You are young
You´re still young and you´re searching for fun
In our world there is not one thing new
Generations - they come and they go
To enjoy and to deal and to know

You can do what you want, cold or fond
Our planet will still be the same
There´s no sense and if you long for any fame
You have to accept, it´s in vain

So take God seriously, follow commandments of him
Keep in mind, He´s the Lord of the world, who judges all deeds and all sin

Oh yes, ev´rything to come, my friend, is meaningless
For youth and your verdure very fast will go by
A time to be born and a time to die
There´s a time to laugh and a time to cry
Once you´re down and once you´re high

You have dreams
You have dreams of large wealth and of health
All people will honour your name
There´s no sense and if you long for any fame
You have to accept, it´s in vain

So take God seriously, follow commandments of him
Keep in mind, He´s the Lord of the world, who judges all deeds and all sin

Oh yes, ev´rything to come, my friend, is meaningless
For youth and your verdure very fast will go by
A time to be born and a time to die
There is a time to laugh and a time to cry
Once you´re down and once you´re high

Oh yes, ev´rything to come, my friend, is meaningless
For youth and your verdure very fast will go by
A time to be born and a time to die
There is a time to laugh and a time to cry
Once you´re down and once you´re high

02 Memories (Omoidedakedewa tsurasugiru)

I thought that I knew you
I thought that I was sure
We´d spend our life
In peace and in harmony

I loved you so deeply
I could not imagine
You would go away
The very next day.

I thought that you knew me
I thought, that you were sure
We´d spend our life
In peace and in harmony.

I never was worried
I never imagined
We´d go our own way
The very next day.

But now things have changed
The past´s in the past
Those days went by fast,
Remain only memories.
I feel sad
The treasure I had
The love of my life
Belongs to the yesteryear

The times with you I´ll always miss
Our happiness
Life feels so pointless
I fall into loneliness
Tender love did no more last
The past´s in the past
Those days went by fast
Remain only memories.

I never was worried
I never imagined
We´d go our own way
The very next day.

But now things have changed
The past´s in the past
Those days went by fast,
Remain only memories.
I feel sad
The treasure I had
The love of my life
Belongs to the yesteryear

The times with you I´ll always miss
Our happiness
Life feels so pointless
I fall into loneliness
Tender love did no more last
The past´s in the past
Those days went by fast
Remain only memories.

Lord, please remember me
Hold your hands over me
I know, you will never leave me alone
You take my hands and help me stand on my own, my own

The times with you I´ll always miss
Our happiness
Life is not pointless
I don´t fall into loneliness
Although love did no more last
The past´s in the past
Those days went by fast
Remain only memories.

03 Endless hope (Tsukino shizuku)
Yoshiki Matsumoto (C), Satomi (A), Anette Schäfer (E),
Sebastian Cuthbert (BV) | With friendly permission of Nichion, Inc.

I see your face, see your smile.
In my dreams, every night you are in my mind.
Feel your hands, hear your laughter,
taste your smell and your lips on mine.

I have told you to go.
I was not strong enough to stand by your side.
Now my heart, it is broken-
'cause of loneliness,
'cause of sorrow deep inside.

I can’t go into the past.
Don’t know why, why I have gone my own way.
Now too late I realize:
I want you back,
want you back by my side.

Wanna run to you,
but there are shackles on my feet.
And now I realize,
the only chance I have:
is to let my heart flow to you,
because you have to know
that I love you so.
Yes, that is really true.

There’s no time,
there’s no place,
there’s no chance – for us now.
But there is hope that gives me strength.

May the Lord, our God, be with you all the time.
I pray that every step you take the sun will shine.
Wish that every star you see in the night
tells you: I’m waiting!
That’s what you need to know!

I have faith and hope
and the biggest love of all.
The time will come someday
to stay together with you.

04 I saw the light
Todd Rundgren (C), Todd Rundgren (A), Peter Schneider (G) |
© Screen Gems-EMI Music Inc. / Earmark Music Inc.

It was late last night.
I was feeling something wasn't right.
There was not another soul in sight
only you, only you.

So we walked along,
though I knew there was something wrong
and the feeling hit me oh so strong
about you

Then you gazed down at me
and the answer was plain to see,
'cause I saw the light in your eyes, in your eyes.

Though we had our fling,
I just never would suspect a thing,
'til that little bell began to ring
in my head, in my head

But I tried to run,
though I knew it wouldn't help me none,
'cause I couldn't ever love no one,
or so I said.

But my feelings for you
were just something I never knew
'til I saw the light in your eyes, in your eyes.

But I love you best
it's not something that I say in jest,
'cause you're different, boy, from all the rest
in my eyes

And I ran out before,
but I won't do it anymore.
Can't you see the light in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes…

05 Shower of love (Shinai)
Jin Nakamura (C), Kou Shibasaki (A), Klaus Giebeler (E) |
With friendly permission of Universal Music Publishing, Japan

When I was young, I did not know you
I lived my life without reflecting - no matter what
I did never care about you
Did not care for other people - not one thought
Stupid and blind
I was a kind of fool
Then you arranged
That my life changed, I feel born new
You are so giant, so enormous, so gigantic, superior

You shower me with love
More than enough
People cannot offer me the half
You lavish me with your grace and blessings for free
A gift, so undeserved for me

It was late, when you have called me
I wondered why you chose me –why just me
Stupid and blind
I was a kind of fool
Then you arranged
That my life changed, I feel born new
You are so giant, so enormous, so gigantic, superior

You shower me with love
More than enough
People cannot offer me the half
You lavish me with your grace and blessings for free
A gift, so undeserved for me

I´m not a very special person
Only average, not much talent – as you know
Not enough to get excited
My ability and power´s only low

You shower me with love
More than enough
People cannot offer me the half
You lavish me with your grace and blessings for free
A gift, so undeserved for me, I see

You´re loving me with all my faults
God, father, yes, I´ll follow all your calls
You lavish me with your grace and blessings for free
A gift, so undeserved for me

06 Promise me
Beverley Craven (C), Beverley Craven (A)

You light up another cigarette
And I pour the wine
It’s four o’clock in the morning
And it’s starting to get light
Now I’m right where I want to be
Losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night
You look like you’re in another world
But I can read your mind
How can you be so far away
Lying by my side
When I go away I’ll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just…

Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cause I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

When I go away I’ll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just…

Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
’cos I’ll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you’ll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I’ll be home, I’ll be home soon

07 Another chance (Wasurenagusa)
Ryoki Matsumoto (C), Kou Shibasaki (A), Klaus Giebeler (E) |
With friendly permission of Universal Music Publishing, Japan

Sitting on a chair I am lost in my thoughts
Recurring thoughts circle round my head all night and all day.
Pictures on the wardrobe still remind me of you
When all things still were o.k. – oh yeah
You smashed the door and left in rage without a word
I could not hold you back here with me
You drove away and did not turn; I only watched as you left unable to act

I want you back
I want you back
I blame it all on me. I made mistakes and now I regret, I´m very, very sorry
Darling come back
Please come back
I blame it all on me. I´m asking for a new chance, just another chance.

We had spent such good times, which I cannot forget
So happy and free we had our time all night and all day
No one else can feel the love you offered to me
Like heaven it seemed to me – oh yeah
Now you are gone and disappeared out of my sight
Is it too late? Let´s start new once more
I beg you with all my soul, please pardon me, I was wrong, I confess that I did wrong

I want you back
I want you back
I blame it all on me. I made mistakes and now I regret, I´m very, very sorry
Darling come back
Please come back
I blame it all on me. I´m asking for a new chance, just another chance.

I want you back
I want you back
I blame it all on me. I made mistakes and now I regret, I´m very, very sorry
Darling come back
Please come back
I blame it all on me. I´m asking for a new chance, just another chance.

08 Snowflower (Yukino hana):
Ryoki Matsumoto (C), Satomi (A), Eric Martin (E) |
© Sony Music Publishing (Japan) Inc.

Together hand in hand we walked through evening gloom
Long shadows on the pavement, cast from the sunset sky
If only this would last until the end of time
And if this is forever I swear that I could cry

The northern wind starts to blow
And the smell of winter’s in the air
As we take each step upon the ground
The season of love grows near

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

With you by my side, to catch me when I fall
I can cast my fears aside; feel twice as tall
If only this would last, this smile upon my face
And if this is forever, you’re my saving grace

The nights were so cold without you
And the days were always short on light
Now a fire’s warming me through
And suddenly this upturned world is feeling right

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

If there comes a time when you have lost your way
I’ll turn myself into a star to guide you through
If ever you find tears upon your face
I will be there, always be there for you

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
The city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong

Cold winds from the North blow
The sky casts its last glow
But you and I are standing strong

09 Searching for my chance (Katachi arumono)

Klaus Giebeler (E)

So many times I saw you waiting for the train
You looked so dreamy while you stood there lost in your thoughts
You did not notice all the things that happened close to you
You never noticed me and never sent a smile
My love, where have you gone to, I feel so alone
I love you so, my dear, I can´t express with words

Did you move or are you sick? My love for you is plain and big.
I was never searching for my chance, now I scold myself
Why I hesitated so, maybe ´cause you would say “no”
I was never searching for my chance, now - now I scold myself

In my dreams I heard you talk with a tender voice
All I hear now are the trains and people speaking
On the platform strangers hurry, do not see my pain
I asked God, why have you disappeared from me
My love, where have you gone to, I feel so alone
I love you so, my dear, I can´t express with words

Did you move or are you sick? My love for you is plain and big.
I was never searching for my chance, now I scold myself
Why I hesitated so, maybe ´cause you would say “no”
I was never searching for my chance, now - now I scold myself

Did you move or are you sick? My love for you is plain and big
I was never searching for my chance, now I scold myself
Why I hesitated so, maybe ´cause you would say “no”
I was never searching for my chance, now - now I scold myself

10 You are my all (Ikutsukano sora)
Jin Nakamura (C), Yasushi Akimoto (A), Anette Schäfer (E),
Sebastian Cuthbert (BV) | © 2004 by STARDUST MUSIC. INC.
& KADOKAWA PICTURES, INC.

There are moments in my life
I don`t know where to go.
I feel sad and lonely
there`s nobody I can talk to.
Nobody
who puts his hand in my hand.
Nobody
who will understand.

When I opened up my eyes
I saw you standing here.
So strong and great
you blowed away my tears.
Somebody
who trust in me.
You`re somebody who,
who will understand what I need.

You are the one, the only one
you are the light, you are the sun.
You know the truth, you show the way.
I wanna feel your strength today.

You are the love, my only love.
You are the greatest gift above.
I wanna feel you by my side.
You are the son, you are the light.

You said words to me
I have never heard before.
You sang a melody in my heart
forever more.
A melody
keeping in my mind.
This melody
I nowhere else can find.

It`s about joy and hope
about strength and truth and kindness
about love and peace
about friendship and forgiveness.
A symphony
for you and me.
A symphony that shows
shows the way how love can be.

11 Light in your eyes
Sheryl Crow, John Shanks (C), Sheryl Crow, John Shanks (A)

Something is happening
Everything's different but everything is fine yeah
This is the good stuff
Yesterday's only what you leave behind
It's only in your mind

You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

There's no use pretending
You never existed until you saw the light yeah
You're just beginning
You haven't missed it - it's all ahead of you
And you know what to do

You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes
All the light in your eyes

Here comes the world and she is beautifully mysterious
She's got it all and you say "Give it to me"

Nobody's happy
That's not the world I know outside
Where everybody hides

You gotta talk to the One who made you
Talk to the One who understands
Talk to the One who gave you
All the light in your eyes

Yeah, thank you thank you!
Yeah, everything great and small
Yeah, thank you thank you
For the light in your eyes

12 Advent (Snow song)
Traditional, Klaus Giebeler (A)

Candle light and lemon tea
Memories awake in me
It´s cold, life is old, Christmas Eve is coming soon
Jingle bells and lullabies
Gingerbread and apple pies
Endless high the starry sky, Jesus is born

Trees have started swaying
Wind is softly playing
With leaves, with my scarf, with my coat and with my hair.
Jingle bells and lullabies
Eagerness in children´s eyes
He will come, he´s the one, he is the king

Now some snow is falling
Now the snow is falling
On soil, on my head, on my shoes and everywhere
Jingle bells and lullabies
Look around, it is so nice
what a precious world, I am child and his heir.

Snow is slowly falling,
Snow is gently falling,
On grass, on my house, on the fence and everywhere.
Jingle bells and lullabies
The pond is filled with broken ice
I need the Lord as clean water and air.

Advent (Übersetzung)

Kerzenlicht und Stutenmann,
woran ich mich erinnern kann.
Eiskalt, richtig kalt, Weihnachten steht vor der Tür,
Glockenspiel und Weihnachtslieder,
so wie alle Jahre wieder.
Es ist klar, es geht das Jahr, doch Jesus kommt bald.

Draußen weht ein sanfter Wind,
heimwärts blicken Schaf und Rind
zum Stall, überall froher Schall
von Mensch und Tier.
Glockenspiel und Weihnachtslieder,
Blätter fliegen auf und nieder.
Gott ist nah, komm, sag ja, Jesus ist da.

Es beginnt zu schneien,
immer mehr zu schneien
aufs Feld, in den Wald, auf den Stall und überall.
Glockenspiel und Weihnachtslieder,
schau Dich um, vergiss nie wieder
diese große Welt. Wir sind klein, aber sein.

Fernab klingen Glocken,
es fallen dicke Flocken,
auf Gras, in den Fluss, auf das Dach und überall.
Weihnachtslied und Glockenspiele,
haben wir auch große Ziele,
komm, glaube mir, nur Gott brauchen wir.
