Vanessa Williams Erase
In the soul of the city
There are no regrets
No shame, no pity
And nothing to confess
They say one night can change your life
There’s nothing out there
(in the jungle) you can forget
But in the shadow of the street below
One last memory waits
[chorus]
You can erase the name you take
You can erase the love you make
And every promise you forsake in the dark
You can erase your worst mistakes
Hoping you’ll never leave a trace
But you can’t erase what’s written in your heart
In the heart of the city
Is danger’s kiss
Dresses up so pretty
(and) full of emptiness
They say one touch can change your luck
But it’s the same ol’ dream that haunts you
It’s tenderness
And in the shadow of the street below
One last memory waits
[chorus]
You can erase the name you take
You can erase the love you make
And every promise you forsake in the dark
You can erase your worst mistakes
Maybe you’ll never leave a trace
But you can’t erase what’s written in your heart
And underneath your skin you’re all in flames
A world on fire that you can’t explain
They say one night can change your life
And in the shadow of the street below
Memory waits
[chorus]
