The Glittering Prize Lyrics by John Waite

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 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
    And 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
    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
