"That's What Friends Are For"

"That's What Friends Are For"

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way I do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so, by the way, I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
For sure
That's what friends are for
For good times, and bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for

In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for

In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forevermore
That's what friends are for

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

The first time ever, I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave to the dark

And the empty skies, my Love
To the dark and the endless skies

The first time ever, I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird that was there

At my command, my Love
That was there at my command

The first time ever, I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last, till the end of time, my love
And would last till the end of time

The first time ever, I saw
Your face, your face
Your face, your face

"The Fool On The Hill"
(originally by The Beatles)

"The Fool On The Hill"
(originally by The Beatles)

Day after day alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

Well on his way his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

Round and round and round
He never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
The don't like him
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning around

"The Greatest Love Of All"

"The Greatest Love Of All"

I believe, that children are the future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how it used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
Never found anyone who fulfilled that need
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at
Least I'll live as I believe
And no matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all

I believe, that children are the future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how it used to be

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at
Least I'll live as I believe
And no matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all

"The Greatest Performance Of My Life"

"The Greatest Performance Of My Life"

Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
And so though it was hard to face our friends I gave a party
I know I meant to show them all I've gotten over you
And though I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces
I had to try to make them think that it was true
So I who had me dance, dance through the night, just like a gypsy
And I who seldom drink, drank like a fish till I was high
And I who hadn't laughed since God knows when, outlaughed Pagliacci
Till they believed it more than even I
Tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
But love if you had been behind the curtain when it fell
When all the lights were out and I was all alone
You would have seen this actress crying
Yes, tonight I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
But love if you had been behind the curtain when it fell
When all the lights were out and I was all alone
You would have seen this actress crying

"The Hungry Years"

"The Hungry Years"

Girl we made it to the top
We went so high we couldn't stop
We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere
Two of us together building castles in the air

We spun so fast we couldn't tell
The gold ring from the carousel
How could we know the right would turn out bad
Everything we wanted, was everything we had

I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way

How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I now hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years

We shared our day dreams one by one
Making plans was so much fun
We set our goals and reached the highest star
Things that we were after were much better from a far

Here we stand just me and you
With everything and nothing too
It wasn't worth the price we had to pay
Honey take me home... Let's go back to yesterday

I miss the hungry years
The once upon a time
The lovely long ago
We didn't have a dime
Those days of me and you
We lost along the way

How could I be so blind
Not to see the door
Closing on the world
I now hunger for
Looking through my tears
I miss the hungry years

I miss the hungry years

"The Impossible Dream"

"The Impossible Dream"

To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear the unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go...
To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from far,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far.
To fight for the rights without question or pause,
To be willing to march to Hell from a Heavenly cause!

And I know, if I'll only be the truth
For this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peacefull and calm when I'm laid to my rest...
And the world will be better for done,
That one man scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable stars!

"The Look Of Love"

"The Look Of Love"

The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
Disguise

The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
And what my heart has heard
Well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight

Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love

Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

"The Magic Is You"

"The Magic Is You"

If I am fancy free,
And love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

There's something calling me
From way out yonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

I've got to give vent to my emotions,
I'm only content havin' my way

There is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

No cares!
No strings!
My heart has wings!

If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

I've got to give vent to my emotions,
I'm only content havin' my way

There is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

No cares!
No strings!
My heart has wings!

If I am fancy free,
And love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

Just the Gypsy in my soul!

"The Nearness Of You"

"The Nearness Of You"

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
