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. I wore my coat, with golden lining, Bright colors shinging, wonderful and new. And in the East, the dawn was breaking The world was waking Any dream will do. Acrash of drums! A flash of light! My golden coat flew outta sight! The colors faded into darkness, I was left alone... May I return to the beginning? The light is dimming, And the dream is too. The world and I, we are still waking, Still hesitating, Any dream will do... Still hesitating, Any dream will do. |

No more talk
of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears. I'm here, nothing can harm you - my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears. I'm here with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you... Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime... Say you need me with you now and always... Promise me that all you say is true - that's all I ask of you... Let me be your shelter, let me be your light. You're safe: No-one will find you - your fears are far behind you... All I want is freedom, a world with no more night... and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me... Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime... let me lead you from your solitude.... Say you need me with you here, beside you... anywhere you go, let me go too - Christine, that's all I ask of you... Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime... say the word and I will follow you... Share each day with me, each night, each morning... Say you love me... You know I do... Love me - that's all I ask of you... Anywhere you go let me go too... Love me - that's all I ask of you... |

You were once my one companion, you were all that mattered.
You were once a friend and father, then my world was shattered. Wishing you were somehow here again. Wishing you were somehow near. Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed, Somehow you would be here. Wishing I could hear your voice again, Knowing that I never would. Dreaming of you won't help me to do All that you dreamed I could. Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and monumental. Seemed for you the wrong companions, you were warm and gentle. (Instrumental) Too many years fighting back tears, Why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again, Helping me to say goodbye. Try to forgive, teach me to live, Give me the strength to try... No more memories, no more silent tears. No more gazing across the wasted years. Help me say goodbye. |

Don't write a letter when you want to leave
Don't call me at 3 a.m. from a friend's apartment 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 the way we should spend that day 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 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 Don't run off in the pouring rain Don't call me as they call your plane Take the hurt out of all the pain Take me to a park that's covered with trees Tell me on a Sunday please |

I only want to say,
If there is a way, Take this cup away from me. For I don't want to taste its poison, Feel it burn me. I have changed. I'm not as sure, as when we started. Then, I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired. Listen, surely, I've exceeded expectations, Tried for three years, seems like thirty. Could you ask as much from any other man? But if I die, See the saga through and do the things you ask of me, Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree. I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God, I'd want to know, I'd want to know, My God. I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God, I'd want to see, I'd want to see, My God Why I should die. Would I be more noticed that I ever was before? Would the things that I've said and done matter any more? I have to know, I have to know my Lord, I have to know, I have to know my Lord I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord, I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord If I die what will be my reward? If I die what will be my reward? I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord Why should I die? Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain? Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain. Show me there's a reason for you wanting me to die You're far to keen and where and how, and not so hot on why. Alright, I'll die! Just watch me die! See how I die! See how I die! Then, I was inspired. Now, I'm sad and tired. After all, I've tried for three years, seems like ninety. Why then am I scared to finish, what I've started.... What you started - I didn't start it! God, thy will is hard, But you hold every card. I will drink your cup of poison. Nail me to the cross and break me. Bleed me, Beat me, Kill me Take me now..before I change my mind. Now...before I change my mind. |

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 My/Your spirit and my/your voice In one combined The phantom of the opera is there Inside my/your mind Beware The phantom of the opera He's there The phantom of the opera Sing, my angel of music Sing, my angel ! Sing for me ! |

Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defences Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn you face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold un-feeling light And listen to the music of the night Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar And you'll live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music shall caress you Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you Open up your mind, let your fantasies un-wind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to be 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 of the night You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the niiiiiiiight |

From Cats
Daylight See the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day 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 streetlamp Seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters And the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn 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 The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning 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 |

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 forever. 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 everything: live or perish, in its flame. Love will never ever let you be the same. Love will never ever let you be the same. |
