Only now I know of time
For too long I have
Drifted, never turning back
Now I am standing, the tide
Drawing me
I never felt so weak,
'Cos you mean everything to me.

Only now I feel your love
Golden, burning
Covering just like a glove
I feel the warmth of your gaze
Over me
Never felt such tranquility inside of me

And like a distant dream I see
The blossom vanishing
Just as each bud finally is blossoming
And I watch each petal dance
It's way over to me
They fall
They fall
They fall
All around me

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I'm searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where our memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

Only now do I see you
In the way that other people do
I see you clearer than before
And love you more
I never knew that I would feel this way

And like a distant dream I see
The blossom vanishing
Just as each bud finally is blossoming
And I watch each petal dance
It's way over to me
They fall
They fall
They fall
All around me

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever I'm searching for the light
On a cloud away from time
Where our memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see

I am here with you
You are here with me
Your smile and your loving face
Is everything I see
And, in this town
The memories you left behind
Swirl round and around
And forever, I'm searching for the light
On a cloud away form time
Where our memories can shine
Wait for me and we can live them all
Again

Together for a lifetime
I was so sure you'd always be mine
An ocean never ending
Now the tide has turned I fear

Wondering how to live life without you
Trying to find something to hold onto
Without you... woah, ah, ah, ah...

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feel some of your love, woah
Can you see in the blackened sky
This crescent moon, drifting way up high?
Wherever you may be tonight
I hope you see this moon bright
Woah...

You said we'd stay together
All the hard times we could weather
But I felt words unspoken
Now our ending line is clear

Wondering how to live life without you
Trying to find something to hold onto
Without you... woah, ah, ah, ah...

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feel some of your love

I am seeing things not seen before
I am reaching out for something more
Still your arms around me
They keep me warm
I'm finding it so hard to move on

I keep my eyes on the road ahead
Through all the tears that my eyes have shed
And then I look up to the sky above
Hoping to feel some of your love, woah
Can you see in the blackened sky
This crescent moon, drifting way up high?
Wherever you may be tonight
I hope you see this moon bright

Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

Mother,so kind
You gave everthing to me
A torch to hold
A heart of gold
Words to live for,to help me
You said love to not forget
Being young I did not understand
But you held my hand,
Walked along with me

Dreams are always up high
Hanging from our reach
But that's what keeps us striding on
Through clouds of uncertainty

This road is my story
Why would I give up?
What have I to lose?
Blank pages before me
Are crying out for words

Mother,so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

Mother,so kind
I apologize for the times
I turned away

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

Oh Iook down upon your feet
This road is yours to take
Look ahead,
That is yours too
All the stars shine brightly
to guide you
Reach out,this hand is here for you

I can see in front of me
A sky of colours
From,red to gold

Reach out,reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out,reach out this hand is here to guide you
Reach out,reach out this hand is here to hold you
Reach out,reach out this hand is here to guide you

Twenty years of my life, just like a star in the night
She lit my way, and watched me as I lay
When the tears were abound, she would turn me back around
Oh, Mama cant you see, you mean everything to me

Stormy times when I fell down
Shed lift me from the ground
Put the fire back inside of me
She never let me down

The days we cried, the days we laughed
Even the days we fought
The times we wiled away hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, our time, is always on my mind
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
Mama, can you hear, whispers in the air?
Arigato

Shattered pieces on the ground
Fallen without any sound
Yet you still could hear them fall
The shattered mirror ball

Helping re-build again
Towering so tall again
I can see my dreams
And touch the stars

Short words and my insolence
Sorry if I wore you down
Now I see all you gave me
I will never let you down

The days we cried, the days we laughed
Even the days we fought
The times we wiled away hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please dont cry, you helped me to fly
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
Mama, our dream, lives on in me forever

The torch you gave to me
I hold for all to see
It helps me through bad weather
The warmth is comforting
I know youre here
Your up above
The sky shimmers with love
My heart
Lies open
To you my shining star

The days we cried, the days we laughed
Even the days we fought
The times we wiled away hours on our deepest thoughts

Mama, please dont cry, you helped me to fly
The nights when shadows chased me around my room
You laid beside me, pulled me from my gloom
Mama, can you hear, whispers in the air?
Arigato
Arigato

Sweet cosmos in a pink shadow
In the warm daylight you glow
Just like my Mama
Bathed in a gentle yellow
She is fragile,
I love her so

Together we sit in the sun
We turn album pages one by one
Mama tells me stories like it's the end
She tells them like we'll never meet again

And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care

Memories are running round and round
How I wish I could go back now
To the times I didn't realise your love
To the times I kept to myself

Leaving with my many bags
I can tell from your eyes you are sad
That I must go, but it is time
It is time
My love, my love, will stay behind

And on this warm autumn day we stand
Mother, daughter hand in hand
Our love burns brighter than before
And then you tell me to take care
Tell me not to fear
Tomorrow, my wedding, my leaving here
Take care

Gentle child, you have my love
Born to this world from heaven above
Light in your eyes
Breath in your cry
You are an angel
Sent from the sky

Irayo hey, irayo hooi
Irayo, oh, my loving child
Don't cry baby
Hey yo hey yo
The light above
Will keep blessing you
Grow strong baby
Hey yo hey yo
I am watching over you

On summer days when sun burns strong
I will fan you, keep you cool
On winter nights when ice winds blow
I will hold you, keep you close

Irayo hey, irayo hooi
Irayo, oh, my loving child
Don't cry baby
Hey yo hey yo
The light above
Will keep blessing you
Grow strong baby
Hey yo hey yo
I am watching over you

Stormy clouds may surround
Serpentine, follow us around
We must carry on with the light
Held in our hearts, glowing bright

Irayo hey, irayo hooi
Irayo, oh, my loving child
Don't cry baby
Hey yo hey yo
The light above
Will keep blessing you
Grow strong baby
Hey yo hey yo
I am watching over you

A voice calls softly
It calls from within
To trust my steps
And to keep on dreaming

Around night falls and all turns to grey
But I hold a light to light my way

The sky is a clear blue
no matter what we do
The road is long
But I see the light
That shines at the end
the arms reaching in
I know that you are waiting for me

Though sorrows, troubles
may gather up high
Broken glass pieces
fall from the sky
Memories though sad
Will hold something true
Shattered glass pieces
Reflect something new

la, la, la...
oo...noo...

A voice calls softly
It calls from within
To trust my steps
And to keep on dreaming

Around night falls and all turns to grey
But I hold a light deep in my heart
I knew you were waiting right from the start

la, la, la...
oo...noo...

So to the sky let us bloom like flow'rs of love
Even the clouds cannot shawdow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will com true
I look upon your face and into your sad eyes
I see the crosses your bear
But you are still to young
And with so many years to come
You have to many cares
When you have so far to go it is easy to blind
To all that keeps us marching on
And to what we are out to find
So to the sky let us bloom like flow'rs of love
Even the clouds cannot shawdow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will com true
The mornung comes without fail
It never wait for me
The sun shine stoo brightly
I'm always late out the door
I'm always wanting more
That;s every day forme
But then I see your smile
And I feel the warmth in your heart
The colours all around shine brighter
Now can you feel summer here at least?
So to the sky let us bloom like flow'rs of love
Even the clouds cannot shawdow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will com true
Today you may feel that there is a hole in your heart
But if youjust keep holding on
One dayyou'll find that missing part
So to the sky let us bloom like flow'rs of love
Even the clouds cannot shawdow our endless love
You just keep reaching to the stars above
And believe your dreams will com true
