With Love or The Phantom Unmasked

 

 

I Dreamed a Dream; What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?; With You I'm Born Again; Every Time We Say Goodbye; The Story of My Life; Phantom Unmasked only-- Being Alive; Phantom Unmasked only-- The Music of the Night; When I Fall in Love; If; On My Own; Why did I Choose You?; Come Rain or Come Shine

 

This album has two different names (presumably for different releases on either side of the Atlantic) It can be either found as 'With love' or 'The phantom unmasked'. However, the songs 'Being alive' and 'The music of the night' are only on 'Phantom unmasked', and not on 'With love'. All other songs are on both albums.

(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 dreamed a dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by/ When hope was high/ And life worth living/ I dreamed that love would never die / I dreamed that God would be forgiving/ Then I was young and unafraid/ And dreams were made and used and wasted/ There was no ransom to be paid/ No song unsung, no wine untasted/ But the tigers come at night/ With their voices soft as thunder /As they tear your hope apart/ And they turn your dream to shame /He slept a summer by my side /He filled my days with endless wonder/ He took my childhood in his stride/ But he was gone when autumn came /And still I dream he'll come to me/ That we will live the years together /But there are dreams that cannot be/ And there are storms we cannot weather/ I had a dream my life would be /So different from this hell I'm living /So different now from what it seemed /Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

What are you doing the rest of your life?

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

Being alive

Someone to hold you too close /Someone to hurt you too deep /Someone to sit in your chair /And ruin your sleep And make you aware of being alive /Someone to need you too much /Someone to know you too well /Someone to pull you up short /And put you through hell /And give you support for being alive-being alive /Make me alive, make me confused /Mock me with praise, let me be used /Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive! /Somebody hold me too close /Somebody force me to care /Somebody make me come through /I'll always be there /As frightened as you of being alive/ Being alive, being alive! /Someone you have to let in /Someone whose feelings you spare /Someone who, like it or not /Will want you to share a little, a lot of being alive /Make me alive, make me confused /Mock me with praise, let me be used /Vary my days, but alone is alone, not alive! /Somebody crowd me with love /Somebody force me to care /Somebody make me come through /I'll always be there /As frightened as you to help us survive/ Being alive, being alive, being alive, being alive

Music Of The Night

Night-time sharpens /heightens each sensation /Darkness stirs and /wakes imagination /Silently the senses /abandon thier defences /Slowly, gently /night unfurls its splendour /Grasp it, sense it /tremulous and tender /Turn your face away /from the garish light of day /turn your thoughts away /from cold, unfeeling light /and listen to the music of the night /Close your eyes /and surrender to your darkest dreams! /Purge your thoughts /of the life you knew before! /Close your eyes /let your spirit start to soar!/ And you'll live as you've never lived before /Softly, deftly /music shall surround you /Feel it, hear it /closing in around you /Open up your mind /let your fantasies unwind /in this darkness /which you know you cannot fight /the darkness of the music of the night /Let your mind /start a journey through a strange, new world! /Leave all thoughts /of the world you knew before! /Let your soul /Take you where you long to be! /Only then can you belong to me /Floating, falling /sweet intoxication! /Touch me, trust me / savour each sensation!/Let the dream begin /let your darker side give in /to the power of the music that I write /the power of the music of the night /You alone/can make my song take flight /help me /make the music of the night

On my own

And now I'm all alone again/ Nowhere to turn, no one to go to/ Without a home, without a friend/ Without a face to say hello to/ And now the night is near /Now I can make believe she's here /Sometimes I walk alone at night /When everybody else is sleeping/ I think of her and then I'm happy/ With the company I'm keeping/ The city goes to bed/ And I can live inside my head /On my own/ Pretending she's beside me/ All alone, I walk with her till morning/ Without him/ I feel her arms around me/ And when I lose my way I close my eyes/ And she has found me /In the rain the pavement shines like silver/ All the lights are misty in the river/ In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight/ And all I see is her and me for ever and forever /And I know it's only in my mind/ That I'm talking to myself and not to her/ And although I know that she is blind/ Still I say, there's a way for us /I love her/ But when the night is over/ She is gone, the river's just a river/ Without her the world around me changes/ The trees are bare and everywhere/ The streets are full of strangers /I love her /But every day I'm learning/ All my life I've only been pretending/ Without me her world will go on turning /A world that's full of happiness/ That I have never known! /I love her/ I love her/ I love her/ But only on my own.

Why did I choose you?

Why did I choose you? /What did I see in you? /I saw the heart you hide so well /I saw a quiet man who had a gentle way /A way that caught me in its glowing spell /Why did I want you? /What could you offer me? /A love to last a life time through /And when I lost my heart so many years ago/ I lost it lovingly and willingly to you/ If I had to choose again/ I would still choose you...

Come rain or come shine

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you /Come rain or come shine /High as a mountain and deep as a river /Come rain or come shine /I guess when you met me /It was just one of those things /But don't ever bet me /Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me /You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me /Rain or shine /Happy together, unhappy together /And won't it be fine /Days may be cloudy or sunny /We're in or we're out of the money /I'm with you always /I'm with you rain or shine /You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me /Come rain or come shine /Happy together, unhappy together /And won't it be fine /Days may be cloudy or sunny /We're in or we're out of the money /But I'm with you always /I'm with you, I'm with you rain or shine/ I'm with you, I'm with you rain or shine
