Instrumental

Lay your head down by my side
Look that way just one more time
And promise me... nothing
I know time isn't ours to keep
But that doesn't mean I can't watch you sleep
Listen to the strength of silence

There's a sweet sensibility
(Sweet...)
And darlin' that is enough for me
I know you are taken
But, do I get to you just a little bit
(Little bit)
I know I'm as close as I'm gonna get
And though my heart is close to breaking

Oh if you're any kind of man at all
You know the woman I am
So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made
I will be just a friend

(ooh...)
Flowers grow in the month of May
And they brighten my every day
You're here for me now and I'm laughing
(sound effect: laugh)
(ooh ooh)
And though I crave your soulful kiss
I can deal with it as it is
Two tall ships passin'

Oh if you're any kind of man at all
(ooh ooh...)
You know the woman I am
So darling don't be afraid I won't break plans you've made
I will be just a friend

I don't doubt for a moments time
The heart's not a mirror of the mind
But think it through anyway
(ooh...)
And if you wake up a lonely child
And want to escape for a little while
Come to me and we'll dance out in the rain
Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain

If I said I'm in love with you
Tell me what then would you do?

Goodnight...

All right
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Moonchild
Na na na na na
Moonchild
(Moon...)

All day long I wait for the sun to disappear
So I can free myself in the cool night air
(mmm...)
Take down my hair and feel the wind on my shoulders
(ooh ooh)
With every breeze I feel my heart grow bolder and bolder

Moonchild, love it when your light shines down on me
Moonchild, want someone to dance the dream
Moonchild, wrap me up beneath the stars
Moonchild, come to me when the night grows dark
Tell me who you are, moonchild

I swear that I can feel your arms around me now
I know you're somewhere ooh so I'm reaching out
All day a misty shadow follows me
(Follow shadow)
(mmm... yeah)
I can hear you calling, darling
Can't you see
I'm your

Moonchild, love it when your light shines down on me
Moonchild, want someone to dance the dream
Moonchild, wrap me up beneath the stars
Moonchild, come to me when the night grows dark
Tell me who you are, moonchild

ooh ooh ooh...
do do do do do do
All right
ooh ooh ooh...

Moonchild
(Moon)
Moonchild
(Child...)
Moonchild
(Moon)
Moonchild
Na na na na na

I'm your

Moonchild, love it when your light shines down on me
Moonchild, want someone to dance the dream
Moonchild, wrap me up beneath the stars
Moonchild, ooh come to me when the night grows dark
Tell me who you are, moonchild
(Tell me who you are)

Na na na na na
Love it when your light shines down on me
Na na na na na
Want someone to dance the dream
Na na na na na
Come on and wrap me up beneath the stars
Na na na na na
Why don't you come to me when the night grows dark?

(Moonchild)
Love it when your light shines down on me - oh
(Moonchild)
Want someone to dance the dream - oh...
(Moonchild)
The stars...
(Come on and wrap me up beneath the stars)
(Moonchild)
Come to me when the night grows dark
(Moonchild)
woah - yes
(Love it when your light shines down on me)
(Moonchild)
(Want someone to dance the dream...)

Baby take my hand and I'll take you higher
'Cause my one desire is you and I need you now
More than ever if it takes forever and I know
These things are things you've heard
But up 'til now they were only words

Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night, my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
(woah...)
But they were only words

Now I feel like a wise old man 
(oh yeah)
I now understand all the hows, the whens, the whys
These thoughts are mine for the very first time
Love it springs, it blooms, eternal and true
It may sound nothing new to you

Only words
Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night, my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
(woah...)
But they were only words
(Only words)

Here's hoping that we'll never break the silence
(oh yeah)
Here's hoping that we never run from ourselves
Here's hoping "can't" and "never", "not now"
And "gee it's time to go" are words we'll never know

Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
(Dancing)
(woah...)
(Strangers)
(oh yeah)
(oh yeah)
Now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
(oh blinding...)
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
(oh yeah)
But they were only words

Dancing on the lips of intimate strangers
Shallow like the city, now they're vivid like the sun
Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
ooh
Only words

(ooh...)
oh yeah
(oh yeah)
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Blinding me with spirit
In the night my private soul can hear it
Common as the hummingbirds
But they were only words
(Only words)

ah...
ah...
ooh...

Sorry if I didn't do this, didn't do that
It's just I don't know you anymore
What turns you on
What has been turning you off
'Cause I hear you talking behind closed doors
What do they say all these friends of yours
And why are they no longer friends of mine?
Do they remember

When we didn't have to touch
(hmmm...)
It's just that it meant so much
(hmmm...)
And all hesitation was gone
(hmmm hmmm hmmm)
We didn't analyze
(ooh ooh ooh)
We didn't have to do anything
It just came naturally

Wasn't it you who used to read my mind
I'd pick up the phone and you were there
Now it's as if you are a step behind
(A step behind)
It was an effortless affair
Under the moon I made promises
(ooh...)
That I really thought I'd keep back then
Do you remember

When we didn't have to touch
It's just that it meant so much
And all hesitation was gone
(hmmm...)
(Gone, gone, gone)
We didn't analyze
We didn't have to do anything
It just came naturally

I don't want to let go
I'd be letting down you and me and everyone
That hung their hopes upon
Our love and our trust
Where has all the goodness gone?

Do you remember

We didn't have to touch
It's just that it meant so much
And all hesitation was gone
(Gone, gone, gone)
But we didn't analyze
We didn't have to realize anything
It just came naturally...

Please don't
Go away don't
Leave me to face the crowds alone
Oh don't you know you're my home

Please stay, just one more night stay
Then if you must move on without me
Wait til my wits are about me
Deep in your heart know though I'll start anew
Nobody's you

I will always compare them always
To you, no they don't stand a chance
They'll try poor souls but won't come close
Save me
(mmm)
Dance close and save me
Truth be known I will not be whole without you here to hold
(ooh ooh...)
But if you must go like lovers often do
Know nobody's you

(woah...)
Oh if it's pleasure I seek then pleasure I'll find
I'll even go so far as to say a treasure will be mine
But, oh there's gold and then there's diamonds my darling
Precious and few a gem of the earth the magic of you

Give in, go on and give in
I am what you are to me too
A light in a dark room
Try as they do
Nobody's you
Though they move me too
(They move me too)
Nobody's you
(Try as they do)
No, nobody's you

Deborah Gibson:
Hey, I'm the one he left you for
Can I come in? 'cause the wolf is at my door
He said that it was you
Now that just don't ring true
Like it did when I thought he was mine
Please let me inside, oh...

Deborah Gibson:
I just want to cry tonight
And I know you'll understand
How much I hurt inside
'cause I know that you know the man
I know he had his way with us
Aren't you afraid he stole your pride?
Out of sight isn't out of mind
So don't you want to cry tonight?

Anna-Jane Casey:
Hey did he say you hung the moon?
And you made it shine in a sky he never knew
Well I've got news for you
I hung the moon too

Deborah Gibson:
Ain't it funny how that moon turns blue
When there's someone new

Anna-Jane Casey:
Can't believe there's someone new

Anna-Jane Casey:
I just want to cry tonight

Deborah Gibson:
Don't you wanna cry?

Anna-Jane Casey:
And I know you'll understand
All the hurt that I feel inside
'cause I know that you know the man

Deborah Gibson:
Yes I know that man

Anna-Jane Casey:
Though he had his way with us

Deborah Gibson:
Ooh yeah

Anna-Jane Casey:
So afraid that he stole my pride

Deborah Gibson:
Same with me

Anna-Jane Casey:
Out of touch isn't out of mind

Deborah Gibson:
Ooh

Anna-Jane Casey:
Don't you want to cry tonight?

Deborah Gibson and Anna-Jane Casey:
Who would have thought
We'd be each other's shoulders to cry on
Life sure holds the strangest surprises
And they're not always sweet, no

Deborah Gibson:
I just want to cry tonight

Anna-Jane Casey:
I just want to cry

Deborah Gibson:
And I know you'll understand

Anna-Jane Casey:
How much I hurt inside

Deborah Gibson:
Oh I hurt inside

Anna-Jane Casey:
'cause I know that you know the man

Deborah Gibson:
I know that man

Deborah Gibson and Anna-Jane Casey:
I know he had his way with us
I'm so afraid that he stole my pride
Out of sight isn't out of mind

Anna-Jane Casey:
More than memories are left behind

Deborah Gibson:
Hey, don't you wanna cry tonight?

Anna-Jane Casey:
Oh yeah...
Oh no...

Deborah Gibson:
Cry tonight

ooh...
ooh...
No, I'm not where I wanna be...

Talking all the talk that makes me feel strong
Going all the places where smiles greet me
Can't get it through my head that I did nothing wrong
It would be easier if I had myself to blame
But it's pouring rain under my umbrella

I tried walking around, 'round these streets by myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I can't make him see
And I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be

Going out with the girls on a Saturday night
Reaching out to strangers so I don't feel deeply moved
Yeah they're my friends and I like them alright
But they can't do the things that we used to do
So I've got to say that I miss you baby

I tried walking around, 'round these streets by myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And I still can't make him see
And I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I want to be

It's amazing how one little broken heart
Can radiate so much pain
Some guy looked at me and then he turned away
Saw my eyes sayin' I will never fall again

ooh...
ooh...
No, no
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
Still I can't make him see
I can't call my life my own
'Cause I'm not where I wanna be

I tried walking around
(ooh ooh)
By myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And I still can't make him see
And I can't call this life my own
Cause I'm not where I wanna to be

(Where I wanna be...)
'Round these streets by myself
(Where I wanna be)
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I can't make him see
I can't call this life my own
'Cause I'm not where I wanna be

(Where I wanna be)
No, I'm not where I wanna be
(oh no...)
No, I'm not where I wanna be
No, I'm not where I wanna be
No, I'm not where I wanna be
(oh no)
No, I'm not where I wanna be
(ooh ooh ooh...)
No, I'm not where I wanna be
No, I'm not where I wanna be
No, I'm not where I wanna be
No, no, I'm not where I wanna be...

[A CAPELLA]
I tried walking around, 'round these streets by myself
Said "pretty girl don't look down"
But I could look no place else
The smiles, the bed, the telephone
And still I can't make him see
And I can't call this life my own
'Cause I'm not where I wanna be...

Don't close your hand
Just close your eyes
And I will stay right by your side
And if this world turns cruel and cold
Look to the skies
Don't you see the truth?
The power of one, the power of two
The power of me loving you

Butterflies are free
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free

You see a light
You hear the call
And if I don't let you fly
I don't you know at all

So go on and roam
See all that you can
Born unto this earth a curious soul
You and you alone can make you feel whole
But don't I add truth you've never known

Butterflies are free
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
(Spread their wings)
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
(ooh...)
Cause love like butterflies are free

The tighter the grip
The more you'll resist
It's human nature I suppose
(Human nature)
But I'd rather be surprised by a kiss
Than under your control

oh - butterflies are free
(Free)
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
(Spread their wings)
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
(ooh...)
Cause love like butterflies are free

(Free)
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
(Spread their wings)
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
(ooh...)
Cause love like butterflies are free...

Butterflies are free
(Free)
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
(Spread their wings)
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
(ooh...)
Cause love like butterflies are free...

ooh
Butterflies are free
(ooh...)
Free to come and go
(Come and go)
Free to spread their wings
(Spread their wings)
Know that I know
You'll come back to me
(ooh...)
Cause love like butterflies are free...

(Free)
Free to come and go
(Come and go)
Free to spread their wings
(Spread their wings)
You'll come back to me
(ooh...)
Cause love like butterflies are free...
(Yeah...)
Free... yeah!

Baby why do you not love me
Why do you not see me in the light that I see you in
Don't you ever need me in the still of the night
(ooh ooh)
I've been there in your shoes feeling strong, feeling innocence
Nothing short of a miracle could make it make sense
Oh darling

I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
(Give me your love)
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love

I know all that's in your rulebook
I took more than one look
And I know you are the proud type
But I hate game playing, yes I know how to win
But it's not fair to me
(no, no, no, no)

You should move 'cause you're wanting to
Not because I fly
(Because I fly)
Can you only view your dreams when they're
Up there in the sky
Oh, darlin'...

I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
Oh darling, yes you would
(Give me your love)
ooh
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love

(woah woah woah)
ooh ooh ooh no, no, no
(do do do do do do do)
yeah yeah
(woah woah woah)
ooh ooh ooh ooh

(ooh...)
I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
(ooh...)
Oh darling, yes you would
(Give me your love)
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
(ooh...)
You think you would give me your love
(ooh...)

I gave you the moon, the stars above
You think you would give me your love
(ooh...)
Come on, give it to me
(Give me your love)
Give it to me
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love
(ooh...)

ooh...
give me, give me, give me, give me - yeah

(I gave you the moon, the stars above)
The stars above
You think you would give me your love
Your love, your love, your love, your love, your love, your love
(Give me your love)
Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun
You think you would give me your love

ooh ooh...
(I gave you the moon, the stars above)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(ooh... give me your love)
(Came in like the tide, rose up like the sun...)
(ooh ooh...)

ooh ooh ooh...

Blame it on the blues you sing
Blame it on anything and everything
Blame it on a lack of faith or a twist of fate
'Til it makes you feel ok
Then come to terms with the fact
It was over because it was

It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place
Or my frame of mind, or the look on your face
It wasn't the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Sad to say
It just wasn't love

Oh, I thought that you were the one
Saw forever
It was here and it was gone
I needed a reason clear things don't disappear
And that's how I found the truth
It's just how the story goes
We've been over it a hundred times

It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place
Or my frame of mind, or the look on your face
It wasn't the road we were on
Or the days, though they were not enough
Sad to say
It just wasn't love

Some things need no explanation
No chance for will that's free
(oh no, no)
Some things kill every reason we have
To ever believe things are what they seem
oh no, no

ooh ooh
It wasn't the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Sad to say

It wasn't the time
It wasn't the place
Or my frame of mind, or the look on your face
It wasn't the road we were on
Or the days, though there were not enough
Sad to say
It just wasn't love

No, no, no, no
Baby, no it just wasn't love
It just wasn't love

No, no, no, no
Baby, no it just wasn't love
(ooh...)
It just wasn't love

No, no, no, no
ooh ooh ooh ooh
Just wasn't love

No, no, no, no
(Baby, no)
Baby, no it just wasn't love
It just wasn't love...

Chris Bruno:
Salut ma belle fille
                    [Hello my beautiful girl]
Ca va ce soir?
                    [How are you this evening?]
Je croit que tu est absolument jolie
                    [I think you're positively beautiful]
C'est nous tout seul ce soir
                    [We're alone tonight]
Est je veux etre avec toi
                    [And I want to be with you]
Ca c'est "cool"
                    [That's "cool"]

The writing's on the wall
And the words it spells aren't very nice
Although I'm me, you're you
I've been down that road once or twice
And it's ended in disaster
And someone's heart always breaks
But, I cannot help but wonder 'bout the love that we might make

I should walk away from you now
(Should walk away)
(Turn around)
Should just turn right around
Should say I'm never gonna fall for you
(Never gonna fall)
But I can't

I've counseled many peers
In situations milder than this
And my advice to them
Was at all costs avoid that first kiss
But we've waltzed in dreams already
(ooh ooh)
And I never could tell lies
And I can't resist the wonder
That is there behind those eyes

I should walk away from you now
(Should walk away)
(Turn around)
Should just turn right around
Should say I'm never gonna fall for you
(Never gonna fall)
But I can't

Dangerous as it may be
I want to dance this dance
(ooh ooh ooh)
Let the world take me baby
But not before I take this chance

I've told your heart good-bye
(Good-bye)
So why does mine refuse to hear?
I've pondered what and why
I tremble when you are near
You're the drink that makes me thirsty
But I crave you just the same

I should walk away from you now
(Should walk away)
(Turn around)
Should just turn right around
Should say I'm never gonna fall for you
(Never gonna fall)
But I can't

Oh, I should say I'm never gonna fall for you
(Never gonna fall)
But I can't

We travel single-o
Maybe we're lucky but, I don't know
With them just let one kid fall down
And seven mothers faint
I guess we're both happy
But maybe, we ain't

People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

Don't tell me not to live just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade

I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum 
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat sir 
At least I didn't fake it
Hat sir, I guess I didn't make it

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
Or freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye

I gotta fly once, I gotta try once 
Only can die once, right sir?
Ooh love is juicy, juicy and you see
I gotta have my bite sir

Get ready for me love cause I'm a comer
I simply got to march my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot and bam
Hey Mr. Arnstein, here I am!

I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum 
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir 
At least I didn't fake it
Hat sir, I guess I didn't make it

Get ready for me love cause I'm a comer
I've simply got to march my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no nobody is gonna rain on my parade

Here we stand
Each of us afraid to make a sound
Hoping love will turn this thing around
And I know what I must do

So I will let you go
Yes fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope it is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go

Sometimes
Two steps back is just what lovers need
Not knowing that it's love that makes us free
So I'll be brave and retreat

Yes I will let you go
(Let you go)
Yes fly away my love
Linger for awhile
Live for a strangers smile
And hope it is enough
You'll return
But I must let you go

No it's not, no it's not fair darling
Missing precious hours, precious days
(oh oh oh oh)
Making you figure out
What I know to be true
Love remains
(oh...)

Fly away my love
Linger for a while
Live for a strangers smile
And hope that is enough
You'll return
I know
But I must let you go...

Please see Only Words

woah, woah
We're gonna take you back now!
ah, ah, ah, ah
ah...
ah, ah, ah, ah

Every time I'm telling secrets
I remember how it used to be
And I realized how much I miss you
And I realize how it feels to be free

Now I see I'm up to no good
(no, no, no)
And I wanna start again
(ah)
Can't remember
When I felt good
(Baby)
No I can't remember when

No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
yeah, yeah
ooh!

Couldn't see how much I missed you
(Now I do)
Couldn't see how much it meant
(ah)
Now I see my world
Come tumbling down
(Tumbling, tumbling)
Now I see the road is bent

If I only once could hold you
(no, no, no)
And remember how it used to be
(ah)
If only I could scold you
(Baby)
And forget how it feels to be free

No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
yeah yeah
ooh!

No, no, no, no
Only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

It was only in my dreams
It was real, it was real as it could seem
When you feel like I feel
And my world it, it still spins around
And it feels like I'm tumbling
Tumbling down

Can a girl be lost without her man
See you in the night in dream land
Gonna get you back
Some way some how
Gonna take you back now

Only, oh, oh, oh
Only, oh, oh, oh
(yeah)
Only, oh, oh, oh
(yeah)
Only, oh, oh, oh
(ooh...)
Only, oh, oh, oh
(yeah)
Only, oh, oh, oh
(yeah)

woah woah
ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh...
ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

ah, ah, ah, ah
ah, ah, ah, ah

No, only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

No, no, no, no, no
Only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
(It was only in my dreams)
It was only in my, it was only in my, it was only in my...

No, no, no, no
Only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams

No
(No...)
No!
Only in my dreams
As real as it may seem
It was only in my dreams
ooh!

No, no, no, no
(Only in my dreams...)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
(As real as it may seem...)
No, no, no
It was only in my dreams...
