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 DreamingLyrics
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
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 WindLyrics
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. -

Say "Yes" in SpringLyrics
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 MusicLyrics
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 PlaceLyrics
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 youHeaven’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 LoveLyrics
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. -
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 YourselfLyrics
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 ComeLyrics
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
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!
