Anxious waiting, counting days, 
can't breath-can't breath...
The distance of time separates us, 
leaving behind what we once was, 
too weak, I need you to breath...
Slowly rain drops falling, 
as time starts crawling 
and whispers your name, 
where pain has taken me... 
In that distance, where you dream 
and, pray for wishes there I'll be

Lets not waste this, time don't mean a thing
In that distance, time is still, 
what we want we will 
so lets not waste this , the time don't mean a thing

Come what may I still believe, 
no matter where these roads may take us i know you will find me…

Come what may I still believe, 
in the distance I'll be waiting, anticipating she..

Nothings gonna change, nothing can defeat us, waiting, counting days can't breath... 

In that distance, where you dream 
and, pray for wishes there I'll be
Lets not waste this, time don't mean a thing
In that distance, time is still, 
what we want we will 
so lets not waste this , the time don't mean a thing

He can't remember 
The times that he thought
Does my daddy love me?
Probably not
But that didn't stop him
From wishing that he did
Didn't keep him from wanting
Or worshipping him

Guesses he saw him
About once a year
He could still feel the way he felt
Standing in tears
Stretching his arms out
As far as they'd go
Whispering dad
I want you to know

chorus :
I love you this much 
And i'm waiting on you
To make up your mind
Do you love me too?
How ever long it takes
I'll never giving up, no matter what
I love you this much

He grew to hate him for what he had done
'Cause what kind of father
To do that to his son?
He said “damn you daddy!”
The day that he died
The man didn't blink
But the little boy cried

bridge :
Half way through the service
While the choir sang a hymn
He looked up above the preacher
And he sadly stared at HIM

He said “forgive me FATHER” 
When he realized
That he hadn't been unloved
Or alone all his life
HIS arms were stretched out 
As far as they'd go
Nailed to the cross
For the whole world to know

What do you see when you’re looking out the window?
What do you feel when you’re caressed by the wind that blows?
What do you see when you’re looking at the empty roads?
What do you feel when no laughter is echoed?
Tell me what’s in your mind, what’s in your heart
All the things that u feel inside you shouldn’t hide, let me be your guide…

I’m  looking at you now, and I don’t get it why
What is it with the sad look that I see in you eyes?
 
What do you see when you’re looking at the frozen ground?
What do you feel when the music plays the sound?
Tell me what is your thought, what is your dream
Let me be the one to reach out your restless soul, let me be the stream

I’m looking at you now, and I don’t get it why
What is it with the sad look that I see in you eyes?
 
What do you see when you’re looking at the flowers bloom?
What do you feel when melodies fill the room ?
Tell me what should I do, to get to you
Can’t u see the love that I’m keepin’ just for you, do you love me too?

Life is a flower, meek and frail
Handle with care
Water and feed and tend it well
Give it fresh air
Life is a gift from God above
Given in Love
Life is something you cannot buy
Don’t pass it by

Life is a sweet butterfly
Changing through time
Be patient and never lose hope
Then u can cope
Bring every matter in your prayer
God’s always there
He’ll bring you through the dark of night
Into the light

My child I pray, you'll listen to
A thing i must confess
You've been a treasure buried deep
Within my busyness
You were not born into this world
To live an orphan's life
And by God's grace
I long to make it right...

You life's a living letter
That's a sacred certainty
A poem of perfect praise
That's what i hope you will be
It's all you were, and all you are
And all you'll ever be
Your life's a letter
Written there by me

Day by day I write accross
The pages of your life
Some sentences of kindness and
Some paragraphs of light
May they be words of love
And words of hope
Not words of dark despair
For on your soul
The world will read them there

I still remember how
U promised to be mine forever time
Under the jealous sun and
Its beautiful purple hair
Oooh
But time, it flies like a jetplane
And suddenly a promise 
Means nothing no more
Wind has taken it away

And suddenly a promise 
Means nothing no more
Wind has taken it away…

I still remember how
That look in your eyes when u said the line
The whole world stopped for a while
As eternity embraced
Oooh
But time, it runs like a deadly stream
And suddenly the love 
That I thought I knew
Carried away to the sea…

And suddenly the love 
That I thought I knew
Carried away to the sea…

It´s a jolly good time
a truly delight
all the pleasure is mine
it´s a jolly good time

the sun's shining bright
my heart's full of cheer
let´s go for a ride
into thin air we disappear

world smells like a spring
trees are changing to white
so we start to sing
life is a delight

day is running from smile
sit back and enjoy
just stay for a while
zest for life we decoy

the sun's shining bright
my heart's full of cheer
let´s go for a ride
into thin air we disappear

we light a fire of hope and soul
live a life of ease 
don't play any role

A new day, A new ray, the sun is smiling nice to me
A new chance, A new hope, to realize what I want to be
God leads me now
To the place I belong,You’ll be my light and be my guide all the way

A new phase, I will face, a different world than I used to see
And I’ll fly, with my wings, conquering the wind beneath me
God leads me now
Take me high up the sky, You’ll be my shield and be my strength all the way

Oh God leads me now
Nothing can stop me anyhow
I will find my way to reach all my dreams till they all come true

What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers 
Where there use to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine

Oh, what a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy 
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you 
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you
And the difference is you

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, of all the trees most lovely
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, of all the trees most lovely
Each year you bring to me delight, meaning in the Christmas night
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, of all the trees most lovely

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, with faithful leaves unchanging
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, with faithful leaves unchanging
Your boughs are green, in summers glow and do not fade in winters snow
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, with faithful leaves unchanging

December has come, it’s about the time to get ready for the chime
Wrap the christmas gifts, play a christmas song, waiting Santa comes along

Build a big old white snowman, gather around with friends
Wasting time by the fire, watch the children play so fun

But do not forget, the first Christmas set, in a busy Bethlehem
Where The Lord has born, ready to be torn, the greatest gift ever shown

Take some time to overlook what we’ve done through the year
How He has brought us this far, every laughter every tear
Let the joy of this Christmas, be more than gifts or cards
Knowing that the true Christmas has just happened in our hearts

December will fly, it will be the time, people wave and say goodbye
But the Christmas joy, will forever stay, every season every day

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on, 
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years 
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Silent night, Holy night
 All is calm, all is bright
 Round yon virgin, mother and child
 Holy infant, tender and mild
 Sleep in heavenly peace,
 Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night
 Son of God, love's pure light
 Radiant beams from thy holy face
 With the dawn of redeeming grace,
 Jesus, Lord at thy birth
 Jesus, Lord at thy birth.

Sometimes the sun won’t shine, sometimes the world feels far than just round
Sometimes the flowers fail to bloom, and sometimes it feels like a gloom
But most of the times we forget, one thing The Lord has promised to keep
That we are in God’s loving hands

U will find the ocean gets rough, u will find the road’s getting tough
They will try to make you drowned, and they’ll try to take u down
But never again you shall forget, one thing The Lord has promised to keep
That you are in God’s loving hands

But never again we shall forget, one thing The Lord has promised to keep
That we are in God’s loving hands

When your soul, can't weigh more
Father's waiting for you to come home
When you're burnt out, can't move on
Know that His love for you has never gone

From the dusk till the dawn
Father's waiting for you to come home
Though you may not love him more 
Know that His love for you has never gone

When you look at the stars shining bright in the sky
When u smell the scents of the roses blooming wild
Can you not tell that His love for you never dies?
And to Him you will forever be His sweet child

When your soul, can't weigh more
Father's waiting for you to come home
When you're burnt out, can't move on
Know that His love for you has never gone

What a love, what a sacrifice
From above, You came, paid the price
Rejected by God and despised by the blinds
You had shown how love redefined

Sinners celebrate, wicked ones rejoice
Angels at the gate, let them hear your voice
Singing hallelujah, honoring Messiah
Of what He had done for us

No greater love can a man ever find
A love that died for once and all man kind

What a love, what a sacrifice
From above, You came, paid the price
Rejected by God and despised by the blinds
You had shown how love redefined

Rejected by God, despised by the blinds
So forever I can shine

A Tribute for my dad (Oct 01, 1934 - Apr 03, 2015)

***

Every time I remembered you
Tears slowly slipped away
Every piece of memories rolled back in my eyes
Oh daddy, how I miss you here with me

Still I feel your company
Your smile’s the one I see
Every piece of the love you send from above
Oh daddy, I know you’re with me

So though you're far away
I still feel you each day
You give me strength to path my road
You’ll always be my inspirations
You'll lift me up when I am down

Sending my prayer to the sky
‘Till we meet again one day…

Hey…. It’s a beautiful night 
Do the dance right

Let the music fill your soul, let it fully take control 
Dance with the beats in ur head, let it take u where it led 
Move ur body right and left, spin yourself forget the stress 
It is a beautiful night, baby get urself shines bright

If u never did it before, just get with me on the floor 
Blend with the others in joy, do as u like and enjoy 
Feel the excitement around, feel the atmosphere and sound 
Let the music kept u drowned, dance all ur best till the dawn

The colors of traffic light
burn my eyes, cover my sight
I’m driving alone at midnight

The wipers hustling fast as I drive 
while I have nowhere to arrive
But still I feel  I need to survive

Far, so far oh I’ve run
And i don’t have any plan
But the further I’m away from u
The closer you are to me

The moon shines oh so bright 
but still this feeling I can’t hide
I miss u my dear oh so much

Though I have travelled so far
In daylight and night with the stars
Still I cant bare all these scars

Far, so far oh I’ve run
And i don’t have any plan
But the further I’m away from u
The closer you are to me

Far, so far oh I’ve run
And i don’t have any plan
But the further I’m away from u
The closer you are to me

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades


And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
