She Made Rainbows
03:36

Remembered with a smile
Her courage no one could deny
Beyond the extra mile
On her love I could rely
She could be wild
Or innocent like a child
She made rainbows every day
Dancing always made us smile
She was the dancing queen
We were laughing all the while
As she twirled around with me
I loved the dancing queen
She did everything for me
She made rainbows every day
Giving hugs and giving smiles
Little gifts and big ice creams
Spread the love and love the life
These things she taught to me
When life ain’t easy
When the road is rocky
She made rainbows every day
She would always make me smile
When she tickled and told me jokes
I felt so inspired
There was love in every word she spoke
With everything she did
The brightest beam of light would spread
She made rainbows every day
Don’t you know I miss those smiles
Curly locks, rusty hair
Her brightly coloured styles
Dangly earrings she would wear
I danced with a dancing queen
She was everything to me
She made rainbows every day
I danced with a dancing queen
She was everything to me
She made rainbows every day
She made rainbows every day
Rainbows every day

I’m curious
To know what happens now
Curious
About the path of your life and how
I never fail to be amazed, surprised
I am always on your side
Thinking back to when you were a child
Fairy tales you’d bring to life
And now there’s Circus jugglers, Tin Soldiers, Fairies and mermaids
In your life
No matter what lies ahead of you
You have the bond
The band of two
It’s my deepest wish
That the sun shines
On both of you
And everything you do
May love sustain and nourish you
It’s everything you know that’s true
The world connected
Your soul imbued with understanding
And your song of the earth
And your song of trust
Your song of Joy
And your song of love and understanding
No matter what lies ahead of you
You have the bond
The band of two
It’s my deepest wish
That the sun shines
On both of you
And everything you do
No matter what lies ahead of you
You have the bond
The band of two
It’s my deepest wish
That the sun shines
On both of you
And everything you do
Both of you
And everything you do
Both of you
And everything you do

How True Love Can Be
04:37
|
|||
|
There’s a fine line
Between your jokes
And how you twist the knife
These years I’ve been loving you
I couldn’t make us right
You didn’t love me as you should
You didn’t care the hurt you caused
I thought I misunderstood
I didn’t know that I was lost
Scars only tell you where I’ve been
Of shattered dreams
Things I’ve seen
They don’t control the way I feel
Who I can be
Or where I’m going
I decided on a better life
With true love and a new sunrise
My heart is healing
My soul is free
Now I know how true love can be
I’ve got a new friend
A new reality
I found love
I didn’t know how love could be
This is my time
I believe
Now I know how true love can be
Scars only tell you where I’ve been
Of shattered dreams
Things I’ve seen
They don’t control the way I feel
Who I can be
Or where I’m going
Since I decided on a better life
I have true love and a new sunrise
I’ve done my healing
My soul is free
Now I know how true love can be
Now I know how true love can be

Tale Of Our Lives
03:14
|
|||
|
No Matter what the day brings
You make my world feel right
In this lifetime
I know you’re by my side
But should our luck run out
We can turn the black to white
Back where we started
Though it’s hard to bare
Rise up and fight
Years flying by
You and I
We’re better than ever
The tale of our lives
This beautiful song
Keeps growing stronger
There is a reason
For the feelings I have known
It’s the strain of modern living
keeps trying to bring us down
Years flying by
You and I
We’re better than ever
The tale of our lives
This beautiful song
Keeps growing stronger
Take me onward
It’s not just words
We got love to share
Step out forward
Never look back
Faith in who we are
Years flying by
You and I
We’re better than ever
The tale of our lives
This beautiful song
Keeps growing stronger
No Matter what the day brings
You make my world feel right

Fly Or Fight
04:05

Should I fly
Should I fight
In my dreams demons choke me every night
Emotions taking over me
I lose control
I cannot see
I push
You push till we both break
Left in this exhausted state
When demons wake me up at night
Sometimes I fly
Sometimes I fight
Your touch
Your soft kisses
Are everything that I am missing
When you mean this much to me
Should I fly
Should I fight
This relationship
Is breaking bit by bit
I don’t know the reason why
But it feels so good that I need you
The way a lover should
The demon tells me
I have to fly
Your touch
And your soft kisses
Are everything that I am missing
When you mean this much to me
Should I fly or should I fight
I’m filled with doubt
I can’t work this out
My thoughts collide
I don’t care for you
I love you
Fight this emotional tide
And your touch
And your soft kisses
Are everything that I am missing
When you mean this much to me
Should I fly
Should I fight
When you mean this much to me
Should I fly
Should I fight

One Hundred Thousand
04:24

I will keep you warm
I will keep you safe
I’ll walk out with you
On the edge of space
We’ll touch the stars
With your sweet superpowers
Lost in love
For a hundred thousand years
I will keep you warm
I will keep you close
Hold your hand
Love you the most
Like a lucky charm
To keep you safe
Hold you tight
In a hundred thousand ways
As we write our song
I know we can’t go wrong
Giving everything
Wave your magic wand
Two Lords of time
Our souls entwined
Forever
Always
Our star will shine
You can keep me war
With just a smile
As I hold you tight
For a hundred thousand miles
I declare my love, for you I give my all
I’ll be strong, so you will never fall
As we write our song
I know we can’t go wrong
Giving everything
Wave your magic wand
Two Lords of time
Our souls entwined
Forever
Always
Our star will shine
With you always
Until the end of days

Hide Away
04:53
|

Lost in Darkness
Feeling cold and alone
When even a crowded room can be lonely for some
Often you’re disposition is the happiest kind
But inside you’re fighting for your life
Can you escape from the voices
That torture and numb all your senses
Can you leave them all behind
If I could sooth your pain
I’d try time and again
I will listen without judgement
Hide away
You hide away
Hide away
Can you find your way
Caught in the moment
With thoughts of the past
When everyone loves you
But you’re feeling outcast
You light up the room
Make everything right
But inside you’re fighting for your life
Can you escape from the voices
That torture and numb all your senses
Can you leave them all behind
If I could sooth your pain
I’d try time and again
I will listen without judgement
Hide away
You hide away
Hide away
Can you find your way
Lost in Darkness
Feeling cold and alone
When even a crowded room can be lonely for some

On My Own
04:29
|

Searching
Where are you
You are lost
It’s you I’m looking for
Whatever that might cost
I’m hurting
My thoughts in overdrive
It’s like a fire consuming me
When you go missing
From my life
I break down
I’m at the brink
There is a voice compelling me
No matter how I think
Fall down
Dropping like a stone
Into the void
You are lost
And I’m undone
There is no explanation
Not that I can find
When I get no answer
It’s like poison in my mind
The night is closing in
With shadows all around
They creep and float and frighten me
I’m fighting
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Searching
Trying to understand
When I don’t hear from you
My troubles have no end
You tell me
Tell me not to be concerned
There is no choice
My record’s stuck
Perhaps I’ll never learn
There is no explanation
Not that I can find
When I get no answer
It’s like poison in my mind
The night is closing in
With shadows all around
They creep and float and frighten me
I’m fighting
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
I’m on my own

Hey Yeah
03:58
|

|
Let’s party, let’s dance all night
Surfing our wildest dreams
Feel the pulse, how the rhythm grows
Taken where we’ve never been
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on dancing
We’ll dance with all we’ve got
We can do it, we can make the choice
Forever be as one
Dance so close and now we know
The dreaming has begun
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on dancing
We’ll dance with all we’ve got
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on moving
The beat that’s in your heart
Caught in a purple haze
Your passion fills the air
I love your pirouette
The wildness of your hair
We can dance, skip and jump
And know we cannot fall
Tango, twist and twirl
We never hit the wall
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on dancing
We’ll dance with all we’ve got
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on moving
The beat that’s in your heart
Let’s leave the world behind
Dance to a different band
playing your favourite song
We’re skipping hand in hand
Dancing, Kissing, laughing, singing
And hugging like we’re one
Feels like fireworks
The dreaming has begun
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on dancing
We’ll dance with all we’ve got
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on moving
The beat that’s in your heart
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on dancing
We’ll dance with all we’ve got
Hey Yeah (Hey Yeah)
It’s you I want
We’ll keep on moving
The beat that’s in your heart
(Hey Yeah)
(Hey Yeah)

You're Not There
04:04
|

Awake again
When I should be asleep
Your expectations I could never meet
Turning in my bed
Turn-over in my head
Wishing for the words you left unsaid
Alone again
Screaming in my mind
Complications that you left behind
I turn the page
Turn over what you said
Try to find some comfort but it don’t make sense
In the end
When I need you you’re not there
Aren’t you the one who’s supposed to care
It’s a strain
The promises you made
I can’t rely on a single thing you said
Yet again
Disapproval in your voice
I keep making the same wrong choice
I thought your love would be unconditional
You see me as too much trouble
In the end
When I need you you’re not there
Aren’t you the one who’s supposed to care
It’s a strain
The promises you made
I can’t rely on a single thing you said
What happened to your heart
Where do I go from here
When I should know by now your love was never real
In the end
When I need you you’re not there
Aren’t you the one who’s supposed to care
It’s a strain
The promises you made
I can’t rely on a single thing you say
Awake again
When I should be asleep
Your expectations I could never meet

The Choice
04:06
|
|||
|
I am standing at the doorway
Is it open
Is it closed
I can make the same choice every day
I will stay alone
No obligations I’m not troubled
I’ve got my ego and my pride
This door is slowly closing
I must decide
I know that it’s not right
Going down that same path every time
I’ve been so blind not to understand
She wants me at her side
I know that it’s a lie
When I look at myself
I think I’m doing fine
It’s finally time to say at last
I’ll be there for her
I will be there for her
I am gazing from a window
At a truth I can’t ignore
If I make the same choice every day
Life will be this cold
I know that it’s not right
Going down that same path every time
I’ve been so blind not to understand
She wants me at her side
I know that it’s a lie
When I look at myself
I think I’m doing fine
It’s finally time to say at last
I’ll be there for her
I will be there for her
I’ll gladly set aside
My ego and my pride
For the girl
She gives her heart to me
I know that it’s not right
Going down that same path every time
I’ve been so blind not to understand
She wants me at her side
I know that it’s a lie
When I look at myself
I think I’m doing fine
It’s finally time to say at last
I’ll be there for her
I’ll be there for her
I’ll be there for her
I’ll be there for her

This Bar

This bar
I come here often
The bartender knows my name
I’m not forgotten
This stool
Where I like sitting
They treat me like a king
I want for nothing
This Jukebox
Gets lots of action
My favourites are Cash, Dylan and Jackson
To see me through the night
I’d have a few drinks on the side
Shoot some pool, act the fool, we’d do some talkin’
But sometimes I just sit and think
I’d have me a few too many drinks
And I’d wonder about life and those lost lovers
This bar is the place I run for cover
When I walk into the bar I get a feeling
It feels like my family, friend and foe
I get a welcome every time
And the Guinness it’s sublime
A whiskey chaser and I’m on my way home crawling
But sometimes I just sit and think
I’d have me a few too many drinks
And I’d wonder about life and those lost lovers
This bar is the place I run for cover
Yes sometimes I just sit and think
For the road, I’d have me one more drink
And I’d wonder about life and those lost lovers
This bar is the place I run for cover
This bar is the place I run for cover

Don’t you know I miss those smiles
Curly locks and rusty hair

I danced with the dancing queen
She was everything to me
She made rainbows every day
I danced with the dancing queen
She was everything to me
She made rainbows every day
She made rainbows every day
She made rainbows every day
