After calling you my moon
I realise it’s not enough;
I spoke too soon –
The moon’s only worth half my love;
This time I’ll get it right:
Moonbeams are just a reflection
The main source of light –
You are my sun.

Let Shakespeare compare his love to a summer’s day
Your worth can only be appreciated on a winter’s night
White snow, black ice, cold winds cannot hold sway
Your warm, warm body wrapped around mine so tight;
When you move the world stops to stare
You give me strength – and make me weak
Flowers are fair, diamonds are rare
But you are unique.

Raise your hand … reach up so high
True love has wings … touch the sky
This moment in time
Yours and mine
This moment divine
Yours and mine
This moment in time
Yours and mine.
Before we start, let me tell you straight
Don’t waste Time, the worms lie in wait
I love you, love me before it’s too late;
I promise to always love you in style
Even if we are together for a short while
Look back and remember with a smile;
This one moment we will never regret
This one moment to only connect.
This moment in time
Yours and mine
This moment divine
Yours and mine
This moment in time
Yours and mine.
Stop Father Time, break his hands
Order him to obey your commands
Make him follow your demands;
Reach for a star and write your name
Stake your claim to everlasting fame
Every great love in history does the same;
This one moment close to oblivion
This one moment close to heaven.
This moment in time
Yours and mine
This moment divine
Yours and mine
This moment in time
Yours and mine.
Write it down on History’s page
Return to the moment in another Age
After us others will take the Stage;
For each of us there will be other relations
For each of us there will be other liaisons
For each of us there will be other passions;
This one moment before we are lost in the mist
This one moment to know why we exist.
This moment in time
Yours and mine
This moment divine
Yours and mine
This moment in time
Yours and mine.

You have a voice that expresses the way I feel
You have a voice like the laying on of hands that heal
Lata, please, help me, help me forget
The girl I never should have met;
I’ve had her but I cannot have her
She’s my life but I have to live without her
I love her with an obsession
She will never be my possession.
Songbird, sing to me
Sing to me sweet and low
Fill my ears with melody
Before my tears begin to flow
Your soothing voice comforts me
Eases the pain to think she had to go.
So much melody pouring out from such a small chalice
Only God could have blessed you with such a voice …
Once upon a time we made love to your songs of joy
We sang along, we swore nothing would our love destroy;
Those days have gone as if they had never been
Sweet nothings I whispered have turned into a silent scream
She pierced the heart I had given her and left me to bleed
Blessed angel, sing and comfort me in my hour of need.
Songbird, sing to me
Sing to me sweet and low
Fill my ears with melody
Before my tears begin to flow
Your soothing voice comforts me
Eases the pain to think she had to go.
I am gripped by emotions I cannot understand
I am torn by forces I cannot comprehend
She said if she married me her parents would die
What about me? … I have a lifetime to cry;
The path of love is covered with flowers and blood, flowers and blood
The path of love is littered with corpses who drowned in the flood
Oh, Lata, please, pour your nectar into my ears
Help me, help me before I drown in my own tears.
Songbird, sing to me
Sing to me sweet and low
Fill my ears with melody
Before my tears begin to flow
Your soothing voice comforts me
Eases the pain to think she had to go.

Rosemeen, why are you in England?
What are you doing here?
This is not your soil or your land
Your roots are in Kashmir;
Your skin reminds me of those snow-capped mountains
Your voice reminds me of those singing silver streams
Your eyes remind me of those deep valleys and misty plains
Your lips remind me that your kisses are more than just dreams.
Rosemeen, you are without a peer
Your beauty is beyond compare
The sun smiles when you appear
Songbirds wing through the air
Flowers bloom when you are near
Rosemeen, rose of Kashmir.
Imagine a body that makes every organ thirst
Imagine angels singing a melody so divine
Imagine a face that makes your heart burst
Imagine a rose that’s been watered with wine;
If I could bottle your perfume
I would be a millionaire overnight
If I could plant you in my room
I would love you day and night.
Rosemeen, you are without a peer
Your beauty is beyond compare
The sun smiles when you appear
Songbirds wing through the air
Flowers bloom when you are near
Rosemeen, rose of Kashmir.
There’s not a pear in the world
That has curves like your hips
There’s not a rose in the world
That’s as red as your lips;
There’s a ‘heaven on Earth’ just for you
Go back to Kashmir before you get hurt
I will be waiting there to pick you
And wear you next to my heart.
Rosemeen, you are without a peer
Your beauty is beyond compare
The sun smiles when you appear
Songbirds wing through the air
Flowers bloom when you are near
Rosemeen, rose of Kashmir.

In the time it takes to blink
You sealed my fate with a wink
One look said all there was to say
My blood on fire, you took my breath away
A sledgehammer started pounding in my chest
My heart now beats in your tender breast.
You robbed me blind with a crook of your eye
Your thieving eyes (x2) stole my heart away
I wanted to shout but I could only sigh
Your thieving eyes (x2) stole my heart away.
I just stood there as if I had lost my voice
Your eyes, oh, your eyes left my heart no choice
Time stood still as you looked my way
I swore I would love you till my dying day
My heart missed a beat as if about to die
My feet were rooted but my soul touched the sky.
You robbed me blind with a crook of your eye
Your thieving eyes (x2) stole my heart away
I wanted to shout but I could only sigh
Your thieving eyes (x2) stole my heart away.
I want to drown myself in those twin pools
I want to see myself in those sparkling jewels
I want them to look at me and smile
I want them to invite me all the while
How can your innocent eyes be so wicked?!
I want to look into each one and kiss it!
You robbed me blind with a crook of your eye
Your thieving eyes (x2) stole my heart away
I wanted to shout but I could only sigh
Your thieving eyes (x2) stole my heart away.

Honey-child, it hurts me to see the pain in your eyes
Once those eyes sparkled with a light all their own
But since he came along with his loving lies
Your face has worn nothing but a frown;
Peace of mind is a thing of the past
Happiness has vanished without a trace
Please don’t think love can never last
Let me in – let me fill that empty space.
You gave him everything with all your heart
It cut you like a knife to discover
He had been cheating on you from the start
But I will help you to recover;
I will give more than a hand
I will hold you in a warm embrace
I will be your loving friend
Let me in – let me fill that empty space.
Sometimes the end can be a new beginning
Trust me, babe, put your faith in me
One of these days I will have you smiling
As from now I will do my best to make you happy;
I will keep the bogeyman from your door
You will wake up with a smile on your face
Let me be the man you are living for
Let me in – let me fill that empty space.

My sweet love, you will live till the end of time
With eternal rhymes I will build you a shrine
So long as there are songs men will sing that you are mine
With your song you will live till the end of time.
I bless the day I first made you mine
For evermore I will drink your lips of wine
Till eternity we will make love so divine;
Two hearts beat as one, two bodies entwine
Every little thing has its moment to shine
But your flame will burn for all time.
My sweet love, you will live till the end of time
With eternal rhymes I will build you a shrine
So long as there are songs men will sing that you are mine
With your song you will live till the end of time.
Nightingales have bells that can really ring
But they only seem to sing in the spring
My love song to you will be everlasting;
Flowers of every kind bloom and fade away
Nothing in this world is here to stay
But you, my love, will live for ever and a day.
My sweet love, you will live till the end of time
With eternal rhymes I will build you a shrine
So long as there are songs men will sing that you are mine
With your song you will live till the end of time.
We will live our days loving the nights
Together we will scale the heights
I will show you all the sights;
Other boys promise to always love thee
But a promise is not a guarantee
My love, only I can give you immortality.
My sweet love, you will live till the end of time
With eternal rhymes I will build you a shrine
So long as there are songs men will sing that you are mine
With your song you will live till the end of time.

Baby, no matter how hard they try
True love will never die
No matter how much they make us cry
True love will never die
Whatever happens we’ll never say goodbye
True love will never die.
Your parents beat the living daylights out of you
My parents try their best to turn me against you
They say we are from a different caste and religion
They warn us but we are too far gone …
Mummy and Daddy, please don’t preach
We are already out of your reach.
Baby, wipe the tears from your eyes
True love will never die
I’ll make sure you never cry
True love will never die
When you need me I’ll be close by
True love will never die.
They do their best to keep us apart
But they can’t separate the love in our hearts
If I can’t see you when I want, babe, then
I’ll bide my time and see you when I can
I’ll take you in my arms and kiss away your tears
I’ll keep you from harm and soothe all your fears.
Baby, please don’t cry
True love will never die
Hold your head up high
True love will never die
Somehow we’ll get by
True love will never die.
Mama – it’s natural for boys and girls to get together
Papa – that’s how it’s always been and will be forever …
One fine day, babe, we’ll make love all night
One fine day, babe, everything will be alright
But to make that day come around
We have to get off this merry-go-round.
Baby, reach for the sky
True love will never die
Spread your wings and fly
True love will never die
Nobody has a love like you and I
True love will never die.
