Strings in the earth and air
Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
The willows meet.
There’s music along the river
For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle
Dark leaves on his hair.
All softly playing,
With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
Upon an instrument.

All of You

I love the looks of you, the lure of you
I'd love to make a tour of you
The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you
The east, west, north and the south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
And handle even the heart and soul of you
So, Love at least a small percent of me do
Yes, I love all of you
I love the looks of you, the lure of you
I'd love to make a tour of you
The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you
The east, west, north and the south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
And handle even the heart and soul of you
So, love at least a small percent of me, do
Cause I love all of you

Dream, dream, she would like to dream
And fly away from thoughts that keep her
Up, up, she’d like to go way up
And dance with till dawn.
Where flowers bloom and songs of birds
Continue through the night,
She follows to discover words
Within her saying
Breathe, breathe, don’t forget to breathe
When dusk comes by tonight
Why don’t you leave your worried mind behind
And say good night

Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair,
I heard you singing
A merry air.
My book is closed;
I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
On the floor.
I have left my book:
I have left my room:
For I heard you singing
Through the gloom,
Singing and singing
A merry air.
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair.

I know he's around
When the sky and the ground start in ringing
I know that he's near
By the thunder I hear in advance
His words, his words alone
Are the words that can start my heart singing
And his is the only music that makes me dance
He'll sleep and he'll rise
In the light of two eyes that adore him
Bore him it might
But he won't leave my sight for a glance
In every way, every day, I need less of myself
And need more him, more him
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance

Dear Friend

Hello again
It’s been a while
It’s you who makes me cry
It’s you who makes me smile
You who keeps me on my tiptoes
You who brings me through the day
Like a summer sun
That shows up in May
Oh you again
Knocking on my doors
You steal my sleep
And keep in those palms of yours
In the middle of the night
You paint your thoughts upon my mind
And when you’re gone
You leave me restless behind
I’ll send you to the end of the world
Far away, where your troubles can’t be heard
Where no-one knows your temptations
Where no-one falls for your charms
Where you will long to be in my arms
Hello dear friend
drink up you wine
feel comfortable
in this modest mind of mine
All that fog you swirl around me
All the noise you bring inside
I’ll let it tuck me in tonight.

Wives and Lovers

Hey! Little Girl
, comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you
Day after day
there are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here
Hey! Little girl
, better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love

Once there was a princess
Was the princess you?
And she fell in love
Was it hard to do?
It was very easy
Anyone could see that the prince was charming
The only one for me
Was he strong and handsome?
Was he big and tall?
There's nobody like him
Anywhere at all
Did he say he love you?
Did he steal a kiss?
He was so romantic
I could not resist
Someday my prince will come
Someday we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know
Someday when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Someday when my dream come true

Don't talk of stars burning above
If you're in love, show me!
Tell me no dreams filled with desire
If you're on fire, show me!
He we are together in the middle of the night
Don't talk of spring, just hold me tight
Anyone who's ever been in love will tell you that
This is no time for a chat!
Haven't your lips longed for my touch?
Don't say how much, show me, show me!
Don't talk of love lasting through time
Make me no undying vow, show me now!
Sing me no song, read me no rhyme
Don't waste my time, show me
Don’t talk of June, don’t talk of fall,
Don’t talk at all, show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word
There isn't one I haven't heard!
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream
Say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms hungered for mine?
Please don't explain, show me, show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow, show me now!

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in you arms
Of course I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh
that is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy, what a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store, should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should
never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

Every time we say goodbye, I die a little
Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me, who must be in the known,
Think so little of me, they allow you to go
When you’re near, there’s such an air of spring above me
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There’s no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye.
