"The Woman In The Moon"

"The Woman In The Moon"



I was warned as a child of thirteen
Not to act too strong
Try to look like you belong bur don't push girl
Save your time and trouble
Don't misbehave
I was raised in a "No You Don't World"
Overrun with rules
Memorize your lines and move as directed
That's an age old story
Everybody knows that's a worn out song
But you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from the woman
I said the woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'Cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman in the moon
I believe there's a best of both worlds
Mixing old and new
Recognizing change is seldom expected
As I long suspected
They believed that strange was a word for wrong
Well not in my song
'Cause you, you and I are changing that tune
We're learning new rhythms from that woman in the moon
Little sister, little brother
Keep on pushin'
Don't believe a word about
Things you heard about
Askin' too much too soon
'Cause they can hold back the tide
But they can never hold the woman
I said the woman in the moon...

"The World Is A Concerto / Make Your Own Kind Of Music"

"The World Is A Concerto / Make Your Own Kind Of Music"



The world is made of music
Never ending symphonies of sound surround us
Miracles of melodies abound around us too
It's a musical world
It is a musical world, and the possibilities of making music are
Infinite. So with your kind indulgence and my kind permission we
Would like to present a premiere performance of a new work concerto
For voice and appliances...

The world is a concerto
Each day begins with music
In the air
The world is a concerto
Oh hear the music bubbling everywhere
The whole wide world is whistling
The heavens hum along
All blending in a never ending song
The world is a concerto
A song in which each singer has a part
A classical concerto
A rhapsody that's ringing through my heart
I feel the cleansing power
I tremble breathlessly
In keeping with the sweeping melody
So for me
Make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
It's a musical world
It's a musical world
It's a musical world

"This Is One Of Those Moments"

"This Is One Of Those Moments"


[She joins a group of students on their way
To a Yeshiva in Bechv where she is tested
By the Rabbi. He is impressed with Yentl's
Knowledge and admits "him" as a student.]

There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream,
Of all your life.
This is one of those moments.
I will always remember this chair,
That window, the way the light streams in.
The clothes I'm wearing,
The words I'm hearing,
The face I'm seeing,
The feeling I'm feeling,
The smell, the sounds, will be written
On my mind, will be written in my heart
As long as I live!
I can, travel the past and take what I need
To see me through the years
What my father learned and his
Father before him will be there
For my eyes and ears.
I can walk through the forests
Of the trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves.
I can enter rooms
Were there are rooms within rooms
Wrapped in the shawl that learning weaves.
I remember, Papa-everything you taught me
What you gave me, Papa-
Look at what it's brought me
There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
And now they're about to be mine!
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away...
I can open doors and take from the shelves
All the books I've longed to hold
I can ask all the questions,
The whys and the wheres
As the mysteries of life unfold
Like a link in a chain
From the past to the future
That joins me with the children yet to be,
I can now be a part
Of the ongoing stream,
That has always been a part of me!
There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away-
No wave can wash away-
No wind can blow away-
No tide can turn away-
No fire can burn away-
No time can wear away-
And now they're about to be mine!
There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for
And dream, of all your life.
This is one of those moments!

"Till I Loved You"
(feat. Don Johnson)

"Till I Loved You"
(feat. Don Johnson)



Nothing lived, nothing grew
Till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
You were my friend, good friend
And sometimes I would wonder
Could the one to save me
Possibly be you?
I was lost, I was blind
Till I loved you
Wouldn't see, couldn't find someone new
You were my friend, dear friend
I held you close to my heart
But I never thought that I'd feel the way I do
Until that certain moment when I loved you
And now I can't ever imagine
My living without you
It seems I spend all of my time
Thinking only about you
Once I dreamed in a dream I would find you
Never thought that the dream would come true
Until that curtain lifted, parted, drifted from you
Until that certain moment when I loved you
Until that certain moment
Certain moment when I loved you
When I loved you
Nothing lived, nothing grew
Till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
Empty days, empty nights
Sometimes I wonder
Could the one to save me possibly be you?
Ooooohh I was lost, I was blind till I found you
Couldn't see, couldn't find someone new
You came along, stole my heart completely
And I thought, could the one to save me possibly be you?

"Time And Love"

"Time And Love"



Winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring
So he swears he'll never marry
Says that cuddles are a curse
Just tell him plain
You're on the next train
If love don't get there first
Time and love
Everybody
Time and love
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like
Time and love
(Nothing cures like
Time and love)
Winter froze the river
And winter birds don't sing
So winter makes you shiver
So time is gonna bring you spring
You've been running
You've been rambling
And you don't know what to do
A holly golden wager says
That love will see you through
Time and love, everybody
Time and love (Oh, time and love)
Nothing cures like time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like
Time and love
(Nothing cures like
Time and love)
Jesus wasn't angel
The mankind broke His wing
But Jesus gave His lifeline
So sacred bell could sing
Now a woman is a fighter
Gather white or African
A woman is a woman, inside
Has miracles for men at night
Time and love, everybody
Time and love (Oh, Time and love)
Nothing cures like
Time and love
Don't let the devil fool you
Here comes a dove
Nothing cures like time and love
Nothing cures like time and love
(Love for the man if you please if you can)
Nothing cures like time and love
Love for the man
If you can, if you please...

"Time Machine"

"Time Machine"



I remember when my voice was never heard
Many listened but they never heard the words
In my mind I can travel back in time
Relive the memories that kept my faith alive
In every heart there's a time machine
If you believe in your memory
Trace every place you've been
You'll know what it means
In every heart beats a time machine
Where you can be what you want to be
Love is your memory
You can relive your life
Looking back on all the changes I have made
I may have stumbled but
I never lost my way
Now I feel all the world is on my side
When I remember there's
A special place inside
In every heart there's a time machine
If you believe in your memory
Trace every place you've been
You know what it means
In every heart beats a time machine
Where you can be what you want to be
Love is your memory
You can relive your life
Now that your eyes are open
You can explore each moment
For you are the only one
That know where your life should lead
In my mind I can travel back in time
Relive the memories that kept my faith alive
(In every heart there's a time machine
If you believe in your memories)
Trace every place you've been you'll know what it means
In every heart beats a time machine
Where you can be what you want to be
Love is your memory
You can relive your life
(In every heart there's a time machine
If you believe in your memories
Trace every place you've been you'll know what it means )
In every heart there's a time machine (in every heart beats a time machine)
Where you can be what you want to be ( where you can be what you want to be)
(Love is your memory)
In every heart...(heart) heart (heart)

"Tomorrow"

"Tomorrow"



The sun'll come out tomorrow,
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun
Just thinking about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow till there's none
When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say... Oh!
The sun'll come out tomorrow,
So you got to hang on till tomorrow, came what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away...
I just stick out my chin and grin and say
The sun'll come out tomorrow
So you got to hang on till tomorrow, came what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away...
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away
Dah dah dah... Mmm...

"Tomorrow Night"

"Tomorrow Night"


[Yentl finds herself in an impossible situation-and yet nothing's impossible!]

Look at me-I must be absolutely crazy!
How did 1 ever let it get this far?
Look at me! I'm getting deeper into trouble.
Am I woman or a man?
Am I a devil or a demon?
Papa was right!
I ask too many questions.
He said a soul can get perplexed-
I can't believe what happens next!
Papa was right!
It seems this little game I play
Becomes more risky every day!
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
Under the canopy
I'll stand with her tomorrow night!
And place a ring upon her hand
With her all dressed in white
Tomorrow night
I don't know how this came about
But I'll be wed without a doubt.
Oh, my God, I've got to get out!
Look at this-The way one lie begets another
Somebody wake me up and say
It's all a dream!
(Look at this!)
Look how easily I fool them
They may have eyes but they don't see
They never really look at me
People are blind!
How else would everyone believe me?
It might be interesting to know
Just how much further I can go
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
I can't believe what I'll presume to be
Tomorrow night,
I'm not the bride but I'm the groom to be
Tomorrow night,
And that's a monumental trick
I'd better think of something quick
(Oh, my God, I'm feeling sick!
I could run away
I could leave without a trace,
Go anywhere or any place
Where no one knows my face.
As a woman or a man?
I don't know just so I can
Run away-run away!
I'd be free-I'd be rid of all of this
But there's someone I would miss
And being near him is what this is all about!
So running away is out!
Papa dear, you dreamed of dancing
At my wedding;
But something tells me that I'm right
You wouldn't want to dance tonight!
Isn't this a strangely logical solution?
Things may not be as they appear
But the advantages are clear:
He loves her-she loves him
He likes me-I like her
And I've reasons to think she likes me.
She keeps him-he keeps her
I keep things as they were
It's a perfect arrangement for three!
Who'd have ever predicted
The moment would come
When I'd find myself grateful
They've kept women dumb!
She's an innocent maiden
But then so am I!
That's why it's possible I could get by.
Look, I've seen the impossible happen before,
So maybe, God willing, it'll happen once more.
For I feel like a train on a perilous track.
With no way to stop and no way to go back.
Like a snowball that's gathering speed down a hill,
Going faster and faster and faster until...
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
Even if someone would pray for me
Tomorrow night,
There's not a prayer
That they could say for me
Tomorrow night,
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night...
Tomorrow night...is now tonight!

"Try To Win A Friend"

"Try To Win A Friend"



When it's over, really over,
There ain't nothin' can start it over again.
Pack your bags and leave, ain't no use to grieve.
Though you've lost a lover, try to win a friend.

The partings easier when there are smiles instead of tears.
In your dreams you see that moment even if you live a million years.
Shake hands goodbye then, for remember when;
Though you've lost a lover, try to win a friend.

Let him go home, and cry your eyes out,
You'll only feel a little better.
Try to keep your body busy and let your mind forget him.

'Cause when it's over, really over,
There ain't nothin' can start it over again.
Shake hands goodbye then, for remember when;
Though you've lost a lover, try to win a friend.

Though you leave behind a lover,
Leave behind a friend.

Try to win a friend.

"Two People"

"Two People"



Two people
Like two children
We're holding back
We're holding on
Two children
Frightened of new places
Of getting lost
Of being found
Running, hiding
Somehow afraid of love
Playing in the sunlight
And shade of love
Games we play too well
Like two children
Isn't it time
Time we throw all our toys away
So that our love can grow
Day by day
We're two people trying to leave
What belongs to some far-off past
Ready to find the love that will last
Are you the one who can free
The child in me...
