"This Charming Life"

"This Charming Life"



I wanna be with you all the time
Every day
Every night
You're my deja vu

It's sounds obsessive
But I think it's fine
When you're gone all I do is to think of you

I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

You know you came into the room alone
But when you left
Then I found that you took my heart
It sounds so corny yes I know it does
But truth is the shade that I choose to wear

I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you

This charming life

Every government must pass down a law
That says the sun has to always shine
That everybody gets the chance to say

I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

Every morning when I open my eyes
You're the first thing that I see
Lady luck she really took to me

Because
I live and love with you
This charming life

I live and love with you
This charming life

"Together In Words And Music"

"Together In Words And Music"



Baby, oh when I’m with you, yeah
A life is but a song
My soul concedes in a valley of song
And you are giving more than the day
Oh with you it’s always now
Love and life in words and music

When you speak the word love
It’s like echoes of love
Is real, I can feel what you say
Time will reveal the magic in words and music
Time can conceal the magic now

Now I know I am, now I know you are
We are in love together in words and music
Now I know I am, now I know you are
We are in love together in words and music

Baby, oh long was waiting for you
A love was but a word
When I spoke but I never can see
Till I took this road to you and the day
Oh with you it’s always now
Love and life in words and music

Now I know I am, now I know you are
We are in love together in words and music
Now I know I am, now I know you are
We are in love together in words and music

"Travel So Far"

"Travel So Far"



Travel so far
I've got to get myself back
Move so far from you
And you so true
Well let me get myself back
Never gonna wander again
Travel so far
Well let me get myself back

Was seeing the old moon
Walking past my door
He had freedom eyes
His home was the skies
And he beckoned me to his side
He said come let's, let's go
Freedom road
Just you and me
Bring the sun
If you feel
You need some warm company

Travel so far
Well let me get myself back
Move so close to you
And you're still true
It's good to have you smile back
Get back, get back, get back
I'll let you lead the way
I'm never going to wander again

Don't say
You stopped loving me
'Cos there by your side
Should be no one but me
Don't say
You stopped loving me
'Cos there by your side
I've travelled so far to be
Get back, get back, get back

Was feeling how your body moved
Watching the leaves blow in the trees
Then I thought of your touch
And that reminds me of your kiss
And I almost drove myself insane

Don't say
You stopped loving me
Thinkin up as I go
How you're gonna
Outshine sun and moon
Don't say
You stopped loving me
'Cos there by your side
Should be no one but me
Should be no one but me
Should be no one but me
Should be no one but me

"Trouble"

"Trouble"



You've lived your life
And how you survived
I'll never know
People talk of hardships
What do they know
What do they know
Of the strength you had to show

To stop yourself from crying out
To keep you head above the sand
Those times when you were in dispair
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight don't call again

Now there were times
When it seemed I didn't care
Don't misjdge my silence
You had my sympathy
I had sympathy
And I admired how you

Stopped yourself from crying
Kept your head above the sand
When trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again

And now the future's looking bright
You fought alone and won the fight
Kept your faith
When times were hard you made it through
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high

You stopped yourself from crying out
You kept your head above the sand
Those times when you were in despair
Trouble seemed your only friend
Somehow you kept your spirits high
You told him straight
Don't call again

"True Love"

"True Love"



I've seen it in your eyes
And I've heard it in your voice
The way you speak my name
Tells me there's no doubt
That the dream that i held on for
Will be everlasting

You know poverty
Can be romantic
In black and white
It looks like art
Just as long as we're together
I couldn't care less

We've got
Harmony and understanding
It's love for the first time
Like the morning sun that's breaking
Giving out that special light

True love
True love
We've got true love
True love

We've laid the right foundations
And we've built our love on trust
No one can tear the walls down
That surrounds us
We've got
Harmony and understanding
It's love for the first time
Like the morning sun that's breaking
Giving out that special light

True love
True love
We've got true love
True love

Now I'm certain of the future
We've got
Harmony and understanding
It's love for the first time
Like the morning sun that's breaking
Giving out that special light

True love
True love
We've got true love
True love

You can't buy a faithful heart
Or true love

"Turn Out The Light"

"Turn Out The Light"



Up and down
And all around
I've been looking for you
In and out
And all about
I've been reaching for you

I've got to tell you baby
Now my mind is made up
Things have looked bad
But now some years later
We still

Turn out the light
I'm gonna love you
Tonight

Many lover
Have come and gone
Some I miss
And some I don't
Some were handsome
But none were plain
My good fortune I suppose

I wanna tell you baby
Since I took up with you
I mostly think of love and
That means you

Let's turn out the light
I'm wanna hold you
So tight

"Visionary Mountains"

"Visionary Mountains"



Visionary mountains
Above and afar
Like answers to questions
On life
Love
And the longing to survive

Truth all distorted
Are words I create
Today the parting
Tonight
Tonight
At the peak of your

Visionary mountains
Above and afar
Like answers to questions
On life
Love
And the longing to survive

"Waiting"

"Waiting"



Eight o'clock I wake up
You didn't come to bed
I go downstairs
Try to keep my head together

At ten thirty
Look at my watch
I wonder darling

La
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

Twelve o'clock I'm really
Going out of my head
I've got ideas running round my brain
Can't go on this way

No work
Can't eat
And I do not really sleep

When I close my eyes
I hold identity parades
For the face that stole your heart

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

What time will you come back baby
Four a.m. I'll be here
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la

You're my candy God
How you sweet talk me
You're my fantasy

Six is not too early
To come back to me baby
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you baby
I'm waiting for you baby

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh

La la la
la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh

La la la
la la la la la

"Warm Love"

"Warm Love"



I want to beat off your advances
But know that you are winning
Water for your thirst
Your fuel
To burn
Let me be
Your night potion
Your one
Romeo
Let me feed that keen appetite

Warm love
Warm love
I'll give you
Kisses in the morning
Your starter for the night

I want to sit right down beside you
With one thought inside my head
Longing for love
Little darling
Love that won't give up
Let me be the reason
For lonely sleepless nights
Let me feed that keen appetite

Oh when I hold you in my arms
I am the victim
Oh when I hold you in my arms
I can feel you
I can feel you
Taking effect

Warm love
Good lasting love
I'll give you
Kisses in the morning
Your starter for the night

"Watch Your Step"

"Watch Your Step"



There are some things you can't hide
And I don't want to
I'll shout it out
I want the world to know

There's bound to be some envy
When they find out
That I'm with you
But I don't care 'bout that

Still I'm gonna watch my step
When I go walking out
I'm gonna look around

'Cos they'll be looking for me
you've got my man
High and low
Hunt to kill

That's why I'm gonna watch my step
When I go walking out
Yeah watch my step
When I go walking out

Oh
There's people all around
They try
They try to put us down
But I don't care
I don't care
I don't care what they say
And I don't care
I don't care
I don't care what they do
And I don't care
I don't care
I don't care what they say

Hey watch your step
When you go walking out
Watch your step
When you go walking out
I'm gonna look around
And watch out for them alley cats

Some things you can't hide
And I don't want to
I'll shout it out
I want the world to know

Yeah let them sweat
We're stepping out
Hey place your bets
We're gonna ride though rough sea out
Watch your step
When you go walking about
You better look around
Watch out for them alley cats

Watch your step
When you go walking out
Watch your step
When you go walking out
Watch your step
When you go walking out
You better look around

Watch out
Watch out
Watch out
Watch out for them alley cats
Watch your step
When you go walking out
Better look around

Watch your step
When you go walking out
Watch your step
When you go walking out
Watch your step
When you go walking out
Look around

Watch your step
Watch your step
Watch your step
