Hayley Westenra Hayley Westenra Lyrics
1.All I Ask of You

No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
My words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.

Say you love me
Every waking moment,
Turn my head
With talk of summertime.

Say you need me
With you now and always;
Promise me that all you say is true,
That's all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light
You're safe, no-one will find you
Your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom
A world with no more night:
And you always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.

Then say you'll share with me
One love, one life-time;
Let me lead you from your solitude.

Say you need me with you,
Here beside you,
Anywhere you go, let me go too.
Christine, that's all I ask of you.

Say you'll share with me
One love, one life-time;
Say the word and I will follow you.

Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning.
Say you love me!
You know I do.
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go, let me go too;
Love me, that's all I ask of you.


2.Ave Maria

Ave Maria gratia plena,
Dominus tecum,
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.

Sancta Maria, sancta Maria, Maria
Ora pro nobis, nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora, in hora mortis nostrae
Amen, amen.


3.Bright Eyes

Lyrics:Mike Batt
Music:Mike Batt

Is it a kind of dream
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death down-stream
Oh is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go
And what does it mean
Oh oh is it a dream?

Bright eyes burning like fire,
Bright eyes how can you close and fail
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start
Oh oh into the dark.

Bright eyes burning like fire,
Bright eyes how can you close and fail
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes.

Bright eyes,
Bright eyes.


4.God Defend New Zealand

God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet.
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand.

E Ihoa Atua,
O nga Iwi! Matoura,
Ata whakarongona;
Me aroha roa.
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa.

Men of every creed and race
Gather here before thy face,
Asking thee to bless this place,
God defend our free land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our state,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand.


5.I Dreamed a Dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder.
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came.

And still I dreamed he'd come to me,
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that can not be
And there are storms we can not weather.

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.


6.Love Changes Everything

Love, love changes everything:
Hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything:
How you live and how you die.

Love can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name.

Nothing in the world
Will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything:
Days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything:
Pain is deeper than before.

Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever.
Yes love, love changes everything,
Brings you glory, brings you shame.

Nothing in the world
Will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go,
Planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly,
All our wisdom disappears.

Love makes fools of everyone:
All the rules we make are broken.
Yes love, love changes everyone.
Live or perish in its flame.

Love will never never
Let you be the same.
Love will never never
Let you be the same.


7.Memory

Not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone.

In the lamplight the withered leaves
Collect at my feet
And the wind
Begins to moan.

Memory.
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days,
I was beautiful then.

I remember the time
I knew what happiness was,
Let the memory
Live again.

Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning.

Daylight.
I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in.

When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day
Will begin.

Burnt out ends of smoky days,
The stale cold smell of morning.
The street lamp dies, another night is over,
Another day is dawning.

Touch me.
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun.

If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is.
Look, a new day has begun.


8.Pie Jesu

Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
Dona eis requiem,
Dona eis requiem.

Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu
Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
Dona eis requiem,
Dona eis requiem.

Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei
Qui tollis peccata mundi,
Dona eis requiem,
Dona eis requiem.
Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem.


9.Somewhere(There's A Place For Us)

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Someday a time for us.
Time together with time to spare,
Time to learn, time to care.

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving,
Somewhere.

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
Somehow, someday, somewhere.

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving,
Somewhere.

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
Somehow, someday, somewhere.


10.The Mists of Islay


Ah?Lost in the mists of Islay.

Through a veil of bygone years.
Through the exile's hidden tears.
One dear vision oft appears,
Out of the mists of Islay.

Rovan-oh, oh rovan-ee
Rovan-oh, oh rovan-ee.
Evermore my heart will be.
Lost in the mists of Islay.

Waters break on rocky shore;
Sea winds sighing as of yore;
Sea birds crying as they soar,
Over the mists of Islay.

Isle mem'ry home to me,
Nevermore thy hills I'll see.
Evermore my heart will be.
Lost in the mists of Islay.

Ah?Lost in the mists of Islay
Lost in the mists of Islay
Lost in the mists of Islay.


11.Walking in The Air

We're walking in the air'
We're floating in the moonlit sky;
The people far below
Are sleeping as we fly.

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly
So high above with you.

On across the world
The villages go by like dreams,
The rivers and the hills,
The forests and the streams.

Children gaze open mouthed,
Taken by surprise;
Nobody down below
Believes their eyes.

We're surfing in the air,
We're swimming in the frozen sky,
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by.

Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep,
Rousing up a mighty monster
From his sleep.

We're walking in the air,
We're dancing in the midnight sky,
And everyone who sees us
Greets us as we fly.


12.Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

We're walking in the air'
We're floating in the moonlit sky;
The people far below
Are sleeping as we fly.

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly
So high above with you.

On across the world
The villages go by like dreams,
The rivers and the hills,
The forests and the streams.

Children gaze open mouthed,
Taken by surprise;
Nobody down below
Believes their eyes.

We're surfing in the air,
We're swimming in the frozen sky,
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by.

Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep,
Rousing up a mighty monster
From his sleep.

We're walking in the air,
We're dancing in the midnight sky,
And everyone who sees us
Greets us as we fly.
