Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
But this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
(Michael Bolton/Liz Sharpe)
Don't know why I never told you
There was something in your eyes that took my breath away
And every word I meant to say
Now I know I'd give my soul to you
Take you back in time and hold you
Just for one more day, so I wouldn't have to hurt this way
So I beg and plead, I'm on my knees
Gonna show you how long I can wait
I can't keep holding on if you're telling my heart it's too late
Chorus:
Next lifetime our love will be deeper
And I'll hold you sweeter
I won't waste so much time
Next lifetime I'll find you sooner
And I'll kiss you better
I won't lose you next time
Oh I will lay my heart on the line, next lifetime
I don't know what I was thinking
But giving you a part of me wasn't good enough
Never gave you all my love
I can't believe I was such a fool
All I needed was to prove to you I could feel like this
Could have said it all in our last kiss
Oh I beg and plead, I'm on my knees
I could never unmake my mistake
I can keep holding on but if somebody's taking my place
Chorus
Never knew how long the nights could be
Till you slipped right through my hands
How do I make you believe that I deserve a second chance
Take me back to the place where your heart was mine
If I could take you back in time
I will lay my heart on the line (x2)
Tell me how long, can we go on this way
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search
When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark
[Chorus:]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need
Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride
Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame
When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand
[Chorus]
All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand
[Chorus]

I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Ican't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here with me
Hey window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand, yes it was
Now that we've parted
There's one sound that I just can't stand...
Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories, hey
I can't stand the rain, ooh
'Gainst my window, oh no no
'Cause he's not here with me, uh
Alone with the pillow uh uh
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say, hey hey
Uh, uh, I can't stand the rain...
(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)...
Baby, uh, uh, uh, hey hey
Ooh, ooh, uh, uh, hey
Don't you know, 't you think...
No no ooh oooohh hey hey hey hey hey, no
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
Oohh !... Get off my window...
(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)...
Get off my window now, get off my window
Get off my window nah, I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain, ooh, can't stand the rain, oh
I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
CHORUS:
Tell me how am I suppose to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I suppose to live without you
How am I suppose to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
CHORUS:
(bridge)
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true
Sweet little girl, she's the high school queen
She lives tonight, in every school boys' dream
Oh, but nobody knows how she's cryin'
She's just a child goin' on seventeen
She gets so confused by her friends and their scenes
They don't mean what they say
They don't say what they mean
She reads the signs, reads between the lines
But it makes no difference
There's no reason or rhyme
Just hold on girl, as long as you can
In time you'll learn what you don't understand
It's the human condition, it's the nature of man
[Chorus:]
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
Everybody's crazy, everybody's crazy
This city boy, he don't want no control
He just wanna party and play his rock 'n' roll
But here they come to turn the pressure on
Say'n son, your partyin' days are gone
The time has come now to be a man
Find your place in the world, gotta take what you can
You've got no ambition, take a look at yourself
When ya gonna straighten out, be like everybody else
The boy said listen dad, you're bringin' me down
I am who I am, I've had a good look around
There's one thing in the world I can tell you I've found
[Chorus]
There ain't no wonder things are so outta hand
Sooner or later, ya come to understand
The human condition, it's the nature of man
[Chorus]
It's in your eyes
Here we go again
Tonight you're gonna come on strong
Such a cryin' shame, the time we spend
Over who's been right
And who's been wrong
There'll be no pretending this time
Your eyes are like fire
You'll swear it's the end of the line
But you and I, we both know you're liar
[Chorus:]
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't tell me that we're through
Don't tell me that it's over
Don't try 'n tell me that it's over
It isn't true
Don't tell me that it's over
'Cause you can't say good-bye, any more
Than I, can walk away from you
Ya say it's hard to love a man like me
But baby now and then
Ya do your fair share so easily
You can push me to my limit
And back again
Just when I can't take anymore
And I've made up my mind
I say I'm ready to walk out the door
But somethin' keeps me from leavin' you behind
[Chorus]
There's a reason why
After we've tried
We're not runnin' to the arms of another
When all comes down
We both know by now
We just still mean too much to each other
Don't tell me, don't tell me
Don't tell me it's over
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I don't know what it is you got
But it's plain enough to see
Whatever it is sure
Means alot to me, oh yeah
I try to turn and walk away
But it does no good, I've gotta stay
This feelin' that you give
Won't let me be, oh no
[Chorus:]
You really got a hold on me, yeah, yeah
I can't live without your love
I can't live without your love
I can't live without your love
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live without your love
Everywhere I see your face
Even though my foolish pride
I must admit I've got
No place to hide, oh no
You're even living in my mind
It's getting to the point where I find
A day without you is like
A long lonely ride, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Way that you're coming to me
Amazes me to no end
I turn my back on your love
And people tell me now
That I look like
I done lost my only friend, yeah
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live
I don't know what it is you give
But I can't live without your love, yeah
I can't live without your love
[repeat 8x]
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
When the rain is fallin' and I'm overcome
With the doubts and demons of a love undone
No voice need tell me that you were the one
[Chorus:]
Oh I'll remember all my life
A love that set me free
Whatever comes of you and I
I will still believe
That once upon a time a dream came true
Whenever I remember loving you
Not a single moment, not a single kiss
Would I have traded, would I have missed
No other could ever move me like this
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't feel the pain as deep as pain can be
But I will not be denied the light
Your love has brought to me
What you've given me will last forever
I refuse to lose the treasure
Of you inside my heart eternally
[Chorus]
I'll always feel the love we once knew
As long as I remember loving you
Oh I'll remember loving you
Oh I'll remember all my life
Here ya come with that song on your face
Telling me with tears in your eyes
How ya made a big mistake
Now ya say ya realize
Was I just suppose to fade away
Into the lonely night
Just waitin' for the day
You would say you've learned your lesson well
Livin' without my love was hell
And I would believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes
[Chorus:]
You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough right now
I don't think you've had enough
Baby you don't want me bad enough right now
Maybe you could take some time
Think about the plans we once made
Before ya put your dreams on the line
Think about the price to be paid
Was I suppose to open up the door
And carry on just like it was before
I hope you understand it's not the end
But I'm not goin' through this scene again
And I do believe every word that you say
But I know when I just look in your eyes
[Chorus]
Love you'll learn, is a double-edged blade
Now the tables are turned
And it cuts both ways
If you're ready for love
Then I want you to stay
But this time, yeh
This time, I've gotta be sure, yeh
[Chorus]
You don't want me bad enough
You don't want me bad enough
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love has ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
Oh Ooh Ooh
Searchin' my soul, searchin' for somethin'
To find a way to make you believe, yeah
And what can I say, words don't mean nothin'
Oh, what can I do, to prove what I'm feelin' for you
Oh, I could promise you love eternally
Swear you mean the world to me
Tell you over and over, get down on my knees
To hold you and make you believe
[Chorus:]
Gotta get close to you, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms, and listen to the voice of my heart
Baby, the only way you'll know the sound inside my soul
Gotta get close to me, and listen to the voice of my heart
Look into my eyes, don't look behind you
Let me take you where heaven is waiting
Right here in my arms, yeah
I promise this time, real love will find you
Oh, what can I do, to just make this one thing come true
Oh, I would take your heart, into my hands
Shelter you, make you understand
Tell you over and over, you're all that I need
To hold you and make you believe
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout some deep emotion
You'll find it when you look in my eyes
Lookin' for some real emotion
Come into my life, come into my arms
Come closer, come closer
It don't mean a thing until I can make you believe
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Gotta get into my arms
And listen to the voice of my heart
[Chorus]
(listen to the voice of my heart) Baby
(listen to the voice of my heart)
Gotta get close to me, gotta let love inside
Baby, get close to me
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you'll come runnin' back
That you'll come runnin back
You'll come runnin' back to me
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is, baby
'Cause you always said
That you want to be free
But you'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back to me, to me
Go ahead, go ahead and lie to me, baby
And do anything that you wanna do
And I told ya, ya know I told ya so many times before
You're gonna come back, baby
You're gonna come back
Knockin' at my door
Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, oh yes it is
'Cause I got the real love
The kind that you need
So you'll come runnin' back
That you'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back to me, to me, to me
Oh, time is on my side
You know it is
There are many, many crazy things
That will keep me loving you,
And with your permission
May I list a few?
The way you wear your hat.
The way you sip your tea.
The memory of all that -
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
The way your smile just beams.
The way you sing off-key.
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of:
The way you hold your knife (do-do-do-do do-do).
The way we danced until three.
The way you've changed my life.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
No, they can't take that away from me.
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Woman, you don't understand
Oh, I'm just a man
Baby, that's all I am
That's all I have ever been
And you, you don't understand
Oh, I've gotta live
You make it so hard to do
you know you hurt me, baby
Take me, take me as I am
Take me as I am, Baby
Ooh, ooh, take me as I am
All I believe is that you've taken me
For some kind of dream
I don't want to wait too long
For my love is in the way to see it
I don't wanna lose you, baby
But your love is in the way
Ya gotta listen
It's time to listen to me
You, you don't realize
Oh, I've gotta live
You make it so hard to bear
It may be hard for me to go on
And I know, I know, I know
You'll understand
I'm just a man, baby
That's all I am
Don't make it hard on me
Just take me, take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, baby
Take me as I am, oh
Take me as I am, Baby
Oh, take me as I am now
The summer wind, came blowin' in
From across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair
And walk with me
All summer long we sang a song
And then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts
And the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights
They went flyin' by
The world was new
Beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man
One day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you
To the summer wind
The autumn wind and the winter winds
They have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days
They go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies
Through nights that never end
My fickle friend
The summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
[[lyrics will be ready for posting soon]]
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by the fire
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa' s on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers' child is going to spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle
When she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
Ooh, but I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly,
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
If there's anything on your mind, I'm open
It there's anything in your heart, honey, I'm open
But how can I ever be a man
If you won't open up and let me understand
Oh oh oh oh yeah
[Chorus:]
Come on and tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
If this love is gonna be real
You gotta let your feeling show
If your backs against the wall, I'm open
If you're climbing high and you fall, I'm open
Now if you need me to understand
You know I can't unless you let me in
Oh oh oh oh yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been honest with you
There's nothing more I wanna do
I just wanna give you my love
I only wanna give you my love
Yeah, take it baby, oh oh
Tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
Tell me how you feel, baby
I really gotta know
Tell me how you feel, baby
Tell me how you feel
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
Everynight, I would lie awake
Alone in my bed
Think of you, then I'd cry myself
To sleep, that's what you said
You were so sure of yourself
By now I'd be out of my mind
So where is the madness
The pain and the sadness
You swore you'd be leavin' behind
[Chorus:]
Start breaking my heart
Start bringin' me down
Start breaking my heart
Like you said you'd do to me
Start breaking my heart
Tearin' me apart, breaking my heart
Start breaking my heart
Lookin' back, you were good at diggin'
Into my soul
All the time, oh I should've understood
You just needed control
Finally you realized, how much you were
Foolin' yourself
Ya thought you'd desert me
Thought you could hurt me
By leavin' me for somebody else
[Chorus]
You're breaking your promise to me
You swore I'd be fallin' apart
[Chorus]
You've been gone girl, I don't even
Know how long
Come on and prove me wrong
You can start by breaking my heart
Breaking my heart, breaking my heart
Chorus:
If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
(Yea) yea (yea) yea (yea)
I know I laughed when I left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Baby bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
(Yea) yea (yea) yea (yea)
I'll give you money and jewelry too
That ain't all, all i'd do for you
If you bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
(Yea) yea (yea) yea (yea)
You know I'll always be your slave
Till I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh honey bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me yea
[[lyrics will be ready for posting soon]]
So you love the way he holds you in the night
And you believe him when he tells you
Everything's alright
But I wonder if you know
The nature of his game
And all the others he's been lovin' just the same
Yeah
[Chorus:]
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
It might as well be me
It might as well be me
Yeah
Promises and plans inside your head
As you sit alone and think of things he said
But of all the love you tell me
You know you've been tastin'
It's much more than all your time
I know you've been wastin' babe, yeah
[Chorus]
I hate to be the one to bring you down
But everybody's talking, it's all over town
The same old story
They tell me that's the way it goes
I'm the first to tell you, now
And, baby you're the last to know, yeah
[Chorus]
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born
Christ the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, loves pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
- written by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper
- lyrics as recorded by Otis Redding December 7, 1967, just three
days before his death in a plane crash outside Madison, Wisconsin
- #1 for 4 weeks in 1968
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
(whistle)
There's something missing here and you know it
So why deny what you've been going through
You felt it coming though you tried not to show it
Facing a price you can no longer pay
It's time for a change in the plans you had made
CHORUS
Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your lying
Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your crying
Before it's too late, breakaway
Now you've got everything his money could buy you
And his affection still won't satisfy you
You need much more than his world would deny you
Caught in a dream that could never be real
Accepting the things you can no longer feel
CHORUS
Caught in a dream that can never be real
Accepting the things you can no longer feel
CHORUS
You pull me in, then ya push me away
Ask me leave, then ya beg me to stay
Bend me baby, bend me till I break
Do you really wanna know how much
This heart of mine can take
When I find myself in a daze sometimes
Lovin' you has got me losin' my mind
[Chorus:]
Is it pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Ya make me smile
Make me thankful that I breathe
Let me taste some heaven
Before ya drop me to my knees
Ya chain me baby, till it's time to set me free
Give me everything I want
Give me nothin' that I need
Well I ask myself why I keep holdin' on
Lovin' you is just a weakness too strong
[Chorus]
I still don't understand why I can't resist
What keeps me comin' back, comin' back for more of this
Pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me runnin' to you
Pleasure or pain
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
Keeps me runnin', keeps me running to you
I just can't decide
Are they one and the same
It's confusing me blind
Am I in love or insane
Am I in it for the pleasure or pain
It's beautiful, your honesty
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear you heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me
It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love
[Chorus:]
Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you
It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me
It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love
[Chorus]
If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed
It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love
[Chorus 2x]
(from Puccini's 'La Boheme')
[Mimi and Rodolfo are getting acquainted fast. Outside, Rodolfo's friends call him to join them. He would rather stay with Mimi, but she shyly suggests they all go out together. 'Tell me you love me,' he pleads. She hold back, at first, but as this duet ends, they sing together for the first time and their first word is 'Love.']
Rodolfo:
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar,
in te ravviso il sogno
ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!
Mimi:
(Ah, tu sol comandi, amor!)
Roldolfo:
Fremon nell'anima
dolcezze esteme, (ecc)
Nel baccio freme amor!
Mimi:
(Oh come dolci scendono
le sue lusinghe al cor...
Tu sol comandi, amor!)
M: No per pieta!
R: Sei mia!
M: V'asepttan gli amici...
R: Gia mi mandi via?
M: Vorrei dir... ma non osso.
M: Se venissi con voi?
R: Che? Mimi!
Sarebbe cosi dolce restar qui.
C'e freddo fuori.
M: Vi staro vicina!
R: E al ritorno?
M: Curioso!
R: Dammi il braccio, o mia piccina...
M: Obbedisco, signor!
R: Che m'ami...di...
M: lo t'amo.
Rodolfo E Mimi:
Amor! Amor! Amor!
[Translation:]
Oh Sweet Little Lady
Rodolfo:
Oh! sweet little lady! Oh sweetest vision,
with moonlight bathing your pretty face!
The dream that I see in you
is the dream I'll always dream!
Mimi:
(Oh, you rule alone, Love!)
Rodolfo:
Deep in my soul trembles
the deepest of passions, etc.
Our kisses shudder with love!
Mimi:
(How gently now his words of praise
make their way into my heart...
You rule alone, oh love!)
M: No, I beg you!
R: You're mine now!
M: Your friends are still waiting.
R: So soon must I leave you?
M: I would like...I can't say it...
R: Speak!
M: What if I went along?
R: What? Mimi!
How sweet instead to stay behind here.
It's freezing outside.
M: I'd be right beside you!
R: What about later?
M: Who knows, sir?
R: Take my arm, my dear young lady...
M: As you say, my dear sir...
R: Do you love me, say!
M: I certainly do.
Rodolfo & Mimi:
Love! Love! Love!
Nessun Dorma! Nessun Dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa,
nella tua freda stanza
guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore
e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiusoin me,
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincero!
Vincero! Vincero!

Only the man who answers her riddles can marry the icy princess Turandot; those
who fail die. Calaf, a prince from another land, has fallen in love with the
beautiful Turandot and answered the riddles. Though by law she must marry him,
Turandot pleads to be spared: only if she answers his riddles-his name.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping!
This evening, icy princess
perhaps in your cold chambers,
watch all the bright stars
that tremble both with loving
and with desire
I keep my secret locked inside.
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no! When our two mouths
touch, she'll learn it,
when the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end! May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Lost in the city
I'm movin' around
To the sound of the song
I've been...living
High altitudes mixed
With wrong attitudes
Make me wonder
Just what I've been...giving
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I belong
Ooh ooh
Love can open the door
Through these eyes I see
And love has opened this heart
For me
See you, I see you fly high
All above all of this
Makes me miss home
And the freedom
I've known for so long
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I went wrong
Ooh ooh
It's not the tape this song is recorded on
It's not the way it ought to be done
It's not the words that the singer is singin'
It's not the way the music is played
I know it's nothin' new
'Cause it's all been done before
It's just a feelin' baby
A feelin', oh yeah, a feelin' baby
It's just a feelin'
That's all it's been
That's all it's ever been
It's not the things you say to me
When we're alone and the lights are low
It's not the smile on your face in the morning
Baby, that keeps me comin' home to you at night
Don't understand what it does
But your love comes shinin' through
It's just a feelin', baby
It's a feelin', oh
Oh, a feelin' baby
It's a feelin' that keeps me coming back
I want to tell you right now
Nothing is going to change, baby
When your love, your love comes through
It's just a feelin', baby
A feelin', oh, feelin' baby
Just a feelin' baby, ooh
It's just a feelin', it's just a feelin' baby
Joy to the world! The Lord has come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart, prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world
With truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders
Of His love
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love you
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Hey I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live in a time and place where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I can do
But I would
If I could
If I had my way
Fly into the air
You know I would
And if I had my way
Fly without a care
You know I would
And if I had your love
If I only had your love
There'd be no if I had's at all
If there was a road
Travel down that road
To get to you
If there was a mountain
You know I'd climb that mountain, too
'Cause if I had your love
If I only had your love
There's be no if I had's at all
If I had your love
If I only had your love
There'd be no if I had's at all
There'd be no if I had's at all
If I had your love
If I only had your love
If I had your love
If I only had your love
I was alone
My love was an endless night
You came to me
Lover you made it right
I understand sometimes
It may not show
So I'm taking the time
To let you know
[Chorus:]
I'm aware of your love [7x]
A heavy load
Upon me every day
But with your smile
You've taken it all away
I've never been a man
Of many words
But can't you see now
I'm trying to say
[Chorus]
You are the inspiration
Of every word I say
I swear sometimes I know
You try to give me death to pay
The way you hold me in the night
You make me feel all right
This is the only way
To tell you I'm trying
Baby I'm trying, I'm trying
I'm trying, I'm trying
[repeat 2x]
Don't you know, so many things they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Like the love I thought I found in you
And I remember the thunder,
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
[Chorus:]
I found someone, to take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feelin' since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Dry your eyes, I could never bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
Show ya the feelins' that ya never really knew
But baby don't ya lose that thunder
Talkin' 'bout that fire in your eyes
You're lookin' at me but ya don't believe
Now, maybe baby, maybe baby
[Chorus]
Too long on the borderline
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
That's when I realized, and I realized
[Chorus]
And baby, I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been livin' with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Take these tears, put 'em in a bottle. Don't let these tears I cry be in
vain.
Take these tears, keep them up in heaven. Water my life with tears like
rain
Hear me, hear my words unspoken, Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Take this life, turn it into something, I'm afraid it's just wasting time
Turn this life the sun has ripened, grow it slowly on the vine. Turn my
tears
into wine
Hear me, hear my words unspoken, Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Turn my tears into wine, turn these tears into wine. All there's left of me
are
traces. Make me stronger in my broken places
Hear me, hear my words unspoken, Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Turn these tears into wine, turn my tears into wine
Hear me...
(feat. Suzie Benson)
[Michael:]
You always said I'd never know how much I loved you
Until it was too late to make you stay
I know it looked as though I took our love for granted
That doesn't mean I wasn't feeling all the things
I meant to say
[Suzie:]
And who was I always asking so much of you
To make you prove your love time after time
Until I found myself living my life without you
How could I have been so foolish, how could
I be so blind
[Chorus]
[Michael & Suzie:]
From now on I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow
I don't want to wait until our time has come and gone
I'm gonna hold you now more than ever
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you, from now on
We both know it's true, when we're open to each other
There's a love we'll never find with someone else
And if we give it half a chance we'll be starting over
So let me make your heart believe what I've been
promising myself
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Baby, there'll be no distance between us
Oh, this time I know we're gonna make it
together where we belong
[Chorus]
How in the h*ll did this begin
Like some cruel game we can't seem to win
It just goes on over and over again
It took the best outta you and me
I thought we swore we'd let this love rest in peace
Am I wrong
Didn't we part as friends
How many lifetimes must we live through
Till we're lookin' through the eyes of the truth
[Chorus:]
We are joined at the soul
With a heart that don't know how to let go
What does it mean when it don't mean a thing
When we say good-bye
But if life is unkind
And forever ain't a place we can find
We'll know how we've tried
And that forever's just a matter of time
So much love, so much pain
No one to judge, no one to blame
It holds on
How desperate this need that remains
We know the passion that leads us blind
'Cause the two of us are one of a kind
[Chorus]
Time after time we stumble and fall
Past the point of no return
God knows we've given so much more than our all
To this lesson we may never learn
[Chorus]
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me, someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me, and somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me, and I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say: 'This is mine you can't take it'
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
Well it hurt enough
When you told me you were leaving
Did you have to go
And break this heart in two
By writing me a letter
I must have read a thousand times
Saying you'll be back
When I'm ready to spend
My life with you
And I'm not ready to settle down
But for you, maybe I would
But for you, maybe I could
So I find myself alone
By the beach where many nights we stood
And I think about this life
I really do live
But it's hard to change
A man like me
Who knows what he wants
And he knows what he sees
And someone like you
Will take all the love I've got to give
And I'm not ready to settle down
But for you maybe I would
But for you maybe I could
So a part of me says, boy
You're talkin' like a fool
When you've given all you've got
To give what they have
And it's hard to change
A man like me
Who knows what he wants
And he knows what he sees
But a love like this
May never come again I know
And I'm not ready to settle down
But for you maybe I would
But for you maybe I could
For you maybe, maybe, maybe I would
Maybe, maybe for you
Maybe I would
Maybe I could
Here I am, thinking of you
Things we say and things we do
Doesn't seem long ago
I was holding you so safe and warm
Suddenly my life is changed
And I find myself like a ship in a raging storm
I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now
[Chorus:]
Fighting for my life, fighting for my life
I'm back against the wall, fighting for my life
Fighting, fighting for my life
I recall, the days of my youth, my head in the air
My back to the truth
Runnin' from the good things I had
My hunger for a piece of the game
Now I find those days are gone
And I'm hanging' on
I know it can never be the same
I'm fighting to hold on, will you look at me now
Ooh yeah ooh oh yeah, baby ooh oh
I've been at the corner for the longest time
I have gone the distance with the will to survive
I tell you one thing, I can't always be right
Gonna live, gonna live every day like it's the last one I got
I'm fighting to hold on
[Chorus]
Fighting for my life, I'm fighting for my life
Everybody needs a reason
To make it through another day
And everybody needs a reason
Try and find another way
I've been up, I've been down
Seemed like one long, lonely ride
Wish I'd been usin', time I could be usin'
To learn about myself inside
That's not a hard thing to do
Everybody needs a reason
Doesn't matter who they are
And everybody needs a reason
To make it to the shootin' star
So many people, don't understand
Never live, but waiting to die
I wish I could reach them
I really wanna teach them
Something so good going on inside
Maybe they don't like it, maybe they do
This is the way, it's all coming true
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
Maybe things are changin'
I really don't know
Knowing things is helping to grow
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
[Repeat x3]
Dream little child, dream while you can
Dream my child, dream while you can
Of everything that I would dream
If I had the time, dream while you can
And fly little child, fly while you can
Fly my child, away while you can
Far out places and new born lands
Fly while you can
And be little child, be while you can
Be my child, free while you can
Anything that you wanna be
Well, it's in your hands
Be while you can
Dream little child, dream while you can
Dream my child, dream while you can
Of everything that I would dream
If I had the time, but dream while you can
Dream while you can
Fly away while you can
Be free while you can
Dream while you can, dream away
Dream away while you can
Fly away, fly away
While you can
Be free, be free
While you still can
Ooh, dream while you can
Fly away, dream while you can
One night, one empty room
One man getting over you
One star, one lonely moon
I make a wish I know will never come true
You'll call my name
And you'll beg me to hold you again
But the truth remains
And I'm only a fool who can't help but pretend
[Chorus:]
It's all over but I'm holding on
I can't let go till the love is gone
It's all over but I keep holding on
With a desperate heart
My desperate heart
Some nights I try in my mind
To see myself loving someone new
Still I know I'm wasting my time
No one can ever take the place of you
So I close my eyes
I swear I feel you here by my side
Bet it's all, it's only a lie
That I need to believe for my heart to survive
[Chorus]
All this time I've been drowning in hopeless illusion
I've been keeping inside
That someday you'll walk out of the shadows
And back into my life
[Chorus]
I can't believe your love for me is gone
Che gelida manina! Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova? Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna l'abbiiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina, le diro con due parole chi son,
chi son, e che faccio, come vivo, Vuole?
Chi son? Chi son? Son un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo. E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverta mia lieta scialo da gran signore
rimi ed inni d'amore.
Per sogni e per chimere e per castelli in aria
l'anima ho milionaria.
Talor del mio forziere ruban tutti
i gioielle due ladri: gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora ed i miei sogni usati,
ed i bei sogni miei tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora poiche,
poiche v'ha preso stanza la speranza.
Or che mi conoscete parlate voi.
Deh parlate. Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?
SYNOPSES
It is Christmas Eve on Paris' Left Bank. Rodolfo is at home writing when a
stranger knocks at the door. It is Mimi, a neighbor, who needs to borrow a match
to relight her candle. Mimi is barely out the door, when she realizes she has
lost her key. As they search for it, Rodolfos' hand falls upon hers.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
How cold your little hand is! Will you let me warm it for you?
Why bother looking? It's dark, and we won't find it.
It's our good luck, though, this night's filled with moonlight,
up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.
Please wait, my dear young lady, and I will quickly tell you
who stands before you, and what I do,
how I make my living. May I?
Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.
What keeps me busy? Writing! And what do I live on? Nothing!
In poverty I'm cheerful, I am a prince who squanders
arias and couplets of longing.
And as for hopes and dreams of love and castles-in-the-air,
Miss, I am a millionaire!
My fortress could be broken in, robbed clean of the fine jewels
I store; if the theives were eyes like yours.
And now that I have seen you, all of my lovely dreaming,
all of the sweetest dreams I've dreamt, quickly have slipped away.
This theft does not upset me, because such treasures
mean nothing now that I'm rich with sweet hope!
And now that you have met me, I ask you please,
Tell me, lady, who you are, I ask you please!
Celeste Aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci breeze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!

The Ethiopians have been defeated in battle. Aida, their princess, has been
enslaved by the victorious Egyptians, though her identity is not known to them.
The Egyptian General Radames falls in love with the beautiful Aida and dreams of
setting her upon a throne.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty,
garland of flowers and of bright light.
You are the ruler of all of my thoughts,
you are the splendor of my whole life.
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies
to the soft breezes of your native land.
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown,
and build you a throne close to the sun!
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold
A precious gem is what you are
A ray of hope, a shining star
You're as bright as the sunshine, morning's first light
You warm my day, brighten my night
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice
And you're daddy's little girl
A precious gem that's what you are
A ray of hope, a shining star
You're as bright as the sunshine, morning's first light
You warm my day and brighten my night
You're sugar, you're spice, you're everything nice
You and I sailed away to a place
We once called paradise
We were young and deep in our love
And we never needed lies
So here we stand face to face
Knowing we've drifted apart
As for myself, there'll be nobody else
Who'll ever touch this place in my heart
[Chorus:]
You just call my name
And I'll come runnin' for you in the night
Just call my name
And I'll come runnin' right back into your life
If you ever need my love, call my name
Will ya call the love we shared
Just a moment passing in time
It was a moment I can never forget
And a love that was so hard to find
There are no chains to hold you down
I told you a long time ago
If the time has come for movin' on
There's one thing I need you to know
[Chorus]
If you feel you need my love
And it's time we start over again
[Chorus]
Every time I think of you
My heart starts movin' like a freight train
And having you is tearing me apart
I don't really need the pain, no
Sometimes I feel like leavin' for good
But I'm a fool who wouldn't leave you
Even if I could
[Chorus:]
(Can't hold on, can't let go)
Can't hold on, can't let go
(Can't hold on, can't let go)
I can't hold on, I can't let go
Every time you touch me, well you know
I feel the blood rushing through my veins
Girl you mean so much to me, that's the reason
Why you're driving me insane
Ooh, every night I'm losin' too much sleep
I can't give up, 'cause now I'm in too deep with you
[Chorus]
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
I still don't know just what I'm going to do about you
Heart to heart, I'd never run away
It's time to part, but I can't say good-bye
I love you so much(can't hold on)
Need you so much(can't let go)
But you're tearing me apart(can't hold on)
oh(can't let go)can't let go
(Can't hold on)can't let go
(Can't let go)oh no no
I can't get you back, but I can't turn away from you
Our love is a fact
Though I've tried to deny it, like you wanted me to
I brake on the streets
The people they stop and stare
Was it only a dream, you said you must leave
So why do you follow me everywhere
I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell
[Chorus:]
Can't turn it off, can't turn it off, I said
I can't turn it off, why do you follow me
Can't turn it off, ya turned it on and now I
Can't turn it off
If I'm goin' down, I'm sure to go down in flames
I wait for your sound
I look for you now and I can't hold you to blame
I know you feel guilty, for things we've said and done
To you I'm a moment of fire in your life
But it's different for me, you're the only one
I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell
[Chorus]
The sound of your voice is all I can hear
I still see your face, it's all I can bear
Knowing wherever I run, you'll always be there
[Chorus]
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh at last, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I
Can call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless they love you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes - if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless they need you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would see
But if you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless they love you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would see
If you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you - all the way
All the way
Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this:
A kiss to build a dream on.
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part,
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
A thousand nights I have sworn not to stay, ooh oh
I remained tangles in the chains of desire, ooh
I know that it's no good
I shouldn't be here
I know I should leave you
CHORUS
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A hundred ways you have captured my soul
I can't hold on but I can't let go
Your spell on me is a spell I can't break, ooh oh
All my strength burning in the flames of desire, ooh
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna leave you
Don't know how to leave you
CHORUS
Wo, so strong, oh
I can't let go oh no
Wo, so strong, wo, so strong
'Cause you're a part of my soul
And I, can't escape you
No matter how hard I try
I can never be free
Of your hold on me
I can't let go
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
CHORUS
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography
don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I do know one and one is two
and if this one could be with you -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Now I don't claim to be an A student
but I'm trying to be.
For maybe by being an A student baby
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
. ..
History - biology - science book - French I took
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Oh yeah
Our love is like a holiday
I know that I let you down in the past
Cause I've got so many places to go
Girl I promise I'll be around give me a chance
Cause I'm singing for you wherever it show
(How can I)
How can it be
(How can I)
I've been so deep
(How can I)
It's hard to believe
This world brought you to me
(Brought you to me)
I've been to Paris, London, LA
I feel the tropical sun in my face
This Christmas we don't need to get away
Cause our love is like a holiday
I'm always calling from a different hotel room
And your voice makes me feel like home
Backstreet I'm waiting just thinking of you, of you
Just lying there sleeping alone
(How can I)
How can it be
(How can I)
I feel you creep into my every dream
I'm coming back on Christmas Eve (on Christmas Eve)
Girl I know you've been waiting for me for much too long
I thank you girl for holding on
Believe me when I tell you there's just one place I know I belong
Girl that's why I loved you to soul
I was standing in the moonlight
With my heart in my hands
Life had taken me full circle
And I was meant to love again
Playing all or nothing
I'd given up on love, yeah
Just when I thought
I'd never fall in love again
The bough of my heart opened
And you walked in
With those......
[Chorus:]
Forever eyes, looking right at me
Now I find myself believing
Love will always be
In your forever eyes
Never say good-bye
'Cause I only want to lose myself
In your forever eyes
There were times you'd see right through me
I'm a child in your hands
But the moment that you touch me
You set fire to this man
Burning inspiration
That's what I feel right now
Waves of emotion carry me along
Your love is like a river
Going on and on
In your....
[Chorus]
Forever eyes
[Chorus]
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep
Have faith in your dreams and some day
Your rainbow will come shinin' through
No matter how your heart if grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream that you wish will come true
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smilin' through
No matter how your heart is grievin'
If you keep on believin'
The dream that you wish will come true
Now it's ready or not
Boy, you better come on strong
Give it all you've got
'Cause they'll really turn the pressure on
And you find it strange
But it's so insane
When you know ya don't believe that
You're part of their game
The bell rings and you come out
Fightin' just the same, yeah
[Chorus:]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
It's alright, welcome to the world
Yeah
In the marketplace
Nobody's foolin' around
And ya keep the pace
Or they tell ya, buddy, please step down
There may be a smile
Or a shake of the hand
But it's policy to take you
Anyway they can
And it's everybody lookin' out
For number one, understand
[Chorus]
It's alright, welcome to the world
As I search this heart of mine
For words to tell you
If you give me time I swear
I'll find a way
How I've come to feel about you
I couldn't think of life without you
These words could never say
Like a fool I let my pride mislead me
In this world I call myself a man
But without your love to guide me
Who could ease the pain inside me
Somethin' only you could understand
[Chorus:]
Stay, please stay
Oh stay, please stay
'Cause I need you by my side
On this long and lonely ride
And there's so much I would give you
If you'd stay
So I search this heart of mine
For words to tell you
If you give me time I swear
I'll find a way
How I've come to feel about you
I couldn't think of life without you
What I'm feeling now
These words could never say
[Chorus]
Stay, please stay
Oh stay, please stay
Oh, I need you by my side
On this long and lonely ride
And there's so much I would give you
If you'd stay
There is so much I would give you
If you'd stay
I've got so much love to give you
If you'd stay
Please stay
And as I go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your warmth, I need your tender touch
I need the love you know that I mess so much
My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe
From this whole world I try to hide my face
But from this loneliness there is no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house I dwell
Here in the darkness, that I know so well
My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe
I need your love now more than before
I can hardly carry on anymore
My mind and soul have felt like this
Since love between us no more exists
I need your warmth, I need your tender touch
I need the love ya know I miss so much
My world is empty without you babe
My world is empty without you babe
We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was.... (fade)
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Ican't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here with me
Hey window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be
When we were together
Everything was so grand, yes it was
Now that we've parted
There's one sound that I just can't stand...
Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories, hey
I can't stand the rain, ooh
'Gainst my window, oh no no
'Cause he's not here with me, uh
Alone with the pillow uh uh
Where his head used to lay, yeah
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say, hey hey
Uh, uh, I can't stand the rain...
(I can't I can't I can't can't stand the rain)...
Baby, uh, uh, uh, hey hey

No no ooh oooohh hey hey hey hey hey, no
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum
Oohh !... Get off my window...

Get off my window now, get off my window
Get off my window nah, I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain, ooh, can't stand the rain, oh
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away
Here we are in the olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we will all be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Oh, oh, nowhere to run, I know
She's got the best of me, yeah
The deed is done, Heaven knows
Knows she wants the rest of me, oh
And it's much too late
I'm caught up in the fantasy, yeah
Oh, and there's no escape, no
My runnin' days are history
Gina, gina, girl I surrender
Gina, gina, I'm over my head
Gina, gina, say it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way and oh
I've been on the loose, so long
Love couldn't hold me down no
The flame in you was so strong
Girl you turned my heart around, yeah
Now I'm losin' sleep
Can't get you out of my head, no
Think I'm in too deep, yeah
I'm a slave to every word that you said
Gina, gina, girl I surrender
Gina, gina, there's no turning back
Gina, gina, say it's forever
Never been in love this way

Gina, gina, say it's forever
Never been in love this way
Never been in love this way
Gina, gina, I can't get you out of my head
Gina, gina, gina, gina, gina, say it's forever
Gina, gina, I can't get you out of my head
Gina, gina, gina, gina, gina say it's forever
Gina, gina, no turnin' no turnin' back
Gimme back my breath, gimme back my senses
Gimme back my life, all my second chances
If I'm gonna give my all, never be without you
Tell me will you catch my fall, cause I'm about to
[Chorus:]
Love is written on your face
Do you believe in what you've found
I'll be lost in time and space, until I hear that sound
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Gimme back my pride, take away this silence
Gimme back my faith, show me where this road ends
Take away my choice, deliver me forever
You can free me with your voice
Even if you whisper
[Chorus]
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Don't make me wait for it, you know I ache for it
Don't make me break down and walk away
Your eyes have said to me, walk to the ledge with me
We're on the edge baby, tell me what I need to know.
[Chorus]
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
I wanna hear you say
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
CHORUS
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
CHORUS
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
CHORUS
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you....But I lied
Recondita armonia di belleze diverse!...
E bruna Floria, l'ardente amante mia.
E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzuro hai l'occhio, Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
L'arte nel suo mistero le diverse belleze insiem confonde:
ma nel ritrar costei il mio solo pensiero,
ah! il mio solo pensier, sei tu, Tosca, sei tu!
SYNOPSES
Cavaradossi is working on a portrait of the Madonna for the church of Saint
Andrea. Though the painting closely resembles a beautiful parishioner there,
Cavaradossi explains that it is a combination of that woman, who he does not
know, and his own dark-haired, dark-eyed lover Floria Tosca.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
What strange and lovely harmony of such different beauties!
How dark is Floria, this ardent love of mine.
And you, mysterious beauty, long and blond flowing tresses
how your eyes are sky-blue, Tosca's eyes are black-night.
Art, too, with its many mysteries, blends all together
such different beauties. But though I paint another,
my only thought is you, oh, my only thought is you,
Tosca, is you, is you!
E lucevan le stelle,
e olezzava la terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto,
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia.
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente le belle forme discogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
L'ora e fuggita e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
SYNOPSES
The painter Cavaradossi has been sentenced to death for helping to hide an
escaped political prisoner. As he awaits his fate, he sings of the sweet
memories of his beloved Tosca and his dashed dreams.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
How the stars seemed to shimmer,
the sweet scents of the garden,
how the creaking gate whispered,
and a footstep skimmed over the sand,
how she then entered, so fragrant,
and then fell into my two arms!
Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses,
while I stood trembling, searching her features
concealed by her mantle. My dreams of pure love,
forgotten forever! All of it's gone now!
I die hopeless, despairing, and never before
have I loved life like this!
Gonna break these chains around me
Gonna learn to fly again
May be hard, may be hard
But I'll do it
When I'm back on my feet again
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Might take time, might take time
But I'll see it
When I'm back on my feet again
CHORUS:
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll walk proud down this street again
And they'll all look at me again
And they'll see that I'm strong
Gonna hear the children laughing
Gonna hear the voices sing
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I hear them
When I'm back on my feet again
Gonna feel the sweet light of heaven
Shining down its light on me
One sweet day, one sweet day
I will feel it
When I'm back on my feet again
CHORUS:
And I'm not gonna crawl again
I will learn to stand tall again
No I'm not gonna fall again
Cos I'll learn to be strong
Soon these tears will all be dryin'
Soon these eyes will see the sun
Won't be long, won't be long
Till I see it
When I'm back on my feet again
When I'm back on my feet again
I'll be back on my feet again
Can you hear me
Now I've found you
Standing there in the lonely night
Many times I
Tried to reach you
But you closed your doors
And you closed them tight
Come down before it's too late
Anyone can see you're just
Looking in your eyes
Tell me you're satisfied
With the price you must pay
Everyday, everyday
CHORUS:
Heart of stone
Heart of stone
You can't make it on your own
Heart of stone
Heart of stone
You can't make it all alone
Breaking this heart of stone
Are you dreaming lost forever
In the fantasy
That world of your own
Time is passing now or never
Can't you see you're
A long way from home
Wake up it's been too long
Won't you see that
It can't go wrong
Just can't understand why
You make it this way
Everyday, everyday
CHORUS:
Ever wonder whoever thinks it's right
To fill the empty
Place inside of you never do
Ever wonder when you're turning 'round
If everything you need to know
Is what you're learning from
It's to you, yeah, yeah
CHORUS:

Heart of stone
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
A thousand nights I have sworn not to stay, ooh oh
I remained tangles in the chains of desire, ooh
I know that it's no good
I shouldn't be here
I know I should leave you
CHORUS
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
No I shouldn't be so weak
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A hundred ways you have captured my soul
I can't hold on but I can't let go
Your spell on me is a spell I can't break, ooh oh
All my strength burning in the flames of desire, ooh
I don't wanna stay here
I don't wanna leave you
Don't know how to leave you
CHORUS
Wo, so strong, oh
I can't let go oh no
Wo, so strong, wo, so strong
'Cause you're a part of my soul
And I, can't escape you
No matter how hard I try
I can never be free
Of your hold on me
I can't let go
A hundred times I have walked out the door
Just to walk back a hundred times more
CHORUS
Shouldn't let you close to me
Shouldn't have this hold on me
But a heart can only be so strong
Every time I try to go
Just one look in your eyes I know
That a heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
A heart can only be so strong
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviours' birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its' worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
[Repeat]
When you just get love
And never give 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 made me 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 know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
It's too bad
It's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me
Then you snub me
Oh what can I do
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
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It stretches out across the hills
and streams, over every mountain high,
And turns the prairies into fields of dreams
When you reach for lofty places,when you soar through open spaces,
what your heart and soul embraces in the sky.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
It's standing tall for all to share wherever freedom flies.
(Something special in the air).
The spirit of American, the spirit of the skies.
That's where freedom flies.
Chorus:
Darling, you send me
I know you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Darling, you thrill me
I know you thrill me
Darling, you thrill me
Honest you do, honest you do
At first I thought it was just infatuation
But oh, it's lasted for so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you
To take you home, wo
Chorus:
Darling, you send me
I know you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest you do, honest you do
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you
To take you home, wo
Chorus:
Darling, you send me
I know you send me
Darling, you send me
If you need me, know I'll soon be with you
Just call me, I'll give you all the love
I can give you
Didn't you see the look on my face today
You know I'll always be your slave
[Chorus:]
You mean more to me
Than I ever thought anyone would
You mean more to me
Than I ever thought anyone could
And when you look into my eyes
You know I'll love you all my life
Gonna love you all my life
My love for you is filling up my days
You know you shine on me in oh, so many ways
I guess I'm only trying to say
My heart is yours and yours to stay
[Chorus]
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
[Chorus:]
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I miss you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
[Chorus]
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all my dreams:
[Chorus]
Take these tears,
put em in a bottle.
Don’t let these tears I cry be in vain.
Take these tears,
keep them up in heaven.
Water my life with tears like rain
Hear me,
hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hopin’
Hear me,
I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Take this life,
turn it into something,
I’m afraid it’s just wasting time
Turn this life the sun has ripened,
grow it slowly on the vine.
Turn my tears into wine
Turn my tears into wine,
turn these tears into wine
All that’s left of me are traces.
Make me stronger in my broken places
[[lyrics will be ready for posting soon]]
It's over now, gotta face it one last time
We'll never make it work, heaven knows we tried
Living this life, holdin' on for so long
I know it won't be easy, but it's time to be strong
[Chorus:]
Walk away, walk away
Don't you wait a minute longer
Walk away from the love we know is wrong
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now, before my heart won't let you
Walk away
You and I, never wanted it to end
Just have to find a way, to start livin' again
Oh, love of my life, I don't want to let you go
Leave behind the memories, a forever that we'll never know
[Chorus]
Ya know we can't go on, ya know the reason why
That don't make it any easier, when it comes to saying
Good-bye
Walk away, walk away
Do it now while I can find the strength to say
Leave me now
Before my heart won't let you...
[Chorus]
Feelin' better, now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
But now I see how you really are
[Chorus:]
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I'm gonna tell you again
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
I broke her heart, gentle and true
I broke her heart, over someone like you
I'll beg forgiveness, on bended knee
But I won't blame her, if she says to me
[Chorus]
I'm tellin' you now baby
That I'm going my way
Forget about you baby
I'm on my way
[Chorus]
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, baby you're no good
Baby, oh baby, you're no good
You're no good, you're no good
Oh will someone tell me
What it is I feel
Whatever it is
I know it can't be real
'Cause your love
Is turning me around
I know I'm lost
But I don't wanna be found
Oh, no, I don't believe in love
Honey, I don't believe in love
If I was wise, I'd be on my way
I wanna leave, but I know
I'm gonna stay
'Cause your love is making me lazy
Come on inside, darlin'
Drive me crazy
Oh, no, I don't believe it
I don't believe in love
Honey, I don't believe in love
Is it right, baby, is it wrong
All I know is what I've been hearing so long
I got this feeling and it's much too strong
Baby, it's much too strong
Much too strong
You're everything I ever would need
But what are you doing mama, let me be
'Cause your love is burning like fire
You are my one and only desire
Oh, I don't believe it, I don't believe it
I said, I don't believe in love
Oh, 'cause your love is much too strong
'Cause your love is much too strong
I don't believe it, I don't believe in love
I don't believe it, just don't believe in love
I've been thinking about the night
We held each other so close
Had the words locked up inside
We finally let them go
And how we promised together
Forever that we'd never fall
Oh, with a passion that felt so right
Deep in our restless hearts
Nothing breaks the ties
If only love survives
You put your faith in me, now I believe
You're all that I need
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold on to me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
The shelter in my life
The air that I can breathe
You're all that I need
Through the years you've loved one man
And always let me know
Found the strength to understand
It's been no easy road
You've never given up
Can't live without your love
I'll put my heart of the line
Until you believe
You're all that I need,
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold onto me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
We'll run with a dream, run forever girl
Till we reach the other side
You're all that I need
I can face the fire
When you stand beside me
You keep my heart inspired
The way you believe
You're all that I need
In this crazy world
You're my peace of mind
Just hold onto me, we can make it girl
Through the troubled times
We'll run with a dream
Run forever girl
Till we reach the other side
You're all that I need
You're all that I need
Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festosee giovani
Invidiar sembro.
Che piu cercando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.
Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo.
SYNOPSES
Nemorino is in love with a wealthy girl, but she says she isn't interested in
poor boys like him. Desperate, he buys a Love potion that only turns out to be
cheap red wine. And yet, Nemorino believes the Elixir will work. When he sees
her cry, he knows she has fallen for him at last.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
One tear that falls so furtively
from her sweet eyes has just sprung,
as if she envied all the youths
who laughingly passed her right by.
What could I want more than this?
She loves me! I see it.
One moment just to hear her heart,
beating so close next to mine,
to hear my sighs like they were hers,
her sighings as if they were mine!
Heavens, please take me now:
All that I wanted is mine now!
