Why Did I Choose You
Why did I choose you?
What did I see in you?
I saw the heart
You hide so well.
I saw a quiet man
Who had a gentle way
A way that caught me
In its glowing spell.
Why did I want you?
What could you offer me?
A love to last
A lifetime through.
And when I lost my heart
So many years ago
I lost it lovingly
And willingly to you.
If I had to choose again
I would still choose you.
Memory
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves
Collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time
I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again.
Every street lamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning.
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the down comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin.
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is downing.
Touch me
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun.
The Way We Were
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were.
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again,
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were.
The way we were.
Papa, Can You Hear Me?
God - our heavenly Father.
Oh God - and my father
Who is also in heaven.
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul.
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be Frightend?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder.
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone.
Papa, please forgive me.
Try to understand me.
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying
Anything I'm saying.
Even though the night is filled
With voices?
I remember everything you taught me
Every book I've ever read.
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller.
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright.
Papa, how I love you.
Papa, how I need you.
Papa, how I miss you kissing me goodnight.
Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! Come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...
People
People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world,
We're children, needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside,
Acting more like children
Than children.
Lovers are very special people,
They're the luckiest people
In the world.
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half,
Now you're whole.
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person
Who needs people.
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world!
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half,
Now you're whole.
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person
Who needs people.
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world!
Barbra Streisand
Woman In Love
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place.
I kiss the morning goodbye
But down inside you know
We never know why.
The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong.
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all...
I am a woman in love
And I do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?
With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time.
We planned it all at the start
That you and I
Would live in each other's hearts.
We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say.
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all.
I am a woman in love
And I do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?
I am a woman in love
And I'm talking to you
Do you know how it feels?
What a woman can do
It's a right
That I defend over and over again.....
A Piece of Sky
Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is I'm meant to be?
That I can't dare...
It all began the day I found
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky
I stepped outside and looked around
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high
The time had come
(Papa, can you hear me?)
To try my wings
(Papa, are you near me?)
And even though it seemed
At any moment I could fall
I felt the most
(Papa, can you see me?)
Amazing things
(Can you understand me?)
The things you can't imagine
If you've never flown at all
Though it's safer
To stay on the ground
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found
No matter where I go
There'll be mem'ries that tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question yet more to believe
Oh tell me where
Where is the someone
Who will turn to look at me
And want to share
My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?
The more I live
The more I learn
The more I learn
The more I realize
The less I know
Each step I take
(Papa, I've a voice now!
Each page I turn
(Papa, I've a choice now!)
Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go
What's wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly
Then soar!
With all there is
Why settle for
Just a piece of sky?
Papa, I can hear you
Papa, I can see you
Papa, I can feel you
Papa, watch me fly!
Somewhere
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...
Don't Rain On My Parade
Don't tell me not to leave, just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter,
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade.
Don't tell me not to fly, I've simply got to,
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you,
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection,
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion,
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye.
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,
I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am...
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me life, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!
Evergreen
Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you.
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love, ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two.
You and I will make each night the first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us 'cause we have the brightest love.
Two lights that shine as one
Morning glory and
The midnight sun.
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time, won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen.
Tomorrow
The sun will come out, tomorrow
bet your bottom that tomrrow, there'll be sun
just thinking about, tomorrow
clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow,
til there's none.
When im stuck with the day, thats grey, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and grin and saaaay.
The sun will come out, tomorrow
so you gotta hang on til tomorrow,
come what may,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I love you, tomorrow
you're always a day away
The sun'll come out, tomorrow,
so you gotta hang on til tomorrow,
come what may,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I love you tomorrow,
you're always a day away,
tomorrow, tomorrow,
I love you tomorrow,
you're always a day away.
Tomorrow, tomorrow,
I love you tomorrow,
you're always a day-a-way!!!

What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life
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 fields of gold 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.
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love 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...
With you...
America The Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for heroes proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self, their country loved
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
America! America! America!
He Touched Me
He touched me,
He put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow
He knew it...
It wasn't accidental, no,
He knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, I know...
He's real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive toward valentining
He touched me, I simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But he touched me...
He touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
'Cause he touched me...
He touched me...
And suddenly... nothing, nothing, nothing is the same!
Guilty
Shadows falling , baby , we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're livin' on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and say
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Oh!
Aaah!
Pulse's racing , darling
How grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
There's danger in the dark
(It oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
(It oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin'
You battle on with the love you're buildin' on
Together
You gotta be mine
We take it away
It's gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I don't wanna hear your goodbye
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
I don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Don't wanna hear your goodbye
Don't wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of...
Send In The Clowns
Isn't it rich, are we a pair
Me here at last on the ground
You in mid-air
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'd 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 a farce,
My fault I fear,
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry my dear!
But where are the clowns
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns
What a surprise,
Who could foresee?
I'd come to feel about you
What you felt about me?
Why only now when I see
That you've drifted away?
What a surprise...
What a cliché...
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
And where are the clowns
Quick send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.
On a Clear Day
On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of ev'ry mountain, sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never, never heard before...
And on a clear day... On a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...
And ever more...
