SB ALW LYRICS
Through the years, Lloyd Webber wrote many pieces of music for Sarah to sing,
and some that she just recorded. I am going to be working on this page for several
months and see what comes along on this.
Don't Cry For Me Argentina
-------------------------------
It won't be easy
You'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
But 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
Chorus :
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,
It was all I desired
They're all illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answers were here all the time
I love you, and hope you love me
Don't Cry For Me Argentina. . .
The Phantom of the Opera
------------------------------
(Brightman)
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice which calls to me
And speaks my name
And do I dream again, for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there,
Inside my mind
(Crawford)
Sing once again with me,
Our strange duet
My power over you
Grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me, to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there,
Inside your mind
(Brightman)
Those who have seen your face,
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
(Crawford)
It's me they hear
(Brightman and Crawford)
Your/my spirit and my/your voice
In one combined, The Phantom of the Opera is there/here
Inside your/my mind
(Crawford)
In all your fantasies,
You always knew
That man and mystery
(Brightman)
Were both in you
(Brightman and Crawford)
And in this labyrinth,
Where night is blind,
The Phantom of the Opera is there/here
Inside my/your mind
(Brightman)
He's there, the Phantom of the Opera
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh hh ahh ahh, ahh!
Ahh, ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh!
Ahh, ahh ahh ahh, ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh!
Ahh ahh ahh, ahh ah!
Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
All I Ask of You
------------------------
(Raoul)
No more talk of darnkess, forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you beside you, to guard you and to guide you
(Christine)
Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you'll need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's All I Ask of You. .
(Raoul)
Let me be your freedom, let me be your light
You're safe, nothing can harm you, your fears are far behind you
(Christine)
All I want is freedom, the world with no more night
And you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me
(Raoul)
Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime,
Let me lead you from you're solitude
Say you'll want me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's All I Ask of You
(Christine)
Say you'll share with me one love one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
(Both)
Share each day with me each night, each morning
(Christine)
Say you love me
(Raoul)
You know I do. . .
(Both)
Love me, that's all I ask of You
Anywhere you go let me go too,
Love me, that's all I ask of You
Pie Jesu
------------------
Pie jesu, pie jesu, pie jesu, pie jesu
Qui tolis pecatta mundi
Donna eis requiem
Donna eis requiem
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
--------------------------------------
You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
Wishing You Were Somehow near,
Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here
Wishing I could hear your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you, won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I could
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seemed for you the wrong companion
You were warm and gentle
Too many years,
Fighting back tears
Why can't the past
Just die!!
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
Knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive, teach me to live
Give me the strength to try!
No more memories,
No more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years. . .
Help me say Goodbye
Help me say Goodbye!!
Half a Moment
------------------------
Half a Moment
We are together
I shall want no one else
And nothing new
Half a Moment
I shall treasure
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day
Should you leave me
for just this moment
In my mind I shall capture it anew
Like some picture
taken in my childhood
Half a Moment
spent with you
Half a moment
I shall treasure
Keep it locked away
For some future rainy day
Countless vivid memories
Spin before my view
Like some toy kaliedoscope
Images of you
Time looks kindly
On fleeting lovers
They can turn the briefest hour
In to a day
Turn a moment
to a lifetime
Making it to last
Blending future with the past
We're together
What else can matter?
Even though
A half a moment is too few
I shall save it
'til I have another
Making one whole moment
Filled with you
Whistle Down the Wind
---------------------------
Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
That's trechorous and scary
Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The tears and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend
So try and stem the tide
Then you'll raise a pyre
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end I'm there
So Whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there
Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you my precious friend
So Whistle Down the Wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
That's trechorous and scary
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there
So Whistle Down the Wind
For I have always been right there
Surrender
-------------------
No more wars to fight
White flags fly tonight
You are out of danger now
Battle field is still
Wild poppies on the hill
This can only come when you surrender
Here the tracers fly
Lighting up the sky
I will fight until the end
Let them send their armies
I will never bend
I won't see you now til I surrender
I'll see you again when I surrender
Battle field is still
Wild poppies on the hill
Peace can only come when you surrender
Here the tracers fly
Lighting up the sky
But I'll fight until the end
Let them send their armies
I will never bend
I won't see you now til I surrender
I'll see you again when I surrender
