DIETER BOHLEN - Silhouette In Red (1993 BMG CD 74321 16522-2)

01. SALLY COMES AROUND [Jennifer Blake]

She was alone, alone again - living in her broken world.
She found out love was just a game for a young and foolish girl.
“It doesn’t matter” - I heard her say, “Love is no friend of mine”.
And it’s so hard to forget her past (so cruel and so unkind).
She needs to be needed - Love’s hard to find.

Refrain:
Oh, when Sally comes around - oh, don’t let her down
when Sally comes around downtown.
She wears a wounded heart like a fallen crown.
She’s tough with a heart of gold.
Oh, when Sally comes around - there’s a burning flame
deep in her heart - I know.
She’s searching in the dark through the falling rain.
She’s tough with a heart of gold.

A lonely girl is home again - and everyone knows your name.
<It> feels so good to have you around - things have never been the same.
So hang on it, don’t you cry? - Sally, you’re among your friends.
Ain’t no way to hide your joy and no way to hide your pain.
No need to be needed again and again.

REFRAIN

Oh, when Sally comes around
Oh, when Sally comes around
Oh, when Sally comes around
Oh, when Sally comes around
Oh, when Sally comes around

02. FIRE IN MY SOUL [Steve Benson]

I was so in love - then you broke my heart
I’ll never understand the rules of love
You said to me: “True love never dies” - you said to me
Now I’m sleeping with a memory.
Yeah!

Refrain:
There is a fire in my soul - burning - don’t you know?
Can you hear it on the radio?
Fire in my soul - out of my control
Said you loved me - then you let me go.
Oho, can you hear it on the radio?
Oho, can you hear it on the radio?

<Oh, it’s> just like a dream - you’re mine
When I saw you the very first time
You looked at me with those eyes
You said you loved me - I believed your lies.
Why do you keep me hanging on the line?
The love (you gave me) is just a waste of time
There is a fire burning up my soul.

REFRAIN

I was so in love - then you broke my heart
No-no, this love will never die.

I should have seen, should have known
When you told me you had to go
So naive - you know
You’d burn me up and then you’d let me go.
Why do you keep me hanging on the line?
The love (you gave me) is just a waste of time
There is a fire burning up my soul.

REFRAIN (twice)
Oh!

03. STAY [Jennifer Blake]

Please be mine, I know

Oh, I know, you’ve been fooling with my heart
’cause deep inside you don’t know where to start
So insecure of what tomorrow will bring
Oh, please be sure - you’re my all and everything
You’ve heard it all before - I’m asking you once more to (baby) stay.

Stay for a lifetime
Don’t go away - oh baby, be mine
’cause I know I’ll always be loving you.
Oh baby, stay with me forever
For we were born to be together
’cause we are strong - I’ve always believed in you.

Oh, I know, strange things happen everyday
This love will grow - you’re the light to guide my way
Don’t be afraid - I’ll never let you down
Please - won’t you stay? Have faith in this love that we’ve found.
Don’t throw this love away - oh baby, won’t you stay?

Oh baby, stay with me forever
For we were born to be together
’cause we are strong - I’ve always believed in you.
Oh baby, stay - stay for a lifetime
Don’t go away - baby, be mine
’cause I know I’ll always be loving you.
Oh baby, stay - stay for a lifetime
Don’t go away - baby, be mine
’cause I know I’ll always be loving you.
Baby, stay!

04. SEND ME THE PILLOW [Dieter Bohlen]

Memories of happy years are all I have when you are not here.
Oh, I wish I could hold you in my arms again.
Rain is such a lonely sound (falling softly to the ground).
Oh, I wish I could hold you in my arms again.
I need to hold you near - so until then

Send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me a love line to your heart.
Oh babe, I know that you’re the only one
Darling, if I must stay here without you.
Oh, send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me your love straight from the heart
Always forever, baby, I love you
Darling, if I must stay here without you.

Lonely nights I dream of you, of all the things that we would do.
Oh, I know I will hold you in my arms again.
Think of how it used to be lying here next to me.
Oh, I know I will hold you in my arms again.
I long for you, but (darling) until then

Oh, send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me a love line to your heart.
Oh babe, I know that you’re the only one
Darling, if I must stay here without you.
Please, darling, send me the pillow that you dream on
Send me your love straight from the heart
Always forever, baby, I love you
Darling, if I must stay here without you.
Oh!

05. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY LONELY HEART [Howard Houston]

They say: “Love is blind” - but you are always on my mind.
I’ll never-never feel this way again.
It’s hard for me to say, to tell you why I feel this way.
I’ll never-never feel this way again.
I wouldn’t try to fool you - it’s you I give my love to.

Refrain:
From the bottom of my lonely heart
Every moment that we stand apart
Baby, I promise you my love.
From the bottom of my lonely heart
Just for you - no matter where you are
Baby, I promise you my love.

“Love hurts” - so they say. This time Love is here to stay.
I’ll never-never feel this way again.
It’s all clear to me - that loving you is all I need.
I’ll never-never feel this way again.
I wouldn’t try to fool you - it’s you I give my love to.

REFRAIN

From the bottom of my lonely heart
Just for you - no matter where you are
Baby, I promise you my love.

06. SILHOUETTE IN RED [Jennifer Blake]

Oh, I know you’re a dreamer - there’s a child in your eyes
You saved up all your memories - you’re tired of all the lies.
I hear, you cry for someone: “Please, someone, heal the pain!”
A hand to hold and guide her through the fire and through the rain.
Oh babe, it’s not too late now - don’t say: “It has to end”
Been through so much together, babe - I will always be your friend.

Refrain:
You are just like an angel, you’re just like an angel
<I’m> so lucky to have met my silhouette in red.
You are just like an angel, you’re just like an angel
I never will forget my silhouette in red.

Oh maybe, you are lonely - I’m afraid to ask you why
You’ll turn to hide in silence - it hurts so much inside.
You’ll lead me through your darkness, the colours of your dreams
Dreams - so full of questions, the reasons - plain to see.
You don’t have all the answers - and no one ever will.
You’ll search the whole world over, babe - learn so much more, yet still

REFRAIN

When you see her, she’ll be searching for truth and destiny.
The answer (that she looks for), I hope, one day she’ll see.

Just like an angel - you’re just like an angel
<I’m> so lucky to have met my silhouette in red.
You are just like an angel, you’re just like an angel
I never will forget my silhouette in red.

07. I CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN [Dieter Bohlen]

Paradise is here, my love, with you by my side -
now until forever, till the end of time.
I’ve wished upon a thousand stars - someday you I’d find
I’m living for you, baby - you’ll always be mine.
I’m searching for you, baby - drowning in your love
No, I’ll never give it up.

Refrain:
Oh, I climb every mountain and I cross every sea
to lay in your arms for eternity.
<I> sail every ocean to capture your heart,
to be in your arms - never to be apart.
I climb every mountain to be with you.
I cross every sea to be with you.
I’m here for you, darling - you belong to me.

Since you won my heart, my love - I’ve never been the same
I need your love to feed it like a flower needs the rain.
Some things - they will never change - babe, you know it’s true.
I live for you only - it’s all that I can do.
Waiting for you, baby - hungry for your love
No, I’ll never get enough.

REFRAIN

I climb every mountain to be with you.
I cross every sea to be with you.
I’m here for you, darling - you belong to me.

08. BAD DREAMS [Steve Benson]

She was the black sheep of her family -
she was a rebel, loved living free.
She gave her loving fast as the wind -
she’d give it all again and again.
Sometimes mean - sometimes kind
The more she’d look - the less she’d find.
She never knew what was right or wrong
Never knowing where her heart belonged.
Yeah!

Refrain:
Bad dreams, blue tears and mixed emotions
Search for a heart that can’t be broken.
She’s walking down an endless street
Her body is burning with the heat.

REFRAIN
Yeah!

She had loved him once but then they had a fight
The table’s turning - now she’s cold as ice.
Still searching after all these years
This lady has cried a million tears.
She was a hero of the lost and found -
she’d pick ’em up, she’d put ’em down.
She’s at the wrong place at the right time
Stone-cold woman, you’re way out of line.

Oh!
REFRAIN

Oh yeah!
REFRAIN

Oho!

09. JAMES DEAN [Dieter Bohlen]

Grew up together in the neighbourhood
She never noticed that he looked so good
He told her: “All I do is dream of you”, oh yeah.
No, she had never seen in her wildest dreams
blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean.
Big plans they made in a small hometown
No chance to leave would really bring him down
A crazy rebel with a cause - he was for sure, oh yeah.
Oh, she had never seen in her wildest dreams
blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean.

Refrain:
He writes her letters from around the world -
says: he loves her and she’s still his girl,
maybe he’ll come back (he don’t know when).
Oh, she’ll never see her baby again.

He’s got the whole world in his hands
and she was Alice in his wonderland.
Oh, they had dreams, but now he has it all, yeah.
No, she had never seen in her wildest dreams
blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean.
She was the diamond of his eyes
And she would always be right by his side
But good guys only win in the movies, yeah.
Oh, she had never seen in her wildest dreams
blue eyes that gleam just like James Dean.

REFRAIN

Oho…

10. CLOUDS IN MY COFFEE [Dieter Bohlen]

Oh, do you remember the moment when the sky turned to a sad shade of grey ?
As darkness crept over the ocean, then you turned to walk away.
I looked to the place at the table: your face - it no longer seen.
The reflection (I saw in your coffee) was a bitter reflection of me.

Refrain:
Clouds in my coffee and tears in my heart -
that’s what I’m feeling, yeah. You’ve torn me apart.
Clouds in my coffee - it could be a dream.
But as you walk away - it’s all I can see.

I still remember the feeling as the night woke up to the dawn
To awake and realize the meaning what my eyes had focused upon.
These rooms so cold and so empty - just spaces where photographs were
The echo in silence assured me that you really were no longer here.

REFRAIN

Clouds in my coffee

11. YEARS MAY COME [Howard Houston]

Heartaches and so much pain
Cry out to you in vain
I’ll keep my promises, oh darling.
Don’t let this sweet love die
So many reasons why
I’ll keep my promises, oh darling.
Oh yeah, I’ll wait for you, my sweet love.

Refrain:
Years may come and years may go
Still there’s one thing that I know
that my heart is only beating just for you, darling.
Only a fool would let you go
And I will always love you so
For my heart is only waiting just for you.

Time passes by so slow
With every hour, yeah, I know
I’ll keep my promises, sweet darling.
The stories that you’ll hear
Jealous words have no fear
I’ll keep my promises, sweet darling.
Oho, I adore you, my sweet love.

Years may come and years may go
Still there’s one thing that I know
that my heart is only beating just for you, darling.
Only a fool would let you go
I will always love you so
For my heart is only waiting just for you.

REFRAIN

Years may come and years may go
Still there’s one thing that I know
that my heart is only beating just for you, darling.

12. CRYIN’ A LITTLE [Jennifer Blake]

As the warm sun kissed the springtime and the clouds drifted away
You’d walk along a sandy beach - another endless day.
As the summer turned to autumn - nights were drawing in so near
Evenings laying by the fire - love was truly here.

Refrain:
And now you are crying a little -
what happened, girl? What happened, girl?
Did they destroy your perfect world?
And now you are crying a little -
what happened, girl? What happened, girl?
Did they destroy your perfect world?

As the fall changed into winter - it took her breath away
Nights were long and bitter-cold - she saw the light of day.
With the end of all four seasons, oh, things have moved so fast.
A romance (that was hers forever) has melted with the past.

REFRAIN

The love (that you crave for) won’t come so easily (no).
All seasons change - and so do we.

REFRAIN (twice)
