DISTANT STAR - Melanie Dekker
I’d like to be yours
I’d like you to say "she’s mine", all mine
Par for the course
I’ve fallen in love this time, this time
I’d sure love to dance
All over the world with you, I do
Dream of the chance
I’ll be the one you choose
I’m a distant star praying for your heart
For now I watch you from a far
It’s not so bad, no not at all
But at the end of the day
Another day’s faded away
I’d like to find
A path that leads to your door
And leave a sign
That only leaves you wanting more
Of all the saddest words
Of tongue or pen; the saddest I’ve heard
Are: It might have been, it might have been

WORRY GETS YOU NOWHERE - Melanie Dekker / Stefan Rapp / Martin Rose
Sometimes sleep won't come easy when it's time for bed
So enjoy the rising sun and listen to what your heart says
There's no need to toss and turn
Just read the writing on the wall
Worry gets you nowhere gets you nowhere
Gets you nowhere, nowhere nowhere at all
Worry gets you nowhere gets you nowhere
Gets you nowhere, nowhere nowhere at all
Sometimes you get mad for reasons you can't grasp
It turns out everything's fine but now you've said things you can't take back
Your mind can waste your time
And throw you down a waterfall
Worry gets you nowhere, nowhere at all
Worry gets you nowhere, nowhere at all
I hope you want to be the one who will say
I led my life before my life lead me astray

GIVE MY HEART A HOME - Melanie Dekker
So you drove through the night to surprise me
And our hands locked as our feet swayed from the dock
Then we fooled around until the sun came up
Next you wrote me letters beautifully revealing
Patiently waiting while you’ve gone out on wing
You just knocked me over now I’m like a statue
'Cause you said I might fall in love with you
Deeper than I know how to dive into
I’ve fallen in love with you too
I can't see the bottom just the unknown
And I’m not very good at this letting go
If I say these words just so
Will you give my heart a home
Give my heart a home
Give my heart a home
Singing songs we love as we stare into the fire
It's so warm I forget the road for a while
I’m flirting I like to be on stage in front of you
It scares me just a little but it’s the perfect view
