@ALBUM: THE VERY BEST OF FOREIGNER (1992) * transcribed by Frantic Freddy * @SONG: FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME I would climb any mountain, sail across the stormy sea If that's what it takes me baby, to show how much you mean to me And I guess that it's just the woman in you, that brings out the man in me I know I can't help myself, you're all in the world to me Chorus: It feels like the first time, feels like the very first time It feels like the first time, it feels like the very first time I have waited a lifetime, spent my time so foolishly But now that I found you, together we'll make history And I know that it must be the woman in you, that brings out the man in me I know I can't help myself, you're all my eyes can see And it feels like the first time, like it never did before Feels like the first time, like we've opened up the door Feels like the first time, like it never will again, never again chorus - open up the door, won't you open up the door chorus repeats out ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: COLD AS ICE You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice our love You never take advice, someday you'll pay the price, I know I've seen it before, it happens all the time You're closing the door, you leave the world behind You're digging for gold, you're throwing away A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice our love You want paradise, but someday you'll pay the price, I know I've seen it before, it happens all the time You're closing the door, you leave the world behind You're digging for gold, you're throwing away A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay (Solo) Cold as ice - you know that you are Cold as ice - as cold as ice to me Cold as ice You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know, yes I know You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know, oh yes I know You're as cold as ice, cold as ice, I know, oh yes I know You're as cold as ice...
