Westlife is an Irish pop group formed on 3 July 1998. The group's original lineup comprised Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan and Brian McFadden (departed from the band in 2004). The group is the only act in UK history to have their first seven singles go straight to Number 1, and they have gone on to sell over 44 million records worldwide[1] which includes their studio, single, video, and compilation albums.[2][3] Despite the group's worldwide success, they've only had one U.S. hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts: "Swear It Again," which made it to #20 in 2000.
Westlife were originally signed by Simon Cowell and are currently managed by Louis Walsh. They garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, tying with Cliff Richard and trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The group has also broken a few top records, including "Music artist with most consecutive number 1's in the UK". It was officially announced by the Official Charts Company that they are the "2nd biggest selling artist" (trailing behind Robbie Williams) and "Biggest selling band of the decade" (beating Coldplay) in UK with 11 million album sales.[4] At the same time, their very own song "Evergreen" was hailed as the top selling single in the UK of the decade (2000–2010).

1. MY LOVE
[Songwriters: Elofsson, Jorgen Kjell; Nylen, Per; Kreuger, David Bengt; Magnusson, Per;]
An empty street
An empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had
The songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for a love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again
My love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again
My love
I try to read
I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself
From thinking
Oh no
I wonder how
I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together
Oh yeah
And oh my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again
My love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again
To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from my heart
You're all I'm thinking of
Reaching for the love that seems so far
So I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again
My love
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again
My love
Say a little prayer
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue to see you once again
Overseas from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green to see you once again
My love

2. ALL OUT OF LOVE
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know
[Chorus:]
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone
[Chorus:]
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
[Chorus: 3x]
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

3. AS LOVE IS MY WITNESS
Mark:
Once in a lifetime
You look in someone's eyes
And it feels like the world stops turning at once
That's what it felt like for me
I knew knew right away this day would be
Standing together, believing forever
Is there in our reach
Chorus (Mark)
'Cos love is my witness
I swear
I'll be with you till the end
Nothing in tear this love apart
I'll put my hand upon my heart
This is the promise I'll make to you
Whatever comes we'll see it through
Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness
Shane:
We've both known sorrow
We've known heartache
When our dreams for tomorrow
Seem so far away
But that brought us closer - yeah
It brought us together
So that we'd know the real thing
That's why I can yeah - ye-eh-yeah
Chorus: (Shane)
'Cos love is my witness
I swear
I'll be with you till the end

Together we'll face the mystery
Here in my heart, deep in my soul
Somehow I know, I know
'Cos love is my witness
I swear
I'll be with you till the end
Nothing in tear this love apart
I'll put my hand upon my heart
This is the promise I'll make to you
(This is the promise I'll make to you)
Whatever comes we'll see it through
Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness
Nothing can break it
This feeling's too strong
'Cos love is my witness

4. CLOSE YOUR EYES
Songwriters: Hector, Wayne Anthony; Mccutcheon, Steven;
If you wanna know, tomorrow morning
I have to leave but wherever I may be
Best believe, I'm thinking of you
I can't believe how much I love
All we have is here tonight
We don't want to waste this time
Give me something to remember
Baby, put your lips on mine
And I'll love you forever
Anytime that we find ourselves apart
Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Just look to your heart
And that's where I'll be
If you just close your eyes
Till you're drifting away
You'll never be too far from me
If you close your eyes
I know, I'm gonna see you again
But promise me that you won't forget
'Cause as long as you remember
A part of us will be together
So even when you're fast asleep
Look for me inside your dreams
Keep believing in what we're sharing
And even when I'm not there to tell you
I'll, I'll love, love you forever
Anytime that I can't be where you are
Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Just look to your heart
And that's where I'll be
If you just close your eyes
Till you're drifting away
You'll never be too far from me
If you close your eyes
Is there anywhere that far?
Anytime you're feeling low
Is there anywhere that love cannot reach? Oh no
It could be anywhere on earth
It could be anywhere I'll be
Oh baby, if you want to see
Just close your eyes
And you'll be here with me
Look to your heart
That's where I'll be
Just close your eyes
Till you're drifting away
You'll never be too far from me

5. OPEN YOUR HEART
I didn't mean to let you down
You have to believe it
I don't know what went through my mind
But now I can see
That I waited too long
To tell you how much it matters
Just to be right here with you
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should have told you so
Baby open your heart
Won't you give me a second chance
And i'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understand
If you open your heart
To love me once again
I'll try to make it up to you
I want you to know
Baby I swear that I'll be true
And never let go
If I waited too long
To tell you how much it matters
Just to be right here with you
But I couldn't think of anything better
I should have told you so
Baby open your heart
Won't you give me a second chance
And i'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understand
If you open your heart
To love me once again
We could relive this pain and sorrow
But we better do it in time
Start over here and save tomorrow
I wanna make you mine
Open your heart with a chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart and I'll care
And I will make you understand
Oh baby,
If you open your heart
To love me once again
Baby open your heart
Won't you give me a second chance
And I'll be here forever
Open your heart
Let me show you how much I care
And I will make you understand
If you open your heart
To love me once again

6. REACH OUT
When everything is war
You’re living in a battle zone
When everything is torn
And the world is cold as stone
Don’t lock all the doors
Close your heart
Shut me out of your life
And throw all the keys
Chorus:
Will you reach out?
Will you reach out for me?
When life holds you down
Like you’re drowning at sea
I’m the hand that you need
‘Til you land at your own destiny
Reach out for me
When everything is wrong
Distant cries still reach my ears
When ever you’re alone
Doesn’t mean that love’s not here
Unlock all the doors
And decide in your mind
This is not how you want it to be
Chorus
Reach out
Will you reach out for me?
So don’t hide
I’m right here
By your side
Shelter you
From your fears
From your fears
Oh your fears
Oh your fears
I won’t be
Far away
I will pull you in
Out of the rain
Chorus
Reach out
Will you reach out for me?
Reach out for me
I’m the hand that you need
‘Til you land at your own destiny
Reach out
Reach out for me

7. TO NIGHT
[Bryan:]
Lately I'm so tired
If I took it all out on you
I never meant to
If I left you outside
If you ever felt I ignored you
Know my life is all you
So put your best dress on
And wrap yourself in the arms of someone
Who wants to give you all the love you want
Tonight, I'm gonna make it up to you
Tonight, I'm gonna make love to you
Tonight, you're gonna know how much I missed you, baby
Tonight, I dedicate my heart to you
Tonight, I'm gonna be a part of you
Tonight, you're gonna know how much I miss you
And I miss you so
[Shane:]
I don't wanna act like
I know that you'll be mine forever
Though I hope it's forever
Don't want you to feel like
I take you for granted
Whenever we are together
So put your best dress on
And wrap yourself in the arms of someone
Who wants to give you all the love you want
[All:]
Tonight, I'm gonna make it up to you

Just a smile and the rain is gone
Can hardly believe it (yeah)
There's an angel standing next to me
Reaching for my heart
Just a smile and there's no way back
Can hardly believe it (yeah)
But there's an angel, she's calling me
Reaching for my heart
I know, that I'll be ok now
This time it's real

It's all I wanna do
Everytime I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you
I was lost in a lonely place
Could hardly even believe it (yeah)
Holding on to yesterdays
Far, far too long
Now I believe its ok cause this time it's real
I lay my love on you
It's all I wanna do
Everytime I breathe I feel brand new
You open up my heart
Show me all your love, and walk right through
As I lay my love on you
I never knew that love could fell so good
Like once in a lifetime
You change my world

10. YOU MAKE ME FEEL
[ Songwriters: Jarl, Niklas John; Jonsson, Patric Kurt; Sandberg, Martin Karl;]
I've been trying to reach you
'Cause I've got something to say
But you're talking about
Just nothing at all
And you're slipping away
We were cryin' together
It was a long time ago
Before you walk out that door
And leave me this way
Just hear what I say
You make me feel
You make me real
For the rest of my days
In so many ways
You make me feel
I've been trying to leave you
Why should we go on like this?
But my heart can't breathe
When I hear you say
"It's better this way"
You make me feel
You make me real
For the rest of my days
In so many ways
You make me feel
Ten thousand light years away from you
Keep thinking maybe it's time to let go
But by the end of the day
I still want to say, "Do you?"
You make me feel
You make me real
For the rest of my days
In so many ways
You make me feel
I've been trying to reach you
'Cause I've got something to say
For the rest of my days
In so many ways
You make me feel

11. LOVE CRIME
I didn't know what to say
I tried to look the other way
When I saw you there with him
Acting like I don't care
But you can read from how I stare
That I'm hurting deep inside
But even though you look so good tonight
I'll be fine
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
It's a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
It's a love crime to me
Love has never been good to me
Maybe it's just my destiny
To live my life alone
Who was I trying to fool
Thinking our love would break the rule
Still I'm standing on my own
And even though you look so good tonight
I'll be fine
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
It's a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
It's a love crime to me
Here I am not knowing
Tell me what to do
But I know that for you
To be here without me by your side
It's a love crime
Why you act so surprised
I can tell from the guilt in your eyes
It's a love crime to me

12. WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
(feat. Diana Ross)
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna 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
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring 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 wanna 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
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring 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
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring 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

Eyes
Like a sunrise
Like a rainfall
Down my soul
And I wonder
I wonder why you look at me like that
What you're thinking
What's behind
Don't tell me
But it feels like love
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
And make it Evergreen
Touch
Like a angel
Like velvet to my skin
And I wonder
Wonder why you wanna stay the night
What you're dreaming
What's behind
Don't tell me
But it feels like love
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
And make it Evergreen
(Don't tell me
But it feels like love)

You're the only girl that I need
Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
