"Stranger In Paradise"
(feat. Andrea Bocelli)

"Stranger In Paradise"
(feat. Andrea Bocelli)



Take my hand,
I'm a stranger in Paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry eyed,
That's a danger in Paradise
Mortals who stand beside
An angels like us

I saw her face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rarest
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that she cares

Won't you answer this fervent prayer?
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this strangers in paradise
And tell us that we need be
Strangers no more

I saw her face
And I ascended
Out of the common place
Into the rarest
Somewhere in space
I hang suspended
Until I know
There's a chance that she cares

Won't you answer this fervent prayer?
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this strangers in paradise
And tell us that we need be
Strangers no more

"Street Of Dreams"

"Street Of Dreams"



Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams

Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams

Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeam

Poor, no one is poor
As long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

"Suddenly"

"Suddenly"



Suddenly the night was very still
Suddenly your touch became a thrill
And suddenly I knew I was part of you
And yet I told my heart, “Be still, be still”
Then suddenly your lips were kissing mine
Suddenly my world became divine
For when I looked around
Then I knew I’d found
Eternity with you so suddenly

Suddenly your lips were kissing mine
Suddenly my world became divine
For when I looked around
Then I knew I’d found
Eternity with you so suddenly

"Sweet Georgie Fame"

"Sweet Georgie Fame"



Words and music are all that I need
I will follow wherever they lead
And I'm finding more fun in the game
A groovy boy has brought us joy, sweet Georgie Fame
Oh, I heard him one night quite by chance
Now wherever I'm walking, I dance
And London is not quite the same
'cause when it sings, the city swings, sweet Georgie Fame

London Bridge is falling down
Pop songs I hear with suspicion
But now at last I'm glad to meet a sweet lovin' real good musician
Oh, from Broadway to Festival Hall
I have listened and I've heard them all
And they say there's a few million dames
That are impressed, their ears are blessed with Georgie Fame

So stay a while, you'll see 'em smile, you won't complain
His hands and feet make music sweet, you'll miss your train
Your goose is cooked, you're gettin' hooked
On Georgie Fame!!!

"Sweet Lorraine"

"Sweet Lorraine"



I've just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine.

A pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer skies
When you see her you will realize,
Why I love my sweet Lorraine.

Now when it's raining I don’t miss the sun
Cuz its in my baby’s smile
And to think that I'm the lucky one,
Who will lead her down the aisle

Each night I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

"Swinging On A Star"

"Swinging On A Star"



Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny - and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy - and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He cant write his name or read a book
And to fool the people is his only thought
Though he slippery - he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star

"Take The Moment"

"Take The Moment"



Take the moment,
Let it happen,
Hug the moment,
Make it last.
Hold the feeling
For the moment
Or the moment
Will have passed.
All the noises
Buzzing in your head,
Warning you to wait,
What for?
Don't listen!
Let it happen,
Take the moment,
Make the moment
Many moments more!
Make for us a thousand more!

"Taking A Chance On Love"

"Taking A Chance On Love"



Here I go again
I hear the trumpets blow again
I'm all aglow again
Taking a chance on love

Here I slide again
About to take the ride again
I'm starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love

Now I thought the cards were a frame up
And I never would try
But now I'm taking the game up
And the Ace of Hearts is high

Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
We're taking a chance

I hear the trumpets blow again
And we're taking a chance
About to take that ride again
Taking a chance

Now I walk around with a horseshoe
And in clover I lie
Mister Rabbit, Mister Rabbit of course you
Better kiss that foot good-bye

I'm on the ball again
Riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance
I'm taking a chance
I'm taking a chance
On love

"Tangerine"

"Tangerine"



South American stories tell of a girl who is quite a dream
The beauty of her race.
Though you'll doubt all the stories and think the tales are just a bit extreme
Wait till you see her face
Ooh, Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night, and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by,
Senoritas stare and cabolleros sigh
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar, across the Argentine
Yes, she's got them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine

"Tea For Two"

"Tea For Two"



I’m discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling, this place is a lover’s oasis
Where life’s weary chase is unknown
Far from the cry of the city
Where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cozy to hide in
To live side by side
Don’t let it abide in my dreams

Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me
Alone

Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won’t have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear

Day will break and you’ll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see

We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Can’t you see how happy we would be
