A NEW DAY ... LIVE IN LAS VEGAS
There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in returned
Interlude
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
It's All Coming Back To Me Now
There were nights when the
wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this (It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...
For all those times you stood
by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm alive
You've set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on clouds above
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight
'Cause I am alive
When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you reach for me
Raising spirits high
God knows that
That I'll be the one
Standing by
Through good and through trying times
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the rest of my life
When you call on me
When you reach for me
I get wings to fly
I feel that
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive
I get wings to fly
God knows that we're alive
We sure are!
If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
give you courage in a world of compromise
yes, I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
and I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow, so I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
but I know that I could never cry your tears
but I would
If I could
yes, if I live
in a time and place where you don't want to be
you don't have to walk along this road with me
my yesterday won't have to be your way
if I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
and there isn't very much that I could do
but I would
If I could
oh baby
I just want to protect you
and help my baby through the hungry years
'cause you're part of me
and if you ever ever ever need
I said a shoulder to cry on
or just someone to talk to
I'll be there, I'll be there
I didn't change your world
but I would
If I could
At last
My love
Has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like
A song
Oh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I
Can call my own
I found a thrill to press
My cheek to
A thrill that I
Have never known
Oh yeah yeah
And you smile you smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last
Never know how much I love you,
never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me,
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the the morning, fever all through the night.
Everybody's got the fever, that is something
you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing, fever started long ago.
Romeo loved Juliet, Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her, he said "Julie baby you're my flame"
You give me fever
When you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight
Fever, in the morning, fever all through the night
Captain Smith and Pocahontas had a very mad
affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him, she said "Oh Daddy don't you dare"
He's giving me fever - when he kisses me fever when he holds me tight
Fever - I'm his Missus, Oh daddy won't you treat him right.
Now you've listened to my story, here's the
point that I have made:
Cats were born to give chicks fever, be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever - when you kiss them, fever if you live and learn
Fever - till you sizzle, what a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
What a lovely way to burn.
I've Got The World on A String
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got a string around my finger
What a world what a life
I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me can't you see
I'm in love
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got a string around my finger
What a world what a life
I'm in love
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let it go
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got a string around my finger
What a world and this is a life
I'm so in love
Ici l'automne chasse un été
de plus
La 4L est morte on a repeint la rue
Elise a deux dents, Petit Jean est grand et fort
J'apprends la guitare, j'en suis à trois accords
J'ai trouvé des girolles au marché ce matin
J'aimerais vivre à Rome oh j'aimerais bien
J'ai planté des tulipes elles tardent à éclore
C'est tout je crois, ah oui, je t'aime encore
Mais où es-tu ?
Aussi loin sans même une adresse
Et que deviens-tu ?
L'espoir est ma seule caresse
J'ai coupé mes cheveux, « enfin » dirais-tu
Oh ça m'a fait bizarre mais j'ai survécu
On m'invite, on me désire et je danse et je sors
Et quand je danse je t'aime encore
Mais où es-tu ?
Aussi loin sans même une adresse
Et que deviens-tu ?
L'attente est ma seule caresse
Et je t'aime encore
Comme dans les chansons banales
Et ça me dévore
Et tout le reste m'est égal
De plus en plus fort
A chaque souffle à chaque pas
Et je t'aime encore
Et toi tu ne m'entends pas
Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With "boy thought I told you not to go outside"
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
'Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell and I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through
Smokin' cigarettes
And writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin'it, it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I had to
escape, the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first,
but I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove the long,
straight road ahead...uh-huh, yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all
night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
What in this
world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark...
uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you
I drove all
night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
I taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're one
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
There is some love that will not go away
You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
I see trees of green, red
roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
the bright blessed day, dark sacred night
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying "how do you do?"
they're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
they'll learn much more than I'll ever know
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
High above the mountains
Far across the sea
I can hear your voice
Callin' out to me
Brighter than the sun
And darker than the night
I can see your love
Shinin' like a light
And on and on this earth spins like a carrousel
If I could travel across the world
The secrets I would tell
You and I were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
'cause you and I were meant to fly
Sailing like a bird
High on the wings of love
Take me higher than
All the stars above
I'm burnin',yearnin',gently turnin' round and round
I'm always rising up
I never want to come back down
You and I were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
'cause you and I were meant to fly
Fly, I I I, fly, I I I
You and I were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That you and I were meant to fly
You and I were meant to fly
Ain't Gonna Look The Other Way
Used to be easy, used to have
truth hangin round
Never had secrets, always singing your praises now good and loud
All I got is questions, and you left me wondering why
Why you keep your distance, every lonely night
When love was bound together
We lived it by the letter
Cant close my eyes forever
Cos everything has changed and now
I aint gonna look the other way
One more time
Cos after all the clouds go by, its just another empty sky
I aint gonna wait to see the rain
Go by
Nothins gonna make it right, look at me cos I choose life
Its all about giving, its not about winning the game
My mind was open, ready or not you closed it up again
Still I keep asking, if you got something to hide
I never stop learning, all the reasons why
It took about a minute
To find the point and hit it
Gotta take this life and live it
Cos everyting has changed and now
When all the lights go out so suddenly, I loose my way
Baby tell me
Is something going on
You gotta free me, this time I'm gonna be strong
