If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Baby bring it to me

Bring it on home to me yea

"Call My Name"

"Call My Name"


You and I sailed away to a place
We once called paradise
We were young and deep in our love
And we never needed lies

So here we stand face to face
Knowing we've drifted apart
As for myself, there'll be nobody else
Who'll ever touch this place in my heart

[Chorus:]
You just call my name
And I'll come runnin' for you in the night
Just call my name
And I'll come runnin' right back into your life
If you ever need my love, call my name

Will ya call the love we shared
Just a moment passing in time
It was a moment I can never forget
And a love that was so hard to find

There are no chains to hold you down
I told you a long time ago
If the time has come for movin' on
There's one thing I need you to know

[Chorus]

If you feel you need my love
And it's time we start over again

[Chorus]

"Can I Touch You There"

"Can I Touch You There"


Baby, show me what you feel
Come to me, show me somethin' real
I need to know, I need you completely
Closer baby closer, come on let's begin
Love is takin' over, gotta let it in
Ooh I need to feel the heart of you
Need to reach the very deepest part of you

[Chorus:]
Can I touch you there, touch you deep inside
Can I touch your heart, the way you're touchin' 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 darlin'
Every deep desire, till you and I are makin' love completely
Closer baby closer, can't be close enough
I can't help the way I hold you
I just hunger for your love
Ooh and I need to feel the heart of you
Need to reach the very deepest part of you

[Chorus]

All I wanna do is touch ya baby
Touch the very soul inside of you
Ooh and I need to feel the heart of you
Need to reach the very deepest part of you
Let me be the one to show you just what love can do

[Chorus]

Why don't you warm up these lips,
With your fingertips
Oh my body just aches at the thought of you saying,
Good-bye

You know that I can't pretend, is this the end? it feels so right
So

"Can't Get Close Enough To You"

"Can't Get Close Enough To You"


Lived my life and walked it alone
All my time and my heart was my own, for so long
I held the key to everything I'd need
Every dream, so sure that I'd succeed
'Cause I was strong, so strong
I swear that it was true, till the day that I found you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have ya done to me, baby

[Chorus 1:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
I've got no control
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you

Time goes by and it grows stronger still
With a smile I surrender my will, I'm on my knees
Passion's taken me so far across the line
All power of reason is no longer mine
I'm just waitin' to please
What else can I do, I'm forever wantin' you
Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
What have you done to me

[Chorus 1]

Baby, you're the last thing that I had planned
Got me livin' in the palm of your hand
The more I have of you the less I understand
How ya give me so much
And I just never get enough
Can't get close enough, baby
What have you done to me, baby

[Chorus 2:]
Look where you are, here in my arms
Filling my heart with your love
But I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Still I can't get close enough to you

Come to me, breakin' me, showin' me no mercy
Filling my heart with your love
Still I can't get close enough to you
God only knows
You shake my soul when we touch
Can't get close enough to you
Can't get close enough to you, baby
Here in my arms

"Can't Hold On, Can't Let Go"

"Can't Hold On, Can't Let Go"


Every time I think of you
My heart starts movin' like a freight train
And having you is tearing me apart
I don't really need the pain, no

Sometimes I feel like leavin' for good
But I'm a fool who wouldn't leave you
Even if I could

[Chorus:]
(Can't hold on, can't let go)
Can't hold on, can't let go
(Can't hold on, can't let go)
I can't hold on, I can't let go

Every time you touch me, well you know
I feel the blood rushing through my veins
Girl you mean so much to me, that's the reason
Why you're driving me insane

Ooh, every night I'm losin' too much sleep
I can't give up, 'cause now I'm in too deep with you

[Chorus]

I can't live with you, I can't live without you
I still don't know just what I'm going to do about you
Heart to heart, I'd never run away
It's time to part, but I can't say good-bye

I love you so much(can't hold on)
Need you so much(can't let go)
But you're tearing me apart(can't hold on)
oh(can't let go)can't let go
(Can't hold on)can't let go
(Can't let go)oh no no

"Can't Turn It Off"

"Can't Turn It Off"


I can't get you back, but I can't turn away from you
Our love is a fact
Though I've tried to deny it, like you wanted me to
I brake on the streets
The people they stop and stare
Was it only a dream, you said you must leave
So why do you follow me everywhere

I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell

[Chorus:]
Can't turn it off, can't turn it off, I said
I can't turn it off, why do you follow me
Can't turn it off, ya turned it on and now I
Can't turn it off

If I'm goin' down, I'm sure to go down in flames
I wait for your sound
I look for you now and I can't hold you to blame

I know you feel guilty, for things we've said and done
To you I'm a moment of fire in your life
But it's different for me, you're the only one

I run for my life, can't break away from your spell
Ya know it cuts deep inside, oh it's like heaven and hell

[Chorus]

The sound of your voice is all I can hear
I still see your face, it's all I can bear
Knowing wherever I run, you'll always be there

[Chorus]

"Carrie"

"Carrie"


Carrie is a girl disillusioned by the world and her crazy man
So she takes her vows and she swears no matter how she'll never fall again
Carrie, who can blame you if you find some kind of refuge in your solitude
But there's gotta come a time when your passion for your freedom makes a slave of you
She said wait, wait, wait

[Chorus:]
Carrie don't you run, Carrie don't you run, Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside
Carrie don't you run, Carrie don't you run, Carrie, Carrie, don't you hide
What's going on inside

Carrie once again in the company of friends 'Cause she's so alone
Ever so aware of a part of her that no one's ever really known
There will come a day when she'll find a way to fade into the scenery
Carrie are you alive or just going through the motions like you seem to be
She lives in a dream to wait for a dream who waits for tomorrow
She said wait, wait, wait
Now Carrie don't you fight it, no don't even try
'Cause in your heart what's been decided just will not be denied
Am I getting through to you all I wanna do for you, is take you for a ride
Oh Carrie, Carrie, Carrie

[Chorus]

Carrie don't you run, Carrie don't you run

"Celeste Aida"
(from Verdi's "Aida")



[The ethiopians have been defeated in battle. Aida, their princess, has been enslaved by the victorious egyptians, though her identity is not known to them. The egyptian general Radames falls in love with the beautiful Aida and dreams of setting her upon a throne.]

Celeste aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!

[Translation:]

Heavenly Aida

Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty,
Garland of flowers and of bright light.
You are the ruler of all my thoughts,
You are the splendor of my whole life.
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies,
To the soft breezes of your native land.
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown,
And build you a throne close to the sun!

"Che Gelida Manina"
(from Puccini's "La Boheme")

"Che Gelida Manina"
(from Puccini's "La Boheme")



[It is christmas eve on Paris' left bank. Rodolpho is at home writing when a stranger knocks at the door. It is Mimi, a neighbor, who needs to borrow a match to relight her candle. Mimi is barely out the door, when she realizes she has lost her key. As they search for it, Rodolpho's hand falls upon hers.]

Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova?
Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna
e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna l'abbiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina,
le diro con due parole chi son,
chi son, e che faccio, come vivo,
Vuole?

Chi son? Chi son? son un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverta mia lieta
scialo da gran signore
rimi ed inni d'amore,
Per sogni e per chimere
e per castelli in aria
l'anima ho milionaria.
Talor del mio forziere
ruban tutti i gioelli
due ladri:gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora
ed i miei sogni usati,
ed i bei sogni miei
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora
poiche,poiche v'ha preso stanza
la speranza.
Or che mi conoscete
parlate voi. Deh parlate.
Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?

[Translation:]

How Cold Your Little Hand Is

How cold your little hand is!
Will you let me warm it for you?
Why bother looking?
It's dark, and we won't find it.
It's our good luck though,
this night's filled with moonlight,
up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.
Please wait, my dear young lady,
and I will quickly tell you who stands before you, and
what I do, how I make my living.
May I?

Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.
What keeps me busy? Writing!
And what do I live on? Nothing!
In poverty I'm cheerful,
I am a prince who squanders
arias and couplets of longing.
And as for hopes and dreams of love
and castles-in-the-air, Miss-
I am a millionaire!
My fortress could be broken in,
robbed clean of the fine jewels I store-
if the thieves were eyes like yours.
And now that I have seen you,
all of my lovely dreaming,
all of the sweetest dreams I've dreamt,
quickly have slipped away.
This theft does not upset me,
because such treasures mean nothing
now that I'm rich with sweet hope!
And now that you have met me,
I ask you please,
Tell me, lady, who you are, I ask you please!
