Chris De Burg: A Rainy Night In Paris

Lyrics:

It's a rainy night in Paris,

And the harbour lights are low.

He must leave his love in Paris

Before the winter snow;



On a lonely street in Paris

He held her close to say,

We'll meet again in Paris

When there are flowers on the Champs-Elysees.



How long she said How long,

And will your love be strong,

When you're across the sea,

Will your heart remember me?...



Then she gave him words to turn to,

When the winter nights were long,

Nous serons encore amoureux

Avec les couleurs du printemps...



And then she said And then,

Our love will grow again.

Ah but in her eyes he sees

Her words of love are only words to please...



And now the lights of Paris

Grow dim and fade away,

And I know by the light of Paris

I will never see her again...

Aranjuez Mon Amour

Lyrics:

Mon amour, sur l'eau des fontaines, mon amour

Ou le vent les amènent, mon amour

Le soir tombé, qu'on voit flotté

Des pétales de roses



Mon amour et des murs se gercent mon amour

Au soleil au vent à l'averse et aux années qui vont passant

Depuis le matin de mai qu'ils sont venus

Et quand chantant, soudain ils ont écrit sur les murs du bout de leur fusil

De bien étranges choses



Mon amour, le rosier suit les traces, mon amour

Sur le mur et enlace, mon amour

Leurs noms gravés et chaque été

D'un beau rouge sont les roses



Mon amour, sèche les fontaines, mon amour

Au soleil au vent de la plaine et aux années qui vont passant

Depuis le matin de mai qu'il sont venus

La fleur au cœur, les pieds nus, le pas lent

Et les yeux éclairés d'un étrange sourire



Et sur ce mur lorsque le soir descend

On croirait voir des taches de sang

Ce ne sont que des roses !

Aranjuez, mon amour

Chris De Burg: Saint Peter's Gate

Lyrics:

I was lost in the dark,

And the fear was in my heart,

All around me the forest and the rain,

Then with the flash of a light, I saw it in the night,

I must be getting near - Saint Peter's Gate!



When I went through the door, he was standing in the hall,

An old man with a beard of shining white,

He said I've been expecting you, let me show you to your room,

And he took me all the way by candlelight,

And lying there on the bed, a book, black & red,

My name was written on the front in gold,

And when I opened it up, there were pictures of my life,

And a voice began to call from down below;



Nobody will get through, nobody,

Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,

Nobody will be spared, Heaven is only there,

For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.



Come with me said that old man, as he took me by the hand

There is someone here that you have seen before,

In this room on the left, a man who did his best,

To bring joy and happiness to one and all;



But in that room on the right, a dictator in life,

We've been waiting for him here,as you can tell,

For all the blood he's spilled,

And for all the ones he's killed,

We condemn him to eternity in hell;



Nobody will get through, Nobody,

Not even you, can escape the Judgement Day,

Nobody will be spared,Heaven is only there,

For the ones who satisfy them at - Saint Peter's Gate.



I woke up with the dawn, there was someone in my room,

A woman, like an angel all in white,

And then she told me You must run, for your time has yet to come,

Go now, before they change their minds,



And from the window I saw,

A thousand or more,

Bringing that dictator to his knees,

And his cries broke the sound,

Of my footsteps on the ground,

As I made it to the safety of the trees:



Nobody will get through,

Nobody not even you,

Can escape the judgement day,

Nobody will be spared,

Heaven is only there,

For the ones who satisfy them at...

Saint Peters Gate.



Nobody will get through,

Nobody not even you,

Can escape the judgement day,

Nobody will be spared,

Heaven is only there,

For the ones who satisfy them at,

St Peters Gate.

Sinead O'Connor: Love Is Ours

Lyrics:

your gentle love

is everything i dreamed of

since i first heard of love

so long ago

so long ago

when there was only fear

and it still lives inside me here

like a bad friend i don't want near

who wears the scars

of the war between me and the stars

the mother and father of wars

look in my heart

my raging heart

the one that's still smashed all apart

my raging heart

is just like yours

but if the truth be told

it's time for all those things to get old

and time to let go

of pain, fear

and anything that don't keep happiness near

for love is ours

god knows we are in it with our hearts

will you love my heart

the one that's still smashed all apart

my raging heart

will you love my heart

like i love your heart

your tender gentle heart

your heart that's still so soft

let love be ours, ours, ours

let love be ours

my aching heart

my aching heart
