Sitting at the piano

A cup of tea right by your side

Trying to figure out the line

You’ve heard last night at a West End show

Your blue eyes half closed, your eyes white open

Waiting fort he perfect man

I know it’s not me, but who would I be

If I didn’t try to let you know that

I’m in love with you, so in love with you

You’re my prima ballerina

You’re the girl who puts me in a funny mood for love

I’m in love with you, so in love with you

Though I know I’m just a dreamer

I still hope this song will lead you

To fall in love me me too

Everything’s set up for today’s barbecue

Your friends is all that matters to you

A theory on this and another on that

A friendly, safe and peaceful chat

I know you are scared, I know you’ve been hurt

Time’s a gentle healer I once heard

But I’m not trying to fool you, I would never hurt you

All I’m trying to let you know is that

I’m in love with you, so in love with you

You’re my prima ballerina

You’re the girl who puts me in a funny mood for love

I’m in love with you, so in love with you

Though I know I’m just a dreamer

I still hope this song will lead you

To fall in love me me too

You’ll never be mine

Your heart is somewhere else

Still you eyes will always shine

To brighten up my days

When the world seems in a hurry don’t you rush too much

Relax, take a deep breath or better make it two

There’s nothing so important that couldn’t wait for a while

And things worthwile always need time to grow

If you think that you’re ugly or an insult to your mirror

And you’ve got noone to talk to or to laugh with when you’d like

Then think of this words that I have written here for you

They may not be poetic but very simple and true

It’s ok, things are just the way you see them

Don’t go astray, don’t listen to what others say

It’s ok, if nobody brightens your day

Folow your way, ‘cause the best there is is you

You’re losing hair, you’re gaining weight

To find a nice girl it may be too late

And you don’t like cats and dogs at all

Besides your flat is far to small

You’d like to meet Charlize Theron

Take a look at yourself and the dream is gone

You see your best friends on demand

And there you have them all day long

It’s ok, things are just the way you see them

Don’t go astray, don’t listen to what others say

It’s ok, if nobody brightens your day

Folow your way, ‘cause the best there is is you

It’s not Rockabilly, Hillybilly, Mambo, Chachacha

Not Disco-Fox or Swing that rocks or Salsa, Bachata

Just a little melody, you can sing it right along with me

Or use it as a remedy in times that you feel sad

Last night I left you with a feeling that you may not really love me

It starts in my head, goes to my heart, tears it apart and it just won’t stop

I call you up and ask if there’s something that you might wanna tell me

But then say, I'm going astray and like everyday, everything's ok

Sugar, honey, baby

There is something to it

Wanna know, gotta know, need to know if you still feel the same

Baby since I’ve known you, life’s been so much better

Gotta know, need to know, let me know if you still love me

I’m lying in my bed and the smell of your perfume gives me shivers

Though you’re not here, you’re always near, my only fear’s that this may stop some day

You tell me that you go out with your girlfriends won’t be home before midnight

Whereever you go you gotta know I still love you so, please don’t make me feel low

Sugar, honey, baby

There is something to it

Wanna know, gotta know, need to know if you still feel the same

Baby since I’ve known you, life’s been so much better

Gotta know, need to know, let me know if you still miss me

And everytime I tell you what you are to me

I really mean it baby, tell me can’t you see

You’re dressing near the knuckle and the way you move your huckle gets me puzzled

You suddenly care what clothes you wear, I am aware something’s going on

So I take a walk down the street try to chill and take it easy

The birds sing a song, I hum along, alone in the night, ‘cause you’re out of sight

It was you who told me, love is not a game

And it was you who cried then

Calling it out my name

Funny how things can turn just the other way

And strange that it happens when everything seems tob e ok

I might have been a fool then to trust you baby

But only a foolish lover’s heart is true

If I knew where they sell good hearts

I’d get one for you

If they told me how to get a real soul too

I would let you know

There where nights when I came home all exhausted and weary

And I knew I couldn’t give you all that you asked from me

But baby, baby, baby all that you ever needed

Was just a man who works for you and satisfies your pleasure

I might have been a fool then, to trust you, baby

But only a broken heart knows what love is

If I knew where they sell good hearts

I’d get one for you

If they told me how to get a real soul too

I would let you know

If i knew where they sell happiness

I’d get some for you

If you came back and asked me to be your lover baby

I wouldn’t let you in

Come on, pretty baby, take out that tight black dress

Put a flower in your hair and let’s get to the beach

There’s a band playing there tonight

I heard they’re pretty good

It’s warm summer night and the drinks they serve are cool

Everybody wants to be with you on the dancefloor

But you say there’s only me and you and the night and the music

Dance with me, I want to feel your body moving close to mine tonight

Oh, let us dance and sweat and feel the heat

To the rhythm of this summer beat

The drummer rockst he ground, everybody’s freaking out

The whole crowd seems to be in the mood tonight

People here are joyful, no time for worries now

Nobody’s feeling lonesome, nobody’s feeling bad

Legs and feet are twisting on that shaky ground

Young and old are twirling, going round and round

Dance with me, I want to feel your body moving close to mine tonight

Oh, let us dance and sweat and feel the heat

To the rhythm of this summer beat

Candle lights dance in the summer wind

The night appears in her mystic glint

No place on earth I would rather be

Setting my soul so free

Dance with me, I want to feel your body moving close to mine tonight

Oh, let us dance and sweat and feel the heat

To the rhythm of this summer beat

As I’m passing by your window with a red rose in my hand

I can feel my heart still beating, gotta bring this to an end

I’m gonna love you forever, or maybe only for tonight

Ain’t gonna change my mind, don’t wanna look behind

To a chance I didn’t take

You tell me to careful, your mummy’s watching my every step

Sitting in the courtyard, she’s gonna shoot me from the hip

Ay Teresita, come to me

I promise I’ll make you happy

You want no ties, no compromise

We’ll love each other ‘till sunrise

And if your daddy’s not at home

I’ll be the king on his throne

You’ll be my queen in paradise

We’ll love each other ‘till sunrise

I am waiting for the night to come and your mummy to fall asleep

When the time is right I’ll watch your sign through the shadows of the night

With the rose between my lips i climb up the rope that leads to your love

I know what I will find is gonna blow my mind

I am burning for your love

Just when I am close to you someone’s tipping on my back

A trembling look and hands on hips your daddy’s showing me the door

Ay Teresita, come to me

I promise I’ll make you happy

You want no ties, no compromise

We’ll love each other ‘till sunrise

And if your daddy’s not at home

I’ll be the king on his throne

You’ll be my queen in paradise

We’ll love each other ‘till sunrise

Who would have ever thought

We two would meet again

Trembling from head to toe

As I did way back when

I first saw you at the old cafe

You smiled at me, you took my breath away

You havent’s changed a bit, sweet darling

You’re still beautiful in every way

How’s life been treating you, please tell me

I would really love to know

The rain was dancing on your shoulders

The evening lights caressed your face

And then I asked you to come over

And have a drink right by my side

We laughed, we danced, we had a glass of wine

And time stood still just for a little while

You havent’s changed a bit, sweet darling

You’re still beautiful in every way

How’s life been treating you, please tell me

I would really love to know

Although it’s great to see you ‘round again

And to share one more moment with you

I’ll have to leave before I fall again

‘Cause this time could mean for good

You havent’s changed a bit, sweet darling

You’re still beautiful in every way

How’s life been treating you, please tell me

I would really love to know

You wouldn’t call her pretty

Her hair is quite a mess

She only dresses second hand

But in style never the less

In the morning when she wakes up

The sun waves her hello

She’s as beautiful as Norah Jones or Marilyn Monroe

She’s like a dream, so unreal

One I’d like to unveil

She makes me feel alright

Wish she were by my side

It’s not the shoes that she wears

Don’t need no diamonds and pearls

It’s just the way she moves

She plays by her own rules

Kicking stones and whistling

As if she were a boy

She’s got everything that others miss

And she’s a little coy

She smiles like little babies do

It’s funny how she looks

You’d never find someone like that in movies or in books

I’d like to know where she comes from

And if she’s going to stay for long

I wonder if she’s noticed me

Or does she like me secretely

Yet my heart is too cumbersome

It fails to give wings to my tongue

I know I’ll never make her mine

And so I let her be and her

Beautiful Lips, yes she knows all the tricks

To make me feel alright

Wish she were by my side

It’s not the shoes that she wears

Don’t need no diamonds and pearls

It’s just the way she moves

She plays by her own rules

And everytime I see her

Passing by my street

I’d like to talk to her

But then I might be indiscreet

Sieben Jahre, jetzt willst du mich nicht mehr sehen

Packst die Koffer und lässt mich im Regen stehen

Ein kühler Blick nur, hast die Schlüssel schon bereit

Sagst du gehst jetzt und du willst bloss keinen Streit

Keine Ahnung, wo du hingehst

Einfach schnell weg von hier

Du kannst mich nicht mehr sehen

Hast genug von mir

Genug gesagt, zu viel geschehen

Wir können nicht einfach die Zeit umdrehen

Die Liebe kommt, genauso wie sie geht

Bleibt für immer bestehen oder wird vom Winde verweht

Ich wache auf und der Tag geht nicht vorbei

Regen oder Sonne, mir ganz einerlei

Hungrig aber mutlos, den Entscheid erneut vertagt

Ja, ich weiss schon, nie gewinnt, wer niemals wagt

Doch was soll ich noch kämpfen um deine Liebe

Kennst keine Gefühle, die tiefer gehen

Ich seh’ mich im Spiegel, verloren in Gedanken

Die sich im Kreise drehen

Ich wünschte manchmal bloss, alles wäre so wie früher

Nun starr’ ich in die Leere, nirgendwo ein Stück von dir

Genug gesagt, zu viel geschehen

Wir können nicht einfach die Zeit umdrehen

Die Liebe kommt, genauso wie sie geht

Bleibt für immer bestehen oder wird vom Winde verweht

Bessere als mich wirst du tausende wohl finden

Aber keiner wird dir geben, was du von mir bekamst

Sieben Jahre, eine glückliche Zeit

War’s für dich denn nur Kummer und Leid

Ein Blick zurück zeigt mir unsere Schwächen auf

Von Beginn an nahm das Schicksal seinen Lauf

Geben oder nehmen war für dich niemals ganz klar

Gewinnen in der Liebe wird nur ganz selten wahr

Genug gesagt, zu viel geschehen

Wir können nicht einfach die Zeit umdrehen

Die Liebe kommt, genauso wie sie geht

Bleibt für immer bestehen oder wird vom Winde verweht
