"Lovely Standards" (2007)



If I Were A Bell lyrics - amel larrieux

Ask me how do I feel, now that we're cozy and clinging
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a bell I'd be ringing
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just gotta behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light or if I were a banner I'd wave

Ask me how do I feel, little me with my quiet upbringing
Well sir, all I can say is if I were a gate I'd be swinging
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs
Well, and if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding

Ask me how do I feel from this chemistry lesson, I'm learning
Well sir, all I can say, if I were a bridge I'd be burning
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack or if I were a goose I'd be cooked

Ask me how do I feel, now that we're finally caressing
Pal, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring
Yes, or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding

Try Your Wings lyrics - amel larrieux

If you've never been
In love, and your longing
For the happiness it brings
Try your wings

If your hungry for the
Sound of a lover
saying sentimental things
Try your wings

Even the tiniest
Bluebird, has to
Leave its nest to fly
What a bluebird can
Do you can do too
If you try

If you've always had
A dream, and you've
Been afraid that it
Would not come
True hither to
Fall in love and
You will find that it's
Just what you've been
Dreaming of

The first love never
Comes twice. So
Take this tender advice
When it comes
Try your wings and
Fly to the one you love [x2]

Lucky To Be Me lyrics - amel larrieux

What a day
Fortune smiled and came my way
Bringing love I never thought I'd see
I'm so lucky to be me

What a night
Suddenly you came in sight
Looking just the way I'd hoped you be
I'm so lucky to be me

I am simply thunderstruck
With this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never thought youA?A???d want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other girl I'd rather be
I could laugh out loud
I'm so lucky to be me

[Spoken:]
That's alright

I am simply thunderstruck
With this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never thought you'd want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no no other girl I'd rather be
I could laugh at loud
I'm so lucky to be me
Me, yeah, I'm so lucky
To be me
Yeah I'm so lucky
Since you came in my life everything been so bright
So tight yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-lucky
To be me me-eee
Whoo boo boo boo boo boo
Wooo hoooo bom bom bom
Mmmmmmmmm

To be me hee heee
I'm so lucky
I'm so lucky to be me

Wild Is The Wind lyrics - amel larrieux

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you

We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one grasp
To satisfy this hungriness

We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins

Like a leaf clings to a tree
Baby please cling to me

We are creatures of the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins

And you kiss me
With your kiss my life begins

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you

Shadow Of Your Smile lyrics - amel larrieux

One day we walked along the sand, one day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day and many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song, the shadow of her smile

The shadow of your smile, when you are gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me

Our wistful little star was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I
Now when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

You're My Thrill lyrics - amel larrieux

You're my thrill
You do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill
You're my thrill
How my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill

Hmmm-nothing seems to matter
Hmmm-here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will
Why this strange desire
That keeps morning higher
When I look at you
I can't keep still
You're my thrill

Younger Than Springtime lyrics - amel larrieux

I touch your hands
And my heart grows strong,
Like a pair of birds
That burst with song.
My eyes look down
At your lovely face,
And I hold a world
In my embrace.

Younger than springtime, are you
Softer than starlight, are you,
Warmer than winds of June,
Are the gentle lips you gave me.
Gayer than laughter, are you,
Sweeter than music, are you,
Angel and lover, heaven and earth,
Are you to me.

And when your youth
And joy invade my arms,
And fill my heart as now they do,
Then younger than springtime, am I,
Gayer than laughter, am I,
Angel and lover, heaven and earth,
Am I with you!

And when your youth
And joy invade my arms,
And fill my heart as now they do,

Then younger than springtime, am I,
Gayer than laughter, am I,
Angel and lover, heaven and earth,
Am I with you

Something Wonderful lyrics - amel larrieux

This is a man who thinks with his heart,
His heart is not always wise.
This is a man who stumbles and falls,
But this is a man who tries.

This is a man you'll forgive and forgive,
And help protect, as long as you live...
He will not always say
What you would have him say,
But now and then he'll do
Something
Wonderful.

He has a thousand dreams
That won't come true,
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you.

You'll always go along,
Defend him where he's wrong
And tell him, when he's strong
He is
Wonderful
He'll always
Needs your love
And so he'll get your love.
A man who needs your love
Can be
Wonderful.

She'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful.
He'll always need her love
And so he'll get her love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful.

If I Loved You lyrics - amel larrieux

If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.

If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!

Longin' to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know how I loved you
If I loved you.

I Like The Sunrise lyrics - amel larrieux

I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day
I like the new day it brings new hope they say
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky
Nighttimes so weary and oh so am i

Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isnt very far
When that heavy blue curtain on night
Is raised up high way out of sight

I like the sunrise so heavenly to see
I like the sunrise and I hope it likes poor me

Here comes the sunrise...

"Morning" (2006)



Trouble lyrics - amel larrieux

[Intro:]
Oh Ho Ho Hooooo
Oh woooo

[Verse 1:]
Some people got that (Je Ne Se Quoi)
I don't know where you just have to look back(two times,two times)
A walking invitation(into the fire)
Or higher ground,a mystical combination(It's like,it's like)

[Pre-Chorus:]
Deep wide eyes reflecting the planets
In the outer space
Swaggering down the block
like Saturn's rings around your waist
God was good to you but she done
went an extra mile
he slapped on those heart-shaped lips of which
when they form a smile
I'm in

[Chorus: x2]
Oooo, trouble
Oooo,trouble

[Verse 2:]
Words have not been spoken(you might hate Jazz)
I may not be a big fan of Beethoven(it's alright,alright)
I have been captured(you hold the key)
In those lovely hands conducting this rapture(Lord have mercy)

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy,cherie
what have you conjured up on me
me nah ac' a fool for nobody

Lord have mercy on me
q'est que tu me fais,cherie
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy

[Chorus]

Unanswered Question lyrics - amel larrieux

They Speak Of Jobs And Positions
Who's Seeing Who, Who's Settled Down
They Casually Mention Your Name
The Power In The A Word's Insane
How It Triggers Everything To Come Tumbling Down

Into The Pit Of My Stomach
Boulders And Butterflies Coexist
That Chemical Reaction Shared By All Romantics
Threatens To Persist

[Chorus:]
And This
Unanswered Question
Lingers On
To This Later Date
Can I Resign
To Never Knowing
If I Was Your One That Got Away

The Back And Forth, The On And Off
The "Don't Call Anymore"
The Leaving, The Wishing I Had Stayed
A Self Inflicted Prison I Can't Escape
Like If I Did The Memories Would Decay

And There'd Be No More Hours Of Dreaming
Bout What A Life With You Would Have Been
That Chemical Reaction Shared By All Romantics
Has Some Twisted Need To Exist

[Bridge:]
Say You Feel Nothing When You See Me
Say That Where I Walk ,Flowers Have Grown
Say That I Rocked Your World
Say That I Was Never Your Girl
Just Give Me Somethin'
Give Me Somethin' I Can Put In Stone

[Chorus]

No One Else lyrics - amel larrieux

Swift As A Windsong
You Sang The Music Of An Honest Bird
I Waited For Some Contradiction
The Truth Was Ringin' In Your Every Word

And Every Moment Since Then
The One Thing I Can Tell
Is That I Belong With You
And No One Else

Lay Down Those Heavy Burdens
On The Banks Of This River Deep
Know That Every Piece Of Your Past
Is Always Some Place Safe With Me

And There's No Room For Judgement
I Want You As Yourself
'cuz I Belong With You
And No One Else

We Have Both Been Broken
Bent Into Painful Shapes
And Almost Let Those Old Fears
Carry Over And Get In Our Way

Every Struggle Just Makes
Our Love Get Stronger
Than It Was Yesterday

So Here We Are Now
Ain't It Lucky We Survived It All
Searching For Self In Separate Rivers
Ending Up In The Same Waterfall

And When We're Gray And Wiser
The Story I Will Tell
Is That I Belong With You
And No One, No One Else
I Belong, I Belong With You
And No, No, No, No One Else
I Belong With You
And No One, And No One Else

Earn My Affections lyrics - amel larrieux

I Work Hard For What I Got
Plenty Overtime
When I Clock Out I'm Worn And Beat Down
But Still Ready To Fly
(Here You Come With Those)
Unsteady Eyes
Like You Been Looking For Something You Cannot Find
Right Through Me
Like My Fruit Ain't Fit For Makin' Pie

[Chorus:]
You Got To
Earn My Affection
Put Your Back Into It
Before We Get This Show On The Road
Don't Make Me
Lose All My Self Respect
I Ain't Desperate Yet So
Come On Now Stop Actin' Out And Act Like You Know

You're A Beautiful Mess
But Every Attic Has A Treasure
And I Been Known, To Throw My Apron On
And Scrub To Reveal A Shine
(Let The Good Lord Have)
Mercy On You
Before I Do
If You Were In The Area And Just Passing Through
Come Correctly, Come Strong And Don't Drag Your Good Foot Behind

[Chorus]

You Set A Pretty Table And Serve Me Raw Meat
Ask Me To Your Show But Don't Save Me A Seat
Say Together We Can Sail, Then Add Me To Your Fleet
The Perfect Pair Of Pants Are Ruined With The

Addition-Of-A-Pleat
I Demand A Flat Surface
Where I Can
Firmly-Plant-My-Feet
And Stand
It's My Democratic Right To Say Man You Should...

[Chorus]

Weary lyrics - amel larrieux

This woman is growing weary
Of having to be so strong
Of having to pretend I'm made of stone
So I won't end up with no broken bones
I can't fight every battle alone

I want someone to lift me
Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head
Say words that should be said
Fear is not the matter
I would so much rather open up my heart
And lay down my guard

[Chorus:]
If I could trust someone
To have my back and never do me wrong
Then I would give my love up
Just like that stop singing this soldier song
[repeat]

whomever said love was overrated
must not be getting none
my independent days have had their fun
but when the parties over
and the workin' day is done
I just want to come home to someone

I want a love to take me
As I am not make me compromise myself
Or be like no one else
Fear is not the matter
I would so much rather open up my heart
And just lay down my guard

[Chorus]

Morning lyrics - amel larrieux

Night
Passes Slow
Get Up Moon Go, I Can't Take It

My Thoughts
Weigh Me Down
And I'm Prisoner To My Blanket

Cuz I'm Thirsting For
The Brilliance Of The Glorious Return Of

[Chorus:]
The Morning

Sleep
Enter My Body
I Promise This Time We Won't Fight You

Dream
Come And Reveal
What My Mind Won't Let Me Feel, I Won't Deny You

Bird
Where Have You Gone
Come And Sing Me Your Song, I Won't Chide You

Sun
Come And Crack Open The Sky
And Let Your Golden Light Through

Cuz I'm Thirsting For
The Brilliance Of The Glorious Return Of

[Chorus:]
The Morning

Fear
You're Not Wanted Here
Hitch A Ride With A Tear Wash Away Then

Light
Is What I Yearn For

If Its Behind That Door, Then Let Me Break It

[Chorus]

Light
Is What I Yearn For
If Its Behind That Door, Then Let Me Break It

[Chorus]

Gills And Tails lyrics - amel larrieux

I Looked At My Reflection In The Water
Thought What An Unlikely Pair
Closed My Eyes, Held My Breath, Plummeted Down,Down,Down
And Anchored Myself There

Can't Tell How Long I've Been
In The Company Of Gills And Tails
I Think I Feel My Skin
Growing Scales

[Chorus:]
Can I Come Up For Air
Can I Come Up, Can Come Up
[X3]

I'm Gettin' Eaten Up Down Here
I'm Just Not Built Like Them
The Big Fish Have A Monopoly
The Little Fish Get Buried In The Sand

This Here World I'm In
Sucks Your Life Out, Leaves You Comatose
Take Back Your Salt And Fins
Send Me A Lifeboat

[Chorus]

I Look Up At Longing At The Surface
Hypnotized By The Way The Sunlight Seems To Ride Each Ripple
And They Do A Dance
Every Ray Becomes A Beckoning Hand
I Miss The Sweet Taste Of Oxygen
I Mistook This For The Promised Land

Magic lyrics - amel larrieux

We're Thoroughly Spent
Them Bills Are Stacked Up
The Budgets Bent
And Our Credits Jacked-Up
People Can't Take It
They Straight Settin' Fires
Not Tryin To Make No Trouble
Just Wanna Get Hired

The Stress Level's High
And The Moral's Low
And When It's Lookin' Like It's About To Blow
Your Mind To The Moon
Stop What You're Doin'
Tap Into Your...

[Chorus:]
Magic
Feels Good Soon As You Add It
If You Forget You Had It
Well, It's Right Where You At Kid
Reach Into You And Drag It Out
I'm Talkin' Bout That Magic
However You Can, You Must Grab It
Jump, Sit, Sing, Laugh It's
Magic

Were We Just Born To Work
Rather Born To Live
Still Paying For Your Education
When Your Sixty-Six
Mothers Feel Pressure To Choose
Fathers Don't See Their Kids
Lovers Can't Remember
The Last Time They Kissed

The Stress Level's High
And The Moral's Low
And When It's Lookin' Like You're About To Blow
Your Mind To The Moon
Stop What You're Doin'
Tap Into Your

[Chorus]

Just Once lyrics - amel larrieux

Little boat ,are you lost
Did the sea lead to nowhere
Are you faded, chipped and cracked
Need some tender loving care
Did a storm, break your course
Blow the wind out of your sails
Or do you stay close to shore
Cuz you fear that you will fail

[chorus:]
Every hour
Every minute
Every moment, happens just once
Every human
Every being
Every lifetime, happens just once

Little friend, are you blue
Cuz you're not like them at all
When you bend, to fit the box
Are you too big or too small
Do you lie to yourself
To make others comfortable
Or do you hide who you are
Cuz it's unacceptable

[chorus]

And I don't know what comes after
But if this life is just a test
Everyone may not pass with flying colors
But everyone deserves some happiness

[chorus]

Mountain Of When lyrics - amel larrieux

Aim To Be Strong
Fiddle With An Arrow
The Shot Is Too Long
Precision Is Not In My Marrow
What's Wrong
With Me Contentedly Singing My Own Song
But Not Heard The Music

The Writings' On The Wall
But I Took The Scenic Route
And I Can't Call
The Number's In The Pocket Of My Jeans
Through It All
Talking The Talk ,Running Before I Walk
Missing The Meaning

[Chorus:]
Plotting The Course
While I'm Stuck At The Bend
Penchant For Rocky Terrain And Dead Ends
Wind Myself Up Just To Unravel Into A Great,
Mountain Of When

Should've Is A Place
I Sometimes Frequent
Yet They Know My Face
Better At I Can't
But If There's A Wait
I Will Is Close By And When Stays Open Late,
The Menu Is Vast

[Chorus]

Predicting The Loss
Before I Begin
So It Don't Cut Too Deep
When I Don't Win
Not Like It's Working
For This Clever Lark
I Can Recite The Story
Behind Every Scar
Predicting The Loss
Before I Begin
So It Don't Cut Too Deep
When I Don't Win
I Hate It When I'm Right
Much Rather Be Wrong
I'd Rather Be Wrong

[Chorus]

"Bravebird" (2004)



For Real lyrics - amel larrieux

I can run, I can race for hours and hours
And don't stop
I can float I can fly us to the highest
Mountain top I can breathe you, I can drink in your laugh
I can... I can live on your smile I can trip and if I can fall into your arms I can
Stay there my whole life

[Chorus]
I can live
I can love
I can be better with you,
For real
I can hear
I can feel
I can see
I can tell
You are for real

I can stare; I can memorize your face, your hands, your hair
Every part of you I can cut off any loose ends and not even wanna keep a few
I can speak to you so honestly I can't even run any game
I can hear a million angels singing in my ears
When I say your name

[Chorus]

I can't smile, can't dream like a child
Can't feel safe in this wide world without you
I can't go can't disturb this flow
Can't begin to know what I would do
I can't see, can't find strength to be
Rather not be me without you
I can't deal, I can't even feel, without you I'm not real

[Chorus]

Bravebird lyrics - amel larrieux

In a land far away where the sun doesn't spare a soul
And a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold
Lies a desert with the footprints
Of little girls with a secret
Of a pain
That you and i could never know

Little feet running fast as they can like a bird in flight
Through the days of sand with a fire in the sky
And through indigo nights
She runs away from a life spent
Being witness to other unwilling participants
Of a pain
That you and i will never know

Your a bravebird
Of the rarest kind
You may be one of the walking wounded
But still you fly

Your a bravebird
You put yourself on the line
When you shared your secret with the world
You saved another mothers child as she speaks you can tell that
The words are not easy to say
The hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day
But she hasn't any regrets
Cuz' she won't become a woman with a secret
Of a pain
That you and i could never know
You and i could never know
You and i could never know

You're a bravebird...... a bravebird.....fly high.....
In the sky.....there you are

Dear To Me lyrics - amel larrieux

As gravity is to every human being
As the earth is to the trees
I couldn't drift away from your love because it's
Implanted in my memory

If there was some uncertainty

Your dear to me
You know who you are
You're alway here with me
You know who you are
You're dear to me and i hope you know who you are

Watching you slumber draen to the splendor
Of your face
When it's completely still
Standing under the flood of your laughter
Into every cell in me you spill

After you everything else is weak

[Chorus]

It's out of , out of my hands you see

[Chorus]

All I Got lyrics - amel larrieux

Got these feet
In these shoes
They walked a mile or two,
Got these legs
They've done work
That's left them black and blue,
Got these hips
They are wide
But they know how to move,
Got these hands
To lift the weak
Or slap down a racist fool

[Chorus:]
This is all I
This is all I got

Got this place
I call my home
But it's no Taj Mahal,
Got these pockets
They ain't full grown
But I won't steal from no one,
Got this heart
Well it's been broke
But it's still beating strong,
Got this song
It ain't much
But it helps me carry on

[Chorus:]
This is all I
This is all I got

Got a will
That lifts me up
When my body can't
Got a way
Of getting' through
With no helping hands
Got a mind
That lends me strength
So I ain't afraid to stand
Got a love
So deep in me
Can't be stopped by any man

Beyond lyrics - amel larrieux

Across the room
Across the street
Across the water where the two big blues meet
Across the widest space til you reach infinity
My love will still be

Beyond the sorrow
Beyond regret
Beyond the tremors of a quake you can't forget
Beyond the hardest times man you ain't seen nothing yet
My love will still be
My love will still be
It's out of , out of my hands you see

[Chorus]

In your present and future
Over and under
Inside and outside
Close and asunder
From the moment you awake
Til' the moonlight adorns your face
When your memory begins to fade
Never will my love
Above the sunset
Above the trees
Above the highs and lows that make up reality
Above the resting place of the body that I leave
My love will still be

We Can Be New lyrics - amel larrieux

Can you tell that I've been hurt so?
Can you tell I wanna lay low?
Can you tell that I'm a flower
Waiting for a sunshower?

Can you tell that love denied me?
I need someone to revive me
If you give me a reason,
I'll be with you through the seasons

[Bridge]

And we'll shed of our skin like trees do with leaves
We'll glide together down on winter breeze
And rest in the earth intertwined at the roots
Until we have grown into one, me and you...

[Chorus]

And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
And we can be new

Can you tell me a story
That ends with morning glory?
Can you tell I will believe you
If I could remember how to?

Can you tell the girl I once was
Come back, there's nothing here to fear, love?
If you give me a reason,
I'll be with you through all seasons

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Want to begin, want to begin to grow our new future, love
Where the ground is still fertile, full of hope and life
Never again, never again will pain and lies do you in
Let's bury them beside us, so they can remind us of when we...

[Chorus]

Your Eyes lyrics - amel larrieux

Your eyes greeted mine and whispered
Softly, softly
A secret only for me
Your eyes took their sweet time silently penetrating mine
Sent a wave
Through me through me
Straight through me , to me
Spoke to me softly
Just to me

Your eyes
The sleepy kind
So still and warm i had to dive so
Deeply deelply
To where you'd meet me , meet me
Those eyes round and sweet
Fruit they were and i had a piece and they
Filled me filled me
So full and sweetly
Spoke to me softly
Just to me

Sleepy eyes will we meet again
Do my eyes make you feel like im feelin

Congo lyrics - amel larrieux

Now Could we go to the square they call Congo
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone
Where the first of us stood before, before, before
Where we sat and played to revive our depleteted souls
Where we went to forget out freedom was not our own
Where we went to hold onto the memory of way back home

Now could we
Now could we
Now could we go

Get to cong, get to cong congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
[Repeat]

Now Could we go to the square they call Congo
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone
Where the first of us stood before, before, before
Where we made music in remembrance of human bodies sold
Where the sound of old pain became a new music of hoped
Where they paved me a road so i could get to Congo

Now could we
Now could we
Now could we go

Get to cong, get to cong congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
[Repeat]

And i would not be here today if they had not been So displaced, so displaced
But still
But still they made time to sing and play a song
A song in Congo

Get to cong, get to cong congo
Get to Cong, get to Congo
[Repeat until end of song]

Sacred lyrics - amel larrieux

Is there nothing sacred anymore
When
Celebrities are deified
And we're still calling some countries third world
And
Crimes against little ones
Are punished with little laws
And
Girls are taught to hide their curves
As though they're flaws
And other girls are taught to expose them but not own
Them and
Boys are taught
They can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore
In the 21st century
And I still get followed 'round in stores
And
Governments are using our money for
Reasons other than what they say they're using it for
And
Small countries fold as their
Big debt keeps on growing and
Silent pain is golden under the guise of religion and
Boys are taught
They can own it all

Is there nothing sacred anymore
Well maybe there never was, at all

Say You Want It All lyrics - amel larrieux

You Say You Want It All
To Dip Your Fingers In The Green
You Say You Want It All
The Sun The Moon And What's In Between
You Say You Want It All
Want The World To Know Your Face
Baby Haven't You Heard Every Star Can Be Replaced

Get Up lyrics - amel larrieux

6 am
Getting out of bed again
Can't get back in
Cuz sl eep ain't gonna pay the rent
Day to day
They got you working like a slave
Takin' credit for the work you gave
And stealing your raise
But I

[Chorus:]
I know you're down
When you gon get up
I see you're down
When you gon get up
I know you're down
When you gon get up
I see you're down
When you gon get up

People try
To pull the wool over your eyes
Don't know why
They want to profit from your demise
They lie
To cove r up how weak they are inside, oh
Baby, baby don't you cry
All you got's you r pride
So I

[Chorus]

[Chorus (repeat till end)]

I N I lyrics - amel larrieux

A little girl i was looking at a magazine
Wonderin' why i could never find to many girls that look like me
All i saw was hair so blonde and eyes so very blue
And the words under the picture said and you can get this look to
They cannot define beautiful to me
Someone elses eyes don't see what i see
Followin like i'm blind just won't do for me
God made me just fine that's why i got to be
Chorus
Ini, ini
[repeat]

Some people talkin bout when judgement day will come
Looking down upon those not down with their religion
You must believe in all they say and all they do
And if you don't then heaven's gate's are closed to you
I do not subscribe to their philosophy
I don't think my god wants them judgin me
Followin like i'm blind just wont do for me
God knows what's in my heart
That's why i got to be chorus:
Ini,ini

Sweet Misery lyrics - amel larrieux

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

I wish I didn't feel it
I know it just ain't right
But it seems to pop up in my head
Morning, noon, and night
I just can't release it
The memory of you
Mama never told me
Love would leave me so damn blue

And I got misery
Cause I know loving you's a sin
And I'll be on my knees
Praying that I don't give in
Now baby you and me
Never ever could have been
So I got misery
Because I'll love you till the end

You said that you loved me
That I'm your only one
But what you call monogamy
Is lying to everyone
Well I gave you your freedom
But that's not the end of that
Cause you reached in and stole my heart
And now I want it back

And I got misery
Cause I know loving you's a sin
You got me on my knees
Praying that I don't give in
Baby you and me
Never ever could have been
So I got misery
Because I'll love you till the end

I'm so blue
Can't let go of you
I'm so blue
Can't stop loving you
I'm so blue
Can't let go of you
I'm so blue

You give me sweet misery
Cause I know loving you's a sin
You got me on my knees v Praying that I don't give in
Baby you and me
Never ever could have been
So I got misery yeah
I'll love you till the end

Oh I know loving you is a sin

You got me on my knees
Praying that I don't give in
And baby you and me
Never ever could have been
So I got misery
Oh I got it bad, I got it bad
I got it so darn bad, so darn bad
Baby I'm praying that I don't give in, baby
You and me we never ever could have been
So I got misery cause I'll love you till the end
Oh baby, oh baby
Oh baby, ooh wee baby
Oh, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, baby
Sweet misery, sweet misery
Sweet misery
I got some sweet, sweet misery, misery
Misery, misery, sweet misery

Searchin' For My Soul lyrics - amel larrieux

Once I was happy
Once I was alive
The spirit of my guilty in the mimic of the sky
Watching lives be taken
Must be something in...
Cause every day is another for my spirit to survive

See I was lost oh where's the key?
Cause this soul's simply cramped outside of me

Somebody tell me where to go
Searchin' for my soul
Thought it was stayin' but now I know
Searchin' for my soul
It left an empty space you know
Searchin' for my soul
If you should see it send it home

I tried to be strong but my strength is getting weak
Happiness is clearing I hope I have the vision to see
I'm so heavy-hearted
I've got clearly blues
Lately I can't even bring myself to watch the news

Oh I feel the weight of all the world
Is resting on the shoulders of this girl

[Chorus]

Every time one of us goes down
Like I'm looking at my own blood on the ground
Seems like everybody's lost their minds
And I just might be the next one in line

[Chorus]

Searchin' for my soul
Searchin' for, searchin' for, searchin' for my soul
[Repeat]

Even If lyrics - amel larrieux

Never thought I would, find the words that could
Stand up through any weather
Something I could say, you could hear today
But stay with you forever
Just when I was losing my faith, and I was losing my way
It came to me as clear as day

[Chorus:]
Even if I wake up and find I'm alone
Cause the whole world's turned to stone
And my God says it's time I take you home
I'll be happy going knowing that I loved you

Innocent and mild, must be heaven's child
Sent to make me believe (Make me believe)
On my darkest night, all you have to do is smile
And you breathe new life into me
Just when I was losing my faith, and losing my way
You came to me as clear as day

[Chorus]
There'll be a time
When I'm gonna have to leave this sweet place behind
But baby before I go, I gotta make sure you know
'Bout the joy that you bring to my life

[Chorus 2x]

I'll be happy going knowing that I loved you [3x]

Infinite Possibilities lyrics - amel larrieux

21
Oh life has just begun
Got a temper like a gun
Pointing it at everyone
That's his game
And it helps him to get through the day
But a voice inside him says
How much longer can I play

[Chorus:]
He's got infinite possibilities
I can see them now
It's the unbroken chains of his past by which he's bound
He's got infinite possibilities
I can feel them now
If he chooses well, then nothing can tear him down

Peace of mind
Is not easy for him to find
And he's walkin' a thinner line
In a place where another man is keeping his time
Though he's young
He's not like everyone
He sees what he's become
And he'd rather be standing in the sun

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2x]

With infinite possibilities
Infinite...possibilities
Stand in the sun and see

Shine lyrics - amel larrieux

I made some decisions
Detrimental to my life
Put my trust in some translucent people
Now I see through them just fine
I've come back to the real world
And put my bitterness behind
Cuz revenge is not as sweet as my freedom
And no one's taking mine

[Chorus:]
Promises Broken
With endless waiting
Been so many mountains
I've had to climb
I got this feeling
Something is waiting
My destiny's changing
I'm about to shine

Experience has taught me
What I need to take me far
See I can mingle with my enemies
Cuz now I know who they are
I'm stronger then I've ever been
Got to be to survive
There's a test around the
Corner trying to bring me down
But I'll never make the same mistake twice

[Chorus]

[Break: x4]
Oh shine

[Chorus x2]

Down lyrics - amel larrieux

Down where I'm going
Down cause you dance me around
And you're too busy to see
Down boy did you let me down
There's a permanent frown where my smile used to be

Pride has kept me from crawling
But sorrow is constantly calling
'Cause you are a man who's not falling for me
Down I'm a fool of the tongue
Someone sendin' the clouds bad songs about me
Carelessly I let you saunter in and out of the chambers of my heart
The sky's as ...
Heartlessly and much too much again
You quickened your steps as you left
And that's where my soliloquy begins

Down ...
You're the wolf on the bound
I'm a helpless sheep

Carelessly I let you santer in
And out of the chambers of my heart
Disguised as a gentleman
Heartlessly and much too much again
You quickened you steps as you left
And that's where my soliloquy begins

Down my heart makes not a sound
It's somewhere on the ground
Breaking me...

Weather lyrics - amel larrieux

Whenever you awake and find your inner light is gray
Can I suggest a simple remedy to make your day
Open up your windows and then open wide your eyes
Let the vision peace of cool and golden yellow sunrise
You might be aching 'cause the one you love is far away
Think it is impossible to make it through another day

You can feel better take it from me
Just look at the colors of the fine autumn leaves
Let them put you at ease
As long as we have the weather
The dark skies will find us and the clear day to remind us
As long as we have the weather
The sunlight will guide us and the rain most surely find us

God created changing seasons not in vain
The beauty of the weather's here will sum distraction from our pain
Let the warm summers mist you let a winter snow fall and tramp you
You don't have to pay nothing today ..
Let the winter winds blow your pain away
Let the blue skies be your secret get-away
I got the anecdote to keep you cool
You should listen up because nature has no rules

[Chorus]

Make Me Whole lyrics - amel larrieux

Darling I want you to listen
I stayed up all night, so I could get this thing right
And I don't think there's anything missing
Cause a person like you, made it easy to do
I've waited for so long, to sing to you this song

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

I think the angels are your brothers
They told you about me, said you're just what she needs
And I find myself thanking your mother
For giving birth to a saint
My spirit flies when I say your name
If there's one thing that's true
It's that I was born to love you

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

You make my dreams
Come true over and, over again
And I honestly truly believe
You and me are written in the stars
I live my whole life through
To giving thanks to you

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

Don't Let Me Down lyrics - amel larrieux

I watch your lips moving
I see the words taking shape
But love's like a language
I cannot translate
I can't afford to be careless
And let you in
I turn my head for one minute
And lose everything

Wish I had someone whom I could lean
Cause everybody's always counting on me
With my hands held real tight
Always ready to fight
For the few pieces of joy I have now
You have turned on a light
And I've lost my sight
But my heart still remembers the sound
Of a dream of a love one day found
Of a dream of a love one day found
So don't let me down

Your past it may be rocky
But your present is clear
My present situation
Is the sum of all my fears
I take responsibility for the few things I done right
But I got so much on my plate
I'm scared to take another bite
Wish I had someone on whom I could lean
Still I don't want no one's charity

With my hands held real tight
Always ready to fight
For the few pieces of joy I have now
You have turned on a light
And I've lost my sight
But my heart still remembers the sound
Of a dream of a love one day found

Heartbreak and bullets can try
To steal any good from my life
Fathers and lovers have lied
Rivers have flowed from my eyes
Never seen love face to face
Just seen it walking away
Why would you think I would recognize
Something that's never been mine

You have turned on a light
And I've lost my sight
But my heart still remembers the sound
Of a dream of a love one day found
You're the dream of a love one day found
And the freedom from what kept me bound
And a promise of staying around
My eyes may not work for me now
But my heart sure remembers the sound
So if you saying it
Please say it loud
And don't let me down

Orange Glow lyrics - amel larrieux

I want to rise above
My fears before they burn my solar plexus
Don't want to fight
The new
Just meditate on the state
Of what I'm changing into

[Chorus]
Touch the light
Orange glow to wash your soul
Illuminate you
Out of sight
Burn your house of pain and watch the flames ignite your breakthrough

I want to take
That ride
To the planet where the brave me resides
And I will face
The fire
Cause ain't no breakthrough gonna come without no sacrifice

[Chorus]

I'm like
Vibrating as the liquid enters my fingertips
Pulses in my veins
From my toes to my lips
Fuels my brain
Frees my pain
Breaks my mental chains
Awakened I am
As I blink my third eye
One life
Have I
So it's time to live

[Chorus]
