Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Girl From Ipanema Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly,
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly,
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...)
Night And Day Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
Silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
Silence of my lonely room
I think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
They Can't Take That Away From Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton
There are many, many crazy things
That will keep me loving you,
And with your permission
May I list a few?
The way you wear your hat.
The way you sip your tea.
The memory of all that -
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
The way your smile just beams.
The way you sing off-key.
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of:
The way you hold your knife (do-do-do-do do-do).
The way we danced until three.
The way you've changed my life.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
No, they can't take that away from me.
That will keep me loving you,
And with your permission
May I list a few?
The way you wear your hat.
The way you sip your tea.
The memory of all that -
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
The way your smile just beams.
The way you sing off-key.
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of:
The way you hold your knife (do-do-do-do do-do).
The way we danced until three.
The way you've changed my life.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
No, they can't take that away from me.
New York, New York Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York
New York... New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one....
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York... New York New York!!!
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York..New York
New York... New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I'm A number one, top of the list
King of the hill, A number one....
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York... New York New York!!!
I'm Alive Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I've slept under the sun,
And I've tasted the rain, cold rain
I've loved more than once
And I've stared down the face of pain
But look at me
I'm still standing here today
[Chorus:]
I'm alive, yeah, I'm alive
I'd rather walk this winding road and let love take a leap of faith
Than be alone
Yeah, I'm alive
Life is stronger, and more powerful, and beautiful than ever
Yesterday I was a fool
But in our yesterdays we are all fools
Watched the news in disbelief
Prayed for love to bring relief
Giving up is always easier than standing up to fight
But baby
[Chorus]
Everybody gets scared a little
Everybody gets tired a little
Everybody feels low
Everybody feels high
When life is a journey, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride
All on borrowed time, I'm alive, look around baby
I'd rather take a leap of faith than be alone, yeah I'm alive,
Life is stronger, and more powerful, beautiful than ever.
[Chorus]
And I've tasted the rain, cold rain
I've loved more than once
And I've stared down the face of pain
But look at me
I'm still standing here today
[Chorus:]
I'm alive, yeah, I'm alive
I'd rather walk this winding road and let love take a leap of faith
Than be alone
Yeah, I'm alive
Life is stronger, and more powerful, and beautiful than ever
Yesterday I was a fool
But in our yesterdays we are all fools
Watched the news in disbelief
Prayed for love to bring relief
Giving up is always easier than standing up to fight
But baby
[Chorus]
Everybody gets scared a little
Everybody gets tired a little
Everybody feels low
Everybody feels high
When life is a journey, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride, enjoy the ride
All on borrowed time, I'm alive, look around baby
I'd rather take a leap of faith than be alone, yeah I'm alive,
Life is stronger, and more powerful, beautiful than ever.
[Chorus]
'Til The End Of Forever Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Now there's something my daughter
That I need to tell you
And there's no easy way on your heart
The truth is your mother and I have decided
We're better off living apart
But nothin's gonna change between you and me
We'll only grow stronger in time
As sure as the river will run to the sea
You can always come runnin to this love of mine

The last day of never
And through all of your life in this world
Promise me you'll always remember
My love will follow you anywhere
Til The end of forever I promise I'll always be there
We'll look back at the pieces
That we put together
And the puzzle will mean so much more
I'll be right where ya found me
Wrapped round your finger
Like I've been since the day you were born
And who'll walk beside you
When ya walk down the aisle
When true love is takin your hand
When you're lost in the eyes, of your own child
You'll remember this moment and you'll understand
Til the End of Forever
The last day of never
And through all of your life in this world
Promise me you'll always remember

Still The Love Of My Life Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I've been thinking 'bout the first time I looked at you,
I got the feeling that I found someone I always knew
And ever since that day we laughed and we cried
We learned along the way that love takes a lifetime
(So I can't believe) Can't believe I've found somebody like you
[Chorus:]
You're still the reason why the sky will never fall
This love will never die forever we can have it all
And when I need to believe I just look in your eyes
You're still the one, you're still the love of my life
Of my life, my life, my life
We've had our ups and downs
We run against the wind
I built some mighty walls and watched your heart just climb right in
Some people thought we'd crumble
But they were wrong, we survived
And making love to you still feels like the first time
(So here with me) here with me there ain't nobody but you
[Chorus]
Had a taste of the cold hard of rain,
Made it through the winds of change
And they just made us that much stronger
Even now when I watch you sleep,
Can't believe you're still here with me...
You're the answer, the answer to the rest of my life
Uhhhhhhhh, you're still the reason why
[Chorus 3x]
I got the feeling that I found someone I always knew
And ever since that day we laughed and we cried
We learned along the way that love takes a lifetime
(So I can't believe) Can't believe I've found somebody like you
[Chorus:]
You're still the reason why the sky will never fall
This love will never die forever we can have it all
And when I need to believe I just look in your eyes
You're still the one, you're still the love of my life
Of my life, my life, my life
We've had our ups and downs
We run against the wind
I built some mighty walls and watched your heart just climb right in
Some people thought we'd crumble
But they were wrong, we survived
And making love to you still feels like the first time
(So here with me) here with me there ain't nobody but you
[Chorus]
Had a taste of the cold hard of rain,
Made it through the winds of change
And they just made us that much stronger
Even now when I watch you sleep,
Can't believe you're still here with me...
You're the answer, the answer to the rest of my life
Uhhhhhhhh, you're still the reason why
[Chorus 3x]
Next Lifetime Lyrics – Michael Bolton (feat. Liz Sharpe)
Don't know why I never told you
There was something in your eyes that took my breath away
And every word I meant to say
Now I know I'd give my soul to you
Take you back in time and hold you
Just for one more day, so I wouldn't have to hurt this way
So I beg and plead, I'm on my knees
Gonna show you how long I can wait
I can't keep holding on if you're telling my heart it's too late
[Chorus:]
Next lifetime our love will be deeper
And I'll hold you sweeter
I won't waste so much time
Next lifetime I'll find you sooner
And I'll kiss you better
I won't lose you next time
Oh I will lay my heart on the line, next lifetime
I don't know what I was thinking
But giving you a part of me wasn't good enough
Never gave you all my love
I can't believe I was such a fool
All I needed was to prove to you I could feel like this
Could have said it all in our last kiss
Oh I beg and plead, I'm on my knees
I could never unmake my mistake
I can keep holding on but if somebody's taking my place
[Chorus]
Never knew how long the nights could be
Till you slipped right through my hands
How do I make you believe that I deserve a second chance
Take me back to the place where your heart was mine
If I could take you back in time
I will lay my heart on the line
I will lay my heart on the line
There was something in your eyes that took my breath away
And every word I meant to say
Now I know I'd give my soul to you
Take you back in time and hold you
Just for one more day, so I wouldn't have to hurt this way
So I beg and plead, I'm on my knees
Gonna show you how long I can wait
I can't keep holding on if you're telling my heart it's too late
[Chorus:]
Next lifetime our love will be deeper
And I'll hold you sweeter
I won't waste so much time
Next lifetime I'll find you sooner
And I'll kiss you better
I won't lose you next time
Oh I will lay my heart on the line, next lifetime
I don't know what I was thinking
But giving you a part of me wasn't good enough
Never gave you all my love
I can't believe I was such a fool
All I needed was to prove to you I could feel like this
Could have said it all in our last kiss
Oh I beg and plead, I'm on my knees
I could never unmake my mistake
I can keep holding on but if somebody's taking my place
[Chorus]
Never knew how long the nights could be
Till you slipped right through my hands
How do I make you believe that I deserve a second chance
Take me back to the place where your heart was mine
If I could take you back in time
I will lay my heart on the line
I will lay my heart on the line
Hear Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton (feat. Jim Brickman)
Take these tears, put 'em in a bottle.
Don't let these tears I cry be in vain.
Take these tears, keep them up in heaven.
Water my life with tears like rain
Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Take this life, turn it into something,
I'm afraid it's just wasting time
Turn this life the sun has ripened, grow it slowly on the vine.
Turn my tears into wine
Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Turn my tears into wine, turn these tears into wine.
All there's left of me are traces.
Make me stronger in my broken places
Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Turn these tears into wine, turn my tears into wine
Hear me...
Don't let these tears I cry be in vain.
Take these tears, keep them up in heaven.
Water my life with tears like rain
Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Take this life, turn it into something,
I'm afraid it's just wasting time
Turn this life the sun has ripened, grow it slowly on the vine.
Turn my tears into wine
Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Turn my tears into wine, turn these tears into wine.
All there's left of me are traces.
Make me stronger in my broken places
Hear me, hear my words unspoken,
Restore my faith in hoping
Hear me, I am feeling broken I am broken open.
Turn these tears into wine, turn my tears into wine
Hear me...
The Courage In Your Eyes Lyrics – Michael Bolton (tribute to Coretta Scott King)
Nobody ever warned you
Nobody could have ever known
The road that lay before you
The journey that would lead you home
How steep was the mountain
How long was the fight
In the face of something so wrong
Somebody had to make it right
[Chorus:]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
And showered you with dignity and grace
Like the way you live your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than the world
Has ever known
Through the night and the darkest hours
The promise and the faith you kept
Brought the fury and the danger
To your home where your children slept
You believed in a time for love
There'd never be a time for hate
What kind of woman keeps the dream alive
What kind of dream does a lifetime take
[Chorus:]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
Will shower you with dignity and grace
The way you've lived your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than this world
More than the world
Has ever known
Nobody could have ever known
The road that lay before you
The journey that would lead you home
How steep was the mountain
How long was the fight
In the face of something so wrong
Somebody had to make it right
[Chorus:]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
And showered you with dignity and grace
Like the way you live your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than the world
Has ever known
Through the night and the darkest hours
The promise and the faith you kept
Brought the fury and the danger
To your home where your children slept
You believed in a time for love
There'd never be a time for hate
What kind of woman keeps the dream alive
What kind of dream does a lifetime take
[Chorus:]
The courage in your eyes
The wisdom in your smile
The strength within your heart
To walk the endless mile
The years have only shined upon your face
Will shower you with dignity and grace
The way you've lived your life
And the light you've always shown
More than the world, more than this world
More than the world
Has ever known
Said I Loved You... But I Lied Lyrics – Michael Bolton
You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus:]
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you... But I lied
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus:]
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
[Chorus]
Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you... But I lied
Time, Love And Tenderness Lyrics – Michael Bolton
So you say that you can't go on
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view
Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain
[Chorus:]
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever
Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old luck's gonna change
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby all you need
All you need is time, love and tenderness
Love left you cryin'
And you say all your hope is gone
And what's the use in tryin'
What you need is to have some faith
Shake off those sad blues
Get yourself a new view
Oh, nothing is a sad as it seems, you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday, you'll laugh at the pain
Somehow you'll get through the heartache
Somehow you can get through the rain
[Chorus:]
When love puts you through the fire
When love puts you through the test
Nothing cures a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
When you think your world is over
Baby just remember this
Nothing heals a broken heart
Like time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
I understand how you're feeling now
And what you've been through
But your world's gonna turn around
So baby don't you be blue
All it takes is a little time
To make it better
The hurt won't last forever
Oh, all the tears are gonna dry you know
'Cause someday you'll laugh at the heartache
Someday you'll laugh at the pain
You may be down on your luck
But baby that old luck's gonna change
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby you just need some
You just need some
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
The hurt ain't gonna last forever
Time, love and tenderness
Time, love and tenderness
[Chorus]
Baby, oh baby all you need
All you need is time, love and tenderness
When A Man Loves A Woman Lyrics – Michael Bolton
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Yes when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman
Go The Distance Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
Nessun Dorma Lyrics – Michael Bolton (from Puccini's "Turandot")
[Only the man who answers her riddles can marry the icy princess Turandot; those who fail die. Calaf, a prince from another land, has fallen in love with the beautiful Turandot and answered the riddles. Though by law she must marry him, Turandot pleads to be spared: only if she answers his riddle - his name.]
Nessum dorma! Nessum dorma!
Tu pure, o Princepessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle chi tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra!
No,no sulla bocca lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio baccio sciogliera!
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
Al alba vincero!
[Translation:]
No One's Sleeping!
No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping!
This evening, icy princess,
perhaps in your cold chambers,
watch all the bright stars
that tremble both with loving and with desire.
I keep my secret locked inside.
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no ! When our two mouths touch, she'll learn it,
when the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end!
May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
Nessum dorma! Nessum dorma!
Tu pure, o Princepessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle chi tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra!
No,no sulla bocca lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio baccio sciogliera!
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
Al alba vincero!

(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
To Love Somebody Lyrics – Michael Bolton
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Ev'rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got
[Chorus:]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
[Chorus]
Oh yeh
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
To love somebody oh yeh
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know, you don't know
To love somebody, to love somebody
You don't know, ooh
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be
Lived with you, lived with you
There's a way
Ev'rybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got
[Chorus:]
You don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so very blind
I'm a man
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do
If I ain't got you, ain't got you
[Chorus]
Oh yeh
You don't know what it's like
Baby you don't know what it's like
To love somebody, to love somebody
To love somebody oh yeh
To love somebody
The way I love you
You don't know, you don't know
To love somebody, to love somebody
You don't know, ooh
To love somebody, to love somebody
The way I love you
How Can We Be Lovers Lyrics – Michael Bolton
[Chorus:]
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
Tell me how we can be lovers if we can't be,
can't be friends
Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation
[Chorus]
We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying
[Chorus]
Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out
[Chorus]
How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
Tell me how we can be lovers if we can't be,
can't be friends
Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation
[Chorus]
We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying
[Chorus]
Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out
[Chorus]
Love Is A Wonderful Thing Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Birds fly, they don't think twice
They simply spread their wings
The sun shines, it don't ask why
Or what the whole thing means
The same applies to you and I
We never question that
So good, it's just understood
Ain't no conjecture
Just a matter of fact
[Chorus:]
Love is a wonderful thing
Make ya smile through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again
Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing
The only thing a river knows
Is runnin' to the sea
And every spring when a flower grows
It happens naturally
The same magic when you're in my arms
No logic can define
Don't know why, just feels so right
I only know it happens every time
[Chorus]
Oh when the cold wind blows
I know you're gonna be there to warm me
That's what keeps me goin'
And our sweet love will keep on growin'
[Chorus]
Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
It's what makes honey taste sweet
It's what makes your life complete
They simply spread their wings
The sun shines, it don't ask why
Or what the whole thing means
The same applies to you and I
We never question that
So good, it's just understood
Ain't no conjecture
Just a matter of fact
[Chorus:]
Love is a wonderful thing
Make ya smile through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again
Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing
The only thing a river knows
Is runnin' to the sea
And every spring when a flower grows
It happens naturally
The same magic when you're in my arms
No logic can define
Don't know why, just feels so right
I only know it happens every time
[Chorus]
Oh when the cold wind blows
I know you're gonna be there to warm me
That's what keeps me goin'
And our sweet love will keep on growin'
[Chorus]
Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
It's what makes honey taste sweet
It's what makes your life complete
Soul Provider Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Talk about love, talk about trust
Talkin' 'bout forever baby
When I'm talkin' 'bout us
I give you my word, stick to my guns
Believe when I tell ya baby
That we've just begun
You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan
[Chorus:]
I wanna be your soul provider
I wanna stay that way
For the longest time
I wanna be, your soul provider
Just say you'll let me
And darlin' I will
I know you've been hurt, I know you're love shy
You don't have to say it baby
It's gonna take some time
Ya got my heart, in the palm of your hand
Swear it's gonna stay there baby
Give me half a chance
You don't understand
The full intent of my plan
I've been waitin' for a long time for somebody like you
To give my love, all my love day and night
Just say you'll be mine for the rest of your life

Steel Bars Lyrics – Michael Bolton
In the night I hear you speak
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside my soul
You're holding on and you won't let go
I've tried running but there's no escape
Can't bend them, and I just can't break these....
[Chorus:]
Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine
Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'Round my heart they still remain
[Chorus]
And with every step I take
Every desperate move I make
It's clear to me
What can all my living mean
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still loving you
[Chorus]
Turn around, you're in my sleep
Feel your hands inside my soul
You're holding on and you won't let go
I've tried running but there's no escape
Can't bend them, and I just can't break these....
[Chorus:]
Steel bars, wrapped all around me
I've been your prisoner since the day you found me
I'm bound forever, till the end of time
Steel bars wrapped around this heart of mine
Trying hard to recognize
See the face behind the eyes
Feel your haunting ways like chains
'Round my heart they still remain
[Chorus]
And with every step I take
Every desperate move I make
It's clear to me
What can all my living mean
When time itself is so obscene
When time itself don't mean a thing
I'm still loving you
[Chorus]
How Am I Supposed To Live Without You Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I could hardly believe it
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
[Chorus:]
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true
[Chorus]
When I heard the news today
I had to come and get it straight from you
They said you were leavin'
Someone's swept your heart away
From the look upon your face, I see it's true
So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the
plans you're makin'
Then tell me one thing more before I go
[Chorus:]
Tell me how am I supposed to live without you
Now that I've been lovin' you so long
How am I supposed to live without you
How am I supposed to carry on
When all that I've been livin' for is gone
I didn't come here for cryin'
Didn't come here to break down
It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end
And how can I blame you
When I build my world around
The hope that one day we'd be so much
more than friends
And I don't wanna know the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
When even now it's more than I can take
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I don't wanna face the price I'm
gonna pay for dreaming
Now that your dream has come true
[Chorus]
The Very Thought Of You Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Ray Noble)
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish as it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
All The Way Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Frank Sinatra)
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless they love you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes - if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless they need you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would see
But if you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless they love you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would see
If you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you - all the way
All the way
It's no good unless they love you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes - if it's real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless they need you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would see
But if you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless they love you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would see
If you'll let me love you
For sure I'm gonna love you - all the way
All the way
A Kiss To Build A Dream On Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Louis Armstrong)
Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this:
A kiss to build a dream on.
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part,
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this:
A kiss to build a dream on.
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.
Leave me one thing before we part,
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true.
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on.
If I Could Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Ray Charles)
If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live in a time and place where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I can do
But I would
If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live in a time and place where you don't wanna be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way
If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I can do
But I would
If I could
At Last Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Glenn Miller)
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh at last, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I
Can call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh at last, at last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
I found a dream
That I could speak to
A dream that I
Can call my own
I found a thrill
To press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
You smile
You smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last
When I Fall In Love Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Doris Day)
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love has ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love has ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
It's when I fall in love with you
You Don't Know Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Eddy Arnold)
You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me
Well I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
No, you don't know me
And then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one
Who thinks of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me
Well I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
No, you don't know me
Smile Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by Nat King Cole)
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying?
You'll find that life
Is still worth-while
If you just smile
Daddy's Little Girl Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by The Mills Brothers)
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.
You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.
You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.
You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.
You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
A ray of hope, a shining star.
You're the brightest of the sunshine
Morning's first light
You warm my day, you brighten my night
You're sugar you're spice, you're everything nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.
Summertime Lyrics – Michael Bolton (originally by George Gershwin)
Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's so good lookin' baby
So hush my little darling
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna wake up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky
But till that morning
Nothing's ever gonna harm you, oh no
With your mama and your daddy standing by
But till that morning
Nothing's ever gonna harm you, oh no
So hush my little darling
Don't you cry
It's summertime
And the livin' is easy
The fish are jumpin', don't you know they're jumpin', baby
And the cotton is high

And your mamma's so good lookin' baby
Don't you hush my little darling
Don't you cry

What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Lyrics – Michael Bolton
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
Dance With Me Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I walked in and she was standing there
By the bar in a red dress, I couldn't catch my breath
Her eyes, like fire, they reached into my heart
But my soul was her target, I didn't know it yet
I couldn't fight it, I felt my knees go weak
She barely had to speak
I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
She took my hand and led me down the stairs
To the floor where the music was worshipped by strangers
Her body moved in ways I've never seen
How's the face of an angel so filled with danger
I couldn't fight it, I couldn't take the heat
She barely haad to speak
I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
I don't really wanna fall tonight
But it feels so right when I know it's so wrong
I don't really wanna walk away
'Cause she's beggin' me to stay
And she's much too strong
I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
By the bar in a red dress, I couldn't catch my breath
Her eyes, like fire, they reached into my heart
But my soul was her target, I didn't know it yet
I couldn't fight it, I felt my knees go weak
She barely had to speak
I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
She took my hand and led me down the stairs
To the floor where the music was worshipped by strangers
Her body moved in ways I've never seen
How's the face of an angel so filled with danger
I couldn't fight it, I couldn't take the heat
She barely haad to speak
I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
I don't really wanna fall tonight
But it feels so right when I know it's so wrong
I don't really wanna walk away
'Cause she's beggin' me to stay
And she's much too strong
I don't really wanna dance with the devil
I admit it, she's a little too hot for me
I don't really wanna walk through the fire
The flame's getting higher
She's killing me when she says
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby dance with me
Dance with me, dance with me, oh baby
I Wanna Hear You Say It Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Gimme back my breath, gimme back my senses
Gimme back my life, all my second chances
If I'm gonna give my all, never be without you
Tell me will you catch my fall, cause I'm about to
[Chorus:]
Love is written on your face
Do you believe in what you've found
I'll be lost in time and space, until I hear that sound
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Gimme back my pride, take away this silence
Gimme back my faith, show me where this road ends
Take away my choice, deliver me forever
You can free me with your voice
Even if you whisper
[Chorus]
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Don't make me wait for it, you know I ache for it
Don't make me break down and walk away
Your eyes have said to me, walk to the ledge with me
We're on the edge baby, tell me what I need to know.
[Chorus]
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
I wanna hear you say it
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
I wanna hear you say
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Gimme back my life, all my second chances
If I'm gonna give my all, never be without you
Tell me will you catch my fall, cause I'm about to
[Chorus:]
Love is written on your face
Do you believe in what you've found
I'll be lost in time and space, until I hear that sound
I wanna hear you say it

Your eyes have said to me, walk to the ledge with me
We're on the edge baby, tell me what I need to know.
[Chorus]

I wanna hear you say
Doesn't get any better than this
If this ain't really love then tell me baby what it is
Without you I can't breathe, what do you promise me
I wanna hear you say it, I wanna hear you say it
Only A Woman Like You Lyrics – Michael Bolton
It's beautiful, your honesty
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear you heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me
It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love
[Chorus:]
Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you
It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me
It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love
[Chorus]
If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed
It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love
[Chorus 2x]
You cry when you need to
You say what you feel
You're never afraid to wear you heart on your sleeve
You're always so open with me
It's in your voice, I can hear it
The sound of a woman in love
[Chorus:]
Only a woman can love you so much
Give you her life and give you her trust
Not any woman can do what you do
Only a woman like you
It's magical, your love for me
It's more than a man could ever receive
I'm just a man and it's hard to believe
A woman like you could love me
It's in your eyes, I can see it
The look of a woman in love
[Chorus]
If only I could find the words to say
But I just can't, so forgive me
Cause you took the words away
You answered every prayer I always prayed
It's in your touch, I can feel it
The feeling of a woman in love
[Chorus 2x]
All That You Deserve Lyrics – Michael Bolton
There's something different about you
And as I look in your eyes
It says true love has finally found you
And given you back your smile
I'm sorry I couldn't love you
The way I always meant to
Now there's someone else to play that part
I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
And may he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
And most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
I hear the way you talk about him
And suddenly it's all so clear
It's time for me to learn to move on
How deep in my heart you're still there
But I wanna see you happy
Even if it means that I'll make
Room for someone else to play that part
I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
And may he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
And most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
Now and forever you will always be
Someone who owns a place inside of me
The only way I can let you know
Is by letting go
Now as I let you go
I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
May he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
But most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
Ooh yeah
Most of all
I wish you all that you deserve
All that you deserve
And as I look in your eyes
It says true love has finally found you
And given you back your smile
I'm sorry I couldn't love you
The way I always meant to
Now there's someone else to play that part
I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
And may he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
And most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
I hear the way you talk about him
And suddenly it's all so clear
It's time for me to learn to move on
How deep in my heart you're still there
But I wanna see you happy
Even if it means that I'll make
Room for someone else to play that part
I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
And may he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
And most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
Now and forever you will always be
Someone who owns a place inside of me
The only way I can let you know
Is by letting go
Now as I let you go
I hope he comforts the child in your heart
I hope he understands the woman you are
May he never take for granted
The little things that make love work
But most of all
I hope he's all that you deserve
Ooh yeah
Most of all
I wish you all that you deserve
All that you deserve
Love With My Eyes Closed Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I close my eyes now I pray
That you're out there doing the same
I'm full out of touch
Stands alone
And needs no vision to find its home
I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggar turns to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Deep in my mind I touch your skin
To risk our emotion a life so thin
Will you love me when I am on
Just stronger hold
I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggars turn to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
That you're out there doing the same
I'm full out of touch
Stands alone
And needs no vision to find its home
I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggar turns to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Deep in my mind I touch your skin
To risk our emotion a life so thin
Will you love me when I am on
Just stronger hold
I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggars turn to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
To Feel Again Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I know I'm old 'til the moment when we dance
I finally realize I'm not so strong
Until my heart have had enough
So I close the door round up
But baby you prove me wrong
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again
My heart was going through the motion of beating
But I was faking everything breath I take
You taught me with the single kiss
Simple truth I almost miss
What good to heart that can't break
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
Feel my life begin
Put an end to all this emptiness and let you in
Took me all enough and now that I know
Never got this feeling
Oh baby
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Cause of you
Baby every way you touch me makes my senses speak
Now I dream in eleven colours
Since you woke me from my sleep
More you give, the more I wonder
Where the hell I've been
Because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again
I can feel
I finally realize I'm not so strong
Until my heart have had enough
So I close the door round up
But baby you prove me wrong
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again
My heart was going through the motion of beating
But I was faking everything breath I take
You taught me with the single kiss
Simple truth I almost miss
What good to heart that can't break
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
Feel my life begin
Put an end to all this emptiness and let you in
Took me all enough and now that I know
Never got this feeling
Oh baby
Now I remember what it's like to hurt so deep inside
God I never wanna know til you brought me back to life
Been forever since I love somebody till I cry because of you
Cause of you
Baby every way you touch me makes my senses speak
Now I dream in eleven colours
Since you woke me from my sleep
More you give, the more I wonder
Where the hell I've been
Because of you
Because of you
I can feel again
I can feel again
I can feel
The Center Of My Heart Lyrics – Michael Bolton
How do I begin to say
Words are not enough to show you how I really feel
And how the night is now just knowing you are here
I can show you night and day
I'll hold you til the end of all tomorrows disappear
Now it's all so clear
What a fool I would have been
If I never let you in
Inside of me
So faithfully stood by me
[Chorus:]
It started with a leap of faith, took me to a higher place
Though I wasn't ready to believe you were there to reach inside of me.
I thank you for the love you gave
For every step along the way
You taught me to believe again
Baby, that's the hardest part.
It's all because you took the journey
The journey to the center of my heart
Looking back I have to laugh
Thinking how I walked the earth so proudly on my own
When deep down I was scared to be alone
Somewhere down that lonely path
You appeared with love to follow anywhere I go
How did you know that you could turn my world around
This place I never would have found
Without you I would spend my life afraid to fly
[Chorus x2]
Words are not enough to show you how I really feel
And how the night is now just knowing you are here
I can show you night and day
I'll hold you til the end of all tomorrows disappear
Now it's all so clear
What a fool I would have been
If I never let you in
Inside of me
So faithfully stood by me
[Chorus:]
It started with a leap of faith, took me to a higher place
Though I wasn't ready to believe you were there to reach inside of me.
I thank you for the love you gave
For every step along the way
You taught me to believe again
Baby, that's the hardest part.
It's all because you took the journey
The journey to the center of my heart
Looking back I have to laugh
Thinking how I walked the earth so proudly on my own
When deep down I was scared to be alone
Somewhere down that lonely path
You appeared with love to follow anywhere I go
How did you know that you could turn my world around
This place I never would have found
Without you I would spend my life afraid to fly
[Chorus x2]
This Is The Way Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Your heart is my need
And I love what it means to succeed
As your fate is my prize
Love you're breathe in me
It's what keeps me alive
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes
To go on and on and on, oh baby
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live
In my dreams I can fly
In your arms, there's no earth, no sky
There's one truth, no lies
There's no distance between us
Just trust in our lives
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes to go on and on, oh baby
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live, the way that we live
In our lives there's so much useless information
The truth is as simple as the air that we breathe
So many souls with the need for human affirmation
You and I choose to believe we are free!
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The paths that we take it's all in the way that we live
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
This is the way that we live
And I love what it means to succeed
As your fate is my prize
Love you're breathe in me
It's what keeps me alive
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes
To go on and on and on, oh baby
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live
In my dreams I can fly
In your arms, there's no earth, no sky
There's one truth, no lies
There's no distance between us
Just trust in our lives
Hold on 'till forever is gone
Hold on to whatever it takes to go on and on, oh baby
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The love that we make is all in the way that we live
The way that we live, the way that we live
In our lives there's so much useless information
The truth is as simple as the air that we breathe
So many souls with the need for human affirmation
You and I choose to believe we are free!
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
The paths that we take it's all in the way that we live
This is the way that we live
This is the world where our dreams survive
Fight for the love that we give
This is the way that we live
Simply Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I simply love you, I don't have to ask why
I simply know this, like the sun knows to shine
The way you touch me, is there anything so right
In the soul of every part of me, I feel alive
[Chorus:]
It's true, I don't have to think twice
So true, baby, you're the fact of life
Every little thing you say and do
Just breaks me down and brings me back to you
It's true, there ain't no doubt in my heart
It's you, even in the deepest part
Never gonna be a way around it
It all comes down to...
I simply need you and I want you 'till I ache
You made me need you
The choice was never mine to make
I surrender, I'm just a man with no escape
'cause I'm really not about to live without you, baby
[Chorus]
Ain't got no temptation, try to solve this mystery
There ain't no explanation, just need to find out what's meant to be
[Chorus]
Now I've told you, what I've been feeling all along
Search for the right way as if it ever could be wrong
To simply say, all there is to say
I simply love you.....
I simply know this, like the sun knows to shine
The way you touch me, is there anything so right
In the soul of every part of me, I feel alive
[Chorus:]
It's true, I don't have to think twice
So true, baby, you're the fact of life
Every little thing you say and do
Just breaks me down and brings me back to you
It's true, there ain't no doubt in my heart
It's you, even in the deepest part
Never gonna be a way around it
It all comes down to...
I simply need you and I want you 'till I ache
You made me need you
The choice was never mine to make
I surrender, I'm just a man with no escape
'cause I'm really not about to live without you, baby
[Chorus]
Ain't got no temptation, try to solve this mystery
There ain't no explanation, just need to find out what's meant to be
[Chorus]
Now I've told you, what I've been feeling all along
Search for the right way as if it ever could be wrong
To simply say, all there is to say
I simply love you.....
Slowly Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Slowly desire fills the room
Slowly I feel my soul consumed
I'm losing myself in you...
Sweetly like a lovers' dance begins
Gently my fingers brush your skin
Now I've found myself in you...
Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun
Piece by piece, baby, I come undone, slowly...
[Chorus:]
You're the sun, my universe, my ever shining star
I was born to live and die right here in your arms
I want you to need me, to know you completely
There is only one way I'll make love to you...
Slowly...
Hold me, don't let this moment end
Touch me like we'll never touch again
I live for this time with you, oh
[Chorus]
Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun
Piece by piece, baby, I come undone...
[Chorus]
Tonight there's only one way I'll make love to you...slowly...
Oh oh
(You're the sun, my universe, my ever shining star), shining star
(I was born to live) I was born to love you
(And die right here in your arms)
I want you to need me, to know me completely
There is only one way I'll make love to you...Slowly...
Slowly I feel my soul consumed
I'm losing myself in you...
Sweetly like a lovers' dance begins
Gently my fingers brush your skin
Now I've found myself in you...
Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun
Piece by piece, baby, I come undone, slowly...
[Chorus:]
You're the sun, my universe, my ever shining star
I was born to live and die right here in your arms
I want you to need me, to know you completely
There is only one way I'll make love to you...
Slowly...
Hold me, don't let this moment end
Touch me like we'll never touch again
I live for this time with you, oh
[Chorus]
Heartbeat to heartbeat the night has begun
Piece by piece, baby, I come undone...
[Chorus]
Tonight there's only one way I'll make love to you...slowly...
Oh oh
(You're the sun, my universe, my ever shining star), shining star
(I was born to live) I was born to love you
(And die right here in your arms)
I want you to need me, to know me completely
There is only one way I'll make love to you...Slowly...
I Surrender Lyrics – Michael Bolton
A million miles beyond the voice of reason
It's where I can be found
Got me walking with my head in the clouds
My feet don't even touch the ground
I don't know what you've done to me, baby,
But my resistance is gone
I thought I was strong
Baby, I was wrong
'Cuz you call my name and you turn me around
As my arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you
Heartache shatters loves' innocence
My trusting days are through
My resistance was my best defense
But I never counted on you
You got the key to my destiny, babe,
I'm just a willing slave
I can't walk away, no, baby, I can't walk away
You just call my name and you turn me around
My arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender
Here I am trying to hold back the ocean
Drowning in the sea of desire
I've been betrayed by my own emotions
You and my senses conspire
(You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around)
I surrender! I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you
I surrender, surrender, surrender to you
A billion miles beyond the voice of reason
That's where I can be found
It's where I can be found
Got me walking with my head in the clouds
My feet don't even touch the ground
I don't know what you've done to me, baby,
But my resistance is gone
I thought I was strong
Baby, I was wrong
'Cuz you call my name and you turn me around
As my arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you
Heartache shatters loves' innocence
My trusting days are through
My resistance was my best defense
But I never counted on you
You got the key to my destiny, babe,
I'm just a willing slave
I can't walk away, no, baby, I can't walk away
You just call my name and you turn me around
My arms reach out and the walls come down
I surrender
Like a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender
Here I am trying to hold back the ocean
Drowning in the sea of desire
I've been betrayed by my own emotions
You and my senses conspire
(You just call my name) call my name (and you turn me around)
I surrender! I'm a fool in a game, I got no way to win
Take control of my heart, I give up, I give in
I surrender, I surrender to you
I surrender, surrender, surrender to you
A billion miles beyond the voice of reason
That's where I can be found
Eternally Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Tell me something I could say
To make you feel the power
Of my love for you
Just help me find the way
And every moment, every hour
I'll keep trying to...
Oh I swear I couldn't take it
If I thought you didn't know
Just how sweet you really made it
Music to my soul...
[Chorus:]
Far beyond all space and time
You'll live within this heart of mine
And forever with you
I will be
Take my heart and take my hand
I'll love you with all I am
When forever's through
I'll be loving you
Eternally...
Within my dreams I knew you'd come
I knew you long before I ever saw your face
You are the only one
And no one in this world could ever take your place
Oh, for as long as I am breathing
Till the stars fall from the sky
You're the one thing I believe in
My every reason why...
[Chorus]
I'll love you all my life
Like there was no time before you
And this fire burning for you
Will go on, on, on
[Chorus]
From now on
Endlessly
Loving You
Eternally...
To make you feel the power
Of my love for you
Just help me find the way
And every moment, every hour
I'll keep trying to...
Oh I swear I couldn't take it
If I thought you didn't know
Just how sweet you really made it
Music to my soul...
[Chorus:]
Far beyond all space and time
You'll live within this heart of mine
And forever with you
I will be
Take my heart and take my hand
I'll love you with all I am
When forever's through
I'll be loving you
Eternally...
Within my dreams I knew you'd come
I knew you long before I ever saw your face
You are the only one
And no one in this world could ever take your place
Oh, for as long as I am breathing
Till the stars fall from the sky
You're the one thing I believe in
My every reason why...
[Chorus]
I'll love you all my life
Like there was no time before you
And this fire burning for you
Will go on, on, on
[Chorus]
From now on
Endlessly
Loving You
Eternally...
As Lyrics – Michael Bolton
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky---ALWAYS
Until the ocean covers every mountain high---ALWAYS
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea---ALWAYS
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind Cause I'll be loving you always
Until the day is night and night becomes the day---ALWAYS
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away---ALWAYS
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4---ALWAYS
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that you're loved by somebody?
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left---ALWAYS
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself
I'll be loving you forever
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through---ALWAYS
Until the day that you are me and I am you---AL~~~~~~WA~~
~~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky~~~~~AA~~~~
~~~~AA~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~~~AA~~~~~~~YS~~ALWAYS
We all know sometimes lifes hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet you life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
so make sure when you say you're in it but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truths and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky--Loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high--Loving you
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea--Loving you
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream--Be loving you
Until the day is night and night becomes the day--Loving you
Until the trees and seas up, up and fly away--Loving you
Until the day that 8x8x8x8 is 4--Loving you
Until the day that is the day that are no more--Loving you
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left--Be loving you
Until the earth just for the sun denies itself--Loving you
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through--Loving you
Until the day that you are me and I am you--
Now ain't that loving you
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Ain't that loving you
Until the ocean covers every mountain high

Une Femme Comme Toi Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Les mots s'envolent quand tu les dis
Et comme une etoile tu fais briller mes nuits
Quand tu devoiles tous les secrets de ton coeur, tout est plus beau dans
ma vie
Dans ta voix juste ta voix, j'entends toujours parler d'amour
[Chorus:]
Il n'y a qu'une femme pour aimer comme ca
Du fond de son ame et de toute sa foi
Il n'y a qu'une femme pour aimer comme ca
Il n'y a qu'une femme comme toi
Comme une idole que l'on supplie, tu m'offres le reve, tu m'offres la
vie
Je ne suis qu'un homme, je n'imaginais pas qu'on pouvait aimer comme ca
Dans tes yeux, just tes yeux, je ne vois que briller l'amour
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Si je voulais trouver les mots qu'il faut pour te dire combien
je t'aime, comment tout en toi me plait
Il y aurait tant de mots a inventer
Dans ta voix, just ta voix, j'entends toujours parler d'amour
[Chorus]
Et comme une etoile tu fais briller mes nuits
Quand tu devoiles tous les secrets de ton coeur, tout est plus beau dans
ma vie
Dans ta voix juste ta voix, j'entends toujours parler d'amour
[Chorus:]
Il n'y a qu'une femme pour aimer comme ca
Du fond de son ame et de toute sa foi
Il n'y a qu'une femme pour aimer comme ca

Sexual Healing Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Heal me, my darling
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
When I get this feeling, I need Sexual Healing

Tired Of Being Alone Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me girl

To make you say that you love me

Let's Stay Together Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)
[repeat to fade:]
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)
[repeat to fade:]
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
My Girl Lyrics – Michael Bolton
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of May
With my girl.
Talkin' bout, talkin' bout my girl . . .
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of May
With my girl.
Talkin' bout, talkin' bout my girl . . .
Ain't No Sunshine Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Hey I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Hey I'll leave the young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
(What A) Wonderful World Lyrics – Michael Bolton
Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography
don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
don't know what a slide rule is for.
But I do know one and one is two
and if this one could be with you -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Now I don't claim to be an "A" student
but I'm trying to be.
For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history
don't know much biology
History - biology - science book - French I took
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
don't know much biology
Don't know much about the science book
Don't know much about the French I took.
But I do know that I love you
and I know that if you love me
too -
What a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography

But I do know one and one is two

Now I don't claim to be an "A" student

For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me.
Don't know much about history

Like A Rolling Stone Lyrics - Bob Dylan
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People called said beware doll, you're bound to fall
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
People who were hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal
[Chorus:]
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone
You've gone to the finest schools, alright miss lonely
but you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibies
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
[Chorus]
Oh, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jumpers and the clowns when they did their tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on your chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
[Chorus]
Princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
You better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to loose
You're invisible now, you've got not secret to conceal
[Chorus]
I Can't Stand The Rain Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Ican't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here with me
Hey window pain do you remember
How sweet it used to be

What You Won't Do For Love Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
But then I only want the best it's true
They can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything but you don't give up
In my world, only you makes me do
For love what I would not do
Makes me do for love what I would not do
A Whiter Shade Of Pale Lyrics - Bob Dylan
We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was...
[Fade]
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was...

Una Furtiva Lagrima Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Donizetti's "L'Elisir D'Amore")
[Nemorino is in love with a wealthy girl, but she says she isn't interested in poor boys like him. Desperate, he buys a "love potion" that only turns out to be cheap red wine. And yet, Nemorino believes the "elixir" will work. When he sees her cry, he knows she has fallen for him at last.]
Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani
Invidiar sembro.
Che piu ceracando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.
Un solo instante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir!
I miei sospir, confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir!
Cielo, si puo morir!
Di piu non chiedo.
[Translation:]
One Tear That Falls So Furtively
One tear that falls so furtively
from her sweet eyes has just sprung,
as if she envied all the youths
who laughingly passed her right by.
What could I want more than this?
She loves me! I see it.
One moment just to hear her heart,
beating so close next to mine,
to hear my sighs like they were hers,
her sighings as if they were mine!
Heavens, please take me now:
All that I wanted is mine now!
Una furtiva lagrima
Negli occhi suoi spunto:
Quelle festose giovani

Che Gelida Manina Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "La Boheme")
[It is christmas eve on Paris' left bank. Rodolpho is at home writing when a stranger knocks at the door. It is Mimi, a neighbor, who needs to borrow a match to relight her candle. Mimi is barely out the door, when she realizes she has lost her key. As they search for it, Rodolpho's hand falls upon hers.]
Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova?
Al buio non si trova.
Ma per fortuna
e una notte di luna,
e qui la luna l'abbiamo vicina.
Aspetti, signorina,
le diro con due parole chi son,
chi son, e che faccio, come vivo,
Vuole?
Chi son? Chi son? son un poeta.
Che cosa faccio? Scrivo.
E come vivo? Vivo.
In poverta mia lieta
scialo da gran signore
rimi ed inni d'amore,
Per sogni e per chimere
e per castelli in aria
l'anima ho milionaria.
Talor del mio forziere
ruban tutti i gioelli
due ladri:gli occhi belli.
V'entrar con voi pur ora
ed i miei sogni usati,
ed i bei sogni miei
tosto si dileguar!
Ma il furto non m'accora
poiche,poiche v'ha preso stanza
la speranza.
Or che mi conoscete
parlate voi. Deh parlate.
Chi siete? Vi piaccia dir?
[Translation:]
How Cold Your Little Hand Is
How cold your little hand is!
Will you let me warm it for you?
Why bother looking?
It's dark, and we won't find it.
It's our good luck though,
this night's filled with moonlight,
up here the moonlight could rest on our shoulders.
Please wait, my dear young lady,
and I will quickly tell you who stands before you, and
what I do, how I make my living.
May I?
Who am I? What am I? I am a poet.
What keeps me busy? Writing!
And what do I live on? Nothing!
In poverty I'm cheerful,
I am a prince who squanders
arias and couplets of longing.
And as for hopes and dreams of love
and castles-in-the-air, Miss-
I am a millionaire!
My fortress could be broken in,
robbed clean of the fine jewels I store-
if the thieves were eyes like yours.
And now that I have seen you,
all of my lovely dreaming,
all of the sweetest dreams I've dreamt,
quickly have slipped away.
This theft does not upset me,
because such treasures mean nothing
now that I'm rich with sweet hope!
And now that you have met me,
I ask you please,
Tell me, lady, who you are, I ask you please!
Che gelida manina!
Se la lasci riscaldar.
Cercar che giova?

Pourquoi Me Reveiller Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Massenet's "Werther")
[Werther is madly in love with charlotte, his friends wife. To forget her, he has run away, but when he returns, he finds he is more in love than ever. Werther recites a favorite poem for charlotte, and at last realizes the fatal truth: Charlotte can never return his love.]
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon, viendra le voyageur,
Se souvenant de ma gloire premiere,
Et ses yeax vainement chercheront ma splendeur:
Ils ne trouveront plus que deuil et que misere!
Helas! Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
[Translation:]
Why Do You Wake Me Now?
"Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring?
On my brow I sense your most gentle caresses,
yet how soon creeps on the time
filled with tempests and with distresses!
Tomorrow through the vale,the traveller will pass,
recalling all the glory of the past.
And in vain he will search for the bloom of my youth,
and nothing will he find but deep and endless sorrow."
Alas! Why do you wake me now, o sweetest breath of spring!
Pourquoi me reveiller, o souffle du printemps?
Sur mon front je sens tes caresses.
Et pourtant bien proche est le temps
Des orages et des tristesses.
Demain, dans le vallon, viendra le voyageur,

Nessun Dorma Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "Turandot")
[Only the man who answers her riddles can marry the icy princess Turandot; those who fail die. Calaf, a prince from another land, has fallen in love with the beautiful Turandot and answered the riddles. Though by law she must marry him, Turandot pleads to be spared: only if she answers his riddle - his name.]
Nessum dorma! Nessum dorma!
Tu pure, o Princepessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle chi tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra!
No,no sulla bocca lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio baccio sciogliera!
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
Al alba vincero!
[Translation:]
No One's Sleeping!
No one's sleeping! No one's sleeping!
This evening, icy princess,
perhaps in your cold chambers,
watch all the bright stars
that tremble both with loving and with desire.
I keep my secret locked inside.
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no ! When our two mouths touch, she'll learn it,
when the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end!
May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
Nessum dorma! Nessum dorma!
Tu pure, o Princepessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle chi tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun sapra!
No,no sulla bocca lo diro,
Quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio baccio sciogliera!
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!

that tremble both with loving and with desire.
I keep my secret locked inside.
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no ! When our two mouths touch, she'll learn it,
when the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end!
May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
M'Appari Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Flotow's "Martha")
[Lady Harriet and her maid Nancy, disguised as peasants called Martha and Julia, have unwittingly bound themselves for a year's service to Lionel and Plunket, two local farmers. The women soon escape, and though time passes, Lionel cannot get Martha out of his mind.]
M'appari tutt' amor,
il mio sguardo l'incontro;
bella si che il mio cor,
ansioso a lei volo;
mi feri, m'invaghi
quell' angelica belta,
sculta in cor dall'amor
cancellarsi non potra:
il pensier di poter
palpitar con lei d'amor,
puo sopir il martir
che m'affana e stranzia il cor.
M'appari tutt'amor,
il mio sguardo l'incontro;
bella si cheil mio cor
ansioso a lei volo;
Marta, Marta tu sparisti
e il mio corcol tuo n'ando!
Tu la pace mi rapisti,
di dolor io moriro.
[Translation:]
She Appeared To Me
She appeared to me, purest of love.
I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight.
Lovely was she, that my hungry heart,
in a snap, to her did fly.
I was hurt, I was charmed
by that beauty from above.
Love is etched in my heart,
and cannot now be erased.
The mere thought that our hearts
with sweet love might beat as one
is enough to forget all the sorrow
that fills my heart.
She appeared to me, purest of love.
I discovered with my eyes this vision of delight.
Lovely was she, that my hungry heart,
In a snap to her did fly.
Marta, Marta, you have left me,
and my heart with yours has vanished.
Peace and quiet, gone now forever, I will surely die of pain.
O Soave Fanciulla Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "La Boheme")
[Mimi and Rodolfo are getting acquainted fast. Outside, Rodolfo's friends call him to join them. He would rather stay with Mimi, but she shyly suggests they all go out together. "Tell me you love me," he pleads. She hold back, at first, but as this duet ends, they sing together for the first time and their first word is "Love."]
[Rodolfo:]
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar,
in te ravviso il sogno
ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!
[Mimi:]
(Ah, tu sol comandi, amor!)
[Rodolfo:]
Fremon nell'anima
dolcezze esteme, (ecc)
Nel baccio freme amor!
[Mimi:]
(Oh come dolci scendono
le sue lusinghe al cor...
Tu sol comandi, amor!)
[M:] No per pieta!
[R:] Sei mia!
[M:] V'asepttan gli amici...
[R:] Gia mi mandi via?
[M:] Vorrei dir... ma non osso.
[M:] Se venissi con voi?
[R:] Che? Mimi!
Sarebbe cosi dolce restar qui.
C'e freddo fuori.
[M:] Vi staro vicina!
[R:] E al ritorno?
[M:] Curioso!
[R:] Dammi il braccio, o mia piccina...
[M:] Obbedisco, signor!
[R:] Che m'ami...di...
[M:] lo t'amo.
[Rodolfo E Mimi:]
Amor! Amor! Amor!
[Translation:]
Oh Sweet Little Lady
[Rodolfo:]
Oh! sweet little lady! Oh sweetest vision,
with moonlight bathing your pretty face!
The dream that I see in you
is the dream I'll always dream!
[Mimi:]
(Oh, you rule alone, Love!)
[Rodolfo:]
Deep in my soul trembles
the deepest of passions, etc.
Our kisses shudder with love!
[Mimi:]
(How gently now his words of praise
make their way into my heart...
You rule alone, oh love!)
[M:] No, I beg you!
[R:] You're mine now!
[M:] Your friends are still waiting.
[R:] So soon must I leave you?
[M:] I would like...I can't say it...
[R:] Speak!
[M:] What if I went along?
[R:] What? Mimi!
How sweet instead to stay behind here.
It's freezing outside.
[M:] I'd be right beside you!
[R:] What about later?
[M:] Who knows, sir?
[R:] Take my arm, my dear young lady...
[M:] As you say, my dear sir...
[R:] Do you love me, say!
[M:] I certainly do.
[Rodolfo & Mimi:]
Love! Love! Love!

Vesti La Giubba Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci")
[Canio, and his wife, and their troupe perform adulterous comedies in their travelling shows. This time, though, life imitates art. Canio has just been warned that Nedda is in the arms of another man. When Canio arrives, the man is gone. "Tell me his name!" He threatens. Just at that moment, they announce, "It's show time!"]
Recitar!...mentre preso dal delirio
non so piu quel che dico e quel che faccio!
Eppur...e d'uopa...sforzati!
Bah, se tu forse un uom?
Tu se' Pagliaccio!
Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina.
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina,
ridi, Pagliaccio...e ognun applaudira!
Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e'l dolor...
Ridi Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!
[Translation:]
On With The Show
Go on stage, while I'm nearly delirious?
I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, chin up! I'll try harder.
Bah, you think you're a man?
You're just a clown!
On with the show, man, and put on your white-face.
The people pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if Harlequin should steal your Columbine,
laugh, you're Pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you!
Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow,
and with your clown's face hide grief and distress...
Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all your troubles,
Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart.

E Lucevan Le Stelle Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Pucinni's "Tosca")
[The painter Cavaradossi has been sentenced to death for helping to hide an escaped political prisoner. As he awaits his fate, he sings of the sweet memories of his beloved Tosca and his dashed dreams.]
E lucevan le stelle,
e olezzava le terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia.
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente
le belle forme discogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore...
L'ora e fuggita
e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
[Translation:]
How The Stars Seemed To Shimmer
How the stars seem to shimmer,
the sweet scents of the garden,
how the creaking gate whispered,
and a footstep skimmed over the sand,
how she then entered, so fragrant,
and then fell into my two arms!
Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses,
While I stood trembling,
searching her features concealed by her mantle.
My dreams of pure love, forgotten forever!
All of it's gone now!
I die hopeless, despairing,
And never before have I loved like this!

Recondita Armonia Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Puccini's "Tosca")
[Cavaradossi is working on a portrait of the Madonna for the church of St. Andrea. Thought the painting closely resembles a beautiful parishioner there, Cavaradossi explains that it is a combination of that woman. Whom he does not know, and his own dark-haired, dark-eyed lover Floria Tosca.]
Recondita armonia
di belleze diverse!...E bruna Floria,
l'ardente amante mia.
E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzuro hai l'occhio, Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
L'arte nel suo mistero
le diverse belleze insiem confonde:
ma nel ritrar costei
il mio solo pensiero,
ah! il mio solo pensier, sei tu,
Tosca, sei tu!
[Translation:]
What Strange And Lovely Harmony
What strange and lovely harmony
of such different beauties! How dark is Floria,
this ardent love of mine.
And you, mysterious beauty, long blonde and flowing tresses,
how your eyes are sky blue, Tosca's eyes are black-night.
Art, too, with it's many mysteries,
blends all together such different beauties.
But though I paint another,
my only thought is you,
oh, my only thought is you,
Tosca, is you, is you!

E La Solita Storia Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Cilea's "L'Arlesiana")
[Federico loves a girl of ill repute, so his family arranges a marriage with a childhood sweetheart. The heart-broken lad compares his sad adventure to the well known tale of a shepherd boy. He knows he will never foreget his one true love.]
E la solita storia del pastore...
Il povero ragazzo voleva raccontarla
e s'addormi.
C'e nel sonno l'oblio.
Come l'invidio!
Anch'io vorrei dormir cosi,
nel sonno almen l'oblio trovar!
La pace sol cercando io vo'.
Vorrei poter tutto scordar!
Ma ogni sforzo e vano.
Davanti ho sempre
di lei il dolce sembiante.
La pace tolta E solo a me.
Perche degg'io tanto penar?
Lei! sempre lei mi parla ancor!
Fatale vision, mi lascia!
Mi fai tanto male,
Ahime!
[Translation:]
It's That Familiar Tale
It's that familiar tale you've heard of the shepherd...
That penniless young man, attempting to retell it,
fell sound asleep.
In such slumber there's oblivion.
How I've envied him!
Like him, I would sleep all of my days-
at least if I slept, I might forget!
I seek only peace, it's all I need!
Forget it all, never recall!
Yet all is futile effort,
before me will always be
that sweet face of hers, alas!
My peace and my quiet, forever gone!
Why must I suffer so, oh why?
She, always she, speaks again to me!
Vision so fatal, please vanish!
How you have harmed me!
Alas!
Celeste Aida Lyrics - Bob Dylan (from Verdi's "Aida")
[The ethiopians have been defeated in battle. Aida, their princess, has been enslaved by the victorious egyptians, though her identity is not known to them. The egyptian general Radames falls in love with the beautiful Aida and dreams of setting her upon a throne.]
Celeste aida, forma divina,
Mistico serto di luce e fior,
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina,
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor.
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti,
Le dolci brezze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti,
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!
[Translation:]
Heavenly Aida
Heavenly Aida, goddess of beauty,
Garland of flowers and of bright light.
You are the ruler of all my thoughts,
You are the splendor of my whole life.
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies,
To the soft breezes of your native land.
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown,
And build you a throne close to the sun!

Safe Place From The Storm Lyrics - Bob Dylan
In this crazy world
You can prove that you can make it
If you're strong enough to take it
Still there will be times
When you find this life you're livin'
Is just takin' all your givin'
When you need someone to run to
The shelter of my love is always near
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus:]
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place fro the storm
People in this world
Can be blind and so demanding
Show so little understanding
And in these desperate times
Seems like everything's deceivin'
There ain't much we can believe in
Let me be the one you come to
Show you one thing, trust is always here
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus]
(Run to me) When those cold and troubled winds have found you
(Come to me) And I'll wrap my world of love around you
I'll be your flame burnin' bright
Be the sunlight in your day
That'll take you through the night baby
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place from the storm
I'll be your safe place from the storm
You can prove that you can make it
If you're strong enough to take it
Still there will be times
When you find this life you're livin'
Is just takin' all your givin'
When you need someone to run to
The shelter of my love is always near
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus:]
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place fro the storm
People in this world
Can be blind and so demanding
Show so little understanding
And in these desperate times
Seems like everything's deceivin'
There ain't much we can believe in
Let me be the one you come to
Show you one thing, trust is always here
Let me be your cover, whenever darkness falls
I'll be there, I'll be there
[Chorus]
(Run to me) When those cold and troubled winds have found you
(Come to me) And I'll wrap my world of love around you
I'll be your flame burnin' bright
Be the sunlight in your day
That'll take you through the night baby
Till the end of the line
You can count on me baby, call me any time
When the night is fallin' hard
Come on out of the rain and into my arms
Run to me, to a love that's safe and warm
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place
I'll be yours baby, your safe place from the storm
I'll be your safe place from the storm
The Best Of Love Lyrics - Bob Dylan
I've got this somethin' to tell you
There ain't no doubt in my mind
All I'm askin' is to keep you near forever
Just till the end of time
Baby I know where love grows
My heart is overflowin'
You're so fine and so true
I wanna spend my time, spendin' time with you, baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
You know you've got me by my deepest emotion
'Cause you keep givin' me the best of love
Passion and sweet inspiration
So rare and so hard to find
You are my journey and my destination
Queen of this heart of mine
Baby I know where love grows
In my life it's overflowin'
You're so fine and it's so true
I know I've got it all, all because of you, baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
You know ya reach into my deepest emotion
And you keep givin' me, the best of love
With every moment that passes by
This love goes on
It keeps growin' stronger
And the more we're together
The best keeps gettin' better, baby
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
You know you're down inside my deepest emotion
So just keep givin' me, the best of love
I've got the best of love
With every breath and every beat of my heart
Ain't nothin' finer than that sweetest emotion
Just keep givin' me, just keep on givin' me
The best of love, best of love, best of love
