          SISTER

          Sister
          born before me
          with hope and glory
          to behold

          Yet holy
          fate denied her
          now angels guide her
          into the fold
           
          As another long day closes in,
          are you coming home tonight?
          ‘Cause heaven knows where I begin
          but I’m going for the ride

          Money can’t buy
          No money can buy
          Money can't buy my dream

          Money can't buy
          No money can buy
          Money can't buy my dream

          Years fall
          by the wayside
          and time can only
          ease the pain

          And who knows
          which way the wind blows
          I'm on the outside
          and I’m looking in

          Now there’s only one thing you should know  
          I've not made it on my own
          'Cause heaven knows your under my skin
          and with you I'm not alone

          Money can’t buy
          No money can buy
          Money can't buy my dream

          Money can’t buy
          No money can buy
          Money can't buy my dream
          can't buy my dream

          Heaven have mercy
          God knows it hurts me
          if I try
          try to bury my sorrow
          where no one can follow
          I say goodbye
          to my Sister
          my one and only
          with hope and glory
          to behold

          Money can’t buy
          No money can buy
          Money can't buy my dream

          Money can’t buy
          No money can buy
          Money can't buy my dream

          CLOUD NINE

          Thought I saw you up there
          Drifting with the clouds
          Thought I heard you call me
          First quietly then loud
          Is it imagination? What is real?
          I think I'm part of you
          I breathe like you feel

          Can't forget the power
          The magic of the night
          The overwhelming moment
          I looked into your eyes
          Dancing with the wind
          Dancing in your arms
          Gliding like two surfers
          in the sea of love

          Don't ask for tomorrow
          Just carry on with now
          Don't drown your heart in sorrow
          I've got to leave you now
          Don't ask me for the future
          Don't cry for yesterday         
          It's time to say goodbye now
          I'm sure we'll meet again

          Moments turn to hours
          Hours into days
          My lonely heart is aching
          Since you've gone away
          I wish you'd read my mind
          Send a little sign
          I carry you so deeply
          Within my soul

          Don't ask for tomorrow
          Just carry on with now
          Don't drown your heart in sorrow
          I've got to leave you now
          Don't ask me for the future
          Don't cry for yesterday         
          It's time to say goodbye now
          I'm sure we'll meet again

          ELEMENT OF TRUTH

          Reaching higher than the stars
          Those dreams of ours
          Too bright to last forever

          Foreign lands call out for more
          Like once before
          They move a little closer

          Moments passing through my hands
          Like grains of sand
          They slip right through my fingers

          Walking over streets of old
          A past untold
          An element of truth
          An element of truth

          Like an echo from a distant past

          of a long forgotten place

          Casting further than the eye can see
          Coded messages unheard

          DRAFI DEUTSCHER
          "Jeanne d' Arc"


           

          JEANNE D' ARC

          (McCluskey, dt.: ?)

           

          Jeanne d´Arc geh voran !
          Wo du bist, ist der Sieg,
          und jeder folgt dir Mann für Mann
          in den Tod, in den Krieg.

          In der Schlacht von Orleans
          gab der König dir sein Heer.
          Trommelklang - der Kampf begann.
          Wo viel Feinde, gibt´s viel Ehr.

          Oh Jeanne d´Arc, und dieses Land
          wolltest du vom Feind befrei´n.
          Doch Neid und Hass und Schimpf und Schand
          sollten bald das Ende sein.

          Gefangenschaft und Tod und Pein
          und ein Urteil, dass man kennt.
          Der Henker kam - du warst allein.
          Das Feuer dich verbrennt.

           

 

          NINO DE ANGELO
          "UND EIN ENGEL FLIEGT IN DIE NACHT


           

          Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht

          (Humphreys/Cooper, dt.: Horn-Bernges)

           

          Refrain:

          Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
          Macht sich auf den Weg in die Ewigkeit
          Diese Welt hat ihm Angst gemacht
          Niemand hatte hier für ihn Zeit

          Vers 1:

          Du warst zu lange 
          Nicht mehr hier unten
          Die Zeit für Engel ist hier schon längst vorbei
          Zwischen Computern
          Im Heer der Technik
          Mußte ein Engel wie du verloren sein

          Refrain:

          Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
          Und ich wünsche ihm auf dem Weg viel Glück
          Daß ihm niemals ein Flügel bricht
          Denn sonst findet er nicht zurück

          Refrain:

          Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
          Macht sich auf den Weg in die Ewigkeit
          Diese Welt hat ihm Angst gemacht
          Niemand hatte hier für ihn Zeit

          Vers 2:

          Hoffnung und Liebe 
          War deine Botschaft
          In lauten Straßen hörte dich niemand
          Hier ist Liebe 
          Nicht mehr so wichtig
          Eine Träne ist Wasser und nicht mehr

          Refrain:

          Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
          Und ich wünsche ihm auf dem Weg viel Glück
          Daß ihm niemals ein Flügel bricht
          Denn sonst findet er nicht zurück

          Refrain:

          Und ein Engel fliegt in die Nacht
          Denn dort oben wartet viel mehr auf ihn
          Und ich schau' ihm noch lange nach
          Und ich würde gern' mit ihm flieh'n

          (April Music)
