"Time, Love And Tenderness"

"Time, Love And Tenderness"


So you say that you can't go on
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view

Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain

[Chorus:]
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness

I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever

Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old luck's gonna change

[Chorus]

Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness

Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness

[Chorus]

Baby, oh baby all you need
All you need is time, love and tenderness

"Tired Of Being Alone"

"Tired Of Being Alone"



I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Just as soon as you can

People say that I've found a way
To make you say that you love me
Hey baby, you didn't go for that
It's a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Show me where it's at, baby

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl
Soon as you can

I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Even though you don't want me no more
Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
All through the years
I'll tell ya like it is
Honey, love me if you will

Yeah baby
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Sometimes I wonder
If you love me like you say you do
You see baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah
I been, I been wantin' to get next to you baby
Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm
Yeah baby
Meeting you has proven to me
To be my greatest dream, yeah

Tired, baby
Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about
Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby
Oh baby, baby
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone...

"To Feel Again"

"To Feel Again"



I know I'm old 'til the moment when we dance
I finally realize I'm not so strong
Until my heart have had enough
So I close the door round up
But baby you prove me wrong

Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again

My heart was going through the motion of beating
But I was faking everything breath I take
You taught me with the single kiss
Simple truth I almost miss
What good to heart that can't break

Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
Feel my life begin
Put an end to all this emptiness and let you in
Took me all enough and now that I know
Never got this feeling
Oh baby

Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Cause of you
Baby every way you touch me makes my senses speak
Now I dream in eleven colours
Since you woke me from my sleep
More you give, the more I wonder
Where the hell I've been
Because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again
I can feel

"To Love Somebody"

"To Love Somebody"


There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Ev'rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got

[Chorus:]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you

[Chorus]

Oh yeh
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
To love somebody oh yeh

To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know, you don't know
To love somebody, to love somebody
You don't know, ooh
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you

(from Donizetti's "L'Elisir D'Amore")

"Una Furtiva Lagrima"
(from Donizetti's "L'Elisir D'Amore")



[Nemorino is in love with a wealthy girl, but she says she isn't interested in poor boys like him. Desperate, he buys a "love potion" that only turns out to be cheap red wine. And yet, Nemorino believes the "elixir" will work. When he sees her cry, he knows she has fallen for him at last.]

Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro.
Che piu ceracando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.

Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo.

[Translation:]

One Tear That Falls So Furtively

One tear that falls so furtively
from her sweet eyes has just sprung,
as if she envied all the youths
who laughingly passed her right by.
What could I want more than this?
She loves me! I see it.

One moment just to hear her heart,
beating so close next to mine,
to hear my sighs like they were hers,
her sighings as if they were mine!
Heavens, please take me now:
All that I wanted is mine now!

"Une Femme Comme Toi"

"Une Femme Comme Toi"


Les mots s'envolent quand tu les dis
Et comme une etoile tu fais briller mes nuits
Quand tu devoiles tous les secrets de ton coeur, tout est plus beau dans
ma vie
Dans ta voix juste ta voix, j'entends toujours parler d'amour

[Chorus:]
Il n'y a qu'une femme pour aimer comme ca
Du fond de son ame et de toute sa foi
Il n'y a qu'une femme pour aimer comme ca
Il n'y a qu'une femme comme toi

Comme une idole que l'on supplie, tu m'offres le reve, tu m'offres la
vie
Je ne suis qu'un homme, je n'imaginais pas qu'on pouvait aimer comme ca
Dans tes yeux, just tes yeux, je ne vois que briller l'amour

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Si je voulais trouver les mots qu'il faut pour te dire combien
je t'aime, comment tout en toi me plait
Il y aurait tant de mots a inventer
Dans ta voix, just ta voix, j'entends toujours parler d'amour

[Chorus]

"Vesti La Giubba"
(from Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci")

"Vesti La Giubba"
(from Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci")



[Canio, and his wife, and their troupe perform adulterous comedies in their travelling shows. This time, though, life imitates art. Canio has just been warned that Nedda is in the arms of another man. When Canio arrives, the man is gone. "Tell me his name!" He threatens. Just at that moment, they announce, "It's show time!"]

Recitar!...mentre preso dal delirio
non so piu quel che dico e quel che faccio!
Eppur...e d'uopa...sforzati!
Bah, se tu forse un uom?
Tu se' Pagliaccio!
Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina.
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina,
ridi, Pagliaccio...e ognun applaudira!
Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e'l dolor...
Ridi Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!

[Translation:]

On With The Show

Go on stage, while I'm nearly delirious?
I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, chin up! I'll try harder.
Bah, you think you're a man?
You're just a clown!
On with the show, man, and put on your white-face.
The people pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if Harlequin should steal your Columbine,
laugh, you're Pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you!
Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow,
and with your clown's face hide grief and distress...
Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all your troubles,
Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart.

"Voices That Care"

"Voices That Care"


Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why
You're so far away
There, you had to take a stand
In someone else's land
Life can be so strange

I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
We could find a way
But I won't turn my back again
You're only around the bend
So hurry home till then...till then

[Chorus:]
Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Hurry home

I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before

Just can't let ya feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We send it out to you
(Michaels' solo)
All the courage that you've known
The bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way

We pray, to make the future bright
To make the wrong things right
Right or wrong
We're all prayin' you remain strong
That's why we're all here and singin' along

Voices that care are cryin' out loud, yeah
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

You are the voice, you are the light

Stand tall, stand tall
Stand proud
Voices that care are crying out loud
They're crying out loud
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

Stand tall, stand tall
Voices that care are crying out loud
Ooh, and when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright
You are the voice and the guiding light
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright

"Wait On Love"

"Wait On Love"


Now she's gone, from my life
And it nearly drove me out of my mind
Always thinking what she meant to me
All we left behind
Can't be afraid, startin' over
Gotta get up, start livin' again
When you're drownin' in your loneliness
The hurtin' never ends....
And the night rolls on
I search for some piece of mind
No, I can't be wrong
Won't get burned by desire this time

[Chorus:]
Gonna wait on love, holdin' on till I find the one
Wait on love, won't hold back
I promised myself, till it comes...
Gonna wait on love

Wanna get close with somebody
When a voice says I'm movin' too fast
It's hard to know when to walk away
Or try to make it last......
Still the night rolls on
Secrets are safe in the dark
And I stayed too long
I'm not gonna lie to my heart

[Chorus]

Someone I can run to
Just know that it's right
Trust my heart and soul to
For the rest of my life....
