Marvin Hamlisch [작곡, 피아노]

Memories, like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor 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 again
Tell me, would we, could we


Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's so simple 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

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best

I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from runnin'
But just keep it comin'
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

Oh, and nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best

Baby you're the best
Darlin', you're the best
Baby you're the best

FADE
Oh, oh, oh

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck the same to you
But I can't regret
What I did for love,
What I did for love.
Look, my eyes are dry,
The gift was ours to borrow,
It's as if we always knew,
And I won't regret
What I did for love,
What I did for love.
Gone, love is never gone,
As we travel on,
Love's what we'll remember!
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me toward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do--
Won't forget, can't regret
What I did for love,

What I did for love.

What I did for--

Love,

I was alone
You were alone
Parallel lines that touched one another.
Just feeling our way,
Lost in the dark,
Drawn to each other.

So much to say,
So much to do.
So much of you for me to discover.
Like what makes you laugh,
What makes you cry
How does a friend become a lover too?

I've waited all of my life to find
Someone who's need my heart and read my mind,
To light my days and warm my nights
Someone I know I could call
My someone for all my life.

Looking at you
Looking at me.
Loving the look of love that I see there.
I find when I look deep in your eyes
Reflections of me there.

I finally found someone
That knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one
That makes me feel complete.
It started over coffee
We started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things
The best things begin.

This time it's different
And it's all because of you
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
My favorite line was
"Can I call you sometimes"
It's all you had to say
To take my breath away.

This is it, oh I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone.

Did I keep you waiting?
I didn't mind
I apologize, baby that's fine
I would wait forever just to know
You were mine.
You know, I love your hair
Are you sure it looks right?
I love what you wear
Isn't it too tight?
You're exceptional
Can't wait for the rest of my life.

This is it, oh I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
'Cause whatever I do
It's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone.

Seek and you shall find what you may already have.
Sometimes it's your own shadow standing in your path.
I have spent my life with a vision of myself,
But I may have been somebody, somebody else.
I feel a change in the tide
As I hold my heart open wide.

Never
Knew what I could be.
I never felt the power inside of me.
Now I stand in all the wonder
That the mirror couldn't see.
I have the power inside of me, yeah.
I have the power inside of me.

Every time I held a rose, I only felt the thorns.
I feel like today's the day I finally was born.
Now that I see me through these eyes,
I can do more than fantasize.

Never
Knew what I could be.
I never felt the power inside of me.
Now I stand in all the wonder
That the mirror couldn't see!
I have the power inside of me, oh woah.
Inside of me,
Inside of me!
Yeah.

Daddy always thought that he married beneath him. That's what he said, that's what he said. When he proposed he informed my mother He was probably her very last chance. And though she was twenty-two, Though she was twenty-two, Though she was twenty-two, She married him. Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic More like a "Come as you are." When I was five I remember my mother Dug earrings out of the car I knew they weren't hers, But it wasn't Something you'd want to discuss. He wasn't warm. Well, not to her. Well, not to us But Everything was beautiful at the ballet. Graceful men lift lovely girls in white. Yes, Everything was beautiful at ballet. Hey! I was happy... at the ballet. That's why I started class... Up a steep and very narrow stairway. To the voice like a metronome. Up a steep and very narrow stairway. It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... But it was home. Mother always said I'd be very attractive When I grew up, when I grew up. "Diff'rent," she said, "With a special something And a very, very personal flair." And though I was eight or nine, Though I was eight or nine, Though I was eight or nine, I hated her. Now, "Diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty. "Pretty" is what it's about. I never met anyone who was "diff'rent" Who couldn't figure that out. So beautiful I'd never lived to see. But it was clear, If not to her, Well, then... to me... That ... Everyone is beautiful at the ballet. Every prince has got to have his swan. Yes, Everyone is beautiful at the ballet. Hey!... I was pretty... At the ballet Up a steep and very narrow stairway To the voice like a metronome. Up a steep and very narrow stairway It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... But it was home. I don't know what they were for or against, really, except each other. I mean I was born to save their marriage but when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital he said, "Well, I thought this was going to help. but I guess it's not..." Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life. I used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief... And he'd say to me, "Maggie, do you wanna dance?" And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!" Doo-doo-doo-doo But it was clear...  Doo-doo-doo When he proposed... Doo-doo-doo That I was born to help their marriage and when Doo-doo-doo-doo That's what he said...Doo-doo-doo That's what she said... Doo-doo-doo I used to dance around the living room... Doo-doo-doo-doo He wasn't warm... Doo-doo-doo Not to her... It was an Indian chief and he'd say: "Maggie, do you wanna dance?" And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..." Everything was beautiful at the ballet, Raise your arms and someone's always there. Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet, At the ballet, At the ballet!!! Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet. HEY!... I was pretty... I was happy... "I would love to..." At...the...ballet.

Dance: ten; Looks; three. And I' still on unemployment, Dancing for my own enjoyment. That ain't it, kid. That ain't it, kid. "Dance: ten; Looks; three," I like to die! Left the theatre and Called the doctor for My appointment to buy Tits and ass. Bought myself a fancy pair. Tightened up the derriere. Did the nose with it. All that goes with it. Tits and ass! Had the bingo-bongos done. Suddenly I'm getting nash'nal tours! Tits and ass won't get you jobs Unless they're yours. Didn't cost a fortune neither. Didn't hurt my sex life either. Flat and sassy, I would get the strays and losers. Beggars really can't be choosers. That ain't it, kid. That ain't it, kid. Fised the chassis. "How do you do!" Life turned into and Endless medley of "Gee it had to be you!" Why? Tits and ass! Where the cupboard once was bare Now you knock and someone's there. You have got 'em, hey. Top to bottom, hey. It's a gas! Just a dash of silicone. Shake your new maracas and you fine! Tits and ass can change your life. They sure changed mine. Have it all done. Honey, take my word. Grab a cab, c'mon. See the wizard on Park and Seventy-Third For Tits and ass. Orchestra or balcony. What they want is whatcha see. Keep the best of you. Do the rest of you. Pits or class. I have never seen it fail. Debutante or chorus girl or wife. Tits and ass, Yes, tits and ass Have changedMy Life!

I'm watchin' Sis Go pitterpat. Said, "I can do that, I can do that." Knew ev'ry step Right off the bat. Said, "I can do that, I can do that." One morning Sis won't go to dance class I grabbed her shoes and tights and all, But my foot's too small, So, I stuff her shoes With extra socks, Run seven blocks In nothin' flat. Hell, I can do that, I can do that. I got to class And had it made, And so I stayed The rest of my life. All thanks to Sis Now married and fat, I can do this. That I can do! I can do that.

I'm so excited because I'm gonna go to the High School of Performing Arts! I mean, I was dying to be a serious actress. Anyway, it's the first day acting class and we're in the auditorium and the teacher, Mr. Karp... Oh, Mr. Karp... Anyway, he puts us up on the stage with our legs around each other, one in back of the other and he says: "Okay... we're going to do improvisations. Now, you're on a bobsled. It's snowing out. And it's cold...Okay...GO!" Ev'ry day for a week we would try to Feel the motion, feel the motion Down the hill. Ev'ry day for a week we would try to Hear the wind rush, hear the wind rush, Feel the chill. And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To see what I had inside. Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And I tried, I tried. And everybody's goin' "Whooooosh, whooooosh... I feel the snow... I feel the cold... I feel the air." And Mr. Karp turns to me and he says, "Okay, Morales. What did you feel?" And I said..."Nothing, I'm feeling nothing," And he says "Nothing Could get a girl transferred." They all felt something, But I felt nothing Except the feeling That this bullshit was absurd! But I said to myself, "Hey, it's only the first week. Maybe it's genetic. They don't have bobsleds in San Juan!" Second week, more advanced, and we had to Be a table, be a sportscar... Ice-cream cone. Mister Karp, he would say,"Very good, except Morales. Try, Morales, All alone." And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul To see how an ice cream felt. Yes, I dug right down to the bottom of my soul And I tried to melt. The kids yelled, "Nothing!" They called me "Nothing" And Karp allowed it, Which really makes me burn. The were so helpful. They called me "Hopeless", Until I really didn't know Where else to turn. And Karp kept saying, "Morales, I think you should transfer to Girl's High, You'll never be an actress, Never!" Jesus Christ! Went to church, praying, "Santa Maria, Send me guidance, send me guidance," On my knees. Went to church, praying, "Santa Maria, Help me feel it, help me feel it. Pretty please!" And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul Came up to the top of my head. And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul, Here is what it said: "This man is nothing! This course is nothing! If you want something, Go find another class. And when you find one You'll be an actress." And I assure you that's what Fin'lly came to pass. Six months later I heard that Karp had died. And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul... And cried. 'Cause I felt... nothing.
