The Taker

Why did I fall in love so easily?
How was it that I let you in?
You treated me gently, you were always there
It was my fault, I gave you all
You took everything and parted
And after all this time still not a word of kindness
How could I believe you, it was oh so false
It’s funny how you try to seem a good guy but no
You took the best part of me.

When will you say what I’m waiting to hear?
How many more sleepless nights will I bear?
Suspense is killing the magic before us
Speak now or be quiet forever.
Am I speaking through my answers every time you ask for more?
I imagine that you love me even after all you know
Am I reading your intentions? Are you hiding from it all?
And how can you ever miss something that you’ve never ever known.

Maybe Next Spring
04:24

It’s the summer breeze that makes me long for your sweet kiss
It’s your sunny eyes they promise paradise
The touch of your fingertips across my spine sends out some chills that I cannot define
The leaves of the trees become more alive and it’s just oh so natural
The blush on your cheek whenever our eyes gently meet
Your skin felt soft when you touched my hand
The smile in your eyes makes me smile and sigh
When will you ever take me in your arms?
Suspense is soon going to make me cry.

Summer Breeze

It’s the summer breeze that makes me long for your sweet kiss
It’s your sunny eyes they promise paradise
The touch of your fingertips across my spine sends out some chills that I cannot define
The leaves of the trees become more alive and it’s just oh so natural
The blush on your cheek whenever our eyes gently meet
Your skin felt soft when you touched my hand
The smile in your eyes makes me smile and sigh
When will you ever take me in your arms?
Suspense is soon going to make me cry.

Is there a chance you could be mine, dear?
I never felt like this before.
After the rain, after I saw you, magic was there.
Wonderin’ free, you lonely creature,
Will my sweet kiss throw you in my arms?
What if we just drifted away, would I always say.
Am I insane? Am I just dreaming?
Is this flame still true?
Will this go somewhere? Why won’t you tell me?
Is there an answer? What do you say?
Do you love me or is this hopeless?
Can’t you see that love is here to stay?
Things tend to happen once in a lifetime and if you fear there’s no use.

I'm not in love with you
02:27
|
|||
I don’t care what you do ‘çause it never makes me blue
I like you and you like me and you also like her.
I don’t care if you’re untrue, or if you don’t give a clue
You were always just too nice, too young, too cold and free
I am sorry, I’m not in love with you
I don’t care if you find somebody new.
You are not the one for me
I am not the one for you
In my mind you’ll always be my friendly lover too…
Three, four, five…farewell goodbye!

Luisa, my dear
02:54
|
|||
When you were born, light as the dawn,
Your smile was sweeter than any spring,
Gentle and warm, when in my arms,
I get a feeling I can’t describe.
Little baby, I wish you peace,
You are as precious as you could be,
Graceful and free, you will always be,
Luisa, my dear.

Count on me
02:21
|
|||
You should have thought before he thought the words to me
It wasn’t fair enough for we were family
Weren’t we close during the times we shared?
You hurt, I know, but that’s what love’s about, so
The road is sometimes hard for all of us you know,
But there’s no reason for you to be blue and cold
You will be in my heart forever more
And you can count on me.

Intimate Strangers
04:56
|
|||
I don’t know why, it’s a great feeling
Not knowing you, sensing you so near.
Whenever you speak to me,
You just do something to me,
You are so sweet
You make me smile, dear
The things you say, they’re quite surprising
’Çause you make me feel so young
You light up my life with your eyes.
Is this cupid’s work or magic?
You sent me flying, stirred my mind and soul,
Even at a distance and without trying
I know it was real, it was so nice
If I’m allowed, please may I touch you,
I know your kiss will make me happy
‘Çause you make me feel alive
And you give me peace of mind.

You are a star
02:06
|
|||
You are s sunset, you are a star,
you are a blessing, you are so bright
You are the rainbow, you are the wind,
You’re like the sweet sweet promise of spring.
You are everything that is right
You’re the forces of nature all together.
You are the forest, you are the sea,
And you are so good to me.
