Lyrics "In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins:

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord Can you feel it coming
in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning
I'ld not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember
I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget it's the first time
The last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No you don't fool me
But the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
Some stranger to you and me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life

Lyrics TAKE FIVE:

Will not you stop and take a little
Time out with me, just take five
Stop your busy day and take the
Time out to see if I'm alive

Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play

Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way

Wouldn't it be better not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now, it's alright
Just take five, just take five
