Basia Basia On Broadway Lyrics
1.Copernicus

Written:Basia Trzetrzelewska/Danny White

This is a song about the place I come from
It's not on the moon at all
Where people's hearts are filled with passion
I miss it so, 'cause I'm here chasing love
In my land of great romantics
I'm the biggest dreamer of them all

No way to stop their desire to change
And to improve our world
One invented Esperanto
Ready to move and to try something new
I'm convinced that Chopin too
Would dig samba if he had a chance to groove

Though it's true
That I only know very few simple words of your language
I've cracked it I've decided
Because the only words we need to communicate
Are the ones that can help me say
'I do love you'
And that make me understand you love me too

Our love will take this globe by storm
If it's London, Warsaw or New York
'Cause all around the world
People want to love and be loved

Open your eyes
There's so much we don't know
We don't even realise
So you might get a better picture
And if I say, that on this planet today
We all have the same hearts,
I don't claim I'm Curie or Copernicus

Nasza miloscia podbijemy glob
Londyn, Warszawe albo Nowy Jork
Sporjz tylko wsyscy w krag
Chca byc kochani i kochac chca


2.Cruising for Bruising

Written:Basia Trzetrzelewska/Danny White

Cry
Come to me and cry
I know, I know, I know it's not easy
Your heart is aching
But so is mine,
How can I tell you
Why
For so long, so long, so long,
I've been thinking
Now I know
I can't live a lie

They say true love lasts forever
If we want it
There will be waiting

A second chance
Baby but now we need time
Time to learn
Time to understand
Where we went wrong
'Cause I feel so strong
We are cruising for bruising
My Baby

Go
I must let you go
Don't stop, don't stop
'cause it's better now
When I still love you
Don't say goodbye

So bye for now, don't let it die
'cause we can try some other time


3.Third Time Lucky

First one--it's a shock
A second helping--not good enough
Third time lucky--and you've arrived!
If you have any doubts then try once more

Maybe I was too impressed
He flattered--i was blushing
He found my _joie de vivre_ so cute and rather touching
Himself so upwardly mobile, so cerebral, clever
Could I ever live up to his dreams
Or would I like to play a part in his scheme?
I don't think so

I have my plans and brave ambition
Knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd I'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
So next time I'll get closer

First one--it's a shock
A second helping--not good enough
Third time lucky--and you've arrived!
If you have any doubts then try one more time

Later I met a boy whose inner life was his true passion
We did connect in an exploratory fashion
He claimed what tie us to this mortal coil we should sever
Could I ever live up to his dreams
Or would I like to play a part in his scheme?
Oh I fear not

I have my plans and brave ambition
Knowing no bounds, no inhibitions
'nd I'm aware there's a lesson in every fall
So next time I might get it right


4.Drunk On Love

I was dreaming when I jumped the lights
Busy scaling dizzy heights
Hummed a somewhat strangely familiar tune
My eyes as wide as open books
And from my ears upon two hooks
A big smile was hanging there like a crescent moon

It sometimes comes as quite a shock
When the gods of love decide to knock
You're in a state of disarray
Just when you least expect it--you'll never know a better day

Day dreaming fever taking over
No misdemeanour--stone cold sober

The officer who stopped me said: 'lucky you didn't wind up
dead!'
And he guessed that I was over and above
I hoped he'd only caution me, and I made a plea for clemency
On the grounds that I was only drunk on love

Day dreaming fever taking over
No misdemeanour--stone cold sober

It sometimes comes as quite a shock
When the gods of love decide to knock
You're in a state of disarray
Just when you least expect it--you'll never know a better day


5.FROM NOW ON

Once upon a time it was for real
Nothing mattered---then we were together
And I couldn't ask for more
My dream came true
You were nearest to my heart

I can't make you love me anymore
Nothing matters now when you are gone
Tried so many times before
Only now I understand
We never felt the same

But I don't mind
I don't mind
A better combination won't be hard to find
Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

I know this empty room too well
I've got to plan my new life's resolutions
First of all I show you how I can survive
I never knew that I could laugh like this

So I don't mind
I don't mind
A better combination won't be hard to find
Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

I don't mind (x16)

Got to learn to walk again
It's so new---being free
Start the life of different kind
No more us
From now on it's---me

Once upon a time it was for real
Nothing mattered then we were together
You were nearest to my heart
Only now I understand
We never felt the same
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind,I don't mind,I don't mind


6.Baby You're Mine

Written:Basia Trzetrzelewska/Danny White

Sitting there and feeling lonely
Had my blue eyes for you only
Suddenly you turned around and smiled at me

It wasn't my imagination
Had no doubts no hesitation
When it comes to love I know where I wanna be

Is it real am I dreaming
I've been waiting light years for someone like you
Can't believe you are here with me
I've got you and I can't hide it anymore
I want the world to know that

Baby you're mine
You are blowing my mind
We are two of a kind
Baby you're really mine

Now I see what I've been missing
It's the happiest girl you're kissing
Baby only you can make me feel like this


7.Yearning

'tender feelings heal with flowers
When your woes and sorrows leave you
Overwhelmed
For the state of endless sadness or
Uncompleted mourning--
Take star of bethlehem,
There's willow if bitter, when helpless--
Wild rose,
Some sunshine wattle revives all lost hopes'
But for a simple case of longing--
What are we to do when homeless in our
Hearts and souls

Some of us take daring chances following our
Lovers--
The passion we can trust
Others just cannot sit still--
They're driven by the power of mighty
Wanderlust
Wherever we go, god, we're trying so hard
To make every place feel like home left behind
But despite of all endeavours--nothing
Changed,
As ever--we're homeless in our hearts

But I'm yearning no more
'cause I found my home in you
And now it's where I belong
I gave up the world to be with you

Come to me, I'll soothe your yearning

Is this what you've always dreamed of
The aim of our desire is hard to recognize
It often stares you in the face and yet, against
All reason,
Takes the longest time to find
You circle the globe, go native, go far
But it's not a country or a town, not a house
What's the use of distant travel if only to
Discover--you're homeless in your heart

But I'm yearning no more
'cause I found my home in you
And now it's where I belong
I gave up the world to be with you

So come to me, let me soothe your yearning


8.Take Him Back Rachel

Written:Basia Trzetrzelewska/Danny White

Take him back Rachel
It's time to stop lying
When he looks at me he's dreaming of your eyes
Don't be hard Rachel
There is no denying
He wa never truly happy in my arms

Take him back, oh take him back Rachel

Ignore what people say and listen to your heart
Someone up there knows it is only your silly pride
Maybe that's the best thing that ever happened to you
Sail against the wind
Against the tide
Don't say it's not right
Take him back

Take him back Rachel
He is pining for you
Just a mention of your name
His heart flutters
Don't waste time Rachel
Sure you know too
That being with him is the only thing that matters


9.NEW DAY FOR YOU

Hello again ---it's me

Your shoulder's where I sit
The half,nobody sees,of a silent partnership
I am here---your help at hand

I'm never far away
A clear view from where I stand
I'll be there if you need me

I am your helping hand
My words---you've heard them all before
It's only for the sake of love

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done
Have more faith in love
The best is yet to come

So what is this I here

Take time to think it out
Don't make a new mistake
I am here---your help at hand

It's gonna be a new day for you
A new day for you,new day for you,new day for you
The stars have played their part
The past is gone and done

10.PROMISES

Promises
We forgot all our promises
And only keep some of the easiest
I confess I do

Make believe
However small the possibility
But sometimes tripped up by reality
Formality it seems

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

History

We could live our life from history

But there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love
Oh,there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

You'll see---my love

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain


11.TIME AND TIDE

It's hard for me to stop my heart
love never knows
when the time is right
I don't want to hurt
anybody but
can't help loving you
I never felt like this before
I know this is passion
worth waiting for
let love take take its course
that's the only thing
for us to do

We got time, oh baby,
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will
wait for you
our love will always stay as good as new

Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last

How can I stop my heart?
Love never knows
when the time is right
don't want to hurt
anybody
don't want to make them cry
don't want to make them cry

We've got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you
Our love will always stay as good as...
new

It's a matter of time
only a matter of...
Time and tide
nothing and no one
can stop us now
for better for worse
this time I'm sure
it's gonna last
gonna last forever

We got time, oh baby
there's no rush
gonna be a better
day for us
hang on
and I will wait for you


12.HALF A MINUTE

Lyrics:Reilly/White/Poncioni
Music:Reilly/White/Poncioni

What is there to say
When all the love has slipped away
In half a minute.
There is always something we can blame,
But in the end, it's just the same -
Suddenly, you find yourself alone.

Half a minute
Half a minute

What is there to say
When every dream just fades away
In half a minute.
Every explanation we can find
Will never change it, we are through -
Suddenly, you find yourself alone.

Half a minute
Half a minute


13.Reward

Written:Basia Trzetrzelewska/Danny White

Father I didn't really know you
Mother you are so very far away from me
Hopeless birthdays made me cry
My heart kept saying: It's all right
Obviously that's how it was meant toe

Now I know
There was a reason for it all
And I am not lonely anymore
I got my reward
That's why I am loved

I have you
A lover and a friend
You are everything I need
You are the sun the air I breathe
Without you, life wouldn't be the same
Please never go away
And if you go then don't forget to take me with you

The love that I gave was used against me
Honesty seemed a foreign and old-fashioned word
Maybe I just don't understand
'cause I'm a stranger in this land
Even friends failed to make me feel at home

Now I know
There was a reason for it all...

Jestes moja nagroda
You are my reward


14.Until You Come Back To Me

Lyrics:Wonder/Paul/Brodnax
Music:Wonder/Paul/Brodnax

Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane

I want to tell you Baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you.
Listen you

'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by meself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby

'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying

Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do


15.Dzien Sie Budzi

Dzien sie budzi
W kolorze slonca
W otwartych oczach ludzi
W ulicach az do konca
W pobladlych nagle qwiazdach
Hej! W rosnacym qwarze miasta.Hej!

Dzien juz wstaje,zegary,dzwonia
Zbudzonym ludzkim myslom

Zbudzonym ludzkim dloniom
W rosnacym tlumie ludzi,hej!
Dzien wstaje,dzien sie budzi,hej!

W'niebie i w syren krzyku
W golebiach na chodniku
W goracym znow chlebie
W marzeniach,

Ktore w nocy przynosza nam chlopcy
Dziewczny niosa nam tu
Dzien sie budzi ze snu

Dzien sie budzi
W kolorze slonca
W otwartych oczach ludzi
W ulicach az do konca
Jak swoj pomiedzy swymi,hej!
Dzien budzi sie na ziemi,hej!

Dzien juz wstaje,otwiera domy
Zabiera sie do pracy jak stary nasz znajomy
Czy zdazy tak jak wczoraj,hej!
Ze wsyzstkim do wieczora,hej!


16.Brave New Hope

Written:Basia Trzetrzelewska/Danny White

Looking out of the window
Can't believe what I see
Where was all this beauty when I loved you
From now on this is my world
Yes we lost but I don't hurt any more
I knew there must be more to life than this

Now is the time for me
I'm grateful -- you set me free
Baby one good turn deserves another
Now is the time for you
Pray our dreams come true
Could not see the world around me
You were my world
But now I keep inside my heart a Brave New Hope

There is no need to worry
I'll find my place in the sun
Better days arehere to stay forever
Times are changing so am I
Not alone 'cause there's a heart needing love
I know that God will give me one more chance

Everything seems new
Have to get to know my friends again
I never realized that it could be like this
Time is a love-continuum
And I've got so much love to give
I'm not afraid to start this journey again tomorrow
