I started out to be the man behind the scenes

Knowing I was in above my head

For all that I could see

I never saw the truth

Now I'm alone

Heaven only knows how much I'm missing you

Knowing I had heaven in my hands

And there will be tears

Tears are mixed with rain

Keeper of my flame

Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever

There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears



I will not sleep tonight

There will be tears tonight

I will not sleep tonight

There will be tears



The silent telephone, the turning of the key

You're still inside of me , I'm not ashamed

For all that I can do , I can't forget your face

I call your name

Heaven only knows what I've been crying for , what I'm crying for

And all I've done to keep this love alive

Even through my tears

Tears are mixed with rain

Keeper of my flame

I will pray you're on my side, we stand forever

There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears



I will not sleep tonight

There will be tears tonight

I will not sleep tonight

There will be tears



(break)



Soon there will be tears rollin' down my world

Keeper of my flame

Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever

There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears



I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight

I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears

I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight

I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears
