Альбом Hayley Westenra

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught...
My heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear...
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares...
We have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
And Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
As long as life endures.

When we've been here a thousand years...
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow’r, I’d give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Summer heat weighing down on us
This boat is too weak and so in me, please trust
I will follow you
Please go ahead and I will be there soon

A dogwood flow’r, I’d give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

To the sky you reach out your hand
The songs of the clouds
Call you to distant lands
To the wind you call my name
Carried to the shore
The shore where I wait

A dogwood flow’r, I’d give to you
A blossom then, soon come to bloom

May the dreams you hold
The dreams that shine like rosen gold
Last forever
I wish for you to shine above
To radiate your endless love
May it last a hundred years from now

Together hand in hand we walked through evening gloom
Long shadows on the pavement, cast from the sunset sky
If only this would last until the end of time
And if this is forever I swear that I could cry

The northern wind starts to blow
And the smell of winter’s in the air
As we take each step upon the ground
The season of love grows near

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

With you by my side, to catch me when I fall
I can cast my fears aside; feel twice as tall
If only this would last, this smile upon my face
And if this is forever, you’re my saving grace

The nights were so cold without you
And the days were always short on light
Now a fire’s warming me through
And suddenly this upturned world is feeling right

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
And it comes from the bottom of my heart

If there comes a time when you have lost your way
I’ll turn myself into a star to guide you through
If ever you find tears upon your face
I will be there, always be there for you

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong
Watch as the city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night
Love that floats like wayward clouds, that’s not what we’re about
Sure and strong is my love for you
The city turns from grey to white
The day turns into night

We could share the very first snowflowers of the year
In your arms where I belong

Cold winds from the North blow
The sky casts its last glow
But you and I are standing strong

White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love
White is the colour of petals that fell
Oh, the sweet lily smell

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Blue is the colour of first love
Oh, the colour of our love
Blue as the sky on a clear summer’s day
On the meadows we lay

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Red is the colour of memories
Oh, the colour of the seas
Glowing in red from the sky above
When you gave back my love

He was my love, my first true love
A boy from the same land that raised me
White lilies at his feet
White is the colour of sweet true love
Oh, the colour of our love

Don’t stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Don’t stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die
I am the swift rush of birds in flight
Soft stars that shine at night

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

Don’t stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain

I am a thousand winds
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow
I am a thousand winds that blow

I see the river in the daylight
Glistening as it flows its way
I see the people travelling
Through the night and through the day
I see their paths colliding
Water drops and golden rays
Flowers bloom, oh, flowers bloom
On this blessed day

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom

I see your tears in the daylight
Glistening as they fall from you
I see your love escaping
Flowing free and flowing true
I want to make these rivers
Into something shining new
Let me make these flowers bloom
Let me make them bloom for you

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom

I want to take you to the river
Down to where the flowers grow
I want to show you the beauty
From our seedlings sown
They shine in red and blue
Butter-coloured yellow glows
Flowers bloomed, oh, flowers bloomed
See how our love has grown

Let the tears fall down
Let the laughter through
One day, oh, one day
The flowers will reach full bloom

Turning the pages of old photographs
I whisper thanks to each and every one
Deep in my heart you have come, come to live
Sure as the sun to see me through

Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
However far your memories may fade
Traces of you I hope to find
Then you appear and I drown in my own tears

I wish on a star, the first star of the night
You'll find me here every evening of the year
As twilight approaches I look to the sky
Seaching for you with all of my heart

In grief and joy I long for you and your smile
Hoping you feel the way I do
If only you could find me from where you are
I do believe somewhere in time
I do believe I will see you once again

Come rain or shine however the day may be
You shelter me with your smile
But as each memory of you fades away
I'm so alone longing for you
You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears

Missing you so I'm missing you so
You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears

I, I have a dream
A dream of you and me
We’re flying high above
We’re soaring over sea

Bless me with some wings
For I, so want to fly
These precious white wings
Will take me soaring high

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai…)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

I, I have a dream
We’re high above the trees
The wind is in my hair
The ocean breeze takes me

Tell me, what can I do?
To earn, earn me some wings?
Some precious white wings
To help me live my dreams

To the sun that lights the day
(Tsubasa wo kudasai, tsubasa wo kudasai…)
To the clouds that drift away
Only then will I be free
Past the city lights and haze
Through the autumn trees ablaze
In the sky, I am truly free
Just you and me

When the world gets me down I find myself
Reaching for that old leather-bound book
And there he smiles the gentle smile I know so well
And I am back where I used to be

Couldn’t speak when I saw you in town
I picked you out easily from the crowd
A mirror image of your high school photograph
You took me back where we used to be

So won’t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Willows spoke, willows swayed to and from
As we walked hand in hand by the riverflow
But now the views have changed that I used to know so well
Can’t take me back where we used to be

So won’t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Come light my way from where you are

Inside this fragile heart of mine
Lives uncertainty
A never-ending fear

And right before my eyes
The crossroads of my life
The path for me is clear

These doubts, lingering in my head
I must free, to let me move ahead

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can’t be wrong
I’m gonna keep going on
I believe

In this world full of lies
I see you trying to smile
A smile to survive

I understand your wary face
Your distrusting embrace
That I recognize

Black as night- the colour I used to be
No one could ever stain me

I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can’t be wrong
I’m gonna keep going on
I believe

And spreading right before me
The biggest sky I’ve seen
The colours engulf me
This is my dream
I believe myself
The more I believe I know
That believing is the start of everything to come
Woah, I believe myself
The burning light I see
It just can’t be wrong
I’m gonna keep going on
I believe myself

I believe
