Like Ocean
Words and Music: Cheryl Bartlett

Floating, falling, like water on my skin,
Keep your eyes on me,
Breathing, moving like ocean in your arms,
Rhythm of the sea,
You think you're something baby,
Well maybe, I agree,
Something about you moves me, you soothe me,

Chorus

You love me like the ocean,
Over and over,
Like the ocean,
I'm into you,
Like the ocean, the ocean, the ocean,
Love me again,

You float, you fall like water,
On my skin,

You breathe, you move like ocean,
Next to me,
Rhythm of the sea,
I'm moving with you baby,
I'm knowing what to do,
Just like a wave you break through,
I want you,

Chorus

To love me like the ocean, over and over...

I feel you, the real you,
I know you, I'll hold you,

Chorus

I'll love you like the ocean,...

Can I Touch Your Heart
Words and Music: Cheryl Bartlett

I never saw you in this way before,
Watching your eyes watch mine,
Wanting more,
Was it the moon in my heart or the stars in your hands?
The light of a woman, the ocean, The night we began,

Chorus

To dance with the moon in my arms,
Holding you in the light,
Seeing you in the dark,
Sing like the wind through the sea of your skin,
To the ocean of time where you are,
Where you are,
Can I touch your heart,

Never thought I would look at you in this way,
Always a friend,
That's always what we would say,
Part of another world I could only see,
Well I never dreamed you would offer your stars to me,

Chorus

House in Pauoa
Words and Music: Cheryl Bartlett

I remember days when my home was on the wind,
Wouldn't wait around for love to begin,
Then I found a place in the valley of the sun,
There I saw your face,
Now our love has begun,

Chorus

And the house in Pauoa is calling me home,
I feel the music of the rain in the air,
And the smile of God beckons with a rainbow of light,
While the light of my life loves me there,

Every morning birds wake me up with their song,
They have found a home and they know where they belong,
Even the wind makes a home in our trees,
Every night he sings of our love on the breeze,

Chorus

And I thank God for the love of one,
For you, the one I love, the one I love,

Chorus

Sol
Words and Music: Cheryl Bartlett

I hear your voice calling out to me,
How can I be the one you need?
Looking in your eyes,
Wondering how to be,
The one who shows you how to be, be free,
Sol, Sol

I feel your heart beating just like mine,
The love I feel for you,
I cry,
Maybe in this world,
Another feels this way,
But I know in my heart, love, love stays,
Sol, Baby Sol,

Chorus

'Cause you are real, I can feel you, baby,
What a surprise, Open up my eyes,
Hold you in my arms, Keepin' you from harm,
Beauty of your soul touches mine,
The whole thing,
Baby Sol, Baby Sol,

'Cause you're the whole thing, baby,
You're the sun of my soul,
You light the world up baby,
When you smile, I know,

Chorus

That you are real...

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I hear your voice calling out to me,
I know you'll be the one to be, be free,
Sol, Baby Sol, Baby Sol, Baby Sol

Aloha U'ilani
Words and Music: Cheryl Bartlett

Aloha U'ilani
Your dance begins and we see,
The story unfold slowly, gracefully,

Your dance will charm the sundown,
And fill the room with moonlight,
Your ginger leis, perfuming, fill the night,

Chorus

But is that really you on the stage U'ilani,
Does your dance hide the dreams we don't see,
Is that why you smile U'ilani,
The music starts, the singer sings,
The dance goes on,
The dance becomes the song,

Your eyes are hiding secrets,
Their mystery will haunt us,
Their message brings us memories,
Love lost, found,
Your arms will lift us skyward,
And bring the stars before us,
While gentle oceans by your hands are bound,

Chorus

Aloha U'ilani

Ocean Girl
Words and Music: Herb Mahelona

Ocean Girl,
Hears the call of the waves,
The sand and the sky,
Ocean Girl,
Got that misty sea green look in her eye,

Ocean Girl,
Every breath that she takes,
Moves the time and the tide,
Ocean Girl,
Knows she gotta leave,
This land-life behind,

Chorus

And she's riding a wave of blue,
The world drifting away,
She knows the sea is home,
She knows she can't stay,
Oh, Ocean Girl, Oh, Ocean Girl

Ocean Girl,

I know you'll go,
Go to follow your heart,
Ocean Girl,
Go to where the sky ends,
And the ocean starts,

Chorus

You'll be riding a wave of blue,
The world drifting away,
You'll know the sea is home,
You'll know you're home to stay,
Oh, Ocean Girl, Oh, Ocean Girl

A Million Miles
Words and Music by Herb Mahelona

You've always been,
The one prone to dream,
Knew I'd have to know when,
To let you be alone,
In your world of beauty and mystery,
And when you return to me,
I'll meet you here,
And then it's us again,
But until then,

Chorus,

You're a million miles away,
You're a million miles away,

Holdin' you close,

Know that there's no one else I'd rather hold,br> So near,
I can feel your heart beating restlessly,
And your eyes, turn to me,
I have you here,
And then it's us again,
We're one again,

Chorus

We're a million miles away,
We're a million miles away,

And when you go, Time stands still,
Though I know it won't be long until,
You're home,
In our world of quiet simplicity,
And when you return to me,
I meet you here,
And then it's us again,
But until then,

Chorus

Renda Branca (White Lace)
(a.k.a. Cheryl's Samba)
English poetry by Bailey and Christine Matsuda
Portuguese translation by Mazé Lima with Cheryl Bartlett
Additional Portuguese lyrics by Rogério Araújo

Sal grosso tirado da dôr recente,
(Rock salt from recent pain)
O dôce nectar,
(A sweet nectar)
Néctar roubado de um coracão,
(Stolen from a heart)
E a rosa murchando,
(And a wilted rose)

Da barra da saia ela revela a magia,
(From the hem of her skirt she reveals the magic)
E eleva seu rosto ao sol,
(And lifts her face to the sun)
Inalando a luz do dia,
(Inhaling the light of the day)

Chorus

Descalça sobre, sobre o verde,
(Barefoot, she dances on the green)
Renda Branca beijando seus pés,
(White Lace kissing her feet)

Ela serve champagne
, (She serves champagne)
E caminha pro mar,
(And walks to the sea)
Onde ele espera,
(Where he waits)
Exala magia,
(She exhales her magic)
Pisando em jóias do mar,
(Standing amidst jewels of the ocean)

Chorus

Enquanto em seus ouvidos,

A brisa susurra, A brisa susurra,
(the breeze whispers)
Ela serve champagne,
E caminha pro mar,
Onde ele espera,
Exala magia,
Pisando em jóias do mar,

Chant

Yemanjá ao luar,
(Yemanjá under the moon)
Son do mar, Yemanjá,
(Sound of the sea, Yemanja)

Beaded Blues
Words and Music by Cheryl Bartlett

You say it's time for you to go,
I know,
You say there's nothing more to say,
I know,
I know that only time can show,

Chorus

Beyond hurt, beyond hope, beyond tears, beyond lies,
Beyond thought, beyond words, beyond songs, beyond sighs,
Beyond breath, beyond life, beyond fears, beyond cries,

I love you so.
