Could Have Been Summer - Espen Grjotheim

Could have been a life that kept on going Could have been a lifetime without knowing But instead, you walked into my life Now you're leaving me Ohh, you're leaving me I just can't believe you're leaving me Could have been a man who never cried for no one Could have been a man, never die for no one But instead, you walked into my life Now you're leaving me Ohh, baby, you're leaving me In another life, our paths may never have crossed But, ohh, somebody please, somebody please tell me How happy Could I have been Never to know the love I lost, ohh Could have been our love kept on burning Could have been a world kept on turning But instead, I made a big mistake Now you're leaving me Ohh, you're leaving me Can't you see the tears in my eyes? Girl, you're tearing me apart You're breaking my heart, now Please, don't you go baby, oh no no

We had only one summer But you weren't mine All I wanted was you to come along As if you were mine The dances the long nights Empty bottle conversations The way you would let go Of any other obligations September breeze enough to blow us apart Away away November means no more than lovers apart Oh we We could have been it Or at least something We could have been it And no, this is no love song for you But I love the things I'm learning Sometimes its the soft darkness I adore And I am a child Days to swim through bold sadness to the shore The tides have been wild And I know I'm not made for staying too long on repeat September breeze enough to blow us apart Away away November means no more than lovers apart Oh we We could have been it Or at least something We could have been it And no this is no love song for you But I love the things I'm learning We had only one summer

Today at work I overheard a name I knew it wasn't yours But it touched me just the same It felt so good To have you in my mind Guess I'm the sentimental kind Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world or play the game? We came so close to love back then We could have been You were so brave when I was shy I made you laugh when somethin' made you cry And I don't think we ever said goodbye Now I'll always wonder why Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world or play the game? We came so close to love back then We could have been A time or two, I thought about calling But something always gets in the way Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer What would I say to you? Oh, I wonder who you became Did you change the world or play the game? We came so close to love back then We could have been We could have been

Ooo ooo ooooo-oo Ooo oh oo It was never black and white Gray spots left colorblind But we jumped with closed eyes Mm, small glimpse of a bright light Still warms the coldest night From deep inside... The core of my bones they hold a secret now And got the gaze to keep the darkness out Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you We could never know if this house could be a home for more Than a day or two There's no happy ever after No silence filled with laughter Only memories From which we grew... Inside of these bones they hold a secret now And got the gaze to keep the darkness out And my bones they hold a secret now And got the gaze to keep the darkness out Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you It's my happy ever after To have held a dream so elegant in my heart In my heart It's my happy ever after To have held a dream so delicate in my arms In my arms Oh, no Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you No, no, no Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When you were teaching me to take flight And view something new Wasn't it a great life If only for a moment When I got to share it all with you Share it all with you Share it all with you

Don't wanna live as an untold story Rather go out in a blaze of glory I can't hear you, I don't fear you I'll live now 'cause the bad die last Dodging bullets with your broken past I can't hear you, I don't fear you, now Wrapped in your regret What a waste of blood and sweat Oh, oh, oh I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Never look back and say Could have been me It could have been me Yeah Don't wanna live as an unsung melody I'd rather listen to the silence telling me I can't hear you, I won't fear you Don't wanna wake up on a Monday morning The thought of work is getting my skin crawling I can't fear you, I don't hear you now Wrapped in your regret What a waste of blood and sweat Oh, oh, oh I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Never look back and say Could have been me It could have been me Yeah (I wanna taste love and pain) (Wanna feel pride and shame) (Don't wanna take my time) No (Don't wanna waste one line) Hey, hey (wanna live better days) Just better (never look back and say) (Could have been me) It could have been me (It could have been me) It could have been me I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Just better Never look back and say Could have been me It could have been me It could have been me It could have been me Yeah

I'm powered by nature Weak, but strong I stand Before the force of elements Of this wild and wondrous land I'm powered by nature And the mystery it hides The rain and sun encircles A synthesis of light I'm powered by the miracle Of the newborn budding rose To see that spring of bloom And everything that grows I'm powered by the forest Walking in the green Where I can smell the earth And drink the water clean I'm powered by rivers Running wild, running free From the highest mountain Down to the deep-blue sea I'm powered by the oceans That calls my yearning heart To reach for the horizon Far beyond afar I'm powered by snow That covers all in white And lets summer sleep And slumber through the night I'm powered by darkness In the long winter night When I see a glimpse Of the faring northern lights I'm powered by stars On the endless sky Light years from the earth Much closer when I fly But even if I soar In poems and songs I must always return To where my heart belongs I'm powered by moonlight Eternal ebb and flow The rhythm of the nature Running through my blood I'm powered by the seasons Winter, spring, summer, and fall The ever-changing colours And the beauty of them all I'm powered by sun Shining down on me And I am like a flower Absorbing energy I'm powered by wind Blowing through my hair I'm breathing life Breathing clean, fresh air I'm powered by mountains They make me feel so small So I can seize the wonder And the greatness of it all I know I'm not alone Here on planet Earth I know I'm a part Of God's great universe I know I'm a part Of God's great universe!
