IF…
(words and music by B.A. Diana)
If by chance one day we meet again / Like tangents in a game of pool
I think I would this time for sure / I would step up and tell you
Maybe across a cup of coffee I would / Suggest that we should meet again
And when the time is finally right / I would hold tight and say that

I did love you more that I could bear / I loved you more that I felt safe
I loved you so that I got scared / And so I ran away
But with every step I died inside / I simply couldn’t realize
Now that I finally know / I wouldn’t let you go away again

If I think of all the time I’ve spent / as I was running from myself
And I could not get to admit / that you were all I wanted
Days and nights just wasted as I tried / in various ways to turn back time
Only to find to my dismay / that life will wait for no one

It has taken me too much too long / to understand where I went wrong 
Now that I finally know / I would not let you go away again

Now that I have learned the worth of days / now that I know how much it hurts
To run away from love / I wouldn’t make the same mistake again

Now that I have tasted my regret / much as I know we can’t go back
If given half a chance / I would not let you go away again

Lullaby
(words and music by B.A. Diana)
Through the night
And its shadows
Through the silence
Of your beautiful eyes
Through your hours of darkness
Till a morning before you
Through the sting in the tail
Of days that never seem to rise

Through the rain
When is falling inside
Through the tears that I wished 
You never ever had to cry
When the world falls to pieces
And the pain is too raw
And you think there is 
Nowhere left to go
Through the wounds of the mind
Through the burning of fire
Through the shimmering lights
That make your heart and soul go blind

Through the sorrow
When you say I had enough
When you say there is no one
When you say life’s too though
When you say not a day goes by 
That I don’t want to die
When you say I don’t know
And I don’t want to know
No I don’t care to know
I don’t want to know

I’ll be there for you

Through the thrusts of the wind
Through the scars on the skin
Through the burdens of time
I’ll be there
Where the sun leaves no traces
‘Midst unfamiliar faces
Like a light in your mind
That’s flashing
Time and time again
I’ll be there


Lullaby by Barbara Diana

See Beauty
(words and music by B.A. Diana)

So many times I just passed by 
Took little notice of a smile
And as I walked lost in my track 
The world just couldn’t bring me back

So many times I would not know
Without a reason I said no
And in the meantime I forgot 
This life is everything we’ve got

But since you’ve opened up my door
I have discovered there is more
This love I cannot reconcile
Has brought me back from my exile
It is a sight that sets me free
And you’re the song that makes me sing
‘cause through your eyes I get to see
Beauty in everything

Now every day is a new dawn
My old contempt completely gone
And thoughts I held a year ago
Belong to someone I don’t know.

I could not quite believe at first
I thought my heart was going to burst
This disenchantment makes me see
Reality as it’s meant to be

‘Cause since you’ve opened up my door
I have discovered there is more
This love I cannot quite explain
Has brought the world to life again
It is a sight that sets me free
And you’re the song that makes me sing
‘cause through your eyes I get to see
Beauty in everything

The fire that’s burning deep inside
The light that shines through even when it’s dark

‘Cause since you’ve opened up my door
I have discovered there is more
This love I cannot quite explain
Has brought me back to life again
It is a sight that sets me free
And you’re the song that makes me sing
‘cause through your eyes I get to see
Beauty in everything
