"Vehicle"

"Vehicle"



Hey well
I'm a friendly stranger in a black sedan
Won't you hop inside my car.
I got pictures, got candy

I'm a loveable man
And I can take you to the nearest star.
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.

I'm your vehicle woman
But I'm not sure you know
That I love ya
I need ya

I want ya,
Got to have you child,
Great God in heaven you know I love you.
Well if you want to be a movie star

I'll get a ticket to Hollywood.
But if you want to stay just the way you are
You know I think you really should.
I'm your vehicle baby

I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.
I'm your vehicle woman
But I'm not sure you know
That I love ya

I need ya
I want ya,
Got to have you child,
Great God in heaven you know I love you.

Hey well
I'm a friendly stranger in a black sedan
Won't you hop inside my car.
I got pictures, got candy

I'm a loveable man
And I can take you to the nearest star.
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.

I'm your vehicle woman
But I'm not sure you know
That I love ya
I need ya

I want ya,
Got to have you child,
Great God in heaven you know I love you.
And I'm your vehicle babe.

You know
I love ya
I need ya
I want ya,

Got to have you child,
Great God in heaven you know I love you.

"We Don't Cry Out Loud"

"We Don't Cry Out Loud"



Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire

I know a lot about her 'cause you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don't cry out loud just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud and if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter

But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher, that was me

Don't cry out loud just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud and if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loud just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud and if you should fall
Remember you almost made it

Don't cry out loud just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud and if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

"We'll Keep A Welcome"
(duet with Bryn Terfel)

"We'll Keep A Welcome"
(duet with Bryn Terfel)



Far away a voice is calling
Bells of memory chime
Come home again,come home again
They call through the oceans of time

We'll keep a welcome in the hillside
We'll keep a welcome in the Vales
This land you knew will still be singing
When you come home again to Wales

This land of song will keep a welcome
And with a love that never fails
We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth
When you come home again to Wales

We'll keep a welcome in the hillside
We'll keep a welcome in the Vales
This land you knew will still be singing
When you come home again to Wales

Shirley Bassey together with the choir:
This land of song will keep a welcome
And with a love that never fails
We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth
When you come home again to Wales

We'll kiss away each hour of hiraeth
When you come home again to Wales

"We've Got Tonight"

"We've Got Tonight"



I know it's late,I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from
All that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like
Everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching,
After today
So that there it is
We've got it all now
And here we are
What do you say?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?

"What About Today?"

"What About Today?"



The tears I'm shedding now
I hear will dry in time
The fears I'm fearing now

I hear will die in time
But while I wait around for tomorrow
Watching life drift away

What about, yes, what about Today?
I know if I just wait
The sun will shine some day
And when it does

The weather will be fine someday
And while the skies I search for tomorrow
Stay that same shade of gray

What about, yes, what about today?
Till nirvana comes
What about today?
Till messiah comes

What about today?
Till the mountains move
And oceans part and angels sing
And life can start

What about, yes what about Today?
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for

If it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today?
What about today?

Till nirvana comes
What about today?
Till Messiah comes

What about today?
Till the mountains move
And oceans part and angels sing
And life can start

What about, yes what about today?
I can't help wondering
If tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for

If it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today? What about today?
What about, yes, what about today?

"What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?"

"What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?"



I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me

All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two

Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

"What I Did For Love"

"What I Did For Love"



Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck, the same to you.
But I can't regret
What I did for love, what I did for love.
Look my eyes are dry.
The gift was ours to borrow.
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't forget what I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone,
Love is never gone.
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember.
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for
Love

What I did for
Love

Love
Love is never gone
As we travel one
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye.
And point me t'ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do.
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love.
What I did for love.
What I did for love

"What Now My Love"

"What Now My Love"



What now my love
Now that you've left me
How can I live through another day?
Watching my dreams turn into ashes
And my hopes in to bits of clay

Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am none
I become unreal
I walk the night without a goal
Stripped of my heart, my soul

What now my love
Now that it's over?
I feel the world closing in on me
Here comes the stars' tumbling around me
There is the sky where the sea should be.

What now my love
Now that you're gone?
I'd be a fool to gone on and on
No one would care
No one would cry
If I should live
Or die.

What now my love
Now there is nothing?
Only my last goodbye.

"When I Need You"
(originally by Albert Hammond)

"When I Need You"
(originally by Albert Hammond)



When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heartbeat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

Miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the
Place of your smile
But you know I won't be traveling forever
It's cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
Is only a heart beat away

It's not easy when the
Road is your driver
That's a heavy load that we bear

But you know I won't be
Traveling a lifetime
Its cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
I need you

When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
Never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day

But you know I won't be
Traveling a lifetime
Its cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
Its cold out, but hold out
And do like I do
I need you

"When You Smile"

"When You Smile"



When you smile I can see you were born
Born for me and for me you will be, do or die
Oh, baby, let me hold you
You make me want to hold you
When you smile, smile, smile
Smile, smile, smile, smile

When you smile, I can see there is hope
Hope for me and for you , if you know what I mean
I'm gonna sock it to you I'm gonna rock it to you
Every time, time, time, time, time

When you smile, I can see
You and me, me and you
There is love in your eyes
When you smile
Oh, baby let me love you

You gotta let me love you
When you smile, smile, smile
Smile, smile, smile, smile
La la la, la la la

When you smile I can see you were born
Born for me and for me you will be, do or die
Oh, baby let me hold you
You make me want to hold you
When you smile, smile, smile
Smile, smile, smile, smile
La la la, la la la
