The Wonder Of You - Gaby Bonello
Verses 1 & 2
Holding on to the wonderful
So close, don’t want to let you go
A love connection so complete
Here with you in this everlasting moment
You light the Sun that shines so bright
To see the world from high above the clouds
A gentle rain to quench my thirst
Your hands of strength upon my shoulders
Chorus
You’re nothing short of fantastic
You’re the guiding river by my side
You’re the warmth when I am cold
The strength for me to hold onto
I marvel in the wonder of you
Verse 3
You watch me shedding tears of pain and joy
You comfort me with wisdom of the heart
Some days you feel so far away
To show me I can do this on my own
Chorus
You’re nothing short of fantastic
You’re the guiding river by my side
You’re the warmth when I am cold
The strength for me to hold onto
I marvel in the wonder of you
You’re nothing short of fantastic
You’re the guiding river by my side
You’re the warmth when I am cold
The strength for me to hold onto
I marvel in the wonder of you
Of you
Of you

Music Box Ballet - Gaby Bonello
A turn of the key
To a world of make believe
A Fairy tale
Her dancing ballerina
Watching the joy
A silent transformation
Open wide
To imagination
Chorus
Hear the music inside
A simple melody
Hear the music
Of innocence
Verse 3 & 4
A story with no words
An orchestra playing
Grace cannot be heard
Her heart is gently swaying
To the music inside
A simple melody
Lost in a world
Of romantic fascination
Dreaming that she
Is flying like an angel
Chorus
Hear the music inside
A simple melody
Hear the music
Music box ballet
Hear the music
Of innocence
Bridge
High, on fantasy
High, her spirits lifted
High, can’t take this love away
High, on fantasy
High, her spirits lifted
High, can’t take this love away
Lost in a world
Of romantic fascination
Dreaming that she
Is flying like an angel

Held - Gaby Bonello
Verse 1
From the seeds you sow
As you watch them grow
Until it’s time to let them go
Pulling strings from my heart
Like I’ve never
Felt before
Chorus
I'm holding a place, for you
Holding the space, for you
Verse 2
Children, we don’t own them
They have chosen
On loan to guide them on their way
To dry their eyes and bandage knees they
Keep us swaying with the breeze
Chorus
I'm holding a place for you
Holding the space for you
Holding you in my arms embrace
While I’m held by your love
Verse 3
Carousels and polka dots
Paper dolls, forget me knots
Oh a chance to be a child once more
Feet so light, heads in the air
Climb aboard their ride
They’ll take you everywhere_ everywhere
Chorus
I’m holding a place for you
Holding the space for you
Holding you in my arms embrace
While I’m held by your love
Held by your love, your love
Held by your love …Oooo

Church Bells - Gaby Bonello
Verse 1
I hear the church bells ringing
A familiar sound
Bringing back the memories
When I was just a child
Verse 2
Like a cub in a litter
Lioness to her pride
Safe in the warmth of her mother
This land that keeps her alive
Chorus
Leaving my homeland when I was so young
Wondering where I belong
Calling me back to the place that I long
Now that the church bells have rung
The church bells have rung
Verse 3
Walking the passeggiata
A gathering of friends
Feasting on Nanna’s good cooking
Dressed in our Sunday best
Verse 4
Now those dear have passed on
But still she whispers to me
My mother a white land of beauty
Come home and set the past free
Chorus
Vocal choir /Instrumental
[ Sung in Maltese ]
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna

A New Day - Gaby Bonello
Verse 1
Sunrise
Moon hides
Behind _I’m awake
For one more
Day time
Make mine
Walk silently
And feel my way
Chorus
A new day starts
It’s the first day
Of the rest of my life
The rest of my life
A new day starts
It’s the first day
Of the rest of my life
The rest of my life
Verse 2
Birds fly
In song high
Blue sky
A stillness in the
Air I breathe
To receive
Life’s grace
And mystery
Chorus
A new day starts
It’s the first day
Of the rest of my life
The rest of my life
A new day starts
It’s the first day
Of the rest of my life
The rest of my life
Bridge
Stories
The rocks the trees
Energy
All around me
Listen for
The ancient lore
Sung in
Tens of thousand years
Ahhhh [over bridge]
A new day starts
It’s the first day
Of the rest of my life
The rest of my life
(repeat)

One Day At A Time - Gaby Bonello
Verses 1 & 2
I wish that there was something
Something more I could do
To take the pain away
The pain that’s hurting you
The pain that’s hurting you
I wish that there was something
Something more I could say
To make you smile again
And wipe all those tears away
Wipe all those tears away
Chorus
Just one day at a time
Minute by minute
On this long uncertain road ahead
Take one step at a time
Hour by hour
On this long uncertain road ahead
Remember what my father said
One day at a time
Verse 3
I wish that there was something
Something more I could do
To write you a happy ending
So he’d still be here with you
He'd still be here with you
Chorus
Just one day at a time
Minute by minute
On this long uncertain road ahead
Take one step at a time
Hour by hour
On this long uncertain road ahead
Just remember what my father said
One day at a time
Bridge
To have loved is oh so special
To have been there by his side
To say what needed to be said
To kiss and say goodbye
His love will never die
His love will never die
Outro
Just one day at a time (His love will never die)
Take one step at a time (His love will never die)
Just one day at a time (His love will never die)
