Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely

Hey there Delilah
what's it like in new york city
I'm a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
yes you do
time square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
give this song another listen
close your eyes
listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
what you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are gettin hard
but just believe me girl
someday i'll pay the bills with this guitar
we'll have it good
we'll have the life we knew we would
my word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
if every simple song i wrote to you
would take your breath away
I'd write it all
even more in love with me you'd fall
we'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
but they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if i had no other way
our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
that none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
that by the time that we get through
the world will never ever be the same
and you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
you be good and don't you miss me
two more years and you'll be done with school
and I'll be makin history like I do
you know it's all because of you
we can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah heres to you
this ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
what you do to me

You're what I couldn't find

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

I want more (impossible to ignore)
(impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
(impossible not to do)
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
A dream to me...

What have I got to do to be heard?

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

So close, no matter how far

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

It never seemed so right before.

I know i stand in line,
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me.

And if we go someplace to dance,
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me.

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two.
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you".

I can see it in your eyes,
That you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before.

And though it's just a line to you,
For me it's true
It never seemed so right before.

I practice every day,
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through.

But then I think I'll wait,
Until the evening gets late,
And I'm alone with you.

The time is right, your perfume fills my head,
The stars get red
And, oh, the night's so blue.

And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
...

É sempre mais feliz quem mais amou

Hey!
Não ande inventando por aí,
Histórias e mentiras sobre mim,
Eu que tanto amei.

Hey!
Um dia o passado vai dizer,
O tipo de mulher que foi você,
E que eu ajudei.

Hey!
Se um dia eu lhe fiz algum favor,
Não esqueça que eu o fiz por um amor,
Que eu pensava existir.

Hey!
Você brincou demais com o coração,
Jogou pela janela uma ilusão,
Que um dia senti.

Eu sei,
Você nunca me quis, agora eu sei,
Fingia que me amava e eu te amei,
Foi só por um orgulho, esse querer.

Eu sei,
Você me sofucou uma emoção,
Não tem sentido mais nossa união,
Preciso te esquecer.

Hey!
Não pense que lhe guardo algum rancor,
É sempre mais feliz quem mais amou,
E esse sempre fui eu.

Hey!
Se um dia eu errei foi sem querer,
Você errou bem mais para saber,
E esse amor não valeu.

Eu sei,
Você nunca me quis, agora eu sei,
Fingia que me amava e eu te amei,
Foi só por um orgulho, esse querer.

Eu sei,
Você nunca me quis, agora eu sei,
Fingia que me amava e eu te amei,
Foi só por um orgulho, esse querer.

...

But if you never try, you'll never know

Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

There's just too much that time cannot erase

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me

I can't live with or without you

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

Oh my love, my darling, i've hungered for your touch

Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea, yeah!
Lonely rivers sigh "wait for me, wait for me"
I'll be coming home,
Wait for me.

Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered,
Hungered for your touch
A long lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I...
I need your love
God speed your love to me

So high that I could almost see eternity

I cried a tear
You wiped it dry
I was confused
You cleared my mind
I sold my soul
You bought it back for me
And held me up and gave me dignity
Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength

To stand alone again
To face the world
Out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
You needed me
You needed me

And I can't believe it's you I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
And I'll never leave, why should I leave
I'd be a fool
'Cause I've finally found someone who really cares

You held my hand
When it was cold
When I was lost
You took me home
You gave me hope
When I was at the end
And turned my lies
Back into truth again
You even called me friend

Só assim, sinto você bem perto de mim... Outra vez

Você foi,
O maior dos meus casos
De todos os abraços,
O que eu nunca esqueci

Você foi, dos amores que eu tive,
O mais complicado e o mais simples p'ra mim
Você foi o melhor dos meus erros
A mais estranha história que alguém já escreveu
E é por essas e outras
Que a minha saudade faz lembrar de tudo outra vez

Você foi
A mentira sincera,
Brincadeira mais séria que me aconteceu
Você foi o caso mais antigo,
O amor mais amigo que me apareceu
Das lembranças que eu trago na vida
Você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter
Só assim, sinto você bem perto de mim... outra vez

Me esqueci de tentar te esquecer,
Resolvi te querer por querer
Decidi te lembrar quantas vezes eu tenho a vontade sem nada a perder, ah!

Você foi,
Toda a felicidade,
Você foi a maldade que só me fez bem
Você foi o melhor dos meus planos e o maior dos enganos que eu pude fazer

Das lembranças que eu trago na vida
você é a saudade que eu gosto de ter
Só assim, sinto você bem perto de mim... outra vez

Olho‑te e amo‑te e não te possuo nunca

A. — Quisera saber como és feito por dentro ... Como é a tua vontade por dentro, que coisas há naquela parte do teu sentir que tu não medes que sentes.
E. — Tão feminina nisso ... E és da matéria das coisas irreais!
A. — Quando levantas um braço eu queria saber porque coisas do além, tu levantas esse braço ... O que há por detrás de o tu quereres levantar e de saberes porque o queres levantar? Vim contigo há tanto e não sei quem tu és... Reparo às vezes nos pequenos gestos que fazes e vejo quão pouco sei de ti ...
E. — Eu próprio não sei quem eu sou ... Meus gestos são entes estranhos quando reparo neles, e sombras incertas quando não reparo. São uma perpétua revelação a mim próprio. Sou tão exterior a conhecer‑me como o mundo externo ... Entre o meu querer erguer um braço e ele erguer‑se vai um intervalo divino ... Transponho, entre pensar e falar, um abismo sem fundo humano.
A. — Eu sou simples como uma pedra no caminho ou uma rosa numa roseira.
E. — És simples porque não te espelhas em ti. Uma pedra no caminho é (atónita) um mistério igual a Deus ... Uma rosa numa roseira é tão compreensível como a Vida ...
A. — Olho‑te e amo‑te e não te possuo nunca. Floriram em (...) as rosas do meu jardim ... Acompanho‑te e perco‑te sempre que olho para ti.
E. — Eu próprio não me acompanho ... como poderás tu acompanhar‑me? Vejo meus pés andar como quem vê passar um cortejo humano nas distâncias e na noite ... Reparo na minha sombra como numa face desconhecida que espreitou de fora à janela da minha moradia ... Não compreendo nada ... Não compreendo nada.
A. — Mas há coisas que tu compreendes e que nunca me confessas. Falas‑me dos teus amores e dos teus desejos mas eu sinto que guardas para ti, fechada na mão, uma jóia qualquer do teu sentimento. Porquê se eu te amo e se somos um só?
E. — Porque nunca somos um só. Aquilo que eu não te digo, apesar de habitarmos juntos este palácio e juntos pensarmos neste jardim. Segredo‑o a mim quando estou mais só e nem ergo a voz, para que me não ouça não sei quem que me não pode ouvir.
A. — Sou a tua Alma e a mim‑próprio não me contas tudo! Passou ontem uma brisa leve pelo jardim. Trouxe perfumes de outros jardins [...]


DIÁLOGO NA SOMBRA
(A. - Alma / E. - Eu)
Fernando Pessoa

Ah, mas se ela adivinhasse

O amor, quando se revela,
Não se sabe revelar.
Sabe bem olhar p'ra ela,
Mas não lhe sabe falar.

Quem quer dizer o que sente
Não sabe o que há-de dizer.
Fala: parece que mente...
Cala: parece esquecer...

Ah, mas se ela adivinhasse,
Se pudesse ouvir o olhar,
E se um olhar lhe bastasse
P'ra saber que a estão a amar!

Mas quem sente muito, cala;
Quem quer dizer quanto sente
Fica sem alma nem fala,
Fica só, inteiramente!

Mas se isto puder contar-lhe
O que não lhe ouso contar,
Já não terei que falar-lhe
Porque lhe estou a falar...



"O amor, quando se revela"
Fernando Pessoa

I just close my eyes and I'm with you

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I saw wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles and miles of empty space in between us
The telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be travelin' forever
It's cold out but hold out and do I like I do

When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I saw wanna give you babe
It's only a heartbeat away

It's not easy when the road is your driver
Honey that's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
It's cold out but hold out and do like I do

Oh, I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

When I need you
Just close my eyes
And you're right here by my side
Keeping me warm night and day

I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
And I'm with you darlin'
Yes, I'm with you darlin'
All I wanna give you
It's only a heartbeat away

Oh I need you darling

É cuidar que se ganha em se prerder

Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver;

É ferida que dói e não se sente;
É um contentamento descontente;
É dor que desatina sem doer;


É um não querer mais que bem querer;
É solitário andar por entre a gente;
É nunca contentar-se de contente;
É cuidar que se ganha em se perder;


É querer estar preso por vontade;
É servir a quem vence, o vencedor;
É ter com quem nos mata lealdade.


Mas como causar pode seu favor
Nos corações humanos amizade,
Se tão contrário a si é o mesmo Amor?


Luís de Camões

E o meu beijo destruirá o silêncio que te faz minha

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! - Ninguém durma! ninguém durma!

Tu pure, o, Principessa, - Tu também, ó princesa,

nella tua fredda stanza, - na tua fria alcova

guardi le stelle - olhas as estrelas

che tremano d'amore - que tremulam de amor

e di speranza. - e de esperança.

Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me, - Mas o meu mistério está fechado comigo,

il nome mio nessun saprá! - O meu nome ninguém saberá!

No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diró - Não, não, sobre a tua boca o direi,

quando la luce splenderá! - Quando a luz resplandescer!

Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio - E o meu beijo destruirá o silêncio

che ti fa mia! - que te faz minha!

(Il nome suo nessun saprá!... - E o seu nome ningúem saberá...

e noi dovrem, ahimé, morir!) - E nós deveremos, infelizmente, morrer!

Dilegua, o notte! - Desvença, a noite!

Tramontate, stelle! - Desapareçam, estrelas!

Tramontate, stelle! - Desapareçam, estrelas!

All'alba vinceró! - Ao alvorecer eu vencerei!

vinceró, vinceró! - Vencerei,Vencerei!!!

Did I Ask Too Much?...

Is it getting better

Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life

One
