Looking out and I'm wondering where I am
While I'm stuck in the daily traffic jam I decide to get out and leave the world behind me Everywhere there are people passing by Empty faces and not a friendly smile Under stress, loneliness, a part of our city Now I finally have decided I will leave it all behind And discover something better And l know where I will find Find a place of harmony, of laughter and of dreams It you want me, that is where I'll be I'll be waiting on the Highland With its wonderful serenity Where the stars glow and the brooks flow That's my way of life When the mountains on the Highland And the nature is surrounding me When the wind blows That's all I need, all I need On the highland when I was a child l would play with my friends and we were wild And we all loved the moors, the nature and it's freedom And we went for ghost hunt in the mist l remember the first time I got kissed By the shy neighbour guy, who whispered "be my girlfriend" But I longed for some excitement So l travelled 'round the world After that I settled down and l became a city girl Want to parties every night and lived intensively Now l know it's not a life for me I'll be waiting on the Highland With it's wonderful serenity Where the stars glow and the brooks flow That's my way of life When the mountains on the Highland And the nature is surrounding me When the wind blows that's all I need On the Highland, on the Highland, you will see Oh my darling, I would hate to leave it whitout you I'm sure you love the highland too If you join me I can promise You'll stay until eternity I'll be waiting on the Highland With it's wonderful serenity Where the stars glow and the brooks flow That's my way of life When the mountains on the Highland And the nature is surrounding me When the wind blows that's all I need On the Highland On the highland All the mountains on the highland are embracing and surrounding me |

It's a reflection that you see in me
But I know it's not reality Beneath the glitter and behind all the lace Do you see my face? I'll be the mirror, the spaces in between It's not the truth, it's just a dream I guess we all have to believe in something In anything Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take a chance? Do you see me for all that I can be Do you believe, believe in me? Sometimes you need to be lost just to be found You need to go to come back around You need to set somebody free for them to return You live and learn Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take a chance? Do you see me for all that I can be Do you believe, believe in me?--- I've heard it said that true love is blind All this is just a state of mind If you're not looking you will never find You'll be left behind Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take my hand? Maybe you'll see through the mystery Do you believe-- Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take a chance? Maybe you'll see all that I can be Do you believe, believe in me? |

The moon must be an angel, her halo surely heaven sent
Watching from above should the bells forget to ring And we but lonely travelers, following a ray of light All become the same when we begin to sing Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song--For the sake of the song Could you ever fly without the fear of falling? Does the night bird cease just because it's dawn? Could a candle burn with any less resilience? Should we never love for the fear that it may fade? Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song--For the sake of the song----- Could you ever be just for the sake of being? Could a melody ever be wrong? Could you ever sing just for the sake of singing? Set your spirit free for the sake of the song--- Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song- For the sake of the song For the sake of the song---- |

Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star
And everybody’s in movies it doesn’t matter who you are There are stars in every city in every house and on every street And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard their names are written in concrete Don’t step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard She looks so weak and fragile that’s why she tried to be so hard But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne But she turned her back on stardom because she wanted to be alone Ref: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognise some that you’ve hardly even heard of People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain If you covered him with garbage George Sanders would still have style And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney he would still turn round and smile But don’t tread on dearest Marilyn ’cos she’s not very tough She should have been made of iron or steel but she was only flesh and blood Ref: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognise some that you’ve hardly even heard of People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain (2x) Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive And he looks up ladies’ dresses as they sadly pass him by Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi ’cause he’s liable to turn and bite But stand close by Bette Davis because hers was such a lonely life I wish my life was a non stop hollywood movie show A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain And celluloid heroes never really die. Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star And everybody’s in show biz it doesn’t matter who you are And those who are successful be always on your guard, Success walks hand in hand with failure along Hollywood Boulevard. |

Once was a legend of old
In the time of days long ago The clattering beat of a horse on the street He appeared from the fog like a ghost I could feel him heading this way A storm was filling the air If the truth be told, when the winds blow cold They are warning you to beware No, the wild cannot be tamed Keeper of the flame We wondered what devil is this Who appears from out of the mist With a crack of a whip, and a wave of his fist He was cursed and I was bewitched Haunted by seeing his face Through the mirror the smoke and the haze So hard to see, through the dark mystery The illusion was part of the game Be careful of what you wish for And make sure when it knocks at your door It's what you need, not some fantasy That will haunt you forever more Let it be what you need, not some fantasy That will haunt you forever more |

Through the long days of summer
Where the air was as sweet as perfume We walked through the golden meadows And danced by the light of the moon She was a lonely angel Sitting there by the side of the road On the edge of the forest That's where the wild things grow And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl In her hand was a basket Sticks and branches were woven as one She smiled bright like a child Bright as the afternoon sun It was filled with her treasures A whole cradle of nature's bounty Wild flowers were chosen To lay amongst the forest berries And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl "It's a great day for a gatherer You can say that I told you so In these uncertain days It's the simple things you need the most" And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl Blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl---- |

Once upon a dark autumn night
I was so very far from sleep I longed to walk beneath the stars Into the wood so dark and deep- Neither myth nor fairy tale could keep me from the path to the maze But eyes upon me I could feel Hidden in the shadows watching always- Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me to mankind- Once while I was sitting in my room One cold and silver winter's day I could hear another worldly call try as I might I could'nt turn away- Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me to mankind---- Somewhere in between the moss and the stone The wind and the wood became my home I layed myself down upon the green when the ivy overgrew I could never leave-- Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me to mankind Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me---to mankind------ |

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again Our ship lies at harbour she's ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if we should meet again by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me My footsteps may falter my wit it may fail My course may be challenged by November gale Ere fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe You will always be with me wherever I go |

Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swelling Sweet William on his death bed lay For love of Barbara Allen He sent his servant unto her To the place where she was dwelling Saying you must come to his bedside now, If your name be Barbara Allen So slowly slowly she got up And slowly she drew nigh him And the only words to him did say "Young man I think you're dying" As she walked slowly o'er the field She heard the death bells knelling And with every stroke it seemed to say Hard hearted Barbara Allen Oh mother, oh mother make my bed Make it both long and narrow Sweet William died for me today I will die for him tomorrow They buried her in the old churchyard They buried him beside her And from his grave grew a red red rose And from her grave a green briar They grew and grew to the steeple top Till they could grow no higher And there they tied in a true love's knot Red rose around green briar |
