Waite, John - The Glittering Prize Lyrics
There's a silent movie
Running off its reel inside my mind
As I try to fall asleep tonight
On prescription lullabies
In the darkness there's a doorway
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
And I reach for that glittering prize
I remember on our wedding day
Looking back at you
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 your 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
But 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
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 (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 the 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

Come on home.
I'M NOT GOING TO FORGET THIS IN W TRILLION YEARS.....OR FOREVER FOR THAT MATTER....ALWAYS CARRY THAT FLAME I MY HEART
THIS DONG MAKES ME FEEL THINGS THAT I CANT DENY....CAN'T DENY THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES OR THE WAY MY HEART BURNS FOR YOUR IMMORTAL LOVE NOT LOST IN PASSIONS FIRE....DONT DENY THE MEMORIES THAT HAVE KEFT ME TO BURN IN LOVE'S FIRE.....MEMORIES OF YOU THAT TAKE ME HIGHER
ID FIGHT THE DEVIL HIMSELF TO RESCUE A MAN AS BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE AD HECIS ONTHE OUTSIDE.....THAT'S HIW MUCH HIS MUSUC AND HIS WHOLE FIBER OF HIS BEING HAS GOT TO ME.....LOVE WOULD NOT BE A STRONG ENOUGH WORD.....LUST IS JUST A WHISPER....LOVE IS A SCREAM IN THE,WIND
I'm mystified by the fire in your soul can you match the fire in my soul that burns for you.....not just some lustful whim....loves passion. Knows no end...thru prayers and tears..I remember that reassuring haunting gaze as I rested in your embrace...most women would've turned away in fear......I'm not most women.....I'm the last of my kind....granted mortality rate to gaze curiously upon love's face before I return to Immoryality race....I love you my Wolf Blooded Musician soul mates friend

Cant forget the first time I really looked into his eyes...he thought he would scare me...I was sitting in his arms in the front of my 74 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme metallic midnight blue car...I just held his gaze with mine....I caught my breath....he caught my heart and soul
What a terribly sad song? A train wreck of a marriage.

Even when he is singing about heartbreak, he is Mr Romance!
great lyrics, John Waite's voice ,is so melodic, his unique phrasing always intriques me.one if the most overlooked talents in Pop and Rick.
My second favorite song by John after More. This song was a prophecy of my wedding and my marriage and More is the story of my life. Love you, John
