"Night And Day"

"Night And Day"



Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night

Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
Silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night

Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day

"Not Made Of Steel"

"Not Made Of Steel"


Under the endless sky
Beneath a million stars
Within the course of a lifetime
How very young we are

As I stumble on this journey
Along the road to what is real
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel

With all the lessons of my learning
And the strength that I possess
Still there are mountains I wish I was moving
That take much more than my best

There are plans beyond my power
There are dreams beyond my reach

Oh these eyes deceive the words I speak
Don't tell the story inside
So don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my pride

[Chorus:]
I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of stone
I can't be anything more than I'm made of
Move heaven and earth on my own

I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel

They teach you well to wear your armor
But what you've learned is just a lie
And there's a price to be paid for denying
With every tear you never cry
Don't ever show, don't let them know
The heart you never reveal
Don't ask me why don't make me hide
The pain you don't think I can feel

[Chorus]

I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I can bend I can break I can feel
I'm not made of steel

Oh don't believe the face you see
It's only the face of my ...only the face of my pride

[Chorus]

I'm only a man
Flesh and blood is all I am
You think I can carry the world on my shoulders
That don't mean that I can
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone
I'm not made of steel, I'm not made of stone

"Now That I Found You"

"Now That I Found You"


I can still remember
When all I had was time
A time when I had nothin'
But this empty heart of mine
When I needed inspiration
When the night was all I knew
You were the light shinin' into my life
The reason for all the love I'm feelin'

[Chorus:]
Now that I've found you
I don't know how I lived without you
I don't know how I survived without your love
Now that I've found you
I only know I'd be lost without you
I found the love
That I'll never find again
'Cause all I ever needed
And all I ever wanted
Has come true
I found it all now that I've found you

I could've searched forever
And never realized
The treasure of a lifetime
Was the love inside your eyes
When I reach for inspiration
In your touch, it's always there
Givin' me faith every step of the way
Givin' me all I ever needed

[Chorus]

And every step of the way
Gonna dedicate my heart to you
Promise you my world forever
Pledgin' my love my whole life through

"O Holy Night"

"O Holy Night"


The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviours' birth

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its' worth

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine
[Repeat]

"O Soave Fanciulla"
(from Puccini's "La Boheme")

"O Soave Fanciulla"
(from Puccini's "La Boheme")



[Mimi and Rodolfo are getting acquainted fast. Outside, Rodolfo's friends call him to join them. He would rather stay with Mimi, but she shyly suggests they all go out together. "Tell me you love me," he pleads. She hold back, at first, but as this duet ends, they sing together for the first time and their first word is "Love."]

[Rodolfo:]
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar,
in te ravviso il sogno
ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!

[Mimi:]
(Ah, tu sol comandi, amor!)

[Rodolfo:]
Fremon nell'anima
dolcezze esteme, (ecc)
Nel baccio freme amor!

[Mimi:]
(Oh come dolci scendono
le sue lusinghe al cor...
Tu sol comandi, amor!)

[M:] No per pieta!

[R:] Sei mia!

[M:] V'asepttan gli amici...

[R:] Gia mi mandi via?

[M:] Vorrei dir... ma non osso.

[M:] Se venissi con voi?

[R:] Che? Mimi!
Sarebbe cosi dolce restar qui.
C'e freddo fuori.

[M:] Vi staro vicina!

[R:] E al ritorno?

[M:] Curioso!

[R:] Dammi il braccio, o mia piccina...

[M:] Obbedisco, signor!

[R:] Che m'ami...di...

[M:] lo t'amo.

[Rodolfo E Mimi:]
Amor! Amor! Amor!


[Translation:]

Oh Sweet Little Lady

[Rodolfo:]
Oh! sweet little lady! Oh sweetest vision,
with moonlight bathing your pretty face!
The dream that I see in you
is the dream I'll always dream!

[Mimi:]
(Oh, you rule alone, Love!)

[Rodolfo:]
Deep in my soul trembles
the deepest of passions, etc.
Our kisses shudder with love!

[Mimi:]
(How gently now his words of praise
make their way into my heart...
You rule alone, oh love!)

[M:] No, I beg you!

[R:] You're mine now!

[M:] Your friends are still waiting.

[R:] So soon must I leave you?

[M:] I would like...I can't say it...

[R:] Speak!

[M:] What if I went along?

[R:] What? Mimi!
How sweet instead to stay behind here.
It's freezing outside.

[M:] I'd be right beside you!

[R:] What about later?

[M:] Who knows, sir?

[R:] Take my arm, my dear young lady...

[M:] As you say, my dear sir...

[R:] Do you love me, say!

[M:] I certainly do.

[Rodolfo & Mimi:]
Love! Love! Love!

"Once In A Lifetime"

"Once In A Lifetime"


People fill their lives, with empty nights,
And days that slip away
Some search till the end of time, but never find,
The open arms of fate
One moment comes along, someone who's a dream to you,
All at once your dreams come true

[Chorus:]
Once in a lifetime, you find the one you really love
For now and forever, one love that never ends
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading your heart to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime

Some people live their lives in compromise,
And hide their dreams away
Some never take the chance, within their hands,
To claim the prize they make
When faith is all you need, to hold the hand of destiny,
Find the love that's meant to be

[Chorus]

If you believe in the power of love
And you believe that dreams come true
Magic will fill your heart, when that moment comes along
Just once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime, when every star that lights the sky
Will shine with one reason, leading you home to the one love you find
Just once in a lifetime, Just once in a lifetime

"One More Time"

"One More Time"


Don't look back
Don't be scared
We've got dreams and we're still young
Just think about how far we've come
Think of all
We have shared
It's a wonder we survive
But here we are and we're alive!
Can we hold on, hold on?
Take a moment to celebrate
Now before we are gone
Take a moment to celebrate
There's music in the wind
Let's dance one more time
There's a rhythm deep within
Let's dance one more time

One more time
Sing the song
There's a power in our voices
Hopeful and strong

Years from now
Somewhere down the line
We'll remember and we'll all sing
One more time

[Zulu Chant:]
See cel la bo lay la

"Only A Woman Like You"

"Only A Woman Like You"


It's beautiful, your honesty
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear you heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me

It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love

[Chorus:]
Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you

It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me

It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love

[Chorus]

If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed

It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love

[Chorus 2x]

"Our Love Is Like A Holiday"

"Our Love Is Like A Holiday"



Oh yeah
Our love is like a holiday

I know that I let you down in the past
Cause I've got so many places to go
Girl I promise I'll be around give me a chance
Cause I'm singing for you wherever it show

(How can I)
How can it be
(How can I)
I've been so deep
(How can I)
It's hard to believe
This world brought you to me
(Brought you to me)

I've been to Paris, London, LA
I feel the tropical sun in my face
This Christmas we don't need to get away
Cause our love is like a holiday

I'm always calling from a different hotel room
And your voice makes me feel like home
Backstreet I'm waiting just thinking of you, of you
Just lying there sleeping alone

(How can I)
How can it be
(How can I)
I feel you creep into my every dream
I'm coming back on Christmas Eve (on Christmas Eve)

Girl I know you've been waiting for me for much too long
I thank you girl for holding on
Believe me when I tell you there's just one place I know I belong
Girl that's why I loved you to soul

"Paradise"

"Paradise"


The time is right, for the doorway to the open sky
But a moment passing by, we let it slip away
Well we can take the night, to sanctify this burnin'
In an everlasting sight, it's calling us to stay

Here tonight, I can feel the heart of my fantasy
After while, I will reveal the secrets you gave to me
Oh, your love waits so deep for me

[Chorus:]
And it's alright, alright here in paradise
I know it's alright, feels so right here in paradise
It's alright, alright here in paradise
I know it's alright, feels so right here in paradise, yeah

In a world outside, the voice of our insanity
The world in all its' madness, is fading like a memory
I long to hold you now, this love of mine will never die
Till there's no space or time, no distance between you and I

There's a fire in my heart that will burn till I find a way
Here inside we can feel what our words were not meant to say
Our words can't pretend to say

[Chorus]

Here tonight I can feel the heart of my fantasy
After while I'll reveal the secret you gave to me
Why did love wait so deep for me

[Chorus]
