Love Me

Love me if you can
Love me now and then
Love me if you want
Love me if you don't
Love me if you care
Love me if you dare
Love me from afar
Love me where you are
Take one step closer
One more step please
One small step closer
One more little step to me

Beautiful

One more day
One more night with you
We'll make it beautiful
One more rhyme
One more song for you
I'll make it beautiful
I love you
I never felt like this before
I love you
I wish I could but give you more
One more smile
Lights your charming face
I think it's beautiful
One more kiss
One more last embrace
We'll make it beautiful
I love you
There's nothing wrong to feel like this
I love you
A chance that we don't want to miss

Latin Streets

I love to walk these streets
Look up to washing lines
Like sketches in the skies
In the skies
And all these fragrances and sounds
And all these stories of love profound
The love I found
All around
Whenever fortune brings me back to you
Colourful spring or winter hue
You brighten up my blues
I paint a picture of your purple skies
Embellished with those lantern lights
Enchanting starry nights.
Oh let me take you there
Barrios, streets and squares
Let me take you there
Just you and me
Just me and you
And there will come a time
The time our feelings will have aged like ruby wine
Sweet and fine
Those old and curvy and narrow streets
Will bring back vivid memories -
Flamenco beat
Sultry heat.
The dancer’s gorgeous woven wavy dress
Breath-taking sounds of castanets
Gitanas sing their best.
Our hearts will stay forever linked to this
The magic moment of first kiss
Romantic sunny streets
Oh let me take you there
Barrios, streets and squares
Let me take you there
Just you and me
Just me and you
Take you there
Take you there
Just me and you

One day, I don't know when
But scientifically speaking it is highly likely
When we meet again
I'll have a crush on you
You'll have no clue
What you have to say
You'll even try to run away
But soon enough you've got to see
You've got to have a crush on me
One day, one lucky day
Our hormone levels fluctuate and regulate our choices
When we meet again
One day, one lucky day
I'll pour some chemistry for you
I'll share biology with you
And soon enough you've got to see
You've got to have a crush on
Me gotta have a crush on
You gotta have a crush on me

Too Soon

All alone again
What are you trying to prove
Make your move
Time to part
Let go, my heart
Who are you trying to fool
Play it cool
Off you go
Friend or foe
What are you trying to be
I set you free
We had our days
Happy in so many ways
Right on key
Constantly
But all too soon
You found a different tune
As the music flows
Don't we all transpose
But all too soon
All too soon
— Guitar Solo—
Take my hand
Again
Take me back to wonderland
Just once again
Don't know why
We say goodbye
Are we too proud to try
Just one more try
We had our days
Happy in so many ways
Right on key
Constantly
But all too soon
You found a different tune
As the music flows
Don't we all transpose
But all too soon
All too soon

How Do You Do

How do you do
I wandered past your house so many times
On the off chance that you’d see me
How do you do
It isn’t that I miss your loving crimes
But I’m counting times you kissed me
If only we could talk
Without tears being shed
If only we could walk
Without words being said
I fly around you
Trying not to get burned
Fire surrounds you
I guess I’ll never learn
We said goodbye but that will never satisfy
My hope, my dreams, my soul
How do you do
We’re opposites that never quite worked out
No matter how I wanted it to
How do you do
You're the perfect one who I can’t live without
I wish you’d think the same about me too
If only we could talk
Without tears being shed
If only we could walk
Without words being said
I fly around you
Trying not to get burned
Fire surrounds you
I guess I’ll never learn
We said goodbye but that will never satisfy
My hope, my dreams, my soul

I hear your voice
Like you’re still here
These empty rooms
My love
Morning comes near
You disappear
Out of my dreams
My love
I share with you
My joy and sorrow
I cannot help but think of you
If I could share tomorrow
I'd give it all to you
Enchanting lie
Till early morning
A lucent dream
With you
You come and go
Without a warning
I wish I'd stay
With you
I wish I'd share
My joy and sorrow
I cherish every glimpse of you
If I could share tomorrow
I'd give it all to you
-
In busy streets
Of million faces
I only see
Your face
In noisy crowds
Of million voices
I only hear
Your voice
I share with you
My joy and sorrow
I cherish every thought of you
If I could share tomorrow
I'd give it all to you
Quiet autumn rain
Plays me blues Coltrane
Shall we meet again
One day?
Miles comes next in style
I can see you smile
I can hear you say
One day…

Waltz Off

Different shades of blue
You paint me in dark hues
Leave me all alone
Turn off your telephone
Let music drown you out
Leave no shred of doubt
I hope you have fun with them
But you might not see me again
People change a thousand ways
And times, to keep in mind.
I will try to recognise
Who you were, who you are
Colder than an iceberg is your soul
But you need some self-control
Sharper than a knife
I cut you out of my life
Leave and don’t come back
I never look back
Made your choice long ago
Now it’s time to let go
People change a thousand ways
And times, to keep in mind.
I will try to recognise
Who you were, who you are

Taking It Easy
03:37
|
|

What can I do?
Can I count me plus you?
What do you see?
Can you count you plus me?
Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...
We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...
What can I do?
What if it is me minus you?
What do you see?
Is it you minus me?
Does it make any sense?
Tacit romance...
We are taking it easy
Taking it easy...

Different
05:02
|
|

Is it about the colour of my body?
Is it about the accent when I speak?
Is it because your god is not my God?
Is it because I called the weather bleak?
I try to find a reason,
So I don’t hate myself
I’m sorry I am different
I promise I will change
I’m sorry I am different
Please don’t find me strange
Is it about my birthplace or my story?
Is it about my fearless open mind?
Is it because you see yourself in my eyes?
Is it because my shame, you cannot find?
I try to find a reason,
So you don’t hate yourself
I’m proud, I am different
I will never change
I’m proud, I am different
I love that I am strange
People of the universe
You’re beautiful throughout
Tell your stories to the world
What we’re all about
I’m proud, I am different
I will never change
I’m proud, I am different
I love that I am strange
