  Starting from Scratch
  
  Waking up this morning
  The sun is shining bright
  You - you look so happy
  I - I´m wondering what is
  Wrong inside
  
  And as for friends and lovers
  It always seemed the same
  I - I couldn´t help it
  I - I had to let it
  All slip away
  
  It´s just that I´m
  Just that I`m
  
  Starting from scratch
  No things were not what I wished for
  But now I´m creating with wisdom
  This life of mine and I´ll be fine
  It just takes a little time
  
  And all the things that happened
  Whatever was inside
  Hey - it doesn´t matter
  Hey - it taught me how to
  Grow in life
  
  It´s just that I´m
  Just that I`m
  
  Starting from scratch
  No things were not what I wished for
  But now I´m creating with wisdom
  This life of mine and I´ll be fine
  It just takes a little time
  
  Starting from scratch
  No things were not what I wished for
  But now I´m creating with wisdom
  This life of mine and I´ll be fine
  It just takes a little time
  
  If things were not what I wished for
  Then now I´m creating with wisdom
  This life of mine and I´ll be fine
  It just takes a little time

  Sweet Loving Lady
  
  He shows her love in so many ways
  Takes care of her heart in her needing days
  Oh Baby, my sweet loving lady
  Love is here to stay
  
  Good times will come and they will go
  No question that he loves you so
  Oh Baby, my sweet loving lady
  Love is here to stay
  
  Hold on love will grow strong
  Bring on all your sweet love
  
  Through smiles and tears he will be there
  Through ups and downs his love is near
  Oh Baby, my sweet loving lady
  Love is here to stay
  
  Hold on love will grow strong
  Bring on all your sweet love
  When you look into his eyes of
  
  Sweet loving lady dancing with the moon
  When you´re his sweet loving lady
  And he wants to marry you
  Then you need to say - yes I do
  
  If precious days turn into grey
  There´s only one thing that you´ll see
  Oh Baby, my sweet loving lady
  Love is here to stay
  
  Hold on love will grow strong
  Bring on all your sweet love
  When you look into his eyes of
  
  Sweet loving lady dancing with the moon
  When you´re his sweet loving lady
  And he wants to marry you
  
  Then you need to say - yes I do
  
  Oh, you watch the sky
  And ask for guiding lights
  But there´s nothing brighter than his - kiss
  
  Plenty of reasons for you to trust
  Now choose to keep your trust in love
  Oh Baby, my sweet loving lady
  Love is here to stay
  
  When you look into his eyes of
  
  Sweet loving lady dancing with the moon
  When you´re his sweet loving lady
  And he wants to marry you
  
  Then you need to say - yes I do
  
  You need to - you need to
  You need to - you need to
  Say yes - yes
  When he wants to marry you
  
  Then you need to say yes

  Lost time
  New life
  I´m holding on to what is mine
  
  Baby put your arms around me
  Baby make me feel alright
  Baby won´t you hold me baby
  Baby won´t you hold me tight
  
  I took a roller coaster to hell
  Now I´m back here
  Baby I´m back again
  
  Baby put your arms around me
  Baby make me feel alright
  Baby won´t you hold me baby
  Baby won´t you hold me tight
  
  Ask no questions
  I´ll tell you no lies
  Wont you believe
  I´ll stay - stay this time
  
  In the battle of all I shouldn´t have done
  My love for you
  My love for you baby won
  
  Ask no questions I´ll tell you no lies
  Won´t you believe
  I´ll stay - stay this time
  
  Lost time
  New life
  I´m holding on to what is mine
  
  Baby make me feel alright
  Baby won´t you hold me baby
  Baby won´t you hold me tight
  
  Won´t you believe

  I´ll stay
  
  Won´t you believe
  Won´t you believe
  I´ll stay

  A Different Game
  
  You walked by me yesterday
  You seemed to look away
  
  It´s time for a change
  Let´s play a different game
  ´Cause this time I´ve had enough
  
  Always great on my expence
  Now there´s a difference
  Never dared to compete with you
  I guess you never
  Wanted me to
  
  It´s time for a change
  Let´s play a different game
  ´Cause this time I´ve had enough
  
  You´re playing with lovers
  Stepping on others
  What does it matter
  Sad as ever
  Never seem to look around you
  Loneliness is close to break through
  Then you ask for me to save you
  Last time
  It´s the last time
  
  Captured by a tricky mind
  Being fooled time after time
  All your talk of precious love
  That only works
  When you get what you want
  
  It´s time for a change
  Let´s play a different game
  ´Cause this time I´ve had enough
  
  You´re playing with lovers
  Stepping on others
  What does it matter
  Sad as ever
  Never seem to look around you
  Loneliness is close to break through
  Then you ask for me to save you
  Last time
  It´s the last time
  
  You walked by me yesterday
  You seemed to look away
  I see it clearly now
  How you always
  Bring me down
  
  It´s time for a change
  Let´s play a different game
  ´Cause this time I´ve had enough
  
  You´re playing with lovers
  Stepping on others
  What does it matter
  Sad as ever
  
  Playing with lovers
  Stepping on others
  What does it matter
  Sad as ever...

  Blue Shades
  
  That´s when she goes there
  Blue shades of pale
  Running through her
  Once again
  
  Every time you turn
  It hurts me baby
  Every time you scream
  It makes me crazy
  I don´t know why
  You had to go
  
  Blue time of sorrow
  Words never said
  Running through her
  Once again
  
  Every time you turn
  It hurts me baby
  Every time you scream
  It makes me crazy
  I don´t know why
  You had to go
  
  That´s when she goes there
  Blue shades of pale
  Running through her
  Once again
  
  Every time you turn
  It hurts me baby
  Every time you scream
  It makes me crazy
  I don´t know why
  You had to go
  
  Every time you turn
  It hurts me baby
  Every time you scream
  It makes me crazy
  I don´t know why
  You had to go

  As the Story Goes
  
  She´s walking fast and she knows
  This is how her story goes
  No time for romance in her life
  He´s walking fast and he knows
  This is how his story goes
  No time for romance in his life
  
  And God looks down upon
  Lost souls lacking love
  
  So come on and take her hand
  Let flames of love
  Be all you see
  And all you feel within you
  Feel within you
  
  She´s walking fast and she knows
  This is how her story goes
  No time for romance in her life
  He´s walking fast and he knows
  This is how his story goes
  No time for romance in his life
  
  And God looks down upon
  Lost souls lacking love
  
  So come on and take her hand
  Let flames of love
  Be all you see
  And all you feel within you
  Feel within you
  
  Come on and take her hand
  Let flames of love
  Be all you see
  And all you feel within you
  Feel within you
  
  She´s walking fast and she knows
  This is how her story goes
  No time for romance in her life
  
  And God looks down upon
  Lost souls lacking love
  
  So come on and take her hand
  Let flames of love
  Be all you see
  And all you feel within you
  Feel within you
  
  Come on and take her hand
  Let flames of love
  Be all you see
  And all you feel within you
  Feel within you

  The Magic Queen
  
  In a dream quite full of wonder
  I dreamed I saw a magic queen
  No fear of love or future
  She had all her powers within
  
  Dressed in velvet gold and silver
  Flying through a clouded sky
  
  She was flying truly steady
  Through the world´s most darkest sites
  No fear of death or darkness
  Simply hadn´t got the time
  
  Dressed in velvet gold and silver
  Flying through a clouded sky
  
  She was trying even harder
  Had to reach the glowing skies
  
  She´s
  Full of life
  Full of wonder
  And that´s when she falls
  Into the sea
  
  In a dream quite full of wonder
  I dreamed I saw a magic queen
  No fear of love or future
  She had all her powers within
  
  Dressed in velvet gold and silver
  Flying through a clouded sky
  She was trying even harder
  Had to reach the glowing skies
  
  She´s
  Full of life
  Full of wonder
  And that´s when she falls
  Into the sea
  
  She´s
  Full of life
  Full of wonder
  
  And that´s when she falls
  Into the sea
  
  She was trying even harder
  Had to reach the glowing skies
  
  To the sea
  
  She´s
  Full of life
  Full of wonder
  And that´s when she falls
  Into the sea
  
  She´s
  Full of life
  Full of wonder
  And that´s when she falls
  Into the sea

  Shine
  
  Walking by the graves of fallen soldiers
  I was thinking of the human race
  Then I saw a man little of fortune
  
  I was wondering why
  Wondering why
  Wondering why
  He had come to me - he said
  
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do - he said
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do
  
  Fifty roses he collected slowly
  Sixty birds he was setting free
  There was something
  He was trying to tell me
  
  I was wondering what
  Wondering what
  Wondering what
  He would say to me - he said
  
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do - he said
  
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do
  
  Walking by the graves of fallen soldiers
  I was thinking of the world today
  Sixty years they seem to pass so quickly
  
  I was wondering what
  Wondering what
  Wondering what
  He would say to me - he said
  
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do - he said
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do
  
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do - he said
  Let your light shine through
  There´s so much good
  In the world it can do..

  Cloak of worry
  Talk of sin
  Words of trouble
  Sinking slowly in
  
  Rain
  The rain is pouring down
  
  I´m taking my shoes off, baby
  I´m checking out
  This preaching is bringing me down
  
  Cloak of worry
  Talk of sin
  Words of trouble
  Sinking slowly in
  
  Rain
  The rain is pouring down
  
  I´m taking my shoes off, baby
  I´m checking out
  This preaching is bringing me down
  
  Talk of sinners
  Talk of shame
  Lots of worry
  Who´ll be next to blame
  
  Rain
  The rain is pouring down
  
  I´m taking my shoes off, baby
  I´m checking out
  This preaching is bringing me down
  
  Rain
  Rain is pouring down
  
  Rain
  Rain is pouring down
  
  I´m taking my shoes off, baby
  I´m checking out
  Rain is pouring down
  
  Rain is pouring
  Pouring down
  
  Rain is pouring down
  
  Rain is pouring
  Pouring down
