Dear Mama

 (Camilla Larsen)  © 2006

What is going on, dear Mama
Is there something we should know
Something is wrong, dear mama
You don't smile so bright no more

Are you lonely , my dear Mama
Are there tears inside your mind
Could it be you  still are searching
For a piece so hard to find

Is there a life behind the shadows
Are flowers growing there
Does life survive in darknesss
Is there a better life out there

Can I hold your hand, dear Mama
A hand so soft and strong
Smile to me dear Mama, won't you
Tell me there's nothing wrong

Do you want to fly , my Mama
Fly away and say farewell
There's a storm inside your heart, sweet Mama
You're not happy, I can tell

Is there a life behind the shadows
Are flowers growing there
Does life survive in darknesss
Is there a better life out there

But brighten up dear Mama, won't you
There are better times to come
Tomorrow brings a brand new day
Ain't you happy you got me

There's a life behind the shadows
Flowers growing everywhere
And life will survive in darkness
'Cos there a better life out there.

Butterfly

(Camilla Larsen)  © 2006

A butterfly can fly
Almost without it's wings
But mine are too broken
Will I ever fly again?
Will I find this butterfly in me?

I have prayed, heaven know's I have
Can this damage ever be undone?
My heart sings, though it's out of tune
Please help me, help me fly again.

So tonight, hold my hand, hold me tight
Make me feel like a butterfly again
Hold my hand , hold me close
And tomorrow, I might be
A butterfly again

There's no need for you to ask
'Cause I'm not in hold of any answers
All I know is that I would like to find
This butterfly in me

So tonight, hold my hand, hold me tight
Make me feel like a butterfly again
Hold my hand , hold me close
And tomorrow, I might be
A butterfly again

I wish I could tell you
what's been praying on my mind
But the words are so far away
They are so hard to find

So tonight, hold my hand, hold me tight
Make me feel like a butterfly again
Hold my hand , hold me close
And tomorrow I might be
A butterfly again

A butterfly can fly
Almost without it's wings
Ther's a time for everything
Today turns into yesteryear
While a butterfly
Flies into my heart.

Is This All There Is?

I have traveled far to be sitting here with you
And I will leave this place alone
That's a sad and simple truth
There is so little time and so much to say
And I'll be none the wiser
When I leave you here today

Is this all there is
I wanted so much more
The gold in those hills
The silver of the moors
And now that I'm here
Looking you head on
You're the treasure that I left behind
And all I'll ever miss
The blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is

It always stops me cold everytime I hear your name
The friends that we have shared
Know I'll never love the same
I still hear your voice echo through the days
Yet it never breaks my stride
'cuz we would always end this way

Is this all there is
I wanted so much more
The gold in those hills
The silver of the moors
And now that I'm here
Looking you head on
You're the treasure that I left behind
And all I'll ever miss
The blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is

We were really something
Holding hands and walkin'
Now, no amount of talkin'
Could lend this love a place to go

Is this all there is
I wanted so much more
The gold in those hills
The silver of the moors
And now that I'm here
Looking you head on
You're the treasure that I left behind
And all I'll ever miss
The blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is

Just Because

(Camilla Larsen)  © 2006

If I'm seem distant,
Is it just because
for me you are too near
And if I close my eyes
Each time you're in the room
Is it just because
I see you too clear

If I'm silent
Is it just because
I'm in lack of words
And if I cry when you smile
Is it just because
It sometimes hurts
'Cause you have this very heart of mine
I could give you anything
Anything you need
You have my heart
So take my soul
I could give you everything

If I don't meet your eyes
Each time you talk to me
Is it just because
You see I'm so afraid
to lose this war inside of me
'Cause you have this very heart of mine
I could give you anything
Anything you need
You have my heart
So take my soul
I could give you anything

If I'm seem distant,
Is it just because
for me you ar too near
And if I close my eyes
Each time you're in the room
Is it just because
I see you too clear
'Cause you have this very heart of mine
I could give you anything
Anything you need
You have my heart
So take my soul
I could give you anything

Let Me Stay

(Camilla Larsen)  © 2006

I'm watching every move you make
See I have this dream
come on closer
Life ain't always what it seems
It can make you fall apart
It can make you fly
And when you smile to me
You make me high

Let me stay with you
And leave the world outisde
I wanna feel your heart
Beat down on me

I'm looking at your fingers play
Do they play for me?
Oh, I'm burning
Can't you see?
Life is a countdown
Tomorrow's far away
It's right here, right now
Let me stay

Let me stay with you
And leave the world outside
I wanna feel your heart
Beat down on me

Life can make you fall apart
It can make you fly
Stay in this moment
Right here with me

Let me stay with you
And leave the world outisde
I wanna feel your heart
Beat down on me

Du

(Camilla Larsen)  © 2006

Du e en drøm æ drømme
Lyset når natta bli lang
Du gjør storm te kjærtegn
Du e tonan i min sang


Der du går veks rosa
Dæm smile, dæm e mang
Du e sola over bratte fjell
Du e tonan i min sang

 Kjæm æ imot dæ
Vær så snill å åpne opp
Gi mæ et sekund, lån mæ litt tid
Kjæm æ imot dæ
Vær så snill å åpne opp
For alt vi har e her å no
Alt vi har
E her å no


Du e en drøm æ drømme
Når natta bli for lang
Det du vil ha, det kan du få
For du e tonan i min sang


Bridge:
Du gjør sekund te evighet
Men evigheten e for kort
Når dagen skifte farge om igjen
E du en drøm æ drømme

Sommerfugl

(Camilla Larsen)  © 2006

Ein sommerfugl kan fly nesten uten vinga
Men mine e for kort
Vil æ nån gang fly igjen?
Vil æ finn ein sommerfugl i mæ?

Æ prøvd å la i går vær nå som aldri va
Prøvd å fly
Men månen skjule alt den ser
Som to lys som brenn ned, og aldri lyse meir

Så i natt vær så snill å hold mæ nær
La mæ tru at æ kan fly igjen
Hold mæ i handa
Hold mæ nær
Og imårra kanske æ e ein sommerfugl igjen

Du må gjerne spør,
men æ har ingen svar å gi.
Æ går i ring helt uten ord
Som elva som stille renn forbi.

Så i natt vær så snill å hold mæ nær
La mæ tru at æ kan fly igjen
Hold mæ i handa
Hold mæ nær
Og imårra kanske æ e ein sommerfugl igjen

Sku så gjern ha sagt
Alt æ tenke på
Men ordan sitt langt inn

Dæm e vanskelig å nå….

Så i natt vær så snill å hold mæ nær
La mæ tru at æ kan fly igjen
Hold mæ i handa
Hold mæ nær
Og imårra kanske æ e ein sommerfugl igjen

Ein sommerfugl kan fly nesten uten vinga.
Alt har si tid.
I dag e snart i fjor.
Mens ein sommerfugl flyr forbi.
