Lyrics:

I have tried to live
I have tried to love
I have tried to see
Now look what that did to me
Now look what it did to me

I was true to life
That runs in my blood
Wild as a star's desire
And you came along, darling
You set my world on fire

I was true to love
Of a special kind
I thought we would be one
It was foolish, I know, but that's what I've done
I'm a fool but that's what I've done

This the grave
For the last of my dreams
This is where they'll sleep now
Now I hope to forget, to forget somehow
I hope to forget somehow

But the angels cry
For the all the roses that die
When love is killed by fear
And an angel's tear is eternal rain
Is eternal rain down here

I Have Tried To Love [an original song. New version]

The Summers Of My Childhood [an original piano improvisation]

Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me)

There's a beggar
In the city
He walks on his bare feet
His wife lies sick in the gutter
His daughter works the streets
But the beggar doesn't worry about those things
Poverty almost makes him sing!
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

There's a worker
From Bangladesh
Building houses in Qatar
Football stadiums and hotels
Rising up to reach the stars
But the scaffold gives way and that's the end
For our worker and thousands of his friends
You might find it strange
But on their minds as they fell to death
Was the threat from climate change

There's a family man
In China
He's a slave in a factory
Making lots of plastic stuff
That's shipped to you and me
And the sweatshop's open day and night
Who cares about workers' rights?
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

Little brother
Walking home
You're now on CCTV
When you stop for a hot dog
The authorities can see
The police reads your life like an open book
But hey! We can't let terrorists off the hook...
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

These new cars
They are so smart
They don't need energy
Just use the socket on your wall
And charge the battery
They drive by themselves in a long steely chain
It almost looks like (what's it called....?) a railroad train!
It's hard to believe, but it's true:
Electricity is a magic thing
That appears out of the blue!

Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me) - An original song

Memories of Nights in Napoli [original piano improvisation. (Waltz-March-Waltz)]

I Sat Down By The River

I sat down by the river
On a - somewhat - sunny day
I watched the golden leaves
As they floated away

I sat down by the river
On that autumn day
I looked at the city behind me
It had nothing more to say

I sat down by the river
With a dream to go away
Leaving life as I knew it
Knowing bloody well that I would stay

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I sat down by the river
On that fateful day
And for every choice I ever made
There was a price to pay

When I sat down by the river
A pretty flower spoke to me
I didn't know the language
So the message was a mystery

I sat down by the river
There were birds in the sky
I wonder when life begins
As the years are passing by

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style
