Sad movies always
make me cry
He said he had to work, so I went to the show alone.
They turned down the lights and turned the projector on.
And just as the news of the world started to begin,
I saw my darling and my best friend walking in.
Although I was
sitting right there they didn't see me.
And so they both sat right down in front of me.
And when he kissed her lips then I almost died.
And in the middle of the color cartoon I started to cry.
Oh Sad movies always
make me cry
Oh Sad movies always make me cry
And so I got up and
slowly I walked on home,
And Mama saw the tears and said "Baby, what is wrong".
And so just to keep from telling her a lie,
I just said "Sad movies makes me cry".
Oh Sad movies always
make me cry
Oh Sad movies always make me cry
Oooo Ooooo - Sad
movies make me cry.

Triumph was a Canadian hard rockband formed in
1975 that was popular in the late 1970s and the 1980s, building on its
reputation and success as a live band. Between the band's 16 albums and DVDs, it has
received 18 gold and nine platinum awards in Canada and the United States. It
was nominated for multiple Juno Awards, including the 'Group of the Year Award'
in 1979, 1985, 1986, and 1987. It was inducted into the Canadian
Music Industry Hall of Fame in 2007, into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in
2008, and into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2019.
Triumph
is most known for its guitar-driven rock songs and alternative Canadian rock
trio vibe with such songs as "Lay It on the Line", "Magic
Power", "Fight the Good Fight", "World of Fantasy" and
strong cover songs like "Rocky Mountain Way". The
band was formed in Toronto, and for
much of its existence featured Rik Emmett(guitar,
vocals), Mike Levine(bass,
keyboards), and Gil Moore(drums,
vocals) from 1975 onward. This lineup, which recorded the band's first nine studio albums,
lasted until 1988, when Emmett left Triumph to pursue a solo career. He
was replaced by Phil "X" Xenedis,
and Triumph recorded their last album to date, Edge of Excess, with
him before going on indefinite hiatus in 1993. The classic line-up of Moore, Levine and Emmett
reunited for two live concerts in 2008, at Sweden Rock Festival and Rocklahoma,
and again in 2019 for a three-song performance in Toronto.
Never Surrender is the sixth studio album by
Canadian hard rockband Triumph,
released in 1982. The album reached #26 on the Billboard Albums chart assisted
by the singles "All the Way", "A World of Fantasy" and
"Never Surrender" which hit #2, #3 and #23, respectively, on the
Billboard's Mainstream Top Rock Trackschart in 1983. "All the Way" (the third of the three
tracks to chart) was Triumph's highest charting song on the Top Rock Tracks
chart, but did not sustain that level of popularity with Triumph fans as the
song is not included on their 1985 live álbum Stages, the later Classics (a
Greatest Hits album) or 2005's Livin' for the Weekend: The Anthology album.
In Canada, the album peaked at Nº. 29 on the
RPM album chart (compared to Nº. 13 for their previous album, Allied Forces)
and none of the singles managed to reach the Top 100 of the RPM Singles chart,
although they received some airplay at album-oriented rock stations.
A remastered CDwas first
released in 1985 on MCA Records(then again in 1995 on the band's own TRC label). A new remaster was
released in November 2004 on the band's own label TML Entertainment.
I was out on my own in a great big world
Thought I'd seen it all
Then along comes a woman - a fantasy
And I took the fall
I was chasing a dream, I was fancy free
I was so naïve
You were all wrapped up in a mystery
You looked good to me
And I needed love I wanted it desperately
But oh, real love, you never came to me
[CHORUS:]
I was lost in your world of fantasy
I was caught in your game of make-believe
I was lost in your world of fantasy
Lost in your world of fantasy
Look what you've done to me
You were drawin' me in to a spider's web
With your hungry eyes
I was under your power I was in your spell
I was hypnotized
And oh sweet love: you wore such a strange disguise
So neat love: the way I fell for your lies
[CHORUS]
All the times you lied
And all the times I cried
I'm never gonna be the same again
Lost in your world of fantasy
Look what you've done to me.

Have you ever climbed
the mountain?
Have you ever crossed
the sea?
Take a look around
the corner
And listen to your
heartbeat
Have you ever touched the rainbow?
Take a ride on a
ferris wheel
It takes one step to
start a journey
It's up to you to
make it real
This is the time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your
heart
This is the time in your
life and it's never too late
To see the light in
the dark
You gotta follow your
heart
Walking far away
horizons
You will never walk
alone
You'll be at home
where your heart is
A million miles away
from home
This is the time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your
heart
This is the time in
your life and it's never too late
To see the light in
the dark
You gotta follow your
heart
Show me the way, who knows the way?
This is the only road
to go
Life brings me down,
life takes me up
And only, only Heaven
knows
This is the time for yourself to be free
You gotta follow your
heart
This is the time in
your life and it's never too late
To see the light in
the dark
You gotta follow your
heart
You gotta follow your heart.
