A Beautiful Day Such a beautiful day I'm out and on my way Walking in the green Where the air is fresh and clean Up and down the mountain Resting by a fountain Lazing under a clear blue sky feeling groovy, feeling high ... Such a beautiful day today With the sun in my eyes Such a beautiful day today Lift me up make me feel high Such a beautiful day Holds all my worries at bay I’m in the mood for walking And there’s no need for talking Down and up the valley Through the forest’s natural alley Singing in a clear blue sky Feeling groovy, feeling high Such a beautiful day today With the sun in my eyes Such a beautiful day today Lift me up make me feel high The yellow sun in my face The cool wind in my hair A feeling of natural grace A beautiful, beautiful day Copyright © 18.04. 2010 by Hans-Jürgen Friedrich

Amy From Digby Almost at the end of the road With only the odd tourist there One or two sailing boats Right in the middle of nowhere The only hotel once closed for the season Now closed for good, there‘s a reason `Cause even in the brightest summer days The golden light looks grey. Amy from Digby The nightly dream the wonderful scheme Of a world in which to take part Amy from Digby The daily life, a job to survive But the dream always in her heart Amy from Digby. The whales in the Bay of Fundy A mere stop on the tourist way But for Amy it’s Monday through Sunday And never a chance to get away Wasting her life selling food and drinks All too sure what the next day brings And even in the summer days of gold The mildest breeze turns cold. Amy from Digby The nightly dream the wonderful scheme Of a world in which she wants to take part The daily life, a job to survive But the dream always in her heart Amy from Digby. The hamburger’s good, the coffee is steaming, Is that all there is in life for me? Where is the world of which I’m dreaming? Where is the prince on bended knee? Copyright © by Hans-Jürgen Friedrich

Would You 03:10
Would you If you knew how often I dream of you If you knew how much I do care for you What would you say, can you feel What I feel for you If you knew how often my thoughts are with you What would you say Would there be some surprise I would see there in your eyes Would you say you didn't know Would you simply look away Like you don‘t know what to say But don't tell me you didn't know Cause you know full well what I cannot tell And if I could I would, tell you that it's true But then why make the two of us feel blue Why make the two of us feel blue If you knew how often I dream of you If you knew how much I do care for you What would you say, can you feel What I feel for you If you knew how often my thoughts are with you What would you say Would you be irritated Would you just hate it Would you say you don't want to know Would you walk away Would you turn to say That you think I'd better go Copyright © 13.01.2006 by Hans-Jürgen Friedrich

All My Life 05:59
All My Life Let me take you down to the river side To the water's constant flow Something in the air, feel it everywhere Hold me as my fears begin to grow Take a look around, see the turning tide We are walking where the cold winds blow I'd be so lost here without you You alone can make my troubles go But when you're near me All my troubles fade When you're here with me All my worries fade away The winds are changing, turning cold Blowing strong and before long Hopes are fading, life is growing cold And what was right seems suddenly so wrong But when I hold your hand and look into your eyes See the sparkle of a million stars above You give me a word, you give me a smile Let me find a haven in the land of love But when you're near me All my troubles fade When you're here with me All my worries fade away A fear like mad, a tear so sad Hold me when the night is calling Hold me when the rain is falling Hold me, hold me, tonight Feel your body here beside me Out of the dark, into the light Feel so safe inside, got a place to hide Hold me in your arms tonight Girl, I love you all my life Taking comfort in the loving words you say You will guide my way, you will light my day You can make the dark times fade away And when you're near me All my troubles fade When you're here with me All my worries fade away It ain't easy But with you beside We can make it right Hold me tonight Copyright © 2002 by Hans-Jürgen Friedrich

Cold is the Night In the spring of ninety eight We are turning in circles we don't go straight Political gridlock social deadlock It's stop and go more stop than go And it has grown cold overnight For both young and old there's no light And no one cares for the man in the street Promises and prayers don't bring you back to your feet Where do we go? Tomorrow Does anyone still know? Today, can anyone tell? Heaven from hell, don't we matter anymore? We're drifting further from the shore Turn the pages Nothing changes Cold is the night In the spring of ninety nine We're still turning in circles without reason or rhyme Changing directions as fast as our clothes Contradictory remedies won't cure our woes Even the poets have gone astray Philosophers muted When a word would suit To find us a path, to find us a way Where do we go? Tomorrow Does anyone still know? Today, can anyone tell? Heaven from hell, don't we matter anymore? We're drifting further from the shore Turn the pages Nothing changes Cold is the night But all that we hear Are black and white schemes Simplified answers To our mulicoloured dreams Where do we go? Tomorrow... Copyright © 1999 by Hans –J. Friedrich

Don`t Leave Home Tonight Snow has been falling down all day In thick flakes Everything is wearing a coat of white The houses, the trees, and even the light Looks dimmer tonight This is a time to huddle and cuddle Pull ablanket over your feet Sit round the fire, look out on the street Do anything, but do it inside And never leave home tonight Heavy, grey and black are the clouds That cover the moon The figure of a snowman vanishes soon In the haze, and on my window Ice flowers bloom Decorate the room This is a time to huddle and cuddle Pull ablanket over your feet Sit round the fire, look out on the street Do anything, but do it inside And never leave home tonight Alle Rechte bei den Autoren.

Du kannst 04:00
Du kannst Wenn du seit Tagen keine Kraft zum Lachen hast weil du nicht weißt wie du im Leben weiter machst Wenn du dich lieber nicht genau im Spiegel siehst du nicht erkennst wer dir gegenübersteht Wenn du dich fragst, wer du selber wirklich bist ob deine Chance wer zu sein schon vorüber ist Wenn du alleine deinen Mut nicht mehr erlangst dann brauchst du einen der dir sagt: ich weiß du kannst Ich weiß du kannst Berge versetzen wenn du nur fest daran glaubst Du kannst alles erreichen was du zum Leben brauchst Du kannst bald wieder hoffen auf eine bessere Zeit Ich weiß du wirst siegen bald ist es soweit Wenn du die Sonne nicht mehr siehst obwohl sie scheint weil deine Seele voller Schmerz und Trauer weint Wenn du dich lieber ganz allein im Bett verkriechst weil du andauernd andre Menschen lachen siehst Wenn du sogar zu schwach für ein paar Tränen bist weil in dir weiter nichts als ganz viel Leere ist Wenn du die Augen fest verschließt vor tiefer Angst dann brauchst du einen der dir sagt: ich weiß du kannst Ich weiß du kannst Berge versetzen wenn du nur fest daran glaubst Du kannst alles erreichen was du zum Leben brauchst Du kannst bald wieder hoffen auf eine bessere Zeit Ich weiß du wirst siegen bald ist es soweit Du brauchst einfach Zeit um zu spüren Wie schön Leben ist Um endlich zu wissen wie wertvoll du bist Ich versprech` dir was kommt Ist noch viel besser als du denkst

The hunting season now open again The hunting season now open again Fishing for souls as best as you can The hunter is stalking, looking for prey You never know he might come your way Listen and hear there is greatest joy The hunting season has a new toy The announcement was made with rising white smoke See Joseph and the amazing technicolour coat Fishing for souls Catching a life To be saved or to be burned The lesson still has to be learned The hunting season now open again After the hunters have spoken the great amen The prey is hiding trying to see If the apple has fallen close to the tree Fishing for souls Catching a life Does he keep the flame from burning Or does he sparkle a new yearning? The hunting season now open again Fishing for souls as best as you can The hunter is stalking, looking for prey You never know he might come your way Copyright © 2005-05-04 by Hans-Jürgen Friedrich for Mayflower Music

Love will last forever When she saw his face for the first time He had the sparkle of the stars in his eyes And when he first embraced her There was never a thought of good-byes And for a long sunny summer Life was so easy, life was fun Nothing to care or worry about As if the morning of a new day had begun Love will be our bond And hold us together Love is like a magic wand Our love will last forever But in the autumn his country called There were troubles in a far away land He kissed her quick and he told her He would write her whenever he can Then he packed his bag and he left her On a journey, waving her good-bye She stood in the door and watched him And a tear stole into her eye Love will be our bond… She waited a long winter But never a word was heard And in the spring she felt betrayed By all the flowers and the birds But her thoughts were always with him She was never there alone She spoke to him in her dreams And always welcomed him home Love will be our bond… And then one day in summer To her they brought him back And with their condolation left her A coffin, a medal and a flag He did his country honour A hero and a friend She only had a memory And a photo in her hand.

Fly Away 03:46
Fly Away When the wind silently enters the room The night is bright, by a full moon This is the time when dreams begin I see your face before my eyes I speak your name within my sighs The memory of you is fading in Fly away, fly away My dreams go on a journey to you Fly away, fly away In my dreams I spend the night with you I haven't seen you quite a while You used to live in glam and style While I did stalk the backyard So strange to meet you face to face Three mourning roses in a vase While I am standing in the churchyard Fly away, fly away My dreams go on a journey to you Fly away, fly away In my dreams I spend the night with you Copyright © 2005 by Hans-Jürgen Friedrich

On The Line 03:01
On The Line Hello, hello how are you Are you ok? Still can't believe it's true I don't know what to do or say Hello, hello long time no hear Are you glad? How I wish that you were near All the happy times we had So sad and lonely since you've been gone Still don't know what went wrong Calling you makes me feel blue Can't help it I'm still loving you Hello, hello I miss you What have you done? You know I'm feeling blue And fancy you would come You know, you know those days are gone I know that too But even though you're gone My heart is still calling out for you So sad and lonely since you've been gone Still don't know what went wrong Calling you makes me feel blue Can't help it I'm still loving you I'll find a new way now to get on I'll try a smile, a laugh, so come on Soon I will be over you But I'm still loving you Copyright © by Hans-J.

Sidewalk Cafe Sitting in a sidewalk cafe Watching all the people passing by Drinking Pina Colada Makes me think of you Of the short time when I Knew of all the things you did and do Sitting in a sidewalk cafe Thinking of the times with you gone by Thought for one short moment That my dreams come true But this moment passed With no warning far too fast Sitting in a sidewalk cafe It's so sad the time with you went by Copyright © by Hans-J. Friedrich
