The Best Of Pure Voice

Hayley Westenra The Best Of Pure Voice Lyrics
1.Amazing Grace

Writer(s):Traditional

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.


When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.


2.Shiroi Irowa Koibitono Iro

Writer(s):Kazuhiko Kato

White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love
White is the colour of petals that fell
Oh, the sweet lily smell

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Blue is the colour of first love
Oh, the colour of our love
Blue as the sky on a clear summer's day
On the meadows we lay

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Red is the colour of memories
Oh, the colour of the seas
Glowing in red from the sky above
When you gave back my love

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love


3.I Am A Thousand Winds

Writer(s):Man Arai

Don't stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Don't stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I am the swift rush of birds in flight
Soft stars that shine at night

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Don't stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow


4.Summer Rain

Writer(s):Jeffrey B Franzel

Days of burning sun
Watch the colours run
Into pools that catch the eye
Disappear as you pass by

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know
That I'll see you again
And I know
That I'll see you again

Hear my prayer
Answer my call
Breathe life into my soul
I am waiting for you to show
Come and hold me so

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know
That I'll see you again
And I know
That I'll see you again

Dreams of a day with you
Fading away...

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know, and I know, and I know
That I'll see you again
And I know, and I know, and I know
That I'll see you again

Summer rain

You're my summer rain
And I know, and I know, and I know
That I'll see you again
And I know, and I know, and I know
That I'll see you again

Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Summer rain

Oh...
Oh...
Oh...
Summer rain


5.Prayer

Writer(s):Rolf L

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

7.Dell'amore Non Si Sa

feat. Andrea Bocelli
Writer(s):Andrea SandriLeonardo De BernardiniMauro Malavasi

Speak to my heart, tell that you know
The pain of my longing, it seems to whirl
Speak, oh my star,
Tell me if he will come
August night full of desire
Search for my love I hold this fire
Wanting an angel to smile walking by my way

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To explain it
But you, my starbright friend
Please tell me if he will stay

Dell'amore non si sa
Quando viene o se ne va
Dell'amore non si sa
Quando sara
Da dove arrivera

My brother star straight from my dream
Speak to me until morning is dawning
Tell me it's true
??

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To attain this
But you are who tell me
All things, only the truth

Dell'amore non si sa
Quando viene o se ne va
Dell'amore non si sa
Ma quando amore arrivera
Tutto intorno cambiera
Nella notte brillera

Tutto cambiera
Tutto rivivra con te


8.Time To Say Goodbye

feat. Russell Watson
Writer(s):Francesco Sartori

Quando sono sola
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
si lo so che non c'e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole,
se non ci sei tu con me, con me.
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai accesso,
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada.

Time to say goodbye. Con te partiro.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso si li vivro.
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono piu,
it's time to say goodbye. con te io li vivro.

Quando sei lontana
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
e io si lo so
che sei con me, con me,
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,
mio sole tu sei qui con me,
con me, con me, con me.

Time to say goodbye. -- Con te partiro.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso si li vivro.
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono piu,

con te io li rivivro.
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono piu,
con te io li rivivro.
Con te partiro

10.Pokarekare Ana

Writer(s):Traditional

Pokarekare ana
Nga wai o Waiapu
Whiti atu koe hine
Marino ana e

E hine e
Hoki maira
Kamate au
I te aroha e

Tuhituhi taku rita
Tuku atu taku ringi
Kia kiti to iwi
Raru raru ana e

E hine e
Hoki maira
Kamate au
I te aroha e

Stormy are the waters
Of restless Waiapu
If you cross them, girl
They will be calmed

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

I write you my letter
I send you my ring
So your people can see
How troubled I am

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you


11.Danny Boy

Writer(s):Traditional

Oh, Danny boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen
And down the mountain side

The summer's gone
And all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you
Must go and I must bide

But come ye back
When summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow
And I'll be here
In sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy
Oh, Danny boy
I love you so

And if you come
When all the flowers are dying
And I am dead
As dead I well may be

You'll come and find
The place where I am lying
And kneel and say
An 'Ave' there for me

But I will hear
Though soft you'll tread above me
And all my dreams
Will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail
To tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace
Until you come to me

I'll simply sleep in peace
Until you come to me...


12.Songbird

Writer(s):Christine McVie

For you, there'll be no more crying,
For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when I'm with you,
Its alright, I know its right

To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.

And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.

And I wish you all the love in the world,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.

And the songbirds keep singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.


13.Now Is The Hour - Po Atarau / Haere Ra

Writer(s):Clement Scott

Po atarau
E moea iho nei
E haere ana
Koe ki pamamao
Haere ra
Ka hoki mai ano
Ki i te tau
E tangi atu nei

Now is the hour,
when we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing,
far across the sea.
While you're away,
Oh please remember me.
When you return,
you'll find me waiting here.

Ah~

Now is the hour,
when we must say goodbye

When you return,
you'll find me waiting here.

When you return,
you'll find me waiting here.
