let me in

Two strangers in silence now

'Cause you know in love

We could never win

'Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

And I'm tired of living with this lie

These days

'Cause now time is flying

And you know I miss that fire

'Cause I feel for you

I've got desire

Baby, baby

In my world tonight (in your world tonight)

Reach for that glittering prize (in my world)

That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)

Was reach for that glittering prize (in my world)

I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight)

As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world)

And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)

When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)

In your world

In my world tonight
