Sissel (2002)

12 / 2002

Mama, how do I begin
To explain this situation we’re in?
Angels heard the beautiful words that you prayed
And showed me the way to you

And they knew you were in love
So they sent me down from heaven above
Angels cried and kissed me goodbye, I was long gone
This is my song to you

Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me

When your fingers touch my skin
And you kiss my lips and tickle my chin
I breathe you in, oh Mama, I’m where I belong
This is my song to you

Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me

Oh, one day I will be grown
And I know, I’ll have a child on my own
Remember me this way, ’cause some day
I’ll be long gone, singing my song to you

Oh, my song could never be
As sweet as the song you sing to me
Oh, my love could never be
As deep as the love you give to me

Girl don’t be sad
You know what you’re missing
No reason to feel bad
He don’t mean much with his kisses
you’re gonna make it through
You have always been surviving
I’ve got faith in you
And I know you’ll get it going

But you can’t go back
To what it never was
To repossess, what you never owned
But you can’t go back
To what it never was
This is that time, this is that time
When you’re better off alone

Girl don’t you see
there’s nothing more to see there
you’ve got a friend in me
And I will always be here
And you know it won’t be long
Until it’s all behind you
You will meet someone
Someone?s bound to find you

But you can’t go back
To what it never was
To repossess, what you never owned
But you can’t go back
To what it never was
This is that time, this is that time
When you’re better off alone

Even alone at night
You will be all right
you’re so strong? you will get over him
And there will be times
That I’ll expect these lies
Not to comfort? but remind you

But you can’t go back

 

Songwriters: Trevor Dahl / Trevor Douglas / Morgan Reid

I’m all alone in the rainfall
I hear my name call
I look up but there’s no one around

The sky is wild and the wind blows
I’m out my window
Trying to fly but I keep falling down

I will never have that dream again
If I do I’ll just get up and then
Sure as the sun will rise
I’ll be there by your side
Till the end of time

I live my life, where it takes me
I’m what it makes me
I get up but I keep falling down
Keep falling down

The blinding light silhouettes me
I try to get free
So I run but I keep falling down
Keep falling down

I will never have that dream again
If I do I’ll just get up and then
Sure as the sun will rise
I’ll be there by your side
Till the end of time

And every night I close my eyes
I hear the voices calling
Don’t try to hide, don’t try to fight

It’s only sleep, it’s just a dream
And you’re not really falling
Get up and try to live your life

I live my life, where it takes me
I’m what it makes me
I get up but I keep falling down
Keep falling down

I will never have that dream again
If I do I’ll just get up and then
Sure as the sun will rise
I’ll be there by your side
Till the end of time

Sure as the sun will rise
I’ll be there by your side
Till the end of time

And every night I close my eyes
I hear the voices calling
Don’t try to hide, don’t try to fight

 

Songwriters: Dahl Jorn / Foreman Dave

O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away I’m bound to go ‘cross the wide Missouri

O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away I’m bound to go ‘cross the wide Missouri

O Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away I’m bound to go ‘cross the wide Missouri

If you ever would need someone
Then think of me
If you ever would need someone
Then think of me

Need you ever to love someone
Consider me
Will you ever know your lover cute’s gone
So think of me

I’m free
All good things come to the one who waits
All good things come to the one who waits

Since I never had to fight
I lose easily
Since I never had to fight
I still believe

Patiently… that
All good things come to the one who waits
All good things come to the one who waits

All good things come to the one who waits
All good things come to the one who waits

If you ever would need someone
Then think of me

 

Songwriters: Morten Abel / Fjordheim Borge

Here I am, on my own again
All alone, but not afraid
Here I stand, nowhere near the end
Time to go a different way

Cause another day will come to those who dare
Believe in something new

When you follow your shining star
Leave all your fears behind
You will find love no matter where you are
And all your heart will say? one day

When you’re down, and you haven’t found
Where you think you want to go
Do you search for higher ground
Deep inside you really know

Cause another day will come to those who dare
Believe in something new

When you follow your shining star
Leave all your fears behind
You will find love no matter where you are
And all your heart will say? one day

I know it’s hard to leave
The future seems so far away and,
Believe that all you need will come to you? one day

Follow your shining star
Leave all your fears behind
You will find love no matter where you are
And all your heart will say
You will find love no matter where you are
And all your heart will say? one day

Carrier of a secret
No one wants to know
Show a little conscience

Guardian of the palace
No one wants to go
Broken hearted monster

Tell me the words that’ll touch me
Tell me what’s hurting you so

Carrier of a secret
Let your secret go

Carrier of a secret
Whispered in the dark
What are you afraid of?

Carrier of a secret
Hidden in your heart
Show me what you are made of

Now put your hand to the quiver
Now to the bend of the bow

Let it fly, let it light the sky above you
Let it fly, let somebody try to love you

Carrier of a secret
To unhip to show
Too uncool to mention

Carrier of a secret
Let your secret go
More like confession

Now like a bird from your window
Now like a song from your heart

Let it fly, let it light the sky above you
Let it fly, let somebody try to love you

How many mountains must you climb?
How many tears must you cry?
How many seasons must go by
Before you let your secret fly?
How many mountains must you climb
Before you let your secret flow?

Let it fly, let it light the sky above you

How many mountains must you climb?
How many tears must you cry?
How many seasons must go by
Before you let your secret

How many mountains must you climb?

How many tears must you cry?
(Let somebody try to love you)
How many seasons must go by
Before you let your secret fly

How many mountains must you climb?
How many tears must you cry?
How many seasons must go by
Before you let your secret fly?

How many mountains must you climb?
How many tears must you cry?
How many seasons must go by
Before you let your secret fly?

There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference

A heart that cared
That one time shared
Until it died
Within his silence

And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He’s playing solitaire

A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying

There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he’s playing

And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He’s playing solitaire

And keeping to himself, begins to deal
And still the King of Hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And he deals them out again

And solitaire’s the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He’s playing solitaire

 

Songwriters: Sedaka Neil/Cody Philip

I look at you
Please don’t walk away
I see you’re about to
There is just something I’d really like to say
So please don’t walk away

I know that you’re there
Still you pretend you’re not
Yes I know it hurts
I have also felt the pain

So should it matter
What I do or what I’ve done
As long as in my heart
You’re still the only one
I hear you say it
But I don’t think you understand
I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

It’s been a year
a memory from my past
I know what I did wrong
I wish to change
Just to make it last
But I guess it’s been too long

Easy to move on
To forget to about it all
Is that what you do, hoping I will be gone

So should it matter
What I do or what I’ve done
As long as in my heart
You’re still the only one
I hear you say it
But I don’t think you understand
I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

If you got to know me again
Maybe then — maybe then
We could see what what we should do
But that’s all up to you
I’ll be waiting for you

So should it matter
What I do or what I’ve done
As long as in my heart
You’re still the only one
I hear you say it

But I don’t think you understand
I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

I hear you say it
But I don’t think you understand
I can be trusted now, I swear to you I can

 

Songwriters: Lene Marlin Pedersen

Lær meg å kjenne dine veie
Og gå dem trøstig skritt for skritt
Jeg vet at hva jeg fikk i eie

Er borget gods, og alt er ditt
Men vil din sterke hånd meg lede
Jeg aldri feil på målet ser
Og for hvert håp som dør her nede
Får jeg et håp i himlen mer

 

Writer: Jakob Paulli

All of my life
I have been waiting
Wondering what I will do

All I can feel
Is my heart beating
Time and time again for you

And I’m weightless, falling in love
I am weightless
And I don’t know why but I know
It’s all right

All I can hear
Is my own breathing
Echo in my loneliness

If I could sleep
I would be dreaming
Of the sweetness of your kiss

And I’m weightless, falling in love
I am weightless
And I don’t know why but I know
It’s all right
And I’m weightless, falling in love
I am weightless
And I’m so high, I’m with my angel tonight

And I’m weightless, falling in love
I am weightless
And I don’t know why but I know
It’s so right
And I’m weightless, falling in love
I am weightless
And I’m so high, I’m with my angel tonight
