Promises Don't Come Easy

I should have known all along,there was something wrong
I just never read between the lines
Then I woke up one day and found you on your way
Leaving nothing but my heart behind
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
But tell me if there's a way to bring you back home to stay
Well I'd promises anything to you

I've been walkin' around with my head hanging down
Wondrin' what I'm gonna do
'Cause when you walked out that door,
I knew I needed you more
Than to take a chance on losing you
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
You know I've made up my mind to make it work this time
That's the promise that I give to you

You never thought I loved you
I guess you never thought I cared
I was just too proud to say it out loud
Now I know, to let my feelings go (so tell me)
What can I do to make it up to you
Promises don't come easy
You know I've made up my mind to make it work this time
That's the promise I can give to you
What can I do to make it up to you

The Wind Beneath My Wings

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

A Thousand Ships

Lyrics: © Juliane Honisch, March 2001 / Music: © Kerstin Dröge, March 2001

From the mirror looking back at me
is the face that launched a thousand ships
and the smile that in the glass I see
trembles nervously upon those lips.
And unlike my mirror image I
can hear sounds of dusky darkness fall.
Perhaps tonight will be the night I die
fenced in by those mighty Trojan walls.
Choices were for others, not for me.
I was never asked my wish or will.
So an old man's wife I came to be
Golden toy to him, but faithful still,
till an honoured guest did touch my soul
taught me smiles that duly reached my eyes.
But my sweet smiles were not all he stole
For his love was reckless and not wise.

And again of me no one did ask
Whether I would want to start a war,
whether I'd fulfil my fate-set task,
whether I did truly wish for more.
Now the master of my fate is young.
He has brought me to the walls of Troy.
When the deeds of war are fin'lly sung
Who will call him selfish, lovesick boy?

Battle drums I hear within my mind
Fire arrows pierce me to the core.
Everyone is - like Cassandra - blind,
hatred lives on both sides of the door.
And the image in my mirror cries
Red-hot tears run down to wrinkling lips.
I've grown old while everybody dies
For the face that launched a thousand ships.

Cinderella

When I was just a little girl my momma used to tuck me into bed
and she read my a story

It always was about a princess in distress and how a guy would save her and end up with the glory

I lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized
The fairy tale life wasn't for me

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin for somebody
To come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gunna find someone who wants my soul, heart, and mind and is not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody takin care of me
(I will be) I will be there for him just as long as he will be there for me
When I get myself that it has got to be an equal thing

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin for somebody
To come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I rather rescue myself (rescue myself ...no oh)

I can slay my own dragons
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armor
Is me
So I'm gunna set me free

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin for somebody
To come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless we're riding side by side

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin for somebody
To come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I rather rescue myself....Ooohh)

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waitin for somebody
To come and set me free (Oooooh)
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting for a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white
Unless we're riding side by side
Don't wanna depend on no one else
I rather rescue myself

It must have been love

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away.


It must have been love but it's over now.
It must have been good but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love but it's over now.
From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.


Make-believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart.
But in and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm.
And it's a hard Christmas day, I dream away.


It must have been love but it's over now,
it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without.
It must have been love but it's over now,
it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.

Too many walls

Wish on a rainbow is all I can do
Dream of the good times that we never knew
No late nights alone in your arms
I'll dream on
Living in wonder, thinking of you
Still looking for ways to uncover the truth
You're so young is all they can say
They don't know.
If I could change the way of the world
I'd be your girl
Too many walls have been built in between us
Too many dreams have been shattered around us
If I seem to give up they'll still never win
Deep in my heart I know the strength is within

Watching the others chances drift by
They'll never discover these feelings I hide
Deep inside I'm falling apart
All alone with a broken heart
Thinking in silence is all they allow
These words still unspoken may never be found
All these dreams one day will be mine
They cross my mind
My time has yet to come
Until then

Too many walls have been built in between us
Too many dreams have been shattered around us
If I seem to give up they'll still never win
Deep in my heart I know the strength is within

Crying in the rain

I’ll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting in me
I’ve got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I’ll do my crying in the rain


If I wait for stormy skies
You won’t know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You’ll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartache remain
I’ll do my crying in the rain


Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we’re not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see


Someday when my crying is done
I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then, darling, you never see me complain
I’ll do my crying in the rain


Since we’re not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you’ll never see


Someday when my crying is done
I’m gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then, darling, you never see me complain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
