WEEKEND IN NEW ENGLAND
(R. Edelman)
Last night, I waved goodbye
Now it seems years
I'm back in the city, where nothin' is clear
But thoughts of me, holdin' you, bringin' us near
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearnin' end?
And when will I hold you again?
Time in New England took me away
Long rocky beaches and you by the bay
We started a story whose end must now wait
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearnin' end?
And when will I hold you again?
I feel the change comin'
I feel the wind blow
I feel brave and daring
I feel my blood flow, oh
With you I could bring out all the love that I have
With you there's a heaven, so earth ain't so bad again...
And tell me
When will our eyes meet
When can I touch you?
When will this strong yearnin' end?
And when will I hold you again?

AGAINST ALL ODDS
(Phil Collins)
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
And there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now

GOODBYE GIRL
(David Gates)
All your life you've waited
For love to come and stay
And now that I have found you
You must not slip away
I know it's hard believin'
The words you've heard before
But darling you must trust them just once more
Because baby, goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't be long away
`Cause the things you do, my goodbye girl
Will bring me back to you
I know you've been taken
Afraid to hurt again
You fight the love you feel for me
Instead of givin' in
Well, I can wait forever
For helping you to see
That I was meant for you
And you for me
So remember goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell ya goodbye doesn't mean we'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart, you still would have my heart
So forget your past, my goodbye girl
`Cause now you're home at last

THE LAST TIME I FELT LIKE THIS
Duet with Vicki Nievera Davis
(A. Bergman/M. Bergman/M. Hamlisch)
Hello, I don't even know your name
But I'm hopin' all the same
This is more than just a simple hello?
Hello, do I smile and look away
Yes, I think I'd smile and stay to see
Where this might go
`Cause the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love
Falling and feeling
I'd never fall in love again
Yes the last time I felt like this
Was long before I knew
What I'm feeling now with you
Hello, I can't wait 'til we're alone
Somewhere quite on your own
So that we could fall the rest of the way
I know that before the night is through
I'll be talking love to you
Meaning every word I say
`Cause the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love
Falling and feeling
I'd never fall in love again
Yes, the last time I felt like this
Was long before I knew
What I'm feeling now with you
Oh, the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love
Falling and feeling
I'd never fall in love again
Yes, the last time I felt like this
Was long before I knew
What I'm feeling now with you

SO VERY HARD TO GO
(S. Kupka/E. Castillo)
Ain't nothin' I can say, nothin' I can do
I feel so bad, yeah, I feel so blue, hmmm
I got to make it right for everyone concerned
Even if it's me, if it means just me
That's getting burned
`Cause I could never make you unhappy
No, I couldn't do that, girl
Only wish I didn't love you so
Makes it so, so very hard to go
`Cause I love you so
I, I love you so...
I knew the time would come
I'd have to pay from my mistake
I can't blame you for what you're doin' to me girl
Even though my heart aches
Your dreams have all come true
Just the way you planned them
So I just step aside, I'm gonna step aside
And lend a helping hand babe
`Cause I could never make you unhappy
No, I couldn't do that girl
Only wish I didn't love you so
Makes it so very hard to go
`Cause I love you so
I, I love you so
It ain't easy to walk away
When a man loves somebody
Hey...yeah

PLEASE DON'T ASK ME
(G. Oble)
Please don't ask me what am I thinkin'
It's about you
Please don't ask me
I never can see you
What can I do?
My first impulse is to run to your side
My heart's not free and so I must hide
Please don't ask me what I'm gonna say to you
I toss and turn, can't sleep at night
It's worrying me
I go to bed, turn out the light it's your face I see
It only hurts the more I pretend
That we could ever be more than friends
Please don't ask me why I'm so in love with you
You could easily make me happy, that I know
And I'll try my best to never tell you so
I will sing to you my love songs and pretend
And I'll keep this secret right down `til the end
Please don't ask me why I'm not talking
I just can't explain
And please don't ask me why I go walkin' out in the rain
I could not live the lie it would take
To have you near would be a mistake
Please don't ask me why I'm still in love with you
No, please don't ask me...

SOME GOOD THINGS NEVER LAST
(M. Radice)
It's three in the morning
You're nowhere in sight
And all that I wanted was
To be with you tonight
I've watched love get closer
And then fade away
I've seen you believe in me
I've seen you try to stay
But what good is holdin' on
When you know that all you
Can think about is letting go
They say if you love someone
Then set them free
If they come back again
Then in the end it was meant to be
I thought we were lovers
I thought we were friends
I guess when reality steps in
The dreaming ends
We live for the future
We learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last
And all you can think about is letting go
Be true to yourself my love
That's all I ever wanted you to be
Just don't forget to smile
When you think of me
I reached for the stars
I have got them in sight
There's someone who really needs me
Out there in the night
We live for the future
We will learn from the past
No matter how hard we try
Some good things never last
Why can't they last?

SEND IN THE CLOWNS
(B. Sondheim)
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground
And 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?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're there
Isn't it rich
Isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late
In my career
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns
Well, maybe next year

SEPARATE LIVES
Duet with Zsa Zsa Padilla
(Stephen Bishop)
You called me from the room in your hotel
Oh, full of romance to someone that you met
Telling me how sorry you were
Leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes
When you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely, too
You have no right
To ask my how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on holdin' on too tight
Now that we're living separate lives
Well, I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me
Will you ever let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living separate lives
Oh, it's so difficult
Love leads to isolation
So you build that wall
Yes, you build that wall
And you make it stronger
Well, you have no right
To ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Someday I might find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes, for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

SOMEONE THAT I USED TO LOVE
(M. Masser/G. Goffin)
When I wake up each morning
Trying to find myself
And if I'm ever the least unsure
I always remind myself
Though you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on
You're only someone
That I used to love
As for me, it's getting down
To the last unspoken part
When you must begin to ease
The pain of a broken heart
Tell me why should I even care
If I have to lose your love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
I wish it was enough for you
All the love I had to give
And I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know
How much I tried, I really tried
And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won't find me
Being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give
But you just refused my love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
And I did my best to keep you satisfied
I guess you'll never know
How much I tried, I really tried
And if ever our paths should cross again
Well, you won't find me
Being the one to get lost again
Once I had so much to give
But you just refused my love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
Tonight you're someone in this world
That I'll always choose to love
From now on you're only someone
That I used to love
Hoo, from now on you're only someone
That I used to love

THE GREATEST LOVE AFFAIR
Duet with Bert Nievera
(J. Osborne/S. Dees)
We've seen the broken hearted
Now love started
And then fade away
Well love ran out of energy
Somewhere along the way
Oh but lady, no lessons to be learned for us
We made it
The mountains we have climbed are far behind
It's been a life long, a love song
With every lyric saying that we're still number one
And now composed
Our love has grown
And we have turned the prayer into the
Greatest love affair of them all
And now we both should cherish
The treasure at the rainbow's end
The game is finally over
I knew that we would win
Oh and lady, the lesson we have learned
Have helped us made it
The mountains we have climbed are far behind
It's been a life long, a love song
With every lyric saying that we're still number one
And now composed
Our love has grown
And we have turned the prayer into the
Greatest love affair of them all
From now on in it will be easy
So easy for you and I
We've found the purpose and the reason
The need is on inside
It's been a life long, a love song
With every lyric saying that we're still number one
And now composed
Our love has grown
And we have turned the prayer into the
Greatest love affair of them all...

TOO SHY TO SAY
(S. Wonder)
You make me smile
You make me sing
You make me feel good to everything
You bring me up, when I've been down
This only happened when you are around
And I can't go on this way
When it's stronger everyday
But being too shy to say
I really love you
I wanna fly, away with you
Until there's nothing more for us to do
I wanna be, more than a friend
Until the end of an endless end
And I can't go on this way
When it's stronger everyday
But being too shy to say
That I really love you
And I can't go on this way
Feeling stronger everyday
But being too shy to say
That I really love you
I do...

KAHIT ISANG SAGLIT
(L. Ocampo)
Pa'no ang puso kong ito
Ngayong lumisan ka sa buhay ko
Kung kailan sumikat ang araw at
Lumigaya ang aking mundo
Pa'no nang mga bukas ko
Ngayong wala ka na sa piling ko
Paano ang mga pangarap
Mga pangako sa bawat isa
San'y ika'y muling makita ko
Damhin ang tibok ng puso mo
Sana'y yakapin mo ako muli
Kahit sandali, kahit isang saglit
Mayakap ka
Puso ko'y biglang naulila
Iyong iniwanan na nag-iisa

(I'VE HAD) THE TIME OF MY LIFE
(F. Previte/J. Denicola/D. Markowicz)
I've been waiting for so long
Now I fin'lly found someone stand by me
Saw the writing on the wall
Then we built this magic fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly (no baby)
So we take each other's hand
`Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember...
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I tell you something this could be love!
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
yes, I swear it's so true
And I owe it all to you...hey, baby
With my body and soul,
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it grow
Don't be afraid to lose control
Just remember...
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I tell you something this could be love...
Because I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before, yes
I swear it's so true
And I owe it all to you...
`Cause I've had the time of my life
And I charge thru every open door
Well I find all true and I owe it all to you

THE GIFT OF TIME
(M. Nievera/L. Ocampo)
I know I've hurt you once before
Your heart can't be denied
The right to break and mend again
I know it takes some time (oh, so much time)
If you believe in love
The way that I believe it's true
That you belong to me
All I can give to you...
The gift of time
Is on my mind
Time and space is what you want
I can't give you anymore
The gift of time
All my life
I will search the whole world over
Until I find you once again
The gift of time...
I heard a whisper from within
Your voice it soothed my soul
Told me a story of
A love I could not hold (I could not hold)
I can't help but cry each time
You pretend that I'm not there
I know it's my mistake
I should know how much I cared
We can find that love again
We can start anew
Give me a chance to prove myself
Let me hold you, let me hold you...
