A song by Riny Raijmakers https://soundcloud.com/rinyraijmakers
This is the Jazzy version
Vocals: Eefje
Harp: Riny

I can’t imagine anyone
Ever loved you more
The way, the way that I do
I can’t envision, conceive,
Apprehend or believe
The years yet to come, without you

I can’t harbor the thought
Or fathom the plan
Our fate’s in god’s means
In god’s hands
I am convinced, but confused
A life without you is reduced
To half of the person I am

Is it written in stars
By a puzzling force
My destiny’s a direful crusade
I’ll still fight windmills, fight gods
I’ll fight fate till I’m caught
In your arms, I’m at your command

It's about my beloved Flower. Kamboja flower growing in Bali... my dedication to Bali & the spiritual people of Bali, the spiritual message in the song is for a very dear & special person.

Kamboja Flowers

I will send you scents in your darkest hours
I’m still here
I´ll color your nights with yellow flowers
Above my left ear

I´ll be there for)everyone to see
In the daytime
But at night I´ll spread my scent for you
Like the ghost of a flower

When the sphinx moth lands on my yellow petals
I’ll be your flame
With my fragrance, I will scent your temples
And be yours again

I’ll be there, in your darkest nights
Your darkest hours
When you smell my scent, you know I’ll always be
Your kamboja flower

If I ever fall down from the tree
And you’ll shed some tears
I will send you scents from kamboja flowers 
Above my left ear

Dutch Lyrics, by Bas Kooman

Als ik jou ken, echt goed ken 
Zou je ooit weggaan? 
Had jij die wens?

Had ik jou minder lief, dan zou moeten 
Waar zou je't zoeken? 
Wat kon ik doen?

Ik voer over grote oceanen 
Ik bedwong de hoogste berg 
En ik bracht dan uit de diepste zee 
Die zwarte parel mee 
Alleen voor jou 
om wie je bent 
als ik je ken

Als je mij kent, echt goed kent 
Zou ik ooit weggaan? 
Had ik die wens?

Had je mij minder lief, dan zou moeten 
Waar zou'k het zoeken? 
Wat kon jij doen?

We bevoeren grote oceanen 
We bedwongen elke berg 
En we brachten uit de diepste zee 
Die zwarte parel mee 
alleen voor jou 
om wie je bent 
als ik je ken 

English Lyrics

If I know you, like I do
Where would you go?
What would you do?

If I loved you less, than I ought to
Who would you run to?
What should I do?

Well I could navigate the deepest oceans
I could scale the highest peaks
I could dive into, the deepest blue 
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what I'd do

If you know me, like you do
Why would I leave?
Where could I go?

If you loved me less, than you ought to
Who could I run to?
If not to you?

We can navigate the deepest oceans
We can scale the highest peaks
We could dive into, the deepest blue 
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what we'd do
_

We can navigate the deepest oceans
We can scale the highest peaks
We could dive into, the deepest blue 
And bring that pearl black
Just for you
If I know you
That's what we'd do

Lyrics:

I wish you were my coffee

I wish you were my coffee
I would surely be the spoon
And stir you counter clockwise
In mornings, afternoons

At night a crystal glass
Fill me with your wine
I will drink every last drop
Till every drop of you is mine

I wish you were my butter
I would surely be the bread
I’d spread you on a slice of me
I eat it till I’m fed

At night a crystal glass
Fill me with your wine
I will drink every last drop
Till every drop of you is mine

I wish you were my dinner
I’d surely be dessert
I’d close the door, to know for sure
We will not be disturbed

I wish you were my coffee
I would surely be the spoon
And stir you counter clockwise
In mornings, afternoons

At night a crystal glass
Fill me with your wine
I will drink every last drop
Till every drop of you is mine.is mine....

I'm Eefje "Eve" & a singer (songwriter)... My heart is in Jazz  but nevertheless I like to sing different styles

I participate in EC JAZZ ( EC stands for our initials Eefje & Chris) with Chris Meijnhart van Schoor on Jazzguitar, we play Jazz & Bossa & sometimes perform as a Jazz duo @ Art events, openings etc..

I also participate in EVRIN,https://soundcloud.com/evrin  together with Riny Raijmakers (songwriter/guitarist/singer), we do mostly  a mix of jazz/folk/blues kind of indie/jazzy, orginals songs by Riny.

I find these two a great combination, & gives me the opportunity to sing in different styles !!
