?Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory She is shining alone. In the lamplight the whithered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan. Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses wither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day Now Old Deuteronomy, just before dawn Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be reborn And come back to a different jellicle life Memory, turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin 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 Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Sunlight, through the trees in the summer Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking The memory is fading Touch me, it's 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 |

Night time sharpens heightens each sensation... Darkness wakes and stirs imagination Silently the senses abandon their defences Helpless to resist the notes I write For I compose the music of the night... Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour. Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender Hearing is believing music is deceiving Hard as lightning soft as candlelight dare you trust the music of the night... Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth And the truth isn't what you want to see. In the dark it is easy to pretend that the truth is what it ought to be. Softly, deftly music shall caress you... Hear it, feel it secretly possess you... Open up your mind let your fantasies unwind in this darkness which you know you cannot fight - the darkness of the music of the night... Close your eyes start a journey through a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Close your eyes and let music set you free... Only then can you belong to me... Floating, falling sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me savour each sensation... Let the dream begin let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write - the power of the music of the night... You alone can make my song take flight - help me make the music of the night... Come we must return - those two fools who run my theatre will be missing you... |

You must be mistaken! It couldn't have been! You couldn't have seen him yesterday! He's doing some deal up in Baltimore now... I hate it, when he's away! You must be mistaken, I'm sure that you are! There's more than one car with stickers on. And lots of young guys wear courdrary pants. And I'd know if he hadn't gone! Take that look off yor face! (Take that look off yor face!) I can see through your smile! (I can see through your smile!) You would love to be right, I bet, you didn't sleep good last night, couldn't wait to bring all of these bad news to my door. Well, I've got news for you: I knew before. I'f I'm not mistaken, it started last year. I'm not very clear how it began... I noticed a change, but I just closed my eyes as only a woman can. No, I didn't dig deep. (No, I didn't dig deep.) I did not want to know. (I did not want to know.) Well, you don't interfere when you're scared of the things, you might hear. When he's back, you think, I will end it right there and then? Well, my fair weather friend- you're wrong again! |

Joseph :
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain To see for certain what I thought I knew Far far away, someone was weeping But the world was sleeping Any dream will do Joseph & Children : I wore my coat, with golden lining Bright colors shining, wonderful and new And in the east, the dawn was breaking And the world was waking Any dream will do Joseph: A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colors faded into darkness I was left alone Joseph & Children: May I return to the beginning The light is dimming, and the dream is too The world and I, we are still waiting Still hesitating Any dream will do Joseph: A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colors faded into darkness I was left alone Joseph & Children: May I return to the beginning The light is dimming, and the dream is too The world and I, we are still waiting Still hesitating |

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your love after all that I've done You won't believe me All you will see is a girl you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I had to let it happen; I had to change Couldn't stay all my life down at heel Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun So I chose freedom Running around trying everything new But nothing impressed me at all I never expected it to Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance And as for fortune, and as for fame I never invited them in Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired They are illusions They're not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you love me Don't cry for me, Argentina Don't cry for me, Argentina The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you But all you have to do is look at me to know That every word is true Don't cry for me, Argentina |

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky Love, love changes everything How you live and how you die Love can make the summer fly Or a night seem like a lifetime Yes love, love changes everything Now I tremble at your name Nothing in the world will ever be the same Love, love changes everything Days are longer, words mean more Love, love changes everything Pain is deeper than before Love will turn your world around And that world will last for ever Yes love, love changes everything Brings you glory, brings you shame Nothing in the world will ever be the same Off into the world we go Planning futures, shaping years Love bursts in and suddenly All our wisdom disappears Love makes fools of everyone All the rules we make are broken Yes love, love changes everyone Live or perish in its flame Love will never, never let you be the same Love will never, never let you be the same! |

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him I've been changed, yes really changed In these past few days When I've seen myself I seem like someone else I don't know how to take this I don't see why he moves me He's a man He's just a man And I've had so many Men before In very many ways He's just one more Should I bring him down Should I scream and shout Should I speak of love Let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this What's it all about? Don't you think it's rather funny I should be in this position? I'm the one Who's always been So calm so cool No lover's fool Running every show He scares me so I never thought I'd come to this What's it all about? Yet If he said he loved me I'd be lost I'd be frightened I couldn't cope Just couldn't cope I'd turn my head I'd back away I wouldn't want to know He scares me so I want him so I love him so |

In sleep he sang to me
in dreams he came, that voice which calls to me and speaks my name. And do I dream again? for now I find the phantom of the opera is there inside my mind. Sing once again with me our strange duet; my power over you grows stronger yet. And though you turn from me to glance behind, the phantom of the opera is there inside your mind. Those who have seen your face draw back in fear. I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear. Your spirit and my voice in one combined; the phantom of the opera is there inside my mind. In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery were both in you. And in this labyrinth where night is blind, the phantom of the opera is there inside my mind. He's there the phantom of theopera. Ah!-------------- Ah!-------------- Ah!-------------- Ah!-------------- Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! |

Che:
Oh what a circus, oh what a show Argentina has gone to town Over the death of an acress called Eva Peron. We've all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right Oh what an exit, that's how to go. When they're ringing your curtain down Demand to be burried like Eva Peron It's quite a sunset and good for the country in aroundabout way We've made the front page of all the world's papers to day But who is this Santa Evita? Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? What kind of goddess has lived among us? How will we ever get by without her? She had her moments she had some style The best show in town was the crowd Outside Casa Rosade crying "Eva Peron" But that's all gone now and soon As the smoke from the funeral clears We're all gone see and how she did nothing for years Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia You let down your people Evita You were supposed to have been immortal That's all they wanted not much to ask for But in the end you could not deliver Sing you fools but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you Showbusiness kept us all alive Since Seventeen October 1945 But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government, we had a stage Instead of ideas, a primadonna's rage Instead of hope, we were given a crowd She didn't say much but she said it loud Sing you fools but you got it wrong Enjoy your prayers because you haven't got long Your queen is dead, your king is through She's not coming back to you Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Peron Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia Eva: Don't cry for me Argentina For I am ordinary, unimportant And undeserving of such attention Unless we all are, I think we all are So share my glory, so share my coffin So share my glory, so share my coffin Che: It's our funeral too |

Don't write a letter when you want to leave Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's appartment I'd like to choose how I hear the news Take me to a park that's covered with trees Tell me on a Sunday please Let me down easy, no big song and dance no long faces, no long looks no deep conversation I know how I want you to say goodbye Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees Tell me on a Sunday please Don't want to know who's to blame It won't help knowing Don't want to fight day and night bad enough you're going Don't leave in silence with no word at all Don't get drunk and slam the door That's no way to end this I know how I want you to say goodbye Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze Tell me on a Sunday please |

Close every door to me, hide all the world from me Bar all the windows and shut out the light Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me Darken my daytime and torture my night If my life were important I would ask will I live or die But I know the answers lie far from this world Close every door to me, keep those I love from me Children of Israel are never alone For I know I shall find my own peace of mind For I have been promised a land of my own Just give me a number instead of my name Forget all about me and let me decay I do not matter, I'm only one person Destroy me completely then throw me away If my life were important I would ask will I live or die But I know the answers lie far from this world Close every door to me, keep those I love from me Children of Israel are never alone For we know we shall find our own peace of mind For we have been promised a land of our own |

They don't want me any more
They all say I'm through Well, it's time they knew With one look, I can break your heart With one look, I play every part I can make your sad heart sing With one look you'll know, all you need to know With one smile, I'm the girl next door Or the love that you've hungered for When I speak it's with my soul I can play any role No words can tell The stories my eyes tell Watch me when I frown You can't write that down You know, I'm right It's there in black and white When I look your way You'll hear what I say Yes, with one look, I put words to shame Just one look sets the screen aflame Silent music starts to play One tear from my eye makes the whole world cry With one look they'll forgive the past They'll rejoice, I've returned at last To my people in the dark Still out there in the dark Silent music starts to play With one look you'll know, all you need to know With one look, I'll ignite a blaze I'll return to my glory days They'll say Norma's back at last This time I'm staying I'm staying for good, I'll be back Where I was born to be With one look, I'll be me |

Sure I came out here to make my name
Wanted my pool, my dose of fame Wanted my parking space at Warner's But after a year, a one room hell A murphy bed, a rancid smell Wallpaper peeling at the corners Sunset Boulevard, twisting boulevard Secretive and rich, a little scary Sunset Boulevard, tempting boulevard Waiting there to swallow the unwary Dreams are not enough to win a war Out here they're always keeping score Beneath the tan the battle rages Smile a rented smile, fill someone's glass Kiss someone's wife, kiss someone's ass We do whatever pays the wages Sunset Boulevard, headline boulevard Getting here is only the beginning Sunset Boulevard, jackpot boulevard Once you've won you have to go on winning You think I've sold out? Dead right I've sold out! I just keep waiting for the right offer Comfortable quarters, regular rations 24-hour Five Star room service And if I'm honest, I like the lady I can't help being touched by her folly I'm treading water, taking the money Watching her sun set... Well, I'm a writer! L.A.'s changed a lot over the years Since those brave gold rush pioneers Came in their creaky covered wagons Far as they could go end of the line Their dreams were yours, their dreams were mine But in those dreams were hidden dragons Sunset Boulevard, frenzied boulevard Swamped with every kind of false emotion Sunset Boulevard, brutal boulevard Just like you, we'll wind up in the ocean She was sinking fast, I threw a rope Now I have suits and she has hope It seemed an elegant solution One day this must end, it isn't real Still I'll enjoy a hearty meal Before tomorrrow's execution Sunset Boulevard, ruthless boulevard Destination for the stony-hearted Sunset Boulevard, lethal boulevard Everyone's forgotten how they started Here on Sunset Boulevard...! |

I dont know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here Yes, a world to rediscover, But I'm not in any hurry, And I need a moment. The whispered conversations In overcrowded hallways. The atmosphere as thrilling here as always. Feel the early morning madness, Feel the magic in the making, Why, everythings as if we never said goodbye. I've spent so many mornings Just trying to resist you. I'm trembling now, you cant know how I've missed you. Missed the fairy tale adventures In this ever spinning playground. We were young together. I'm coming out of makeup, The lights already burning. Not long until the cameras will start turning. And the early morning madness, And the magic in the making, Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye. I dont want to be alone, That's all in the past. This world's waited long enough, I've come home at last. And this time will be bigger And brighter than we knew it. So watch me fly, we all know I can do it. Could I stop my hand from shaking, Has there ever been a moment With so much to live for? The whispered conversations In overcrowded hallways. So much to say, not just today, but always. We'll have early morning madness, We'll have magic in the making, Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye. Yes, everythings as if we never said goodbye, We taught the world new ways to dream. |

I guess I am not too good at keeping love life for long I think I found the answers but the answers' alway wrong.. My first love was my ture love and it should've been my last The only time I am happy is when I dreaming in the past Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be Back than was when we touched the star light Sometimes you turn away from what your heart tells you was right And so you settle forward ever get you though the night The frame you though was dead may suddnly begin to burn and broken heart can be repaired that's some thing you learn Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touch the star light I feel it every moment that I ever shared with you what fools we were to ended a dream that looked like comming ture Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touched the star light Next time you fall in love it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touched the star light I guess I am not too good at keeping loving life for long I think I found the answers but the answers' alway wrong.. My first love was my ture love and it should been my last the only time I am happy is when I dreaming in the past Next time you fall in love (Next time you fall in love)it better be with me the way it used to be back than was when we touch the star light |
