ON THE HUMID EVENING

 

On the humid evening

The heady cloying perfume

Of red camellias

Filled the air

Confusing the senses

And amidst the scent of desire

I found in the moonlight

I was falling in love with her

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (9)

 

From the stormy southern isles

To the exotic land of smiles

I will carry with me a constant love

Over the distant countless miles

AWE AND WONDER

 

Awe and wonder

Fills my heart

As I stare at her,

I dream a dream

Of what could be

One day,

She could be mine,

Or maybe not

But it costs me nothing

Just to dream

LEAVE THIS WORLD WITH ME

 

Leave this world with me

And together you and I,

Will discover the universe

And explore the heavens

Until our souls forever join

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD (8)

 

From Tierra del Fuegos archipelago

To the land of the rising sun

I will follow you to the ends of the earth

Because for me you’re the only one

HOW I WAS FOOLED BY YOUR DISGUISE

 

How I was fooled by your disguise

When at the very start

You had summer in your eyes

But you had winter in your heart

I WILL LIFT YOU UP

I will lift you up

On the days

When you are blue

I will reach up

And touch a rainbow

And capture it for you
