HIGH ABOVE THE EARTH
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

Beyond the seas of tears and all sorrows of the day
I’ll come knocking at your door to kiss it all away
Believing love is calling me to take a look into your eyes
Holding on to what I feel inside

Take my wings and learn to fly
Make a wish to touch the sky
Let me change your normal state of mind
Now it’s left far behind

Flying high above the earth
Where love feelings make us fly
Getting high
Flying high above the earth
We’ll be able to touch the sky
Climbing so high
Vow

Open up my book of memories and read the story of my life
Words and lines will tell you how I lived and how I loved
And when love sadness comes again and takes you for a while
I will be there for you to make you smile

Get your wings and learn to fly
Make a wish to touch the sky
Let me change your normal state of mind
Now it’s left far behind

Flying high above the earth
Where love feelings make us fly
Getting high
Flying high above the earth
We’ll be able to touch the sky
We’re climbing so high
Now

Flying high above the earth
Where love feelings make us fly
Getting high
Flying high above the earth
We’ll be able to touch the sky
Still climbing so high
Flying high above the earth
Where love feelings make us fly
We’re getting high
Flying high above the earth
We’ll be able to touch the sky
We’re climbing so high

I believe in love despite of all troubles in my life
In your arms dreams come alive and make me live again
I believe in love in spite of all troubles in my life
In your palms dreams come alive and I can live again

AIN’T IT LOVE
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

If you could feel what I feel
You’d make me feel at ease
You’d be the one who I need
Just like the air that I breathe
I find you deep in my head
And there is no one instead
What does it mean?
I can’t change the state I’m in

So, ain’t it love inside me
I’m falling in it and there’s nothing that I can do
So, ain’t it love inside me
When all what seems left is a hope that you feel it too

If you could read my every thought
Born inside my mind
You could be everything that I want
Until the rest of my time
And my heart says to itself
That it still needs no one else
So deep within
I can’t stop the state I’m in

So, ain’t it love inside me
I’m falling in it and there’s nothing that I can do
So, ain’t it love inside me
When all what seems left is a hope that you feel it too

And every night my heart is full of love dreams
But without you they all don’t mean anything
I want to share with you the light that you bring
To my dreams

I find you deep in my head
And there is no one instead
What does it mean?
I can’t change the state I’m in

So, ain’t it love inside me
I’m falling in it and there’s nothing that I can do
So, ain’t it love inside me
When all what seems left is a hope that you feel it too

Little hope that you feel it too
Little hope that you feel it too

IN EACH OTHER’S HEARTS
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

Yes, there’s something wrong with me today
I’ve lost my grip and hit the floor
I’m so afraid to lose my way
Ain’t got a reason to believe
In all your love you want to give
I’m in a maze

Now my heart is full of questions why
I try my best to find a way
That leads me to a better life
Where love can make me feel alive
Where life ain’t go in a minor key
That’s what I need, I really need

When there’s no place left to go
The last hope is gone and fallen to parts
I always try to prove myself
That love that we need is in each other’s hearts
In each other’s hearts

So, what are we really living for?
What you expect to get from life
When love comes knocking at your door
Are you afraid or feeling glad?
Do you believe it’s meant to be?
What can you say?

When there’s no place left to go
The last hope is gone and fallen to parts
I always try to prove myself
That love that we need is in each other’s hearts
In each other’s hearts

Why you don’t say words I want to hear
Light up my candles in the dark
To guide the way and break a fear
Just purify your words from lies
They can be blessing in disguise
But tell the truth, I need the truth

When there’s no place left to go
The last hope is gone and fallen to parts
I always try to prove myself
That love that we need is in each other’s hearts
In each other’s hearts

BABY WHY
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

If only you could see the tears
Remaining hidden in my eyes
If only you could steal the fears
Living in my heart
If only I could turn back time
I know I’d do it other way
I’d never ever say goodbye
And only prayed for you to stay

Baby why every time I think about you
I’m about to lose my mind
Just like I can’t do without you
In the world we left behind
Baby, say, why did you leave me?
In the world of my own
Even if you don’t believe me
I still face these nights alone

And I don’t want to fall asleep
As I don’t mean to miss a thing
You’re living in my every dream
As it’s meant to be
In my dreams I see your smile
And feel the taste of parting kiss
It takes me back a little while
When you and me shared love like this

Baby why every time I think about you
I’m about to lose my mind
Just like I can’t do without you
In the world we left behind
Baby, say, why did you leave me?
In the world of my own
Even if you don’t believe me
I still face these nights alone

Sometimes it’s hard to keep my heart unbroken
But after all I still believe that love will guide the way
For you and me
If only you could see

Baby why every time I think about you
I’m about to lose my mind
Just like I can’t do without you
In the world we left behind
Baby, say, why did you leave me?
In the world of my own
Even if you don’t believe me
I still face these nights alone
These nights alone

ALL I NEED BUT AIN’T MINE
(Lyrics By Curtis Ayles)

Another one night is getting close to my heart
You ain’t here tonight that’s why I’m falling apart
‘Cause love that I feel for you is dying in vain
And it brings me so much pain
Through my lifetime I try to make you all mine
I give you all what I’ve got in order to make you feel fine
And when there is no space left between you and me
Maybe, baby, you will see

You’re all I need but you ain’t mine
I’m living on all you
It makes me lose my mind and I can’t draw the line
You’re all I need, you’re all I need
The one I need and I live all you
But you’ve never loved me

Sleeping alone I’m left to my failed dreams
You could be love of my life or even more than it seems
But I’m still drowning in pain it happens time and again
So, I slowly go insane
My heart keeps on fighting and fortune will help me
One day I’ll break through it all, misfortunes won’t break me
I’ve got so much to learn about true love in this world
Wishing to learn it all from you

You’re all I need but you ain’t mine
I’m living on all you
It makes me lose my mind and I can’t draw the line
You’re all I need, you’re all I need
The one I need and I live all you
But you’ve never loved me

You’re all I need but you ain’t mine
You’re all I need
All I need, you’re all I need but you ain’t mine

ABANDONED
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

When your life seems like one broken mirror
Love is gone and there’s no one right here
You’re quite alone
With your heart that turns to stone
Without love inside
You feel it gets cold night after night

Out there now and forever
Try to hold on, we’d better hold on together
Don’t be so abandoned to grief
Don’t give it up, keep your faith and you’ve got to believe

When your life is so tough without changes
Find your love and you’ll find all missing pages
I’ve got to say
I’ve been there some time before
Every single day
Waiting for love to knock on my heart’s door

Out there now and forever
Try to hold on, we’d better hold on together
Don’t be so abandoned to grief
Don’t give it up, keep your faith and you’ve got to believe

Out there now and forever
Try to hold on, we’d better hold on together
Don’t be so abandoned to grief
Don’t give it up, keep your faith and you’ve got to believe
Out there now and forever
Try to hold on, we’ve got to hold on together
Don’t be so abandoned to grief
Don’t give it up, keep your faith and you’d better believe

THAT TIME
(LYRICS BY CURTIS AYLES)

Sometimes love can turn to hate
You said that you wouldn’t wait
Our loving got no fate anymore
It hurt me so deep in soul
It broke me down to the bone
And I was all alone with my tears
You got someone rich and cool
And I was a poor fool
Oh, it’s cruel, it’s so cruel but it meant we were thru’

That time, that time I was the only one
So broken waiting for the wind of change
But ready for writing my new life page
New lover came just like a hurricane
But I know I’ll never be the same again
Remember all lessons that I’ve learnt
You know that all our ships are burnt
Except some scenes from our memories
Like the day we did our first kiss

So, I was a poor fool
I carried your bag at high school
And tried to make all your dreams come true
You changed me for somebody new
Before that I gave my heart to you
So, why did you do me such pain?
Oh, girl

That time, that time I was the only one
So broken waiting for the wind of change
But ready for writing my new life page
New lover came just like a hurricane
But I know I’ll never be the same again
Remember all lessons that I’ve learnt
You know that all our ships are burnt
Our loving is left somewhere behind
So, tell me why you are still on my mind

 You’ve made me lose my self-control
As jealousy’s tearing my soul
My heart’s pushed away and it’s true
My life it was broken in two
Last night I gave my all to you
So, what can I do with it now?
Oh, girl

WHEN A CANDLE CRIES
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

You are so far away and I stay alone in the night
You left me to myself again and my heart got frozen inside
I would throw my mask away to avoid the words of goodbye
I see that you will always stay the reason why I live and I die

It’s a confession of my heart
So, please don’t break it all apart
Because this love keeps me alive

When a candle cries
My heart will never tell lies
Look into my eyes to save all my failed dreams of love
When a candle cries

You live in my broken dreams
I’m left alone to my fate
You stay in my stolen hopes
And I tell you straight
You’ve been my dream of youth
And I won’t hide the truth

When a candle cries
My heart will never tell lies
When a candle cries
My heart will never tell lies
Look into my eyes to save all my failed dreams of love
When a candle cries

When a candle cries

BACKSTREETS OF OUR LIVES
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

Would you try to steal a prayer sent to God above?
Would you leave me in despair to break my faith in love?
Is it unwise to change this life when all seems lost?
Do you know it to your cost?

Would you bite a hand that feeds just to get some more?
Would you heal a heart that bleeds broken to the core?
So, would you open up your heart if I closed the door?
When it’s all that we have got

Every word that is said reflected in my heart
When all it dies true love survives
In the backstreets of our lives

When you feel love’s just a dream and it walks on by
Lighting candles in the wind we just waste our time
But if there’s a will inside our hearts to take another try
Let it be the way to love

Sometimes I feel that life goes by
And failures cause my pain
Who spins the wheel of Fortune?
And turns the sunshine to the rain
While passing thru’ the darkness I hope I’ll find a way
As nothing lasts forever and I’ll see the light someday

When you wake up from a sleep of seeing life thru’ the lens
When the truth cuts you so deep breaking all your plans
If there’s someone who needs you and helps you breathe again
Let it be the way of love

Every word that is said reflected in my heart
When all it dies true love survives
In the backstreets of our lives

ABSENT HERE
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

I don’t know how I don’t know why
You came and occupied my thoughts
Maybe an angel touched my soul
I saw love heaven in your eyes
And there’s no doubt in replies
You made me lose my self-control
I know wherever I go
Whatever you do I know you can hear me

Now you’re absent here
I’m waiting for you to appear
To kiss my tears away
And make me feel
There’s nothing to fear
As you’re always near
So close to my soul

Maybe I’m crying for the moon
And I don’t know what’s gonna be
Maybe an angel breaks a secret
We all are in the hands of time
But I will keep you on my mind
And it will be a final answer
I know wherever I go
Whatever you do I know you can hear me

Now you’re absent here
I’m waiting for you to appear
To kiss my tears away
And make me feel
There’s nothing to fear
As you’re always near
So close to my soul
And you’re so close
So close

Now you’re absent here
I’m waiting for you to appear
To kiss my tears away
And make me feel
There’s nothing to fear
As you’re always near
So close to my soul
So close to my soul
So close

WANTED SO BAD
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

Here I’ve stayed again with my broken dreams
In a world of my own
Here I’m left all to myself as it seems
Another night to face alone

I’m put in a prison cell of my lonely days
It seems like hell and I want to get out of this place

Never thought you could be wanted so bad
Never felt how deep it hurts when you don’t feel love back
This night cuts me down to size and it makes me realize
Pushing hard my heart to cry out these words
You’ve been all I’ve ever had
And I still love you baby

Loneliness is coming into my heart again
It’s waiting for me by the door
Your love has been a shelter from the pain
But I don’t have it anymore

No, I don’t want to play on this waiting game
But all I know I’ve only got myself to blame

Never thought you could be wanted so bad
Never felt how deep it hurts when you don’t feel love back
This night cuts me down to size and it makes me realize
Pushing hard my heart to cry out these words

Never thought you could be wanted so bad
Never felt how deep it hurts when you don’t feel love back
This night cuts me down to size and it makes me realize
Never thought you could be wanted so bad
Never felt how deep it hurts when you don’t feel love back
This night cuts me down to size and it makes me realize
Pushing hard my heart to cry out these words
You’ve been all I’ve ever had
And I still love you baby


CALL ME BACK TONIGHT
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

I got so tired of being alone
It seems so hard to take it
It’s tough to make it on my own
When love is absent in your heart
It makes me so unhappy
It even makes me fall apart

I try to hide my tears of all my lonely years
When all my lifetime seems like passed me by
It cuts me down to size ignoring all my tries
To change the way I feel this life inside
Please call me back tonight

Sometimes we all have to believe
When even there’s no hope
And hearts are filled with pain and grief
Love is a game that people play
It really makes me wonder
Why I’m left in a blank dismay

I try to hide my tears of all my lonely years
When all my lifetime seems like passed me by
It cuts me down to size ignoring all my tries
To change the way I feel this life inside
Please call me back tonight

I try to fight back all the tears I cried
And thru’ it all I still hold on to what I feel inside

I try to hide my tears of all my lonely years
When all my lifetime seems like passed me by
It cuts me down to size ignoring all my tries
To change the way I feel this life inside
Please call me back tonight
Call me back tonight

ANNIE
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

When night comes down you give no reason
To stay with you until the morning light
You are not mine and there’s no treason
We’ve stayed apart as well as now tonight
So, can you read it in my eyes?
This night might be our last goodbye

Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
God knows I miss you so
Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
I’ve got to let you go

I know your heart has no intentions
Of getting close or being a friend to me
But love takes time and lots of patience
Maybe someday I’ll be the one you need
So, can you read it in my eyes?
This night might be our last goodbye

Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
God knows I’ll miss you so
Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
It’s hard to let you go

I need you so and have to say goodbye
Yes, I’m in love with you and I’m to blame
You took my breath away but I
Will have no chance to make you feel the same
So, can you read it in my eyes?
This night might be our last goodbye

Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
God knows I miss you so
Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
I’ve got to let you go
Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
God knows I need you so
Oh, Annie, sweet Annie
Who knows we’ll meet or no
Who knows…

I CAN’T SAY GOODBYE
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

Drowning in the sea of feelings
There is nothing I can do
I hope and pray that love won’t leave us
And it will stay with me and you
A little piece of happiness
Please don’t leave me face to face with loneliness

You say it’s meant to be
This night for you and me
Don’t ask me why
I can’t say goodbye
Baby, please don’t let me go
I know you want to know
The reason why
I can’t say goodbye

I’m overflowed with love emotions
And now I’m drowning in this sea
And if you locked your heart forever
You know I’d find a proper key
A little piece of happiness
Please don’t leave me face to face with loneliness

You say it’s meant to be
Read signs of destiny
Don’t ask me why
I can’t say goodbye
Baby, please don’t let me go
I know that you will know
The reason why
I can’t say goodbye

I’m just a man of your affection
But it can break my self-control
You offer me love and protection
Just like an angel saves my soul

You say it’s meant to be
This night for you and me
Don’t ask me why
I can’t say goodbye
Baby, please don’t let me go
I know you want to know
The reason why
I can’t say goodbye

I just can’t say
I just can’t say goodbye
