I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the tears And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul Couldn’t understand why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start With a heart so badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally ---

You’ll be older too, And if I say the word, I could stay with you. I could be handy, mending a fuse When your lights have gone. You can knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday morning go for a ride, Doing the garden, digging the weeds, Who could ask for more. Will you still need me, will you still feed me When I’m sixty-four. ---

Darling, I am growing old, Silver threads among the gold, Shine upon my brow today, Life is fading fast away. But, my darling, you will be, Always young and fair to me, Yes, my darling, you will be Always young and fair to me. ---

Don’t you go It makes no sense When all your talking supermen Just take away the time And get in the way Ain’t it just like rain And love, is only heaven away Inside you the time moves And she don’t fade The ghost in you She don’t fade Inside you the time moves And she don’t fade ---

Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth? Ooh, heaven is a place on earth. They say in heaven love comes first. We’ll make heaven a place on earth. Ooh, heaven is a place on earth. When the night falls down. I wait for you and you come around. And the world’s alive with the sound Of kids on the street outside. When you walk into the room, You pull me close and we start to move. And we’re spinning with the stars above And you lift me up in a wave of love. ---

I get lost in your eyes And I feel my spirits rise And soar like the wind Is it love that I am in? I get weak in a glance Isn’t this what’s called romance? And now I know 'Cause when I’m lost I can let go I don’t mind not knowing what I’m heading for You can take me to the skies It’s like being lost in heaven When I’m lost in your eyes ---

Are the stars out tonight? I can’t tell if it’s cloudy or bright, For I only have eyes for you, dear. The moon may be high, Maybe millions of people pass by, But they all disappear from view, For I only have eyes for you. ---

Some time in the night, when you’re feeling the cold Take a look at the sky above you Those are faces in the light, if the story were told They are calling you, calling you (yeah) We are magic in the night We are shadow, we are light We are forever, you and I We’re stars We’re stars ---

From darkness I understand the night Dreams flow, a star shines Ah! I desire Evenstar Look! A star rises out of the darkness The song of the star enchants my heart Ah! I desire Ergo, Hath it not been for these words of thine, Shan’t I have found the meaning of mine, With thee only exists my harmony of life, Without thee all is naught, but a soliloquy of strife, Seeing thy visage doth I tread on my path, Without thy wishes, no direction but I hath, Alas I rove on, I pray on, to see thee one day, How thy divinity of hope lent me the light of my way, That one day shall I embark upon your shore, Shalt one moment of thy fragrance, last me evermore ---

Before Lord God made the Sea and the Land He held all the stars in the palm of his hand And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand And one little star fell alone. And the Lord God hunted through the wide night air For the little dark star in the wind down there And he stated and promised He’d take special care So it wouldn’t get lost again. Now man don’t mind if the stars grow dim And the clouds blow over and darken him So long as the Lord God’s watching over him Keeping track how it all goes on~ But I’ve been walking through the night, and the day Till my eyes get weary and my head turns grey And sometimes it seems maybe God’s gone away Forgetting the promise that we’ve heard him say And we’re lost out here in the stars. Little stars, big stars Blowing through the night And we’re lost out here in the stars. Little stars, big stars Blowing through the night. And we’re lost out here in the stars… ---

There, out in the darkness A fugitive running Fallen from God Fallen from grace God be my witness I never shall yield Till we come face to face Till we come face to face He knows his way in the dark Mine is the way of the Lord Those who follow the path of the righteous Shall have their reward And if they fall As Lucifer fell The flame The sword! Stars In your multitudes Scarce to be counted Filling the darkness With order and light You are the sentinels Silent and sure Keeping watch in the night Keeping watch in the night You know your place in the sky You hold your course and your aim And each in your season Returns and returns And is always the same And if you fall as Lucifer fell You fall in flames! And so it must be For so it is written On the doorway to paradise That those who falter and those who fall Must pay the price! Lord let me find him That I may see him Safe behind bars I will never rest Till then, this I swear… This I swear by the stars! (I posted the whole thing because it’s my favorite song from _Les Mis_) ---

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends, So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Take me to the river 'cause the desert is too dry I’m not asking for redemption For the things I feel inside When you found me here in darkness I was cursing at my fate Before you leave me standing It is not too late Redemption I don’t need no cure Be your healing hands On the sick and the poor Oh lord, give me strength Oh lord, give me love Oh lord, give me strength Oh lord, give me love ---

Soft as the voice of an angel, Breathing a lesson unheard, Hope with a gentle persuasion Whispers her comforting word: Wait till the darkness is over, Wait till the tempest is done, Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, After the shower is gone. Whispering hope, oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
