Romeo & Juliette

A love struck Romeo sings a streets serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe, how about it?

Juliet says hey it’s Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
He’s underneath the window she’s singing hey la my boyfriend’s back
You shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start
And I bet and you exploded in my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet…

Come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and promises they hold
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die
There’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet…

I can’t do the talks like a talk on TV
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love with you

All I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I’d do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die
There’s a place for us you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong
Juliet…

A love struck Romeo sings a streets serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
Says something like you and me babe, how about it?

All That You Have Is Your Soul

Oh my mama told me
Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don’t give or sell your soul away
All that you have is your soul

Don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
All that you have is your soul

I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
Married a man he stole my heart away
Gave his love but what a high price I paid
All that you have is your soul

Don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
All that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I’d make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I’d made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can’t possess another
All that you have is your soul

Don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
All that you have is your soul

I thought, thought that I could find a way
Beat the system
Make a deal and have no debts to pay
Take it all, I’d take it all, I’d run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
All that you have is your soul

Don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
All that you have is your soul

Here I am, I’m waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
Hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
Wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
All that you have is your soul

Don’t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don’t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
All that you have is your soul

Oh my mama told me
Cause she say she learned the hard way
She say she wanna spare the children
She say don’t give or sell your soul away
All that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul…

Tracy Chapman

Secret Garden

She’ll let you in her house
If you come knocking late at night
She’ll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right

If you pay the price
She’ll let you deep inside
There’s a secret garden she hides

She’ll let you in her car
To go driving round
She’ll let you into the parts of herself
That’ll bring you down

She’ll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don’t think twice

You’ve gone a million miles
How far’d you get that place where
You can’t remember and you can’t forget

She’ll lead you down a path
There’ll be tenderness in the air
She’ll let you come just far enough
So you know she’s really there
And she’ll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She’s got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away…

Bruce Springsteen

Wonderful Tonight

It’s late in the evening; she’s wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up, brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she ask me, “Do I look all right?”
And I say, “Yes, you look wonderful tonight.”

Go to a party, everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady is walking around with me.
And then she ask me, “Do you feel all right?”
And I say, “Yes, I feel wonderful tonight.”

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don’t realize how much I love you.

It’s time to go home now and I’ve got aching head,
So I give her the car keys, she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, “My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight.”

Eric Clapton

I Know What It Is To Be Young But…

When we are young age has no meaning
I never gave it a second thought
Until one day along came this old man
And this is what he said to me
Yes this is what he said to me

I know what it is to be young
But you, you don’t know what it is to be old
Someday you’ll be saying the same thing
Time takes away so the story is told
I have so many questions
For the wise man I met
Couldn’t find all the answers
No one has as yet
There’ll be days to remember
Full of laughter and tears
After summer comes winter
So go the years
So my friend let’s make music together
I’ll play the old while you sing me the new
In time when your young days are over
There’ll be someone sharing their time with you

I know what it is to be young
But you don’t know what it is to be old

So my friend let’s make music together
I’ll play the old while you sing me the new
In time when your young days are over
There’ll be someone sharing their time with you
There’ll be someone sharing their time with you…

Orson Welles

The One I Love

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire
Fire
Fire
Fire…

Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
Have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here…

Pink Floyd

Closer

So, we’re alone again
I wish it were over
We seem to never end
Only get closer
To the point where I can take no more

The clouds in your eyes
Down your face they pour
Won’t you be the new one burn to shine
I take the blue ones every time
Walk me down your broken line
All you have to do is cry
Is all you have to do is cry

Hush my baby now
Your talking is just noise and won’t lay me down
Amongst  your toys in a room where I can take no more

The clouds in your eyes
Down your face they pour
Won’t you be the new one burn to shine
Take the blue ones every time
Walk me down your broken line
All you have to do is cry
Is all you have to do is cry

Photographs and brightly colored paper
Are your mask you wear in this caper
That is our life
We walk right into the strife
And a tear from your eye brings me home

Won’t you be the new one burn to shine
I take the blue ones every time
Walk me down your broken line
All you have to do is cry…

Joshua Radin

A Song For You

I’ve been so many places in my life and time
I’ve sung a lot of songs I’ve made some bad rhyme
I’ve acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I’ve treated you unkindly but girl can’t you see
There’s no one more important to me
So darling can’t you please see through me
We’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I’m so much better so if my words don’t come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
When my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you

And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing my song for you
You…

Michael Buble

La Cienega Just Smiled

Oh the night…here it comes again
It’s on with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt
How’d I end up feeling so bad
Such a little girl

And I hold you close in the back of my mind
Feels so good but damn it makes me hurt
I’m too scared to know to how I feel about you now
La Cienega just smiles…see ya around

I hold you close in back of my mind
Raise my glass cause either way I’m dead
Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore
One breaks my body and the other breaks my soul
La Cienega just smiles… waves goodbye

Oh the night…here it comes again
It’s off with the jeans, the jacket and the shirt
How’d I end up feeling so bad
Such a little girl

And I hold you close in back of my mind
Feels so good damn it makes me hurt
I’m too scared to know feel about you now
How feel about you now
La Cienega just smiles and says, I’ll see you around…

Way Back Into Love

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love

I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere

I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end…

Hugh Grant & Haley Bennett

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

Tonight you’re mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I’m the only one, the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning star

I’d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, cause I won’t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Amy Winehouse

Boston

In the light of the sun
Is there anyone,
Oh, it has begun
Oh, dear you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
This world you must have crossed you said
You don’t know me, and you don’t even care
Oh, yeah
She said you don’t know me,
And you don’t wear my chains
Oh, yeah
Yeah

Essential yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts, across an open field
When the flowers gaze at you
Not the only ones who cry when they see you
You said you don’t know me, and you don’t even care
Oh, yeah
She said you don’t know me, you don’t wear my chains
Oh, yeah

She said I think I’m going to Boston
I think I’ll start a new life
I think I’ll start it over
No one knows my name
I’ll get out of California
I’m tired of the weather
I think I’ll get a lover
I’ll fly them out to Spain

I think I’ll go to Boston
I think that I’m just tired
I think I need a new town to leave this all behind
I think I need a sun rise
I’m tired of the sun set
Here it’s nice in the summer
Some snow would be nice
Oh, yeah

Boston! No one knows my name
No one knows my name
No one knows my name

In Boston no one knows my name…

I Could Not Ask For More

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I’m alive
These are the moments I’ll remember all my life
I found all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have’s come true
Right here in this moment is right where I’m meant to be
Here with you here with me

These are the moments I thank God that I’m alive
These are the moments I’ll remember all my life
I’ve got all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have’s come true
Right here in this moment is right where I’m meant to be
Here with you here with me

Could not ask for more than the love you give me
Coz it’s all I’ve waited for
And I could not ask for more
And I could not ask for more…

Edwin Mccain

Faerie Queen

Over on the hill
There grows a flower
Growing quicker still
More perfect by the hour
Deep within that flower
Is a tiny chair
All a-fringed with gold
The fairy queen sits there…

It is in her breath
That the wind does blow
It is in her heart
As pure as winter snow
It is in her tears
Crystal raindrops fall
And within her years
That she is in us all…

Oh dark eyes
Help me see
Just one look
She is gone
Look on me
We are one
Fading with the setting sun…

As the willow bows
To her majesty
All the forest flowers
Love her mystery
Who would not admire
Who does not adore
Who does not desire
Who wishes to see more?

Oh dark eyes
Help me see
Just one look
She is gone
Look on me
We are one
Fading with the setting sun
Fading with the setting sun
Fading with the setting sun…
