   Three Blind Mice

   Three Blind Mice
   See how they run
   They all run after the farmer’s wife
   She cut off their tails with a carving knife
   You never did see such a thing in your life as
   Three Blind Mice

   I Think I've Loved You

   Lyrics

   I Think I've Loved You

   It’s an age old story and it always starts with
   ‘Once upon a time’
   Who’d have thought it happened
   in a world where nothing seems to go right
   And I wish y’all find the one who can make you smile
   And then life will be too good to be true

   I think I’ve loved you every single day of my life
   Before I met you, I knew something wasn’t quite right
   And then, there you were forever in my life

   You can leave me breathless
   when your softly spoken words become clear
   I’m in rhythm with you and I realize
   I’m losing all fear of our love
   We’re not afraid, gonna show the world
   That your life will be too good to be...

   True to yourself, there’s nowhere to hide
   Life just gets better
   True to the one who’s making you smile
   I just keep thinking of you

   When the tears of joy flow
   and the look of laughter shines through your eyes
   They are soft and gentle,
   Everyday with you is still a surprise
   When we share deep moments with our bodies entwined
   Life will be too good to be true

   You Are My Sunday Morning

   Lyrics

   You Are My Sunday Morning

   You are my love in this world
   and peace has come to my life
   You feel my face smiling at you
   and love is here with me tonight
   One day the sun is shining,
   I know the rose is climbing
   To take the heat of the light

   You, you are my Sunday morning
   You, you wake up me up with you’re calling
   You, you bring me joy when my day is beginning
   And you know that I’ll be, I’ll be there for you

   I’m happy that today you bring me joy
   Even though you don’t know that you do
   One day the leaves are falling
   And the next day you begin crawling
   I’m always, always here for you

   You, you are my Sunday morning
   You, you wake me up with you’re calling
   You, you bring me joy when the day is beginning
   And you know that I’ll be there
   I’ll see that I’ll be there for you oh I will yeah
   I will, I will see that I’m always be there, oh woah ah
   I will, I will, I will see you there
   I will always be, oh yeah
   Ooh, I’ll be there for you
   Morning...

   Guess I'm Really Sorry

   Lyrics

   Guess I'm Really Sorry

   Weighing up my feelings in my solitude
   I have come to thinking there’s no love for me and you
   I’ve found that I was wrong,
   I’ve been picking up the pieces of your silent words
   I have come to feel good
   Needing to feel good which had nothing to do with you

   Did you see in me the need to love, my darling
   I’ve loved you far too much
   Or were you blind to the fact and innocent my need
   to be with you

   I guess I’m really sorry you came into my life
   How could you have known about all the hurt inside
   Hurt that never dies on me, the hurt that never fails
   Endlessly in search of someone who needs me

   I will just keep walking down the lonely road,
   I will just keep moving
   I’m kicking back the dust and dirt, a prisoner on the run
   Knowing I know nothing how to deal with love
   Wondering how this good girl
   is in and out of trouble will find
   The road that leads to you
   So I think for a minute in my mind deep down I knew
   We could live a life that’s full
   But in the dead of the night I feel alone and empty
   in my soul, oh

   I guess I’m really sorry you came into my life
   How could I have seen my love, oh the hurt behind my eyes
   Breaking all the ties, although we really tried yeah,
   Oh what we are left with, a tangled web of lies.

   Wait for You

   Lyrics

   Wait for You

   Catch a fallen star and I will wait for you
   You are oh so heavy on my mind
   You’re all that I can see
   The reason why I breathe
   And I’m happy when I know that you’re around
   Glowing loving faces I cannot compare
   To the feelings that you bring to me
   Know what I have found
   I’m losing sight and sound
   I can’t believe that love has come around

   And I will wait for you, I will wait for you
   Know that you lay heavy on my mind
   N’ I will wait for you, I will wait for you
   I will wait for you

   I love the way you brighten up my darkest fears
   Knowing that you’re always on my side
   The change is so real
   Now that I can feel the love inside me ready to appear
   I just wanna hear your words of truth
   Calming all the worries on my mind
   Troubles roll away like gentle falling rain
   That cleanses you from deep inside your soul

   I will wait for you til the sun shines up the sky n’ I will wait
   I will wait for you everyday that passes by n’ I will wait
   Gonna wait for you til the stars bright in my eyes
   n’ I wait for you, for you

   I Wanna Dance with Somebody

   Lyrics

   I Wanna Dance with Somebody

   Clock strikes upon the hour
   and the sun begins to fade
   Still enough time to figure out
   how to chase my blues away
   I’ve done alright up til now
   it’s the light of day that shows me how
   And when the night falls, the loneliness calls

   I wanna dance with somebody
   I wanna feel the heat with somebody
   Yeah wanna dance with somebody
   With somebody who loves me
   I Wanna Dance With Somebody
   I wanna feel the heat with somebody
   Yeah wanna dance with somebody
   With somebody who loves me

   I’ve been in love and lost my senses
   spinning through the town
   Sooner or later the fever ends
   and I wind up feeling down
   I need a man who’ll take a chance on a love
   that burns hot enough to last
   So when the night falls, my lonely heart calls

   We Got Freedom

   Lyrics

   We Got Freedom

   Why not try to make a friend
   Freedom’s there to make amend
   Cause we got freedom
   You may think you’re all alone
   But your not alone at all
   cause we got freedom

   We are free to speak the truth
   Free to love the one you choose to love
   believe in what you feel
   We are free to stand and say exactly what we want,
   exactly what we need
   Hey babe it’s a brand new day we got sun on our face
   Everything’s OK
   I’ll smile at you if you pass my way today

   You are free to disagree
   Free to change your mind, free to explore
   these different points of view
   We are free to stand alone
   if you feel like it just walk right up and say
   ‘Hey Babe, what’s going on in your life, in your mind’,
   do you feel ok?’
   And we talked half the day away, it was good,
   it was real
   Now he smiles at me when he passes by my way,
   whoa

   You're the Reason

   Lyrics

   You're the Reason

   You’re the reason,
   You’re the reason why I love you
   You’re the reason why so many care
   You’re caught between being a child and a woman
   Not marked by time
   You can still show the signs of an innocent child
   Got a feeling, got a feeling, you’re feeling lonely
   And it’s hurting knowing he’s feeling so blue
   All these difficult choices you should’ve been making
   Torn between two
   But you don’t want to hurt anyone on the way

   Cause I see the light of your youthful smile
   You give us hope, you make life worthwhile
   When you don’t understand our vibe it’s our love

   Any bridge we’ll cross together
   Hand in hand we’ll reach the other side
   All the world is waiting for you
   It won’t be long before you’re out there x2
   You gotta be strong before you’re out there on your own

   You’re the reason,
   You’re the reason your daddy’s smiling
   And it’s hurting knowing he’s feeling so good
   Though you got him caught between hell and heaven
   He would be lost
   if he thought that his baby don’t need him no more

   Cause he sees the pain in your big bright eyes
   Working it out between truth and lies
   He will always be on your side with his love
   Chorus x2

    Music for a While '09

    Lyrics

    Music for a While '09

    Music, music for a while, shall all your cares beguile...
    Wondering, wondering how your pains were eased...
    And disdaining to be pleased
    Till Alecto free the dead,
    From their eternal, eternal bands
    Till the snakes drop from her head
    And the whip from out her hands
    Music, music for a while shall all your cares beguile...

    A Mindless Love Song

    If you’re looking for a Love-song why don’t you look at me
    And your feet won’t touch the ground
    Cause my loving will turn your love around
    It’s so good, and it’s good enough for me
    Those silly games we play I love, is that so wrong?
    Those silly things you say can really turn me on

    A Mindless Love-song
    Gonna try to make you see
    A Mindless Love-song
    You’re the sweetest thing that could have happened to me
    If you’re looking for love don’t look too long in a song
    Why don’t you look at me

    If you’re looking for salvation
    Well I can set you free
    And you can believe that the truth that you find
    Don’t lie within a song
    Look at me, and we can be free
    I love the way you make our problems disappear
    I love the way you make me smile when you are near

    And in the light of day I see you standing there
    Oh babe I wanna show how much I really care, oh

    I've Found Myself

    Lyrics

    I've Found Myself

    When I was cold, and broken down
    And wondering how to make it till tomorrow
    In my sorrow I’d often cry to see the fall
    of Autumn leaves season after season
    What’s the reason
    Every night I lay awake because
    the dawn it took too long
    And every day the toll had took it’s toil
    and I’d pray for night to come

    Just when I thought there’s no way out
    no shining light to guide me out to freedom
    I kept hearing a tiny voice deep in my soul
    It told me I had strength beyond believing
    And I believed it
    Now when I’m not feeling strong I smile the blues away
    And catch the beauty that surrounds me every day

    I’ve found myself, all by myself
    Day by day I can see a little clearer
    Now I’ve found my way

    I see the sun set through the mist behind silhouetted
    branches reaching heaven
    I’m in heaven to watch the birds fly sheltered skies
    I start to cry with tears of joy and laughter
    As I remember it was not so long ago
    I had no colour in my life
    And now I thank the Lord I listened to my soul

    Chorus x2
    I’ve found my way x3

    Now I know, I see the stars showing me their beauty,
    I see beauty and now I know the child in me
    Now I know it really is my duty, it’s my duty
    To show the world how you can turn your
    life around today
    So baby, listen to what I have got to say

    Download track Lyrics

    You Don't Know Me

    You give your hand to me
    And then you say ‘Hello’
    And I can hardly speak
    My heart is beating so
    And anyone can tell
    You think you know me well
    but you don’t know me

    Oh you don’t know the one
    Who dreams of you at night
    And longs to kiss your lips
    and longs to hold you tight
    To you, I’m just a friend,
    That’s all I’ve ever been
    And you don’t know me

    I never knew the art of making love
    Though my heart aches with love for you
    I’m afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
    A chance that you may love me too

    You give your hand to me
    And then you say Goodbye
    I watch you walk away
    And my heart wonders why
    And you will never know
    The one who loves you so
    And you don’t know me
