Christian:
Love is a many splendored thing, love
Lift us up where we belong
All you need is love
Satine:
Please, don't start that again
Christian:
All you need is love
Satine:
A girl has got to eat
Christian:
All you need is love
Satine:
Or she'll end up on the streets
Christian:
All you need is love
Satine:
Love is just a game
Christian:
I was made for lovin' you baby
You were made for lovin' me
Satine:
The only way of lovin' me baby
Is to pay a lovely fee
Christian:
Just one night
Give me just one night
Satine:
There's no way
'Cause you can't pay
Christian:
In the name of love
One night in the name of love
Satine:
You crazy fool
I won't give in to you
Christian:
Don't, leave me this way
I can't survive
Without your sweet love
Oh baby, don't leave me this way
Satine:
You'd think that people
Would have had enough of silly love songs
Christian:
I look around me
And I see it isn't so, oh no
Satine:
Some people wanna fill
The world with silly love songs
Christian:
Well, what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
'Cause, here I go again!
Love lift us up where we belong
Where eagles fly on a mountain high
Satine:
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away
For one happy day
Christian:
We could be heroes
Just for one day
Satine:
You, you will be mean
Christian:
No, I won't
Satine:
And I--'ll drink all the time
Christian:
We should be lovers
Satine:
We can't do that
Christian:
We should be lovers
And that's a fact
Satine:
No, nothing will keep us together
Christian:
We could steal time
Just for one day
Both:
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Forever and ever
We could be heroes
Christian:
Just because I will always love you
Satine:
I...
Satine & Christian:
Can't help loving...
Christian:
you.
Satine:
How wonderful life is
Both:
Now, you're in the world.
Opera Interlude
Christian:
My gift is my song and this one�s for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It maybe quite simple but now that it's done
Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words, how wonderful life is
Now you�re in the world
I sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well some of these verses well they, they got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on.
So excuse my forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is - what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Allesandro-opera
Backing:
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It maybe quite simple but now that it's done
Christian:
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simply but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
Allesandro-opera
Christian:
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Satine:
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Christian:
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
Satine:
It all revolves around you
Satine & Christian:
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you (I love you) until the end of time
Chorus
Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Chorus

You don�t have to put on that red light...
Walk the streets for money
You don�t care if it�s wrong or if it is right
Roxanne
You don�t have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don�t have to sell you body to the night
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It�s more than I can stand
Roxanne
Why does my heart cry?
Roxanne
Feelings I can�t hide
You�re free to leave me but just don�t decieve me...
And please, belive me when I say, I love you...
(Spanish)
Roxanne
Why does my heart cry
You don�t have to put on that red light
Feelings I can�t hide
You don�t have to put on that dress tonight
Roxanne
Why does my heart cry
You don�t have to put on that red light
Feelings I can�t hide
Roxanne
You don�t have to wear that dress tonight
