"The Main Event (Ballad)"



Extra! Extra!
I'm in love
I gotta thank my luck stars above
Hurry, hurry don't be late
I can't wait
I gotta celebrate
It's a fact
We got a first rate act
It's evident when we make love
The main event
You're my every thought
Baby
You're my own attraction
You must be heaven's saint
You give me so much satisfaction
You're the one
You make life worth fighting for
You're the one-ah!
And there is nobody quite like you
Honey, you're the one...
You're my everything
And it's my conclusion
There is no sweeter scent
When you have found the right solution
Cause you're the one
You make life worth fighting for
You're the one
And there is nobody quite like you
You're my number one
You're my number one

Extra! Extra!

The main event
We're the main event!

"The Minute Waltz"

"The Minute Waltz"



I have got a minute, just a little minute,
I have only got a minute, just minute,
I have only got a minute that is all the time
I have to sing this tiny minute waltz
It isn't easy but I'll try it
Than I gotta say goodbye
But first I take a minute
And put in it every note that Chopin wrote
and I shall sing the little minute waltz
And hope that I can sing with no faults
and though it's difficult
I'll give it every gust of air I got within in my body
Hope that my performance will be very shiny
Singing every note will not do wonders for my throat
I probably will end up hoarse
Of course I will have done it
And a will for that I made
That what I want is not the money
but the satisfaction that I get
from winning money on this silly kind of bet
Though this kind of solo wasn't his intention
Chopin isn't here to make an intervention
So with your permission and no intermission
I will sing each note that that composer wrote
as you can hear my trilling isn't very thrilling
but no one can say I wasn't very willing
to attempt a thing that's not been done
and just for fun to sing the minute waltz
As I sing the seconds fly, oh too soon the minute waltzes by
And now I ask you where am I halfway through the tune
and I'm falling far behind
I have less than 30 seconds
less than 30 seconds
less than 30
less than half a minute
I have less than 30 seconds
I have less than half a minute
to complete this little minute waltz
And every note that's its score
While the sands of time I know are pouring
Let me win my bet and I'll run with the money
Down to some drug store whare I will buy a honey
Or a trophy for myself to put upon a shelf to show the world I've won
Oh the second hand is rushing round the dial
And though I'd like to end this torture with a smile
Unless someone knows how to stop the clock
you gonna see me cry before I said goodbye
Eight little measures to complete this song
But I'm afraid my little lungs will burst before to long if
Only I can last the scale
I won't have failed to sing the minute waltz!

"The Morning After"

"The Morning After"



The sky is black
The ground is red
The streets of hate
Are charred and dead
The war stand out
Against the sky
And crowds appear
To wonder why
The morning after
We ask for right questions
The morning after
We make the suggestions
We've gotta make changes
When I'm going to wait
But the morning after is too late
The shell that's left is still a cage
The flames have not consumed the rage
And men who souls are trapped and slumped
Will wait until the next time comes
The morning after
We ask for right questions
The morning after
We make the suggestions
We gotta make changes
When I'm going to wait
But the morning after
Is too late...

"The Music Of The Night"
(feat. Michael Crawford)

"The Music Of The Night"
(feat. Michael Crawford)



[Michael:]
Night-time sharpens,
Heightens each sensation . . .
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I composed the music of the night!

[Barbra:]
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.

[Both:]
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving,
Hard as lightning, soft as candle light,

[Michael:]
There you trust the music of the night...

[Barbra:]
Close your eyes,
For your eyes will only tell the truth,

[Both:]
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
That the truth is what it ought to be...

[Michael:]
Softly,

[Barbra:]
Deafening,

[Both:]
Music shall caress you.

[Barbra:]
Hear it,

[Michael:]
Feel it,

[Both:]
Secretly posses you...
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight,
The darkness of the music of the night...

Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes and let music set you free!

Only then can you belong to me...

Floating (floating), falling (falling)
Sweet intoxication!
Touch me (touch me), trust me (trust me)
Savour each sensation!

Let the dream begin,
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write,
The power of the music of the night!

[Barbra:]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Ah-ah-ah...
Aaaaaaaaaah...oooh...

[Michael:]
You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night...

[Barbra:]
Help me make the music of the night...

"The Music That Makes Me Dance"

"The Music That Makes Me Dance"


[Trying to help, Fanny puts up $20,000 so that Nick
can become a theatrical agent, but he sees through
her ploy and it angers and humiliates him. Desperate
for money, he agrees to participate in a fraudulent
bond deal and is arrested for embezzlement.
Fanny realizes that somehow she has driven Nick to this:]

I add two and two, the most simple addition,
Then swear that the figures are lying,
I'm a much better comic than mathematician
'Cause I'm better on stage than at intermission,
And as far as the man is concerned,
If I've been burned,
I haven't learned.
I know he's around when the sky and the ground start in ringing,
I know that he's near by the thunder I hear in advance,
His words--his words alone--are the words that can start my heart singing,
And his is the only music that makes me dance.

He'll sleep and he'll rise, in the light of two eyes that adore him.
Bore him it might, but he won't leave my sight for a glance.
In ev'ry way, ev'ry day, I need less of myself and need more him--more him,
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance,
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance.

"The Nearness Of You"

"The Nearness Of You"



It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you
Isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation,
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you

When I'm in your arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

"The Places You Find Love"

"The Places You Find Love"



It was raining when I met you
You were soaking wet
No time to be impressed
I remember so much later on
I knew that you were someone
I would not forget
Everybody's searching, hungry for the glamour
You know too many hearts are in a rush
No matter how you try to
You can't explain
The places you find love
I can't explain it, but I can feel it
All around me
The need to find the place
Where feeling can be safe
It's not money that buys happiness
No, it's not the shine of silver that puts the heart to rest
Everybody's pushing
The clock is always running and
No one ever seems to have enough
And when you least expect it
You come upon the places you find love-love-love
Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah
It's a river never stopping
Winding in and out
But you should never doubt
It will lead you
To the ocean someday
There's no way to fight it
Let it carry you away
Everybody's dreaming waiting for the feeling
That moment when they finally rise above
But it's always in the giving
That gets you to the places you find love-love
Remember in the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive-yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up-no,
'Cause they still believe in love, sweet love
Love, love, love, love, love
Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart-yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you
Like a million tiny stars
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
Seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive-yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up-no
They still believe in love-sweet love
In a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive-year, yeah...

"The Same Hello, The Same Goodbye"

"The Same Hello, The Same Goodbye"



The same hello, a smile and then we knew at once
That here we are involved again
The same hello and all the things we said
We couldn't bare again are there again

The glow is there, can we pretend
That once again we have a million dreams to spend?
We let it go, it slipped away
How silently two hearts can start to fall apart?

I can't deny I've tried another's arms
And maybe you have too
But even lost inside another's arms
I knew it wasn't you

No fond farewell, no sweet goodbye
Just empty feelings coupled with the wondering why
What words we said or left unsaid
Imagining what could have been or should have been

But here we are, we've come so far
Must you and I say the same goodbye again?

No fond farewell, no sweet goodbye
Just empty feelings coupled with the wondering why
What words we said or left unsaid
Imagining what could have been or should have been

But here we are, we've come so far
Will you and I say the same goodbye again?
