Kind Of You 03:29
I didn't know what else to do Thought i was just kind of blue. I went through all the colours Found only grey, what could i do? I climbed up the rainbow and i realised I was just feeling a kind of you. Couldn't find you anywhere and so i wrote this song, Couldn't see you in the moonlight, Sugars please don't take too long. Hug me in the sunset, make it red instead of blue I was just feeling a kind of you... I was just feeling... I was just feeling a kind of you.

Lovely You 03:02
Couldn't take your smile with me Couldn't walk along with you, Didn't live enough to see All that lovely, lovely you. I didn't wait enough to smell The flower that lives in you, Didn't live enough to dwell In that lovely, lovely you. Smiling under the moonlight I think of you in every way, But the perfect dream for me would be To kiss you everyday. Once i felt a bit alone But only for a while, Cause than i saw you sweet With your lovely, lovely smile. For a long time i thought: How could i feel complete ? And then i fell in love With you, lovely, lovely sweet. Smiling under the moonlight I think of you in every way, But the perfect dream for me would be To kiss you everyday.

No Time 02:52
I gotta grab that smile That seems to hide from me. I gotta see, see, the meaning Of when you look at me. I gotta find that sweet kiss Promised by your lips, Than i'll find myself In time for loving you. Found myself walking on my own Going down this path of you I followed all the sound and colours So i could better understand you... Got no time for loving you! You gotta tell yourself How deep your eyes can be, So you can look to the world And understand what you see Don't let your hands get lost In the emptiness of someone else's thoughts, Or you can sink in time And find yourself an empty loss. Found myself walking on my own Going down this path of you, I followed all the sound and colours So i could better understand you... Got no time for loving you! Got this red fire out of me... Run to find a better blue... This is not the place for me... So i got no time for loving you!!!

Fall In Love 03:43
I don't wanna cry again The song that i once cried for you, Cause once i gave you my heart And you broke it into a million parts. I don't wanna fall in love again The way i fell in love with you, Cause once i gave you my heart And you broke it into a million parts, Then what could i do? I could blow my brain Or i could go insane But instead i stop and think of it And i wonder: what's wrong with you? As time passes by you I ain't got new things to say, Could see every you But just wanted to fly away. I don't wanna fall in love again The way i fell in love with you, Cause once i gave you my heart And you broke it into a million parts, Then what could i do? I could blow my brain Or i could go insane But instead i stop and think of it And i wonder: what's wrong with you?

Changing colours I need a change A chance to re-find me, Changing colours I need a change So i can re-find me. When i watch the sky, Sometimes i realise How deep is the blue. Walking on colours That change you Is to find your own rainbow. Painting feelings With your eyes Let's you spread your life, When i watch the sunset I feel that velvet red Melting my icy blue.
6.
Sometimes i wish i was the sky So i could see my reflection in your eyes. Sometimes i wish i was the moon So i could paint my midnight blue over you. But being nor sky, nor moon I could only pretend That i believe i could mean something special At the end... for you...

Friday she loves me, Saturday she loves me not, Sunday she couldn't remember me and on Monday she just forgot. Tuesday i got a velvet kiss Wednesday she loved me a lot, But thursday and friday she wasn't sure If she loved me or she loved me not, So, does she love me or she loves me not?
8.
Would you like to find a picture of mine Hanging on the wall of an empty room? Do you really try to find me Or is just something i presume? Would you walk in a town at night Searching for an empty room, Where the sun tries to shine In that picture of mine? Waiting for the hand to hold me, Waiting for a good night kiss. Can you remember all that Or is it just something you missed? Would you walk in a town at night Searching for an empty room, Where the sun tries to shine In that picture of mine?

For just a brief moment I thought i could have been someone else. For just a brief moment i thought i could have been someone else. Baby, than i realised I was thinking of you! For just a brief moment I thought i could have loved someone else. For just a brief moment I thought i could have loved someone else. Baby, than i realised There was no one but you. I was thinking of you. I could have loved anyone But you told me that i was the one, So i painted your colour on me There was no one my heart could see... no one but you.. I was thinking of you!!! And then, at the end, you say i'm sweet... but not enough...

The sweetness of your heart Made me start Loving you... The sweetness of your smile Made me happy for a while ... When you're in my arms There is no colour blue, I see the sunset in you... When you're in my arms I feel the world apart With the sweetness of your heart. The sweetness of your kiss Made me miss Lonely times... It's tender in your eyes That feeds the rainbow of mine... When you're in my arms There is no colour blue, I see the sunset in you... When you're in my arms I feel the world apart, With the sweetness of your heart.

about

Through out the sleepless nights i wandered on this cloths of passion. Moving towards the sunset i painted many colours with that sweet little heart of yours. My footsteps murmur the will to go no matter what's to come. I don't feel bad, i don't feel sad, i just feel cosy in this velvet blue.
