Barbra Streisand - The Essential 3.0 [compilation] (2009) by Barbra Streisand (보컬) on maniadb.com

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the lone night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...

And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...

I wanted the music to play on forever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
I bought me blue ribbons to tie up my hair
But I couldn't find anybody to care;
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
Oh, mother dear, I know you're very proud
Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd;
No, daddy dear, you never could have known
That I would be successful, yet so very much alone . . .

I wanted to live in a carnival city
With laughter and love everywhere
I wanted my friends to be thrilling and witty
I wanted somebody to care
I found my blue ribbons all shiny and new
But now I discover them no longer blue . . .
The merry-go-round is beginning to taunt me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?
There's nothing to win
And there's no one to want me
Have I stayed too long at the fair?

Sky was blue and high above
The moon was new, so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover, where can you be
It came at last love had its day
The day is past, you've gone away
This eager heart of mine is singing
Lover, come to me
I remember every little thing we used to to
I'm lonely
Every road i walked alone,
I walked along with you
No wonder i am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while i'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover,, come to me
When i remember every little thing we used to do
Oh...i'm lonely
Every road i walked alone i walked along with you
No wonder i am lonely
The sky is blue, the night is cold
The moon is new, but love is old
And while i'm standing here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover, lover, get here to me...
Now!!!

People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Where children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more
It cost me a lot
But that's one thing that I've got
It's my man
Cold and wet
Tired you bet
But all that I soon forget
With my man
He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
He's my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him

Oh my man I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright, alright,
What's the difference if I say
I'll go away
When I know I'll come back
On my knees someday
Oh whatever my man is
I am his
Forever more

Father has a business
Strictly second-hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby grand
Stuff in our apartment
Came from Father's store
Even things I'm wearing, someone wore before
It's no wonder that I feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used!

I'm wearing second-hand hats
Second-hand clothes
That's why the call me Second-Hand Rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Daddy bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second-hand pearls
I'm wearing second-hand curls
I never get a single thing that's new
Even Jake the Plumber, he's the man I adore
He had the nerve to tell me he'd been married before
Everyone knows that I'm just Second-Hand Rose
From Second Avenue

I'm wearing second-hand shoes
Second-hand hose
All the girls hand me their second-hand beaus
Even my pajamas, when I don them
Have somebody else's 'nitials on them
Second-hand rings, I'm sick of second-hand things
I never get what other girlies do
Once while strolling through the Ritz, a girl got my goat
She nudged her friend and said, "Oh, look, there goes my old fur coat!"
Everyone knows that I'm just Second-Hand Rose
From Second Avenue

He touched me, he put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow

He knew it...It wasn't accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, I know...
He's real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive t'wards valentining
He touched me; I simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But he touched me...He touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
'Cause he touched me...He touched me...
And suddenly...nothing, nothing, nothing is the same

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putta
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade?

I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye

I gotta fly once, I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you'll see
I gotta have my bite, sir.

Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

I'm gonna live and live now!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am!

I'll march my band out, I beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it

Get ready for me, love, 'cause I'm a comer
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!

Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of
Every mountain, sea and shore,
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never never heard before

And on a clear day
On a clear day
You can see forever and ever and ever and ever more.

I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the good book Jesus till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go down the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
(Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again)

I can still remember him with love light in his eyes
But the light flickered out and parted as the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go down the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
(Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again, Mama, cradle me again)

Never mind the forecast, 'cause the sky has lost control
'Cause the fury and the broken thunder's come to match my raging soul
Now I don't believe I want to see the morning

Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go down the stoney end
Mama, let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again

(Going down the stoney end)
(I never wanted to go, I never wanted to go) I never wanted to go, never wanted to go
(Going down the stoney end)
(I never wanted to go, I never wanted to go) Mama, I never wanted to go
(Going down the stoney end)
(I never wanted to go, I never wanted to go)

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You may leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess it'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad


And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me
You love me then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm still
I'm still
I'm still in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since i fell for you
Since I fell for you...

What are you doing the rest of your life
North and South and
East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
Are the nickels and the dimes of your day
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of gold and forests of the night
And when you stand


before the candles on a cake
Oh let me be the one to hear
the silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In a world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

For all of my life
Summer winter spring and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all my life with you

- The Way We Were -

by Barbra Streisand

Memories, like the colors of my mind
Misty water-color memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

추억들, 내가슴속 빛깔 같은
지난날 우리의
수채화 같은 추억들
우리의 아름다웠던 순간들이
지난날 우리의 미소들이 또오르네

Can it be that it was so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had chance to do it all again
Tell me would we, oh could we ?

그때는 모든 것이 간단했나
아니면 시간이 흘러 그런 것인가
우리가 다시 시작할 기회가 주어진다면
그렇게 할까, 시작할 수 있을까 ?

Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
The laughter we'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

추억이란 아름다운 것.
기억하기 고통스런 것은
잊어야 해.
그래, 웃어야지
웃음을 기억할 거야.
지난날 우리가 생각날 때면
지난날 우리
지난날 우리

All is fair in love
Love's a crazy game
Two people vow to stay in love as one they say
But all is changed with time
The future none can see
The road you leave behind
Ahead lies mystery.

All is fair in love
I have to go away
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
All in love is fair.

All of fate's a chance
It's either good or bad
I tossed my coin to say
In love with me you'd stay.
But all in war is so cold
You either win or lose
When all is put away the losing side I'll play.

All is fair in love
I should have never left your side
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
That all in love is fair.
A writer takes his pen to write the words again
That all in love is fair.

It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
And the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trouts stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A far pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you


Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two


You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They worm and excit us 'cause we have the brightest love


Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

I got the feelin′ the feelin′s gone
My heart has gone to sleep
One of these mornings I′ll be gone
My heart belongs to me
Can we believe in fairy tales?
Can love survive when all else fails?
Can′t hide the feelin′ the feelin′ s gone
My heart belongs to me
But now my love, hey didn′t I love you
But we knew what had to be
Some how my love I′ll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
Put out the light and close your eyes
Come lie beside me, don′t ask why
Can′t hide the feelin′ the feelin′s gone
My heart belongs to me

Chorus:
But now my love, hey didn′t I love you
Didn′t I love you, didn′t I love you, didn′t I love you, baby!
Don′t cry my love, I′ll always love you
But my heart belongs to me
I got the feelin′ the feelin′s gone
My heart belongs to me...
I got the feelin′ the feelin′s gone
My heart belongs to me...

Chorus:

Didn′t I love you, didn′t I love you

(Barbra)
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs

(Neil)
You hardly talk to me anymore
When I come through the door at the end of the day...

(Barbra)
I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night

(Neil)
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling all right

(Barbra)
When you just roll over and turn out the light...
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

(Neil)
It used to be so natural

(Barbra)
It used to be...

(Neil)
To talk about forever

(Barbra)
Mmm...

(Neil)
But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
Till we sweep them away

(Barbra)
And baby I remember all the things you taught me

(Neil)
I learned how to laugh and I learned how to cry

(Barbra)
Well, I learned how to love and I learned how to lie

(Neil)
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye

(Barbra)
So you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers any more...

(Both)
Well, you think I could learn how to tell you goodbye...

(Neil)
'Cause you don't say you need me;

(Barbra)
You don't sing me love songs

(Both)
You don't bring me flowers anymore...

Ooooooh...mmm...mmm...

It's raining, it's pouring
My lovelife is boring me to tears
After all these years
No sunshine,no moonlight, no stardust, no saddend romance
We don't stand a chance
I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man I loved, I loved
Raining, pouring
There's nothing left but a sea
And we won't waste another tear

If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff
Don't you do it
If you've had your fill, get the check, pay the bill
You can do it
Tell him to just get out, yeah
There's nothing to talk about
Pack his raincoat, show him out
Just look him in the eye and simply shout

* Enough is enough
I can't go on, I can't go on no more, no!
Enough is enough
I want him out, I want him out that door now

I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover
But he turned out to be like every other man I loved
I had no choice from the start
I've got to listen to my heart
Tearin' us apart

* Repeat

Goodbye Mister
Goodbye, goodbye Mister
Goodbye sugar
No more tears

No more tears, no more tears......
Enough is enough is enough is......
I've had it, you've had it, he's had it, we've had it, I've had it....
Enough is enough
No more tears
...is enough is enough is enough!

Shadows falling, baby, we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't want to hear your goodbye

Ooh, ooh

Pulses racing, darling
How grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time

And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky

I don't want to hear your goodbye

Don't want to hear your goodbye

I don't want to hear your

And we got nothing
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are
And we never let it end (Oh, we never)
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky (We got a highway)
Don't want to hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far, we are

I still can remember
The last time I cried
I was holding you and loving you
Knowing it would end

I never felt so good
Yet felt so bad
You're the one I love
And what makes it sad
Is you don't belong to me

And I can remember
The last time I lied
I was holding you and telling you
We could still be friends

Tried to let you go
But I can't, you know
And even though I'm not with you
I need you so
But you don't belong to me

Chorus:
Comin' in and out of your life
Isn't easy,
When there are so many nights
I can't hold you and I've told you
These feelings are so hard to find
Comin' in and out of your life
Will never free me
'Cause I don't need to touch you
To feel you, it's so real with you

I just can't get you out of my mind
But I can remember the last time we tried
Each needing more than we could give
And knowing all the time
A stronger love
Just can't be found
Even though at times this crazy world
Is turning up-side-down
You'll always belong to me

Chorus

Midnight, not a sount from the pavement.

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone.

In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet.

And the wind begins to moan.

Memory, all alone in the moonlight,

I can smile like of the old days.

I was beautiful then.

I remember the time

I knew what happiness was.

Let the memory live again.

Every street lamp seems to beat

A fatalistic warning.

Someone mutters, and the street lamp sputters

And soon it will be morning.

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.

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning.

The street lamp dies

Another night is over

Another day is dawning.

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 was.

Look, a new day has begun

(Filled with a love for learning, Yentl has

journey begins...)

[Prayer]
Oh God-our heavenly Father.
Oh, God-and my father
Who is also in heaven.
May the light of this
Flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul.

Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa can you find me in the night?
Papa are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?

Looking at the skies I seem to see
A million eyes which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker;
The wind is so much colder;
The world I see is so much bigger

Now that I'm alone.
Papa, please forgive me.
Try to understand me;
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying,
Anything I'm saying
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember everything you taught me
Every book 1've ever read...

Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller;
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright...
Papa, how I love you...
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me good night...

Verse:
Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is I'm meant to be?
That I can't dare...

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
(papa, can you hear me? )
To try my wings
(papa, are you near me? )
And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall,
I felt the most
(papa, can you see me? )
Amazing things,
(can you understand me? )
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 mem'ries 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 sahre
My ev'ry 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-
(papa, I've a voice now!)
Each page I turn-
(papa, I've a choice now!)
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!

Barbra:Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this --
Voice 1:Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.
Voice 2:No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure.
Voice 3:He's right!
Voice 1:Sweetheart, it's just not commercial!
Barbra:What is commercial?
Voice 2:It's not what's selling nowadays.
Voice 1:I mean - personally, I love it, but --
B (sung):Be nice, girl!
Voice 3:Nobody's into this kind of material.
B (sung):You have to pay a price, girl!
Voice 2:This album needs a hit single we can push.
B (sung):They like to give advice, girl!
Voice 1:The whole idea's too risky.
B (sung):Don't think about it twice, girl!
Voice 2:The audience won't understand this kind of thing!
B (sung):It's time to get to work!
Barbra:I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it?
Voice 3:This is like your old stuff!
B (sung):Art isn't easy.
Voice 3:You've got to appeal to the kids.
B (sung):Even when you're hot.
Voice 2:Why would you want to make an album like this anyway?
B (sung):Advancing art is easy.
Voice 1:I think we ought to talk seriously about this.
B (sung):Financing it is not!

Voice 2:You have to think about you career!
B (sung):It has to come to life!

B (sung):
Bit by bit / Putting it together
Piece by piece / Only way to make a work of art
Every moment makes a contribution
Every little detail plays a parts
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution

Putting it together / That's what counts!
Ounce by ounce / Putting in together
Small amounts / Having it can make a work of art
First of all you need a good foundation
Otherwise it's risky from the start
Takes a little cocktail conversation
But without the proper preparation
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution

The art of making art
Is putting it together / Bit by bit

Voice 2:Do we really need all these musicians?

Link by link / Making the connections Yes we do!
Drink by drink / Taking every comment as it comes
Learning how to play the politician
Like you play piano, bass and drums
Otherwise you'll find your composition
Isn't gonna get much exhibition

Art isn't easy
Every minor detail / Is a major decision
Have to keep things in scale
Have to hold to your vision

Voice 1:Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling?

What's a little cocktail conversation
If it gets the funds for your foundation
Every time I start to feel defensive --
I remember vinyl is expensive!

Voice 3:Would you agree to do an interview?
Barbra:Maybe one!

Dot by dot / Building up the image
Shot by shot / Keeping at a distance doesn't pay
Soon as you remember your objective
Keeps all your privacy away
A little bit of hype can be effective
As long as you can keep it in perspective
Even when you get some recognition
Everything you do you still audition

Art isn't easy
Overnight you're a trend / You're the right combination
Then the trend's at an end
You're suddenly last year's sensation!

All they ever want is repetition
All they really like is what they know
You gotta keep a link with your tradition
Got to learn to trust your intuition
While you reestablish your position
So that you can be on exhibi-
Spoken:So that your work can be on exhibition!!!

B (sung):
Be new, girl!
They tell you till they're blue, girl!
You're new, or else you're through, girl!
And even if it's true, girl,
You do what you can do!

Bit by bit / Putting it together
Piece by piece / Working on the vision night and day
All it takes is time and perseverance
And a little luck along the way
Putting in a personal appearance
Gathering supporters and adherents

Voice 1:Well, she's an original!
Voice 3:WAS!

Noting every song but in addition
Harmonizing each negotiation
Balancing the part that's all musicians
With the part that's strictly presentation
Balancing the money with the mission
Till you have the perfect orchestration
Even if you do have the suspicion
That it's taking all your concentration

The art of making art
Is putting it together / Bit by bit
Beat by beat / Part by part
Sheet by sheet / Chart by chart
Track by track by bit by reel by stack by stock by stick by steel
by shpiel and the-e-e-en, It's the state of the art

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around

Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling I don't care
I've got ways

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there

Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to
I would never hide a thing from you
Like some

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle I'll be there

Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothin' can harm you
Not while I'm around

Isn't it rich,
Aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss,
Don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

Just when i stopped opening doors
Finally knowing the one that i wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines - no one is there

Don't you love farce,
My fault i fear
I thought that you'd want what i want,
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns

What a surprise,
Who could foresee?
I've come to feel about you what you felt about me
Why only now when i see that you've drifted away
What a surprise, what a clich

Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here.

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Just hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...

No more talk of darkness
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

Say you love me every winter morning
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe
No one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you
Always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share with me one love,
One lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you,
Here beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning
Say you love me (You know I do)
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

How do you say to your child in the night

Nothing is all black but then nothing is all white?

How do you say it will all be alright

When you know that it mightn't be true?

What do you do?

Careful the things you say,

Children will listen.

Careful the things you do,

Children will see.

And learn.

Children may not obey,

But children will listen.

Children will look to you

For which way to turn,

To learn what to be.

Careful before you say,

"listen to me."

Children will listen.

Careful the wish you make,

Wishes are children.

Careful the path they take,

Wishes come true,

Not free.

Careful the spell you cast,

Not just on children.

Sometimes the spell may last



Past what you can see

And turn against you...

Careful the tale you tell.

That is the spell.

Children will listen...

How can you say to a child who's in flight,

Don't slip away and I won't hold so tight?

What can you say that no matter how slight won't be misunderstood?

What do you leave to your child when you're dead

Only what ever you put in it's head

Things that your mother and father had said

Which were left to them too.

Careful what you say, children will listen

Careful you do it too, children will see and learn.

Oh!

Guide them but step away,

Children will glisten.

Tamper with what is true

And children will turn,

If just to be free.

Careful before you say,

"listen to me."

Children will listen...

Children will listen!

Children, children will listen

I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here.
Yes a world to rediscover,
But I'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment.

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways,
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye.

I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now
You can't know how I've missed you,
Missed the fairy-tail adventures
In this ever-spinning playground
We were young together.

I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning,
Not long until the camera's will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making...
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye.

I don't want to be alone that's all in the past,
This world's waited long enough,
I've come home at last!

And this time will be bigger,
And brighter than we knew it.
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways,
So much to say not just today but always.
We'll have early morning madness.
We'll have magic in the making.
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye...
Oh, please don't ever ever make me say goodbye!!!

I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel completeWe started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things beginThis time it's different,Dah dah dah dahIt's all because of you,Dah dah dah dahIt's better than it's ever been'Cause we can talk it throughOohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to sayTo take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night'Cause whatever I do,It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Ooh, someoneI finally found someone,Oooh . . .Did I keep you waiting,I didn't mindI apologize,Baby, that's fineI would wait foreverJust to know you were mine
You know I love your hair,Are you sure it looks right?I love what you wear,Isn't it the time?You're exceptional,
I can't wait for the rest of my life . . .
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night'Cause whatever I do,It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone,
Whatever I do,It's just got to be youMy life has just begun
I finally found someone

I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh
What if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Touch him (Oooh)
With the gentleness you feel inside (I feel it)
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be
All in time you'll see

Oooh
I love him (Then show him)
Of that much I can be sure (Hold him close to you)
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say

Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go

Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

Oooh
Never let him go

I've dreamed of you
Always feeling you
Were there
And all my life
I have searched for you
Everywhere
I caught your smile
In the morning sun
I heard your whisper
On the breeze of night
I prayed one day
That your arms would hold me tight

And just when i
Thought love had passed me by
We met
That first look
In your eyes
I can't forget
You melted me
With your tender touch
I felt all fear and sorrow
Slip away
Now here we stand
Hand in hand


This blessed day

I promise you
As I give to you
My heart
That nothing in this world
Shall keep us apart
Come happily ever after be
The woman I'll love
Until the very end
I've dreamed of you
My great love
And my best friend

For God must know
How I love you so
He's blessed us here today
As man and wife
Come dream with me
As I've dreamed of you
All my life

Come dream with me
As I've dreamed of you
All my life

Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me
He'll whisper "I love you"
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true
Some day I'll find my love


Someone to call my own
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat
Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though she's far away I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afarid of the dark

At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on
Through the wind
Walk on
Through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on

(Choir) Walk on
Oh walk on
(Choir) Walk on - hold you head up

When you walk
Through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid
Of the dark

At the end of that strom
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on
Through the wind
Walk on
Through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on
Walk on
With hope
Hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

A child that hides behind a chair
Almost afraid to grow
Without you there
Whisper words that make you see
What you've come to mean to me
A voice that rises from the heart
The hunger seizes me
And tears my soul apart
And serving only to renew
How I came to feel for you
Through your love I'd see forever
We became as one
I never saw you turn away
My love was blind
You call me when your storm is over
Crying over love that I can give you
When the night is colder
Holding on to me
Cause it's so hard letting go
And it's so hard not to cry
With your face that lies
You memorize the reason why


And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It's so hard letting go
Foolish that I still believe
That love should never die
It makes me cry to witness where the story ends
All the lovers in the world
Will echo all the words
That I will leave you
When the night is lonely
Only goes to show
That it's so hard letting go
And it's so hard not to cry
And I kneel and pray for yesterday
When you were mine
And when the love is gone
Then one of us will know
It's so hard letting go.

I look at you and there it is.
The ultimate in where it is
And realize how rare it is
This finding your love.
You try so many arms
When you are lonely.
To find the one and only.
One day you turn and he's there.
Amazing how serene it is.
The shade of evergreen, it is.
Exactly what we mean, it is.
And knew it would be.
When love like ours arrives
We guard it with our lives.
Whatever goes astray
When a rainy day comes around
A love like ours will keep us safe and sound.

(humming)

When love like ours arrives
We guard it with our lives.
Whatever goes astray
What rainy day comes around
Love like ours will keep us safe and sound.

Think of all the hearts
Beating in the world
At the same time.
Think of all the faces
And stories they could tell
At the same time.
Think of all the eyes
Looking out into this world
Trying to make some sense of what we see
Think of all the ways we have of seeing
Think of all the ways there are of being.
Think of all the children
Being born into this world
At the same time.
Feel your love surround them
Through the years they'll need to grow
At the same time.
Just think of all the hands
That will be reaching for a dream
Think of all the dreams that could come true...
Yes, if the hands we're reaching with
Could come together
Joining me and you.
When it comes to thinking of tomorrow
We must protect our fragile destiny
In this precious life there's no time to borrow
The time has come to be a family
Ohhh...
Think of all the love
Pouring from our hearts
At the same time.
Yes, think of all the light our looks
Can shine and grow this world
At the same time
At the same time
Yes think what we've been givin
And yet think what we could lose
All of life is in our trembling hands
And join to build a world
that loves and understands
It helps to think of all the hearts
beating in the world
And hope for all the hearts
healing in the world
At the same time...

By the way did I hear you say
If some night I seem too lonely

You would stay
Oh and by the way
Have I told you yet that only recently
He moved out on me
Took the towels we stole
From some motel in Tennessee
He was gone long before he really left
I knew it ...

By the way he began to say:
Love takes time, I'm in a hurry

Anyway that's all yesterday
Let's get back to us
Why worry?
If you try calling by and by
Oh, and by the way, I thought I mentioned
You can't stay...

Leave the lights...
You don't look a thing like he did

And it's time to play
It's another day
Why can't we make love fall
By the way?

In a very unusual way one time I needed you.
In a very unusual way you were my friend.
Maybe it lasted a day, maybe it lasted an hour.
But, somehow it will never end.

In a very unusual way I think I'm in love with you.
In a very unusual way I want to cry.
Something inside me goes week,
Something inside me surrenders.
And you're the reason why,
You're the reason why

You don't know what you do to me,
You don't have a clue.
You can't tell what its like to be me looking at you.
It scares me so, that I can hardly speak.

In a very unusual way, I owe what I am to you.
Though at times it appears I won't stay, I never go.
Special to me in my life,
Since the first day that I met you.
How could I ever forget you,
Once you had touched my soul?
In a very unusual way,
You've made me whole

Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you


Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two


You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They worm and excit us 'cause we have the brightest love


Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

Love me love me say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind


You touch me
I hear the sound of violins
You kiss me
And with your kiss the world begins
You're Spring to me
All things to me
You're life itself

Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh my darling cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind

For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind the wind
Wild is my love for you

So often as I wait for sleep
I find myself reciting
The words I've said or should
Have said
Like scenes that need rewriting
The smiles I never answered
Doors perhaps I should
Have opened
Songs forgotten in the morning
I relive the roles I've playes
The tears I may have squandered
The many pipers I ave paid
Along the roads I've wandered
Yet all the time I knew it
Love was somewhere
Out there waiting
Though I may regret a kiss or two
If I had changed a single day
What went amiss or went astray
I may have never found
My way to you
If I had changed a single day
What went amiss or went astray
I may have never found
My way to you
I wouldn't change a thing
That happened
On my way to you.

After we love, we bathe in a glow
Remembering what happened a moment ago
Like after the rain, when the wind breezes a sigh
While it's resting on pillows of sky
Deep in your arms, it's peaceful and warm
Together we lay in a calm that comes after a storm
In a moment or two, we can hear the stars coming through
I love the quiet right after the rain here with you

After the rain, the birds wanna fly


The trees all in green hang the leaves out to dry
Like puddles and pools, what your eyes let me see
Are their loving reflections of me
After a while, you touch me and then
I feel like a flower that longs for a shower again

And then lost in a kiss,
I could stay for hours like this
Though I don't know just what magic the raindrops contain
I know that everything's wonderful after the rain
