swan song

this is my swan song,
whatever i do now, i do it well.

this is my swan song,
i fell in love with you, i love you well.

and if the Lord provides the music
for the world around to sing,
my love will build a castle in the air.

this is my last chance,
a chance to show the world that i am strong.

this is my last dance,
i'm walking off the floor where i belong.

open up your heart

mommy told me something
a little kid should know
it's all about the devil
and i've learned to hate him so
she said he causes trouble
when you let him in the room,
he will never ever leave you
if your heart is filled with gloom
so let the sun shine in
face it with a grin
smilers never lose
and frowners never win
so let the sun shine in
face it with a grin
open up your heart
and let the sun shine in

when you are unhappy
the devil wears a grin
but oh, he starts to running
when the light comes pouring in
i know he'll be unhappy
'cause i'll never wear a frown
maybe if we keep on smiling
he'll get tired of hanging 'round.

if i forget to say my prayers
the devil jumps with glee
but he feels so awful awful
when he sees me on my knees
so if you're full of trouble
and you never seem to win
just open up your heart
and let the sun shine in

so let the sun shine in
face it with a grin
smilers never lose
and frowners never win
so let the sun shine in
face it with a grin
open up your heart
and let the sun shine in
~ open up your heart ... frente

canorous for an undelible woman

i've been living with a shadow overhead,
i've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
i've been lonely for so long,
trapped in the past,
i just can't seem to move on!

i've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
just in case I ever need them again someday,
i've been setting aside time,
to clear a little space in the corners of my mind!

all i want to do is find a way back into love.
i can't make it through without a way back into love.
...

i've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
i've been searching but i just don't see the signs,
i know that it's out there,
there's got to be something for my soul somewhere!

i've been looking for someone to shed some light,
not somebody just to get me through the night,
i could use some direction,
and i'm open to your suggestions.

all i want to do is find a way back into love.
i can't make it through without a way back into love.
and if i open my heart again,
i guess i'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!
...

there are moments when i don't know if it's real
or if anybody feels the way i feel
i need inspiration
not just another negotiation

all i want to do is find a way back into love,
i can't make it through without a way back into love,
and if i open my heart to you,
i'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
and if you help me to start again,
you know that i'll be there for you in the end!

the windchimes sound like soft canorous whistle in my head,
i hold my breath... still in my bare look far away,
portrayed myself sitting quietly,
in a sylvan splendour and charming landscaped garden...
where is my indelible woman?
is she out there alone, safe and sound?

still, the windchimes answer in same soft canorous whistle....
