Songs from the stage and screen
West side story Medley; What'll I'll do; Unexpected song; If I loved you; Before the parade passes by; When you wish upon a star; In the still of the night; Memory; Not a day goes by; Bring him home; You'll never walk alone
(some of these lyrics may not be correct as I have taken the lyrics of the songs from the musicals, or films etc. that they have been in. If you have the correct lyrics for any of these songs; please e-mail me.)
I have never felt like this /For once I'm lost for words /Your smile has really thrown me /This is not like me at all /I never thought I'd know /The kind of love you've shown me /Now no matter where I am /No matter what I do /I see your face appearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song /That only we are hearing /I don't know what is going on /Can't work it out at all /Whatever made you choose me /I just can't believe my eyes /You look at me as though /You couldn't bear to lose me /Now no matter where I am /No matter what I do /I see your face appearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song /That only we are hearing /I have never felt like this /For once I'm lost for words /Your smile has really thrown me /This is not like me at all /I never thought I'd know /The kind of love you've shown me /Now no matter where I am /No matter what I do /I see your face appearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song /That only we are hearing /Like an unexpected song /An unexpected song.
If I loved you/ Time and again /I would try to say/ All I'd want you to know /If I loved you/ Words wouldn't come /in an easy way/ Round in circles I'd go /Longing to tell you/ But afraid and shy/ I'd let my golden chances /Pass me by /Soon you'd leave me/ Off you would go /In the mist of day/ Never never to know/ How I loved you/ If I loved you.
Before the parade passes by/ Before it goes on, and only I'm left /Before the parade passes by /I've gotta get in step while there's still time left /I'm ready to move out in front /Life without life has no reason or rhyme left /With the rest of them /With the best of them /I wanna hold my head up high /I need got a goal again /I need got a drive again/ I wanna feel my heart coming alive again /Before the parade passes by/ Before the parade passes by /I've gotta go and taste Saturday's high life /Before the parade passes by /I've gotta get some life back into my life /I'm ready to move out in front /I've had enough of just passing by life /With the rest of them /With the best of them /I can hold my head up high /For I've got a goal again /I've got a drive again /I wanna feel my heart coming alive again /Before the parade passes by /When the parade passes by /Listen and hear that brass harmony growing /When the parade passes by /Pardon me if my old spirit is showing /All of those lights over there /Seem to be telling me where I'm going/ When the whistles blow /And the cymbals crash /And the sparklers light the sky /I'm gonna raise the roof /I'm gonna carry on /Give me an old trombone /Give me an old baton/ Before the parade passes by!
Midnight/ Not a sound from the pavement/ Has the moon lost her mem'ry/ She is smiling alone/ In the lamplight/ The withered leaves collect at my feet/ And the wind begins to moan/ Memr'y/ All alone in the moonlight/ I can smile at the old days/ I was beautiful then/ I remember/ The time I knew what happiness was/ Let the mem'ry live again/ Every street lamp/ Seems to beat/ A fatalistic warning/ Someone mutters/ And a street lamp gutters/ And soon it will be morning/ Daylight/ I must wait for the sunrise/ I must think of a new life/ And I musn't give in/ When the dawn breaks/ Tonight will be a memory too/ And a new day will begin/ Burnt out ends of/ Smoky days/ The stale cold smell of morning/ A street lamp dies/ Another night is over/ Another day is dawning/ Touch me/ It's so easy to leave me/ All alone with my memories/ Of my days in the sun/ If you touch me/ You'll understand what happiness is/ Look a new day has begun
God on high /Hear my prayer /In my need /You have always been there /He is young /He's afraid /Let him rest /Heaven blessed /Bring him home /Bring him home /Bring him home /He's like the son I might have known /If God had granted me a son /The summers die /One by one /How soon they fly /On and on /And I am old /And will be gone /Bring him peace /Bring him joy /He is young /He is only a boy /You can take /You can give /Let him be /Let him live /If I die, let me die /Let him live /Bring him home /Bring him home /Bring him home.
