This is the moment I’ve been waiting for all my life
To open my heart and show you I’ve nothing to hide
You see the best in me and I owe it all to you

Take a look at me now
Living out my dreams now
Sure as I am standing here tonight
Make this last forever
You and me together
Living all our dreams out loud tonight

All from a spark to a flicker that burst into flame
Now the amber of hope and this moment are one in the same
Some call it destiny shining this light on me

Take a look at me now
Living out my dreams now
Sure as I am standing here tonight
Make this last forever
You and me together
Living all our dreams out loud tonight

You don’t have to close your eyes to dream
All I see is right in front of me

Take a look at me now
Living out my dreams now
Sure as I am standing here tonight
Make this Iast forever
You and me together

Living all our dreams out loud tonight

Another night of falling rain
Your memory flickers like a flame
It echoes like a distant tune
Dances on the four walls of my room

With hair as black as a book of prayer
Your laughter filled the morning air
Now it doesn’t seem so long ago
But how we ever parted, I don’t know

Where are you now? So far away
If only some how the night would disappear
And I could have you here
There’s a breeze on the water

Blowing time back to me
I can still see your face
Kissing Rain
We wandered through a hundred days

And watched the stars on Half-Moon Bay
Then like a season you were gone
You left me on a frozen April dawn
You were the storm-in my sky

If only once more I could be so free
Feel you washing over me
There’s a breeze on the water
Blowing time back to me

I can still see your face
Kissing Rain
There’s a long cool river
Running wild to the sea

And I am calling your name
Kissing Rain
I’m a prisoner of time
And I’m chained to memories

How can you be so free
There’s a breeze
There is a long cool river
Running wild to the sea

And I am calling your name
Kissing Rain
There’s a breeze on the water
(Daughter of the thunder)

Blowing time back to me
(Your face turned towards the sky)
I can still see your face
(Standing high on a hillside babe)

Kissing Rain
There’s a long cool river
(I’m a prisoner of time)
Running wild to the sea

(I am chained to memories)
And I am calling your name
(Calling your name calling your name)

A paper wrapped round a lamppost
At Bleecker and MacDougal where Kerouac stood
The wind pushed us into a doorway
And it felt good, it felt good
Time didn’t pass it scattered
I put one more on the tab
We flagged a ride at closing time
And the laughs turned into kisses in the back of the cab
And it felt good
St. Annie you blessed my bed
Your sweet love was my daily bread
You’d come to me when the moon would rise
Sweet St. Annie of the wild blue eyes
The days flew by like pages
On those rain-soaked streets where Gainsberg wrote
We made love in the mornings
Where did that go, where did they go?
You were my ragtag savior
And I was your hopeless case
We made are way through the bars and cafes
And I memorized your heavenly face
Where did you go?
St. Annie you blessed my bed
Your sweet love was my daily bread
You’d come to me when the moon would rise
Sweet St. Annie of the wild blue eyes
I knew we couldn’t last together
But I’ll picture your blue eyes for ever..
Sweet , Sweet Annie
Your love was all I had
And your wild blue eyes..
Sweet St. Annie of the wild blue eyes…
St. Annie you blessed my bed
Your sweet love was my daily bread
You’d come to me when the moon would rise
Sweet St. Annie of the wild blue eyes
St. Annie you blessed my bed
Your sweet love was my daily bread
You’d come to me when the moon would rise
Sweet St. Annie of the wild blue eyes…

In her world of fantasy
Wanting to fill her heart’s desires
She has travelled in her dreams
To places she hopes to find
But you have all the answers
In simple words that say I love you

Shed a light on her life
Tell her you will be there
Show her you really care
Love her with all your might
Hold her close while you can
Tell her you’ll be her man

Cast away your childish dreams
Cause a love like hers is hard to find
Promise her you’ll nerver leave
Let her know you’re not that behind
And you will mend pieces
Whenever she’s broken hearted

Shed a light on her life
Tell her you will be there
Show her you really care
Love her with all your might
Hold her close while you can
Tell her you’ll be her man
Shed a light on her life
Tell her you will be there
Tell her you really care …
Baby me loving you
Baby me loving you
Baby you loving me …

Shed a light on her life
Tell her you will be there
Show her you really care
Love her with all your might
Hold her close while you can
Tell her you’ll be her man
Shed a light on her life
Tell her you will be there
Show her you really care
Love her with all your might
Hold her close while you can
Tell her you’ll be her man
Tell her you will be her man …

With these eyes
I’ve held you in my arms
Your love was all I had
But You had to end it all
With these eyes
I’ve stood out in the rain
I’ve listened for your call
That never came at all

With these eyes
You’re everything to me
Without your love
I’ll wind up down upon my knees
With these eyes
I’ve learned from my mistake
That a sad song doesn’t care
Whose heart it breaks

With these eyes
I’m feeling out of touch
I’ve waited patiently
For you whose love
I need so much
With these eyes
I’ve watched you turn away
With nothing left to give
And nothing more to stay

With these eyes
You’re everything to me
Without your love
I’ll wind up down upon my knees
With these eyes
I’ve learned from my mistake
That a sad song doesn’t care
Whose heart it breaks

And though my love for you runs so deep
It doesn’t mean that you and I
Are sharing the same dream if only
I could listen to your words
And not my heart
You’re tryin’ to spare my feelings
But you’re tearing me apart

With these eyes
You’re everything to me
Without your love
I’ll wind up down upon my knees
With these eyes
I’ve learned from my mistake
That a sad song doesn’t care
Whose heart it breaks

Hey ! Would you believe it
If I told you that
I know what it’s like
from behind your eyes
A pile of broken pieces
That fell from your heart
Is gathered around you staring
And there’s no escaping
But everything’s changing
Under the sun
What’s done is done

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
No matter how hard it seems
Hold on to your dreams
Don’t give up
Whatever you do
(Remember) there’s so much love
And there’s so much still to come

Hey! Would you believe it
If I told you
I know how it feels
From where you stand
The days that you wasted
On tables that turned
You thought you might learn in time
Not to get burned
But everything changes
Under the sun
So run bay run

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
No matter how hard it seems
Hold on to your dreams
Don’t give up
Whatever you do
Remember there’s so much love
And there’s so much still to come
It never gets done
It’s run baby run
Yeah!

So, don’t give up
So, don’t give up
So, don’t give up …

Don’t give up
No matter how hard it seems
Hold on to your dreams
Don’t give up
Whatever you do
Remember there’s so much love
And there’s so much still to come

Don’t give up
No matter how hard it seems
Hold on to your dreams
Don’t give up
Whatever you do
Remember there’s so much love
And there’s so much still to come
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up

2 o’clock in the morning
God I’m still awake
Thunder rolls like I’m wounded
My hearts about to brake

Lying here beside you
Where love used to be

Deliver me
Deliver me
I’m losing ground
You’re the only one can’t you see
Deliver me
’cause I hear the sound
Of your voice and I feel whole again, babe
Please deliver me

I never could understand it
Why something so strong
As hard as you try to hold it
Can turn out so wrong

Lying here beside you
Down on my knees

Deliver me
Deliver me
I’m losing ground
You’re the only one can’t you see
Deliver me
’cause I hear the sound
Of your voice and I feel whole again, babe
Please deliver me

From the words we should have said
Deliver me
From the shadows in my head
Baby please
Deliver me
Deliver me

Deliver me
Deliver me
I’m losing ground
You’re the only one can’t you see
Deliver me
’cause I hear the sound
Of your voice and I know you’ll deliver me

Deliver me
’cause I hear the sound
Of your voice and I feel whole again babe
So baby take me home again
Or set me free
Deliver me
Deliver me
I’m down on my knees

Sometimes it’s so hard to explain
What our hearts conceal.
I would just get lost in between
The things I feel.
Now all I want to do for you
Is to rectify. (Rectify)

[Chorus]
All I meant to say
Every night and day
You set my heart on fire.
You’re the air I breathe.
You’re the rarity.
Takin’ me higher.

And then you’ll never know.

All I meant to do for you, my love
Is turn the world around
All I meant to do for you, my love.
My hands were tied down.
If I ever failed you, Angel,
Won’t you let me try? (Rectify)

[Chorus: x2]

And then you’ll never know.

(Sometimes it’s so hard to explain.)
If I ever failed you, Angel,
Won’t you let me try?

[Chorus: x2]

And then you’ll never know.

I’ve been dreaming
That my life was gonna change
And I’ve been thinking
Of the way to beat the strange
Cause the demons stop and stare
And I see them eveywhere
Everywhere

I’ve been craving
For the sun to soak my face
Forgetting
All those old familiar places
But I find it sometimes
Hard to wish upon a star
I don’t need a haunted heart

Life’s a beach
If you wanna live it up
Life’s a beach
If you don’t let it
Take you down
Life’s a beach
I want my feet in the sand
I just hope you understand

I’ve been praying
For a better human race
But I’ve been broken
Trying to fix this place
So like a surfer on a wave
I will try to find my space
In the middle of this phase

Life’s a beach
If you wanna live it up
Life’s a beach
If you don’t let it
Take you down
Life’s a beach
I want my feet in the sand
I just hope you understand
I can be a better man
If only I could make a stand

Life’s a beach
If you wanna live it up
Life’s a beach
If you don’t let it
Take you down
Life’s a beach
I want my feet in the sand
I just hope you understand

Life’s a beach
If you wanna live it up
Life’s a beach
If you don’t let it
Take you down
Life’s a beach
I want my feet in the sand
I just hope you understand

For Mary-Jane
Most every night
I played
The same old song
That lingered on for days
For Mary-Ann
Her friends all gone
I Stayed And through the night
I held her tight and prayed

Am I wrong
‘Cause I didn’t have the strength to carry on
‘Cause I never looked behind me, I was gone
And all that I could do
Was write their song
Am I right
To share a part of them into the light
For telling you and standing here in white
My memories are haunting me tonight

For Mary-Line
For weeks on end I tried
To fold my world
And keep her pearl inside
For Mary-Lou I caught the moon
Last night She never came
But who’s to blame I lied

Am I wrong
‘Cause I didn’t have the strength to carry on
‘Cause I never looked behind me, I was gone
And all that I could do
Was write their song
Am I right
To share a part of them into the light
For telling you and standing here in white
My memories are haunting me tonight
Am I right
To share a part of them into the light
For telling you and standing right here
Tonight

I didn’t want to have to make you cry
I didn’t want to say goodbye
I couldn’t bare to face the truth
But I was me and you were you
I didn’t want to have to let you down
I didn’t want to hang around
Pretending we would make it through
Cause you lost me and I lost you

Chorus:
I’m by myself
My heart is shaken
Was I mistaken
By leaving today
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I’m slowly breaking away

I didn’t want to have to start and then
I didn’t want to face the end
I didn’t want to hold the pain
I can’t afford to feel again
But this is where I’m in my life
And I know somehow I’ll get by
I didn’t want to feel the cold
But Babe, I have to let you go

Chorus

Forgive me if I’ve never
Got to say I’m sorry
Forgive me girl
Cause I won’t be around

I’m by myself
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I’m slowly breaking away

Chorus

Well I’ve been some places
And seen lots of faces
facing towards the distant light
Now I hear people laughing
And see people smiling
All over the news tonight
Oh I see new generations
Bringing new vibrations
They’re skilled and they do things right
I see you and me
Loving to be free
So come along and make things bright

Chorus:
Me all I’ve got
It’s just a little singing now
If you wanna be part of it
Just hold your hands and
shout out loud
shout out loud

So we followed the traces
And we filled upi the places
Looking for a better sight
Now we see strong bonding action
Tween people of the nations
No matter if they’re black, red or white
And we see people trying
Giving all their loving
Giving everything they’ve got
And there’s you and me
Loving desperately
Open up your heart
And let’s see some light

Chorus:
Me all I’ve got
It’s just a little singing now
If you wanna be part of it
Just hold your hands and
shout out loud
shout out loud

You say no way
Well just look around
Can’t you see that love
Can bring us around

Chorus:
Me all I’ve got
It’s just a little singing now
If you wanna be part of it
Just hold your hands and
shout out loud
shout out loud

Shout out loud
Shout out loud
No more tears
No more tears
Shout out loud
No more cries
Shout out loud
No more cries
No more cries
Shout out loud

One day love won’t hide its face
One day we’ll wake up in a world of grace
One flame burns in me tonight
To see you your beauty washed in morning light

I hear the voices saying this will never be
Please don’t give up on me

Time will find a way
And love will come to stay
We’ll fly across these walls
And all our fears will fall (away)
Time will find a cure
When hope’s an open door
Know that I believe
You’ll be here with me one day

I’m watching the evenings tumble down
I’m waiting dancing with my shadow now
One thought can fill a thousand prayers
(That) one day time will stop and you’ll be there

I hear the voices saying this will not come true
But I won’t give up on you

Time will find a way
And love will come to stay
We’ll fly across these walls
And all our fears will fall (away)
Time will find a cure
When hope’s an open door

Know that I believe
You’ll be here with me one day

Oh where the searchlight shines
Across the northern sky

Oh my destiny is you
Time will find a way
And love will come to stay
We’ll fly across these walls
And all our fears will fall (away)
Time will find a cure
When hope’s an open door
Know that I believe
You’ll be here with me one day

You and I have followed the trace
Laid by the people of faith and pride
With hungry eyes

You and I could conquer the stars if we tried
Or simply live by simpler vows
And let the storm go by

You and I have written the book line by line
And the few things that took to survive
Was your loving heart and mine

Should you go remember these words
As they show just how much I care
Don’t you know? I’ll always be there

I’ll always be there
There when the world and its promise is failing
I’ll always be there
There when the frost of its winter is cursing

I’ll always be there
There when tears in you eyes
Keep asking me
I’ll always be there

You and I will follow the trace
Laid by people of faith and pride
With angry eyes gone blind

You and I will show them the light
We live by so never again will they try
To keep us apart

I’ll always be there
There when the world and its promise is failing
I’ll always be there
There when the frost of its winter is cursing

I’ll always be there
There when tears in you eyes
Keep on asking me why

I’ll always be there
There when the world and its promise is failing
I’ll always be there
There when tears in you eyes
Keep on asking me why, asking me why

I’ll always be there
There when the frost of its winter is cursing
I’ll always be there
There when your loving is such
You keep burning alive

I’ll always be there
I’ll always be there

I’ll always be there
I’ll always be there

Sometimes I feel like I don’t have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets, ’cause she’s my companion
I walk through her hills, ’cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds, and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie

And I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah

It’s hard to believe that there’s nobody out there
It’s hard to believe that I’m all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

Well, I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Well, I don’t ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

One time

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

Will I stay?

Voici venu le moment que j’attends depuis toujours
Donner mon corps et mon âme dans un hymne à l’amour
Et que le meilleur en moi puisse enfin trouver sa voie

Attends-toi au meilleur
J’en fais foi sur mon cœur
Rien ne saura m’arrêter d’y croire
Attends-toi au meilleur
À revenir vainqueur
Devant toi, plus haut, plus loin, plus fort

Je te promets de tout donner, de ne rien cacher
Dans la joie, le courage, et la force de l’humilité
Que tes Yeux plein d’espoir, témoignent de ma victoire

Attends-toi au meilleur
J’en fais foi sur mon cœur
Rien ne saura m’arrêter d’y croire
Attends-toi au meilleur
À revenir vainqueur
Sous tes yeux, plus haut, plus loin, plus fort

Pour l’honneur, moi j’ai donné ma vie
J’ai en moi un désir infini

Attends-toi au meilleur
À des rêves en couleur
Attends-toi de vivre encore plus fort
Attends-toi au meilleur
À revenir vainqueur
Devant toi, plus haut, plus loin, plus fort
