Abschiedssouvenir
Als Erinnerung bleibt mir nur dein Abschiedssouvenir
Und ich trag’ es bei mir Tag und Nacht
Jedesmal immer dann wenn ich nicht mehr weiter kann
Sagt es: “deine Tränen geh’n vorbei”
Doch allein sein ist schwer und du fehlst mir so sehr
Ja mein Herz hat nur Sehnsucht nach dir, nach dir
Lass mich nie mehr allein lass mich lieb zu dir sein
Warum liegt neben mir nur dein Abschiedssouvenir
Komm zurück bleib mir treu schenk mir Liebe auf’s neu
Aber nie mehr ein Abschiedssouvenir
Alles hat seine Zeit, Liebesfreud und Liebesleid
Doch wie lange bin ich schon allein
Und wie oft hat die Nacht falsche Hoffnung mir gemacht
Ich seh’ die schönsten Bilder von uns zwei
Wie beim Film hinterher wird die Leinwand dann leer
Und mir bleibt nur die Sehnsucht nach dir, nach dir
Lass mich nie mehr allein lass mich lieb zu dir sein
Warum liegt neben mir nur dein Abschiedssouvenir
Komm zurück bleib mir treu schenk mir Liebe auf’s neu
Aber nie mehr ein Abschiedssouvenir
Aber nie mehr ein Abschiedssouvenir
Nein bitte nie mehr ein Abschiedssouvenir
A Perfect Love
Old enough to know when I’ve been wrong
Yes and fool enough to
Think I still might change
I’ve been out of place but right on
Time and still I’ve let you down
We’ve been lovers and we’ve fought
It would help me if I thought
You might remember me not for what I’ve done
But for the other things I’d
Always meant to do
‘Cause like a child who’s learned
The ways of life you opened up my eyes with
A love that’s always new
Yes I owe it all to you
‘Cause when the world outside was sure
That I was only chasing rainbows
You could find the words to
Say to make me strong
Holding on to me and whispering
“There’s nothing wrong with rainbows”
You heard my song
And so remember me as one who came to love
And found a perfect love to
Help along the way
And if tomorrow you should find that
I’m no longer by your side
Then it was time for me to go and
It would help me just to know
That you’d remember me as one
Who came to love and found a perfect love to
Help along the way
After All
I can hear the crying
You can go to sleep
I didn’t mean to hurt you
But this promise you can keep
After all is said and done
You’ll still be the only one
After all have come and gone
Years go by my love goes on
On until forever
We’ll still be together after all
Lying here beside you
All the tears are dry
You reach out and touch me
Love so deep, lost a heart
After all is said and done
You’ll still be the only one
After all have come and gone
Years go by our love goes on
After all your dreams come true
I’ll still be with you
You and me forever
We’ll still be together after all
After all is said and done
We’ll still be together
After all is said and done
You’ll still be the only one
After all have come and gone
Years go by our love goes on
After all your dreams come true
I’ll still be with you
Alleghenny
There are times I remember a valley
With it’s trees soaked by waterfall rain
From the mountains of high Alleghenny
Files an eagle way down into the grain
I see places where children were playin’
Till the sunset turned all silver lined
Everytime I’m alone my Aleghenny home
Callin’ me to the place I left behind
Alleghenny, Alleghenny, Alleghenny
Send your echo way up to the sky
Alleghenny, Alleghenny, Alleghenny
Call me back till the day I’d die
Where the shadows fall down from the hillside
I’ve been dreamin’ my daydreams away
May seasons have flown my Aleghenny home
Callin’ me to the place I left behind
Alleghenny, Alleghenny, Alleghenny
Send your echo way up to the sky
Alleghenny, Alleghenny, Alleghenny
Call me back till the day I’d die
Bad Boy
Hey you bad boy I’m not just a love toy
I’m not made to enjoy every time you want me to
I need love lad, try to understand that
I became a woman and it’s time you know
But this bad boy keeps on playing like before
Every minute of the day he’s asking more
And in the meantime there’s nothing I can do
I’m wasting my time, just being blue
So this bad boy put me out to put me down
And he did the same with every girl in town
Never hears a single word I say
But I just can’t stay away from another bad boys day
Hey you bad boy, look what you have destroyed
Life that I once enjoyed is falling down upon my head
Strange, I don’t feel the rain
There’s a cafe door open with a sweet refrain
Then I see you
Don’t laugh now, try to help me somehow
No one I could live for, if you go away
But this bad boy is still playing like before
Every minute of the day he’s asking more
And in the meantime there’s nothing I can do
Wasting my time just being blue
So this bad boy put me out to put me down
And he did the same with every girl in town
Never hears a single word I say
But I just can’t stay away from another bad boy’s day
Blue Lights in My Eyes
Never been so lonely
‘Cause I’ve been loved my way
Until I loved you only
Darling, I’m lonely every day
Blue lights in my eyes
Tears you won’t see, baby, baby
Blue lights in my eyes
Keep burning me
I don’t wanna cry
Too scared they might die
Before you turned my way
Blue lights in my eyes every day
You set my soul on fire
With a softly burning flame
But when the flame grew higher
Darling, look what I became
Blue lights in my eyes
Tears you won’t see, baby, baby
Blue lights in my eyes
Keep burning me
I don’t wanna cry
Too scared they might die
Before you turned my way
Blue lights in my eyes every day
Boulevard De La Madeleine
She said she’d come, she didn’t
I’m the one in love, she isn’t
There’s no girl standing there
And there’s no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
It’s a sad day in Paris
With no girl by my side
Got to feeling so badly
Like a part of me died it would have been
So good to see her i never thought
She wouldn’t be there
There’s no girl standing there
And there’s no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
Oh, I wish I knew her better
It’s not easy to forget her
There’s no girl standing there
And there’s no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
It’s a sad day in Paris
With no girl by my side
Got to feeling so badly
Like a part of me died it would have been
So good to see her i never thought
She wouldn’t be there
There’s no girl standing there
And there’s no one who cares
And the trees are so bare
On the Boulevard de la Madeleine
Cha Cha Me Baby
Cha cha me baby i’ll cha cha you
Just try to move on the way I do
Turn around easy it’s a lovely dance for two
Cha cha me baby i’ll cha cha you
Cha cha me baby that’s all I need
Just keep on dancing
Oh, I don’t mind the heat down over yonder
In the darkest avenue cha cha me baby

So if you like to join me
I’ll put on the tune cha cha me baby
Cha cha me baby cha cha me baby
Ugh, it’s gonna take me
Ugh, it’s gonna take me

Cha cha me baby that’s all I need
Just keep on dancing
Oh, I don’t mind the heat down over yonder
In the darkest avenue cha cha me baby
I’ll cha cha you
Chez Louis
When it was still fun to see the rising sun
Every minute was flying away
We woke up with the morning light
To watch the break of day
I don’t like seeing many daffodils
Awoke and flew up to the sky
We just enjoyed our happiness
And didn’t wonder why
I still remember deep down in September
The nights became empty and sad
As I looked for the sun darling you were gone
Leaving everything we ever had
Those were the nights with neon lights
Going off and on chez Louis
Second rate stars on electric guitars
Got their applause chez Louis
Lovers call let the tango ‘ball
Go ‘round and ‘round chez Louis
More cigarettes and no one gets
The time to be alone
Will I ever again see as much as I can
Or will I be carried away
Into a life of loneliness
And dreams of yesterday
Now he couldn’t leave her I wouldn’t
Believe her, but when I looked into my heart
I found a place of loneliness where dreams
Could never start
Those were the nights with neon lights
Going off and on chez Louis
Second rate stars on electric guitars
Got their applause chez Louis
Lovers call let the tango ‘ball
Go ‘round and ‘round chez Louis
More cigarettes and no one gets
The time to be alone
Take away the restless nights
When nobody’s really near
I’m longing for the summer nights
When you were here
Those were the nights with neon lights
Going off and on chez Louis
Second rate stars on electric guitars
Got their applause chez Louis
Lovers call let the tango ‘ball
Go round and round chez Louis
More cigarettes and no one gets
The time to be alone
Chicano
You don’t know what it’s like to live easy
You’re just pushed like a black rubber ball
There are days that you’re trying
To please me and may never get fun at all
You believe in the early sunrise
Be a part of American dream
Your siesta begins at midnight
But live once you’ve never been
Hey Chico get back to Rico
Where you play your guitar every day
Tell me cheat, I’ll be waiting still
In Magdalena Bay
Chicano, you’re lost for a while
Chicano, you’re lost for a while
‘Cause when seven days and seven nights
Take away your style
Chicano your lost for a while
Chicano your lost for a while
It’s a dead end street your going through
Blue has turned to grey
Chicano you can’t stay
You are watching revelry much longer
And if someone reminds you of home
You’ll be eating your taco stronger
And your friends they did leave you alone
Hey Chico get back to Rico
Where you play your guitar every day
Tell me cheat, I’ll be waiting still
In Magdalena Bay
Chicano, you’re lost for a while
Chicano, you’re lost for a while
‘Cause when seven days and seven nights
Take away your style
Chicano, you’re lost for a while
Chicano, you’re lost for a while
It’s a dead end street your going through
Blue has turned to grey
Chicano you can’t stay
Closer To You
Closer to you I found love I didn’t know
Closer to you it took time so I could grow
You say each life is a reason to be with
Someone who keeps asking never loved at all
Closer to you takes another way to feel
Closer to you playing apart becomes unreal
‘Cause you know loving, oh the loving
Closer to your loving i have to be near
Closer to you every emptiness is gone
Closer to you there’s a place where I belong
You say each other made to be a lover
No-one’s ever meant for anyone to hold
Closer to you every moment has a start
Closer to you I have learned to be apart
‘Cause you know loving, oh the loving
Closer to your loving i have to be near
Cross The Sea
Cross the sea, stars are leading me
In my dreams, to a land of fantasy
When the night falls into town
I walk the streets
Every corner tells it’s tale
Guard the street but no ones there
I feel the heat every moment is for sale
I turn around and face the wind
Nothing to lose nothing to win
Cross the sea, stars are leading me
In my dreams to a land of fantasy
To a dream inside of me
To a place where I feel free
When the day breaks into town
I feel the beat of a life from nine to five
Every minute passes by
It seems to me there’s no time to feel alive
I close my eyes and start the day
I spread my arms and fly away
Cross the sea, stars are leading me
In my dreams to a land of fantasy
Cross the sea, stars are leading me
In my dreams to a land of fantasy
Cross the sea, stars are leading me
In my dreams to a land of fantasy
