Prelude
Lyrics by Ryan Hunt

So, for now lie still

Let dreams fulfill

Seek joy

Find peace

Let pain ever cease

For when the winter comes, so comes the cold

And one day when you wake you’ll find that you're old

So live

Forgive

For I too must die when the kiss of death takes every breath

And draws the soul to the sky

So sighs, so still the heart

 

 

Please Stay
Lyrics by Ryan Hunt

 

Little ones have tried to make me realize

That Spring is on the way

And hope might come today

The flowers in my mind have turned to blue

Through my windowpane, all I see is you

The older ones have said; "It's you're time, my child.

Time to start again and find another friend"

But, the part of me that's lost inside of you

Won't let go of me

All that I can see

 

Are the raindrops falling faster and my heart's a pool

From too many tears that have fallen

From the eyes of a fool

A fool who tried to count the ways

A fool who cherished every day

A fool who never found the words to say

I love you, forgive me, please stay

 

Remember when you used to hold my hand and smile

We'd laugh when we were mad

And cry when time were bad

And now it seems the blind don't always see

For I'v given up what God had given me

For what it's worth I thought I heard your voice tonight

It rings inside my head, the words you always said;

"My heart is yours forever, it will be"

But I'm all alone

And you hold the key

 

For the raindrops falling faster and my heart's a pool

From too many tears that have fallen

From the eyes of a fool

A fool who tried to count the ways

A fool who cherished every day

A fool who never found the words to say

I love you, forgive me, please stay

 

 

Time and Tide

Lyrics by Basia Trzetrzelewska and Danny White

 

It's hard for me to stop my heart
love never knows when the time is right
I don't want to hurt anybody

but can't help loving you
I never felt like this before
I know this is passion
worth waiting for
let love take take its course
that's the only thing for us to do

We got time, oh baby,
there's no rush
gonna be a better day for us
hang on and I will wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new

Time and tide
nothing and no one can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure it's gonna last

How can I stop my heart?
Love never knows
when the time is right
don't want to hurt anybody
don't want to make them cry
don't want to make them cry

We got time, oh baby,
there's no rush
gonna be a better day for us
hang on and I will wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new


It's a matter of time
only a matter of...
Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last
gonna last forever

 


 

Eyes of Mercy

Lyrics by Julie Flanders and Emil Adler

 

Hush, close your eyes
And I'll keep you safe
Allow you to weep
And sing you to sleep

Don't be afraid
Remember I'm here
The noise in the street will soon disappear

When the soft face of mercy
Is lost behind a veil
I will stay with eyes open
Stay here with eyes open
To watch over you
And take away the sadness and the fear

Hide in my arms
And dream golden dreams
Forgetting the world
Of men and machines

When the soft eyes of mercy
Are blinded by the dark
I will stay with eyes open
Stay here with eyes open
To watch over you
And take away the sadness and the fear

I'll be here

 


Meditation

Lyrics by Ryan Hunt

 

Once, my love had surrounded

And, once, my heart was the breath of you

Moonlight swelled and bent

Fortune smiled its mighty hand

But pain came as darkness went

Now each day is a memory

And now each night is a question of why

Your spirit is lost somewhere in the sky

A reason to cross, a reason to die

Let me die

Simply knowing you was reason to try

 

Love was what you were to me

Whisper of life trapped in eternity

Your light still shines through oceans of time

Comfort my God yet wandering shadows set

I weep, I weep to be at rest

 

Once, my love had surrounded

And, once, my heart was the breath of you

Moonlight swelled and bent

Fortune smiled its mighty hand

But pain came as darkness went

Years have passed since the fated took your hand

But once and again, here I am

Waiting, watching, loving you

Waiting, watching, loving you

 

 

Always There

Lyrics by Ryan Hunt

 

I want so many things to be the way you want them

So I’ve changed a few, but changed them into problems

Like the way I say Hello, the way I wave goodbye

I wonder if you wonder, “Is life just passing by?”

 

Can you hear my heartbeat, beating like a drum

Brushing out the sky, leaving me undone

If you want to listen, if you want to see

It’s all on the inside longing to be free

Free enough to hold you, free enough to share

So for now, I’ll be the one who’s always there

 

It’s been a while, and I’ve had so much time to talk to

I’ve tried to let it go, but it comes back to you

Like the way you say Hello, the way you wave goodbye

No one in this life could ever love you more than I

 

Can’t you listen? Can’t you see?

You’re my All in All

And you’re everything to me

 

My heart keeps Beating, Beating, Beating like a drum

Brushing out the sky, blazing like the sun

Now that you can listen, now that you can see

It’s all on the outside, I am finally free

Free enough to hold you, free enough to share

Forever I will be the one who’s always there

 

Forever I will be the one who’s always there

 

 

Take Me Back

Lyrics by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell

 

Take me back to the place
Where I once belonged
This could be anyplace
A place where you and I could sing this song
Take me back where I hear waterfalls flowing

Let me dive into the Lake
Where winter hides the show
Then comes the summertime
Fields of scarlet poppies grow
Take me back where I see butterflies toing froing

And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything
I'd rather fall into you

Let me sleep a little while
Underneath the trees
And dream of dragonflies
Where the weary willow weeps for me
Take me back where I see dandelions blowing

And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

And the river flows
I am never gonna get it back again
And the river flows
I am never gonna take it back again

We don't know anything
Trapped in a world full of strangers
Please don't tell me anything
I'd rather fall into you

 

 

I Found You

Lyrics by Scott Ailing

 

I remember skies so dark and gray

Before I found you

Love was just a dream I had one day

Before I found you

I could see your face deep in my mind

But you seemed impossible to find

My imagination is not blind

Because I found you

 

And now, my skies are blue and clear above

For you have turned the dream I had to love

I believe that miracles are possible and true

Because I found you

 

I could search the world and never find

Another like you

For my soul with yours is intertwined

You’re beautiful and true

You’re not just my Love; you’re my best friend

Until now I could not comprehend

That a love like ours will never end

Because I found you

 

Life is so different with you by my side

You gave my soul wings to fly

 

And now, my skies are blue and clear above

For you have turned the dream I had to love

I believe that miracles are possible and true

Because I found you

 

I believe that miracles are possible and true

Because I found you

 

 

Sailing Home

Lyrics by Ryan Hunt

 

Many songs have been heard

And I’m Sailing, sailing, sailing home

So for mine, these few words

As I’m Sailing, sailing, sailing home

 

And Oh, How I’ve loved

Running through fields and then lying still in the grass

And oh, how you’d laugh

With spring in your hair, but fall at your back

Looking back, ‘twasn’t long

Before the leaves blew away

Then you were gone

 

Weathering the stormy seas

Listening to an evening breeze

Whispering inside of me

Days gone by and memories

 

And oh what will become

After the course on the ocean is run

But oh, my heart doth smile

For it knows the rest

And ponders awhile

 

With these words

My song is through

And I’m Sailing, sailing, sailing home

Not a tear, nary two

For I’m Sailing, sailing, home to you

 


Nessun Dorma

Lyrics by Giaccomo Puccini

 

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa,
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore
E di speranza.

Ma il mio mistero é chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà!

Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia!

Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò, vincerò!
Vincerò!

 

 

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Lyrics by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
 

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
