1 Kiss Kiss
I could run with the deer in Richmond Park,
Sit on top if Big Ben counting stars.
I could ride with the eagle, on his wing,
To the place where the nightingales sing.
But when you kiss me,
When you kiss me:
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that.
I could walk with my Indian tribe,
Pick white roses to wipe dry my eyes.
I could sail to a faraway sea
Watch the polar bears waving to me.
But when you kiss me,
When you kiss me:
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that
Nothing more precious than that.
Take me back to that night in July
Watch our lantern rise in the sky
Then you read from your beautiful book
Give the moon-starry box filled with love
And then you kiss me
Then you kiss me:
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that
Nothing more precious than that.
And then you kiss me
And then you kiss me
Wow!
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that
Nothing more precious than this,
No, nothing more special than this,
When you kiss me
Sit on top if Big Ben counting stars.
I could ride with the eagle, on his wing,
To the place where the nightingales sing.
But when you kiss me,
When you kiss me:
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that.
I could walk with my Indian tribe,
Pick white roses to wipe dry my eyes.
I could sail to a faraway sea
Watch the polar bears waving to me.
But when you kiss me,
When you kiss me:
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that
Nothing more precious than that.
Take me back to that night in July
Watch our lantern rise in the sky
Then you read from your beautiful book
Give the moon-starry box filled with love
And then you kiss me
Then you kiss me:
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that
Nothing more precious than that.
And then you kiss me
And then you kiss me
Wow!
Nothing is better than that
Nothing more special than that
Nothing more precious than this,
No, nothing more special than this,
When you kiss me
2 Sweet Columbine
You: it’s you I love.
You: my blue-eyed dove.
You: it’s you I love.
You: my darling love.
They can call you a fraud,
They can call you a fool.
Call you the names,
They called you at school.
Say you’re a dreamer,
But they’re no words of mine,
For you are my sweet columbine.
You’re as fair as the flower
As sweet as your name
Grown by my tribe
On the Colorado Range
Loved by the songbird
That’s why you are mine
For you are my sweet columbine.
You: it’s you I love.
You: my darling dove.
You, it’s you I love.
You, my blue-eyed love
You can build us a house
In that field by the stream
Just like the one I see in my dreams
With a garland of roses
Wild eglantine
And a carpet of sweet columbine
With a carpet of sweet columbine
You: it’s you I love.
You: my darling dove.
You: it’s you I love.
You: my blue-eyed love.
And now you are gone,
They know your true worth.
How you saved their girl,
Now you’re deep in the earth.
And ever since then,
I am bound to the church
By your grave filled with sweet columbine.
And soon I’ll be with you
Right by your side,
In the arms of my sweet columbine
You: my blue-eyed dove.
You: it’s you I love.
You: my darling love.
They can call you a fraud,
They can call you a fool.
Call you the names,
They called you at school.
Say you’re a dreamer,
But they’re no words of mine,
For you are my sweet columbine.
You’re as fair as the flower
As sweet as your name
Grown by my tribe
On the Colorado Range
Loved by the songbird
That’s why you are mine
For you are my sweet columbine.
You: it’s you I love.
You: my darling dove.
You, it’s you I love.
You, my blue-eyed love
You can build us a house
In that field by the stream
Just like the one I see in my dreams
With a garland of roses
Wild eglantine
And a carpet of sweet columbine
With a carpet of sweet columbine
You: it’s you I love.
You: my darling dove.
You: it’s you I love.
You: my blue-eyed love.
And now you are gone,
They know your true worth.
How you saved their girl,
Now you’re deep in the earth.
And ever since then,
I am bound to the church
By your grave filled with sweet columbine.
And soon I’ll be with you
Right by your side,
In the arms of my sweet columbine
3 Coldest Night of the Year
No one wondered where I was
No one wondered where I’d gone.
No one knew that I was lost
Cos no one knew that I had gone
A sickle-moon shines over me
It lights the path so you can see
Air so cold it cuts right through
It almost cuts my heart into
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Your secret sleeps inside of me
I’ll keep it safe ‘til you find me
My blood flows scarlet on the snow
My blood will show you where to go.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
You see my shadow in the hall
But I’m not really there at all.
Find my body, find my bones.
Find my heart and bring me
Home. Home.
Can you hear me, calling ?
On the coldest night of the year?
My blood flows, scarlet on the snow
A trail of ruby beads,
Leading you to me….
A trail of ruby tears
On the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
No one wondered where I’d gone.
No one knew that I was lost
Cos no one knew that I had gone
A sickle-moon shines over me
It lights the path so you can see
Air so cold it cuts right through
It almost cuts my heart into
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Your secret sleeps inside of me
I’ll keep it safe ‘til you find me
My blood flows scarlet on the snow
My blood will show you where to go.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
You see my shadow in the hall
But I’m not really there at all.
Find my body, find my bones.
Find my heart and bring me
Home. Home.
Can you hear me, calling ?
On the coldest night of the year?
My blood flows, scarlet on the snow
A trail of ruby beads,
Leading you to me….
A trail of ruby tears
On the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
Hear me, on the coldest night of the year.
4 Apples – The Long Goodbye
Apples fall on the orchard floor
We put them in the apple store
We dance and sing beneath the moon.
Pray that rain won’t come too soon.
They say good things come
To those who wait
But is it fortune?
Or is it fate?
Seasons come and seasons go.
We plant our seeds
And watch them grow.
Oh will my dearest wish be heard?
Set things back
The way they were.
They say good things come
To those who wait
But is it fortune?
Or is it fate?
My Mother slumps into her chair
Doesn’t even know I’m there
She’s dreaming of her youth again
Doesn’t even know my name.
They say good things come
To those who wait
But is it fortune?
Or is it fate?
Sometimes it’s hard,
Too hard to hesitate.
And it’s Love that helps me wait
And now I know the reason why
This is called
The long goodbye
We put them in the apple store
We dance and sing beneath the moon.
Pray that rain won’t come too soon.
They say good things come
To those who wait
But is it fortune?
Or is it fate?
Seasons come and seasons go.
We plant our seeds
And watch them grow.
Oh will my dearest wish be heard?
Set things back
The way they were.
They say good things come
To those who wait
But is it fortune?
Or is it fate?
My Mother slumps into her chair
Doesn’t even know I’m there
She’s dreaming of her youth again
Doesn’t even know my name.
They say good things come
To those who wait
But is it fortune?
Or is it fate?
Sometimes it’s hard,
Too hard to hesitate.
And it’s Love that helps me wait
And now I know the reason why
This is called
The long goodbye
5 Are We Angels
When I was lost and so low down,
I knew you were around
You found me.
And all those strangers you sent,
The things they did, the things they said,
Kept me smiling as I wept,
They saved me.
Were they angels,
Are we angels,
Maybe we are angels sometimes?
I wrote a song as a gift
For a girl I’d never met.
Didn’t know she had so little time.
Does she look down on the world?
See our hearts open up
Filling up with love divine.
Are we angels,
Are we angels,
Maybe we are angels sometimes?
Are we angels.
Are we angels,
Maybe we are angels sometime?
And I’m so glad I know you are mine.

7 Ancient Church
Here I am in this ancient church
I see a bird caught in the window.
We're both so eager to see the world.
Why don't I open the window?
And we can fly
We can fly!
To the place we want to be.
While I've been searching for love,
Love's been following me.
Flying through space
Is how blood flows to the heart:
It goes round and round and round
And ends up back at the start.
Here in this church I can clearly see
That what I wanted was right here with me
And I can fly
I can fly!
To the place I want to be.
And I can fly
To the place I want to be.
While I've been searching for love....
Love's been following me.
And I can fly

To the place I want to be.

Love's been right here with me,

8 Nothing To Me Without Love
So cold is my heart tonight
Has my heart gone for good?
All those mountains I climbed
My dreams,
Mean nothing to me
Without love.
So I talk to the Moon
And he sings me this song
How everything will pass
Then he shows me the seasons
Shows me my way.
Tells me I will be okay.
Oh give back my kiss for you
Give back that look in my eye
All those mountains I climbed
My dreams
Mean nothing to me
Without love
So I talk to my Heart
She beats a reply
Follow me you’ll be alright
Every step you take
You’re mean to take
Follow me, you’ll be okay.
Oh bring back my innocence
Bring back the strength in my step
All those mountains I’ve climbed,
My dreams
They mean nothing to me
Without love.
Cold lonely heart, will you ever mend?
Old lonely heart, will you ever mend?
I’ll never give up on you
Will we give up on us?
All those mountains I’ve climbed,
My dreams ,
They mean nothing to me
Without love
All those mountains I’ve climbed,
This view.
It means nothing to me
Without you.
Has my heart gone for good?
All those mountains I climbed
My dreams,
Mean nothing to me
Without love.
So I talk to the Moon
And he sings me this song
How everything will pass
Then he shows me the seasons
Shows me my way.
Tells me I will be okay.
Oh give back my kiss for you
Give back that look in my eye
All those mountains I climbed
My dreams
Mean nothing to me
Without love
So I talk to my Heart
She beats a reply
Follow me you’ll be alright
Every step you take
You’re mean to take
Follow me, you’ll be okay.
Oh bring back my innocence
Bring back the strength in my step
All those mountains I’ve climbed,
My dreams
They mean nothing to me
Without love.
Cold lonely heart, will you ever mend?
Old lonely heart, will you ever mend?
I’ll never give up on you
Will we give up on us?
All those mountains I’ve climbed,
My dreams ,
They mean nothing to me
Without love
All those mountains I’ve climbed,
This view.
It means nothing to me
Without you.
