From The Bakers Wife Music & Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz (5:08) 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 clother of brocade and crewel, And I'll love you for life if you will Sing for me." Then 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 storrmy. 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'll 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. From Flower
Drum Song Music: Richard Rodgers Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein (3:34) I am going to like it here. There is something about the place, It's the father's first son I like, I would follow him anywhere. From Evening Promise Music & Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim (3:05) I remember sky It was blue as ink Or at least I think I remember sky. I remember snow Soft as feathers Sharp as thumbtacks Coming down like lint And it made you squint When the wind would blow. And ice like vinyl On the streets Cold as silver White as sheets Rain like strings And changing things Like leaves. I remember leaves Green as spearmint Crisp as paper. I remember trees Bare as coat racks Spread like broken umbrellas. And parks, and bridges, Ponds, and zoos, Ruddy faces, Muddy shoes, Light and noise and Bees and boys And days. I remember days, Or at least I try. But as years go by, They're a sort of haze, And the bluest ink, Isn't really sky And at times I think I would gladly die, For a day of sky. From Easter Parade, Miss Liberty, &
Call Me Madam Music & Lyrics: Irving Berlin (3:29) Playin' on his slide trombone In a certain monotone He was known as Mr. Monotony. Any pleasant interlude That would mean a change of mood Didn't go with Mr. Monotony. Sometimes he would change the key, But the same dull melody Would emerge from Mr. Monotony. Folks for miles would run away, Only one preferred to stay. She would come around and say: They got married as they should And around the neighbourhood She was known as Mrs. Monotony. They were happy as could be And they raised a family, Six or seven little Monotonies. From another village came a snappy clarinetter. She heard him play and strange to say she
liked him better. That was the end of Mr. Monotony. Oh, she refused him when he tried, Bringing her back to his side. She just answered when he cried: Have you got any monotony today? Have you got any monotony today?" Bye, bye Mr. Monotony. Mr. Monotony, is that you? Hey Mr. Monotony! Oh, this playing is wonderful! Oh, Mr. Monotony, I'll come back to you anytime! Mr. Monotony, don't go away, Surely I didn't really mean it. Oh, Mr. Monotony, I need you back... From Jean Seberg Music: Marvin Hamlisch Lyrics: Christopher Adler (2:53) Dreamers have mountains they will climb There are dreamers who don't believe 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 they real world can be
unreal. From Bless the Bride Music: Vivian Ellis Lyrics: A. P. Herbert (3:56) I sometimes wish my heart could speak and
say What my poor lips can never tell Of all the beauty God has sent my way And some that man has made as well. I wish my heart could whisper my delight When I behold what I love best; A rose, a ship, a book, a bird in flight, Orion riding in the west. But when I look upon the best of men, Or hear his voice far up the hill, Such noisy thoughts sing in my bosom then, I'm glad my heart is silent still. (All lines are repeated once more) (with Richard Pitts) From 1600 Pennyslvania Avenue Music: Leonard Berstein Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner (3:47) Lud: I love my wife and I love her more Than the way I used to love her before She became my wife, but today she is So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy, Beside her waiting for her to wake And her eyes to open like dawn is breaking The whole world over for me today, 'Cause I can't believe that I heard her
say She would honour, love and obey 'til death
do us Pardon me while I catch my breath. When I knew my wife was the one for me We went out and sat by the willow tree, And I begged and pleaded, uh huh, Marry me, honey, and that is what she did. Chorus: Begged and pleaded, uh huh, Marry me, honey, and that is what she did. Seena: Oh, how you pleaded If you thought you needed to You sure were wrong! You took too long. But I kept on praying One day I'd be saying: I love my husband, I love him more Than the way I used to love him before He became my husband but now he is, So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy Beside him waiting for him to wake And his loving arms to reach up and take me For one more trip to the Milky Way, Like he did before, when I heard him say He would honour, love, and obey 'til death
do us Pardon me if I catch my breath. Oh, I never thought he'd propose to me 'Til he took me out by the willow tree And he begged and pleaded, uh huh, Marry me, honey, and that is what he did. Chorus: Begged and pleaded, uh huh, Marry me, honey, and that is what she did. Seena: I love my husband, I love him more Than the way I used to love him before He became my husband but now he is, So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy Beside him waiting for him to wake And his loving arms to reach up and take me For one more trip to the Milky Way, Like he did before, when I heard him say He would honour, love, and obey 'til death
do us Pardon me if I catch my breath. Oh, I never thought he'd propose to me 'Til he took me out by the willow tree And he begged and pleaded, uh huh, Marry me, honey, and that is what we did. Chorus: Begged and pleaded, uh huh, Marry me, honey, and that is what we did. Three-Corner Tune From Guys and Dolls Music & Lyrics: Frank Loesser (2:11) It has a tender sound This little tune I found I don't know why It's following me around It has a...etc. I heard it all begin Above the broadway din And it was so appealing I joined right in I heard it...etc. And now I walk along Among the Broadway throng Inviting everybody To sing my song And now I...etc. If I Ever Fall In Love Again From The Crooked Mile Music: Peter Greenwell Lyrics: Peter Wildeblood (3:57) If I ever fall in love again, It'll be with someone just like you. I don't say that I'm in love again, But on the day you came my way, I knew. If I ever fall in love again, This is just the way it ought to be. But if it's really love again, I'll leave to fate, I'd rather wait and see. How can I know When my head is saying no And my heart's telling me that it's real? Can it be wrong If I burst into song At the wonder of feeling the way That I suddenly feel? If I ever fall in love again, I shall know exactly what to do. And when I fall in love again, I know it must be someone just like you. The way that I suddenly feel! If I ever fall in love again, I shall know exactly what to do. And when I fall in love again, I know it must be someone just like you. What Makes Me Love Him? From The Apple Tree Muisc: Jerrold Bock Lyrics: Sheldon Harnick (2:41) What makes me love him? It's not his singing, I've heard his singing, It sours the milk. And yet, it's gotten to the point Where I prefer that kind of milk. What makes me love him? It's not his learning. He's learned so slowly, His whole life long. And though he really knows A multitude of things, They're mostly wrong. He's not romantic, And yet I love him. No one occasion He's used me ill. And though he's handsome I know inside me Were a plain man I'd love him still. What makes me love him? It's quite beyond me, It must be something I can't define. Unless it's merely That he's masculine, And that he's mine. Chi Il Bel Sogno Di Doretta From La Rondine Music: Giacomo Puccini Lyrics: Giuseppe Adami (2:47) Chi il bel sogno di Doretta Pot indoviner? Il suo mister come mai Come mai fini Ahim! un giorno uno studente In bocca la baci E fu quel bacio Rivelazione: Fu la passione! Folle amore! Folle ebbrezza! Chi la sottil carezza D'un bacio cosi ardente Mai ridir potr? Ah! mio sogno! Ah! mia vita! Che importa la riccheza Se alfine rifiorita La felicit! O sogno d'or Poter amar cosi! Away From You From Rex Music: Richard Rodgers Lyrics: Sheldon Harnick (3:28) Away from you There is no music, There is no sunlight, The world is grey. Away from you The clocks are frozen, And time's a traveler Who's lost his way. The people I meet Might as well be statues; The words we exchange, Might as well be Greek. The room that I'm in May be bright and cheerful, But to me It's deem and bleak. I'm half alive, Until the moment The door swings open And you walk through. Now my world starts to glow Like a stained-glass window And what was old and cold Is warm and new. And so you see Why I can never be Away from you. The people I meet Might as well be statues; The words we exchange, Might as well be Greek. The room that I'm in May be bright and cheerful, But to me It's deem and bleak. I'm half alive, Until the moment Until the door swings open And you walk through. Now my soul is afloat On a wave of music That I could feel such joy I never knew. And so you see Why I can never be Away from you. If Love Were All From Bittersweet Music & Lyrics: Noel Coward (4:25) Fate may often treat me meanly But I keenly pursue A little mirage in the blue, Determination helps me through. Though I never really grumble, Life's a jumble, indeed. And in my efforts to succeed, I've had to formulate a creed. I believe in doing what I can In crying when I must In laughing when I choose Hey ho, if love were all I should be lonely. I believe the more you love a man, The more you give your trust, The more you're bound to lose. Although when shadows fall I think if only Somebody splendid really needed me Someone affectionate and dear Cares would be ended if I knew that he Wanted to have me near. But I believe that since my life began The most I've had is just a talent to amuse. Hey ho, if love were all. Hey ho, if love were all. Although when shadows fall I think if only Somebody splendid really needed me Someone affectionate and dear Cares would be ended if I knew that he Wanted to have me near. But I believe that since my life began The most I've had is just a talent to amuse. Hey ho, if love were all. Hey ho, if love were all. Hey ho, if love were all. Half A Moment From Jeeves Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics: Alan Ayckbourn (3:56) Half a moment We are together I shall want no one else And nothing new. Half a moment I shall teasure Keep it locked away For some future rainy day. Should you leave me With just this moment In my mind I shall capture it anew, Like some pictue Taken in my childhood Half a moment Spent with you. Half a moment I shall treasure, Keep it locked away For some future rainy day. Should you leave me With this moment In my mind I shall captue it anew, Like some picture Taken in my childhood Half a moment Spent with you. Countless vivid memories Spin before my view, Like some toy kaleidoscope Images of you. Time looks kindly On fleeting lovers They can turn the briefest hour Into a day Turn a moment Into a lifetime Making it to last Blending future with the past. We're togehter, What else can matter? Even though Half a moment is too few I shall save it 'Til I have another Making one whole moment Filled with you. Total: 45:97 |
