"Send In The Clowns"

"Send In The Clowns"
(originally by Stephen Sondheim)



Isn't it riche?
Are we a pare?
Me here at last on the ground
You in me there
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around?
One who can't move?
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped
Opening doors
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines
No one is there

Don't you love fuss?
My fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear
But where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother there here

Isn't it riche?
Isn't it quirt?
Losing my timing this late
In my career
And where are the clowns
There are to be clowns
Well maybe next year

"Show Must Go On"

"Show Must Go On"



This one I'll never sell, they'll never understand
I don't even sing it well, I try but I just can't
But I sing it every night and I fight to keep it in
Cause this one's for you, this one's for you

I've done a hundred songs from fantasies to lies
But this one's so real for me that I'm that one who cries
And I sing it every night and I fight to hide the tears
Cause this one's for you, this one's for you

This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have, this one's for you. Oh-uh-oh

I've got it all, it seems, for all it means to me
But I sing of things I miss and things that used to be
And I wonder every night, if you might just miss me too
And I sing for you, I sing for you

This one's for you wherever I go
To say the things I should have said, things that you should know
This one's to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing 'cause this one's for you. Oh-uh-oh

This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart. Oh
This one's for all the love we once knew

"Silly Love Songs"

"Silly Love Songs"



You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, now can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me, now can't you see,
What's wrong with that?
I need to know, 'cause here I go again

I love you
I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, love isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.

(I love you)
I love you
I love you
I love you

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?
Ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?

"Sing"

"Sing"



Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not

Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

"Slave To The Rhythm"
(originally by Grace Jones)

"Slave To The Rhythm"
(originally by Grace Jones)



Work all day as men who know
Wheels must turn to keep the flow
Build on up, don't break the chain
Sparks will fly when the whistle blows
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Work to the rhythm, live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, slave to the rhythm

Axe to wood in ancient times
Man machine, power line
Fires burn, hearts beat strong
Sing out loud the chain gang song
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)
Never stop the action - keep it up (keep it up)

Breathe to the rhythm, dance to the rhythm
Work to the rhythm, live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, be slave the rhythm

This is my life, and I am what I am

Slave to the rhythm, and you walk to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, slave to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm, be a slave to the rhythm
(keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up)

"So In Love"

"So In Love"



Strange dear, but true, dear
When I'm close to you, dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am I

Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know, darling, why
So in love with you am I

In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you could care

So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours 'til I die
So in love
So in love
So in love with you, my love, am I

"Softly As I Leave You"

"Softly As I Leave You"



Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Softly, as I leave you there

Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Softly, as I leave you there

"Solitaire"

"Solitaire"



There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
Until it died in his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaire
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh

And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire

"Someday"

"Someday"



Someday

Rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay

Safely behind what we're keeping
You'll seem

Warmer than I had remembered you
Lying so close

I'll be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave
One day

When I am able to love you
I'll come

Back from wherever I've been to
I'll see you

Looking the same as you always have
Lovely, so lovely, I'll cling

To the love you give
So I'll start to live
Someday is coming

If I believe it
Someday always brings

The good life you knew

Ever back to you
How I need you
Someday

All I can give you is someday
Someday

All I can offer is someday
Please say

That you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss

To keep what you are

Always close to me
Ooh I need you
Someday

All I can give you is someday
Someday

All I can offer is someday
Please say

That you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss

To keep what you are

Always close to me
Someday

"Somehow"

"Somehow"



You are what you are
It was, what it was
The world didn't end
The world never does
I wake up alive
From habit I guess
Yes, I can survive, one love more or less
And sometime, somewhere, somehow
I laugh all my laughter
I've cried my tears now
I want my years now
My years
I've nowhere to go
That I have to be
There's no one I know
Who's waiting for me
There's so much inside
I still have to give
So much to be tried
A life time to live
And sometime, somewhere, somehow
I'll have my tomorrow
Today won't stop me
No way to stop me
Not now
The world still holds me
I want what's due now
If not with you now
Then someone, sometime, somehow
