Feels Like Home [English]

Something in your eyes makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself in your arms
Something in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how low I've felt for so long
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my world the way you've done

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I've come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Another window breaks down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But that's alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I've come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Le Cose Che Sei Per Me

Language: Italian

Le Cose Che Sei Per Me [Italian]

Le cose che tu sei che tu sei per me
Sono cosi tante che
Contarle non potrei non ci riuscirei
Perché sei l'immensità

Sei la canzone che risuonerà
Nel vento che l'estate porterà
La meraviglia ed il mistero che
Mi fa vedere te in tutto quell che c'è

Dipingerei lassù nel gran cielo blu
Tutto quello che sei tu
Disegnerei di te un segno eterno che
Mostrasse cosa sei per me

Sei la canzone che risuonerà
Nel vento che l'estate porterà
La meraviglia ed il mistero che
Mi fa vedere te in tutto quell che c'è

Di notte a volte io temo che tu sia
Frutto della fantasia

Ma d'improvviso poi io mi sveglio e sei
Se li stretta accanto a me
Io ti vedo accanto a me

The Things You Are To Me [English]

The things that you are, that you are to me
Are so many that
I cannot count them, I cannot succeed at that
Because you are immensity

You are the song that will resound
In the wind that summer will bring
The wonder and the mystery that
Cause me to see you in all that is

I would paint up there in the great blue sky
All that you are
I would draw an eternal sign of you
That would show what you are to me

You are the song that will resound
In the wind that summer will bring
The wonder and the mystery that
Cause me to see you in all that is

Sometimes at night I fear you are
A figment of my imagination

But then suddenly I awaken and you,
You're there close beside me
I see you next to me

They Won’t Go When I Go

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Stevie Wonder & Yvonne Wright
Language: English

They Won’t Go When I Go [English]

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with Him I'll bide
Because they won't go when I go

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He will give
He will give
He's hardly going to give
Ohhh

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
And my soul will be free
They won't go when I go

Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
'Cause they won't go when I go

And I'll go
Where I'll go
No one can keep me
From my destiny.

Straight To You

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Nick Cave
Language: English

Straight To You [English]

All the towers of Ivory are crumbling
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
This is the time of our great undoing
This is the time that I’ll come running

Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

The light in our window is fading
The candle gutters on the ledge
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
And I’ll cry, girl but I’ll come a running

Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
Once again

Gone are the days of rainbows
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks

Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
Straight to you
But I’ll come a running
One more time

Heaven has denied us its kingdom
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
The chariots of angels are colliding
Well, I’ll run, babe, but I’ll come running

Straight to you
For I am captured
Straight to you
For I am captured
One more time

War At Home

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

War At Home [English]

Fallen brother he’s a fallen husband
He’s about to be woken in his hospital bed
He doesn’t want to rest
He just wants to run
And he’s tired of being told that he’s the lucky one

Caped crusader she’s newborn leader
But you should see her when her daughter’s on the phone
And she wipes the tears away
And she laces up because there’s still hell to pay
And it sure feels like hell today

And she says
You see these hands they’re bruised and brown
They’re yours alone
Hold on love we’re still going down
Hold on love we’re still fighting at home
The war at home

Innocence behind his broken expression
He’s a child of mercy he’s our unlearned lesson
And he’s trying to wake up
From this wilderness his world has now become
He’s reaching out to those he’s running from

And he says
You see these hands they’re bruised and brown
They’re yours alone
Hold on love we’re still going down
Hold on love we’re still fighting at home
The war at home

And it’s (one step forward and two steps back)
This is all who are marching
(one step forward two steps back)
This is young and old
(one step forward two steps back)
Through the void of silence
You are not alone

You see these hands their million strong
They are yours now
Hold on love we’re all going down

Você Existe Em Mim

Language: Portuguese

Você Existe Em Mim [Portuguese]

Vim amar você até o final
Da chuva que navega nosso corpo tropical
Espero amar você até durar
A lua que esclarece esse sol sem descansar jamais
Amar o quanto precisar que ame
E então recuse a escuridão te amo
Pra que chorar
Chorar é fim
Você existe em mim
Vim servir amor e aterrissar
Os anjos dos meus versos
Pra você não me deixar de amar
Será que em Deus os versos nascem assim
Como em toda primavera nascem flores
Pra mimar jardim
Amar o quanto precisar que ame
E então recuse a escuridão te amo
Pra que chorar
Chorar é fim
Você existe em mim
A areia lambe o sal
Já passou o temporal e a solução só você e eu
A alma bebe o mar que vazou do coração
E você me faz me fazer feliz
Amar o quanto precisar que ame
E então recuse a escuridão te amo
Pra que chorar
Chorar é fim
Você existe em mim

You In Me There [English]

I came to love you till the end
The rain that our body surfing tropical
I hope I love you 'til last
The Moon explains that the sun without ever resting
Love how they need love
And then refuse to love the darkness
Why would cry
Crying is so
You in me
I came to serve and love land
The angels in my verses
For you do not stop loving me
Is God in the verses are born that way
Like every spring flowers grow
To pamper garden
Love how they need love
And then refuse to love the darkness
Why would cry
Crying is so
You in me
Sand Lick Salt
The storm has passed and the solution just you and me
The soul drinks the sea that leaked from the heart
And you make me make me happy
Love how they need love
And then refuse to love the darkness
Why would cry
Crying is so
You in me

Love Only Knows

Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

Love Only Knows [English]

I’ve tried to hold this back so long
And we’re always such a good thing when it’s gone
It be alright, if we just left our heads tonight

Take me away from this old game
Saying that we’re both too much the same

It be alright, if I just stayed with you tonight
And before I go, will I ever see you again
She said love only knows

Love only knows
If we’ll give into fear and chose life undercover
She said love only knows
If it’s special enough then we’ll chose one another
We’ll chose each other

You were the secret I loved to keep
The name I would only sing in my sleep
Would it be alright, if we just lose ourselves tonight
And if you let go, will you reach out again
She said love only knows

Love only knows, if we’ll give into fear and chose life undercover
She said love only knows, if it’s special enough then we’ll chose one another
We’ll choose each other

And I can’t breathe without you and I don’t
And I can’t live without love and I won’t
And I won’t

Love only knows
If we’ll give into fear and choose life under cover
She said love only knows if it’s special enough then we’ll choose one another
Love only knows, how your arms pull me in like the tide pulls me under
She said love only knows just how long we can run before we lose each other
And we need each other

And I can’t live without you and I won’t

If I Walk Away

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

If I Walk Away [English]

Lately, I’ve been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of the songs you played for me
Sailing into the misty air
Fading bound for I don’t know where
When I’m there I’ll see

And If I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me

Weightless drifting through stars I got
Faithless woke in the dark and I made this from my dream
Play me all your sweet rhymes
Recreate me, now comes the time when I’ll need your truth to see

So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yeah if I walk away
Please follow me

Walk away
Let the fear fall away
Into the fire you made
Scarlet and gold
Walk away
Head for the light of day
Follow a brighter way
Out of the cold and dark
Down to the one bright spark
Futures that all might start
Someday

So if I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me

Fragments shells of a long ago lifetime
Faces that once were mine
Thrown down by the sea

So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yes if I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Would you please follow me

Higher Window

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson & Thomas Salter
Language: English

Higher Window [English]

For all the times I tried for this
And every chance at you I missed
I’ve been known to go my way, but I confess
It made me miss you more

I drew my line across the sand
And set my flag in no man’s land
But here I am the one man band
With a song that’s meant for two

And there is a light, from a higher window
Shining down on you tonight
And the music floats on the breeze
Bringing an easier time
And all of our cards are on the table
Tell me what you want to do
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
For me to love you

How perfect we were meant to be
Our warm and silent symmetry
It’s times like these when all, all we need
Is to be reminded

And I have flown a thousand miles
To empty room and crowded aisles
And we went from cathedral bells
To show and tell and wish you wells
And I, I still look at you and I am blinded I am blinded

Because there is a light, from a higher window
Shining down on us tonight
And the music floats on the breeze
From an easier time

And all of our cards are on the table
Tell me what you want to do
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
Don’t tell me that it’s too late now
Just don’t tell me that it’s too late
For me to love you

Au Jardin Des Sans Pourquoi

Language: French

Au Jardin Des Sans Pourquoi [French]

Retournons avant la guerre
Avant la fin
Avant le besoin de toutes ces prieres
Aucun mal
Aucun bien
Aucun mot croche
Ni mots malins que l'on dit quand on n'sait pas

Sous un ciel bleu, ciel sans nuage
Retournons la-bas
Sans orage
Retournons la-bas
Au jardin des sans pourquoi

Je t'ai vue te promener la-bas
Sous l'arc-en-ciel
Brillante comme une etincelle dans la nuit
Ou je t'ai vue aussi
Tombant du ciel
Comme une larme de St Laurent, disparaissant
Dans un ciel bleu, ciel sans nuage
Retournons la-bas
Sans orage
Retournons la-bas
Au jardin des sans pourquoi

The Garden Without "Whys" [English]

Back before the war
Before the end
Prior to need all those prayers
No harm
No property
No word quaver
Neither clever words we say when we n'sait not

Under a blue sky, cloudless sky
Go back over there
Without storm
Go back over there
In the garden of no reason

I saw you take a walk over there
Under the rainbow sky
Bright as a spark in the night
Or I saw you too
Falling from the sky
As a tear of St Lawrence, disappearing
In a sky blue, cloudless sky
Go back over there
Without storm
Go back over there
In the garden of no reason

Hidden Away

Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

Hidden Away [English]

Over mountains and sky blue seas
On great circles will you watch for me
The sweetest feeling I’ve got inside
I just can’t wait to get lost in your eyes
And all these words that you meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please don’t keep them
Hidden Away

Sing it out so I can finally breathe
And I can take in all the same
Holding out for something i believe in
All I really need today
I want to free your heart
I want to see your heart
Please don’t keep your heart
Hidden Away

You’re a wonder, how bright you shine
A flickering candle in a short lifetime
A secret dreamer that never shows
If no one sees you then nobody knows
And all these words you were meant to say
Held in silence day after day
Words of kindness that our poor hearts crave
Please don't keep them
Hidden Away

Sing it out so I can finally breathe
And I can take in all the same
Reaching out for someone I believe in
All I really need today
I want to feel your love
Will you reveal your love
Please don’t keep your love
Hidden Away

I want to free your heart
I want to see your heart
Please don’t keep your heart
Hidden Away

Ora di andarmene
Ill momento che
Questo cuore teme

Quando è l’ora dell’addio

Se a votlte pensi che
La mia scelta sia
Segno che nonti amo
Non odiarmi mai
Vado per la tua
Felicità

Credimi
Fa più male dentro
Il dover andarsene
Sapere che
Tu soffri come soffro
Quando è l’ora dell’addio

Com’èdifficile ignorare le memorie di una vita
Tutto mi ricorda come sei parte di me

I love that sign nonti
Do not hate me never

Knowing that
You are suffering as I suffer
When the hour of farewell

How difficult it is to ignore the memories of a lifetime
Everything reminds me of how part of me

Galileo (Someone Like You)

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Declan O'Rourke & Seamus Cotter
Language: English

Galileo (Someone Like You) [English]

Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy,
And he wondered what in heaven who invented such a joy,
But the question got the better of his scientific mind
And to his blind and dying days
He looked up high and often sighed,
And sometimes cried

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you made them mine

Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then
But just remember the alternatives for I remember when
I was lonely and unhappy
And my lips were cold as ice
But you kissed me, and good heavens,
Now I’m here in paradise
So if ever I’m not kissing you or looking in your eyes
I won’t be blind, and I won’t cry
I’ll look up high and gladly sigh
And thank the guy

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you made them mine

Bells of New York City

CD: Illuminations
Composers: Josh Groban & Dan Wilson
Language: English

Bells of New York City [English]

There’s a pale winter moon in the sky coming through my window
And the park is laid out like a bed below
It’s a cold, dark night and my heart melts like the snow
And the bells of New York City tell me not to go

It’s always this time of year that my thoughts undo me
With the ghosts of many lifetimes all abound
But from these mad heights I can always hear the sound
Of the bells of New York City singing all around

Stay with me oh stay with me
Refuge from these broken dreams
Wait right here oh wait with me
On silent snow filled streets

Sing to me one song for joy and one for redemption
And whatever is in between that I call mine
With the street lamp light to illuminate the gray
And the bells of New York City calling me to stay
The bells of New York City calling me to stay
