Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on a drum
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Beautiful boy elegant girl
dancing for joy beautiful whirl

Слова песни Better Days (Song Lyrics)
Silver gray hair
Neatly combed in place
There were four generations
Of love on her face
She was so wise
No surprise passed her eyes
She's seen it all

Sweet Indian warrior
Since first I met you
I can't forget you
Cherokee sweetheart
Child of the prairie
Your love keeps calling
My heart enthralling
Ooh Cherokee

I am an endangered species
But I sing no victim’s song
I am a woman I am an artist
And I know where my voice belongs

I am a woman I exist
I shake my fist but not my hips
My skin is dark my body is strong

I used to have a perfect sweetheart
Not a real one, just a dream
A wonderful vision of us as a team
Can you imagine how I feel now
Love is real now, it's ideal
You're just what I wanted
And now it's nice to live
Paradise to live

Look at him standing there
All alone in the room
It's getting late where's his date
Could it be he came alone
Elegant, confident, bad as can be
If only I could figure why I'm having so much trouble saying

Hello haven't I seen you before

I remember the sounds from the hall
And the books on the shelf
I remember them all
I remember the clock on the desk
And the chair and the rug
And all of the rest
Like the venetian blinds
Drawn shut

I remember sky
It was blue as ink
Or at least I think
I remember sky

I remember snow
Soft as feathers
Sharp as thumb tacks

Don't You know that I'm all smiles, darling
You'd be too
If you knew, darling
All of my smiles were for you
I'm all chills, darling
Through and through
But my cold hands, darling
Warm to the touch of you

Winters of my life
They've been around so long
It's been so cold inside
But then again I know
I'm all right
I'm okay
Many roads, many wrong turns
No matter where I went

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy"
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you

But it was just my imagination,
Running away with me
It was just my imagination,

Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
Your smile is soft and drowsy
As you let it play upon your face
Oh how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me, my love

I never have been handed much
I never have demanded much
I just want money, a nice position and loads of lovely love
I never have expected much
I never have rejected much
I want my dinner, some smart conversation and loads of lovely love

Some people go for quantity

Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
Love that's only slightly soiled
Love for sale

Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?

Lullaby of birdland
that's what i always hear when you sigh
never in my worldland coul'd there be words to reveal
in a phrase how i feel

have you ever heart two turtle doves
bill and coo when they love
that's the kind of magic music will get from my lips

Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
Warmer than a summer night
But clouds were like a alabaster palace
Rising to a snowing height
Each star its own aura borealis
Suddenly you held me tight
And I could see the midnight sun

It ain't too late
No, It ain't too late
To change your life
Cause everyday is a miracle
A chance to make it right
You complain constantly
'Bout your life your misery
On sunny days you need rain

I remember nine
As if it were yesterday
I can hear my friends outside of my window
Say, "Can you come out and play?"
Anna brought a bag of her mama's cooking spoons
So we could dig a big hole, to try to reach China
And get there by early noon

You know i never really see who you are
It seems i never really can understand
Just when i think that you're gone
I feel you take a-hold of my hand
You're like the wind that blows in front of a storm
The electricity explodes in the night
Now it's already too late
To decide if it's wrong or it's right

I see them smile through faces of people I don't know
I hear them in the music on my radio
Wisdom of the winds
Faces in the clouds
Rhythm of the rains
Old mountains standing proud

They prepare me for a special place

As I'm reflecting back on my life
It's like a dream
Things are not quiet what they seem
There's always something missing, something unseen but indeed remembered
I think a pass I might have taken lives I'd have changed
Some living living souls rearranged and I'm amazed how tender feelings can be
In looking back we just peek through the cracks between what's real and false
In this eternal waltz meanwhile we just keep dancing

You could smile away the storm clouds
Even fill an empty space
And it feels just like sunshine baby
When that smile lights up your face
I'm so glad we're together

I can't dream of a better place
That I'd rather be

I been to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that's all
Lately I thought all about you
So I thought I'd pay a social call

Do you recall the old days
We use to have a ball
Not that I'm lonesome without you

Some other spring
I'll try to love
Now I still cling
To faded blossoms
Fresh when worn
Left crushed and torn
Like the love affair I mourn
Some other spring

In the morning when I wake I'm so thankful for another day
And I wanna testify
Got a job a roof overhead don't live fancy but my family's fed
I wanna testify
Got my strength and I got my health you can't buy that with fame or wealth And
I just wanna testify
I get overwhelmed with thankfulness for things I have received
More than fame or wealth I feel the spirit inside movin' me

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I never meant the things I said
To make you cry can I say I'm sorry
It's hard to forget and yes I regret
All these mistakes

I don't know why you're leaving me
But I know you must have your reasons
There's tears in your eyes I watch as you cry

No tears
No fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again

Your kiss
Your smile
