Introduction (Time for story-telling)

It's so beautiful outside,

it's so beautiful

and I want to be with you

when it's so beautiful

I want to share with you

my feelings of this weather

and I want so much

this time to last forever

to last forever

The flowers everywhere

are in bloom and smelling so nice

the sky is blue and clear,

such a pleasure for your ears and eyes

it's neither hot nor cold,

it's almost like in heaven

So please take a seat,

tune in and we will have it

we will have it.

It's time for story telling.

What I'd like to know

Dm/D,F,D,F

What I'd like to know is

Dm/D,F,D,F

Have you ever been kissed?

Bb/F,Bb,F,F

Have you ever been touched?

Gm Gdim/Am->Dm

This I'd like to know so much.

Dm Gm,7+,7

And I would mind if

Gm6 7+ 7 6

Your reply would be brief.

Gm6 Gm7 A7sus A7

But I just want you to be

Gm7 A(Adim) Dm/D,C,B,Bb(G,F,D)

Honest and sincere with me.

Tell me what disturbs your heart?

Why you feel uneasy now?

I know that I am not as smart.

But maybe I can help somehow.

I met you just a while ago

I wish I knew more than I do

I really want those things to know -

I feel that I'm in love with you...

Beauty and Beast

1:

I know you`ll be never mine

I know that it`s sad but true

I know that you even won`t find out

How much,

how sincerely I love you

2

It's only in fairy tales

The things happen as you wish them to

But in real life it's not the same

The beast

never finds a girl like you.

A girl like you.

Oh, o-oh. Oh..

Of course, somewhere long ago

I was naive and young.

I read a lot of happy sort of

stories about love.

But I grew older, things grew tougher

and I saw some years after

that it`ll never be like there,

it`ll never be the same.

It`ll never be the same

as in those old kind fairy tales

Verse 1 (singing as 2)

Verse 2 (singing as 1).

I need you

I want you

now...

Strange Disease

Am G Dm

And nothing else can be done

Dm Am

than leave herself on her own

Am G Dm

Let tears of rain, smile of sun

Dm Am

inhale the breath in her soul

E Am G F E

Since I don't know it's you or me

Since I don't know it's he or she

E Am G F E

I can't tell anything of this strange, very strange disease

I would give her all I can do

But I can't do this, and it's true

All I can

is to pray

that the sun-rays

would melt smile

at her face

smile at her face

smile

at her face.

2:

Once she was flower of white

Now she is fading away

Shadow of a pain in her eyes

She becomes weaker each day.

And I don't know what's going go on

How to stop it and what is wrong

I'm torn apart

when I think of her tender heart

All my efforts will be in vain

They will just aggravate her pain

So I go

and I pray

that the sun-rays

would melt smile

at her face

smile at her face

smile

at her face.

Instrumental

Verse 1

inhale the breath in her soul

inhale the breath in her so-ul

Reverie

From romance to philosophy

C F

I need somebody loving me

C A Dm

I need someone to share my hope and pain

G C

I cannot stand no more the life alone

E7 Am

So abandoned in this world

Dm Fdim C F#dim C

E Am Am Dm E Am (D) G

I do need somebody by my side

But when I find someone like you

who is so kind, so tender, so sincere

I get so scared that it's not for me

you must be already somebody`s

or that you will be gone one sunny day

Oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh ...

And then it will be even worse

'Cause in addition to the loneliness

I`ll feel the loss of you as of my hope -

Hope to find someone who loves

Life would lose then all its sense for me.

So what I want? - nobody knows.

A peace of mind or restless sleepless nights?

It's time to come up with an idea

Which would allow me to live here. -

Mind determines what a flesh would be.

Oh, Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh ...

She doesn't want it

C C

She doesn't want it, no

D D

So please leave her alone

Dm Dm

And don't bother her

G79 G# G

With your annoying signs of love

She has another

goal

There are some other

girls

So, don't be silly

go

And do not waste your time with her

R1: Cm

And please don't look so sad, so sad

You should be glad

You should be gla-a-ad instead,

F Fm

Cause she inspired you for song

F#dim

And didn’t obliged you

Fm G7

to anything at a-all.

Verse

R2: And now you're free, you can shout and scream

And you can do whatever you would only dream

You can put music on and sing along

And maybe even write

a very descent song!

She doesn't want it / Oo-ooh la-la-la / oh, this love…

You Are The One!

I looked for someone to love me

And now I know that you are the one

I want you to be

Days and nights with me

Share all the beauties of life

And now we`ll be together

And now we'll like a one

Whatever will be

Most likely will be

Which means we`ll be in love till the end of our day

R1:

I want you to be

Days and nights with me

I'm true when I say

that I will love every day

But if you don't care

But if you don't care tell me so

It will be so hard

For my heart

But I will go

And then I'll find somebody else

The one who will treasure my love

Who'd love to be helped

And who`d love to help

The one I can rely on

And then I will be ha-a-appy again

and she`ll feel very sad

She'll love to come back

and be love to be mine

But no that's so sad

that I won't change my mind

R2:

You want now to be

Days and nights with me

I know your are true

when you say that you love me too

But those days are gone

And we will be apart

I thank you for all you have done -

This song will stay in my heart!

Diamonds

Diamonds,

You think I'll bring you

Diamonds

But I'm not the one with

Diamonds

I give more than

diamonds.

Diamonds

are only the glitters

Diamonds

You'll get your cursed

Diamonds

But what you'll say

the next month

when you'll get your diamond ring in your hand,

when the cost of doing that is your man

You're used to selling souls like gems

and never wondered who I am

You never put the heart in the words that you said

Diamonds

can not reflect

my tear drops

can not keep warmth

of my hand

They always cold as

icebers.

Diamonds

possess the wicked

powers

They blind your pretty

blue eyes

Deriding everything

around us us

What a kind and innocent girl you were

And how suddenly it all disappeared

Like a thunder from blue sky

Your tender heart got stultified

You were so terrible diverted.

Diamonds

they left behind us

shivers

the ashes of our

love bonds

Oh, how can I say

"Diamonds"

Diamonds

It's hard to believe in good

tales songs

That love and good heart

have even won

Your broke my love

and my life ...

On a lazy afternoon (Was it real?)

On a lazy afternoon

When you hold my hand in your hand

No you didn't understand

What you did - you've broken my heart

When you looked in my eyes

Talking to me so softly

And you could not disguise

What a feeling you brought to me

I realized in the moment -

I caught by your love

On a lazy afternoon

I confessed to you that I love you

And you told me that you love me too

And you knew that this was just the start

And the sky was so blue

And the grass was so soft and

the words "I love you"

where spoken and spoken

as we plunged ourselves in the depth

of the abyss of our love.

On a lazy afternoon

You where in my heart and in my legs (hands)

And I did not notice when

You vanished in the heat of summer day

I was all by myself

in a total confusion

What was it? Was it real?

Or it was my illusion?

I was there all alone, bare naked

with my broken heart.

On a lazy afternoon...

For Every Girl and Boy

Every girl is waiting for someone to come

To kiss her, to hug her and make some love.

And if she is just standing all on her own,

Don`t doubt it she doesn't want to be alone

So, come and get her

Common, and take her!

Of course, be kind, polite, considerate, respect her.

she may know it yet

but She'll learn it later

And maybe then she will remember this day through all her life!

And the same is with guys, they're all much the same,

Nobody would like him be the one to blame

That he feels so sad, he feels so alone

When he is just standing all on his own

So, do not waste your time

Just come to him and smile

And you will see how fast how gently you can change his mind

And he will follow you

And you may like it too,

And maybe then, who knows, you'll end up with a happy life.

He and She

She was happy and he was happy

Living lives and being busy

Having job that satisfied

their feelings and their needs.

Many people would be jealous

knowing where they worked as well as

seeing how they lived and travel

being best in their deeds.

But sometimes something inside

told them that not all was right

There was something deep inside

Something they were thinking of

And they would not sleep at night

thinking about their lives

there was something missing there

And this something was their love.

They always knew what they liked to do

and they liked what they were doing too

They knew how to find their way

in the turmoil of rushing days.

And the days were passing by

With a guitar here am I

making up for you this story.

Is there something I forgot to say?!..

But sometimes (but sometimes)

Something inside (something inside)

being hide (being hide)

and cannot be denied (and cannot be denied)...
