It's not the pale moon that excites me 
That thrills and delights me 
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you 

Isn't your sweet conversation 
That brings this sensation, 
Oh no, it's just the nearness of you 

When I'm in your arms 
And I feel you so close to me 
All my wondrous dreams come true 

I need no soft lights to enchant me 
If you only grant me the right 
To hold you ever so tight 
And to feel in the night 
The nearness of you 

I need no soft lights to enchant me 
If you only grant me the right 
To hold you ever so tight 
And to feel in the night 
The nearness of you 

You look at me, so differently 
Have I changed so much from who I used to be? 
We're both to wise, for alibis 
We talk, but there's so much that we don't say 
I guess I've gotten used to it this way 
But in Niagara, you promised me the moon 
And when I fell I couldn't tell it happened all to soon 
Up in Niagara, we were foolish then 
Make it happen again 

You hold my hand, to please my friends 
But when they leave the music stops, the love song ends 
And even though I'm reaching out 
It feels as though there's nothing coming in 
And maybe this is how we've always been 
But in Niagara, you took me by surprise 
I knew you heard my every word, just looking in my eyes 
But in Niagara, we were crazy then 
Make me crazy again 

Up in Niagara, we were crazy then 
Make me crazy again... 

(Not wanting to confuse Hadass or 
herself any longer, Yentl decides to end 
her masquerade.) 

  VERSE 
  Look at how she looks at me, 
  I can never look at her that way... 
  Full of all the feelings and the soft 
  Unspoken words that lovers say... 
  In all the words, in all the books 
  I wish there were a way to say that 
  What she’s taught me 
  Isn’t written anywhere 
  And I'm supposed to be the one 
  Who’s wise... 
  One thing is certain, 
  I can never be what she 
  Expects of me... 

I’ve wanted the shadows, 
I don’t anymore. 
No matter what happens, 
I won't anymore 
I've run from the sunlight- 
Afraid it saw too much. 
The moon had the one light 
I bathed in- 
I walked in. 
I held in my feelings 
And closed every door. 
No matter what happen. 
I can't anymore. 
There's someone who must hear 
The words I've never spoken. 
Tonight if he were here 
My silence would be broken. 
I need him to touch me- 
To know the love that's in my heart- 
The same heart that tells me 
To see myself- 
To free myself- 
To be myself at last! 
For too many mornings 
The curtains were drawn. 
It's time they were opened 
To welcome the dawn. 
A voice deep inside 
Is getting stronger, 
I can't keep it quiet any longer. 
No matter what happens, 
It can't be the same anymore... 
I promise it won't be the same 
Anymore! 

O

When I walked 
Through the doors 
I sensed his presence 
And I knew 
This was a place 
Where love abounds 
For this is a temple 
The god we love abides here 
Oh we are standing 
In his presence 
On holy ground 
We are standing 
On holy ground 
And I know, 
I know there are angels 
All around 
Let us praise, 
Praise god now 
Praise him anyhow 
For we are standing 
In his sweet presence 
On holy ground 
In his presence 
I know there is joy 
Beyond all measure 
And at his feet 
Sweet peace of mind 
Can still be found 
Ooooh... 
For when we have a need 
He is still the answer 
Oh reach out and claim it 
For we are standing 
On holy ground 
Are we standing, 
Yes its holy, holy ground 
And I know 
There are angels 
I can feel em all around 
Let us praise 
Let us praise 
Praise god now 
Praise him anyhow 
For we 
We are standing 
In his presence 
On holy, holy ground 
Let us praise 
Let us praise him now 
Praise him anyhow 
For we are standing 
In his presence 
Ooohh... 
In his holy wonderful presence 
He loves us in our hour of sorrow 
He's our hope, our hope for tomorrow 
We are standing in his presence 
In holy ground 
Holy ground 

Once upon a summertime if you recall 
We stopped beside then in a flower stall 
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots 
Was all I let you buy me 
Once upon a summertime just like today 
We laughed the happy afternoon away 
And stole a kiss in every street cafe 
You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree 
I was as proud as any girl could be 
As if the major had offered me the key, the key to Paris 
Now another wintertime has come and gone 
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown 
But I remember when the vespers chime 
You loved me once upon a summertime 
Tous les lilas, tous les lilas de mai 
N'en finiront, n'en finiront jamais 
De faire la fete du coeur 
Des jeunes qui s’aiment 
S’aiment, s’aiment 
Now another wintertime has come and gone 
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown 
But I remember when the vespers chime 
You loved me once upon a summertime... 

O little town of Bethlehem, 
How still we see thee lie; 
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 
The silent stars go by; 
Yet in thy dark streets shineth 
The everlasting light. 
The hopes and fears of all the years 
Are met in thee tonight. 
The angels’ voices singing 
Proclaim the early morning! 
And children pure and happy 
A-wait the break of dawn 
While charity stands watching 
And faithfuls wipe the door 
The dark night wakes the glory bricks 
And Christmas comes once more 

One day
The fields will be green
And one day
The skies will be blue
And one day
The rivers will be bright silver ribbons
Running round the hills
Quiet hills

You'll see
One day
The rains will be soft
And one day
The winds will be sweet
Oh sweeter than springtime
And the whisper of lilac, apple, pine and pear
Will fill the air

And one day
A child full of wonder
Won't fear the dark sound of thunder
No dreams of danger
When a soldier is a stranger
From a distant time
Distant world

On that morning
You stand
with tomorrow
Safe in your hand
That will be the day

Mmm. . . 
One less bell to answer 
One less  egg to fry 
One  less man  to  pick  up after 
I  should  be  happy 
But  all  I do is  cry,  cry 
No  more  laughter 
(Oh  I should  be happy) 
Oh why did he go 
I only know that since he left 
My  life’s  so  empty 
Though I try to forget 
It just can't be done 
Each time the doorbell rings 
I  still  run 
I  don't  know  haw  in  the  world 
To  stop  thinking  of  him 
(I  should  be  happy) 
'Cause  I  still.  love  him  so 
I end each day the way I started 
Crying my  heart out 
(Start  and  end each  day  crying) 
One less  bell  to  answer 
One less  egg  to  fry 
One less man 
(One less  man) 
To pick  up after 
No more laughter,  no  more  laughter 
Since  he  went  away 
(Since  he went away) 
Since he went away 
Mmm...  a  chair is  still  a  chair 
Even  when there's  no  one  sitting  there 
But  a  chair  is  not  a  house 
And  a  house  is  not  a  home 
When  there' s  no one  there 
To hold  you  tight and  no  one  there 
You can  kiss goodnight 
A room is still a room 
Even  when  there’s  nothing  ever  gloom 
But a room is not a house 
And a house is not a home 
When the two of us are far apart 
And one of us has a broken heart 
Now and then I call your name 
And suddenly your face appears 
But it’s just a crazy game 
And  when it ends, it  ends  in  tears 
So  darling,  have  a  heart 
Don’t let one  mistake  keep us apart 
Oh, I'm  not  meant  to live  alone 
Turn this  house  into a home 
When  I  climb  the  stairs and turn  the  key 
Oh  please,  be  there  still  in love  with me 
One less bell  to  answer 
Each time the doorbell rings I still run 
One less egg to fry 
(I got one less man) 
To pick up after 
(No more laughter) 
No more laughter 
No more laughter... 
Since he went away, 
(Since he went away) 
Since he went away... 
All I do is cry... 

Millions of stars placed in the skies by One God
Millions of us lift up our eyes to One God
So many children calling to him
By many a different name
One father… loving each the same

Many the ways all of us pray to One God
Many the paths winding their way to One God
Brothers and sisters… there were no strangers
After his work was done

For your God 
And my God 
Are one

So many children calling out loud
By many a different name
One father… loving each the same

Many the ways all of us pray to one God
Many the paths winding their way to One God
Brothers and sisters… there were no strangers 
After the work was done

By our God
Yes your God
And My God
Are One! 

On rainy afternoons 
When memories cloud the skies 
The wind is filled 
With our goodbyes 
On rainy afternoons 
We used to slip away 
With rain and love 
We'd spent the day 
What went wrong? 
I wish I knew 
Was it me, or was it you? 
I wonder, you think you've said farewell 
Because you've said goodbye 
You walk away, your eyes are dry 
But the wind remembers all our favorite tunes 
On rainy afternoons 
On rainy afternoons 

Change can come on tiptoe
Love is where it starts
It resides, often hides
Deep within our hearts
And just as
Pebbles make a mountain,
Raindrops make a sea,
One day at a time
Change begins with you and me,
Ordinary miracles
Happen all around,
Just by giving and receiving 
Comes belonging and believing, 

Every sun that rises
Never rose before,
Each new day leads the way
Through a different door,
And we can all be quiet heroes
Living quiet days,
Walking through the world
Changing it in quiet ways,
Ordinary miracles
Like candles in the dark,
Each and every one of us
Lights a spark, 

And the walls can tumble
And the mountains can move,
The winds and the tide can turn, 

Yes, ordinary miracles
One for every star,
No lightning bolt or clap of thunder
Only joy and quiet wonder,
Endless possibilities
Right before our eyes,
Oh, see the way a miracle multiples, 

Now hope can spring eternally 
Plant it and it grows,
Love is all that's necessary
Love in its extraordinary way
Makes ordinary miracles every blessed day. 

P

PRAYER 
Oh God-our heavenly Father. 
Oh, God-and my father 
Who is also in heaven. 
May the light of this 
Flickering candle 
Illuminate the night the way 
Your spirit illuminates my soul. 

Papa, can you hear me? 
Papa, can you see me? 
Papa can you find me in the night? 
Papa are you near me? 
Papa, can you hear me? 
Papa, can you help me not be frightened? 
Looking at the skies I seem to see 
A million eyes which ones are yours? 
Where are you now that yesterday 
Has waved goodbye 
And closed its doors? 
The night is so much darker; 
The wind is so much colder; 
The world I see is so much bigger 
Now that I'm alone. 
Papa, please forgive me. 
Try to understand me; 
Papa, don’t you know I had no choice? 
Can you hear me praying, 
Anything I'm saying 
Even though the night is filled with  voices? 
I remember everything you taught me 
Every book 1've ever read... 
Can all the words in all the books 
Help me to face what lies ahead? 
The trees are so much taller 
And I feel so much smaller; 
The moon is twice as lonely 
And the stars are half as bright... 
Papa, how I love you... 
Papa, how I need you. 
Papa, how I miss you 
Kissing me good night... 

People, 
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
Where children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children 

Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person, 
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world. 

With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano 
But my mother said my dear you've got to practice you piano 
No soprano's in to man but a piano's always grand 
And grand pianos in a band make money darling 
And so each afternoon when I come home from school 
I practice like a bloody fool 
You can't imagine all the awful things I play 
I could never see a friend 
I'd have to practice without end 
And as the time was dripping by 
I watched the clock without denial 
I got the window on the sky 
I wished so tearfully that I 
Could come outside and play 
Instead of wasting every day 
Of learning something that 
Without a doubt 
I could have really done without 
It was such a bore 
And I could here the boy next door was having fun 
And that was something that I'd really never done 

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a soprano 
But I had to sit and practice on my rotten old piano 
Playing major scales and than I played the minors once again 
Now up and down the keys I play and out of these 
I play a tirade of all the exercises 
Never any new surprises 
Girl you keep your fingers wrong 
What a sound 
All I wanted was to sing 
And not to make the raftest ring 
With my old piano 
Practicing I would have popped my back 
I sing, I hated every minute of the keyboard I devote 
That is why today I'm a soprano, but the sight of a piano 
Makes me shot before I can not play a note 

(Yentl reveals herself to Avigdor. Though 
she is a woman ahead of her time, Avigdor 
is a prisoner of his. So her journey  must 
continue... to a place where she hears 
things are different.) 
  

Verse: 
Tell me where 
Where is it written 
What is it I meant to be? 
That I can't dare... 
It all began the day I found.. 
That from my window I could only see 
A piece of sky. 
I stepped outside and looked around. 
I never dreamed it was so wide 
Or even half as high. 
The time had come 
(Papa, can you hear me?) 
To try my wings 
(Papa, are you near me?) 
And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall, 
I felt the most, 
(Papa, can you see me?) 
Amazing things, 
(Can you understand me?) 
The things you can't imagine 
if you've never flown at all. 
Though it's safer to stay on the ground, 
Sometimes where danger lies 
There the sweetest of pleasures are found. 
No matter where I go, 
There'll be memories that tug at my sleeve, 
But there will also be 
More to question, yet more to believe.. 
Oh tell me where? 
Where is the someone who will turn and look at me? 
And want to share 
My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility? 
The more I live - the more I learn. 
The more I learn - the more I realize 
The less I know. 
Each step I take - 
(Papa, I've a voice now!)Each page I turn - 
(Papa, I've a choice now!)Each mile I travel only means 
The more I have to go. 
What's wrong with wanting more? 
If you can fly - then soar! 
With all there is - why settle for 
just a piece of sky? 
Papa, I can hear you... 
Papa, I can see you... 
Papa, I can feel you... 
Papa, watch me fly! 

Little boy lost 
In search 
Of little boy found 
You go on wondering, wandering 
Stumbling, tumbling 
'Round. . .  'round. . . 
When will you find 
What’s on the tip of your mind 
Mmm...Why are you blind 
To all you ever were 
Never were 
Really are 
Nearly are 
Little boy  false 
In search 
Of little boy true 
Will you be ever done 
Traveling 
Always unraveling 
You, . . you. . . 
Running  away 
Could leave you farther astray 
And as for fishing in streams 
For pieces of dreams 
Those pieces will never fit 
What is the sense of it 
Little boy blue 
Don't  let  your little sheep roam 
It's time come blow  your  horn 
Meet them on 
Look and see 
Can you be far from home... 

Mornings, Evenings
Days that hurry past
Dreams that should have lasted 

Moments, Hours,
Slipping by as we
Told each other secrets 

Somehow 
I'll never let go of the memories 
Something always seems
To remind me
Of how it was,
Of what it was,
What it was,
All there was 

Laughter, Love songs,
Footsteps that I hear
Make me think you're near me 

Poems, pictures,
Letters never mailed
Boats that never sailed 

Remember 
That even though we can't be together,
We're more for having loved one another
We shared the sky
We learnt to fly
Someday when someone else's arms are around us
When time has put some distance between us
The years will kindly show
How memories come and go
They ebb and flow like the tide 

There are quiet places in my heart
Ever since we parted
Gentle, tender
Traces of a song
Places that belong to you

I’ve never been wrong 
But you' re the only one I trust to show me the way 
I always hear your voice 
And in my dreams I hear you calling my name... 
What is it about you? 
Some kind of light shines from your face 
And I can’t turn away 
I’m like a prisoner captured by your eyes 
I’ve been taken and I’ve been hypnotized 
I’m like a prisoner captured by your eyes 
I’ve been taken and I’ve been hypnotized 
And your eyes say everything 
You want to keep me here forever 
I can’t escape 
One minute’s so sincere 
Then you completely turn against me and I’m afraid 
You don’t have to say you love me 
’Cause if you want me, I'll stay 
’Cause I can turn away 
I’m like a prisoner captured by your eyes 
I’ve been taken, taken by surprise 
I'm like e prisoner captured by your eyes 
I've been taken and I’ve been hypnotized 
I'm like a prisoner... 

Q

When it all comes true
Just the way you planned
It's funny but the bells don't ring
It's a quiet thing
When you hold the world 
In your trembling hand
You think you'd hear a choir singing
But it’s a quiet thing 

There are no exploding fireworks
Where's the roaring of the crowd
Maybe it’s the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds 

There won't be trumpets or balls of fire
To say he's coming,
No roman candles, no angels’ choir
No sound of distant drumming,
He may not be the cavalier
Tall and graceful, fair and strong,
Doesn’t matter just as long as he
Comes along 

But not with trumpets or lightning flashing
Or shining armor,
He may be daring, he may be dashing
Or maybe he's a farmer,
I can wait, what's another day?
He has lots of hills to climb
And a hero doesn't come till
The nick of time 

Don't look for trumpets or whistles tooting
To guarantee him,
There won't be trumpets, but sure as shooting
You'll know him when you see him 

Don't know when, don't know where,
I can't even say that I care
All I know is the minute he turns
And he's suddenly there
There won't be trumpets
There are no trumpets
Who needs trumpets?
Happiness comes in on tiptoe
Well what d'ya know
It's a quiet thing
A very quiet thing

R

I wandered into your wonderland
With eyes open wide
You turned me into your yesterday
But you will remain inside of me
Like I care for you
Oooh, I care for you 

Run wild
Out on the edge of time, child
Carry your dreams away, love
No one can hurt you now
For you are an island. 

I may be broken but understand
My love, we’ll get by
There will be others along the way
My love, they will try to care for me
Like I care for you
Oooh I care for you 

Run wild
Out on the edge of time, child
Carry your dreams away, love
No one can hurt you now
For you are an island. 

Run wild
Out on the edge of time, child
Carry your dreams away, love
No one can hurt you now
For you are an island.

Isn't it rich, 
Aren't we a pair 
Me here at last on the ground, 
You in mid-air 
Send in the clowns 

Isn't it bliss, 
Don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around, 
One who can't move 
Where are the clowns? 
Send in the clowns 

Just when I stopped opening doors 
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours 
Making my entrance again with my usual flair 
Sure of my lines - no one is there 

Don't you love farce, 
My fault I fear 
I thought that you'd want what I want, 
Sorry my dear 
But where are the clowns 
There ought to be clowns
Quick send in the clowns 

What a surprise, 
Who could foresee?
I've come to feel about you what you felt about me
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away
What a surprise, what a cliche 

Isn't it rich, isn't it queer 
Losing my timing this late in my career 
And where are the clowns 
Quick send in the clowns 
Don't bother they're here. 

The shadow of your smile 
When you are gone 
Will color all my dreams 
And light the dawn 
Look into my eyes, my love, and see 
All the lovely things you are to me 
A wistful little star was far too high 
A tear drop kissed your lips and so did I 
Now that I remember spring 
All the joy that love can bring 
I will be remembering 
The shadow of your smile 
Now when I remember spring 
All the love that joy can bring 
I will be remembering 
The shadow of your smile... 

I  don't  have plans and  schemes 
And I don't have hopes  and  dreams 
I don't have anything 
Since I don't have you 
I don't have fond desires 
And I don't have happy hours 
I don’t  have  anything 
Since I don't have you 
I don’t have happiness 
And I guess I never will have it again 
When you walked out on me 
In walked all misery 
And it's been here since then 
For I don't have love to share 
I don’t have one who cares 
I  don't have anything 
Since I don't have you 
Oo...Oo...Oo... 
Mmm... 

When you just give love 
And never  get  love 
You'd better let  love  depart 
I know it's so 
And yet I know 
I can’t get you out of my heart 
You may leave my happy home 
You  took  my love and now you’re  gone 
Since I  fell  for  you 
Love brings such misery and pain 
I guess it’ll never be the same 
Since  I  fell  for  you 
Well, it's too bad 
And it’s too sad 
But I’m in love with  you 
You  love  me 
You  love  me then  you  snub  me 
But what can I do? 
I’m still 
I’m still 
I’m still in love with you 
I guess I’ll never see the light 
I get the blues most every night 
Since  I  fell  for you 
Since  I  fell  for  you... 

Sing, sing a song 
Sing out loud 
Sing out strong 
Sing of good things not bad 
Sing of happy not sad. 

Sing, sing a song 
Make it simple to last 
Your whole life long 
Don't worry that it's not 
Good enough for anyone 
Else to hear 
Just sing, sing a song. 

Sing, sing a song 
Let the world sing along 
Sing of love there could be 
Sing for you and for me. 
Sing, sing a song 
Make it simple to last 
Your whole life long 
Don't worry that it's not 
Good enough for anyone 
Else to hear 
Just sing, sing a song. 

In a small cafe
On a crowded night
In a spot of light
Stands the singer,
And the band begins
And the beat is strong
And the room belongs 
To the singer,
All the people turn to hear
The sad refrain
And catch the cry of pain 
That's in his song
But in his haunted face
And in his searching eyes
There's a sign that something's wrong 

Now the eager crowd
Hangs on every word
But the sounds are slurred by the singer
Till the people feel every aching part
Of the broken heart of the singer
Still the song goes on
About the love he knew
That seemed so sure and true
But turned out wrong
And from the tears he shows 
Nobody really knows
Is he the singer or the song?
Is he the singer or the song? 

As the sad song ends
He hits the final note
It catches in his throat
But comes out strong
And as he bows and goes
Nobody really knows
Was he the singer or the song?
Was he the singer or the song?

Here we are 
Helplessly snowbound
Too alone lost in the storm
And though the wind cries all around us
Still our love keeps us warm
Unafraid, Unafraid snowbound forever
Here with love locked in our arms
And if the world never should find us
In our hearts we don't care
For so deep is our love
And if the world never should find us
In our hearts we don't care
For so deep is our love

Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love 
And how thrilling that moment will be 
When the prince of my dreams comes to me 
He'll whisper "I love you" 
And steal a kiss or two 
Though he's far away 
I'll find my love some day 
Some day when my dreams come true 

Some day we'll say and do 
Things we've been longing to 
Though she's far away 

I'll find my love some day 
Some day when my dreams come true.

Oh, please, make my dreams come true....

Someday, somewhere 
We'll find a new way of living 
Will find a way of forgiving 
Somewhere... 
There's a place for us 
Somewhere a place for us 
Peace and quiet and open air 
Wait for us 
Somewhere 
There's a time for us 
Someday there'll time for us 
Time together and time to spare 
Time to learn, time to care 
Someday, somewhere 
We'll find a new way of living 
Will find there's a way of forgiving 
Somewhere... 
There's a place for us 
A time and place for us 
Hold my hand and we're half way there 
Hold my hand and I'll take you there 
Somehow... 
Someday, somewhere... 

Songbird sings from the heart 
Each word can tear you apart 
I sing - you sing along 
You find your life in my song 
When you need the strength to carry on 
You've got me to turn to 
With the songs that I sing 
And the magic they bring 
They've helped you be strong now 
The song sets you free 
But who sings to me 
I'm all alone now 
Who sings for songbird 
Sometimes 
When I' m all alone 
I sing my saddest song 
Lonely, and no one can see 
This time the song is for me 
I can touch your secret place inside 
And still you don't know me 
With the songs that I sing 
And the magic they bring 
You've learned to be strong now 
The song sets you free 
But who sings to me 
I'm all alone now 
Where is my songbird, 
Where is my songbird, 
Who sings his song for me? 

The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes,
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie 

The summer knows, the summer's wise,
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summertime
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all 

And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For Fall. 

And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For Fall.

Baby I can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I've never felt the same
But I am not a bird
And I am not a plane 

I'm Superman
When you love me it's easy
I can do most anything
Watch me turn around
One wing up and one wing down
I never thought I would
Fall in love for good 

I'm Superman
When you love me its easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love each time, I know I'll have it,
Fell into my life so I grabbed it,
There's nothing I can do
When I'm with you 

I'm Superman
Cause I knew it's easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love each time and I know I'll have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There's nothing I can do
Cause I'm with you
I'm Superman. 

What do I really hear 
What is in the ear of my mind 
Which sounds are true and clear 
And which will never be defined 
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear 
Are still inside my head 
The kindest words I'll ever know 
Are waiting to be said 
The most and entrancing side of all 
Is yet for me to see 
And the dearest love in all the world 
Is waiting somewhere for me 
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me

Wait before we take another breath. 
We've lived another moment of our lives. 
And now it's fast becoming then. 

Wait before you take your lips from mine. 
How quickly where we are is where we've been. 
And give is given. 

Once before I knew that I'd be yours 
A moment didn't seem a thing at all. 
Just like a penny at a fair. 

Once I never dreamed there'd come a time 
When time would need another day 
Another week, another year with you. 
Forever doesn't mean forever anymore. 

Wait before we take another breath, 
Before you take your lips away from mine, 
And where we are is where we've been. 

 Oh wait... 
When you're in love the way we are, 
When every kiss and every touch, 
And every night is like a dream come true 
It's then you realize how small forever is. 
As I now I do. 
That's why I treasure all the moments of my life 
With you. 

There's no chill and yet I shiver
There's no flame and yet I burn
I'm not sure what I'm afraid of
And yet I'm trembling 

There's no storm yet I hear thunder
And I'm breathless why I wonder
Weak one moment then the next I'm fine 

I feel as if I'm falling 
Every time I close my eyes
And flowing through my body 
Is a river of surprise
Feelings are awakening 
I hardly recognize as mine 

What are all these new sensations
What's the secret they reveal
I'm not sure I understand
But I like the way I feel 

Oh why why why why oh 

Why is it that every time 
I close my eyes he's there
The water shining on his skin, 
The sunlight in his hair
And all the while I'm thinking things 
That I can't wait to share with him 

I'm a bundle of confusion
Yet it has a strange appeal
Did it all begin with him 
And the way he makes me feel
I like the way he makes me feel, he makes me feel,
I like the way, I like the way he makes me feel.

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 all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we? 

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget 

So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were 

So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were

Some folks got nothin' but troubles 
So little joy in their lives. 
But wherever we go 
Happiness follows. 
We must be lovin' right. 

It might be the way I adore you. 
Or the way that you hold me tight. 
I don't know the reason 
But I'm believin' 
We must be lovin' right 

All of our friends say 
Love fades away with time. 
But I know they're wrong 
'Cause they've never known 
A love like yours and mine. 

So if the whole world goes crazy 
Let everyone else fuss and fight. 
When all's said and done 
We'll be the lucky ones. 
We must be lovin' right. 

Some folks got nothin' but troubles. 
Oh so little joy in their lives. 
But wherever we go 
Happiness follows. 
We must be lovin' right. 
We must be lovin' right. 

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?

I wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o’clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year,
New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations You'll receive
Ah but it case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose you'd choose me
Oh! But in case I stand one little chance 
Here comes that jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year
New Year's Eve!
Oh, let's get together New Year's
New Year's Eve

What are you doing the rest of your life
North and South and 
East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me 

All the seasons and the times of your days
Are the nickels and the dimes of your day
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me 

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of gold and forests of the night
And when you stand 
Before the candles on a cake
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make 

Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In a world of love you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two 

Through all of my life
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you

Both 
There was a time when we were down and out 
There was a place when we were starting over 
We let the bough break 
We let the heartache in 
Who's sorry now 
Who's sorry now 

Barbra 
There was a world when we were standing still 
And for a moment we were separated 
And then you found her 
You let the stranger in 
Together 
Who's sorry now 

Barbra 
Who's sorry now 
What , what kind of fool 
Tears it apart 
Leaving me pain and sorrow 

Barry 
Losing you now 
Wonderin’ why 
Where will I be tomorrow 

Chorus 
Forever more that’s what we are to be 
Without each other 
We’ll be remembering when... 

Both 
There was a time when we were down and out 
(We cried) 
There was a place when we were starting over 
(We lied) 
We let the bough break 
We let the heartache in 
Who's sorry now 
Who's sorry now 

Barbra 
What , what kind of fool 

Barry 
What , what kind of fool 

Barbra 
Tears it apart 

Barry 
Tears it apart 

Barbra 
Leaving me pain and sorrow 

Barry 
Oh! Losing you now 
How can I win 
Where will I be tomorrow 

Barbra 
Was there a moment when I cut you down 
Played around 
What have I done 
I only apologize 
For being as they say, the last to know 
It has to show 
When someone is in your eyes 

Both 
What, what kind of fool 
Tears it apart 
Leaving me pain and sorrow 
Losing you now 
Wondering why 
Where will I be tomorrow 
What, what kind of fool 
Tears it apart 
Leaving me pain and sorrow 
Losing you now 
How can I win 
Where will I be tomorrow 

When sunny gets blue 
When Sunny gets blue, 
Her eyes get gray and cloudy, 
Then the rain begins to fall. 
Pitter, patter, Pitter patter, 
Love has gone so what can matter? 
No sweet lover man comes to call 
When sunny gets blue 
She breathes the sigh of sadness 
Like the wind that stirs the trees 
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying 
Like some violins are playing 
Weird and haunting melodies 
People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile 
That's how she got a name 
Since that sad affair 
She lost her smile, changed her style 
Somehow she's not the same 
Memories will fade 
And pretty dreams will rise 
Up where her other dreams fell through 
Hurry new love, hurry dear 
To kiss away each lonely tear 
And hold me dear 
'Cause sunny is blue . .. 

PRAYER 
God, our merciful father, 
I’m wrapped in a robe of light, 
Clothed in your glory 
That spreads its wings over my soul. 
Maybe I be worthy 
Amen. 

There’s not a morning I begin without 
A thousand questions running through my mind, 
That I don’t try to find the reason and the logic 
In the world that God designed. 
The reason why 
a bird was given wings, 
If not to fly and praise the sky 
With every song it sings. 
What’s right or wrong, 
Where I belong 
Within the scheme of things... 
And why have eyes that see 
And arms that reach 
Unless you’re meant to know 
There’s something more? 
If not to hunger for the meaning of it all, 
Then tell me what a soul is for? 
Why have the wings 
Unless you’re meant to fly? 
And tell me please, why have a mind 
If not to question why? 
And tell me where- 
Where is it written what it is 
I’m meant to be, that I can’t dare 
To have the chance to pick the fruit of every tree, 
Or have my share of every sweet-imagined possibility? 
Just tell me where, tell me where? 
If I were only meant to tend the nest, 
Then why does my imagination sail 
Across the mountains and the seas, 
Beyond the make-believe of any fairy tale? 
Why have the thirst if not to drink  the wine? 
And what a waste to have a taste 
Of things that can't he mine? 
And tell me where, where is it written what it is 
I'm meant to be, that I can't dare- 
To find the meanings in the mornings that I see, 
Or have my share of every sweet-imagined possibility? 
Just tell me where- where is it written? 
Tell me where- 
Or if it's written anywhere? 

Such a sky you never did see 
Who will tie it all with a ribbon? 
And put it in a box for me 
So I can sit at my leisure 
Whenever things go wrong 
And I can keep it as a treasure 
To last my whole life long. 
Who will buy this wonderful feeling? 
I'm so high I swear I could fly, me oh my! 
I don't want to lose it 
So what am I to do to keep the sky so blue? 
There must be someone who will buy! 

Life is a moment in space,
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place.
I kiss the morning goodbye,
But down inside you know
We never know why. 

The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong.
I turn away from the wall.
I stumble and fall,
But I give you it all. 

I am a woman in love
And I'll do anything
To get you into my world,
And hold you within. 
It's a right I defend 
Over and over again.
What do I do? 

With you eternally mine,
In love there is
No measure of time.
We planned it all at the start
That you and I

Would live in each other’s hearts. 

We may be oceans away,
You feel my love 
I hear what you say.
No truth is ever a lie.
I stumble and fall,
But I give you it all. 

Chorus:

I am a woman in love
And I'll do anything
To get you into my world,
And hold you within. 
It's a right I defend
Over and over again.
What do I do? 

I am a woman in love
And I'm talkin' to you.
Do you know how it feels
What a woman can do?
It's a right I defend
Over and over again

Repeat Chorus

Here we are 
On Earth together 
It’s you and I 
God has mad us fall in love 
It’s true I’ve really found 
Someone like you 
Will it stay 
The love you feel for me 
And will you say 
That you will be by my side 
To see me through 
Until my life is through 
And in my mind 
We can conquer the world 
In love you and I 
You and I, you and I... 
I’m glad 
At least in my life 
I’ve found someone 
That may not be here forever 
To see me through 
But I found strength in you 
I only pray that I have shown you 
A brighter day 
Because that’s all that I am living for 
You see 
Don’t worry what happens to me 
Cause in my mind 
You will stay here always 
In love you and I 
You and I, you and I 
You and I, you and I 
You and I 
In my mind 
We can conquer the world 
In love you and I 
You and I, you and I 
You and I... 

At words poetic I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best
Instead of getting it off my chest
To let 'em rest unexpressed
I hate parading my serenading
As I'll probably miss a bar
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you how great you are 
You're the top 
You're the Collosseum
You're the top 
You're the Louvre museum. 
You're the melody from a symphony by Strauss. 
You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse. 
You're the Nile
You're the tower of Pisa. 
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa. 
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop. 
But if baby I'm the bottom, you're the top. 

You're the top
You're Mahatma Ghandi. 
You're the top
You are Napoleon brandy. 
You're the purple light of a summer night in Spain.
You're the National Gallery, 
You're Garbo's salary, 
You're cellophane. 
You are sublime
You're a turkey dinner. 
You're the time, the time of the Derby winner. 
I'm a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop.
But if baby I'm the bottom, you're the top, top. 

Steve, there is something I got to tell ya.. 
What is it Judy?
Well, umm… 
You're the top (I am?) - mmm …You're a Waldorf's salad
Oh No, no let me say it
You're the top (me too?) - That’s right!You're a Berlin ballad!
Oh, that’s nice! You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire 
(Actually I don't dance very well)
You're an O'Neill drama, You're Whistler's Mother - 
Mama (oh), You're Camembert. 
You're a rose, (mmm, sweet) 
You're Inferno's Dante. 
That’s a very intellectual reference.You're the nose - Watch it!I mean 
Whatwhatwhawha what- Well,on the great Durante. That’s better
I'm a lazy lout who is just about to stop Let's not stop
But if baby I'm the bottom, 
She's the one for me
And I've got 'im
Coz if baby I'm the bottom, 
You're the top. 

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is goin' right,
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night 

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All ya have to do is call
And I'll be there, 
You've got a friend, you've got a friend. 

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds,
And that old North wind begins to blow,
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
And soon you'll hear me knocking at your door 

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
All ya have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will 

Now ain't it good to know 
That you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you yes and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh but don't you let them 

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' runnin' runnin' yeah' to see you again
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall 
All ya have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will, yes I will
You've got a friend, you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know 
Ain't it good to know 
Ain't it good to know 
You've got a friend 
You've got a friend
