You're Everything

Lyrics
In my life nothing seems so right
as to be with you
And when I'm with you I always sing
You're everything
And as time goes by floating like a bird am I
Even songbirds I know all sing
You're everything
Oh days are so much fun
For those who know that in love all life's a game
And as we go dancing through the sun
In love
And as time goes by floating like a bird am I
Even songbirds I know all sing
You're everything

EverySong

Every Song that I sing seems to have a message about what I have to do
In my life I have to find out and be with myself to realize what is true
For me and I fall down and get up believing I must keep on not knowing that I'll be
Alright, even though I feel like I don't know where to go so I can be free
Every song I sing
Every note I play
Every word I write
Every mystery in by brain will be brought to light
In every song
Every song that I sing makes me think about the lessons my life receives
From the music I feel grounded in the fascination of who I am to be
As I grow into my true self I have to write about my journey
Of every step that I make into effervescent consciousness blooming
Every song I sing
Every note I play
Every word I write
Every mystery in by brain will be brought to light
In every song

O Cantador

English:
Like a lover the morning sun
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
You're smile is soft and drowsy as you let it play upon your face
Oh how I dream I might be the morning sun to you
Oh how I dream I might be the morning sun to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
Let it be me my love
And a table that feels your fingertips
Let it be me let me be your love
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
Without you
Like a lover the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
It's light arrives on tiptoe gently taking you in its embrace
Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you
Oh how I dream I might be like the velvet moon to you

Each of Us Is a Flower

Each of us is a flower
Growing in life's garden
Each of us is a flower
We need the sun and rain
(repeat)
Sun shine your warmth on me
Moon cool me with your night
Wind bring the gentle rain
Earth dig my roots down deep
Each of us is a flower
Growing in life's garden
Each of us is a flower
Growing in life's garden
Each of us is a flower
Growing in life's garden
Each of us is a flower
We need the sun and rain

So Many Stars
07:18
|

|
The dawn is filled with dreams so many dreams which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which dream of all the dreams when there's a dream for every star
And there are oh, so many stars, so many stars
The dawn is filled with songs so many songs which one is mine
One must be right for me
Which song of all the songs, when there's a song for every star
And there are oh so many stars, so many stars
Alone the countless days
The endless nights that I have searched
So many eyes, so many hearts
So many smiles
Which way to choose which way to go
How can I tell, how can I know
Out of oh, so many stars, so many stars

Something Wonderful
05:56
|

|
He will not always say what you would have him say
But now and then he'll say something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams that won't come true
You know that he believes in them and that's enough for you
You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong he is wonderful
He'll always need your love and so he'll get you love
A man who needs your love can be wonderful
