[Verse] Woke up to the sun's embrace Sand beneath my toes Guitar strings start to lace A tune that everybody knows [Verse 2] Drumming hearts in sync So tight Feel the rhythm pulse Claps and beats the morning light Dance until the stars convulse [Chorus] Sunshine lullabies in the air Feel the joy No need to care Bright smiles Everywhere We're living life We're almost there [Verse 3] Guitar strums in golden hue Dreams just taking flight Every step feels so renew Underneath the glowing light [Bridge] Three beats guiding every dance Lovely tunes that hold a glance Moments like these Pure romance No better time No better chance [Chorus] Sunshine lullabies in the air Feel the joy No need to care Bright smiles Everywhere We're living life We're almost there
I stand by the mirror, expecting my face Instead there’s a version of me I’ve erased The eyes looking back open wide and they gleam They show me the things I was meant to achieve Her steps never waver, she stays on her path (path) Confidence worn like a crown on her head I tell her I’m sorry, that I should have tried (tried) to drown out the voices that kept me down Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. And I see her dancing, free of regret (regret) A life still unfolding, no fear in her steps The choices I ran from, and all that I gave Up on, and into, so many mistakes I know I can't fix what's already been broken (broken) or go back in time, speak when I should have spoken I tell her I’m sorry, I should have been brave (brave) And not let the whispers control me that way Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won (won) Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. I reach for the girl, try to step through the frame, To tell her to fight, not to fall for the same, The shards stay in place, the glass won’t bend, I’m stuck on this side, with no way to amend. Mirror, mirror, what have I done? (What have I done?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I left behind, (left behind) The girl in the mirror pays the price. Mirror, mirror, what have I become? (What have I become?) I chose to lose (lose) when I could have won Now I see the dreams I let slip by, (slip by) The girl in the mirror pays the price.

(Verse 1) You’re the engine in my heart, the drive in my soul, Every time I see you, I lose all control. Your curves are sleek, your power’s unmatched, In this ride of love, we’re perfectly matched. (Chorus) You’re my M6, my obsession, my everything, With you by my side, I feel like a king. Every moment with you is a smooth highway, In this love story, we’re cruising all the way. (Verse 2) From the first ignition to the last goodnight, You’re the reason my world feels so right. Hand in hand, we can conquer it all, With you, my M6, I’ll never stall.
[intro] [solo] [verse] Uvek pazi, šta kažeš, U pameti jezik drži, Ako kažeš nešto loše, Može nekog da oprži. [verse] Nemoj da pustiš usta, Da rade sama za sebe, Ako se otrgnu kontroli, Koštaće samo tebe. [solo] [chorus] Kolika je snaga reči, To svi treba da znaju, Mogu i gvozdena vrata, Da nateraju da se otvaraju. Koliko su reči važne, Svako od nas znati mora, Nikada one neblede, Jačine dvanaest boforova. Reči pažljivo koristi, Neka ne upravljaju tobom, Neka ne budu brže od misli, Mogu te napraviti robom. [verse] Reči su kao pčele, U isto vreme i žaoka i med, Probodu kao šilo, Kad na njih dodje red. [verse] Tvoje ideje i reči, Lako mogu da promene svet, Drži ih pod kontrolom, Ne dozvoli preokret. [solo] [chorus] Kolika je snaga reči, To svi treba da znaju, Mogu i gvozdena vrata, Da nateraju se otvaraju. Koliko su reči važne, Svako od nas znati mora, Nikada one ne blede, Jačine dvanaest boforova. Reči pažljivo koristi, Neka ne upravljaju tobom, Neka ne budu brže od misli, Mogu te napraviti “robom”. [solo] Reči pažljivo koristi, Neka ne upravljaju tobom, Neka ne budu brže od misli, Mogu te napraviti “robom”. [outro]
I caught your smile from across the room, Can’t shake this feeling, what do I do? You got a way, a way with your charm, Pulling me in, straight into your arms. Ooh, I’m lost in your eyes, yeah, Taking me high, yeah, Feels like a dream I can’t deny. Ooh, don’t let me go, yeah, Just hold me close, yeah, Let’s get lost in this moment tonight. Soft whispers in the summer breeze, You’re like a fire lighting up the sea. Every step, you’re moving so right, Can’t help but want you close tonight. Ooh, I’m lost in your eyes, yeah, Taking me high, yeah, Feels like a dream I can’t deny. Ooh, don’t let me go, yeah, Just hold me close, yeah, Let’s get lost in this moment tonight. Every heartbeat, we’re getting closer, Like waves crashing, just taking over. Let’s drift away, wherever it leads, Just you and me, that’s all we need. Ooh, I’m lost in your eyes, yeah, Taking me high, yeah, Feels like a dream I can’t deny. Ooh, don’t let me go, yeah, Just hold me close, yeah, Let’s get lost in this moment tonight.

[Verse] She gave me wings to fly away Through storms and skies I found my way Her voice a guide both night and day Her love the light that keeps the gray [Verse 2] In every laugh and every tear Her strength was there to quell the fear She built a world where hearts could cheer A sanctuary quiet clear [Chorus] Oh mother you’re my home my heart From the very start You held my dreams and played your part We’ll never be apart [Verse 3] Through every fall she held me tight Her hands a cradle in the night She taught me wrong and taught me right Now in her glow my soul takes flight [Bridge] When shadows loom and doubts are loud Her wisdom cuts through every cloud A beacon strong and ever proud She lifts me when I’m feeling bowed [Chorus] Oh mother you’re my home my heart From the very start You held my dreams and played your part We’ll never be apart
