Lyrics:
GABRIELLE
Gabrielle, I sure love you Sure as heaven's above you While I'm gone I'll dream of you Fare thee well, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle, I adore you And I want the world for you Wait for me, I implore you Fare thee well, Gabrielle.
There is a lot I've got to do There is a world out there waiting I'll bring the world Right back to you For you're the whole world to me.
Gabrielle, I sure love you Sure as heaven's above you While I'm gone I'll dream of you Fare thee well, Gabrielle.
Gabrielle, I adore you And I want the world for you Wait for me, I implore you Fare thee well, Gabrielle.
I picture you Dressed as a bride I hear the wedding bells ringing I picture me There by your side There I will be evermore.
Gabrielle, I adore you Here's the ring I bought for you Marry me, I implore you Ring the bell, Gabrielle.
Hear the wedding march playing Now I'm home, I'll be staying Nevermore to be saying Fare thee well, Gabrielle.
Hear the wedding march playing Now I'm home, I'll be staying Nevermore to be saying Fare thee well, Gabrielle.

"May There Always Be Sunshine" 1. Bright blue the sky, Sun up on high That was the little boy's picture. He drew for you, Wrote for you, too, Just to make clear what he drew
Chorus: May there always be sunshine. May there always be blue skies, May there always be Mummy, May there always be me! (Twice)

ROTFL. To take the melody of "Let There Always Be Sunshine", a Russian song that every child in the former Communist countries (including me in Bulgaria) was forced to learn in school, and make it into a... love song!!! Well, Bjorn surprised me!

1. Bright blue the sky,
Sun up on high
That was the little boy's picture.
He drew for you,
Wrote for you, too, Just to make clear what he drew
Chorus:
May there always be sunshine.
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be Mummy,
May there always be me! (Twice)
Listen my friend,
Peace is the dream of the people,
Hearts old and young
Never have done
Singing the song you have sung.
Chorus.
Hear what we say
War would make all of us losers.
Peace is our prize.
Millions of eyes
Anxiously gaze at the skies.
Chorus.
We want no more.
People, stand up for your children!
Sing, everyone
Peace must be won,
Dark clouds must not hide the sun.
Chorus.
