1. Within Temptation - World of Make Believe
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever with all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy, she makes it happen
It’s her reality.
2. Hayley Westenra - Prayer
Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold
3. Enya - Wild Child
Ever close your eyes
Ever stop and listen
Ever feel alive
And you’ve nothing missing
You don’t need a reason
Let the day go on and on
4. Westlife - Written in the Stars
Cause when I look at my life
How the pieces fall into place
It just wouldn't rhyme, without you
When I see how my paths
Seem to end up before your face
The state of my heart
The place where we are
Was written in the stars
5. Mandy Moore - Only Hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
6. Savage Garden - Affirmation
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
7. Madonna - Frozen
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You’re frozen
When your heart’s not open
You’re so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You’re broken
When your heart’s not open
8. Daniel Bedingfield - Never Gonna Leave Your Side
I feel like a song without the words, a man without a soul, a bird without its wings, a heart without a home.
I feel like a knight without a sword, a sky without the sun, cause you are the one.
I feel like a ship beneath the waves, a child who's lost its way, a door without a key, a face without a name.
I feel like a breath without the air, and everyday's the same, since you've gone away.
9. Josh Groban - In Her Eyes
I am not a hero
I am not an angel
I am just a man
Man who's trying to love her
Unlike any other
In her eyes I am
10. Sarah Brightman - Scarborough Fair
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine
11. Shayne Ward - Melt the Snow
But when things go wrong and winter comes
You’re gonna need to run to someone
Left alone you’ll just freeze up again…
But you should know, when it gets too cold…
You're not alone, I'll melt the snow
12. Nelly Furtado - All Good Things Come to an End
Honestly what will become of me
Don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really, life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to and end?
THE END~
