Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind - whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe - so close your eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us

. . .



Today we took a walk up the street,
We picked a flower and climbed a hill above the lake
Secret thoughts, u said aloud,
We watched the faces in the clouds
Until the clouds have blown away
Were we ever somewhere else u know
It's hard to say

I never saw a blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're giving me all u have and more
No one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now, oh I
I never saw a blue like that

I can't believe
Among the gold I was alone
I didn't know u, I've never seen you, or heard your name
And even now, I'm so amazed it's like a dream
It's like a rainbow, it's like the rain
Some things are the way they are and words just can't explain

I never saw a blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're giving me all u have and more
No one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now, oh I
I never saw a blue like that before

It feels like now, it feels always,
And it feels like coming home

I never saw a blue like that before
Across the sky, around the world
You're giving me all u have and more
No one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now, oh I
I never saw a blue like that before

(duet with Andrea Bocelli)

Speak to my heart, tell that you know
The pain of my longing, it seems to whirl
Speak, oh my star,
Tell me if he will come
August night full of desire
Search for my love I hold this fire
Wanting an angel to smile walking by my way

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To explain it
But you, my starbright friend
Please tell me if he will stay

Dell'amore non si sa
quando viene o se ne va
dell'amore non si sa
quando sarà
da dove arriverà

My brother star straight from my dream
speak to me until morning is dawning
Tell me it's true
???

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To attain this
But you are who tell me
All things, only the truth

Dell'amore non si sa
quando viene o se ne va
dell'amore non si sa
ma quando amore arriverà
tutto intorno cambierà
nella notte brillerà

Tutto cambierà

. . .


Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
 Clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
And you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love
Really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Oh but now old friends they're acting strange
And they shake their heads
And they tell me that I've changed
Well something's lost but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life

. . .



What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't say goodbye

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you cry

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I first come in June
I'm falling for you

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know - unless you try

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

. . .


Music: Eithne Ní Bhraonáin - Lyrics: Roma Ryan

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië (Quenya: Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way

Mornië alantië (Quenya: Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

Anima mea
Mane!
Quanta qualia
Conventus Gaudia
Erunt

Bachianas Brasileiras No.5 Aria

[No lyrics]

. . .



My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her
Move here and move there
And then she went onwards
Just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening
Moves over the lake

Last night she came to me
My dead love came in
So softly she came
That her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
It will not be long now

. . .



You know, sometimes I feel like
I gave it my hardest try
If there's anything left
I lost in on the last rollercoaster ride
When I get home
This is what I say
When my baby asks 'How was your day?'
I say grace

Took a rock from the garden I made here
In the backyard with all ill love and some care
I come here when the world gets too crazy
I come here when I'm just feeling sad
We all need a place we can go where
You pick your dreams out of thin air
I work in this garden of faith every single day

I say grace for the blue painted skies
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I travelled down
I say grace for the love that I have found

Used to wanna be at the top of ladder
Even when you leave you just come back down
When time gets a hold of my horses
I think I'll just laugh and go for the ride
Now when I look out my window
Where I've planted my heart and my soul
It does a girl a world of good
To watch her garden grow

I say grace for the blue painted skies
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I travelled down
I say grace

I've been through the hardest of seasons
Holding my heart in my hand
And every kinda thought has a reason
Now I understand
When the roof caves in
Lets the sun shine in
Life is beautiful
Now at the end of day

I say grace for the blue painted skies
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I travelled down
I say grace

I say grace x2

. . .



Through the window of my soul
All the secrets that I hold
Will be yours to share for
Always, always

Like a whisper in the wind
The gentle breeze touches my skin
And I know you're with me
Always, always

I can feel it in the air
The fire that we share
Can only come from deep within
It's the light that burns so bright
It guides you through the night
And leads you to me
So find your way back and

Chorus:
Hold me, touch me
Let the love come rushing through me
I'm yours with every breath I take
Forever and ever
Hold on to love
Cast it down
That's what we're made of
Never let go for my heart's sake
'Cause my heart belongs to you

I lie awake to hear you breathe
Only you can feel the need
That builds and burns so deep
Inside me, inside me

As the moon lights up the sky
There's a thousand reasons why
My heart will only beat for you

You're the reason that I live
So now all I've got to give
I give it to you
Just don't fight the feeling

(Chorus)

(Don't give up but just give in
Or we'll always be here waiting for you)

Waiting for you
Love will see us through

(Chorus)

My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to you
Only you
