I'm nothing special
In fact I'm a bit of a bore If I tell a joke You've probably heard it before But I have a talent A wonderful thing 'couse everyone listens When I start to sing I'm so greatful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud **So I say Thank you for the music The songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it I ask in all honesty What would life be Without a song or dance what are we So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me** Mother says I was I dancer befor I could walk She says I was begun To sing long before I could talk And I've often wonderd How did it all start Who found out that nothing Can capture a heart Like melody can Well, who ever it was, I'm a fan So I say Thank you for the music.... I'v been so lucky I am the girl with golden hair I wanna sing it out to everybody What a joy, what a life, what a chance Thank you for the Music...... |

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It's simple and it's plain Why should I complain. But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all... |

Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar They were closer now Fernando Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Now we're old and grey Fernando And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand Can you hear the drums Fernando? Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande? I can see it in your eyes How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando There was something in the air that night The stars were bright, Fernando They were shining there for you and me For liberty, Fernando Though I never thought that we could lose There's no regret If I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando Yes, if I had to do the same again I would, my friend, Fernando... |

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances My picture clear, everything seemed so easy And so I dealt you the blow One of us had to go Now it's different, I want you to know One of us is crying One of us is lying In her lonely bed Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small Wishing she had never left at all I saw myself as a concealed attraction I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving That's how I started the show One of us had to go Now I've changed and I want you to know One of us is crying One of us is lying In her lonely bed Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small Wishing she had never left at all Never left at all Staring at the ceiling Wishing she was somewhere else instead One of us is lonely One of us is only Waiting for a call |

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha,
ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave made me shiver 'Cause he always used to look at me that way And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder does it have to be the same Every time when I see him, will it bring back the pain? Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name? Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into his angeleyes Crazy 'bout his angeleyes Angeleyes Once he took my heart and now I pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking, I had to pay the price (repeat & fade) |

Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due I must have read the morning paper going into town And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so The usual place, the usual bunch And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained The day before you came I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two And at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school The train back home again Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame The day before you came Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have read a while The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The day before you came And turning out the light I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain The day before you came |

They came flying from far away,
now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell They've seen places beyond my land and they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle) I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly (What a feeling) Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please |

When you were lonely, you needed a man
Someone to lean on, well I understand It's only natural But why did it have to be me? Nights can be empty, nights can be cold So you were looking for someone to hold That's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me Men are toys in the game that you play When you get tired, you throw them away That's only natural But why did it have to be me? Falling in love with a woman like you Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do It's only natural But why did it have to be me? I was so lonesome, I was blue I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I Always thought you knew the reason why I only wanted a little love affair Now I can see you are beginning to care But baby, believe me It's better to forget me |

I was sitting by the phone
I was waiting all alone Baby by myself I sit and wait and wonder about you It's a dark and dreary night Seems like nothing's going right Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you? Yes I'm down and feeling blue And I don't know what to do, oh-oh Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? You were here and now you're gone Hey did I do something wrong? I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken Was it me or was it you? Tell me, are we really through? Won't you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking Please forgive and then forget Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall And I sit all alone impatiently Won't you please understand the need in me So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Oh-oh, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? So, ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? |

You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together The way old friends do And after fights and words of violence We make up with each other The way old friends do Times of joy and times of sorrow We will always see it through Oh I don't care what comes tomorrow *We can face it together The way old friends do *Repeat We can face it together The way old friends do |

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake, I let precious time go by Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go (Slipping through my fingers all the time) Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers... Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile... |

The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night Did it's best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank The family man, the football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of my dreams I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants Living for the day, worries far away... |

I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase So now we'll go separate ways Never again we two Never again, nothing I can do Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly (See it all so clearly) Answer me sincerely (Answer me sincerely) Was it a dream, a lie? Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words you try to find, my love, my life But I know I don't possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Still my one and only I've watched you look away Tell me is it really so hard to say? Oh, this has been my longest day Sitting here close to you Knowing that maybe tonight we're through Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly (See it all so clearly) Answer me sincerely (Answer me sincerely) Was it a dream, a lie? Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words you try to find, my love, my life But I know I don't possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Yes I know I don't possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Still my one and only |

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through Here we are, me and you Feeling lost and feeling blue It's the end of the party And the morning seems so grey So unlike yesterday Now's the time for us to say... Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I Sometimes I see How the brave new world arrives And I see how it thrives In the ashes of our lives Oh yes, man is a fool And he thinks he'll be okay Dragging on, feet of clay Never knowing he's astray Keeps on going anyway... Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I Seems to me now That the dreams we had before Are all dead, nothing more Than confetti on the floor It's the end of a decade In another ten years time Who can say what we'll find What lies waiting down the line In the end of eighty-nine... Happy new year Happy new year May we all have a vision now and then Of a world where every neighbour is a friend Happy new year Happy new year May we all have our hopes, our will to try If we don't we might as well lay down and die You and I |
