1.Once In A Lifetime(From Dive)

Lyrics:Peterson/Brightma
Music:Peterson/Schwarz/Meissner

Let me dive in
To pools of sin
Wet black leather on my skin
Show me the floor
Lay down the law
I need to taste you more


Then I feel your sea
Rainning down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know You're my once in a lifetime

When you take me
And make me cry
Then I feel you satisfy
Show me the cage
It's all the rage
And lock it up

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Giving you my soul
Letting you control
Took away a part of my lifetime
Memories of you
Left me black and blue
Now I know You're once in a lifetime


Found a part of me
That's a my stery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passing never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime


2.The River Cried

Lyrics:Tom Kelly
Music:Billy Steinberg

Took a walk today
Through these grey and streets
Thinking of you, missing you
and hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell me legs where to go
I just walked down to the dock
Sat on the dege, fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside

And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried aaahhh
The river cried for my lonely soul, the riever cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I confide
And hearing this the river cried

I say myself today
Through these grey and dirty streets
Did you have to leave this town
Or did you just have to leave me
All these questions in my mind
I didn't see the sings
The river keeps flowin'
I can't keep goin'
Waiting for you to return, my pride

And the riever cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried aaahhh
The river cried for my lonely soul, the riever cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I confide
And hearing this the river cried


3.Captain Nemo(From Dive)

Lyrics:Lancelot
Music:Holmberg

Under the surface so crystal clear...
Everyone was really tense
Waiting down there
He had his own world just like I had mine
We'll go separate ways 'till the next time
There are no words to say as
My friend swims away


Captain Nemo said, 'Okay'
(five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away...
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left'em all alone, Nemo's going home

And as I watched him, police boats approached
An alien force haunting us like ghosts
'Which I could stay here and play for a while
But I must be on my way...'
The warmest of smiles
Then he dived into the waves among the other whales


4.Take My Life

There's a river that's swollen with rain
You wouldn't guess that I've known so much pain,
I have a heart, swollen with pride,
You wouldn't guess what I hold inside

Oh, it feels so good to have you around
I feel the walls come tumbling down
I'm ready to change, ready to feel
To be revealed

Take my life, in your hands
Take my love, be my man
I'm tired of all the lonely nights
I need someone to hold me in the candlelight
Take my life, I wanna live
I have so much more I want to give
I need a love that cuts like a knife
Take My Life

There's a river that's runnin' wild
Could I take you back when I was a child
I want to see just who I am
To be revealed

Take My hand, and lead me
With your love you can free me
Oh, take the chains, away from my heart
Take My Life


5.Good Morning, Starshine!

Good morning starshine, the earth says hello
You twinkle above us
We twinkle below

Good morning starshine, you lead us along
My love and me as we sing
Our early morning singing song

Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning starshine

Good morning starshine,
There's love in yoru skies
Reflecting the sunlight
In my lover's eyes

Good morning starshine
so happy to be
My love and me as we sing
Our early morning song

Can you hear me?
Singing a song, humming a song, singing a song
Loving a song, laughing a song, singing the song
Sing the song, song the sing
Song song song sing sing sing sing song


6.Bowling Green

Way down in Borlin' Green
Prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To love down in Bowling Green

Bowling Green folks treat you kind
They let you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
In Bowling Green you walk your owl line

Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body and I know it touches the soul
Blue Grass is find. Kentucky owns my mind

The fields down in Bowling Green
Have the softest grass I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
To lie down in Bowling Green

Bowling Green girls treat you right
They wear dresses cut country right
A man in Kentucky sure is lucky
If he's seen the Bowling Green light


7.Meadowlark(From The Songs That Got Away)

Lyrics:Stephen Schwartz
Music:Stephen Schwartz

When I was a girl, I had a favourite story
Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind
Her voice could match the angels' in its glory,
But she was blind,
The lark was blind.

An old king came and took her to his palace,
Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid,
And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he
prayed

'Sing for me, my meadowlark
Sing for me of the silver morning.
Set me free, my meadowlark
And I'll buy you a priceless jewel,
And cloth of brocade and crewel,
And I'll love you for life if you will Sing for me.'

Than one day as the lark sang by the water
The god of the sun heard her in his flight
And her singing moved him so, he came and brought her
The gift of sight,
He gave her sight.
And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendour
Of this beautiful young god, so proud and strong
And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender,
'Come along,

Fly with me, my meadowlark,
Fly with me on the silver morning.
Past the sea where the dolphins bark,
We will dance on the coral beaches,
Make a feast of the plums and peaches,
Just as far as your vision reaches,
Fly with me.'

But the meadowlark said no,
For the old king loved her so,
She couldn't bear to wound his pride.
So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day,
He found his meadowlark had died.
Every time I heard that part I cried.

And now I stand here, starry-eyed and stormy.
Oh, just when I thought my heart was finally numb,
A beautiful young man appears before me
Singing 'Come
Oh, won't you come?'
And what can I do if finally for the first time
The one I'm burning for returns the glow?
If love has come at last it's picked the worst time
Still I know
I've got to go.

Fly away, meadowlark.
Fly away in the silver morning.
If I stay, I'll grow to curse the dark,
So it's off where the days won't bind me.
I know I leave wounds behind me,
But I won't let tomorrow find me
Back this way.

Before my past once again can blind me,
Fly away.

And we won't wait to say goodbye,
My beautiful young man and I.


8.Dreamers(From The Songs That Got Away)

Lyrics:Christopher Adler
Music:Marvin Hamlisch

Dreamers have mountains they will climb
There are dreamers who don't believe in time
Only dreamers have worlds where they can fly far away.

Certain dreamers have kingdoms they will build,
Filled with treasures and dragons to be killed
Only dreamers have wings with which to fly far away.

Some people dream of being rich,
While others dream of being tall
And there are people who don't dream at all.

Dreamers have shooting stars they chase,
There are others with nightmares they must face.
Sometimes dreamers are forced to leave their dreams far away.

And there are people who don't dream at all.

Sometimes you need to take the time
To find treasures and mountains we can climb.
And maybe we dream to change the way that we feel,
'Cause to dreamers the real world can be unreal.


9.Think of Me(From The Phantom Of The Opera)

Lyrics:Charles Hart
Music:Andrew Lloyd Webber

Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.

When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me ...

We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me ...

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been ...

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.

Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.

Recall those days,
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you ...


10.Guardami(From Surrender-Italian Version)

Lyrics:Don Black/Christopher H/(Italian)Marco Sabiu
Music:Andrew Lloyd Webber

Guardami
No andare via
Guardami
Non vorrai di piu

Non lasciar che cosi sia
Con un si vedrai
Quello che vorrai

Guardami
Sono solo io
Quella che
Ti portera via

La mia anima e con te
Non saprai di piu

Mai piu vedrai
La scena che faro
E non fingero
Di saper di piu

Tu sai che io
E li che finiro
Mentre guardo te
Di diro cosa e

Guardami
Gia non parlo piu
Sento ormai
Che t'arrenderai

Piano piano tra di noi
E la musica che ti fa sognar

Guardami
Non ne posso piu
Questa si e la vita mia

E nell'ombra
Troverai
Tutto quel che vuoi

Una dolce melodia
Che qualcuno a vra
Cantato giu

Guardami
Una fiamma ormai
Come me non ci saranno mai
Sono ancora qui tra voi

Sento che adesso
Io rimarro qui
Solo adesso
Sento che con te
Sono io
Guarda


11.I am Going to Like It Here(From The Songs That Got Away)

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein
Music:Richard Rogers

I am going to like it here.
There is something about the place,
An encouraging atmosphere,
Like the smile on a friendly face.

There is something about the place,
So caressing and warm it is,
Like the smile on a friendly face,
Like a port in the storm it is.
So caressing and warm it is,
All the people are so sincere,
Like a port in the storm it is,
I am going to like it here.

All the people are so sincere,
There's especially one I like.
I am going to like it here,
It's the father's first son I like.
There's especially one I like,
There is something about his face.
It's the father's first son I like,
He's the reason I love the place.

There is something about his face,
I would follow him anywhere.
If he goes to another place ...
I am going to like it there.

There is something about his face,
I would follow him anywhere.
If he goes to another place ...
I am going to like it there.


12.Piano(From Surrender)

Lyrics:Trevor Nunn/T.A.Elliot
Music:Andrew Lloyd Webber

Piano questi passi d'amore
Sulla strada del cuore
Che mi porta da te
Soffia il vento del tempo
Questa notte che va
Sempre qui ci trovera

Piano senza fare rumore
Gira il mondo le ore
Quanta fretta che ha
Un ricordo domani
Questa notte sara
Sempre qui poi tornera

Nasce il sole
Che cosi
Ci trovera abbracciati
La sua mano
Sulla porta piano
Spalanca il cielo al mattino

Giorno mentre arrival l'inverno
Un fedele ritorno
La sua neve cadra
E la notte piu chiara
Questa sera sara
Quando il puio scendera

Nasce il sole
Che cosi
Ci trovera abbracciati
La sua mano
Sulla porta piano
Spalanca il cielo al mattino

Forte e lo voglio gridare
Questo amore piu forte
Questa notte sara
Quante volte
Nel letto si e svegliato con me
Questo amore e per te


13.Everything's Alright(From Premiere Collection Encore)

Lyrics:Time Rice
Music:Andrew Lloyd Webber


Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
(oh) Don't you know
Everything's alright
Yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try
We'll get by
So forget all about us tonight


Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes


Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
(oh) Then you'll feel
Everything's all right
Yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight


Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes


Woman your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving
Thay matter more
Than your feet and hair


Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
(oh) Don't you know
Everything's all right
Yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try
We'll get by
So forget all about us tonight


Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes


Surely you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always
Pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got!
Think
While you still have me
Move
While you still see me
You'll be lost
You'll be so, so sorry
When I'm gone


Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
(oh) then you'll feel
Everything's alright
Yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight


Close your eyes
Alose your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight


Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes

(The last verses are repeated several times)


14.The Second Element II(From Dive)

Lyrics:Peterson/Pirs
Music:Peterson/Schwarz/Meissner

Burning fire
A light in the dark
Shining day and night for me
Flowing water
The source of our life
Covering the world
Gentle air blowing
Caressing my face
Carry me into dreams of love

The endless symphony ...

Wasn't it you
Who was filling my dreams
The second element

Everywhere you are rife

Wasn't it you
Who was filling the streams
The second element

With the power of life

Creeks are winding
Just seeking their way
Harly tryin' to reach the sea
Raindrops falling
From skies to the earth
Bringing life to you and me
Lakes of silence
A magical sound
Keeping secrets in the ground

A perfect harmony ...

Wasn't it you
Who was breaking the light
The second element

And the rainbows arise

Oh, wasn't it you
Who was standing a fight
The second element

From the earth to the skies

Wasn't it you, who was filling my dreams
Wasn't it you, who was filling the streams
Wasn't it you, who was breaking the light

Wasn't it you ... ?


15.When It Rains In America(From Dive)

Lyrics:Peterson/Schwarz/Brightman
Music:Schwarz/Meissner/Peterson

Do you wanna feel freedom
Do you wanna see sun and rain

Do you wanna be near me
Do you wanna light up the way
A strange magical feeling
That maybe baby we'll find someday

I thought I heard you laughin'
I never wanted to make you cry
I only needed a reason
To see a teardrop in your eye
'Cause lovin' you keeps me from the storm

When it rains in America

There's a place we can run to
Far away from the city stare
Where's the ocean's a desert
But the wind still blows in your hair
Where we can watch the sun go down

When it rains in America (4x)

'Cause loving you keeps me from the storm

When it rains in America (9x)


16.La Mer(From Dive)

Lyrics:Peterson/Brightman
Music:Peterson

Ancient unkown animals
On a stormy sea
Like Buddha in the water
A velvet energy

As the night takes over
The spirits of the deep
Marvel at his majesty
The whale is in his sleep

Refrain:
Oh, la mer
You're shimmering through
Oh, la mer
Magnificent blue

Shimmering through the water
In search of sanctuary
Currents travel faster
In alien territory

Dancing in the distance
In a puff of spray
In a single moment
The dolphin glides away

Refrain (2x)

Oh, la mer
