Probably On A Thursday

 

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Tim Rice

 

Can you see all of me?
I am hiding nothing
Must you stay so far away?
Won't you whisper something?
You're going to leave me
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to tell me

 

You'll be unfaithful
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday

 

Every day, every night
Leaves the same impression
All I need and all I want
Is a true confession
Each silent moment
Tells me the story
Tells me the story

 

You'll be unfaithful
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday

 

I've spent all my precious time
Hoping you will love me
You are trying hard to find
Ways to get rid of me
You'll never listen
You want to hurt me
You want to hurt me

 

You'll be unfaithful
Possibly on Wednesday
Probably on Thursday

 

You're going to leave me
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to tell me
You're going to leave me
Possibly on Wednesday
Probably on Thursday

 

Possibly on Wednesday
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday

 

 

The Perfect Year

 

From Sunset Boulevard

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Don Black & Christopher Hampton

 

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

No need to hear the music play
Our eyes say all there is to say
The clock has struck
The die is cast, let's take a chance
Forget the past

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

It's New Year's Eve, and hopes are high
Dance one year in, kiss one good-bye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart

We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything we want is here
And face to face, we will embrace
The perfect year

 

Only You

 

(With Cliff Richard)

 

From Starlight Express

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Richard Stilgoe

 

Cliff

Only you
Have the power to move me
And together we'll make
The whole world move in sympathy
But I could not see before

 

Sarah

Only you
Have the power to move me

Both

Take me, hold me, mould me
Change me and improve me

 

Cliff

It's not funny anymore.
There was I

 

Sarah

There was I

 

Cliff

Wondering why

 

Sarah

I was wondering why

 

Cliff

Every day

 

Both

Disappeared into the distance

 

Sarah

Now with you
The light is shining through

 

Both

You gave me life not just existence

 

Cliff

Only you

 

Sarah

You are the starlight

 

Cliff

Have the power to move me

 

Both

And together we'll make
The whole world move in sympathy

 

Cliff

Only you,
Have the power to move me

 

Sarah 
There was I

 

Cliff

There was I

 

Sarah

Wondering why

 

Cliff

Wondering why

 

Both

Every day disappeared into the distance
Now with you
The light is shining through
You gave me life not just existence

 

Sarah

Only you

 

Cliff

Only you

 

Both

Have the power to move me
And together we'll make
The whole world move in sympathy

 

Sarah

But I could not see before

 

Cliff

I couldn't see it before

 

Sarah

That only you

 

Both

Have the power to move me
Take me, hold me, mould me
Change me and improve me

 

Sarah

Only you

 

Cliff

Only you,

 

Sarah

Have the power

 

Both

To move me

 

 

Love Changes Everything

 

From Aspects of Love

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Don Black & Charles Hart

 

Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everyone: live or perish, in its flame.
Love will never, never let you be the same.
Love will never, never let you be the same.

 

Seeing Is Believing

(with Michael Ball)

From Aspects of Love

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Don Black & Charles Hart

 

Michael

 Seeing is believing,
And in my arms I see her:
She's here,
Really here,
Really mine now --
She seems at home here...

 

Seeing is believing
I dreamed that it would be her:
At last
Life is full,
Life is fine now...

 

Whatever happens,
One thing is certain:
Each time I see
A train go by,
I'll think of us,
The night, the sky
Forever..

 

Seeing is believing,
Who knows where this is going
Who cares, it's enough simply knowing
I'm going with you

 

Sarah

 Seeing is believing
I never thought I'd be here
He's young, very young,
But appealing --
I feel I know him...

 

Seeing is believing
And I like what I see here.
I like where I am, what I'm feeling...

 

What are we doing?
Can you believe it?
A starving actress and a star-struck boy --
Oh well, we might as well enjoy
The moment...

 

Seeing is believing
And everything is saying
It's real, it's no game that we're playing
We're staying in love

 

Michael

 Can you believe it?
Seeing is believing

 

Sarah

 And I like what I see here

 

Michael

 I like where I am, what I'm feeling

 

Sarah

 Whatever happens, we have this moment
Who needs tomorrow when we have today?

 

Michael

 Tonight the music might just play forever

 

Both

 Seeing is believing!
My life is just beginning!
We touched
And my head
Won't stop spinning,
From winning
Your love!

 

 

Think Of Me

 

(With Steve Barton)

 

From The Phantom of the Opera

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Charles Hart

 

Christine (Sarah)

 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...

 

Raoul (Steve)

 Can it be?
Can it be Christine?

 

Bravo!

What a change!
You're really
Not a bit
The gawkish girl

That once you were ...

 

She may
Not remember
Me, but
I remember her ...

 

Christine (Sarah)

 We never said
Our love
Was evergreen,
Or as unchanging
As the sea
But please
Promise me
That sometimes
You will think
Ah-ah-ah-ah-aaah-of me!

 

 

Any Dream Will Do

 

From Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Tim Rice

 

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain, what I thought I knew.
Far, far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping.
Any dream will do.

I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new.
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking.
Any dream will do.

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat, flew out of sight.
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone.

May I return to the beginning?
The light is dimming, and the dream is too.
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating…
Any dream will do.

Any dream will do.

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat, flew out of sight.
The colours faded into darkness
I was left alone.

May I return to the beginning?
The light is dimming, and the dream is too.
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating…
Any dream will do.

Any dream, any dream will do.....any dream will do.

 

I Don't Know How to Love Him

 

From Jesus Christ Superstar

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Tim Rice

 

I don't know how to love him
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man, he's just a man.
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways -
He's just one more

Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love - let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so.

I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away
I wouldn't want to know -
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

 

Too Much In Love To Care

(with John Barrowman)

From Sunset Boulevard

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Don Black & Christopher Hampton

 

Sarah

 When I was a kid, I played on the street
I always loved illusion
I thought make-believe was truer than life
But now it's all confusion
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?

 

John

 If you were smart, you would keep on walking
Out of my life as fast as you can
I'm not the one you should pin your hopes on
You're falling for the wrong kind of man
This is crazy! You know we should call it a day
Sound advice, great advice
Let's throw it away
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I haven't got a prayer
If I'm a fool, well
I'm too much in love to care.
I knew where I was, I'd given up hope
Made friends with disillusion
No one in my life, but I look at you
And now it's all confusion.

 

Sarah

 Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore.
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?
I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
I should hate you
There I was, the world in my hand
Can one kiss, kiss away
Everything I planned?
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I'm floating in mid-air
I know it's wrong, but
I'm too much in love to care

 

Both

 I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
This is crazy! You know we should call it a day

 

John

 Sound advice

 

Sarah

 Great advice

 

Both

 Let's throw it away...
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
We're floating in mid-air
If we are fools, well,
We're too much in love to care
If we are fools, well,
We're too much in love to care!

 

 

The Phantom of the Opera

 

(With Steve Harley)

 

From The Phantom of the Opera

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Charles Hart

 

Christine (Sarah)

 Beneath the opera house
I know he's there.
He's with me on the stage
He's everywhere.
And when my song begins
I always find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind.

 

The Phantom (Steve)

 Sing once again with me
Our strange duet.
My power over you
Grows stronger yet.
You'll give your love to me
For love is blind.
The phantom of the opera is now
Your mastermind.

 

Christine

 Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear…

 

The Phantom

 It's me they hear.

 

Christine / Phantom

 Your/My spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my/your mind

 

Choir (very, very soft)

 The phantom of the opera
Is there
The phantom of the opera

 

Christine/Phantom

 Sing once again with me
Our strange duet.

The Phantom

 My power over you
Grows stronger yet.

 

Christine / Phantom

 I'll/You'll give my/your love to you/me
For love is blind.
The phantom of the opera is now
My/Your mastermind.

 

The Phantom (spoken)

 Sing, my angel of music...

 

Christine

 He's there
The phantom of the opera.

 

Christine starts wailing

 

The Phantom (spoken)

 Sing ...
Once again with me, our strange duet.
My power over you grows stronger and stronger.
Sing ...
My angel of music/
Sing!
Sing our strange duet -
Sing!

 

Christine continues wailing and keeps on wailing after every sentence the Phantom sings.

 

The Phantom (spoken)

 The phantom of the opera
Is now your mastermind
I am here, inside your mind!
I am everywhere!
You're in my power.
Sing!
Sing, my angel of music!
Sing! Sing!

 

 

Make Up My Heart

 

From Starlight Express

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Richard Stilgoe

 

It's time I chose between the two of them
I'd better make a start.
Someone help me make up my heart.
Tell me how to make up my heart.

You'd think two lovers would be twice the fun
It's tearing me apart.
Someone help me make up my heart.
Tell me how to make up my heart.

One of them is strong; one of them is good
Both could turn out wrong.
So who gets the part?
Make up my mind, make up my heart.

I don't want one to win and one to lose.
Can't tell them yes or no
Choosing one means letting one go.
Can't face letting one of them go

You'd think two lovers would be twice the fun
It's tearing me apart.
Someone help me make up my heart.

One can make me laugh, one can make me sigh
Why tear myself in half?
So who gets the part?
Make up my mind, make up my heart.

I don't want one to win and one to lose.
Can't tell them yes or no.
Choosing one means letting one go.
Can't face letting one of them go

It's time I chose between the two of them
I'd better make a start.
Someone help me make up my heart.

One can make me laugh, one can make me sigh
Why tear myself in half?
So who gets the part?
Make up my mind, please, make up my heart.

One can make me laugh, one can make me sigh
Why tear myself in half?
So who gets the part?
Someone help me make up my heart.

 

No llores por mi Argentina

 

(Don't Cry for Me Argentina - Spanish version)

 

From Evita

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Tim Rice

Spanish Lyrics: Ignacia Artime & Jaime Azpilicueta

 

 

Será dificil de comprender

Que a pesar de estar hoy aquí

Soy del pueblo jamás lo podré olvidar

Debéis creerme,

Mis lujos son solamente un disfraz

Un juego burgués, nada más

Las reglas del ceremonial

 

Tenía que aceptar debí cambiar

Y dejar de vivir en lo gris

Siempre tras la ventana,

Sin lugar bajo el sol

Busqué ser libre,

Pero jamás dejaré de soñar

Y solo podré conseguir

La fe que querrás compartir

 

No llores por mí Argentina

Mi alma está contigo

Mi vida entera te la dedico

Mas no te alejes, te necesito

 

Jamás poderes ambicioné

Mentiras dijeron de mí

Mi lugar vuestro es, por vosotros luché

Yo sólo quiero sentiros muy cerca,

Poder intentar

Abrir mi ventana y saber

Que nunca me vais a olvidar

 

No llores por mí Argentina ...

 

No llores por mí Argentina

Mi alma está contigo

Mi vida entera te la dedico

Mas no te alejes, te necesito

 

Qué mas podré decir

Para convenceros de mi verdad

Si aún queréis dudar, mirad mis ojos ved

Cómo lloran de amor

 

No llores por mí Argentina ...

 

 

 

Everything's Alright

 

From Jesus Christ Superstar

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Tim Rice

 

Mary Magdalene (Sarah Brightman)

 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

 

Apostles' Women

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

 

Mary Magdalene

 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

 

Apostles' Women

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

 

Judas (Gary Martin)

 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
They matter more
Than your feet and hair

 

Mary Magdalene

 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

 

Apostles' Women

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

 

Jesus (Bogdan Kominowksi)

 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

 

Mary Magdalene

 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

 

Apostles' Women & Mary Magdalene

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

 

Men

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

 

(The last verses are repeated several times)

 

 

Whistle Down the Wind

 

From Whistle Down the Wind

Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber

Lyrics: Jim Steinman

 

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend

So try and stem the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend

So whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there

So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there
