  • That Old Man

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Holding on
    Being strong
    wishing back times
    when they did belong
    to each other
    from the first moment on
    Still holding on
    Still being strong

    That old man is sitting there
    With his head full of thoughts
    That old man is wondering
    Where all the time has gone

    He dreamed and he did
    He searched and he found
    He never gave up
    Did not break apart
    He cried and he laughed
    He felt and touched
    He loved and lived

    Strong with his head up high

    That old man is sitting there
    With all those memories
    That old man remembers still
    When their eyes first met

    They dreamed and they did
    They searched and they found
    They never gave up
    Did not break apart
    They cried and they laughed
    They felt and they touched
    They loved and they lived

    Strong with their heads up high
    Bold, touching the sky
    He always wanted to be
    He always tried to be

    The man that she wants
    The man that she loves
    To whom she says goodnight

    Now he is still strong
    Although she is gone
    Bold moving on alone
    He always has been that man
    And he still is that man
    He always wanted to be
    He always tried to be

    The man that she wants…

    That old man is sitting there with his head full of dreams

    Soulmates

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    So high, so deep
    So far, so near
    Completely different
    But it’s clear
    So soft, so sweet
    So hard with each
    The truth can hurt
    But it also can teach
    How life should be
    Alone or for 3

    So high, so deep
    So far, so near
    Completely different
    But it’s clear
    So soft, so sweet
    So hard with each
    The truth can hurt
    But it also can teach
    We are just the same
    Although we are 3

    Soulmates
    Mindreaders
    Heartbeats
    Together as one

    And we know how to show
    What we feel what is real
    Without a word
    There is no need to cheat
    ‘Cause we’re near
    And it’s clear
    Like opened books
    We all know where to go
    When it’s bad and we’re sad
    Mindlessly
    There is no way to stay
    All alone on our own
    fortunately
    We always know
    That we are there
    For each other
    ‘Cause we always care…we are

    Soulmates
    Mindreaders
    Our hearts beat as one
    Together as one

    Take Your Time

    (music by Bernd Haas and Stefanie Veit, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Take your time
    Stay in bed
    Please yourself
    Forget all about
    The early bird
    And stay

    In bed, where all your time
    Is running slow
    Nearly standing still
    Better safe than being sorry
    So live your life
    And enjoy

    The world moves on
    Remain at your place
    Don’t catch every train
    And create your very own space
    Don’t waste precious time
    and run after yourself
    Meet yourself halfway
    Don’t put things on a shelf

    Take your time
    What’s the rush
    Ease up
    Even Rome wasn’t built
    On a day either so
    Stay

    We’re Waiting

    (music & lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    We’re waiting
    We’re waiting

    For the perfect sunshine
    While we don’t see the perfect moonlight
    For life happening to us
    Forgetting that we have to take the reins

    We’re waiting
    We’re waiting

    For the perfect music
    Before we start to dance
    For that snowflake coming down
    Why don’t we raise our hands?

    We’re waiting
    We’re waiting

    What would we do knowing how long we have left
    Which words would we say
    Which have been unspoken in the past
    From certain moments on you’ll have a companion
    Telling you this could be your last
    But why don’t we stop running blindly, before that?

    The Stars And The Moon

    (music & lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    The stars and the moon
    high above, look after you.
    They are here with helping hands,
    they are here when you need a friend.

    The stars and the moon
    are covering the way for you.
    They shine bright, when you sleep tight
    they are every night by your side.

    And if darkness is followed by fear,
    they are here for you so near.
    And they look after you high above,
    so sleep tight covered with love.

    The Tree

    (music by Bernd Haas, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    I hear you
    I feel you
    Deep inside of me
    You’re waiting there to be
    To spread out your energy
    I hear you
    I feel you
    Deep inside of me
    My soulfoulness is your enemy
    Don’t try to poison me

    I hear you
    I feel you
    Deep inside of me
    You’re waiting there to be
    To spread out your energy
    But I don’t need your company
    My soulfoulness is your enemy
    Don’t try to poison me
    Your undesired stays don’t comfort me
    I hear you

    Please go away
    Don’t stay
    Let me be me
    ‘Cause with you
    I can’t be free

    Like a deeprooted tree
    Memorizing all kind of weather
    Old and wise
    The hot glowing beautiful sun
    The hard energizing rain
    The strong brazing wind
    The cold covering snow
    But he is standing there
    He’s standing there
    He’s there

    Come Closer

    (music by Bernd Haas and Stefanie Veit, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Is it worth
    to keep going on this way?
    Or am I trying to get
    somewhere where I can’t stay?

    Is it worth
    burdening myself with this?
    Is it the real thing,
    or am I fooling myself with this?

    Sometimes I can’t breathe,
    I can’t speak…
    there are times when too much is wanted of me
    and sometimes I can’t win
    and then I have to lose
    a little peace of mine
    and let it go.

    Come closer
    take this load off of me,
    off of my shoulders
    it’s too hard for me.
    Come closer
    lend me your ear,
    listen up and hear
    even if I ‘m not able to speak.

    Listen up…
    Listen up to me…
    Come closer…

    What Would Marilyn Say

    (music by Stefanie Veit and Alexander Goidinger,
    lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    All around there are skinny, scraggy people.
    A beauty ideal made by whom?
    A puppet player holding way more than
    one life in his hands.

    He’s not aware of what he’s doing.
    He never minds ‘bout all effects.
    He creates again and again,
    what’s meant to attract.

    All around there are unhappy, bitter faces.
    ‘Cause they’re not living in,
    in that wonderful body
    tagged „Size Zero“.

    They don’t know what they’re missing.
    They don’t look behind the whole concept.
    They strive for perfection.
    Without knowing what they accept.

    What would Marilyn say
    60 years ago
    missing her well-shaped curves
    in her one woman show.

    I Wanna Dance

    (music & lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Let me hold this moment,
    let me hold it forever,
    in my arms, my heart, my mind.
    Let me stay here in the middle of
    happy faces, wonderful words, laughter.
    In the middle of these beloved people.
    Let me stay!

    I wanna dance with closed eyes,
    I wanna open them,
    knowing everything will be the same again.

    Let me remember that shimmering sun
    on everyone’s face, everyone’s smile.
    Everyone’s smiling eyes.
    Let us stay here in that big bursting bubble
    without Mr. Worry and Mrs. Sorrow.
    Let us stay!

    I wanna dance with closed eyes,
    I wanna open them,
    knowing everything will be the same again.

    What Makes a Man

    (music & lyrics by Florian Baumgartner)

    I can feel the space growing inbetween
    If you’re looking for solitude – stand the pain
    Tears of sadness slowly soak the ground
    Like time does – with afterglows
    It’s quite easy to make it very hard
    But is it really worth it ?- I don’t know
    Sometimes it’s hard for me to live life at ease
    A new thing has come – I won’t let it go

    What makes a man break a heart with ease
    I don’t know, I don’t know

    If you’re heart is heavy – well I understand
    I always carry you inside of me
    A shiver of awareness – or all a fake?

    No need to be afraid – I can tell
    So what is it that makes people so paralyzed?
    Are we all afraid – of going to hell?
    All that makes me sick – and insecure
    But does this sickness turn me on?

    What a makes a man break a heart with ease
    I don’t know, I don’t know
    Sometimes it feels just like a bad disease
    moments come, moments go

    What a makes a man break a heart with ease
    I don’t know, I don’t know
    Sometimes it feels just like a bad disease
    moments come, moments go

    Earth, Dust and Memory

    (music & lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Footprints in the sand
    Stay painted ’til the next wave comes
    And takes them
    Far away to another place
    Far away from time and space
    It’s all given back
    It’s all coming back
    ‘Til the circle closes
    And starts its next round

    When time runs out
    What’s left down here?
    When time runs out
    What will be waiting there?
    Have all words been spoken?

    Has nothing been left back broken?
    Have all things been done?
    Every song been written and sung?
    When time runs out
    All what’s left behind is
    Earth, dust and memory
    Earth, dust and memory
    Earth, dust and memory

    When time runs out…


  • Stories

    (music by Bernd Haas, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    One leaf floats down
    Between two steps
    A clear night
    Wrapped in regret
    One long deep breath
    The time stands still

    I see your face
    It’s on my mind
    I hear your laugh
    Can I leave all this behind?
    And I know for sure
    It’s time to let you go

    It was a pleasure
    To know you in my life beside me
    I’ll always treasure your memories
    Deep inside me
    Your book is closed
    But surely not read to the end
    There are your stories
    Which will be told so many times

    There are so many traces
    You’ve left in your past
    At different places
    But you left at last
    An empty part
    In everyones heart

    It was a pleasure
    To know you in my life beside me
    I’ll always treasure your memories
    Deep inside me
    Your book is closed
    But surely not read to the end
    There are your stories
    Which will be told so many times

    Time

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Years go by and by
    Like they are in highspeedmode
    Wrinkles nearly get friends everyday
    Things which were important yesterday
    Doesn´t mean anything today
    With every rising sun something changes
    Wouldn´t it be nice to slow down?

    I wish time passes by a little slower
    I wish time wouldn´t like to run so fast
    I wish time would stand still for this moment
    I wish time would take this walk with me

    I´m sure somebody has taken away
    Lot´s of daytime hours
    But if they would be given back
    Would there be a change?
    It seems like seasons are changing
    From day to day
    But that´s a thing I can´t explain
    Years are days, days are hours and they are minutes
    Wouldn´t it be nice to slow down?

    I wish time passes by a little slower
    I wish time wouldn´t like to run so fast
    I wish time would stand still for this moment
    I wish time would take this walk with me

    With every rising sun something changes
    Wouldn´t it be nice to slow down?

    I wish time passes by a little slower
    I wish time wouldn´t like to run so fast
    I wish time would stand still for this moment
    I wish time would take this walk with me

    Didn’t you know

    (music and  lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Didn’t you know that you aren’t alone?
    Didn’t you know that there are a lot of?
    Sunsets, starry skies, white mountains, green grass, deep blue seas, thousands of colors, raindrops.
    Didn’t you know that they are all waiting for you to be seen?

    Didn’t you know that you aren’t alone?
    Didn’t you know that there are a lot of?
    Frozen nights in a cosy warm place, sleepless nights with someone by your side, hours full of teardrops with a smiling face behind them.
    Didn’t you know that they are all waiting for you to be?

    Close your eyes and listen…

    Didn’t you know that you aren’t alone?
    Didn’t you know that there are a lot of?
    Magic moments, your children’s way Hours with your friends, new feeling, more experience.
    Didn’t you know that they are all waiting for you to live?

    What if

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    What if someone could tell you all ´bout your life?
    All ´bout the places you´ll see
    All ´bout sounds you´ll hear, the feelings you´ll get to know
    Would you like to know?

    What if we have seen our finished pictures before?
    Would we take the same colours again?
    Would we draw other lines? Would we change a bit of what we see
    Or would we leave them like they are?

    I´d like to change
    It´s enough to create a hundreds of questions
    Which are starting with „What if…“
    Come what may
    No matter what will come and go
    I´m here looking forward for everyday´s surprise

    Come what may I´s like to find all these colours
    And take them with me fo my lines
    I´d like to draw my picture on my own
    And to join everyday what I see.

    Chocolate

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    There are those days
    When their whole world cries
    When their day is suddenly their darkest night
    You all know them
    Those days

    There are those days
    When they can´t get out of their skins
    When they don´t want to nag, but you all know they will
    You all know them
    Those days

    There are those days
    When you can´t say one word
    Without them getting the wrong end of the stick
    You all know them
    Those days

    Just give them chocolate
    And your biggest smile
    Don’t expect a wonder
    But it’s silent for a while
    Forget all you’ve ever tried before
    ’cause the secret is
    Chocolate

    Choc – Choc – Chocolate
    Choc – Choc – Chocolate
    Choc – Choc – Chocolate

    Silence

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Now here is my list with my do’s and my dont’s
    There is the other with my will and wont’s
    Oh I forgot to buy apples today
    Calling my friend, it was her birthday
    What’s the right dress for tomorrow’s eve
    And what was the time I have to leave
    The book I bought today it wasn’t cheep
    Oh please stop and let me sleep.

    I’m watiting for silence
    Only for the silence in me
    I´m waiting for silence
    No thoughts about big things
    I’m watiting for silence
    No thoughts about little things
    I’m only waiting for silence in me

    Finally I think that I’m falling asleep
    Oh I’m so glad I fell in love so deep
    Our life will it be ever so sweet?
    Which famous people I would like to meet
    Falling asleep it would be so nice
    But thinking while sleeping
    Is like fire and ice
    I would like to fall asleep so deep
    Oh please stop and let me sleep

    I’m watiting for silence
    Only for the silence in me
    I’m waiting for silence
    No thoughts about big things
    I’m only watiting for silence in me

    Let’s taste the moment
    Let’s taste it, feel it
    Let it flow
    Let it go
    Let’s taste the moment, let’s taste

    I’m watiting for silence
    Only for the silence in me
    I’m waiting for silence
    No thoughts about big things
    I’m only watiting for silence

    Take care

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Do you know what’s good for you?
    Do you know or may I help you?
    Can’t you see what’s so clear?
    You’re somewhere else
    So far from here
    Do you know

    You go but you stay with your mind
    You go but you stay with your heart
    You go but you stay and
    You’ll never gonna find
    Yourself like that

    Take care ’bout your life
    Take care don’t compromise
    One life is all we’ve got
    One is all we have
    Take care ’bout you

    Don’t you feel that you’re caged
    Free yourself and run away
    Without looking back, leave all behind
    You’ll never ever gonna find what you’re searching for
    If you always keep coming back time after time

    Take care ’bout your life
    Take care don’t compromise
    One life is all we’ve got
    One is all we have
    Take care ’bout you

    Who knows

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Do you know where to go
    Can you show?
    Do you know how to feel?
    Is it real?
    Do you know how it should be
    Talk to me
    Who tells me if it’s right or wrong
    Am I strong?
    Am I wise or weak?
    Should I be quiet or speak?

    I have to find my way
    Why I’m here to stay
    Oh whatever they say
    I have to listen to my heart
    It tells me which is my part
    Later I’ll know why
    But first I have to try

    Do you know when it ends?
    Oh it depends.
    I would like to fall into
    Not to hold on to
    I would like to enjoy all time
    Each day of mine
    Who tells me if it’s black or white?
    That’s my own fight.
    I know who can tell how to be
    That´s only me!!!

    I have to find my way
    Why I’m here to stay
    Oh whatever they say
    I have to listen to my heart
    It tells me which is my part
    Later I’ll know why
    But first I have to try

    I would like to stay here for a while
    With a smile
    I don’t want to go away
    Let me stay

    Broken hearts

    (music by Stefanie Veit and Bernd Haas, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    Here am I
    So alone
    Sitting there
    In our home
    A room fullfilled
    With my ideas
    An emtpy room
    Filled with tears

    Talk to me don’t be so shy
    Tell all the things you can’t deny

    There you are
    So alone
    Wondering why
    This is your home
    All the words
    Are already spoken
    Two hearts or more
    Already broken

    I can’t move no matter how hard I try
    Now the moment has come, I am so shy

    No more tears I won’t cry
    Let me go
    Let me say goodbye
    No more fear to follow my way

    Don’t give up

    (music by Stefanie Veit and Bernd Haas, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    When you’re down on your knees
    You don’t see a light
    You don’t know where to go
    But that’s alright
    ’cause you will find out
    Don’t give up

    Don’t give up…

    Your job sucks
    Your love isn’t enough
    Your hopes and wishes unfullfilled
    Your rent is too high
    No money in the bank
    Your car never ever works
    And your baby just cries all whole time

    Don’t give up…

    You feel lost
    You never ever win
    Your missing compliments and respect
    You feel sick and tired
    You can’t stand yourself
    You ‘re place is always the wrong one
    Or the right one but not at the right time

    Don’t give up…

    Every time and everywhere

    (music and lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    One look, one heartbeat
    One smile, one word
    With one touch there are fireworks
    One kiss is not enough

    Someday there will be someone
    Who tells you the right words
    At the right time he knows what to say
    Or better not to
    Eyes full of love
    Warm touched, an embrace
    He will always try to give his best
    Every time and everywhere

    One look, one heartbeat
    One smile, one word
    With one touch there are fireworks
    One kiss is not enough

    Someday there will be someone
    You cannot try to find him
    ‘Cause at the right time he will find you
    And will never let you go
    Waking up with a smile
    When he by your side
    Come what may you want more and more
    Every time and everywhere

    One look, one heartbeat
    One smile, one word
    With one touch there are fireworks
    One kiss is not enough

    My home is where you are

    (music by Bernd Haas, lyrics by Stefanie Veit)

    A long day is done
    And now I feel free
    A long day is done
    Now I can , I can only be me

    Where will I go
    To spend all my time
    Where will I go
    And where is the, the place of mine

    And I look at you
    And I know this is the place
    I want to be
    Just you and me
    That’s all I need to feel free

    The next day will come
    A new choice where to be
    The next day will come
    And I wish, that you’re still be with me

    It feels like home
    With you by my side
    It feels like home
    My home is …
    My home is where you are

    And I look at you
    And I know this is the place
    I want to be
    Just you and me
    That’s all I need to feel free
