"Send In The Clowns"

   
[From "A Little Night Music"]

Isn't it rich, are 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'd 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 a 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'd 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

"Pretty Women / The Ladies Who Lunch"

   
[From "Sweeney Todd" And "Company"]

Pretty women
Fascinating
Sippin coffee
Dancing, pretty women
Pretty women
Are a wonder, pretty women
Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them cheers the air
Pretty women
Silhouetted
Stay within you
Glancing stay forever
Breathing lightly, pretty women,
Pretty women
Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair
Even when they leave
They still are there
They're there
Sipping coffee
Here's to the ladies who lunch
Everybody Laugh
Lounging in their caftans and
Planning a brunch
On their own behalf
Off to the gym
Then to a fitting,
Claiming they're fat
And looking grim,
Cause they've been sitting
Choosing a hat
I'll drink to that!

Here's to the girls who just watch
Aren't they the best
When they get depressed,
It's a bottle of scotch
Plus a little jest!
Another chance to disapprove
Another brilliant zinger
Another reason not to move
Another vodka stinger
I'll drink to that!

Here's to the girls who play wife
Aren't they too much!
Keeping house but clutching a copy of "Life"
Just to keep in touch
The ones who follow the rules
And meet themselves at the schools
Too busy to know that they're fools
Aren't they a gem!
I'll drink to them!
Let's all drink to...

Pretty women, fascinating
How they make a man sing...

**Here's to the girls on the go,
Everybody tries
Look into their eyes
And you'll see what they know,
Everybody dies
A toast to that invincible bunch
The dinosaurs surviving the crunch
Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch
Everybody rise
Everybody rise,

Pretty women at their mirrors
In their gardens
On committees, telephoning
Window shopping table hopping
Pretty women giving parties
Never stopping
Gossip swapping, capsule popping

Everybody rise, everybody rise,
Everybody rise, everybody rise-
Rise-rise-rise...
Pretty women rise!

"Can't Help Lovin' That Man"

   
[From "Show Boat"]

Oh listen sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell you why
There is no reason why I should love that man,
It must be somethin' that de angels have planned.
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly,
I gotta love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine
When he goes away, that's a rainy day,
And when he comes back that day is fine,
The sun will shine!
He can come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.
Can't help lovin' that man of mine.

"I Loves You Porgy / Porgy I's Your Woman Now (Bess, You Is My Woman)"

   
[From "Porgy And Bess"]

I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me,
I wants to stay here
With you forever and I'd be glad
I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hand
If you can keep me,
I wants to stay here
With you forever
I got my man
Someday, I know he's comin' back
To call me...
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy,
Deep inside me,
But when he calls I know I have to go
Porgy, I's your woman now
I is, I is...
And I ain't never goin' nowhere
'Less you shares the fun
Want no wrinkle on your brow,
No how
Because the sorrow of the past is all
Done, done
My Porgy,
Now the real happiness is just begun
There's no wrinkle on my brow
No how
And I ain't goin'
You hear me saying, if you ain't goin',
With you I'm stayin'

Porgy, I's yo' woman now,
I's yours forever...
Mornin' time and evenin' time
And summer time and winter time
Mmm...
Oh my Porgy...
My man Porgy...
From this minute I'm tellin' you,
I keep this vow...
Porgy, I's yo' woman now!

"Somewhere"

   
[From "West Side Story"]

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...

"The Places You Find Love"

   
It was raining when I met you
You were soaking wet
No time to be impressed
I remember so much later on
I knew that you were someone
I would not forget
Everybody's searching, hungry for the glamour
You know too many hearts are in a rush
No matter how you try to
You can't explain
The places you find love
I can't explain it, but I can feel it
All around me
The need to find the place
Where feeling can be safe
It's not money that buys happiness
No, it's not the shine of silver that puts the heart to rest
Everybody's pushing
The clock is always running and
No one ever seems to have enough
And when you least expect it
You come upon the places you find love-love-love
Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah
It's a river never stopping
Winding in and out
But you should never doubt
It will lead you
To the ocean someday
There's no way to fight it
Let it carry you away
Everybody's dreaming waiting for the feeling
That moment when they finally rise above
But it's always in the giving
That gets you to the places you find love-love
Remember in the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive-yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up-no,
'Cause they still believe in love, sweet love
Love, love, love, love, love
Remember in a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart-yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you
Like a million tiny stars
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
Seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive-yeah, yeah
Little children laughing and playing
'Cause they haven't learned to start hating
Never giving up-no
They still believe in love-sweet love
In a flash the feeling can hit you
After all the times that it missed you
Reaching deep inside to find your secret heart, yeah, yeah
Look around you notice you're flying
And for once you're not even trying
City lights below you like a million tiny stars
In the poorest part of town
Where the sun never reaches the ground
And seeing's not believing
The feeling stays alive-year, yeah...

"On My Way To You"

   
So often as I wait for sleep
I find myself reciting
The words I've or should have said
Like scenes that need rewriting
The smiles I never answered
Doors perhaps I should have opened
Songs forgotten in the morning
I relive the roles I've played
The tears I may have squandered
The many pipers I have paid
Along the roads I've wandered
Yet all the time I knew it
Love was somewhere out there waiting
Though I may regret a kiss or two
If I had changed a single day
What went amiss or went astray
I may have never found my way to you
If I had changed a single day
What went amiss or went astray
I may have never found my way to you
I wouldn't change a thing that happened
On my way to you...

"Till I Loved You"
(feat. Don Johnson)

   
[The Love Theme from Goya]

Nothing lived, nothing grew
Till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
You were my friend, good friend
And sometimes I would wonder
Could the one to save me
Possibly be you?
I was lost, I was blind
Till I loved you
Wouldn't see, couldn't find someone new
You were my friend, dear friend
I held you close to my heart
But I never thought that I'd feel the way I do
Until that certain moment when I loved you
And now I can't ever imagine
My living without you
It seems I spend all of my time
Thinking only about you
Once I dreamed in a dream I would find you
Never thought that the dream would come true
Until that curtain lifted, parted, drifted from you
Until that certain moment when I loved you
Until that certain moment
Certain moment when I loved you
When I loved you
Nothing lived, nothing grew
Till I loved you
Every sky ever gray, never blue
Empty days, empty nights
Sometimes I wonder
Could the one to save me possibly be you?
Ooooohh I was lost, I was blind till I found you
Couldn't see, couldn't find someone new
You came along, stole my heart completely
And I thought, could the one to save me possibly be you?

"Love Light"

   
Love Light shine on me
Make it last this time
'Cause I think I might find out
That there's no rehearsal
And, I don't want to miss one bit if this is it
Here's my prayer
We can make it last
If we learn to tell the truth
And to trust each other
And be unafraid of what we'll see
With time and love we learn
When we accept each other
That's when our lives can come together
Let him stay by my side
If it lasts this time
Then the shadows of the past
Will remain behind us
And finally we will be free
With time and love we learn
We have this chance to grow
We have this chance to know each other
Time, all we need is time to feel
All of the love inside us
And then our lives will come together
I know with time and love
Shine on both of us tonight
With love and light
Nothing's gonna change our love tonight
With love and light
Shine on me tonight
With time and love...

"All I Ask Of You"

   
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you . . .
Then say you love me every winter morning,
Turn my head with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me with you, now and always . . .
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you . . .
Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light.
You're safe: no-one will find you
Your fears are far behind you . . .
All I need is freedom,
A world that's warm and bright
And you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me . . .
Then say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime . . .
Let me lead you from your solitude . . .
Say you need me with you here, beside you . . .
Anywhere you go,let me go too
That's all I ask of you . . .
Say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me, each night, each morning . . .
Say you feel the way I do
That's all I ask of you . . .
Anywhere you go let me go too . . .
Love me -that's all I ask of you . . .
