Music Week revealed on their website that Westlife is the official third top touring act within the years 2005–2008, while they were 7th top touring act of 2008.
They have announced that they are to split in 2012 after 14 years following a final tour.
When You Tell Me That You Love Me
Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down from the sky
I want to live a day
That never dies
I want to change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I want to do
I want to hold you close
Under the rain
I want to kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And give you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I want to make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And give you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Every time you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And give you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me
