Government figures say that 177 000 families have been displaced in the floods, the worst in five decades.

A government statement said that the police were looking for boats to transport food and water to tens of thousands of people particularly in the Galle and Matara districts. In the worst affected Ratnapura district, flood levels were rapidly receding leaving a trail of destruction while downstream rivers were bursting their banks and leaving more homes under water. Meanwhile, the official death toll was raised to at least 242 earlier today. School children, non-governmental agencies as well as radio and television channels began collecting clothing and food for those who lost all their belongings in the nation’s worst floods in 56 years. District officials have said that most of the tea and rice crops in the southern province were destroyed in the floods.

If tomorrow never comes – Ronan Keating – listen
 
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
(31) ...........................................
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

Cos' I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
(32) ................................................................
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes

Will she know how much I loved her

Did I try in every way to show her every day

That she's my only one

And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

Tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

When you say nothing at all – Ronan Keating – listen

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart,
Without saying a word you can light up the dark,
Try as I may I can never (33) ……………
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

The smile on your face let me know that you need me,
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me,

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me (34) ………….. I fall,
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud,
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they can never define,
What's being said between your heart and mine.

The smile on your face let me know that you need me,
there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me,
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall,
You say it best when you say nothing at all.
The smile on your face let me know that you need me,
there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me,
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall,
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Words – Boyzone – listen
 

Smile, an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you gone
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory
Let's start a (35) ……………. story
Now my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

Talk, in (36) ……………… words
And dedicate them all, to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me

A single word I say...

And words are all I have
To take your heart away

And words are all I have
To take your heart away

You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away

No matter what – Boyzone – listen
 

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However, they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't (37) ………….. what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know my love’s forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say

No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And (38) ………………. from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everything you need

No matter if the sun don't shine (The sun don't shine)
Or if the skies are blue (Skies are blue)
No matter what the ending
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe (What I believe)
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

No, no matter what
No, no matter what
No, no matter what, that's all that matters to me
No, no matter what
No, no matter what, that's all that matters to me
