I Feel The Same
03:10
|
|||
I found the answer to all of my problems
In your invitation that I received
For my life was pretty bare without you there
But with you here I’m completely relieved
And the future was but a seed in the wind
Floating freely without any cares
But now we’re sailing along and sharing this song
With no destination but at least we’re a pair
And whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
Yeah whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
And have you ever felt this sense of ambition
In our ability to live out our dreams?
Well it may come as no surprise, but when I look in your eyes
I know I already have all I need
And whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
Yeah whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
And nobody is nobody
For each of us have meaning being here
And everybody is somebody
Yeah this is true no matter what you hear
And nobody is nobody
This is a phrase that I truly believe
And everybody is somebody
Yeah we’re only limited by the size of our dreams
And whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
Yeah whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
And whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same
Yeah whether you’re going away or deciding to stay,
Just know that I feel the same

99 Steps Of Love
03:23
|
|||
In Slovenia, there’s an island
You can get there by boat
The rental is cheap
If you know how to row
There’s a chapel in the center
Where lovers often go
To prove their commitment
For all the world to know
It’s the 99 steps of love
Oh the 99 steps of love
We could go there together
I could carry you to the top
Of the 99 steps of love
Mountains rise around the lake
Their rippled peaks like teeth
Gnawing at the clouds above
While their bodies give home to the trees
Beneath these rippled mountains
Lie the waters of Lake Bled
Here on the island you can find the chapel
Where many desire to wed
Above the 99 steps of love
Oh the 99 steps of love
We could go there together
I could carry you to the top
Of the 99 steps of love

These Days
04:06
|
|||
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.
I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.
I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.
I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

Luxembourg City
03:27
|
|||
I fell in love the other day; yeah I saw a dream come true
And I think this might be it for me, for I know not what to do
Should I stay or go I ask myself; I make an offer to the wind
For I do believe there’s nothing else for it’s here I’d love to live
Luxembourg City
Oh I can’t get you out of my mind
Luxembourg City
Why did it take such a long time?
For us to find each other and now we have the rest of our lives
Oh Luxembourg City, I could never leave you behind
And my heart now is longing for you only you
And I’ve never felt this sense of belonging that I now do
Oh it’s you that I desire, for there’s nothing more that I require
Than to be here with you as the one that you inspire
Luxembourg City
Oh I can’t get you out of my mind
Luxembourg City
Why did it take such a long time?
For us to find each other and now we have the rest of our lives
Oh Luxembourg City, I could never leave you behind
And I could hold this conversation until there’s nothing left to say
And I could stay out late with you until the night turns into day
And never could I ever have enough will that I could stray
From you now that I have known you face-to-face
Luxembourg City
Oh I can’t get you out of my mind
Luxembourg City
Why did it take such a long time?
For us to find each other and now we have the rest of our lives
Oh Luxembourg City, I could never leave you behind

Always Like This
04:38
|
|||
Such a delightful experience it is to travel with you by my side
Alone together with each other, oh it’s such a beautiful life
With our dreams fulfilled consistently and endlessly all of the time
And normal has become incredible when our steps are in rhyme
And I hope life is always like this
With every moment a slice of bliss
Oh how I could never get enough
Of your love
And it’s strange to think that I existed before I met you
Oh how did I live a life without? Oh what did I do?
I was waiting I guess, perhaps for you to arrive
For this perfect moment in which the future’s so bright
And I hope life is always like this
With every moment a slice of bliss
Oh how I could never get enough
Of your love
And without you would be, oh I don’t even want to wait and see
For that’s not the life for me, yeah I’d prefer to live in this dream
In a life of simplicity, where we have each other and that’s all that we need
So take my hand and believe, that our love is all that we need
Our love is all that we need
Oh love is all that we need
Oh love is all that we need…
