The Prayer
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night,Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonght, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today the minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
and still the sky is bright
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than alright
But here you are,
and what was just a world is a star
Tonight
Carrickfergus
I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and I.
I wish I was in the land of Erin,
Where the mountains reach the sea.
Where flowers blossom as I do remember.
Where my true love came to me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in Carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and I.
To be together .. my love and I.
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
To be together my love and I.
I wish I was back home again.
Habanera
From ";Carmen";
Quand je vous aimerai?
Ma foi, je ne sais pas,
Peut-¨ºtre jamais, peut-¨ºtre demain.
Mais pas aujourd'hui, c'est certain.
L'amour est un oiseau rebelle
Que nul ne peut apprivoiser,
Et c'est bien en vain qu'on l'appelle,
S'il lui convient de refuser.
Rien n'y fait, menace ou pri¨¨re,
L'un parle bien, l'autre se tait;
Et c'est l'autre que je pr¨¦f¨¨re
Il n'a rien dit; mais il me plaît.
L'amour! L'amour! L'amour! L'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Boh¨ºme,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
L'oiseau que tu croyais surprendre
Battit de l'aile et s'envola;
L'amour est loin, tu peux l'attendre;
Tu ne l'attend plus, il est l¨¤!
Tout autour de toi vite, vite,
Il vient, s'en va, puis il revient!
Tu crois le tenir, il t'¨¦vite;
Tu crois l'¨¦viter, il te tient!
L'amour, l'amour, l'amour, l'amour!
L'amour est enfant de Boh¨ºme,
Il n'a jamais, jamais connu de loi,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
Si tu ne m'aime pas,
Si tu ne m'aime pas, je t'aime!
Mais, si je t'aime,
Si je t'aime, prend garde ¨¤ toi!
Translation:
When will I love you?
Good lord, I don't know,
Maybe never, maybe tomorrow.
But not today, that's certain.
Love is a rebellious bird
That nothing can tame,
And it is simply in vain to call it
If it is convient for it to refuse.
Nothing will work, threat or pleading,
One speaks, the other stays quiet;
And it's the other that I prefer
He said nothing; but he pleases me.
Love! Love! Love! Love!
Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
The bird you thought to surprise
Bat its wing and flew away;
Love is far away, you can wait for it;
If you wait for it no more, it is there!
All around you, quickly, quickly,
It comes, goes, then it comes back!
You think to hold it, it avoids you;
You think to avoid it, it holds you!
Love, love, love, love!
Love is the child of the Bohemian,
It has never, never known any law,
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me, I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
If you don't love me,
If you don't love me, I love you!
But, if I love you,
If I love you, keep guard of yourself!
Bali Ha'i
From ";South Pacific";
Most people live on a lonely island,
lost in the middle of a foggy sea
most people long for another island
one where they know they would like to be.
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart you'll hear it call you,
";Come away, come away . . .";
Bali Ha'i will whisper,
On the wind of the sea,
";Here am I your special island";
";Come to me, come to me . . .";
Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside,
And shine in the streams . . .
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me . . .
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Someday you'll see me,
Floating in the sunshine,
My head's sticking out from a low flying cloud . . .
You'll hear me call you,
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be . . .
";Come to me, Bali Ha'i";
";Come to me";
";Come to me";
Bali Ha'i . . .
Papa Can You Hear Me?
From ";Yentl";
God
Oh God
May the light,
Illuminate the night, the way your spirit illuminates my soul
PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
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 frightened?
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 door?
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 ev'rything you taught me
Ev'ry 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...
The Flower Duet
From ";Lakme";
Sous le dome epais
ou le blanc jasmin
A la rose sÕassemble,
Sur la rive en fleurs,
riant au matin,
Viens, descendons ensemble.
Doucement glissons;
De son flot charmant
Suivons le courant
fuyant; Dans
lÕonde fremissante.
DÕune main nonchalante,
Viens, gagnons le bord
Ou la souree dort.
Et lÕoiseau,
lÕoiseau chante.
Sous le dome epais,
Sous le blanc jasmin,
Ah! descendons ensemble!
The Little Horses
Hush bye-bye, don't you cry
go to sleepy little baby
when you wake you shall have all the pretty little horses(x2)
blaks and bays, dapples and grays
all the pretty little horses
blacks and bays, dapples and grays
coach and six little horses
Hush bye-bye dont you cry
go to sleepy little baby
when you wake, you'll have sweet cake
and all the pretty little horses
a brown and gray
a black and bay
a coach and six little horses
a black and bay
a brown and a gray
and a coach and six little horses
hush-a-bye, don't you cry
all you pretty little babies
go to sleepy little baby
all you pretty little babies
From My First Moment
From my first moment you gave me wings
Let me fly and believed in my dreams
From that first moment you cherished me so
The journey through life would be hard with out you
You gave me all I have and all I know
From my first moment you would be there
In your arms lay the strength I now bear
From that first moment each day I have you
As seasons they change but your heart stays the same
You gave me all I have and all I know
From my first moment as time goes by
Witness endlessly through open skies
The journey though life would be hard with out you
You gave me all I have and all I know
The Water Is Wide
The water is wide, I can not get o'er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that will carry two
And both shall row... my love and I.
Their love is plentive... o'er there it grows
It grows and blossoms like a rose
It has a sweet and pleasant smell
No flower on earth can it excel.
The ship there is and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim.
Oh, love is handsome and love is fine
And loves a jewel when it is new
But rain it above it grows so cold
And fades away like morning dew.
Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man
from ";Porgy & Bess";
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, (maybe I know).
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you' why
Dere ain't no reason
Why Ishould love dat man,
It mus' be sumpin dat de angels done plan.
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, (maybe I know).
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
When he goes away,
Dat's a rainy day,
And when he comes back dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!
He kin come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
De chimney's smokin'
De roof is leakin' in,
But he don't seem to care.
Dere ain't no reason why I should love dat man.
And why do you love that man?
It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan.
Fish got to swim,
Birds got to fly,
I got to love
One man till I die.
Can't help lovin'
Dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy,
Tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy,
(maybe I know).
Can't help lovin'
Dat man of mine.
When he goes away,
Dat's a rainy day,
And when he comes back
Dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!
Yes, sister
He kin come home
As late as can be,
Home without him
Ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin'
Dat man of mine.
If I Loved You
from ";Carousel";
If I loved you, time and again
I would try to say all I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come
In an easy way, round in circles I'd go
Chorus:
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you, if I loved you
Repeat chorus
A Bit Of Earth
from The ";Secret Garden";
A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
But is their bounty
What she needs
How can she chance
To love a little bit of earth
Does she not know
The earth is old
And doesn't care if
One small girl wants things to grow
She needs a friend
She needs a father
Brother, sister
Mother's arms
She needs to laugh
She needs to dance
And learn to work
Her girlish charms
She needs a home
The only thing she really needs
I cannot give
Instead she asks
A bit of earth
To make it live
She should have a pony
Gallop 'cross the moor
She should have a doll's house
With a hundred rooms per floor
Why can't she ask for a treasure
Something that money can buy
That won't die
When I'd give her the world
She asks instead
For some earth
A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs
She'll grow to love the tender roses
Lilies fair, the iris tall
And then in fall, her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all
A bit of earth, a bit of earth,
A bit of earth, a bit of earth
Somewhere
from ";West Side Story";
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,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .
There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!
The Prayer
I pray you'll be our eyes
and watch us where we go
and help us to be wise
in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
as we go our way
lead us to a place
guide us with your grace
to a place where we'll be safe
La luce che to dai
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore restero
and hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e de speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo de pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E'il diciderio che
And watch us from above
Ugnuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Cento che ci salvera
