Plot
In 1938 mixed race baby Shirley Bassey,her mother and eight siblings are living in a poor area of Cardiff after her father is imprisoned for sexual offences. The teen-aged Shirley will help the family finances bringing her big,impassioned singing voice to local clubs and,in 1954,aged seventeen,she moves to London,impressing agent Mike Sullivan. To further her career however she must give up her illegitimate daughter Sharon to be raised as her own child by Shirley's sister Iris. After winning over the famously hostile Glasgow Empire audience Shirley has arrived. Impresario Jack Hylton stars her in the West End and she has hit records. She rides out gutter press interest in Sharon and,after a row with Mike,takes fledgling film producer Kenneth Hume as her agent and husband. Not only does he fail to further her career but turns out to be a homosexual. Yet Shirley is a born survivor,weathering her divorce from Ken in 1965 and,decades later,still every inch a star,belting out the autobiographical song 'My Life'.

Dame Shirley Bassey, DBE (born 8 January 1937), is a Welsh singer. She found fame in the mid-1950s and was "one of the most popular female vocalists in Britain during the last half of the 20th century". In the US, in particular, she is best known for recording the theme songs to the James Bond films Goldfinger (1964), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), and Moonraker (1979) and is the only artist to record more than one Bond theme song. Bassey is also a UNESCO Artist for Peace.
"Born above a brothel in a docklands slum", Shirley Veronica Bassey was the sixth and last child of Eliza Jane Start and Henry Bassey in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, Wales (now called Cardiff Bay), of paternal Nigerian and maternal English descent. Bassey's mother also had four children from previous relationships, two of whom lived in the Bassey household. Eliza had married previously, to Alfred Metcalfe, and upon her marriage to Bassey, Eliza Jane Metcalfe listed Alfred Metcalfe as her father on the marriage registry. It has thus been theorized that she never divorced Alfred, and that her marriage to Bassey was bigamous. Eliza and Henry's second child died in infancy, so Shirley was born into a household of three sisters, two half-sisters, and one brother. A year later her father was arrested and charged with having sex with a minor, was tried, imprisoned for five years, then deported. After Henry's arrest, Eliza and the children moved to the nearby steelworking district of Splott.
Remember
Why must I remember
Why can't I simply close my eyes, go to sleep
And make him disappear
Why must I always hear
Dio come ti-amo
Those were the words he said
Oh god how much I love you
It still runs through my head
The wind began to blow
And all the leaves were flying
He stood there in the night
And tried to keep from crying
What could I have told him
What could I say of you
When love has lost it's meaning
It's over, it's through
And so I hurried on
For someone new was waiting
To hold me in his arms
In endless celebrating
But that was long ago
And many loves have I
But only one was real
And that I let slip by
Dio come ti-amo
I still can hear him say
Oh god how much I love you
Yet I walked away
I know, it's much to late
But I go right on praying
To have you back again
So you can hear me saying
Dio come ti-amo
Oh god how much I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Where are you? Why do you hide?
Where is that moonlight trail that leads to your side?
Just like the Moonraker goes in search of his dream of gold,
I search for love, for someone to have and hold,
I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
Felt your touch and it always seems,
You love me,
You love me.
Where are you? When will we meet?
Take my unfinished life and make it complete.
Just like the Moonraker knows his dream will come true someday,
I know that you are only a kiss away.
I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
Felt your touch and it always seems,
You love me,
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
How insensitive I must have seemed
when she told me that she loved me.
How unmoved and cold I must have seemed
when she told me so sincerely.
Why,she must have asked, did I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say? What can you say
when a love affair is over?
Now she's gone away and I'm alone
with the memory of her last look.
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still,
all her heartbreak in that last look.
How, she must have asked, could I just turn
and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do? What can one do
when a love affair is over?
Far away a voice is calling
Bells of memory chime
Come home again,come home again
They call through the oceans of time
We'll keep a welcome in the hillside
We'll keep a welcome in the Vales
This land you knew will still be singing
When you come home again to Wales
This land of song will keep a welcome
And with a love that never fails
We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth
When you come home again to Wales
The choir alone:
We'll keep a welcome in the hillside
We'll keep a welcome in the Vales
This land you knew will still be singing
When you come home again to Wales
Shirley Bassey together with the choir:
This land of song will keep a welcome
And with a love that never fails
We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth
When you come home again to Wales
We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth
When you come home again to Wales
Volverás,
yo sé que pronto volverás,
no hay razón
que pueda con el corazón.
Buscarás,
mis besos siempre buscarás,
la ilusión
con otro amor no encontrarás.
Hay una verdad
que hoy nos tiene mal;
nada cambió en mí,
nada cambió en ti.
Volverás a mí,
otra vez, no podrás olvidar mi amor
y volverás a mí
otra vez y podrás consolar tu dolor.
Volverás...
Volverás,
yo sé que pronto volverás
y estaré con ansias esperándote.
Me amarás,
igual que antes me amarás;
te amaré,
igual que antes te amaré.
Hay una verdad
Que hoy nos tiene mal;
nada cambió en mí,
nada cambió en ti.
Volverás a mí
otra vez, no podrás olvidar mi amor
y volverás a mí
otra vez y podrás consolar tu dolor.
fading down:
Volverás a mí
otra vez, no podrás olvidar mi amor
y volverás a mí...

Viniste a mí,
estoy ciega desde que te vi.
Y sigo así,
ya estoy casi como enferma así.
O aunque gritará
la voz de un torpe insultándome.
Viviré con ese lastre
y si llega el desgaste
ya veré...
Pues no hay vallas,
sigo mis instintos, y sin vallas
es mi amor distinto y no hay vallas,
vallas
para mí.
Con mi actitud
yo sé que montañas moveré,
tomé tu luz
y ya sin penas siempre te amaré.
Y puedo soportar
las ansias que se vienen a esconder.
Mi fe existe mientras yo resista el pecado,
tú también...
Pues no hay vallas,
sigo mis instintos, y sin vallas
es mi amor distinto y no hay vallas,
vallas
para mí.
Y todos hablarán,
y todos juzgarán;
Y siempre nos darán batalla,
y venceré las vallas...
Sigo mis instintos, y sin vallas
es mi amor distinto y no hay vallas,
vallas...
Pues no hay vallas,
sigo mis instintos, y sin vallas
es mi amor distinto y no hay vallas,
vallas
para mí.
repeat until end:
Pues no hay vallas,
sigo mis instintos, y sin vallas
es mi amor distinto y no hay vallas,
vallas.
When I arrive tomorrow morning
I want the music to be there
I want the bands out playing
Right across the square
The sun will shine tomorrow morning
He'd never dare to let me down
Send up a rocket saying
Shirley's back in town
Hey, now you can say I'm on my way
Hey, better get ready for today(??)
If I survive tomorrow morning
There'll be a great tomorrow night
No need to buy the candles
Shirley's all the light
Roll on tomorrow morning
Bad old days good night
I want the flats out flying
High across the square
Make it a better headline
Shirley's back in town
Hey, now you can say I'm on my way
Hey, better get ready for today(??)
If I survive tomorrow morning
There'll be a great tomorrow night
No need to hold the horses
Shirley's riding high
Roll on tomorrow morning
Here comes tomorrow morning
Bad old days bye bye
Good bye
Good bye
I know how it feels to be loved by a man
And it's wonderful
Yes, it's wonderful
I know how it feels to have someone who cares
And it's wonderful
Yes, it's wonderful
Just to be told, you are his dearest
You are the one he wants to be nearest
And you're all the way(??) that you're locked in his heart
Just to be told, don't ever leave me
I couldn't bear if you deceive me
And how he's lost when we are apart
I know how it feels to be loved by a man
And it's wonderful
Yes, it's wonderful
Shirley Bassey:
Thought I'd ring you
And tell you I'm in town
Hope to see you
Yes, dinner would be fine
Do you remember
When you and I first met?
I know I do
Do You?
Alain Delon:
Oh non, je n'ai rien oublié
Oh no, I haven't forgot
Rien oublié de cette étrange fille
Anything of this strange life
Qui est venue traverser ma vie et ma ville
That came to cross my life and my town
Rien oublié non plus de cette drôle de nuit
Anything either of this odd night
Dans nous sommes sortis, je crois
After which we became, I think
Amis?
Friends?
Shirley Bassey:
Lost and confused
Whatever could I do
Nothing to lose
Oh, don't you see I trust in you?
Caught in the rain on such a sunny day
Caught in the rain on such a special day with you
Nice to see you
You've hardly changed, it's true
A little older
But time 's been kind to you
Do you remember a very special night
You know I do
Do you?
Alain Delon:
Oh oui, tu as bien fais d'appeler
Oh yes, you did right to call
Moi, moi je suis bouleversé
I, I am confused
Ça m'a complètement surpris, tu sais
It completely moved me, you know
De te voir à Paris, no je n'ai pas oublié encore
To see you in Paris, no I haven't forgot yet
Ni le bain de la fontaine, ni la robe collée sur ton corps
Either the bath in the fountain, or the dress clinging on your body
Ni les mots du poème, comment pourrai-je oublier?
Or the words of the poem, how could I forget?

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding, understanding anyway
We're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over, but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear every time I see your eyes
No matter how hard I try
To understand the reasons why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
Masquerade
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
But I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
But never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
But I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
But I'm your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
About the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
The power of love
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up
The masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid
The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right
Just being with him
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your makeup
The party's over
It's all over
My friend
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right
Just being with him
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your makeup
The party's over
It's all over
My friend
Sing a song of sad young men, glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men, sitting in the bars
Knowing neon nights, and missing all the stars
All the sad young men, drifting through the town
Drinking up the night, trying not to drown
All the sad young men, singing in the cold
Trying to forget, that they're growing old
All the sad young men, choking on their youth
Trying to be brave, running from the truth
Autumn turns the leaves to gold, slowly dies the heart
Sad young men are growing old, that's the cruelest part
All the sad young men, seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold, for just a little while
Tired little girl, does the best she can
Trying to be gay, for a sad young men
While a grimy moon, watches from above
All the sad young men, who play at making love
Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light guide them home again
All the sad, sad, sad, young men
Sometimes, not often enough We reflect upon the good things And those thoughts always center around those we love
And I think about those people
Who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me
So very happy
And I count the times I have forgotten to say
Thank you
And just how much I love them
And I think about those people
Who mean so much to me
And for so many years have made me
So very happy
And I count the times I have forgotten to say
Thank you
And just how much I love them
And just how much I need them
And just how much I love them
Someday
Rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay
Safely behind what we're keeping
You'll seem
Warmer than I had remembered you
Lying so close
I'll be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave
One day
When I am able to love you
I'll come
Back from wherever I've been to
I'll see you
Looking the same as you always have
Lovely, so lovely, I'll cling
To the love you give
So I'll start to live
Someday is coming
If I believe it
Someday always brings
The good life you knew
Ever back to you
How I need you
Someday
All I can give you is someday
Someday
All I can offer is someday
Please say
That you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss
To keep what you are
Always close to me
Ooh I need you
Someday
All I can give you is someday
Someday
All I can offer is someday
Please say
That you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss
To keep what you are
Always close to me
Someday
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And Solitaire 's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without a (her??) love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing
And Solitaire 's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without a (her??) love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Solitaire 's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
Work all day as men who know
Wheels must turn to keep the flow
Build on up, don't break the chain
Sparks will fly when the whistle blows
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Work to the rhythm, live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, slave to the rhythm
Axe to wood in ancient times
Man machine, power line
Fires burn, hearts beat strong
Sing out loud the chain gang song
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Breathe to the rhythm, dance to the rhythm
Work to the rhythm, live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, be slave the rhythm
This is my life, and I am what I am
Slave to the rhythm, and you walk to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, slave to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, be a slave to the rhythm
(keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up)
No olvidé aquella tarde
que tal vez fui muy cobarde
porque sé que provoqué aquel adiós;
y en tu mirada la tristeza se notó...
se notó.
Te dejé y lo deploro,
te ignoré y vez que hoy lloro
porque sé que nunca tuve la razón,
y es justo que hoy te hable con el corazón...
mi corazón.
No es vivir
si ya no es contigo,
no es vivir
si no es con tu amor.
No es vivir
si ya no es contigo,
no es vivir
si no es con tu amor.
No olvidé aquella tarde
que tal vez fui muy cobarde
porque sé que provoqué aquel adiós;
y en tu mirada la tristeza se notó...
se notó.
No es vivir
si ya no es contigo,
no es vivir
si no es con tu amor.
No es vivir
si ya no es contigo,
no es vivir
si no es con tu amor.
No es vivir...
No es vivir...
Sin tu amor.
The word is about, there's something evolving
Whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here
That the revolution's near
But to me it seems quite clear
That it's all just a little bit of history repeating
The newspapers shout a new style is growing
But it don't know if it's coming or going
There is fashion, there is fad
Some is good, some is bad
And the joke is rather sad
That its all just a little bit of history repeating
And I've seen it before
And I'll see it again
Yes I've seen it before
Just little bits of history repeating
Some people don't dance, if they don't know who's singing
Why ask your head, it's your hips that are swinging
Life's for us to enjoy
Woman, man, girl and boy
Feel the pain, feel the joy
And side step the little bits of history repeating
Just little bits of history repeating
And I've seen it before
And I'll see it again
Yes I've seen it before
Just little bits of history repeating
He's out of my life
He's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think the two years he was here
And I took him for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
He's out of my hands
So I've learned that loves not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
And he's out of my life
He's out of my life
Damned in decision and cursed pride
I kept my love for him locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
He's out of my life
The word is about, there's something evolving
Whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here
That the revolution's near
But to me it seems quite clear
That it's all just a little bit of history repeating

Just little bits of history repeating
And I've seen it before

You think that I can't live without your love
You'll see,
You think I can't go on another day
You think I have nothing
Without you by my side
You'll see
Somehow, some way
You think that I can never laugh again
You'll see
You think that you destroyed my faith in love
You think after all you've done
I'll never find my way back home
You'll see
Somehow, someday
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive
All on my own
I don't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
You think that you are strong, but you are weak
You'll see
It takes more strength to cry, admit defeat
I have truth on my side
You only have deceit
You'll see
Somehow, someday
All by myself
I don't need anyone at all
I know I'll survive
I know I'll stay alive
I'll stand on my own
I won't need anyone this time
It will be mine
No one can take it from me
You'll see
Somehow, someway
You'll see
When you smile I can see you were born, born for me
And for me you will be do or die
Oh, baby let me hold you
You make me want to hold you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
When you smile I can see there is hope
Hope for me and for you
If you know what I mean
I'm gonna sock it to you
I'm gonna rock it to you
Ev'ry time, time, time, time, time
When you smile, I can see
You and me, me and you
There is love in your eyes
When you smile
Oh, baby let me love you
You gotta let me love you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
La la la, la la la, ...
When you smile I can see you were born, born for me
And for me you will be do or die
Oh, baby let me hold you
You make me want to hold you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
La la la, la la la, ...
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay
For yesterday....
when I was young
Yesterday when i was young
so many lovely songs were waiting
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
Yesterday when i was young
so many lovely songs were waiting
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
Yesterday when i was young
so many lovely songs were waiting
You are what you are
It was, what it was
The world didn't end
The world never does
I wake up alive
From habit I guess
Yes, I can survive, one love more or less
And sometime, somewhere, somehow
I laugh all my laughter
I've cried my tears now
I want my years now
My years
I've nowhere to go
That I have to be
There's no one I know
Who's waiting for me
There's so much inside
I still have to give
So much to be tried
A life time to live
And sometime, somewhere, somehow
I'll have my tomorrow
Today won't stop me
No way to stop me
Not now
The world still holds me
I want what's due now
If not with you now
Then someone, sometime, somehow
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why he had to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why he had to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Oh, I believe in yesterday
There's a dream
I feel, so rare, so real
All the world in union
The world as one
Gathering together
One mind, one heart
Every creed, every colour
Once joined, never apart
Searching for the best in me
I will find what I can be
If I win, lose or draw
It's a victory for all
It's the world in union
The world as one
As we climb to reach our destiny
A new age has begun
We face high mountains
Must cross rough seas
We must take our place in history
And live with dignity
It's the world in union
The world as one
As we climb to reach our destiny
A new age has begun
Build a world
A world in union
A new age has begun
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
You said you'd give to me, soon as you were free
Will it ever be?
Where is the love?
You told me that you didn't love her, and you were gonna say goodbye
But if you really didn't mean it, why did you have to lie?
Where is the love?
You said was mine all mine, till the end of time
Was it just a lie?
Where is the love?
If you have had a sudden change of heart, I wish that you would tell me so
Don't leave me hangin on to promises
You've got to let me know
Oh how I wish I never met you
I guess it must have been my fate, to fall in love with someone else's love
All I can do is wait
Where is the love?
You said was mine all mine, till the end of time
Was it just a lie?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
What now my love?
Now that you've left me
How can I live
Through another day?
Watching my dreams
Turning to ashes
And my hopes
Into bits of clay
Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I'm numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night
Without a goal
Stripped of my heart
My soul
What now my love?
Now that it's over
I feel the world
Closing in on me
Here come the stars
Tumbling around me
There's the sky
Where the sea should be
What now my love?
Now that you're gone
I'd be a fool
To go on and on
No one would care
No one would cry
If I should live
Or die
What now my love?
Now there is nothing
Only my last
Good-bye
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one, with nothing to give you but oh
I love you
You, you buy her diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear, when I say
That she can give you the world
(sometimes: That you can give her the world)
But she'll never love you the way
I love you
You can take her any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it is I
Who love you
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever, when love must die?
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I've wondered when, we're ever gonna change
Living under the fear, till nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
Looking for something
We can rely on
There's gotta be something better out there
Love and compassion
That day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when, we're ever gonna change
Living under the fear, till nothing else remains
All the children say
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
So what do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a light
Or end in the dark
Is it all or nothing
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome
He was beautiful
Beautiful to my eyes
From the moment I saw him
The sun filled the sky
He was so, so beautiful
Beautiful just to hold
In my dreams he was springtime
Winter was cold
How could I tell him
What I so clearly could see
Though I longed for him
Another ...
Trusted me completely, so I never could be free
It was beautiful
Knowing now that he cares
I will always remember moments we shared
Now it's all over
Still the feelings ling' on
For my dream keeps returning
Now that he's gone
For it was beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful to be loved
In the bustle of today
We're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, a kiss
When a woman loves a man,
He's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be
If he just realize
She may be weary
Women do got weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's the waiting
Just anticipating
Though she may never possess
While she's without man
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Woman don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
Its oh so easy
Try a little tenderness
Its oh so easy
Try a little tenderness
Its oh so easy
Try a little tenderness
Till the moon deserts the sky
Till all the seas run dry
Till then I'll worship you
Till the tropic sun grows (turns) cold
Till this young world grows old
My darling, I'll adore you
You are my reason to live
All I own I would give
Just to have you adore me
Till the rivers flow upstream
Till lovers cease to dream
Till then I'm yours, be mine
You are my reason to live
All I own I would give
Just to have you adore me
Till the rivers flow upstream
Till lovers cease to dream
Till then I'm yours, be mine
I know it's late,I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So that there it is
We've got it all now
And here we are
What do you say?
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
As longs as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As longs as he needs me
As long as life is long
I'll love him, right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me
If you are lonely then you will know
When someone needs you you love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As longs as he needs me
If you are lonely then you will know
When someone needs you you love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As longs as he needs me
I believe, that children are the future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how it used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
Never found anyone who fulfilled that need
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at least I'll live as I believe
And no matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all
I believe, that children are the future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how it used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at least I'll live as I believe
And no matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Day after day
Fool on the hill
Day after day
Fool on the hill
Day after day
Fool on the hill
Day after day after day after day after day
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
and never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things
to say?
And since you know we're always changing
how can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
you're sure your heart will fall apart
each time you hear his name?
I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
that in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes
With any luck than I suppose
The music never ends
I know, the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
that in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes
With any luck than I suppose
The music never ends
The Liquidator
Will soon be coming around
You won't feel safer
Until you get out of town
He's an eraser
He'll rub you out like a light
And for a chaser
He'll kiss your woman good-night
He's a jackal and a Romeo, you know
The devil in disguise
There's no telling where a girl would go, you know
To gaze into his eyes
With the snapping of the fingertips of him
He'll take your life away
And a whisper from the smiling lips of him
Will take your wife away
The Liquidator
Will soon be getting to you
You'll wake up later
Somewhere up in the blue
The undertaker
Would never try to deny
That the Liquidator
Is a hell of a guy
The Liquidator
Baby
Morning's just a moment away
And I'm without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now
We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
Remembering the pain, if I must stay
It's deep in my mind, and locked away
But then most of all
I Do Love You
Still
Memories
Times I'm sure, will never forget
Those feelings we can't put aside
For what we had
Sometimes I try to understand
But it's so heavy on my mind
So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didn't say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Where'd we go?
Lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I Do Love You
Still
We played the games that people play
We made mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
'Cause I needed you so desperately
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you
Still
What goes up must come down
Spinning wheel got to go around
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel spin
You got no money, you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking about your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel turn
Did you find (the) directing sign on the straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel, spinning true
Drop all your troubles on the riverside
Catch a painted pony, let the spinning wheel fly
Did you find (the) directing sign on the straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinning wheel, spinning true
Drop all your troubles on the riverside
Catch a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly
What do I have to do to make you love me?
What do I have to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I awake to find that you're not there?
What do I do to make you want me?
What do I have to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talking over?
Always seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talking over?
Always seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I have to do to make you love me?
What do I have to do to be heard?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
What do I have to do?
What do I have to do?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word
Something in the way he moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way he moves me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
Somewhere in his smile he knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in his style that shows me
Don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way he moves
And all I have to do is think of him
Something in the things he shows me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he knows
Something in the way he smiles
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he smiles
Something
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way I do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so, by the way, I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for
For good times, and bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for
Shirley doesn't feel too happy
Shirley doesn't feel to gay
Something has been worrying Shirley
For many a lonely day
Shirley wakes up to early
Future looking so dim
'Cause someone doesn't love Shirley
The way that she loves him
Shirley wakes up to early
Future looking so dim
'Cause someone doesn't love Shirley
The way that she loves him
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
And you in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around
One who can't move
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns
Just when I stopped
Opening doors
Finally knowing the one
That I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again
With my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there
Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you want what I want
Sorry, my dear
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bother
They're here
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well maybe
Next year
(with English translation)

Little boy lost
In search of little boy found
You go a wondering, wandering, stumbling, tumbling
'Round... 'round...
When will you find
What's on the tip of your mind
Why are you blind
To all you ever would
Never would
Really are
Nearly are
Little boy false
In search of little boy true
Will you be ever done
Traveling
Always unraveling
You ... you
Running away
Could lead you farther astray
And as for fishing in streams
For pieces of dreams
Those pieces will never fit
What is the sense of it
Little boy blue
Don't let your little sheep roam
It's time come blow your horn
Meet the morn
Look and see
Can you be
Far from home?
I may get along, when love is gone
Still you made your mark, here in my heart
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
I followed the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
My life again
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends
One day I'll fly away
(Fly away)

Shirley
Do you own a Ferrari?
Do you live in a wonderful place?
And the smile on your face
Is of joyful laughter, happy ever after
(Shirley Bassey:)
Yes, I own a Ferrari
Yes, my life is your dream
And I live in a wonderful place
And the smile on my face
Is not sycophantic
I'm just a true romantic
How about you?
What is so wrong
With a heart with a dream
A soul without hope
Is a terrible scene
Deep in the coldest and darkest of nights
I hang on to my dream
Keep it locked in my sights
What is so wrong
With a heart with a dream
A soul without hope
Is a terrible scene
Deep in the coldest and darkest of nights
I hang on to my dream
Keep it locked in my sights
(Chris Rea:)
Shirley, do you own a Ferrari?
Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the ouside looking in
Maybe that is why I see the funny side
When I see your fallen brother take a bride
Weddings make a lot of people sad
But If you're not the groom, they're not so bad
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really killing, that he's so willing to make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring
He's washing dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring
He's washing dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks
That's what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
For makin' whoopee
For makin' whoopee
So don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Boy, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love becomes a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Come on baby, light my fire
I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
It's all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And now, I want to spend my life with you
Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
And I'll never ever be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you forever
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just can't see
But you'll never do that to me
Being around you is all I see
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you, whether -
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you, whether -
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Good or bad, happy or sad
Let's, let's stay together
I know your leaving's too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane
Fade off west of moon
Then it felt so strange to walk away alone
No regrets
No tears goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
The hours that were yours, echo like empty rooms
But the thoughts we used to share
Now I keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
Then it felt so strange to lie awake alone
No regrets
No tears, goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
All friends have tried to turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place
Can't keep the goss away
But just beyond the darkest hour
Just behind the dawn
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone
No regrets
No tears, goodbye
Don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
I'd like to play a little game with you
A little game especially made for two
If you come close then I will show you how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
We've never played this little game before
If you relax then you'll enjoy it more
Just settle down and let me teach you how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(But, honey, honey, don't stop)
You kiss so well my lips begin to burn
And I can tell I've got a lot to learn
So hold me close and darling show me how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(Don't care even if I blow my top)
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(Never stop)
The world is cold, the night is still
The dream is old, and saws a thrill
Some cool DJ, begins to play, a Wes Montgomerys score
When you're all alone
It's always 4 a.m.
It had to last, it would go on
But once it's passed, it's passed and gone
You just pretend, it didn't end
But make believe the blower
When you're all alone
It's always 4 a.m.
Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings
That needed bit of slumber
The phone then rings, your pour heart sings
You left the phone, wrong number
The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze
But still it's night, there are no days
And worst of all, right down the hall
There's laughter through the door
When you're all alone
It's always 4 a.m.
Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings
That needed bit of slumber
The phone then rings, your pour heart sings
You left the phone, wrong number
The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze
But still it's night, there are no days
And worst of all, right down the hall
There's laughter through the door
When you're all alone
It's always 4 a.m.
When you're all alone
It's always 4 a.m.
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
I know, I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see
There's nothing else for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him"
My heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end
And that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
If you go away, on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning till
You return again, if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till the next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the world goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Why, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't, don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you're mad get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
But I'm alone like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Even in your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
You're wondring on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise
I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise
I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try and see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces
It's my life and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this Mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I'm traveled so far
To change my lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change my lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
(Fading down)
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
In my heyday
Young men wrote to me
Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me
Everyone I saw all swore they knew me
Once upon a song
Main attraction, couldn't buy a seat
The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet
I've had every accolade bestowed on me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It wouldn't bother me
I had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by, but I'm not sure how
Always posing, but you love it all
Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all
Everything I did the world applauded
Once upon a star
Framed citations, hung on every wall
Got a scrapbook full of quotes, I can recall them all
There were times I felt the world belonged to me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It wouldn't bother me
I had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by, but I'm not sure how
But I'm not sure how
But I'm not sure how
Beware the man, and his dangerous smile
You'll understand, if you happened to know him a while
If you're a thorn in his sight
He kills everything you love
Beware the man, he's colder than ice
You'll understand, for his power he'll pay any price
And if you stand in his way
He kills everything you love
He's dad of (or??: He has got a) thousand faces, and a million alibis
Leaving bloody traces behind dirty lines
Living in a kingdom, built of arms, and a world of sin
He'll never stop at nothing, he'll always be the king
His duty is to win
Beware the man, and his dangerous smile
You'll understand, if you happened to know him a while
If you're a thorn in his sight
He kills everything you love
Beware the man
He kills everything that you love
He kills everything that you love
Beware his dangerous smile
He kills everything you love
He kills everything that you love
He kills everything that you love
Goldfinger, he's the man
The man with the midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there is no open door
What are you hoping for? Do you know?
Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasy that filled our minds
And you knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughing at the questions that you once asked of me
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Now looking back at all we planned
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see,
How sad the answers to those questions can be?
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you?
Where are you going to? Do you know?
Do you get what you're hoping for?
When you look behind you there is no open door
What are you hoping for? Do you know?
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much,
I love you
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win you're heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying,
I love you
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying,
I love you
I love you
Baby, show me what you feel
Come to me, show me somethin' real
I need to know, I need you completely
Come on closer
Our Love is taking over, gotta let it in
And I need to feel the heart of you
I need to reach the very deepest part of you
Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside?
Can I touch your heart, the way you're touching mine?
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within?
Can I touch you there?
Can I touch you there?
Baby, tell me with your eyes
Tell me every secret
Every deep desire
Till you and I, are making love completely
Come on closer
Can't help the way I hold you
Just hunger for your love
And I need to feel the heart of you
I Need to reach the very deepest part of you
Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside?
Can I touch your heart, the way you're touching mine?
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within?
Can I touch you there?
Can I touch you there?
And I need to feel the heart of you
I've need to reach the very deepest part of you
Let me be the one to show you just what love can do
Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside?
Can I touch your heart, the way you're touching mine?
Can I touch you there, touch you deep within?
Can I touch you there?
Can I touch you there?
If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
Now don't forget me
'Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do
If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted,
And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
Crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
Crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy
(with English translation)
Guarda le foglie morte
Look at the barren leaves
Portate via dal vento
Carried away by the wind
Si sente un brivido nel cuor
One can feel a shiver in one's heart
Nel cielo tutto grigio
In the sky, completely grey
Si specchia il mio tormento
My pain finds a reflection
La vita non avrà più sole
Life won't be sunny anymore
Nell'aria senza luce
Through the lightless air
S'innalzano più tristi
The first strains of a destiny that is going to come
Le prime note di un destin che verrà
Arise sadder and sadder
L'inizio di un concerto che dice a questo cuor:
The beginning of a concert that whispers to my heart:
"L'autunno è ritornato, l'amore no"
"Autumn is back, love is not"
Nell'aria senza luce
Through the lightless air
S'innalzano più tristi
The first strains of a destiny that is going to come
Le prime note di un destin che verrà
Arise sadder and sadder
L'inizio di un concerto che dice a questo cuor:
The beginning of a concert that whispers to my heart:
"L'autunno è ritornato, l'amore no"
"Autumn is back, love is not"
Once in your life you'll find him
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know you're closing down the town
Wake up and he's still with you
Even though you left him away cross town
You're wondering to yourself, "hey what have I found"
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
Arthur he does, what he pleases
Followed his life, his masters toys
And deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a real good time
He's laughing about the way they wanting to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The Best that you can do
The Best that you can do
When you get caught between the moon and New York city
I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York city
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love
Fall in love
Fall in love
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you loved me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is there
That is my belief
And yes, I know
How loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
(Raoul:)
No more talk of darkness
Forget those wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you
(Christine:)
Say you love me
Every waking moment
Turn my head
With talk of summertime
Say you need me
With you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you
(Raoul:)
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe: No-one will find you
Your fears are far behind you
(Christine:)
All we need is freedom
A world that's warm and right
And you, always behind me
To hold me and to hide me
(Raoul:)
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you
(Christine:)
Say the word
And I will follow you
(Both:)
Share each day with me
Each night, each morning
(Shirley:)
Say you feel the way I do
That's all I ask of you
You know that my tears, have kept me awake
The longer you're gone, I'll hunger and shake
From Warsaw to Rome, I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
So won't you come close, bring this to an end
With each Winter rose, my love I will send
So tender the night, when you hold me tight
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
You know that these tears, have kept me awake
The longer you're gone, I'll hunger and shake
From Warsaw to Rome, I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
The Rhythm Divine
The Rhythm Divine
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
Hoy no tengo nada,
hoy no tengo a nadie.
Te adoro con gran pasión...
Si hoy no soy nadie
al menos te brindo mi amor...
¡Te amo!
Tú y tus diamantes
son para tu amante.
Pero dime, no puedes ver
que aunque la vida le des
jamás te amará como yo...
¡Te amo!
Tú la llevas para presumir
a esos clubes y restaurantes;
Y ya no puedo resistir
mirarlos a través
de mi dolor...
Hoy no tengo nada,
hoy no tengo a nadie.
Y mientras bailando van,
quisiera ser la otra mujer...
¡si sólo soy yo
quien te ama!
quien te ama...
quien te ama...
You can have him, I don't want him
He's not worth fighting for
Besides there's plenty more where he came from
I don't want him, you can have him
I'm givin' him the sack
So he can go right back, where he came from
I'm afraid I never loved him
He'd be better off with you
I could never make him happy
All I ever wanted to do was
Run my fingers through his curly locks
Mend his clothing, darn his socks
(Live at The Pigalle: Mend his underware and darn his socks)
Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
Wipe his glasses when he read the news
Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
Mornings after when he had a little to much
Kiss him gently when he cuddled near
And give him babies one for every year
So you see
That you can have him, I don't want him
I don't want him, you can have him
Because he's not the man for me
Then I close the windows while he soundly slept
Then I brayed the icebox where the food is kept
I'd fix him breakfast that would please him most
(Live at Talk Of The Town: I'd fix him breakfast he prefers the most)
Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast
... (crying)
Then I go out and buy the papers
And when they've been read
Spend the balance of the day in bed
So you see
That you can have him, I don't want him
I don't want him, you can have him
Because he's not my man
I don't want him, you can have him
You can have him, I don't want him
I don't want him, you can have him
Because he's not the man for me
You and I will travel far together
We'll pursue our little star together
We'll be happy as we are together
We may never get to heaven
But it's heaven, at least to try
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I are going on together
'Til the time we have is gone together
Watch the evening drawing on together
Growing older, growing closer
Making memories that light the sky
That only time can make
That only love can make
That only we can make
You and I
You and I, You and I, ...
(The words in brackets are variations on some recordings.)
There were times when live seems so empty to me
But things are changing, now I'm free as a bird
You ain't heard nothing yet
There were times when I felt live running away
But that's to easy, so now I'm here to stay
You ain't heard nothing yet
If you think I'll never sing another song
Never shed another tear
Then wait, you could be wrong
If you think, I'll never break another heart
This is now my brandnew start
And I'll prove you wrong
I've known it all along
There were times (when) I wished I'm (or: I was) somebody else
Someone who'd do better, now I don't care
You ain't heard nothing yet
All my life I've known that I wasn't alone
(That) Luck 's on my side
Baby (so) how carry on
You ain't heard nothing yet
If you think I'll never sing another song
Never shed another tear
Then wait, you could be wrong
If you think, I'll never break another heart
This is now my brandnew start
And I'll prove you wrong
I've known it all along
If you think I'll never sing another song
Never shed another tear
Then wait, you could be wrong
If you think, I'll never break another heart
This is now my brandnew start
And I'll prove you wrong
I've known it all along
But baby
You ain't heard nothing yet
Lyrics with translation:
Yes, nella mente ho te
Yes, in my mind there's you
Yes, nel mio cuore ho te
Yes, in my heart there's you
Yes, nella pelle ho te, ho te
Yes, under my skin there's you, you
Solamente te
Just you
Tu sei padrone di me
You are my master
E che lo voglia o no, lo so
And, whether I want it or not, I know
Che ti crederò
I will believe you
E so che tua sarò
And I will be yours
Mondo, di che colore sei?
World, what's your colour?
Uomo, e tu che cosa vuoi?
Man, what do you want from me?
Cosa vuoi?
What do you want?
Yes, io divento te
Yes, I become you
Yes, tu diventi me
Yes, you become me
E finalmente noi, oh yes
And at last we, oh yes
Siamo proprio noi
We are really us
Poi so che ti odierò
I know I will hate you someday
Ma che importanza ha, oh yes
But this is not important, oh yes
Ma che senso ha
What's the sense of this
Se ora sei qui con me?
Now that you're here with me?

That you're here with me?
Ora sei qui con me?
That you're here with me?
Ora sei qui con me?
That you're here with me?
Well I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile
But in your eyes the sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think about my sorrow
I had you there, then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live
I can't live anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live
I can't live anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
And your face when you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile
But in your eyes the sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live
I can't live anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live
I can't live anymore
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind
I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never wants heard you complain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I have it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth
I would be nothing with out you
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heart beat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver
That's a heavy load that we bear
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
Its cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
I need you
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
Its cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
Its cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
I need you
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
The tears I'm shedding now
I hear will dry in time
The fears I'm fearing now
I hear will die in time
But while I wait around for tomorrow
Watching life drift away
What about
What about
Today?
I know if I just wait
The sun will shine some day
And when it does
The weather will be fine someday
And while the skies I search for tomorrow
Stay that same shade of gray
What about
What about
Today?
'Til nirvana comes
What about today?
'Til messiah comes
What about today?
'Til the mountains move
And oceans part
And angels sing
And life can start
What about
What about
Today?
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for
If it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?
'Til nirvana comes
What about today?
'Til messiah comes
What about today?
'Til the mountains move
And oceans part
And angels sing
And life can start
What about
What about
Today?
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for
If it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?
What about
What about
Today?
Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say:
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say:
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem, to think I'll find another dream
In my life
Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me
And my life
This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
Sometime when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I've made
Of my life
Crying over my mistakes, forgetting all the breaks I've had
In my life
I was put on earth to be, a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just add up the score, and count the things I'm grateful for
In my life
This Is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
This is my life
This is my life
This is my life
There's no place like London
There's no place at all
The east or the Westend
You end up in the best end
There's no place like London
And I've been around
There's no place like London town
When You walk down the street
Feel the history under your feet
From the top of St. Pauls
To the old market stores
All in all it's my cup of tea
There's no place like London
There's no place at all
The east or the Westend
You end up in the best end
There's no place like London
And I've been around
There's no place like London town
See them changing the guard
When it's raining as hard as can be
I don't care who you are
You don't have to go far
To get treated like royalty
There's no place like London
There's no place at all
The east or the Westend
You end up in the best end
There's no place like London
And I've been around
There's no place like London town
Take Paris in the spring
Take New York in the fall
But I'd leave them behind
For the best of them all
There's no place like London
There's no place at all
The east or the Westend
You end up in the best end
There's no place like London
And I've been around
There's no place like London
London 's capital
There's no place like London town
Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, around the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
With the show
The show must go on
One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
To mend it's broken wing
Now I remember many a day
And many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper song
The shadow of a smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that the love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
In the choir of the ocean air
Are you here? Were you ever there?
In the yellow shifting sand
In a dream I held your hand
I run to the sea
And I reach for the sand
Just to hold in my hand
To believe your love
I stand with the waves rushing in
On the tide with my arms open wide
And I feel your love
I recall you in the sea and sand
Crying eyes and the reaching hand
Touching spray from my brow
Are you near?
Where are you now?
I call to the sea
To the wind
To the rain
Bring him back
Come again
Oh I need your love
I turn to the sky
And I search with my eyes
For a sign
You were mine
And I see your love
And then the ebb tide brings a small piece of your driftwood in it's hand
And you get washed up on the beaches of my long forgotten sand
And I go searching down the long deserted shore lines of my mind
Lighting fires with the pieces
To pass away the time
I run to the sea
And I reach for the sand
Just to hold in my hand
To believe your love
I stand with the waves rushing in
On the tide with my arms open wide
And I feel your love
I call to the sea
To the wind
To the rain
Bring him back
Come again
For I need your love
I turn to the sky
And I search with my eyes
For a sign
You were mine
And I see your love
I run to the sea
And I reach for the sand
Just to hold in my hand
To believe your love
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think, that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember, in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
I've wined and dined on mulligan stew
on "Live at Talk of the Town" inserted: I have, I have
And never wished for turkey
I've hitched and hiked and drifted to
From Maine to Alberquque
Alas I missed the beaux arts ball
And what is twice as sad
I was never at a party
Where they honoured Noel Coward
on "Live at Talk of the Town":
I was never at Barbra Streisands party - aaah
And that make me bloody mad
a ...(??) funny girl
on "At The Pigalle":
Alas I'm always known as being in the pie(??)
I was never at Alma Cogans party
A shame
When she honoured Ringo Starr
on "The Birthday Concert" & video "An Audience With Shirley Bassey":
I was never at Hugh Grants party
When he honoured the great divide - ouh
His social circles move to fast for me
My hobohemia is the place to be
I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I love the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people I hate
That's why this lady is a tramp
I don't like crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of those girls
That's why this lady is a tramp
I like the free fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke... that's oke
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why this lady is a tramp
I like the free fresh wind in my hair
on "Live at Talk of the Town": I like the free fresh wind in my wig
Life without care
I'm broke... that's oke
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why this lady is a tramp
And I love it
Yes, I'm a tramp, and I love it
And I wish that you will come in my way yeah
I wish that you will come in my way yeah
I wish that you will come in my way
Yes, I'm a lady
But a tramp
There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And ev'ryone laughs when he's down
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But ev'ryone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But ev'ryone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
The joker is me
The joker is me
Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
And so
though it was hard to face our friends I gave a party
I know
I meant to show them all I've gotten over you
And though
I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces
I had to try to make them think that it was true
So I
who had me dance, dance through the night, just like a gypsy
And I
who seldom drink, drank like a fish till I was high
And I
who hadn't laughed since God knows when, outlaughed Pagliacci
Till they
believed it more than even I
Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
But love
if you had been behind the curtain when it fell
When all the lights were out and I was all alone
You would have seen
this actress crying
Yes, tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
But love
if you had been behind the curtain when it fell
When all the lights were out and I was all alone
You would have seen
this actress crying
The first time
Ever I saw your face
I thought the sun
Rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark
And the empty skies
My Love
To the dark
And the endless skies
The first time
Ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth
Move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there
At my command
My Love
That was there
At my command
The first time
Ever I lay with you
I felt your heart
So close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last
Till the end of time
My love
And would last
Till the end of time
The first time
Ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes aaah
When he walks, he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes, each girl he passes goes aaah
Ooh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, and tan, and young, and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
But he doesn't see
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes aaah
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes aaah
Ooh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, and tan, and young, and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, I smile
But he doesn't see
No, he doesn't see
Oh, poor little me
Why can't it be me
I wish ...
No pude tolerar esa situación
que hoy pretendo explicar
con el corazón;
Absurdo el sentimiento,
pensé que sólo te dejaste amar
por compasión.
Después la realidad pudo demostrar
que uno es el que amará
y el otro deja amar;
Ahora lo comprendo
y sé que nada cambiará mi situación.
Yo te quiero más que tú a mí...
y yo te quiero más que tú a mí;
Lo sabe todo el mundo
que este amor profundo
es casi un tormento para mí.
Yo te quiero más que tú a mí...
y yo te quiero más que tú a mí;
Y es lo más probable,
que sea inevitable,
que siempre viviré contigo así,
contigo así...
contigo así...
Después la realidad pudo demostrar
que uno es el que amará
y el otro deja amar.
Ahora lo comprendo
y sé que nada cambiará mi situación.
Y será, y será mi fatalidad,
y seguirá y seguirá así,
Y será, y será mi fatalidad,
y seguirá, y seguirá así...
Yo te quiero más que tú a mí...
y yo te quiero más que tú a mí;
Lo sabe todo el mundo
que este amor profundo
es casi un tormento para mí.
Yo te quiero más que tú a mí...
y yo te quiero más que tú a mí;
Y es lo más probable,
que sea inevitable,
que siempre viviré contigo así,
fading down:
Yo te quiero más que tú a mí...
y yo te quiero más que tú a mí;
Lo sabe todo el mundo
que este amor profundo
es casi un tormento para mí.
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go
I'd like to runaway
There's a greyhound bus that's leaving
Half past four
This time it's over if I take it
So I slowly cross the room
And at the door
That's one mistake to make, when I maked it
I start to see you sleeping
Lying there
One empty cup, one empty chair
I'd like to runaway
But I can't go
I'd like to find a way
But I can't go
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go
No, I can't take it
No, I can't fake it
No, I couldn't make it through alone
I couldn't make it oh...
So instead I set my bag down
That Ain't fair
You're still sleeping like a baby
I touch your lips, your eyes, your mouth
And kiss your hair
It might just workout
Who knows, maybe
I was sure that I could make it
Through the door
Find someone else who needs me more
I'd like to runaway
But I can't go
I'd like to find a way
But I can't go
I'm lost, I've gone astray
But I can't go
No, I can't take it
No, I can't fake it
No, I couldn't make it through alone
I couldn't make it oh...
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?
What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll never catch wise
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Back in the days of old Methusulah
Everyone loves the big bamboozulah
Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble
Go into your dance
Though you are stiffer than a girder
They let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you got a romance
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act that's unassailable
They'll wait a year till you're available
Give 'em the old wobble bammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorcere you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you got no talents?
Razzle dazzle 'em
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll make you a star
If there's a wrong way to do it
A wrong way to play it
Nobody does it like me
If there's a wrong way to do it
A right way to screw it up
Nobody does it like me
I've got a big loud mouth
I'm always talking much to free
If you go for tact and manners
Better stay away from me
If there's a wrong way to keep it cool
A right way to be a fool
Nobody does it like me
I hear a love song or ballad
I toss like a salad
Nobody tosses like me
And when my evenings get tougher
I just take two bufferin'
And drink a hot cup of tea
Last night I met an old acquaintance
At a fancy corner pub
He said: Come on, let's have some supper
So he used my credit-club
If there's a wrong way to take a guy
The worst way to make a guy
Nobody does it like me
If there's a wrong bell, I ring it
A wrong note, I sing it
Nobody does it like me
If there's a problem, I duck it
I don't solve it, I just muck it up
Nobody does it like me
As though I try to be a lady
I'm no lady, I'm a frog
And when I talk like I'm a lady
What I sound like is a frog
If there's a wrong way to get a guy
The right way to lose a guy
Nobody does it like me
Nobody does it
No, nobody does it
Nobody does it like me
Nobody does it like me
Lyrics with translation:
No me hables más de amor
Don't speak to me of love
nunca más,
Ever again
no insistas por favor
Please don't insist
nunca más.
Ever again
No puedo soportar
I can't stand
la pena que me da.
The sorrow it makes me feel
No me hables más de amor
Don't speak to me of love
nunca más,
Ever again
no insistas por favor
Please don't insist
nunca más.
Ever again
No quiero escuchar
I don't want to hear it
prefiero olvidar.
I'd rather forget
Ya no me engaño más
I don't deceive myself anymore
con tus palabras ni tu voz;
With your words or your voice
perdí mis tontas ilusiones,
I lost all my foolish illusions
mi llanto se secó.
All my tears dried out
Ya no me engaño más,
I don't deceive myself anymore
ya muchas veces te creí,
I believed you once too often
tus besos fueron una farsa,
Your kisses were nothing but a farce
pagué mi precio y aprendí.
I paid the price and learned my lesson well
No me hables más de amor
Don't speak to me of love
nunca más,
Ever again
No insistas por favor
Please don't insist
nunca más.
Ever again
Si dices la verdad
If you are telling the truth
por Dios demuéstralo,
By God, just prove it
por Dios demuéstralo.
By God, just prove it
Ya no me engaño más,
I don't deceive myself anymore
ya muchas veces te creí,
I believed you once too often
tus besos fueron una farsa,
Your kisses were nothing but a farce
pagué mi precio y aprendí.
I paid the price and learned my lesson well
(fading down:)
Ya no me engaño más
I don't deceive myself anymore
con tus palabras ni tu voz;
With your words or your voice
perdí mis tontas ilusiones,
I lost all my foolish illusions
mi llanto se secó.
All my tears dried out
Where is the solace that I crave?
Will it still haunt me to my grave?
Too broken to forgive
Too painful to relive now
There may be other arms to hold
They'll only keep me from the cold
There always be a space
A fact I have to face now
How long does a heart stay broken?
How long if the pain's unspoken?
No solace in a kiss
No comfort in the sigh
No good about goodbye
My heart is no good at pretending
It knows that the hurts never ending
No solace in a kiss
No comfort in the sigh
No good about goodbye
There's only so much you can give
Only through forgets to live
And easy thing to say
The pass will go away now
How long does a heart stay broken?
How long if the pain's unspoken?
No solace in a kiss
No comfort in the sigh
No good about goodbye
My heart is no good at pretending
It knows that the hurts never ending
No solace in a kiss
No comfort in the sigh
No good about goodbye
I'll never be yours so come to your senses
Before you make your move
Think of the consequences
How long does a heart stay broken?
How long if the pain's unspoken?
No solace in a kiss
No comfort in the sigh
No good about goodbye
My heart is no good at pretending
It knows that the hurts never ending
No solace in a kiss
No comfort in the sigh
No good about goodbye
No good about goodbye
Quiero
volver a revivir
todo el fuego que perdí por un error.
Y ahora creo
que no podré fingir,
eres la locura del primer amor.
Ya no verás
(no verás)
mi tonta vanidad,
(mi tonta vanidad)
hoy quiero amar
(quiero amar)
con naturalidad.
(hoy quiero amar con naturalidad)
Eres melodía que yo cantaré,
eres poesía que yo escribiré;
Y las tonterías que podría leer
serán de amor, no fingiré.
Y mis alegrías que hoy te brindaré,
y con fantasía yo te soñaré,
y mis picardías las compartiré
contigo amor, no fingiré.
Quiero
volver a compartir
los momentos que vivir con tanto ardor.
Y ahora creo
que tengo que admitir,
ya no es divertido simular mi amor.
Ya no verás
(no verás)
mi tonta vanidad,
(mi tonta vanidad)
hoy quiero amar
(quiero amar)
con naturalidad.
(hoy quiero amar con naturalidad)
Eres melodía que yo cantaré,
eres poesía que yo escribiré;
Y las tonterías que podría leer
serán de amor, no fingiré.
Y mis alegrías que hoy te brindaré,
y con fantasía yo te soñaré,
y mis picardías las compartiré
contigo amor, no fingiré
La, la, la, la...
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies
Under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
And now I need a little give and take
The New York Times
The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And that's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown
or on the Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York...
I'm in a New York...
State of mind
New York state of mind
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I wanna be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And step around the heart of it
New York, New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York
So good they named it twice
New York, New York
All the scandal and the vice
I love it!
New York, New York
Now isn't it a pity
What they say about New York City
New York, New York
So good they named it twice
New York, New York
All the scandal and the vice
I love it!
New York, New York
Now isn't it a pity
What they say about New York City
My little town blues
Are longing to stray
I wanna be a part of it
New York, New York
If I can make it there
I'd make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
I'd like to run away from you ,but if you never found me I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never will
You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you
But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do?
Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die, for you
You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad, for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I tell myself "What's done is done"
I tell myself "Don't be a fool
Play the field, have a lot of fun
It's easy when you play it cool"
I tell myself "Don't be a chump
Who cares, let him stay away"
That's when the phone rings, and I jump
And as I grab the phone I pray
"Let it please be him
Oh dear God it must be him
It must be him, or I shall die
I shall die"
After a while I'm myself again
I pick the pieces off the floor
I put my heart on the shelf again
He'll never hurt me anymore
I'm not a puppet on a string
I'll find somebody new someday
That's when the phone begins to ring
And once again I start to pray
"Let it please be him
Oh dear God it must be him
It must be him, or I shall die
I shall die
Oh, hello, hello
My dear God, it must be him
But it's not him, and then I die
Again I die
Oh, hello, hello
My dear God, it must be him
But it's not him, and then I die
Again I die
I shall die"
Fácil, de prisa
yo repartí mis emociones,
hoy cenizas,
tan sólo un recuerdo hay en mí
y que prolongó
las penas en mi corazón,
y aún no sé por qué razón
la vida hoy me separó,
o sí nadie más te quiso, no como yo.
Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.
Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.
Vuelvo ya sin prisas
con el mismo fuego en mi alma
hecho trizas;
si yo busqué por todas partes,
de norte a sur,
con afán, con la inquietud
por sabes si ya te rebasé,
pero siempre subes tú,
pues nadie más te quiso, no como yo
Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.
Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.
Y cada hora que te espero,
cada hora sin tu amor
soy infeliz y desespero,
es que nadie te ama, nadie tanto como yo.
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.)
No, no, no...
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.)
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.)
No, no, no...
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
No como yo.)
No, no, no como yo...
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.
Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.)
No, no, no como yo...
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.)
No, no, no, no.
(Nadie nunca quiso ni en el paraíso,
no como yo.)
Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And I'll tell you some lies
Got nothing to lose
So you just sing the blues all the time
Gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
You left me alone here
With nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
Now all I want is a smile
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
You need what you need
You can say what you want
Not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
May be blue skies above
But it's cold when you're love's on the rocks
First, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
When they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song
Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Pour me a drink
And I'll tell you some lies
Yesterday's gone
Now all I want is a smile
I spent my night-time
Dreaming that I'm holding you close
Only to wake up
All alone
Crying my heart out
For that's when I miss you the most
Misery is all my heart's ever known
Lost and lonely
That's my destiny
There never seems to be
A moment's happiness for me
Nobody knows what heartache and what torture it can be
To live without your love
Lost and lonely
Still I struggle on
In dreams of love
That comes at night and disappears at dawn
The magic morning
I'll awake and find you haven't gone
It's all I'm dreaming of
Maybe tomorrow
All the dreams I've dreamed will come true
But until then:
Love, where are you?
Lost and lonely
Still I struggle on
In dreams of love
That comes at night and disappears at dawn
The magic morning
I'll awake and find you haven't gone
It's all I'm dreaming of
Maybe tomorrow
All the dreams I've dreamed will come true
But until then:
Love, where are you?
Love, where are you?
Love, where are you?
The sun comes up
I think about you
The coffee cup
I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
I think about you
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon, doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right
I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon, doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right
I dim the lights and think about you Spend sleepless nights to think about you You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say:
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say:
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem, to think I'll find another dream
In my life
Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me
And my life
Ah, la vita
Più bello della vita non c'è niente
E forse tanta gente non lo sa, non lo sa, non lo sa
Ah, la vita
Che cosa di più bello esiste al mondo
E non ce ne accorgiamo quasi mai, quasi mai, quasi mai
Sometime when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I've made
Of my life
Crying over my mistakes, forgetting all the breaks I've had
In my life
I was put on earth to be, a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just add up the score, and count the things I'm grateful for
In my life
Ah, la vita
Più bello della vita non c'è niente
E forse tanta gente non lo sa, non lo sa, non lo sa
Ah, la vita
Che cosa di più bello esiste al mondo
E non ce ne accorgiamo quasi mai, quasi mai, quasi mai
Ah, la vita
Che cosa di più bello esiste al mondo
E non ce ne accorgiamo quasi mai, quasi mai, quasi mai
Ah, la vita
Ah, la vita
Ah, la vita
Lay a whisper
On my pillow
Leave the winter
On the ground
I wake up lonely
There's air of silence
In the bedroom
And all around
Touch me now
I close my eyes
And dream away
It must have been love
But it's over now
It must have been good
But I lost it somehow
It must have been love
But it's over now
From the moment we touched
Till the time had ran out
Make believing
We're together
That I'm sheltered
By your heart
But in and outside
I've turned to water
Like a teardrop
In your palm
And it's a hard
Winter's day
I dream away
It must have been love
But it's over now
It was all that I wanted
Now I'm living without
It must have been love
But it's over now
It's where the water flows
It's where the wind blows
It must have been love
But it's over now
It was all that I wanted
Now I'm living without
It must have been love
But it's over now
It must have been good
But I lost it somehow
It must have been love
But it's over now
Lyrics with translation:
Traté de recordar y qué ironía
I tried to remember, and what an irony
las veces que te oí llamarme ‘amor´.
The times I heard you say "my love"
Los dedos de una mano sobrarían
The fingers of one hand would be too many to count them
y ves que junto a ti aún estoy.
And yet you see I'm still with you
Traté de aceptar tus condiciones
I tried to accept your conditions
y escondo cada vez tanta emoción.
Hiding my emotions every time
Te amo locamente
I love you "madly"
y tú sinceramente
You love me "sincerely"
jamás supiste amar igual que yo.
You never knew how to love like I do
La pasión que nos devora
The passion that consumes us
en la noche se ocultó,
Got hidden in the night
las miradas de fervor
The passionate looks
así nadie las vio.
That no one ever saw
La pasión que nos devora
The passion that consumes us
la razón me adormeció,
Clouded my thinking
esta suerte de dolor
This painful luck
así siguió.
Went on and on
Y trato de pensar serenamente
And serenely I try to think
tristezas y rencor los dejo atrás;
Leaving sadness and resentment behind
si cruzo esa puerta
If I walk out that door
con la esperanza abierta
With any hope at all
ya sé que nunca mas me llamarás.
I know it'll be the last time I'll hear from you
La pasión que nos devora
The passion that consumes us
en la noche se ocultó,
Got hidden in the night
las miradas de fervor
The passionate looks
así nadie las vio.
That no one ever saw
La pasión que nos devora
The passion that consumes us
la razón me adormeció,
Clouded my thinking
esta suerte de dolor
This painful luck
así siguió.
Went on and on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
But he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Johnny could only sing one note
And the note he sang was this: aaaahh
Poor Johnny One Note
Sang out with Gusto
And just overloaded the place
Poor Johnny One Note
Yelled willy-nilly
Until he was blue in the face
For holding one note was his ace
Couldn't hear the brass
Couldn't hear the drum
He was in a class
By himself, by gum
Poor Johnny One Note
Got in Aida indeed a great chance to be brave
He took his one note
Howled like the North Wind
Brought forth wind that made critics rave
While Verdi turned round in his grave
Couldn't hear the flute
Or the big trombone
Everyone was mute
Johnny stood alone
Cats and dogs stopped yapping
Lions in the zoo
Were all jealous of Johnny's big thrill
Thunderclaps stopped clapping
Traffic ceased its roar
And they tell us Niag'ra stood still
He stopped the trainwistles
Boatwhistles
Steamwhistles
Copwhistles
All whistles bowed to his skill
Sing Johnny One Note
Sing out with gusto
And just overwhelm all the crowd
Aaaahh
So sing, Johnny One Note out loud
Sing, Johnny One Note
Sing - Johnny - One Note - Out loud
Come tomorrow wade ourselves inside, amore, oh oh oh
Reunited with my love inside, amore, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Will we both go home so we can be together, oh oh oh
Really both go home to stay in love forever, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Scorching sun upon a beach near a cantina (??)
Out of reach where there’s no one to come between us, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
(... ...??) your eyes I see desire, oh oh oh
Wind and rain can't stop the flame that starts the fire, oh oh oh
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
Jezahel, Jezahel
It's impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
Can I hold you
Closer to me
And not feel you
Going through me
Split the second
That I never think of you
Oh how impossible
Can the ocean
Keep from rushing to the shore
It's just impossible
If I hold you
Could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul
And not regret it
For to live without your love
Is just impossible
Can the ocean
Keep from rushing to the shore
It's just impossible
If I hold you
Could I ever want for more
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world
Somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul
And not regret it
For to live without your love
Is just impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible
It's impossible
If you go away, on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away, as I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning till
You return again, if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till the next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought you might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
He can be the biggest heel that human nature has invented
But I'd never change him if I could
And whenever he's away from me
I nearly go demented
I'd leave him if I could
He's the face upon the pillow
That I always want to turn to
But I never know how long he'll stay
You may ask me why I choosed to live this way
Well, I'm a woman
If you don't understand
You've never known a love that was real
You've never known the way that I feel
Each time he leaves me
If You don't understand
You've never known impossible dreams
You've never known the hell that it means to be
Missing him
Wanting him
He can take me to the moon each time he puts his arms around me
Only he can take the moon away
And if I regret the day this wayward lover ever found me
I'd be to proud to say
He can smile and I surrender
But I couldn't live without him
He's the loosing game I always play
You may ask me why I choosed to live this way
Well, I'm a woman
If you don't understand
You've never known a love that was real
You've never known the way that I feel
Each time he leaves me
If You don't understand
You've never known impossible dreams
You've never known the hell that it means to be
Missing him
Wanting him
If you don't understand
You've never known a love that was real
You've never known the way that I feel
Each time he leaves me
If You don't understand
You've never known impossible dreams
You've never known the hell that it means to be
Missing him
Wanting him
If and when
I've fallen in love again
I shall remember when
My world was you
When and if
I get that all terrific thrill
It will last until
I think of you
Live and learn
They say, we live and learn
And may be in return
We learn to live
Foolish me
How crazy can I be
When anyone can see
There's only you
If and when
Love ever calls again
I close the door and say
You've been this way before
If and when
Love ever calls again
I close the door and say
I said goodbye I said goodbye
And sent you on the way
I'm sorry now
I'm sorry now
Each long and lonely day
I want you back
I want you back
Just like you used to be
Although I know
I loved you more than you loved me
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I'd walk the floor each night
I'd cry myself to sleep
I'd call myself a fool
I'd suffer all the pain
That loving you can bring
And then and then
I'd do it all again
I'd swallow all my pride
I'd run each time you call
I'd crawl for just one kiss
I'd tear myself apart
But still I'd give my heart
I'd do it all again
Where are you now
Where are you now
I keep on wondering
I'm still around
I'm still around
And still remembering
If there's a chance
One little chance
That you are lonely too
Well, here I am
Yes, here I am
Still wanting you
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I'd walk the floor each night
I'd cry myself to sleep
I'd call myself a fool
I'd suffer all the pain
That loving you can bring
And then and then
I'd do it all again
I'd swallow all my pride
I'd run each time you call
I'd crawl for just one kiss
I'd tear myself apart
But still I'd give my heart
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I'd do it all again
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this Mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I'm traveled so far
To change my lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change my lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
(Fading down)
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I'd like to run away from you, but if you never found me I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me, but I know I never will
You stay away and all I do is wonder why the hell I wait for you
But when did common sense prevail for lovers when we know it never will
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You never treat me like you should, so what's the good of loving as I do?
Although you always laugh at love, nothing else would be good enough for you
Impossible to live with you, but I know, I could never live without you
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me live, you make me die, for you
You make me sing, you make me sad, you make me glad, you make me mad, for you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
I love you, hate you, love you, hate you
But I'll want you till the world stops turning
For whatever you do
I never, never, never want to be in love with anyone but you
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go
From day to day
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time
Will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let's take a lifetime to say
"I knew you well"
For only time
Will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know
Strangers (, strangers, strangers)
For all we know
Excuse me
but would you repeat that phrase
I could have sworn I heard you say
You don't care no more
Excuse me
But I can't believe my ears
You mean after all these years
You just don't care no more
You can't mean it
Please look at me and say
That we're really through
Oh I see it
Now you look at me that way
Suddenly I know it's true
Excuse me
I can't seem to find the door
And my feet don't find the floor
For my legs are numb and weak
And my throat 's too dry to speak
But my heart wants so to scream
For this nightmare's not a dream
You don't care no more
You don't care no more
You just don't
Care no more
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart breaks
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart breaks
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits in the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Oh, look at all the lonely people
Oh, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
Oh, look at all the lonely people
Oh, look at all the lonely people
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
Sentimental people see the world
With the gentleness of fools
Wishful thinking makes the days go by
Every minute is a lullaby
It's the Easy Thing To Do
It's the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
Tender people still believe in love
Broken promises are few
Only hearing what they want to hear
Twisting words to make them sound sincere
It's the Easy Thing To Do
It's the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
And the world would be a better place
If it's people didn't have to lie
For the lier
Is a lier
And only fools himself
If the man could only see himself
As the younger man that grew
Love could find a place and no mistake
Wiser man and he had learned to late
It's the Easy Thing To Do
It's the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
And the world would be a better place
If it's people didn't have to lie
For the lier
Is a lier
And only fools himself
If the man could only see himself
As the younger man that grew
Love could find a place and no mistake
Wiser man and he had learned to late
It's the Easy Thing To Do
It's the Easy Thing To Do
And the Easy Thing To Do
Is love
Can you read my mind?
Do you know what it is you do to me?
Don't know who you are
Just a friend from another star
Here I am
Like a kid at the school
Holding hands
With a god(??) I'm a fool
Will you look at me, quivering,
Like a little girl, shivering
You can see right through me
Can you read my mind?
Can you picture the things I'm thinking of?
Wondering why you are
All the wonderful things you are
You can fly
You belong to the sky
You and I
Could belong to each other
If you need a friend
I'm the one to fly to
If you need
To be loved
Here I am
Read my mind
Will you look at me, quivering
Like a little girl, shivering
You can see right through me
If you need a friend
I'm the one to fly to
If you need
To be loved
Here I am
Read my mind
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about her 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
The different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher - that was me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Quando viene la sera
When the evening is falling
E il silenzio è più grande
And the silence is greatest
C'e nell'aria qualcosa
In the air there is something
Che mi parla di te
That speaks to me of you
Domani, domani
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Io sento dentro
Inside I am hearing a voice
Una voce che dice
That is saying
Che tornerai per rimanere
You will come back again to stay here
Per sempre con me
Forever with me
Domani, domani
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Ma che cos'e questo domani, domani
But what is this "tomorrow, tomorrow"
È un giorno che
It is a day
Ha' inventato per farmi
That has been invented for me
Sperare cosi
To be hoping like this
Quando l’alba ritorna
When the morning's returning
Nasce una speranza
And a new hope is dawning
Ed aspetto la sera
I'm awaiting the evening
Nell'attesa di te
In expectation of you
Domani, domani
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Io sento dentro
Inside I am hearing a voice
Una voce che dice
That is saying
Che tornerai per rimanere
You will come back again to stay here
Per sempre con me
Forever with me
Con me
with me
Domani, domani
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Io sento dentro
Inside I am hearing a voice
Una voce che dice
That is saying
Che tornerai per rimanere

Con me
with me
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every man I see
Hey big spender!
Spend a little time with me
Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun?
How's about a few laughs, laughs?
I could show you a good time
Let me show you a good time
The minute you walked in the joint
I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender
Good looking, so refined
Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind?
So let me get right to the point
I don't pop my cork for every man I see
Hey big spender!
Hey big spender!
Hey big spender!
Spend a little time with me
Diamonds are forever,
They are all I need to please me,
They can stimulate and tease me,
They won't leave in the night,
I've no fear that they might desert me.
Diamonds are forever,
Hold one up and then caress it,
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
I can see ev'ry part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for.
I don't need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love's gone,
They'll lustre on.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
(with English translation)
Febbre di luna sulla mia facia
Moon fever upon my face
Come avessi bevuto un po'
As if I were a little drunk
Guardo la gente
I look at the people
Sembra che tutti
It seems that everybody
Che tutti sappiano di me
That everybody knows about me
Di me, di te
About me, about you
Chi si vuol bene come noi lo sa
Those who love each other as we do, they know
Che un giorno o l'altro ti succede
That soon or later it may happen
Di amare tanto da morire
To love so much up to the point
E non capire se esiste il mondo
Of not understanding if the world exists
Chi si vuol bene come noi lo sa
Those who love each other as we do, they know
Che amare è dare la tua vita
That loving means to give away your own life
Tutta la vita in un momento
Your whole life just in a moment
Anche se dopo, dopo non vivi più
Even if later, later you can't live anymore
Ma almeno questo è vivere
But al least that's living
Chi si vuol bene come noi lo sa
Those who love each other as we do, they know
Chi si vuol bene come noi lo sa
Those who love each other as we do, they know
Che amare è dare la tua vita
That loving means to give away your own life
Tutta la vita in un momento
Your whole life just in a moment
Anche se dopo, dopo non vivi più
Even if later, later you can't live anymore
Ma almeno questo è vivere
But al least that's living
È vivere... è vivere
That's living... that's living
(live Shirley Bassey begins with the refrain before the first verse)
When the spotlight hits my face, I'm alive
The stage is were I'll always survive
The only place that I want to be
When I hear the audience coming in
I feel the magic starts to begin
And then I know they come to see me
When I hear the maestro strike up the band
And the drums begin to play
It's the only way that I understand
To live my life each day
Refrain:
I was born to sing forever
Born to sing for you
And as long as were together
There's nothing else I want to do
I was born to sing forever
To me that's everything
And until the end of time
I know, I'm born to sing
(live Shirley Bassey repeats the refrain here and then ends without the second verse)
When the rhythm start to beat in my brain
I sing the verse and then the refrain
And love to hear the sound of applause
When the crowd appreciate what I do
I find that each performance is new
I go on singing that is because
There are those who think I'm wasting my time
They say that's life's not just a song
But as long as there is music and rhyme
I know where I belong
I was born to sing forever
Born to sing for you
And as long as were together
There's nothing else I want to do
I was born to sing forever
To me that's everything
And until the end of time
I know, I'm born to sing
I was born to sing forever
To me that's everything
And until the end of time
I know, I'm born to sing
Born to lose
Born to lose the game
Born to cry
When I hear your name
Born to smile
Through a mist of tears
Born to live
Lost in lonely years
Born to lose
Every game I play
You must go
There's no other way
Touch my life
With your love once more
It must last
Till forever more
Take my love
Take my life, my soul
Take my dreams
Take my word, my all
Could I change
Could I only choose
Oh, not me
I was born to lose
Take my love
Take my life, my soul
Take my dreams
Take my word, my all
Could I change
Could I only choose
No, not me
I was born to lose
Take my love
Take my life, my soul
Take my dreams
Take my word, my all
Could I change
Could I only choose
No, not me
I was born to lose
Take my love
Take my life, my soul
Take my dreams
Take my word, my all
Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
Spendin' every dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walk together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
Come to me
This was meant to be
Need you everyday
Baby always stay
I can't go back to living without you
Without you
Without you
Sabré de dónde yo partí,
pienso yo cuál es mi fin
simulando que tengo opción...
Así, sola yo.
Tratando siempre de alcanzar
esa estrella que podrá guiar
mi ansiedad por un amor...
Así, sola yo.
Ya vendrán igual que tú
a provocar la misma inquietud.
¡Dios mío, ayúdame! dime, oriéntame...
Quiero ser al fin mujer.
Y mis temores escondí
y se los amanecí;
si bien lloré mi decepción
así, sola yo.
Ya vendrán igual que tú
a provocar la misma inquietud.
¡Dios mío ayúdame! dime, oriéntame...
Quiero ser al fin mujer.
Sabré de dónde yo partí,
quién soy yo, cuál es mi fin.
Si bien perdí, buscaré el amor así
sin temor...
Así, sola yo.
I will love you as I love you
All my life
Every moment spent with you
Makes me more content with you
Just as you are
You are all I could pray for
All that you are
That's what I wake up each day for
Every single
Touch and tingle
I adore
Every kiss from you to me
Always seems so new to me
Each one warmer
Than the one before
As I love you more and more and more
Every single
Touch and tingle
I adore
Every kiss from you to me
Always seems so new to me
Each one warmer
Than the one before
As I love you more and more
And more
(in the 1969 version repeating the last verse during fade out)
I stand alone
Without a care
Open the door
But no-one's there
The lonely night
My only friend
Love's wrongs are right
I can't defend
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
And now I know
What I've become
It haunts me so
But I'll go on and on
I know the pain inside
Is the price you pay to ride
Into the brightest flame
Never the same again
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
You dare to dream
Take the chance and go
Desire has taken hold
Now the passion haunts you so
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself
To treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself right off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch
At a church
Where people saying
"My God it's tough
She's stood him up
No point in us remaining
We might as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again
Naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to
Who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
As if to knock my down
Reality came around
And without so much
As a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about
God in his mercy
Who if he really does exist
Why did he desert me?
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again
Naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried
When my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother
God rest her soul
Couldn't understand
Why The only man
She had ever loved
Had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again
Naturally
Alone again
Naturally
He's home again from another day
She smiles at him as he walks through the door
She wonders if it will be Okay
It's hard for her when he doesn't respond
He says babe you look a mess
You look dowdy in that dress
It's just not like it used to be
Then she says:
"I may not be a lady
But I'm All Woman
From Monday to Sunday I work harder than you know
I'm no classy lady
But I'm All Woman
And this woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one"
She stands there and lets the tears flow
The tears that she's been holding back so long
She wonders where did all the loving go
The love they used to share when they were strong
She says:
"Yes I look a mess
But I don't love you any less
I thought you always thought enough of me
I may not be a lady
But I'm All Woman
From Monday to Sunday I work my fingers to the bone
I'm no classy lady
But I'm All Woman
And this woman needs a little love to make her strong
You're not the only one"
He holds her and hangs his head in shame
He doesn't see her like he used to do
He's too wrapped up in working for his pay
He hasn't seen the pain he's put her through
Attention that he paid
Just vanished in the haze
He remembers how it used to be
When he used to say:
"You'll always be a lady
'Cause You're All Woman
From Monday to Sunday I love you much more than you know
You're a classy lady
'Cause You're All Woman
This woman needs a loving man to keep her warm"
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Living alone
I think of all the friends I’ve known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody’s home
All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
All by myself Don't wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live
All by myself anymore
Abide with me
Fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens
Lord give me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh abide with me
Together with choir:
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earths joys grows dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O thou who changed not, abide with me
Abide with me
Fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens
Lord give me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh abide with me

Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?
Like a summer rain
That cools the pavement with a patent leather shine
He came into my life and made the living fine
And gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
He fills my heart
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely
I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away
And he'll be there
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely
I reach for his hand, it's always there
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away
And he'll be there
Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing
With music and words I've been playing
For you I have written a song
To be sure that you know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I'll go along
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words
Hold my hand
In other words
Darling 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
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
Won't you come and go with me
Down that Mississippi?
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Come along with me on, down to New Orleans
Now the band's there to greet us
Old friends will meet us where all them folks
Going to the St. Louis Cemetery meet
Heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street
I'm telling ya, Basin Street is the street
Where all them characters from the First street they meet
New Orleans land of dreams
You'll never miss them rice and beans
Way down south in New Orleans
They'll be hugging and a-kissing
That's what I been missing
And all that music, lord, if you just listen
New Orleans, I got them Basin Street Blues
Now ain't you glad you went with me
On down that Mississippi?
We took a boat to the land of dreams
Where do I begin?
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?
Like a summer rain
That cools the pavement with a patent leather shine
He came into my life and made the living fine
And gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
He fills my heart
He fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With him along, who could be lonely

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?

I'm going to need him till the stars all burn away
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Don't you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making the world a little colder
Na na na, na na, na na na na
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You were made to go out and get her
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll start to make it better
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you? Hey Jude, you'll do
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Na na na, na na, na na na na
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You were made to go out and get her
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you'll begin to make it better, better, better, better
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na-na na na
Na-na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, hey Jude
Na na na, nana na na
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow
No where could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause
They'd gladly bid their deary jobs
Goodbye for anything theatrical and why?
There's no business like show business
And I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling
And there's your billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack
And when you lose it there's no attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back?
Let's go on with the show
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted
You're broken-hearted, but you go on
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you, you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
I stand alone
Without a care
Open the door
But no one's there
The lonely night
My only friend
Love's wrongs are right
I can't defend
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
And now I know
What I've become
It haunts me so
But I'll go on and on
I know the pain inside
Is the price you pay to ride
Into the brightest flame
Never the same again
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
You dare to dream
Take the chance and go
Desire's taken hold
Now the passion haunts you so
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
Disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away
(Chorus)
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
(Chorus)
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss
Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man and I can't tell you why
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man
It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan
De chimbley's smokin', de roof is leakin' in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy with jes' a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin
Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
When he goes away, dat's a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine
The sun will shine
He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' dat man the way I do
Oh, can't help lovin' that man of mine
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind
I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never wants heard you complain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I have it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth
I would be nothing with out you
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
(transcribed by Roman
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river... over you...
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything that traffic will allow
No where could you get that happy feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold
You may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold
Let's go on with the show
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause
They'd gladly bid their deary jobs
Goodbye for anything theatrical and why?
There's no business like show business
And I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling
And there's your billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack
And when you lose it there's no attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back?
Let's go on with the show
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
You get word before the show has started
That your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted
You're broken-hearted, but you go on
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you, you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show
Like the beat, beat, beat,
Of the tom-tom;
When the jungle shadows fall,
Like the tick, tick, tock
Of the stately clock,
As it stands against the wall,
Like the drip, drip, drip,
Of the raindrops,
When the summer show'r is through;
So a voice within me
Keeps repeating,
You, you, you
Night and day
You are the one,
Only you
Beneath the moon
And under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter,
Darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day.
Day and night
Why is it so,
That this longing for you follows
Where-ever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom,
In the silence of my lonely room,
I think of you,
Night and day.
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an
Oh, such a hungry yearning,
Burning inside of me.
And its torment won't be through
Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you,
Day and night,
Night and day.
This lovely day will lengthen into evening
We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had
Alone where we have walked together
I'll remember April and be glad
I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
For I'll remember April and you
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames live such a little while
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April and smile
I'll be content you loved me once in April
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow
For I'll remember April and you
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes
For flames live such a little while
I won't forget but I won't be lonely
I'll remember April and smile
Let there be you
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea
Let there be wind
An occasional rain
Chile con carne
Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds
To sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Hmm, love
Hmm, love
Let there be love
First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
Bye, bye, blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye, bye, blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye, bye
You've been crying, your face is a mess
Come here baby
You can dry the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again, I can tell
Oh, I know that look so well
Don't be shy
You've been here before
Pull your shoes of, lie down
And I will lock the door
And no one has to know
You've come here again
Darling, it'll be
Like it's always been before
Come over here
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, nothing need be said
Ain't no need
What's your hurry?
Please don't eat and run
You can let her wait
My darling, it's been so long
Since I've had you here
You can come again
Darling, it will be
Like it's always been before
Just a little breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, nothing need be said
Ain't no need
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
Honey, you don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
Oh darling, come on over here, darling
And gimme a breakfast in bed and a kiss or three
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, a kiss or three
When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played
Oh, what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade
Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on
Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Charade
Funny, did you hear that?
Funny, yes, the guy said, "Honey, you're a funny girl"
That's me, I just keep them in stitches
Doubled in half
And though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I guess it's not funny, life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over and the joke's on you
A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing, you really need for sure
When you're a funny girl, the fellow said, "A funny girl"
Funny, how it ain't so funny, funny girl
(You'll never know)
You'll never, never know I care
You'll never know the torch I bear
You'll never know it, for I won't show it
Oh no you'll never, never know
(You'll never know)
You'll never, never see me cry
Not even when you're glancing by
For I won't weaken, when we're speaking
Oh no you'll never, never know
You'll know the use to me
That I was before
You'll see the used to be
That one you did adore
(You'll never know)
No, no I know I won't reveal
The way I really, truly feel
But if you guess it, I'll confess it
Oh darling now's the time to glow
Or else you'll never, never know
You'll know the use to me
That I was before
You'll see the used to be
That one you did adore
(You'll never know)
No no I no I won't reveal
The way I really, truly feel
But if you guess it, I'll confess it
Oh darling now's the time to glow
Or else you never
No, no you'll never
Oh no you'll never
never know
(You'll never know)
Wise men say only fools rush in
But i can't help falling in love
falling in love
falling in love with you
Shall I stay would it be a sin
If i can't help falling in love
falling in love
falling in love with you
falling in love
falling in love
falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For i can't help falling in love
falling in lovefalling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes some things are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love

falling in love with you

Now that we're apart,
When I'm feeling blue,
There's a special dream
I dream of you!
In my special dream,
I touch paradise;
All I have to do
Is close my eyes!
And there you are, in my arms,
as you've been before;
Holding me, loving me,
Till I grieve no more.
All the hurt is gone,
Till I face the dawn,
I'm in heaven
When I dream of you!
Holding me, loving me,
Till I grieve no more.
All the hurt is gone,
Till I face the dawn,
I'm in heaven
When I dream of you!
Remember
Why must I remember
Why can't I simply close my eyes, go to sleep
And make him disappear
Why must I always hear
Dio come ti-amo
Those were the words he said
Oh god how much I love you
It still runs through my head
The wind began to blow
And all the leaves were flying
He stood there in the night
And tried to keep from crying
What could I have told him
What could I say of you
When love has lost it's meaning
It's over, it's through
And so I hurried on
For someone new was waiting
To hold me in his arms
In endless celebrating
But that was long ago
And many loves have I
But only one was real
And that I let slip by
Dio come ti-amo
I still can hear him say
Oh god how much I love you
Yet I walked away
I know, it's much to late
But I go right on praying
To have you back again
So you can hear me saying
Dio come ti-amo
Oh god how much I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

The sun comes up
I think about you
The coffee cup
I think about you
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends
I think about you
I talk to friends
I think about you
And do they know?
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon, doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right
I dim the lights
And think about you
Spend sleepless nights
To think about you
You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind
All afternoon, doing every little chore The thought of you stays bright Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right
I dim the lights and think about you Spend sleepless nights to think about you You said you loved me
Or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

As longs as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As longs as he needs me
As long as life is long
I'll love him, right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me
If you are lonely then you will know
When someone needs you you love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As longs as he needs me
If you are lonely then you will know
When someone needs you you love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As longs as he needs me
(lyric provided by John Bol
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you loved me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is there
That is my belief
And yes, I know
How loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
(transcribed by Roman )
You know that my tears, have kept me awake
The longer you're gone, I'll hunger and shake
From Warsaw to Rome, I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
So won't you come close, bring this to an end
With each Winter rose, my love I will send
So tender the night, when you hold me tight
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
You know that these tears, have kept me awake
The longer you're gone, I'll hunger and shake
From Warsaw to Rome, I'll wait out of time
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine
The Rhythm Divine
The Rhythm Divine
With you in my heart
The Rhythm Divine

Goldfinger, he's the man
The man with the midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
Goldfinger.
He's the man, the man with the midas touch.
A spider's touch.
Such a cold finger.
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in.
Golden words he will pour in your ear,
But his lies can't disguise what you fear,
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her,
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger.
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold.
Golden words he will pour in your ear,
But his lies can't disguise what you fear,
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her,
It's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger.
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold.
He loves only gold,
Only gold.
He loves gold.
He loves only gold,
Only gold.
He loves gold.
