Time To Say Goodbye (Con te partirò)
 featuring Andrea Bocelli

 

Sarah:

Quando sono sola
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
si lo so che non c'è luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole,
se non ci sei tu con me, con me.
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai accesso,
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada.

 

Time to say goodbye.

Con te partirò.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso sì li vivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
it's time to say goodbye.     

con te io li vivrò.

 

Andrea:

Quando sei lontana
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
e io si lo so
che sei con me, con me,
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,
mio sole tu sei qui con me,
con me, con me, con me.

 

Time to say goodbye.     

Con te partirò.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso sì li vivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,

 

Both:

con te io li rivivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
con te io li rivivrò.
Con te partirò

 

Io con te.
 

THE FLY

I know a colourful room
Where we can fly
And take a spin to the moon
On Aunt Angelica's pie
I am a fly, pie in the sky

Across a harvest of stars
And constellations
We'll drink
A star juice on Mars

Miss our connection and cry
Coz I don't know why

I am a fly

The major is dead
It went to his head
We gonna fly
 

Why
 
Why, why don't we try
Like the wind we'll learn how to fly again
To reach heaven we'll drown our sorrows
Feel the fury coming down on you baby

 

Lying on a heart of a baby
Sitting in a vision of blue

 

Tell me why
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live

 

Live and let live
Break the chains and try to forgive me now
For the fortune on the wings of an eagle
And our hearts lie in the hands of an angel

 

Dreaming on the wings of an eagle in yellow
Sitting on a mountain top

 

Tell me why
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live

 

Maybe you can try
Maybe I can try
Maybe they can try
Maybe we should try

 

Tell me why
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies, tell me why
The mystery of love is to live

MURDER IN MAIRYLAND PARK

Things that happen just once
If she'd looked she would have seen it
He was standing all night
'Cross the street very still
And they go out so easily
The street lamps
The cars come and go

Crazy, so crazy

 

But I see you too clearly
I don't trust myself anymore
If it's all true just say it
I may already know
That sound when it's over
The sidewalks will carry you home
And the evening so easily

 

Agnus, agnus
Dei
Agnus, agnus
Qui tollis peccata [mundi]

 

Crazy, so crazy

 

HOW CAN HEAVEN LOVE YOU
featuring Chris Thompson

 

Note:
italic lines: Chris Thompson
roman lines: Sarah Brightman

 

Fell from the grace of heaven’s prow
Listening as the abyss calls our name
Descending stars from golden clouds
Falling to the rage of angels
Bringer of light from on high
Bound to the earth and unable to fly…

 

I don’t know …     (3x)
How can heaven love me

You don’t know   /   I don’t know …     (3x)
How can heaven love you   /   How can heaven love me

 

We loved in a time before the fall
Welcome to the arms of solitude
Beneath us the heat that hearts exude
Is this really heaven?
We’d fight with the gods for our dreams
Where paradise falls eternity screams

 

I don’t know …     (3x)
How can heaven love me

You don’t know   /   I don’t know …     (3x)
How can heaven love you   /   How can heaven love me

 

 Die Welt ein Tor
Zu tausend Wüsten stumm und kalt

Wer das verlor, was du verlorst
Macht nirgends halt

 

Crystallized as starlight
Lost in paradise

 

I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love me

You don't know   /   I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love you   /   How can heaven love me

 

(The last lines are repeated several times)
 

A QUESTION OF HONOUR 

 

 Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Come va l'eco della pia campana,
Là, fra la neve bianca;
Là, fra le nubi d'or;
Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
Il rimpianto, il rimpianto, e il dolor!

 

Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Là, dov'è la speranza, la speranza
Il rimpianto
Sola e lontana!

 

Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
It's a question of honour
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide
It's a question of honour
Two men collide
When two men collide, when two men collide

 

If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour

 

I can't tell what's wrong or right
If black is white or day is night
But I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour

 

If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour
If you win or you lose,
It's a question of honour
And the way that you choose,
It's a question of honour

 

I can't tell what's wrong or right
If black is white or day is night
I know when two men collide
It's a question of honour

 

Ebbene? ... N'andrò lontana,
Come l'eco della pia campana,
Là, fra la neve bianca;
Là, fra le nubi d'or;
N'andrò, n'andrò sola e lontana!
E fra le nubi d'or!

Ghost in the Machinery

In the heat of the moment
In the dark of the night
You never see his face
For he's the ghost inside

 

In the heat of the moment
He will laugh at you
How can you make peace
When he's at war with you

 

In the heat of the moment
You're a perfect guy
Born to make mistakes
He knows the reason why

 

He's a shock to the system
He's a wicked clown
No matter what you do
He turns it upside down

 

Hu hu hu hu hu hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu hu hu hu hu hu
Ghost in the machinery
Hu hu hu hu hu hu

 

In the light of a new love
In the dark of night
You can fall asleep
And dream he's out of sight

 

In the eyes of the children
You can read his name
They'll make the same mistakes
And that's the only way
The only way

 

Hu hu hu hu hu hu
Ghost in the machinery

 

(The last two lines are repeated several times)

YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY

We saw the holy men
Come in from Sanchi
We touched their souls
And heard the Martyrs crying
Among the fields of red
We took the strange brew
The windless sky diwali
Moon were calling to me
The deeper I go
The higher I fly with you

 

You take my breath away
                       Ooho you ...

Something in the Air
-- featuring Tom Jones

 

Note:
italic lines: Tom Jones
roman lines: Sarah Brightman

 

There is something in the air
Oh, there is something in the air
There is something in the air
Oh yeah

 

Deep within your mind you have been blind
Look around and find
There's something in the air

Sometimes I can read it in your eyes
Keep the dream alive
There's something in the air

 

There is something in the air
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah

 

Don't know why the truth becomes a lie
Makes me wanna cry
There's something in the air

So I'm going to dry the tears of pain
Wash away the rain
There's something in the air

And I can feel it ... Oh yeah
Oh I can feel it ... Everywhere

 

 Chorus:
There is something in the air
Our tears will dry tomorrow
No more pain or sorrow
There's something in the air
All the darkness turns to sunlight
The dawning hits the long night
There's something in the air
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah

 

We can heal the wounds of time together
It'll be forever
There's something in the air
I can feel the love that I desire
Come on take me higher
There's something in the air

Oh I can feel it ... Oh yeah
I can feel it ... Everywhere

 

[Chorus]

Something in the air
There is something in the air
There is something in the air
Is there something?
Something in the air
There is something in the air
There is something in the air
Is there something?

 

[Chorus]

There is something in the air ...      

 
 (repeated several times)

Heaven is Here

 Good times, bad times
There's nothing I'll forget
The sun shines on our lifelines
There's nothing I'll regret

 

Hold me and feel me
And wrap your arms around
Coz when you love me I'm quite clear
That heaven is here

 

Hear my confession
We're meant to be as one
Leave me to the mystery
Of happiness to come

 

Touch me, I'll give you
My blessings and desire
Coz when you feel eternal fire
Then heaven is here

 

Bad times and street crimes
No matter where you go
Some sects preach and some fools teach
They're giving us some show

 

So send me an angel
And wrap your arms around
Coz when it all comes down you'll know
That heaven is here

 

That heaven is here, oh-oh ...      

 

(repeated several times)

 

I LOVED YOU

 

It was a plastic age with plastic tears
A total addiction to the wonder years
I'm a believer was where it's at
He's singing oh Lola lady lay lady lay
She's fixing a hole down on Blue Jay Way
American Pie on your Tupperware

 

He paints an Andy-Pandy Campbell's tins
Boys in the jungle on your TV screen
In tricky dicky's love machine
We'll take an easy ride and have some fun
On Dylan's highway 61
In California dreaming sun

 

That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you

 

They were the living years of stainless steel
Praying for a time in a fortune wheel
Smooth operator was where it's at
So welcome all of you to the pleasure dome
Of taking the look from the homeless zone
With digital aids in your telephone

 

Another day in paradise is nice
From Ronnie's recession's nice advice

 

We suffer from the longest
and one of the most sustained
inflations in our national history.

 

So don't you let the sun go down on me
Coz I wanna break free from your MTV
To virtual reality

 

That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I loved you, I loved you

 

That was when I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
I loved you, I loved you, ...       (repeated several times)

 

[Choir on the background:]
From the shadow of the past
I never dreamed that it would last
You gave me joy you gave me tears
And took away the wonder years

Fly 

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"

 

Across a harvest of stars
And constellations
We'll drink a star juice on Mars
Miss our connection and cry
Coz I don't know why I am a fly
It's all pie in the sky
