Never Stop Dreaming

Berlin Ballroom’s debut album “Never Stop Dreaming” presents timeless, emotionally charged songs written by Detlef Kühn and Maria Sieren: “Songs of love and hope for mournful hearts”. Producer and arranger Volker Schlott contributed the Berlin Blues, an alluring and artistic sax instrumental. Berlin Ballroom provides sophisticated pop: romantic and hopeful, sometimes thoughtful and melancholy, but always dreaming of better times to come. It interweaves elements of jazz, pop chanson, soul, gospel and Scottish folksong, with a special tribute to Nat King Cole and Cole Porter.

Arrangements and all instruments: Volker Schlott. Guest musicians: Barbara Bultmann (violin), Axel Fidelak (guitar), Jens Naumilkat (cello), Sebastian Himpel (trombone), Christian Himpel (trumpet).

  • Never Stop Dreaming
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    Never stop dreaming, never forget:
    What you are made of is dreams.
    Never stop dreaming, never regret
    To hope and follow your dreams.

    Sunny days followed by darkness,
    Love affairs ending so hopeless.
    Fate seems to be a crime:
    Things are changing all the time.

    But be aware of what you can do:
    Sunrise or darkness is up to you.

    Don’t give your hopes away.
    Stick to your dreams and stay.
    Turn the pages, turn them all.
    Turn back to your dreams.

    Never stop dreaming, never forget:
    What you are made of is dreams.
    Never stop dreaming, never regret
    To hope and follow your dreams.

    Busy days and lonely nights,
    Dinner without candle light.
    No one to stop life passing by
    Misunderstanding makes you cry.

    But be aware of what you can do.
    Sunrise or darkness is up to you.
    Never stop dreaming never forget.
    What you are made of is dreams.

    A loving heart turns into stone,
    Friends are leaving you alone.
    Hard to catch a ray of glory,
    Life’s just an untold story.

    Turn the pages, turn them all.
    Turn back to your dreams.

    Never stop dreaming, never forget:
    What you are made of is dreams.
    Never stop dreaming, never regret
    To hope and follow your dreams.

  • Dreaming of You (My Loving Star)
    Lyrics

    Lyrics:  Detlef Kühn
    Music:  Maria Sieren

    I dream of you all the time.
    I feel so close to you, so close.
    But I don’t know where I can look for you
    When I wake up out of my sweetest dreams.

    I dream of you all the time.
    I feel so close to you, so close.
    I long for you all night and dream all day.
    ’Cause there’s a yearning in my mournful heart.

    You are so close, you are so far,
    Please come and be my loving star.

    I dream of you all the time.
    I feel so close to you, so close.
    You are my love still living in my dreams.
    Out of my dreams please come and live with me.

    I dream of you all the time.
    I feel so close to you, so close.
    You are somewhere, that’s what I know for sure.
    And you’ll love me one day as I love you.

    You are so close, you are so far,
    Please come and be my loving star.

  • Summer Wind
    Lyrics

    Lyrics:  Detlef Kühn
    Music:  Maria Sieren

    The summer wind is mild,
    The summer wind is cool,
    The summer makes a fool,
    The summer makes a fool of me.

    I’m sitting on the beach
    And feel what I could reach.
    The sky is bright and blue
    And I am missing you.

    The summer wind is mild,
    The summer wind is cool,
    The summer makes a fool,
    The summer makes a fool of me.

    Kisses so sweet at noon
    But you have gone too soon.
    I hope your love is true,
    I set my heart on you.

    The summer wind is mild,
    The summer wind is cool,
    The summer makes a fool,
    The summer makes a fool of me.

  • Summertime Romance
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    It’s summertime,
    It’s time for us to fall in love.
    It’s summertime,
    The sky is bright,
    All hearts so light.

    It’s summertime,
    The sky is blue
    And love is due
    To come –
    Just for a summertime romance,
    Just for a summertime romance.

    There’s a love for every season,
    Spring is not the only one.
    There’s a love, that’s true and everlasting,
    There’s a love, that’s new and so exciting.

    It’s summertime,
    The sky is blue
    And love is due
    To come –
    Just for a summertime romance,
    Just for a summertime romance

    For romance you’ll find a reason.
    Love is always so enchanting
    And it’s promises are sweetly teasing.
    That’s why summer is a special season.

    It’s summertime,
    It’s time for us to fall in love.
    It’s summertime,
    The sky is bright,
    All hearts so light.

    It’s summertime,
    The sky is blue
    And love is due
    To come –
    Just for a summertime romance,
    Just for a summertime romance.

  • Say "Yes" in Spring
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    Kissing you is such delight
    I can’t wait for just one night.
    That’s what I do, 'cause I love you.

    It’s a wedding song
    I’d like to sing.
    You can’t go wrong
    Say “Yes” in spring.

    Wedding bells I like to hear
    And eternal love I swear.
    That’s what I do, ‘cause I love you.

    It’s a wedding song
    I’d like to sing.
    You can’t go wrong
    Say “Yes” in spring.

    Loving you is more than fun.
    I am sure you are the one.
    That’s what I do, ‘cause I love you.

    It’s a wedding song
    I’d like to sing.
    You can’t go wrong
    Say “Yes” in spring.

    Time has changed since we met
    Loving us so passionate.
    Love’s a game in May and June
    But it’s now an other tune:

    It’s a wedding song
    I’d like to sing.
    You can’t go wrong
    Say “Yes” in spring.

    Say “Yes”!

  • It's Love and Music
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    Money makes the world go round,
    That’s what you found.
    But there’s an other truth:

    You wonder how the world goes round:
    It’s love and music.
    You touch the sky and wonder why:
    It’s love and music.

    Love is like a symphony,
    A charming melody,
    A music that you feel
    Deep in your heart, deep in your soul.

    What makes you sigh?
    What makes you high?
    It’s love and music.
    You’re happy now
    And wonder how:
    It’s love and music.

    And it’s music that you need
    With melodies so sweet
    And rhythms all so strong
    To carry you along.

    You wonder how your world goes round:
    It’s love and music.
    You’re happy now and wonder how:
    It’s love and music.

  • Heaven's the Place
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    Heaven’s the only place
    To see your smile, to feel your grace.
    You’ve gone, you’ve left the world behind.
    You made us cry, with tears so blind.

    Heaven’s the only place
    To hold your hand, to kiss your face.
    The paper says your birthday’s now.
    I know so well – but wonder how
    To celebrate with you

    Heaven’s the only place
    To see your smile, to feel your grace.
    Heaven’s the only place
    To hold your hand, to kiss your face.
    One day we’ll pass that Golden Gate –
    Heaven’s the place to celebrate.

    All those that we have truly loved
    We’ll warmly hug and meet again.
    Hey, Mom and Dad, Lorraine and Jo!
    There is a place we’ve all to go.

    Heaven’s the only place
    To see your smile, to feel your grace.
    Heaven’s the only place
    To hold your hand, to kiss your face.

    Heaven’s the place to talk and laugh.
    Heaven’s the place to celebrate,
    Apologize, forgive.

    Heaven’s the only place
    To hold your hand, to kiss your face.
    Heaven’s the only place
    To see your smile, to feel your grace.
    Heaven’s the only place
    To hold your hand, to kiss your face.

    Heaven’s the place to celebrate !

  • Garden of Love
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    You’re looking for a place to rest
    You’re dreaming of a place to stay.
    Be sure you’ll find a garden so nice
    And as beautiful as paradise.
    With trees never seen
    And birds never heard,
    Where magical lights
    Are dazzling your eyes.

    It’s a garden for you,
    It’s a garden for two.
    It’s the garden of love,
    Where all’s coming true.

    In the garden of love
    You see heaven above.
    In the garden of love
    You see heaven above.

  • Fairyland
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    When I was young I lived in fairyland
    And elves and wizards I called friends.
    One day I left this charming land
    And soon forgot that magic never ends.

    But since you put on me your magic spell
    Again I see the land I knew so well.
    So let’s pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.
    So let’s pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.

    You kissed my lips and took me by my hand.
    And so we walked into a dream,
    Both hand in hand through wonderland.
    Life seemed to be a joyful, endless stream.

    Now we pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.
    Now we pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.

    You gently smiled and led me to the ground
    Of magic, hope and confidence.
    Comfort and joy that’s what I found
    Falling in love with you so deep at once.

    So let’s pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.
    So let’s pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.

    Ever since you touched my hand
    Love’s enchanting me and you.
    To bring us home to fairyland
    Only your charm can do.

    So let’s pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.
    So let’s pretend to live in fairyland
    Where magic reigns and love is true.

  • Make Life a Song Sung by Yourself
    Lyrics

    Lyrics:  Detlef Kühn
    Music:  Maria Sieren

    Your life is getting more and more annoying
    Much too loud and busy – that’s a fact.
    A fact you’re absolutely not enjoying.
    So you desperately wonder how to act.

    Don’t cry, forget your tears,
    Watch out, prick up your ears.

    There’s music all around
    A vital, touching sound.
    Catch up a tune, fill in a rhyme,
    Make life a song sung by yourself.

    There’s such a hustle in the cities day by day
    Such haunting rhythm – but you have to stay.
    Big and bustling cities need their rhythm strong.
    So hurry up - join the band and come along.

    There’s music in the world
    There’s music in your heart.
    Catch up a tune, fill in a rhyme,
    Make life a song sung by yourself.

    Nature plays for long a music of its own.
    You believe it’s old, but it’s ever green.
    Humming bees, dolphins ballet and singing birds,
    Precious harmonies, a music without words.

    Life’s made of melodies,
    Inspiring phantasies.
    Catch up a tune, fill in a rhyme,
    Make life a song sung by yourself.

    Major or minor - you have to find the key.
    Up to you’s the groove and melody.
    Make it a jive, a waltz or let it swing,
    Find a delightful verse you like to sing.

    Don’t cry, forget your tears, 
    Watch out, prick up your ears.

    There’s music all around
    A vital, touching sound.
    Catch up a tune, fill in a rhyme,
    Make life a song sung by yourself.

  • All the Best is Still to Come
    Lyrics

    Lyrics & Music:  Detlef Kühn

    Gloomy clouds up in the sky,
    Silly thoughts that we will die.
    All the good times far away
    And our life seems bleak and gray.

    But someone says and we believe:
    All the best is still to come.

    Troubles more than we can stand,
    Missing still a helping hand.
    Confidence is hard to find
    And depression makes us blind.

    But someone says and we believe:
    All the best is still to come.

    Watching birds up in the sky
    And no chance for us to fly.
    To be free that’s what we try,
    Learning freedom’s just a lie.

    But someone says and we believe:
    All the best is still to come.

    Longing for a strong desire
    But inside no burning fire.
    Loving feelings do not last
    Living always in the past.

    But someone says and we believe:
    All the best is still to come.

    Lovely clouds up in the sky.
    Daring thoughts that we will fly.
    And the good times we long for
    Make our life one to adore.

    ‘Cause some one says and we believe:
    All the best is still to come.

  • Sail away!
    Lyrics

    Lyrics:  Detlef Kühn
    Music:  Maria Sieren

    You overlook the island’s
    Rocky coasts und sandy bays,
    The gaily-painted boats,
    Winding roads and well known ways.

    Gentle waves roll on the beach
    And you – you hear them preach:
    Sail away – sail away!
    Dare to dream and sail away!

    The grey and stormy sea
    Is growing calm and fairly smooth.
    It turns into a shining blue,
    Reflecting sunrays and an inner truth:

    Sail away – sail away!
    Dare to dream and sail away!

    You’re at anchor much too long
    And tethered to the daily grind.
    Look at the endless, magic sea
    And see what treasures you can find.

    Gentle waves roll on the beach
    And you – you hear them preach:
    Sail away – sail away!
    Dare to dream and sail away!

    Get up and crowd all sail.
    There is a vessel built for you
    With canvas out of dreams
    And hope and courage is your crew.

    Sail away – sail away!
    Dare to dream and sail away!
