PRELUDE TO THE SUN
Out of the darkness
Shining above me
Brighter than morning
You are the sun
Naked as music
Gentle as rain is
You are the song
That wakes up my heart
Naked as music
Gentle as rain is
You are the song
That wakes up my heart
Prelude to the morning sun
You are the chorus
Bringing in the dawn again
Love is shining
In the glorious morning
Singing in my heart
Love is shining
In the glorious morning
Singing in my heart

DANCE WITH ME
Would you come
If I asked you to dance with me
To put on your dancing shoes
And share a romance with me
We will move
In time to our beating hearts
To a song that once it starts
I know will forever entrance me
Swept away
On silver-lined clouds with you
We'll bend the rain to purple
Orange and lilac from blue
In your arms I will follow you
To the end of time
And then I'll dance with you again
So please say
You're ready to dance with me
To take a chance with me
On our romance

CHIAROSCURO
Touching the light that love makes
I find you in the darkness
Knowing the soft of your skin
Feeling your heartbeat within
I'm moved by the hold of your hand
The warmth of a woman and man
Together
Held in the quiet of your embrace
Touched by the softness of your face
Watching the deep of your sleep
Hoping that you're mine to keep
Holding the love that's been born
Up to the light of the dawn

EN ARANJUEZ CON TU AMOR
Come with me
To a time that might have been
And all those moments
That should have been
But never were to be
And words unspoken
Of what you were to me
And almost memories
Of nowhere scenes
Return, sing to me
Once more in a breeze
Come back even if it's
Only in a dream
And take a hand unheld in life
Of a girl
Of a girl with a dream
Of what might have been

SUNRISE
Winter brings spring to me
Nightingale sings to me
From the dark of the night
Comes the light of the fire
And the warmth of a new day
To light up the dawn
Summer brings fall to you
Hear my song call to you
In the blush of the morning,
The hush of the evening that's fated
Has waited to bring me to you
It's sunrise, the morning
A new love is dawning

BEYOND THE BLUE
Thanks to you, I know
That love comes true
That love, exists, it's real
And I can feel it now
Love doesn't only live in dreams
It's here. It's you
Out of a dark and cold starless sky
Beyond the blue
Believe that love
Just like a half forgotten song
That we both almost knew
Will return, to sing, in me
And you

THE DARKNESS OF YOUR EYES
Reflected in the darkness of your eyes
I feel that I belong to you
Within the tender shelter of your arms
I'll always love and long for you
Lost within the deepness of your kiss
A wordless song of love in blue
I'm drowning in an endless sea of bliss
Where you are me and I am you

NOA'S DREAM
Beautiful dreamer
Your heart is a skylark
Serenading the dawn
Taking you higher than you ever dared
To dream of flying before
Reaching to the moon and stars
The clouds go tumbling by
Leaving the rain behind
As you fly toward the sun
The song of your heart is strong
A poem of love just made
Your beautiful serenade

BRAND NEW DAY
In the midst of every storm
When all around is cold and gray
In the deepest dark of night
Believe the promise
Of a brand new day
It may be out of sight
But keep holding tight
Today will turn to yesterday
Out of the sorrow
Will come tomorrow's new life
A new love, a new day
Then once more by the grace of light
We'll dance in the bright
Of a brand new day
