The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taking
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose

The Prayer

Oh, Dio che tutto sai, ricordati di noi
Insegnaci la via, che a te ci condurrà
Se ti giungerà, questa mia preghiera
Tu l’ascolterai e ci salverai
I tuoi figli siamo noi
La luce che tu dai
(I pray you’ll be my light)
Nel cuore resterà
(And watch us where we go)
E ricordarci che
(And help us to be wise)
Eterna stella sei
(Let this be our prayer)
Nella mia preghiera
(Greater full of faith)
Quanta fede c’è
Se ci guiderai, tu ci salverai
Gli occhi nostri sono i tuoi
Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Un nuovo dio d’amore su ogni terra
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità
La forza che ci dà
Ognuno trovi amor
Intorno e dentro sé
Questa mia preghiera, rivolgiamo a te
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salverà

The Model

She’s a model and she’s looking good
I’d like to take her home, that’s understood
She plays hard to get, she smiles from time to time
It only takes a camera to change her mind

[Verse 2]
She’s going out to nightclubs, drinking just champagne
And she has been checking nearly all the men
She’s playing her game and you can hear them say
She is looking good, for beauty we will pay

[Verse 3]
She’s posing for consumer products now and then
For every camera, she gives the best she can
I saw her on the cover of a magazine
Now she’s a big success, I want to meet her again

Thank God it’s Christmas

Tango in the Night

Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won’t come
Just as I begin to fade
Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango
I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream
Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango

Simply The Best

I call you, I need you, my heart’s on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wired
Ooh, you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
Mm, and it can’t be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong, babe
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart, I see the start of every night and every day
In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away
Just as long as I’m here in your arms
I could be in no better place
You’re simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart? No, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me, I start losing control
You’re walking away with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I’m alone
Oh, baby, don’t let go
Oh, you’re the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart? No, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Ooh, you’re the best
