Music Of The Night PHANTOM "Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses." "Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night." "Close you eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar And you'll live as you never lived before." "Softly, deftly, music shall surround you Feel it, hear it, closing in around you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night." "Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Let your soul take you where you want to be Only then can you belong to me." "Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night" "You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night."  Memory CATS Memory, turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Sunlight, through the trees in the summer Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking The memory is fading Touch me, it's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun I Have Dreamed Barbara Streisand We Kiss In A Shadow Something Wonderful We kiss in a shadow We hide from the moon Our meetings are few And over too soon I have dreamed That your arms Are lovely... I have dreamed What a joy You'll be... I have dreamed Every word you whisper We speak in a whisper When you're close to me Close to me Afraid to be heard Alone in our secret Together we sigh For one smiling day To be free... How you look In the glow of evening To kiss in the sunlight I have dreamed And enjoyed the view And say to the sky... In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What it's like to be loved by you Behold and believe I will love Being loved by you Behold How My Lover Loves Me... He will not always say What you would have him say But now and then he'll say Something wonderful The thoughtless things he'll do Will hurt and worry you Then all at once, he'll do Something wonderful He has a thousand dreams That won't come true You know that he believes in them And that's enough for you You'll always go along Defend him when he's wrong And tell him when he's strong He is wonderful. He'll always need your love And so he'll get your love A Man who needs your love Can be wonderful! Welcome To My World Written by Ray Winkler and John Hathcock (Recorded November 20, 1961) Welcome to my world Won't you come on in Miracles, I guess Still happen now and then Step into my heart Leave your cares behind Welcome to my world Built with you in mind Knock and the door will open Seek and you will find Ask and you'll be given The key to this world of mine I'll be waiting here With my arms unfurled Waiting just for you Welcome to my world Waiting just for you Welcome to my world My Heart Will Go On Celine Dion Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you, That is how I know you go on Far across the distance And spaces between us You have come to show you go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on Love can touch us one time And last for a lifetime And never let go till we're one Love was when I loved you One true time I hold to In my life we'll always go on Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on Once more you open the door And you're here in my heart And my heart will go on and on There is some love that will not go away You're here, there's nothing I fear, And I know that my heart will go on We'll stay forever this way You are safe in my heart And my heart will go on and on After The Loving Engelbert Humperdenck So I sing you to sleep After The Loving With a song that I wrote yesterday And I hope that it's clear what the words And the music have to say. It's so hard to explain all the things that I'm feeling Face to face I just seem to go dry But I love you so much that the sound Of your voice can make me high. Thanks for taking me On a one way trip to the sun Thanks for turning me into a someone. So I sing you to sleep After The Loving And I brush back the hair from your eyes And the love on your face is so real, It makes me want to cry. And I know that my song isn't saying anything new. Oh but After The Loving, I'm still in love with you. Three Times A Lady Lionel Richie 1979 Thanks for the times that you've given me, the memories are all in mind. And now that we've come to the end of our rainbow there's something I must say out loud: Your once, twice, three times a lady and I love you. Yes, your once, twice, three times a lady and I love you. I love you. When we are together the moments I cherish with every beat of my heart. To touch you, to hold you, to feel you, to need you. There's nothing to keep us apart You're once, twice, three times a lady and I love you I love you I Dreamed A Dream LES MISERABLES There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed. A Piece Of Sky> YENTAL It all began, the day I found That from my window I could only see a piece of sky I stepped outside, and looked around I never dreamed it was so wide or even half as high The time had come to try my wings And even though I knew at any moment I could fall I felt the most amazing things The things you can't imagine if you've never flown at all Though it's safer to stay on the ground Sometimes where danger lies, There the sweetest of pleasures are found No matter where I go There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve But there will also be More to question, yet more to believe Oh tell me where,Where is the someone who will turn to look at me And want to share My every sweet imagined possibility. The more I live, the more I learn The more I learn, the more I realize the less I know Each step I take, each page I turn Each mile I travel only means the more I have to go What's wrong with wanting more? If you can fly, then soar! With all there is, why settle for Just a piece of sky. Papa I can hear you, papa I can see you Papa I can feel you, Papa watch me fly! I Am What I Am LA CAGE I am what I am, I am my own special creation So come take a look, give me the hook, or the ovation It's my world that I want to have a little pride in My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in Life's not worth a damn, till you can say "Hey world, I am what I am!" I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity I bang my own drum, some say it's noise, I think it's pretty And so what if I love each feather and each spangle Why not try to see things from a different angle? Your life is a sham till you can shout out loud I am what I am I am what I am, and what I am need no excuses I deal my own deck, sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces There's one life and there's no return and no deposit One life so it's time to open up your closet LIfe's not worth a damn till you can say "Hey, world, I am what I am!" The Best Of Times LA CAGE The best of times is now What's left of summer but a faded rose The best of times is now As for tomorrow well, who knows, who knows, who knows? So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times is now, is now, is now! Now - not some forgotten yesterday Now - Tomorrow is too far away So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times is now, is now, is now! Don't Cry For Me Argentina EVITA It won't be easy, you'll think it's strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me, All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen, I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom, Running around, trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to Don't cry for me Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days, my mad existence I kept my promise - don't keep your distance And as for fortune, and as for fame, I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired They are illusions, Thery are not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do is look at me to know That every word is true. I don't Know How To Love Him JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me He's a man, he's just a man And I've had so many men before in very many ways He's just one more Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout Should I speak of love, let my feelings out I never thought I'd come to this, what's it all about Don't you think it's rather funny That I should be in this position I'm the one who's always been So calm,so cool no lover's fool Running every show, he scares me so Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout Should I speak of love, let my feelings out I never thought I'd come to this, what's it all about Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost, I'd be frightened I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope I'd turn my head, I'd back away, I wouldn't want to know He scares me so, I want him so, I love him so I Got A Name Like the pine trees lining the winding road I got a name, I got a name Like the singing bird and the croaking toad I got a name, I got a name And I carry it with me like my Daddy did But I living the dream, that he kept hid Moving me down the highway Rolling me down the highway Moving ahead so life won't pass me by Like the north wind whistling down the sky I got a song, I got a song Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry I got a sing, I got a song And I carry it with me and I sing it loud If it gets me nowhere, I go there proud Moving me down the highway Rolling me down the highway Moving ahead so life won't pass me by And I'm go there free Like a fool I am and I'll always be I got a dream, I got a dream They can change their minds, but they can't change me I got a dream, I got a dream Oh I know I could share it if you wnat me to If you're going my way, I'll go with you Moving me down the highway Rolling me down the highway Moving ahead so life won't - pass me by We Are The World There comes a time when we need a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending day by day That someone, somehow will soon make a change We're all a part of God's great big family And the truth - you know love is all we need We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me Well, send'em you your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us By turning stone to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day Just you and me When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, let's realize That one change can only come When we stand together as one We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving There's a choice we're making...... Go The Distance "Hercules" / Michael Bolton I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I will find my way, I can go the distance I'll be there someday, if I can be strong I know every mile will be worth my while I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong I am on my way, I can go the distance I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong I know every mile will be worth my while I would go most anywhere to find where I belong I will beat the odds, I can go the distance I will face the world, fearless, proud and strong I will please the gods, I can go the distance Till I find my hero's welcome right where I belong I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way, if I can be strong I know every mile will be worth my while When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope, But I won't lose hope Till I go the distance and my journey is complete But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms I will search the world, I will face its harms Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms. Fernando Can you hear the drums Fernando? I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from a far They were closer now Fernando Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando Now we're old and grey Fernando And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums Fernando? Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande? I can see it in your eyes How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me, for liberty, Fernando Though we never thought that we could lose, there's no regret If I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando Yes, if I had to do the same again, I would, my friend, Fernando... Such beautiful melodys, and such beautiful words, bring back memories and stir my imagination. I recently attended the most beautiful wedding imaginable and listed to the wedding vows that I my self have promised and I wondered just how long their happiness would last? My life's experience tell me that there is not much happiness in this world. My two grown children and a grandchild have brought the greatest joy in to my life, along with my "Little" Henryetta. We need the the magic of music, art, and the words of poets to lift us up from our sorrow. If we are to be happy, we must make it so by having a close relationship with Jesus Christ. |
