BABY MAYBE Liona Boyd July1/2008 © Mid-Continental Music SOCAN

THE SANDY BEACH, THE SMALL CAFÉ

THE FERRY RIDE ACROSS THE BAY

THE SWEET ROMANTIC WORDS YOU SAY

I CAN’T STOP THINKING OF YOU

THE SONGS WE SANG ALL OUT OF TUNE

YOUR HAND IN MINE, YOUR SOFT PERFUME

THAT VERY SPECIAL AFTERNOON


BABY MAYBE I’M DREAMING

MAYBE, BABY I’M DREAMING

FOR THE FIRST TIME, COULD IT BE I’M

BABY MAYBE DREAMING OF YOU





THE HARBOUR LIGHTS, THE ICE CREAM PLACE

THAT LOVELY SMILE THAT LIT YOUR FACE

OUR LIPS THAT TOUCHED, OUR FIRST EMBRACE


Instrumental







THE SUMMER MOON THAT SHONE SO BRIGHT

THE STARS THAT LED US HOME THAT NIGHT

THE HEAVEN WHEN YOU HELD ME TIGHT














IF ONLY LOVE Music/Lyrics Liona Boyd

IF ONLY LOVE COULD ALWAYS BE

THE WAY IT IS IN FANTASY

IF ONLY DREAMS WERE REALLY TRUE

IF ONLY LOVE WERE ME AND YOU

IF LOVE WERE LIKE A SYMPHONY

THAT WE COULD PLAY ETERNALLY

A SONG TO SING MY WHOLE LIFE THROUGH


I KEEP IMAGINING YOUR FACE

EACH TIME I CLOSE MY EYES

I MAKE BELIEVE THAT YOU’RE HOLDING ME

I’VE CRIED YOUR NAME A THOUSAND TIMES

IF ONLY LOVE COULD LET UF FLY BEYOND THE CLOUDS, BEYOND THE SKY WE’D TOUCH THE STARS AND HEAVEN TOO


INST BRIDGE

I KEEP IMAGINING YOUR FACE

EACH TIME I CLOSE MY EYES

I MAKE BELIEVE THAT YOU’RE HOLDING ME

I’VE CRIED YOUR NAME A THOUSAND TIMES

IF ONLY LOVE COULD LET YOU SEE

YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN MY DESTINY

I PRAY SOMEDAY YOU’LL LOVE ME TOO


I PRAY SOMEDAY YOU’LL LOVE ME TOO




LITTLE SEA BIRD Music Djelo Jusic / Lyrics Liona Boyd

AS THE DAWN BREAKS 'CROSS THE OCEAN

YOU'RE EXHAUSTED, ALMOST DYING

AND THOUGH YOU ACHE YOU KEEP FLYING

LITTLE SEA BIRD KEEP ON FLYING

LITTLE SEA BIRD KEEP ON FLYING

AS THE RAIN FLOWS AND THE SNOW BLOWS

AND THE WIND STRAINS YOUR TINY FEATHERS

BRAVELY BEAT YOUR WINGS TOGETHER

SOON THERE'LL BE NO STORMY WEATHER

SOON THERE'LL BE NO STORMY WEATHER

LITTLE SEA BIRD, LITTLE SEA BIRD

KEEP THE DREAM YOU HOLD INSIDE YOU

LITTLE SEA BIRD, LITTLE FREE BIRD

LET THE STARS OF HEAVEN GUIDE YOU

YOU'LL PASS VALLEYS, HILLS AND MOUNTAINS

YOU'LL SEE RIVERS, LAKES AND FOUNTAINS

AND IF ONLY I COULD JOIN YOU

I'D GO WITH YOU LITTLE SEABIRD

I'D GO WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY

(Next page)



AH AH AH AH AH AH AH ETC

LITTLE SEA BIRD, LITTLE SEA BIRD

MAY THE MIGHTY SPIRIT GUIDE YOU

LONELY FLIGHT BIRD, TINY WHITE BIRD

I’LL BE FLYING RIGHT BESIDE YOU

ON THE WARM WINDS YOU'LL BE WINGING

WITH OTHER BIRDS HAPPILY SINGING

THE LESSONS OF LIFE THAT YOU'RE BRINGING

LITTLE SEA BIRD YOU'LL BE SINGING,

LITTLE SEA BIRD YOU'LL BE SINGING





ONLY FOREVER Music Josip Slisko / Lyrics Liona Boyd

GIVE TO ME YOUR DREAM EYES NOW THAT EVENING'S CALLING

GIVE TO ME YOUR STRONG ARMS NOW THE NIGHT IS FALLING

GIVE ME YOUR CARESSES AS SILVER SKIES ARE DAWNING

GIVE ME EVERY PART OF YOU ‘TILL THE BREAK OF MORNING

GIVE TO ME YOUR LONG HAIR SOFT UPON MY SHOULDER

TAKE MY BREATH TO WARM YOU AS THE NIGHT GROWS COLDER

FEEL OUR HEARTBEATS QUICKEN EACH TIME WE'RE TOGETHER

GIVE ME EVERY PART OF YOU, ONLY FOREVER

YOU ARE MY SUMMER BREEZE FROM THE OCEAN

YOU TOUCHED MY HEART WITH EVERY EMOTION

YOU MADE A PROMISE OH MY GENTLE LOVER

YOU MADE A PROMISE TO LOVE ME LIKE NO OTHER

GIVE TO ME YOUR DAYDREAMS, WHISPER ME YOUR WISHES

TELL THE WORLD YOU LOVE ME, WRITE MY NAME IN KISSES

LET YOUR HEART BE WILD AND FREE EACH TIME WE’RE TOGETHER

ONE IN A MILLION Music and lyrics Liona Boyd

NOW THAT YOU LIE SLEEPING BY MY SIDE

I RECALL THE MAGIC WHEN WE MET

THE WAY WE DANCED ALL NIGHT, JUST KNOWING IT WAS RIGHT

AND YOUR KISS I COULD NEVER FORGET

YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE IN EVERY WAY

NOW THAT WE CAN SHARE THE WORLD TOGETHER

EACH TIME I HEAR YOU SAY, YOU'LL LOVE ME MORE EACH DAY

I KNOW WE'LL BE LOVERS FOREVER

YOU ARE MY ONE IN A MILLION

THE ONE I’VE BEEN DREAMING I WOULD MEET

SOMEHOW I ALWAYS KNEW, SOME DAY I’D BE WITH YOU

AND SUDDENLY MY LIFE WOULD BE COMPLETE


WITH YOU EVERY FANTASY CAME TRUE

YOU KNOW I’D DO ANYTHING FOR YOU

CAUSE YOU ARE MY ONE IN A MILLION



LULLABY Music and Lyrics: Liona Boyd

SO COME MY LOVE AND CLOSE YOUR EYES

JUST DRIFT AWAY AND GO TO SLEEP

AND WHILE YOU'RE DREAMING BY MY SIDE

I'M GOING TO SING YOU A LULLABY

REMEMBER ALL THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS,

THOSE STARRY SKIES AND NORTHERN LIGHTS

THOSE AUTUM FROSTS AND SPRING’S DELIGHTS

AND WHILE THE MOON SHINES PALE AND NEW

I'LL SING MY LULLABY TO YOU

AND WHEN THE CANDLE BURNS DOWN LOW

I'LL HOLD YOU LIKE I ALWAYS DO

YOU ARE MY PRECIOUS LOVE, YOU ARE MY PERFECT LOVE

YOU TOUCHED MY SOUL AND HELPED ME GROW

YOU LOVED ME FROM THE START, AND GAVE ME FROM YOUR HEART

THE GREATEST LOVE I’LL EVER KNOW

COME LAY YOUR SLEEPY HEAD UPON MY SHOULDER

I’LL STROKE YOUR HAIR, I’LL HOLD YOUR HAND

AND WHEN THE EVENING BREEZE GROWS COLDER

I’LL JOIN YOU IN YOUR DISTANT LAND

(Next page)



INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE

YOU ARE MY PRECIOUS LOVE, YOU ARE MY PERFECT LOVE

YOU TOUCHED MY SOUL AND HELPED ME GROW

YOU LOVED ME FROM THE START, AND GAVE ME FROM YOUR HEART

THE GREATEST LOVE I’LL EVER KNOW

SO COME MY LOVE AND CLOSE YOUR EYES

JUST DRIFT AWAY AND GO TO SLEEP

AND WHILE YOU'RE DREAMING BY MY SIDE

I'M GOING TO SING YOU A LULLABY



MAKE LOVE TO ME “Abrazame” Music Rafael Ferro / Lyrics Liona Boyd

Dedicated to Julio Iglesias

MAKE LOVE TO ME

DON’T SAY ANOTHER WORD PLEASE JUST MAKE LOVE TO ME

DON’T LET ME CRY WE KNOW SOMETHINGS CAN NEVER BE

FOR YOU AND ME

MAKE LOVE TO ME

I’D GIVE MY LIFE AND EVERYTHING I HAVE TODAY

I’D LIVE FOR YOU AND NEVER LET YOU GO AWAY

BUT YOU CAN’T STAY

AND WHEN YOU GO

I’ll KNOW THE ANGUISHED FEELING DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEART

THE FLOW OF SORROW FROM THE WELL WHERE TEARDROPS START

JUST KNOWING THAT TOMORROW WE MUST PART

AND WHEN YOU LEAVE

YOU’LL MAKE ME CRY IN SILENCE TRYING NOT TO GRIEVE

YOU’LL TAKE THE MOON AND SUN AND ALL THAT I BELIEVE

MY WORLD WILL FALL TO PIECES WHEN YOU LEAVE

(Next page)



MAKE LOVE TO ME

JUST TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND SET MY SPIRIT FREE

I KNOW THIS LOVE WILL LAST FOR ALL ETERNITY

FOR YOU AND ME

MAKE LOVE TO ME

I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT MY LIFE COULD EVER BE

THESE CRAZY NIGHTS OF AGONY AND ECSTASY

MAKE LOVE TO ME

AND WHEN YOU GO

I’ll KNOW THE ANGUISHED FEELING DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEART

THE FLOW OF SORROW FROM THE WELL WHERE TEARDROPS START

JUST KNOWING THAT TOMORROW WE MUST PART

AND WHEN YOU LEAVE

YOU’LL MAKE ME CRY IN SILENCE TRYING NOT TO GRIEVE

YOU’LL TAKE THE MOON AND SUN AND ALL THAT I BELIEVE

MY WORLD WILL FALL TO PIECES WHEN YOU LEAVE



LET’S GO TO THE MOUNTAINS

Lyrics Liona Boyd / Music Buco Pende

WE’LL PICK THE WILDFLOWERS, FRESH FROM THE SPRING SHOWERS

RAINBOWS TO BRAID IN MY HAIR

WE’LL FOLLOW OUR DAYDREAMS, WARM SUN AND COOL STREAMS

AND A PROMISE OF LOVE THAT WE SHARE

GIVE ME YOUR KISSES, WHISPER YOUR WISHES

QUENCH ME WITH WATER AND WINE

GIVE ME STRAWBERRIES, WILD MINT AND CHERRIES,

AND THE SWEETNESS OF YOUR LIPS ON MINE

COME HERE MY LOVE, LET US GO TO THE MOUNTAINS

COME LET US BE, FEELING FREE

LET’S SEIZE THE MORNING, AS DAYBREAK IS DAWNING

IT’S TIME FOR OUR SECRET JOURNEY



LET’S SEIZE THE MORNING , AS DAYBREAK IS DAWNING


(Next page)



DREAM WITH THE NIGHT SKIES, AND LET THE SUNRISE

SLEEP TILL THE LATE AFTERNOON

DRESS ME IN FIRELIGHT, CEDAR AND STARLIGHT

BATHE ME GENTLY IN THE COOL MOUNTAIN MOON

THE DEWDROPS WILL GLISTEN AND CRICKETS WILL LISTEN

AS WE PLAY OUR GUITARS

THE FOREST WILL HIDE US, SHELTER AND GUIDE US

TRUE LOVE LIKE OURS WAS BORN OF THE STARS



LET’S SEIZE THE MORNING, AS DAYBREAK IS DAWNING




LET’S SEIZE THE MORNING , AS DAYBREAK IS DAWNING




MY SWEET LOVER

Music Jusic / Lyrics Liona Boyd 2005

ARE YOU SLEEPING MY SWEET LOVER

GONE TO YOUR DISTANT DREAMLAND

YOUR SOFT HAIR UPON MY PILLOW

AND YOUR NAKEDNESS UNCOVERED


IN THIS ROOM OF MOON AND SHADOWS

WITH YOUR SKIN SO WARM BESIDE ME

I STILL FEEL YOUR LOVE INSIDE ME


WHEN YOU WAKEN I'LL BE WITH YOU

I HAVE MORNING FLOWERS TO GIVE YOU

I 'LL ENFOLD YOU, KISS AND HOLD YOU,

ALL I WANT IS TO BE WITH YOU

ARE YOU SLEEPING, MY SWEET LOVER

COOL CARESS OF EVENING BREEZES

GENTLE AS MY NIGHT TIME LOVER

YOU WHO TOUCH ME LIKE NO OTHER

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

WHEN YOU WAKEN I'LL BE WITH YOU

YOU'RE THE GIFT THAT HEAVEN SENT ME

LIKE A SUMMER STORM YOU MOVE ME

LIKE THE SPRINGTIME RAIN YOU SOOTHE ME

MY SWEET LOVER, MY SWEET LOVER

MY SWEET LOVER, MY SWEET LOVER



MY GYPSY LOVER

Music and lyrics Liona Boyd

ONE EVENING ALONE IN GRANADA

BENEATH ANDALUSIAN SKIES

I FOUND MYSELF DISAPPEARING

IN THE DEPTHS OF TWO DARK EYES

HIS SPANISH GUITAR IN THE COURTYARD

THE WARM AND SMOKEY AIR

HIS VOICE AS SOFT AS THE MOONLIGHT

ON HIS LONG DARK GYPSY HAIR

HIS FINGERS PLAYED UPON THE STRINGS

LIKE STALLIONS WILD AND FREE

I CLOSED MY EYES AND FANTASIZED

I’D LET HIM PLAY WITH ME

TAKE ME TO THE RIVER

MAKE ME SHIVER WITH DESIRE


GIVE ME WATER GIVE ME FIRE

(Next page)



AH AH AH AH AY, AH A AY MY GYPSY LOVER

THE STARS ARE SHARING OUR DELIGHT

AH AH AH AH AY, MY SWEET GYPSY LOVER

UNDERNEATH THE SKY WE’LL HOLD EACHOTHER TIGHT

I WANT TO BE YOUR GYPSY GIRL TONIGHT

I FOLLOWED HIM DOWN TO THE RIVER

TASTED SALT AND TASTED WINE

IN A TRANCE WE DANCED ‘TILL THE MOON CRIED

AND I KNEW THAT HE WAS MINE

WAS THERE MAGIC IN GRANADA

THOSE FORBIDDERN HOURS WE STOLE

THOUGH I LOST MY GYPSY LOVER

HE LEFT MUSIC IN MY SOUL







AH AH AH AH AH, MY SWEET GYPSY LOVER



(Next page)



TAKE ME THROUGH THESE NIGHT SKIES

TO THE PLACE WHERE THE TIME FLIES

TAKE ME THROUGH THESE BRIGHT SKIES

TO THE START OF SUNRISE

TAKE MY HEART, MY GYPSY LOVER







AH AH AH AH AH, MY SWEET GYPSY LOVER



SHOW ME HOW TO BE YOUR GYPSY GIRL TONIGHT



THIS AMAZING THING CALLED LOVE

Music and Lyrics Liona Boyd

WHAT MAKES THE WIND SIGH WHEN OUR SOULS ARE ACHING

WHAT MAKES THE CLOUDS CRY WHEN OUR HEARTS ARE BREAKING

WHAT MOVES THE MOUNTAINS, KEEPS THE STARS STILL GLOWING

WHAT CALMS THE OCEAN, KEEPS THE RIVERS FLOWING

WHAT MAKES US SPREAD OUR WINGS, AND FEEL LIKE FLYING

WHAT BRINGS US TO OUR KNEES WHEN WE’RE ALONE AND CRYING

WHAT GIVES US SUNSHINE WHEN DAYS ARE GREY AND HAZY

WHAT FUELS OUR FANTASIES, AND DRIVES OUR BODIES CRAZY

LOVE KNOWS NO LIMIT, NO TIME, NO SEASON

IT STEALS YOUR HEART WITHOUT RHYME OR REASON

PASSION AND SADNESS, ECSTACY AND MADNESS

WHAT’S THIS AMAZING THING CALLED LOVE


WHAT MAKES THE MUSIC AND FEELS THE SILENCE

WHAT HEALS THIS WORLD OF OURS AND TAKES AWAY THE VIOLENCE

WHAT MAKES US TIMELESS, BRINGS OUR SOULS TOGETHER

WHAT OTHER THING BUT LOVE COULD CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER

(Next page)



LOVE KNOWS NO LIMIT, NO TIME, NO SEASON

IT STEALS YOUR HEART WITHOUT RHYME OR REASON

PASSION AND SADNESS, ECSTACY AND MADNESS



CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME, PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME


Instrumental

MY GUITAR Lyrics Liona Boyd / Music Henry V111

MOTHER OF PEARL AND IVORY

SCENT OF CEDAR AND TONES OF GOLD

CURVES OF ROSEWOOD AND EBONY

SIMPLE SHAPE THAT MY HANDS LOVE TO HOLD

NOTES AS SOFT AS A CHILD’S CARESS

CHORDS THAT SOOTHE LIKE A SUMMER WINE

SOUNDS THAT LINGER LIKE MEMORY

FADING SLOWLY AWAY INTO TIME

OH GUITAR YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

THE GENTLE VOICE OF MY DESTINY

YOU ARE MY PEACE AND MY HARMONY

OH GUITAR, YES YOU ARE, MY GUITAR

STRINGS THAT SING LKE A LULLABY

STRINGS THAT SLICE LIKE A SILVER KNIFE

STRINGS THAT PAINT WITH MY FINGERTIPS

ALL THE COLOURS THAT MAKE UP MY LIFE

(Next page)



MOTHER OF PEARL AND IVORY

SCENT OF CEDAR AND TONES OF GOLD

CURVES OF ROSEWOOD AND EBONY

SIMPLE SHAPE THAT MY HANDS LOVE TO HOLD

OH GUITAR YOU WERE MEANT TO BE

THE GENTLE VOICE OF MY DESTINY

YOU ARE MY PEACE AND MY HARMONY

OH GUITAR, YES YOU ARE, MY GUITAR



FAMILY FOREVER Music Djelo Jusic / Lyrics Liona Boyd

HOW CAN I BEGIN TO THANK YOU

FOR THE YEARS YOU STOOD BESIDE ME

YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT THERE

TO COMFORT AND PROTECT AND GUIDE ME

WE SHARED EVERY JOY AND PASSION

WHILE OUR HOPES AND DREAMS WERE FLYING

BRAVED THE BAD TIMES AND THE SAD TIMES

WHEN OUR BROKEN HEARTS WERE CRYING

YOU'RE MY FATHER, YOU'RE MY MOTHER

YOU’RE MY SISTER, YOU’RE MY BROTHER

AND MY OLD AND NEW COMPANIONS

WE WERE BORN TO BE TOGETHER

YOU’RE MY FAMILY FOREVER

WITH YOUR LOVE MY LIFE’S MUCH BETTER


YOU'RE MY FAMILY FOREVER

WE WERE FIGHTING, WE WERE LAUGHING

WE WERE CRAZY, YOUNG AND DARING

HERE’S TO ALL THOSE PRECIOUS TIMES

AND MEMORIES THAT WE'RE STILL SHARING

(Next page)



NOW OUR YESTERDAYS ARE PASSING

WE HAVE TRAVELED LONG AND FAR

THROUGH THE TRIUMPHS AND DISASTERS

SOMEHOW WE SURVIVED AND HERE WE ARE

YOU'RE MY FATHER, YOU'RE MY MOTHER

YOU’RE MY SISTER, YOU’RE MY BROTHER

AND MY OLD AND NEW COMPANIONS


YOU’RE MY FAMILY FOREVER









CHIRI BIRI BELA

Trad’n / lyrics Liona Boyd

I NEED AN ANSWER

MY DARLING SWEET MARIE

SO COULD IT REALLY BE

THAT YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH ME

IF YOU SHOULD TELL ME “NO”

MY TEARS WOULD OVERFLOW

BUT IF I TELL YOU “YES”

I’LL NEED A WEDDING DRESS

CHIRI BIRI BELA MARRY ME


CHIRI BIRI BELA BELA WOULD YOU,

SHOULD YOU, COULD YOU MARRY ME?

CHIRI BIRI BELA WOULD YOU AGREE

CHIRI BIRI BELA SAY SI SI SI

CHIRI BIRI BELA MY SWEET MARIE

OH WOULD YOU MARRY ME?

(Next page)



I’LL BRING YOU LOVELY THINGS,

EARRINGS AND BANGLES

YOU’LL GIVE ME GOLDEN RINGS

AND SILVER SANDALS

I’LL BRING YOU SILKS AND PEARLS

A PRETTY DRESS WITH FRILLS

RED RIBBONS FOR MY CURLS

AND YELLOW DAFFODILS



CHIRI BIRI BELA BELLA WOULD YOU,






I’LL FIND A PLAYFUL DOG

LIKE YOU’VE BEEN DREAMING OF

AND THEN TO GO WITH THAT

A LITTLE KITTY CAT

(Next page)



WE’LL LIE UPON THE GRASS

BENEATH THE APPLE TREE

WE’LL BE IN LOVE AT LAST

AND START A FAMILY



CHIRI BIRI BELA BELA WOULD YOU,








WHY MUST YOU LEAVE ME NOW “CARUSO”

Music Lucio Dalla / Lyrics Liona Boyd

THE WINTER SNOWS ARE MELTING

AND THE FLOWERS SPRINGING

THE SUMMER SUN IS SHINING

AND THE BIRDS ARE SINGING

I LOOK TO THE HORIZON

THE SEA AND SKY EMBRACING

IS IT SEA SALT ON MY FACE

OR MY TEARS I’M TASTING

WHY MUST YOU LEAVE ME NOW

NOW I’M STILL CRAZED WITH LOVE FOR YOU

HOW CAN LIFE BE SO CRUEL

OH WHY NOT ME INSTEAD OF YOU

SO MANY TIMES WE DREAMED OUT LOUD

THAT ONE DAY YOU’D SING AGAIN

SO MANY TIMES I HELD YOU CLOSE

IT SEEMED YOU’D BE WELL AGAIN

(Next page)



THE MUSIC IN YOUR LAUGHTER

PRECIOUS TIMES WHEN WE’D REJOICE

‘TIL THE CALL WE BOTH HAD FEARED

LEFT A TREMBLING IN YOUR VOICE





I’LL TAKE YOU FAR AWAY FROM HERE

SO WE CAN BE TOGETHER

I’LL SOFTLY PLAY YOU MY GUITAR

I’LL SING TO YOU FOREVER

I’LL HOLD YOU ‘TILL YOU FALL ASLEEP

I’LL KISS THE RING I GAVE YOU

HOW SAD THERE’S NOTHING I COULD DO

I’D GIVE MY LIFE TO SAVE YOU

I THINK BACK TO HAPPY TIMES

TO OUR WILD AND PLAYFUL WAYS

WE HAD MANY MAGIC NIGHTS

AND CAREFREE SUMMER DAYS

(Next page)



YET SUDDENLY WE’RE OUT OF TIME

I FEEL THE MOMENTS FLYING

SHADOWS ON THE SETTING SUN

TELL ME THE DAY IS DYING
