FEELS LIKE FRANCE

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 17.06.2015)

I wanna wake up – wake up in the Provènce

In a château by a river near the Alps

You make me feel like the kings of France

All through the night and day, oh, we just dance.

You and me - a life of sweet romance:

In Niçe, Toulon, Marseille, Aix-èn-Provènce.

Your flair, your style, your élègance:

No matter where we are it feels like France.

Oh, you and me - a life of sweet romance:

In Nice, Toulon, Marseille, Aix-èn-Provence.

Your flair, your style, your élègance:

No matter where we are

It feels like France.

Oh, I wanna wake up – wake up in the Provènce

In a château by a river near the Alps

Oh, you make me feel like the kings of France

All through the night and day, oh, we just dance.

You and me - a life of sweet romance:

In Nice, Toulon, Marseille, Aix-èn-Provènce.

Oh, your flair, your style, your élègance:

No matter where we are

No matter where we are

Oh, no matter where we are

It feels like France.

LOVE SWINGS

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 23.04.2015)

Just me and you, the whole day through

The skies are blue, my sweet Le Roux, we’re flying 

Oh-ooh LOVE SWINGS

Mmm, LOVE SWINGS

Just me and you: a dream come true

The moon shines through just for us two all night 

Oh-ooh, LOVE SWINGS

Mmm, LOVE SWINGS

Heaven on earth is a place, a place we both know

Oh, here by your side in the stars’ magic glow

After all to have it all, feel 10ft tall and one with all in this moment 

Oh-ooh, LOVE SWINGS

Mmm, LOVE SWINGS

Just me and you: a dream come true

The moon shines through just for us two all night, all night, 

Oh-ooh, LOVE SWINGS

Oh, in this moment, oh yeah,

PETITE MADELEINE

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 21.06.2015) 

That scent of summer rain

In the streets of Roma,

The fresh-cut grass on the isle of Sardinia.

A roaring fireplace,

Coffee and vanilla

All these and my favourite Petite Madeleine

The ocean air along the coast of Barçelona,

An ancient book, a castle in Malaga

Chocolate and red wine, Bergamotte and roses

All these and my favourite Petite Madeleine

Rosemary and cinnamon – fresh baked bread and wood

All these and my favourite Petite Madeleine

All these and my favourite Petite Madeleine

SOFIA

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 05.07.2015) 

You see the world and all its magic pass before your eyes,

Everything’s a miracle on earth and in the skies

Wide open every moment your heart and soul so wise,

Pure and bright on every step, your light, it shines.

Sofia – you saw the morning in Gemini,

Sofia – just after eight we caught your eye,

Sofia – our world stood still,

Sofia – we love you and we always will.

Sofia – you saw the morning in Gemini,

Sofia – just after eight we caught your eye,

Sofia – our world stood still,

Sofia – oh, we love you and we always will. 

Oh, we love you and we always will.

TUSCANY

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 14.10.2015)

Won’t you come with me to magic Tuscany

To Elba’s sunny beaches at the Tyrrhenian Sea

Snow-capped Mountains in the Apennines

Olive groves and vineyards of Chianti

Won’t you come with me to magic Tuscany

To Pisa’s ‘Leaning Tower’ at the ‘Piazza dei Miracoli’

Travel back in time to the Renaissance

See Michelangelo’s ‘David’ in Florence

Oh, won’t you come with me to magic Tuscany

You and me together - the best company

The moon’s shining bright, the time is right

Holding hands at midnight under starry skies

Swim in crystal waters in the morning light

Step through this magic portal and take this flight

Oh, you and me in Tuscany’s so fine

Won’t you come with me to magic Tuscany

You and me together - the best company

The moon’s shining bright, the time is right

Holding hands at midnight under starry skies

Swim in crystal waters in the morning light

Step through this magic portal and take this flight

Oh, you and me in Tuscany’s so fine

Oh, won’t you come with me to magic Tuscany

You and me together's the best company

Step through this magic portal and take this flight

Oh, you and me in Tuscany tonight

A BILLION WORLDS

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 14.10.2015)

When the sun rises over the desert dunes

Every grain of sand sings to a different tune

When the light shines on the southern planes

Love has more than a billion different names

When I wake up each day all is new in every way,

All the sights and sounds

A billion grains, a billion names, a billion pearls:

Oh, this planet is a billion worlds.

When I wake up each day, all is new in every way

All the sights and all the sounds

A billion grains, a billion names, a billion pearls

Oh, this planet is a billion worlds. Yes, it is.

This planet is a billion worlds.

LIGHT OF LOVE

(words & music by Eike Moriz, 17.06.2015)

Just a flash of a second 

Of the age of the world

To live this life we’ve been beckoned 

For our souls to unfurl.

Paint on this canvas 

With all the colours that we know

And then add some more

From the magical unknown

Round and round along the spiral 

On this path supreme,

Spawn the sound of the cycle

Called forth by our being.

Oh, polish this gemstone

From all sides thereof

Until it shines oh so brightly

In the light of love.

ON DAYS LIKE THESE

(By Quincy Jones And Don Black)

On days like these when skies are blue and fields are green

I look around and think about what might have been

and then I hear sweet music float around my head


As I recall the many things we left unsaid


It's on days like these that I remember

singing songs and drinking wine


While your eyes played games with mine

On days like these I wonder what became of you


Maybe today you are singing songs with someone new

I’d like to think you're walking by those willow trees

remembering the love we knew on days like these

It's on days like these that I remember

Oh, 
singing songs and drinking wine

while your eyes played games with mine

On days like these I wonder what became of you

Maybe today you are singing songs with someone new

Questi giorni quando vieni il belle sole

la la la la la-la-la-la la la la la

FLY ME TO THE MOON

( By Bart Howard )

Fly me to the moon

Let me sing among those stars

Let me see what spring is like

On jupiter and mars

In other words, hold my hand

In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song

Let me sing for ever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true

In other words, I love you

In other words, oh, hold my hand

In other words, baby kiss me

Oh, fill my heart with song

Let me sing for ever more

You are all I long for

All I worship and adore

In other words, oh, please be true

Yes, In other words,

Oh, In other words,

Yes, In other words,

I love you

MACK THE KNIFE

(By Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht, And Marc Blitzstein)

Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear

And he shows them pearly white.

Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe

And he keeps it, out of sight.

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows start to spread.

Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe

And he never shows a single drop of red.

On the sidewalk, Sunday morning, comin' down

Lies a body oozin' life,

Someone's sneakin' 'round the corner

Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat down by the river 

With a cement bag, hangin' down.

Oh, the cement's just for weight, dear

Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town.

Ole Louie Miller disappeared, babe

After he withdrew all his cash.

Now MacHeath spends like a sailor.

Oh, Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?

There's Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry,

Miss Lotte Lenya and ole Lucy Brown.

Oh, the line forms on the right, babe,

Now that Macky's, 

Oh, yes, Macky

He's back in town

He's back in town

THAT’S LIFE

(By Dean Kay And Kelly Gordon)

Oh, that's life, yeah, that's what people say.

You're riding' high in April, Shot down in May.

But I'm gonna change that tune,

Oh, when I'm back on top, back on top in June.

Oh yeah, hat's life, funny as it seems.

Some people get their kicks, Steppin' on dreams,

But I, I don't let it get me down,

'Cause this ol' world keeps getting around.

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, 

A poet, oh, a pawn and a king

I've been up and down and over and out

And I know one thing:

Oh, each time I find myself flat on my face,

Well, I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life, I can't deny it, 

Well, I thought of quitting,

But my heart just won't buy it.

If I didn't think it was worth a try,

Yes, I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die.

UNCHAINED MELODY

(By Alex North And Hy Zaret)

Oh, my love, my darling,


I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time.


And time goes by so slowly, 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.


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 for your touch a long, lonely time.


And time goes by so slowly, time can do so much.


Are you still mine?


Oh, I need your love, 

I need your love,

God speed your love to me, 

To me, to me.

I’VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING

(By Harold Arlen And Ted Koeler)

I’ve got the world on a string

I’m sitting on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world, what a life – I’m in love

I’ve got a song that I sing

I can make the rain go

Any time I move my finger

Lucky me, can't you see – I’m in love

Life’s a wonderful thing

As long as I hold the string

I'd be a silly 'so-and-so'

If I should ever let go

I’ve got the world on a string

I’m sitting on a rainbow

Got the string around my finger

What a world, what a life – I’m in love.

Life’s a wonderful thing

As long as I hold that string

I'd be a silly so-and-so

If I should ever let it go, oh, no!

I’ve got the world on a string

I’m sitting on a rainbow

I got the string around my finger

Oh, what a world, what a life – I’m in love.

Oh, I said, what a world, what a life – I’m in love.
