Purple

Und jetzt, kurz vor dem Ende
Und bevor der letzte Vorhang fallt
ich sage es dir deutlich, mein Freund
Ich werde meine Prinzipien offenlegen,
von denen ich überzeugt bin

Ich lebte ein erfülltes Leben
Ich reiste und fuhr auf allen StraSsen
Aber vor allem, was viel wichtiger ist,
ich blieb auf meinen Weg

Bereut habe ich Einiges
Aber es ware zu wenig es zu erwahnen
Ich tat, was ich tun muSste
Und zog es ohne Ausnahme durch,
Ich plante jeden vorgezeichneten Weg
Jeden vorsichtigen Schritt auch auf Nebenwegen
Aber vor allem, was viel wichtiger ist, blieb ich auf meinen Weg

Sicherlich gab es Zeiten, die du sicher auch kennst
Wo man mehr abbeiSst, als man kauen kann
Aber immer wenn es Zweifel gab
ASs ich sie auf und spuckte sie aus
Ich trotzte allem, blieb standhaft und ging meinen Weg
Ich habe geliebt, gelacht und geweint
ich war meistens der Verlierer
Und jetzt wo die Tranen verflogen sind
Kann ich nur noch darüber lachen
Wenn ich über das was ich tat nachdenke
darf ich ohne Hemmungen sagen
Oh, nein, nein nicht ich:
Ich ging meinen Weg

Was ist ein Mann, was hat er erreicht?
Wenn er nicht er selbst ist, ist er ein Niemand.
Sagen was man wirklich fühlt,
Und von Anderen keine Befehle annehmen
Die Vergangenheit zeigt es, ich steckte die Schlage ein

Put Your Dreams Away

Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start

When your dreams at night fade before you
Then I'll have the right to adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away

When your dreams at night fade before you
Then I'll have the right to adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling

Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (corcovado)

Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us.

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
and a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely

This is where I want to be here with you so close to me
until the final flicker of life's ember.

I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
a bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
the meaning of existence, oh my love

Rain (falling From The Skies)

Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase

Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky

Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
I'll see my love again

Rain In My Heart

My eyes are dry, my love
Since you've been gone
I haven't she'd a tear
I'll never cry, my love
Though every day
Seems like a hundred years
For I'm just a fool
Who clings to his pride

But when I'm alone
I can hear
The sound of rain
In my heart
Of the tears that I hide
And it tears me apart
'Cause I keep them inside
I can't get away
From the sound of the rain
In my heart

How could I know, my love
I was a toy
Only a game to you?
How could you go, my love
Without a thought
Of what I'm going through?

How can I forget
I still love you so
It echoes each time that I hear
The sound of rain in my heart
From the tears that I hide
So it tears me apart
I still keep them inside

But I can't escape
From the sound
Of the rain in my heart
I hear that rain in my heart
Of the tears that I hide
And it tears me apart
'Cause I keep them inside

Reaching For The Moon

The moon and you appear to be so near and yet so far from me,
And here am I, on a night in June, reaching for the moon and you.
I wonder if we'll ever meet, my song of love is incomplete,
I'm just the words, looking for the tune, reaching for the moon and you.

[musical interlude]

I wonder if we'll ever meet, my song of love is incomplete,
I'm just the words, looking for the tune, reaching for the moon and you.

Remember

One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken

Remember the night
The night you said, "I love you"
Remember?

Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?

Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot

You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember


[2]
Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day
You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was
May
But soon the Maytime turned to December
You had forgotten, do you remember?

Remember Me In Your Dreams

(chorus) [Frank with chorus]

Goodnight, my love, sleep tight, my love,
It's almost dawn, remember me in your dreams.
Just one more kiss, and after this, I must be gone,
Remember me in your dreams.
The hours seemed like minutes, while I held you near.
The minutes will be hours, till we meet again, so dear,
Before we part, please take my heart,
And don't forget to remember me in your dreams.
(Remember me in your dreams.)
(Remember me in your dreams.)
[The hours seem like minutes, while I held you near.]
[The minutes will be hours, till we meet again,] so dear,
Before we part, please take my heart,
And don't forget to remember me in your dreams.

Ring-a-ding-ding

Life is dull
It's nothing but one big lull
Then presto you do a skull
And find that you're reeling
She sighs and you're feeling
Like a toy on a string
And your heart goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"

How could that funny face
That seemed to be common place
Project you right in to space
Without any warning
Don't know if its morning, night-time, winter or spring
What's the difference
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding

She takes (grabs) your hand - this captivating creature
And like its planned - you're in the phone book
Looking (Hunting) for the nearest preacher

Life is swell
You're off to that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will sound in the steeple
Announcing to people
Love's the loveliest thing
And the bell goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"

River Stay 'way From My Door

You keep goin' your way - I'll keep goin' my way (I'll keep goin' my way, you keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door

Don't (you) come up any higher - I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all I own (- and you can have that phone)

I ain't breakin' your heart - don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door

(Stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way, stay 'way)
(You dirty, old, muddy river, you)
(River, stay 'way from the door)
