Lyrics to Painted Memories (Memorie di Napoli) :
There's an old man who lives in the same city as me,
Well he's old and a' wrinkled and a'loosing his memory,
But he paints them on canvas, before they fly away,
And sells them at the market on Wens-day.
Well today he sold a favorite memory of mine,
It's the bay of Sorrento where the sun it still does shine,
The sky is just the perfect blue, the waves are calling you to stay.
There's an old woman who owns a fur coat shop downtown,
She tells me how nice it is when he holds her hand,
Cause their love only grows stronger as their days grow longer,
They've forgotten how to live without each other.
Well I'm walking the streets and I am all alone,
It's been quiet a long day and now I'm going home,
The street lights they do follow me, whispering my destiny today.
When I am old and grown I'll be singing and playing for all to hear,
I'll tell about all my dreams and my fears,
Cause I'll be singing my memory and playing my life away and,
Everything that I hold dear to me.
I will come home and we'll both be, both be so happy,
We'll hold each others hands and it will all be just as it should be,
We'll be sitting there just waiting for forever to take us away.
When I am old and grown I don't want to have anything to fear,
But there's nothing to fear when the ones you love to you are near...
*Note for 'Painted Memories/Memorie di Napoli' This is my song dedicated to Naples, where I lived for three and one half years. All the experiences and people are real.
Lyrics to 'Shine'
Another day has ended,
Another night, another night is sinking in,
Now she closes her eyes,
Cause it's the end, the end of the day,
She wishes she could just go back and do it all again,
And see that face that for her is like an old friend,
Cause you never know when good things end,
And the night is sinking in,
Chorus
The day is gonna come back again,
Life is gonna love you like a friend
Life is gonna shine,
Love is gonna be mine,
So shine
Another heart is moving on,
Another storm, another storm is sinking in,
But without the water the plants wouldn't grow,
Without the sour the sweet we'd never know,
She thinks as she goes dancing in the poring rain,
She'll never go back again to her old ways,
Cause ahead there's better and brighter days,
And she's falling, falling with the rain,
Chorus
