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 your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the world you knew before Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar And you'll live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music will caress you Feel it, hear it, secretly possess 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 to journey through a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Let your soul take you where you long 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 |

Love,
Love changes everything: Hands and faces, Earth and sky, Love, Love changes everything: How you live and How you die Love Can make the summer fly, Or a night Seem like a lifetime. Yes, Love, Love changes everything: Now I tremble At your name. Nothing in the world will ever Be the same. Love, Love changes everything: Days are longer, Words mean more. Love, Love changes everything: Pain is deeper Than before. Love Will turn your world around, And that world Will last for ever. Yes, Love, Love changes everything, Brings you glory, Brings you shame. Nothing in the World will ever Be the same. Off Into the world we go, Planning futures, Shaping years. Love, Bursts in, and suddenly All our wisdom Disappears. Love Makes fools of everyone: All the rules We make are broken. Yes, Love, Love changes everyone. Live or perish In its flame. Love will never, Never let you Be the same. |

Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter.
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've 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, Or a freckle on the nose of life's complexion, The cinderella or the shinny apple of it's eye. I gotta fly once, I gotta try once. Only I can die once. right, sir? Ooh... life is juicy. juicy and you 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 she'll bang! One throw, that bell will go clang! Eye on the target and wham! One shot, one gun shot and bam! Hey, everybody, here I am! I'll march my band out! I'll beat my drum! And if I'm fanned out, you turn at bat, sir. I guess I didn't make it. hat, sir. At least I didn't fake 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! |

There's calm surrender
To the rush of day When the heat of the rollring wind Can be turned away An enchanted moment And it sees me through It's enough for this restless warrior Just to be with you And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best There's a time for everyone If they only learn That the twisting kaleidoscope Move us all in turn There's rhyme and reason To the wild out door When the heart of this star-crossed voyager Beats in time with yours And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer That we got this far And can you feel the love tonight How it's laid to rest It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best It's enough to make kings and vagabonds Believe the very best |

From the musical, my fair lady Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love, Show me! Tell me not dreams Filled with desire. If you're on fire, Show me! Never do I ever want To hear another word. There isn't one I haven't heard. Here we are together In what ought to be a dream; Say one more word and I'll scream! Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme! Don't waste my time, Show me! Please don't implore Beg on the seats Don't make all the speach Show me! Here we are together in the middle of the night! Don't talk of spring! just hold me tight! Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that This is no time for a chat! Haven't your arms Hungered for mine? Please don't explain Show me! Show me! Don't wait until wrinkles and lines Pop out all over my brow, Show me now! Never do I ever want to hear another word. There isn't one I haven't heard. Here we are together in what ought to be a dream; Say one more word and I'll scream! Haven't your lips Longed for my touch? Don't say how much, Show me! show me! Don't wait until wrinkles and lines Pop out all over my brow, Show me now! |

(tim rice/benny andersson/bjoern ulvacus)
From the musical, chess No man, no madness, Though their sad power may prevail, Can possess, conquer, my country's heart They rise to fail She is eternal Long before nations' lines were drawn When no flags flew, and no armies stood My land was born And you ask me why I love her Through wars, death and despair She is the constant We who don't care And you ask me would I leave her -- but how? I cross over borders but I'm still there now How can I leave her? Where would I start? Let men's petty nations tear themselves apart My land's only borders lie around my heart Want to know more about anthem? |

Sure, I came out here
To make my name Wanted my pool, my dose of fame Wanted my parking space at Warners'. But, after a year A one-room hell A murphy bed A rancid smell Wallpaper peeling at the corners Sunset Boulevard Twisting boulevard Secretive and rich, a little scary. Sunset Boulevard Tempting boulevard Waiting there to swallow the unwary. Dreams are not enough To win a war Out here they're always keeping score Beneath the tan, the battle rages. Smile a rented smile Fill someone's glass Kiss someone's wife Kiss someone's ass We do whatever pays the wages. Sunset boulevard Headline boulevard Getting here is only the beginning. Sunset boulevard Jackpot boulevard Once you've won you have to go on winning. You think I've sold out? Dead right I've sold out. I just keep waiting For the right offer: Comfortable quarters, Regular Rations, 24-hour five-star room service. And if I'm honest I like the lady I can't help being Touched by her folly. I'm treading water, Taking her money, Watching her sunset... Well, I'm a writer. L.A.'s changed a lot Over the years Since those brave gold rush pioneers Came in their creaky covered wagons. Far as they could go End of the line, Their dreams were yours Their dreams were mine But in those dreams Were hidden dragons. Sunset Boulevard Frenzied boulevard Swamped with every kind of false emotion. Sunset Boulevard Brutal boulevard Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean. She was sinking fast I threw a rope Now I have suites And she has hope It seemed an elegant solution. One day this must end, It isn't real Still I'll enjoy A hearty meal Before tomorrow's execution. Sunset Boulevard Ruthless boulevard Destination for the stony-hearted. Sunset Boulevard Lethal boulevard Everyone's forgotten how they started Here on Sunset Boulevard! |

The nights grow cold
My search for gold is leading nowhere Whichever lonely road I take it seems to go where It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow How can I display What I know I'm worthy of When they turn me away. The doors are closed to such as I A Boy from Nowhere But not to those who merely buy the right to go where There'll be men with respect not humiliation A man's place on earth I have come to realise is decided by birth. So what's the future? No matter where I go I will still belong In Andalusia Where we don't know where the next penny's coming from - Something's wrong I vow to Spain, I won't remain a Boy from Nowhere There has to be a place for me and I must go where I don't fantasise, like a million others Not a man alive Had to beg or steal or fight for the need to survive So what's the future? No matter where I go, I will still belong In Andalusia The good honest men grow weak and the rich grow strong Something's wrong Another dawn, another morn A Boy from Nowhere My destiny will guarantee that I must go where It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow One more mouth to feed And the way things are round here That's the last thing they need |

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance Whether true or fabricated Whether planned or happenstance Whether sweeping through the ages Casting centuries aside Or a hurried brief recital Just a thirty-minute ride Whether bright or melancholy Rough and ready, finely spun Whether with a thousand players Or a lonely cast of one Every story, new or ancient Bagatelle or work of art All are tales of human failing All are tales of love at heart This is the story Of a love that flourished In a time of hate Of lovers no tyranny could separate Love set into motion on the Nile's shore Destiny ignited by an act of war Egypt saw the mighty river as it's very heart and soul Source of life for all her people That only Egypt could control Destruction of her southern neighbor, justified Nubia exploited, left with little more than pride, oh |

Could be! Who knows? There's something due any day; I will know right away, Soon as it shows. It may come cannonballing down Thru the sky, Gleam in it's eye, Bright as a rose! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, Down the block, on a beach, Under a tree... I got a feeling there's a miracle due, Gonna come true, Coming to me! Could it be? Yes, it could. Something's coming, something good. If I can wait! Something's coming, I don't know what it is, But it is gonna be great! With a click, with a shock, Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, Open the latch! Something's coming, Don't know well but it's soon; Catch the moon, One handed catch! Around the corner, Or whistling down the river, Come on, deliver to me. Will it be? Yes, it will. Maybe just by holding still, It'll be there! Come on, something, Come on in, Don't be shy, Meet a guy, Pull up a chair! The air is humming And something great is coming! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, Down the block, on a beach, Maybe tonight... |

I dreamed a dream in times 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. |

Tell me it's not true
Say it's just a story Something on the news Tell me it's not true Though it's here before me Say it's just a dream Say it's just a scene From an old movie of years ago From an old movie of Marilyn Monroe Say it's just some clowns Two players in the limelight And bring the curtain down Say it's just two clowns Who couldn't get their lines right Say it's just a show on the radio That we can turn over and start again That we can turn over; it's just a game. Tell me it's not true Say I only dreamed it And morning will come soon Tell me it's not true. Say you didn't mean it Say it's just the tale Say it's just the end Of an old movie from years ago From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe. Tell me it's not true Say you didn't mean it Say it's just pretend Say it's just the end Of an old movie from years ago From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe. Tell me it's not true Say you didn't mean it Say it's just pretend Say it's just the end Of an old movie from years ago From an old movie with Marilyn Monroe.

Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day . . . Midnight Not a sound 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 at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn'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 streetlamp 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 is Look A new day has begun |

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of a storm is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind, Walk on through the rain, Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, You'll never, ever walk alone. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone, You'll never, ever walk alone. |
