       Omoidashite
original English words and music by Kent Rushton
  Japanese translation by Lee Davis, 1989


Omoidashite, yugure ni
Omoidashite, futari no koto wo
Boku wa, itsumademo, koko ni irarenei keredo
Kimi e modoru hi made
Kokoro ni kibou wo idaku you...
Omoidashite, aki no ochiba to
Omoidashite, Boku no koto wo.

Chorus
I don't care about what others say.
They don't know the thoughts of my heart.
I just want to hold you in my arms,
And together, we can make a new start.

Kimi to katayose, hanashita, ano hi.
Kimi e no ai wo itai hodo kanjiteita.
Boku wa itsumademo kimi wo mamorenai keredo
Touku hanarete mo
Kimi wo aishitsuzukeru yo.
Omoidashite, hitori no yoru ni.
Omoidashite, Boku no ai wo.

Chorus

Omoidashite, Boku no koto wo ... itsumade mo.
           If I Asked You Now
                 written by Lee Davis September, 1990

I cried last time I thought of you leaving me alone.
As black dispair burned up my heart
I thought I'd call you on the phone (and say)
What do you see when you think of me?
Or do you even take the time?
If I asked you now would you turn away,
Or would you say that you'd be mine?

Chorus
A sad farewell, I don't understand
Why the light fades from your eyes.
I love you, girl and I need you to stay
And though I try this love won't die.
Sachiko, don't leave me now, If you do my heart will die.
When I touch your face, when I see you smile,
When I hear you laugh, It makes me want to cry, Oh,
Sachiko, satteiku na, sore dake tanomu yo...mmm

I know that it would be a lie if I only said I cared.
'Cause no picture with its thousand words
Could even start to share
How deep and deep this love I feel
Has seeped into my soul;
How you've breathed a life into this heart of mine,
And now I want you even more.

Chorus
Sax solo
Chorus

I cried last time I thought of you leaving me alone.
So I'll think of a way, I'll write every day,
I'll even call you on the phone (and say)
What do you see when you think of me?
Will you try and make the time?
If I ask you now, will you turn away,
Or will you say that you'll be mine?

Chorus
Sax solo fade to end
      Crowds
            written early, 1989

It seems when the crowd is biggest
That I'm most alone.
Without you by my side, girl,
I can't make it on my own.
'Cause the strength you give me is matchless.
You give me hope and integrity
When you're standing at my side, girl,
There's nothing I can't be.

Chorus
I love you.  Can't you see the truth in my eyes?
I need you.  Don't let there be any sad goodbyes.

How can the silence hurt so bad,
When the laughter's painful, too?
I can't be with this crowd at all,
I wish only to be with you.
'Cause you speak to me and the pain is gone,
My life begins anew.
When you're standing at my side, girl,
There's nothing I can't do.

Chorus
Make Believe Love Stories
written by Lee Davis September, 1990

I guess the time has come for me,
To write about last night.
How I longed to keep you here forever,
When I held you tight.
And I'm fighting hard to find a way
To beat the daily tests.
So may say it won't work out,
But who cares about the rest?
'Cause love can make the make believe
Love stories come to life,
It can turn around the brewing storm,
Bring us both into the light.
And I'm very sure you don't understand
Just what I want to say;
But though the outlook's dim,
There's gotta be a chance,
So I'll try it anyway,

I love you,
Won't you stay with me until we break the night?
Oh, Sachiko,
If you stay with me, then it'll be alright.

Last night I felt so fine,
I wanted you, you wanted me.
And I felt I understood a little more,
Just what love should be.
But now you're gone and I'm not sure
Exactly where I stand.
If I didn't take you in my arms,
Would you try and take my hand?
They say love can make the make believe
Love stories come to life;
But the story here seems so confused,
Stretched and compromised.
Do you love me girl, you don't show it much,
Can you give  a little more?
When I'm searching for security,
Is it you I'm fighting for?

I love you,
But It's hard for me to work against the tide.
Oh, Sachiko,
The flame is burning bright, but the hope has died...

You know I said I'd never run away.
But with the way you talk, how can I stay?
If you would give the word
Just give us one more chance.
Justs change your mind, forget the circumstance...

I love you...
Oh, Sachiko...
