You're crying, and only you know why
Keep it locked inside
Hide the tears from your eyes

You're so stuck believing that you brought it on yourself
Lock your heart in a jar and you put it on the shelf
Look yourself in the mirror, don't recognize your face
Don't recognize who you are, don't recognize this place

Your heart is torn to pieces like shattered glass on the floor
You can't take it anymore, you can't take it anymore
Run away, far away
But you always come begging for more

You can't explain what you feel like inside
It's like a piece of your soul
Has shriveled up and died
And all these tears won't bring back the things that were taken from you

And after all these years you still feel the hurt
You still believe the lies that he told you
that he whispered in your ear

But you know my dear you're beautiful believe it

You're beautiful

Believe it, receive it

Beautiful

You're such a nice guy, why are you so shy?
Yes, all the girls love your beautiful smile
And in those jeans, you make a girl go weak at the knees
But you're so insecure, that you won't even dance with me

I want to know why, why won't you dance with me?
It's a rhythmical love affair that will set you free

I wan't to know you, why won't you dance with me?
It's the beating of the drums that will set you free
I want to know you why won't you dance with me
It's the beating of the drums that will set you free

Misunderstood, a little socially awkward
put down for the way that you walk and the way that you talk but I love it
So put on your dancing shoes, and I'll put on mine
You know boy, I can't dance but we'll still have a good time

I want to know why, why won't you dance with me?
It's a rhythmical love affair that will set you free

I wan't to know you, why won't you dance with me?
It's the beating of the drums that will set you free
I want to know you why won't you dance with me
It's the beating of the drums that will set you free


Dance With Me

Memories, heartache in your company
I've lost my sanity on account of you too many times before

Promises, your words hold but emptiness
I fight for the truth but all I'm grabbing hold of is more of 

You and your lies
I'm starting to despise you and your lies

Take a breath, hold on to what is left
And decide to make the best of it, when it all comes crashing down

Hush now my dear, just steer clear
Of the sunrise at night, cos it's just another one of his

Lies, you and your lies
I'm starting to despise you and your lies 

Oh, ooh 

And it's 
You and your lies, 
I'm starting to despise you and your lies 

You & Your Lies

You’re such a nice guy
Why are you so shy
All the girls love 
your beautiful smile

And in those jeans  
you make a girl go weak at the knees 
but you’re so insecure
that you won’t even dance with me 

I want to know why, why won’t you dance with me,
It’s a rhythmical love affair that will set you free, oh

I want to know you
Why won’t you dance with me
It’s the beating of the drums
That will set you free  


Misunderstood
a little “socially awkward” 
put down for the way that you talk and the way that you walk
but I love it

Put on your dancing shoes
And I’ll put on mine
You know boy, I can’t dance
But we’ll still have a good time

I want to know why, why won’t you dance with me,
It’s a rhythmical love affair that will set you free, oh

I want to know you
Why won’t you dance with me
It’s the beating of the drums
That will set you free  




Dance with me - acoustic

Listen boy, it’s been a while since I met you
I feel like all I wanna do is be with you
But you don’t feel quite the same way, do you?
So now I’m gonna ask you “do you, do you, do you wanna?”

I’m sick and tired of trying to get your attention
Tell me boy if I’m going in the right direction
I wanna feel your touch, feel this love connection
so now I’m gonna ask you “do you, do you, do you wanna?” 

See me, talk to me
Be my, baby
Listen, carefully
Please invite me to the party

Love me, care for me
Or do I drive you crazy
So tell me do you wanna kiss me

Do you wanna kiss me? 

I really don’t like feeling all left out
And if I drive you crazy, all you gotta do is shout
But I wish you’d get to it cos I’m getting impatient
Boy I wanna tell you, I’m tired of waiting

Make up your mind, you’re either in or you’re out
Stop wasting my time, you’re either interested or not
Don’t leave me hanging, just give me an answer
So now I’m gonna ask you "do you, do you, do you wanna?"

See me, talk to me
Be my, baby
Listen, carefully
Please invite me to the party

Love me, care for me
Or do I drive you crazy
So tell me do you wanna kiss me

Do you wanna kiss me? 

Kiss Me - acoustic

"Vaarwel" recorded live from the abandoned Groote Schuur Zoo in Cape Town. This is a song I wrote for a beautiful young lady named Sumaré after she passed away last year. While writing this song I was faced with weighing up our earthly riches with heavenly blessings and realised that even though Sumaré is now gone, her life can still have a lasting impact on others.

LYRICS:

Jy was die een op wie die Here Sy seën uitgestort het
Jy was die een met die glimlag so groot waaroor almal gevra het 
Jy was die een met ‘n hart so groot jy wou almal gered het
Jy was die een met die stem so mooi wat almal geken het

Vaarwel aan die kind van bo gestuur
Stem in die wind in die oggend uur
Die viool se klanke sal ek onthou

Vaarwel aan die meisie met die mooiste oë
Laat my vertrou in liefde en God daar bo
Vaarwel, vaarwel

Ek sal onthou toe jy aan my geleer het
Om liefde te wys selfs wanneer jy seer het
Om om te gee, soos die see, oneindigend 

Ek sal onthou om die vuur toe jy vir my sê
Die lewe is te kort om nie lief te hê 
En die seer sal nooit vergaan as jy daaraan vashou

Vaarwel aan die kind van bo gestuur
Stem in die wind in die oggend uur
Die viool se klanke sal ek onthou

Vaarwel aan die meisie met die mooiste oë
Laat my vertrou in liefde en God daar bo
Vaarwel, vaarwel

[Vaarwel] 

Vaarwel aan die kind van bo gestuur
Stem in die wind in die oggend uur
Die viool se klanke hoor ek nou

Vaarwel aan die meisie met die mooiste oë
Laat my vertrou in liefde en God daar bo
Die engele koor sing saam met jou

LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

You were the one upon whom God poured out His grace
You were the one with the smile so big that everyone asked about it
You were the one with the heart so great you wanted to save everyone
You were the one with the voice so beautiful that everyone knew

Farewell to the child sent from above
Voice in the wind at the break of dawn
The violin melody I will remember

Farewell to the girl with the beautiful eyes
Lets me trust in love and God above
Farewell, farewell

I will remember when you taught me 
To show love even when it hurts
To care like the ocean, unending

I will remember around the campfire when you said to me 
Life is too short not to love
And the pain will never fade if you hold onto it

Farewell to the child sent from above
Voice in the wind at the break of dawn
The violin melody I will remember

Farewell to the girl with the beautiful eyes
Lets me trust in love and God above
Farewell, farewell

[Farewell]

Farewell to the child sent from above
Voice in the wind at the break of dawn
The violin melody I can now hear

Farewell to the girl with the beautiful eyes
Lets me trust in love and God above
The angel choir now sings with you
