Let It Be Me

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me

Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always---let--it-be--me

Life In The City

Living in the country
far away from home,
how I miss those city lights,
yes I'm lost when I'm alone.
Grew up on the sidewalk,
always had a friend,
every day was something new
and the nights would never end.

I can hear you oh calling,
life in the city is calling.
I went away without knowing
changes you put me through.
Calling, life in the city is calling,
calling me back and I'm feeling
like I belong to you.

Living in the country
gave me time to see
traffic jams and neon lights,
baby mean a lot to me.
Bought myself some freedom
but it just don't feel the same
as the crowded streets and subway seats
and the place I got my name.

I can hear you oh calling,
life in the city is calling.
I went away without knowing
changes you put me through.
Calling, life in the city is calling,
calling me back and I'm feeling
like I belong to you.

Lovely Lady Of Arcadia

We met one magicsummer day
A dream cametrue and blew a way
For as your love began to grow
The time had come for me to go
Now all that Iam living for
Is to comeback to you once more
Lovely lady of Arcadia
Promise you will wait for me
In your arms I found my shangrila
And it's where Ilo long to be
Lost in love eternally
I feel alone amongthe crowds
And sunny skies are filled with clouds
I miss your kiss and you embrace
The empting smile that lights your face
And just aslong as we're a part
The same old song will haunt my heart
Lovely lady of Arcadia
Promise you will wait for me
In your arms I found my shangrila
And it's where Ilo long to be
Lost in love eternally

Lovely lady of Arcadia
When these lonely days are thru
I will stay and pray Arcadia
Shall be paradise for two
Paradise for me and you
Shall be paradise for two
Paradise for me and you

Loving Arms

If you could see me now,
the one who said that he'd rather roam,
the one who said he'd rather be alone.
If you could only see me now.

If I could hold you now
just for a moment.
If I could really make you mine
just for a while.
Turn back the hands of time.
If I could only hold you now.

(Chorus)

I've been too long in the wind
too long in the rain
taking any comfort that I can
looking back and longing for
the freedom of my chains
and lying in your loving arms again.

If you could hear me now
singing somewhere through the lonely night
dreaming of the arms that held me tight.
If you could only hear me now.

(Chorus)

Margarita

Elle ?tait la premi?re qui comptait vraiment
dans le bl? en herbe nous allions
au printemps
je voulais sur ses l?vres
un baiser innocent
le ciel bleu ?tait le seul t?moin de cet amour d'enfant
Margarita

Margarita

je l'aimais ? la folie
et je l'aime encore
comme on garde un secret passionn?ment

Margarita

[interlude]

je cueillais pour elle d'immenses bouquets de fleurs
jamais l'ombre d'un chagrin ne passait dans nos coeurs
et quand je lui demandais si elle n'aimait que moi
elle souriait
elle m'embrassait, mais ne r?pondait pas
Margarita
Margarita je l'aimais ? la folie
et je l'aime encore
comme on garde un secret passionn?ment

Margarita

[interlude]

le temps de l'?ge tendre ne peut pas toujours durer
il fallait s'y attendre
la vie nous a s?par?e

Sans me laisser d'adresse ni mot pour m'expliquer
elle ?tait d?j? presque une femme quand elle s'en est all?e

Margarita

je l'aimais ? la folie

Maria

Con gli occhi suoi,
lei mi tocc??
e il fuoco mi arriv??,
per me ball?? e cominci?? la festa fra di noi.
Il sole messicano sopra il corpo si ferm??,
mi prese piano ed io non dissi no.
Un quadro di Madonna
il suo volto mi sembr??,
non so se fosse donna,
a far l??™amore mi insegn??,
poi tenera la notte un letto grande ci prest??
ed il suo nome sempre grider??.

Non scordo mai Maria,
il solo amore della vita mia.
Non scordo mai Maria,
il tuo ricordo ?? la mia poesia.

I gesti suoi,
i baci suoi,
li so a memoria ormai,
gli occhi chiusi, al buio, io la riconoscerei.
Seguendo quel profumo un po??™ selvaggio che ha lei,
un??™altra volta io la stringerei.

Non scordo mai Maria,
il solo amore della vita mia.
Non scordo mai Maria,
il tuo ricordo ?? una poesia.

Marie Jolie

Sometimes I feel
I'm alone
and I wonder what I'd do
if I couldn't turn to you
You are all my life and more
take this love I give
Marie jolie
Marie jolie

The seasons change
but love remains
growing like a rose in spring
all the summer sun can bring
I will find it when I'm with you
You are all I have
Marie jolie
Marie jolie
I know there'll be

(interlude):

Sad times for me
But as long as you are there
I know that I need not care
Love is everywhere you are
My life is the girl
Marie jolie
Marie jolie

But if you keep
your love from me
I will have no way to turn
I will find if hard to learn
living life without a dream
which may will I be

Morir Al Lado De Mi Amor

Si tengo que morir
Querr? que est?s all?
S? que tanto amor
Me ayudar? a descender
Al m?s all?

Entonces dir? Adios
Sin miedo y sin dolor
En la soledad
Revivir? los a?os de felicidad

Para cruzar el umbral
No deseo nada m?s

Acariciado por tu voz
Morir al lado de mi amor
Me dormir? mir?ndote El tiempo que pas?
Jam?s nos separ?
El nos unir?
En un rinc?n profundo de la eternidad

A la hora del final
Solo quiero tu mirar
con tu perfume alrededor
Morir al lado de mi amor
Me dormir? mir?ndote

Para cruzar el umbral
No deseo nada m?s
Acariciado por tu voz
Morir al lado de mi amor
Y dormir? mir?ndote

pour traverser les m?moires

et m'endormir sur ton sourire le temps qui nous poursuis
ne peut nous s?parer

aux joies pass?es vont nous unir ? l'infini

pour m'enfoncer dans la nuit
et renoncer ? la vie

mourir aupr?s de mon amour
et m'endormir sur ton sourire

pour traverser les m?moires
je ne veux que ton regard
pour mon voyage sans retour
mourir aupr?s de mon amour
et m'endormir sur ton sourire

My Face In The Rain

My face in the rain
I walk all alone
It's Sunday time is slow,
I'm happy that is all I know

My thoughts to the sun
I'm walking all alone
In a state of grace
All my life is on my own
I am happy that is all I know

My face in the rain,
and everything is [falling] now
my life is a song
It's Sunday time is slow,
I'm happy now, that is all I know

[interlude]

My face in the rain
rain falling down in a state of grace
I'm walking all alone now
I'm happy now that is all I know

My face to the sun,
I'm walking all alone
In a state of love
Ooh, It's Sunday time is slow
I'm happy now that is all I know My face, looking at the rain (sing it again now)
I'm walking all alone
walking all alone now (walking all alone, all right)
a Sunday, and a Sunday afternoon
I'm walking all alone
and I am happy now
hm

Ooo, My face [up/at] the sun (Oh yeah)
I'm walking all alone now (walking all alone all right)
Sunday, Sunday
and my face in the rain
and I'm happy, but I'm happy that I was all alone
happy, happy, now
'cause I'm walking all alone

happy, happy, now
'cause I'm walking all alone
happy, happy, now
I'm just walking all alone
happy, happy, now
I'm just walking all alone
happy, happy, now
I'm just walking all alone
happy, happy, now
I'm just walking all alone

My Friend The Wind

My friend the wind will come from the hills
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
My friend the wind will tell me a secret
He shares with me, he shares with me

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

My friend the wind go back to the hills
And tell my love a day will soon come
Oh friendly wind you tell her a secret
You know so well, oh you know so well

My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone

I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh

La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou

La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou

My Reason

Musique. Musique.

I sing to you ma jeune fille,
a sense of main is deep in me,
I hope you like the sound of my musique.
I saw you pass by on the walk,
ink in and find the words to talk,
so I will turn my feelings on musique.

I give you des chansons d??™amour,
from ancient worlds and old folklore,
with memories and sound of my musique.
Just walk beside me hand in hand,
to my mediterranean land,
listen to the voice of my musique.

I saw you smile inside and clear my way,
your eyes reflecting sunlight in my heart,
you look so happy, girlfriend, and so gay,
so closed to me and yet so far apart,
I felt if I could take your hand
that you were dreamy, understand
the reason I sing ma chanson d??™amour.

Paloma Blanca

When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun

I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Once I had my share of losing
for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Prier

Prier devant l'enfant qui dort
Prier au pied d'un arbre mort
Prier un dieu ou une id?©e
Prier au coeur des cath?©drales
Prier un soir sous les ?©toiles
Prier au moment de pleurer
Prier pour d'autres malheureux
Prier en refermant les yeux
Prier comme on passe aux aveux
Prier quand on voudrait crier
Prier, prier, prier, oh prier
Prier, oh prier, pour apprendre ? aimer
Prier, prier, prier, oh prier
Prier, oh prier, pour apprendre ? aimer

Prier devant le temps qui passe
Prier ? l'infini d'espace
Prier tout seul ou par milliers
Prier ? genou sur la terre
Prier au soleil du d?©sert
Prier pour ne pas oublier

Prier pour un amour perdu
Prier en marchant dans la rue
Prier en parlant aux statues
Prier quand on voudrait crier

Prier, prier, prier, oh prier
Prier, oh prier, pour apprendre ? aimer
Prier, prier, prier, oh prier
Prier, oh prier, pour apprendre ? aimer

Race To The End

There is but one freedom
Man running along
Each step that he's taking
A step to his soul
The passion and courage
It takes to be there
The spirit of freedom
Alive in the air

Whenever the running man awakes
To chalenge to glory
He knows he can turn the key once more
To unlock the soul

The way becomes clearer The way is complete
The need, that of winning
Admit no defeat
The circles together
Hold hands to the sky
The freedom of running
The freedom to fly

Let no man surround himself with pain
But use it to free him
The game is to learn to live again
To try to the end
A race to the end

Rain And Tears

Rain and tears, are the same
but in the sun
you've got to play the game

When you cry
in winter time
you can pretend
it's nothing but the rain

How many times I've seen
tears coming from your blue eyes

Rain and tears, are the same
but in the sun
you've got to play the game

Give me an answer of love
(o----ooohhh)
I need an answer of love
(o----ooohhh)
Rain and tears, in the sun
But in your heart
you feel the rainbow waves

Rain and tears
both I shun
for in my heart there 'll never be a sun

Rain and tears, are the same
but in the sun
you've got to play the game
Game ....

Seasons Of Love

Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else

Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain

Ooooooooh, there is nothing there but the silence
cold and lonely silence
everything reminds me of you

Ooooooooh, I close my eyes and see you
In every dream I see you
I could almost reach out for you

Seasons of love are gone forever
Echoes of words you still remember
Silence is like a friend
Cause now there is nobody else

Seasons of love are gone forever
After the storm you still remember
Part of the dream that died
but all the memories remain

Ooooooooh, here do I go from here now
And I'll just never know how
and why I lost the seasons of love [interlude]

Seasons of love are gone forever

where do I go from here now

Shadows

Shadows of a thousand faces keep on turning in your mind,
and forgotten names and places never really left behind.
Is it here imagination seeking shelter from the rain,
or a long self conversation once again.
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do,
silently they seem to linger any way you may run to.
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair,
facing you at any moment if you dare.

Gentle past at once surrender at what you didn??™t understand,
conquest of the night that ended holding you with trembling hands.
In a book a fall leaf-clover marks the days at below,
till she found that it was over long ago.
Little thanks had most of meaning leaving only emptiness,
tender words and simple feelings never eased your hungriness.
Yesterdays remain so sudden and tomorrows round the bend,
can you read the line that dark ends on your hand.

Both ends of a candle burning shine so brightly for a while,
rancours of a life reflecting in your smile.
Shadows never point a finger at the things you say or do,
silently they seem to linger any way you may run to.
Sharing every joy or torment, every laughter or despair,
facing you at any moment if you dare.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh .....
I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied
So, they said someday you find
All who love are blind
Oh .....
When my heart's on fire
You must realise
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them
And I gaily laughed
To think you would doubt my love
Yet today
My love has flown away
I am without my love
Now, laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide

So .....
Si I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes

[interlude]

So they said someday you find

So Dreamy

How was I to know
That from our very first hello
I'd feel so dreamy (so dreamy)
You came rushing in
With all the promises of spring
When I was lonely (so lonely)
Everything she knew
Almost unreal because of you
I felt so dreamy (so dreamy)
Love had come to me
So very unexpectedly
I was so lonely (so lonely)

Dreaming of the time
I'll hear you say that you'll be mine
Until the end of time
All I ever knew could never be compared to you
And it's so far behind
Dreaming for a while
Each time you make me realize
That all I see is real
I could never find the words to say
The way I feel

Hello morning sun
Another day has just begun
And it's so dreamy (so dreamy)
Where can I begin to say the love I feel within
I feel so dreamy (so dreamy)

Dreaming of the time
I'll hear you say that you'll be mine
Until the end of time
All I ever knew could never be compared to you
And it's so far behind
Dreaming for a while
Each time you make me realize
That all I see is real
I could never find the words to say
The way I feel

How was I to know

I'd feel so dreamy (so dreamy)
You came rushing in

When I was lonely (so lonely)
Everything she knew
Almost unreal because of you
I felt so dreamy (so dreamy)
Love had come to me
So very unexpectedly
I was so lonely (so lonely)

Sometimes When We Touch

Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sing to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Oh..oh..oh...summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Oh...summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with the unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me...more summer wine
Woh..woh..oh...summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Mm...summer wine

When I woke up, the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me craving for...more summer wine
Oh..oh..summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off those silver spurs, help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
Oh...oh...summer wine
