All There Is (Copyright Sheila Soares 2016)
The things we want to do but can't
The pressure of your mouth on mine
Never to feel it
The things we want to have but don't
That moment we would fall in love
Never to believe it
This high flyin', sky divin'
Then we're down, down so low
Sweet talkin', lie tellin'
Tears will flow
And that's all there is
No more
A clumsy conversation
Is definitely not what we
Desire to exchange
A hundred years of history
Trippin' over words we try
So neatly to arrange
Repeat Chorus
(Vocal solo)
What precision made you turn
The moment something made me look at you
Was it just a trick of light and life
And why don't I remember what to do?
The things we want to understand
But maybe never will I guess
Oh love is still one
A quarter million people
And it's you who's got me standing here
Nowhere to run
Repeat Chorus
Coda:
Tears will flow
Tears will flow
Tears

Constellation ©Sheila Soares 2015
You’re my consolation, in darkness I can see
You’re my constellation, shining there for me
I’m living with the consequence of a love that isn’t true
Looking for my confidence inside this life so blue
You’re my consolation
My constellation
Needs no explanation, saturate me with your love
I feel this extrication, you rescue from above
You’re sharing all the innocence of a love that feels as new
You’re touching every circumstance, changing up the view
You’re my consolation
My constellation
Vocal solo
And though it was a dream, silver threads of it were true
I try to grasp the memory, the mercury of you
You’re my consolation
My constellation
You're my consolation
My constellation

Les Fraises Sur La Lune

Les Fraises Sur La Lune
Je cherche des fraises sur la lune,
Où peuvent-elles être?
L’homme de la lune les a mangées peut-être.
Où sont des fraises?
Où sont des fraises sur la lune?
Des fraises sur la lune,
C’est un peu ridicule.
Le jardinier a disparu et là, il ne pleut plus.
Où sont des fraises?
Où sont des fraises sur la lune?
Avec des fraises on peut faire la compote.
Le goût si bon, si doux et si délicieux.
Mais vraiment, je désire quelque chose qui est mieux,
Mais tout aussi difficile à trouver
Comme des…
Fraises sur la lune
Existent dans mes rêves
Mais je regarde la lune et garde l’espoir sans trêve.
Où sont des fraises?
J’aurai des fraises sur la lune

Forever Blue

Forever Blue
If I never kiss you
I’ll be forever blue
If I never know your heart
I’ll be forever blue
Let stars fall
The moon can fade
Play that final tune
I'd rather live in darkest silence
Than be forever blue
Have I known you always,
Is this a myth that’s true?
Was your name written on my soul,
So I would now find you?
I want to hope
That one day soon
We could believe it's true
But it would seem no one can hold you,
And I’ll be forever blue
You think there’s only one way
To break a person’s heart
In fact, there are so many ways,
Together, or apart
You break mine
By standing there
And simply being you
But, I will let you break my heart,
And be forever blue

Hold On To Her

Hold On To Her
Hold on to her 'til the sun goes
Hold her - so you don't go
She longs for your hands, heavy, low on her back
As you whisper her name soft and low
Hold on to her 'til the sun goes
Use all the strength you can find
And if you're in doubt, she's not gonna leave
She's got your heart on her mind
Slow dance, comin' down
Slow dance, comin' down
Slow dance, comin' down
Slow dance, comin' down

Want You the Rest of My Days
Oh, I know it’s wrong
I know it’s a lie
You think I am sweet, and safe, and maybe a little bit shy
But I’m lookin’ at you
In a way you can’t see
If you could - you wouldn’t believe the longing in me
Chorus:
Oh, I’m not your friend
Despite what it seems
'Cause I want to touch you and love you in ways that you’ve only dreamed
No, don’t you be fooled
By my innocent ways
Yeah, I want you, I want you, I want you the rest of my days
Oh, I know it’s me,
It’s just all in my mind,
You’re not mine to have and that proves love is cruel and unkind
Oh, I just want to taste,
Your mouth and your skin,
’Til we both lose control, let the lust and the love pull us in
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental solo
Oh, I know you’re good
And you’d never stray
I’ll just keep my hands and my thoughts to myself and start backing away
But you’ll burn in my soul
Fuel my want and my need
Yeah, I’ll love you again and again in this blind fantasy
Chorus

The Forgetting
How will we continue to exist if you forget
Don’t you know these memories are us
Let them go and you untie the bond I feel with you
And all that trust
All that trust
Asking me about the things I’ve told you, even twice
Things I thought we both were dreaming of
Wondering if you’re listening now to someone else’s heart
With all that trust
All that trust
Have we reached the time of the forgetting
Words are failing, fading into black
Memory used to bring us home together
I’m scared you are forgetting the way back
Vocal solo
Don’t you know it’s me that I will blame
Setting myself up to take the fall
Giving you so much, how could you possibly
Remember
Remember
It all
Have we reached the time of the forgetting
Words are failing, fading into black
Memory used to bring us home together
I swear you have forgotten the way back
All that trust
All that trust
Turns to dust
