Viva Forever

How we used to be

Felling together, believe in whatever

My love has said to me

Young love in the sun

Felt like my savior, my spirit I gave ya

We’d only just begun

 

Hasta Manana,

Always be mine

Viva forever, I’ll be waiting

Everlasting, like the sun

Live forever,

For the moment

Ever searching for the one

Yes I still remember,

Every whispered word

The touch of your skin, giving life from within

Like a love song that I’d heard

Slipping through out fingers,

Like the sands of time

Promise made, every memory saved

Has reflections in my mind

 

Hasta Manana,

Always be mine

Trouble is a Friend

Lenka

Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh oh
No Matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh oh
The eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh oh
Your fine for a while but then start to loose control

He's there in the dark
He's there in my heart
He waits in the winds
He's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend
Yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh Oh I try
