Let the Night Gently Fall
translated from "Rang4 Ye4 Qing1 Qing1 Luo4 Xia4"
Waiting for the night to fall gently
Blanketing both you and I
Waiting for dawn to deal her hand
The past is already over and the future may not exist
So let us continue to believe in the present
I've always been true to you
A thousand gentle ways that speak of a single feeling
The beaming face of blossoming flowers
And the ethereal twinkling stars
Are the seeds of pining I shyly scatter so
You have never changed all along
A dignified silence profusing a thousand apologies
Embrace me tightly, Let go of me gently
Like you release the restless baggage in your soul
Once, I let an innocent love
Nestle gently on your shoulders
Believing that it would shelter me from the storm and wind
And face lonely dusks with me
But in your warmly reassuring chest
I always hear an impassive sigh
Your demure honest eyes
Inadvertently make me withdraw into myself
Maybe it's not love anymore
But a passionless routine
Maybe love still exists
Maybe it's the inevitable heartbreak that defines growing up
Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do
But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, oh, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacherman and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Dreamin', I must be dreamin'
Or am I really lyin' here with you
Baby, you take me in your arms
And though I'm wide awake
I know my dream is comin' true
And, oh, I just fall in love again
Just one touch and then
It happens every time
And there I go I just fall in love again
And when I do
Can't help myself, I fall in love with you
Magic, it must be magic
The way I hold you
And the night just seems to fly
Easy, for you to take me to a star
Heaven is that moment
When I look into your eyes
And, oh, I just fall in love again
Just one touch and then
It happens every time
And there I go I just fall in love again
And when I do
Can't help myself, I fall in love with you
I guess you know, I guess you heard
In time might have told you, but I guess I'm too slow
And it's overly romantic but I know that it's real
I hope you don't mind if I say what I feel
It's like I'm in somebody else's dream
This could not be happening to me
But you were there, and you were everything I'd ever seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there
Don't be alarmed, no don't be concerned
I don't want to change things
Leave them just as they were
I mean, nothing's really different
It's me who feels strange
I'm always lost for words when someone mentions your name
I know that I'll get over this for sure
I'm not the type who dreams there could be more
But you were there, and you were everything I'd ever seen
You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and you were there
Can I take your smile home with me, or the magic in your hair?
The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
Look at all the colors know the sun's here at last
I suppose that you'll be leaving but I want you to know
Part of you stays with me even after you go
Like an actor playing someone else's scene
This could not be happening to me
But you were there, and you were everything I never seen
You woke me up from this lone and endless sleep
I was alone
I opened my eyes and no, I'm not alone, I'm not alone
I opened my eyes and you were there
I read a note my Grandma wrote Back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat And he showed it once to me
He said, Boy, you might not understand But a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none But I loved your Grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet And run away together
Get married in the first town we came to And live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet
Instead I found this letter And this is what it said
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me
I read those words just hours before My Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church Where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry In all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her His eyes filled up with tears
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then Till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly Madly Deeply Do
I will be strong I will be faithful
Cos I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning yeah
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish and get to heaven
And make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby
You don't have to close your eyes
Just standing right before you
All that you need will surely come
The stranger sang a theme
From someone else's dream
The leaves began to fall
And no one spoke at all
But I can't seem to recall
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
The tree-lined avenue
Begins to fade from view
Drowning past regrets
In tea and cigarettes
But I can't seem to forget
When you came along
Ingenue
Ingenue
I just don't know what to do
You say I only hear what I want to
And you say I talk so all the time so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong
Cos I miss you
I miss you
And you say I only hear what I want to
I don't listen hard
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
To anyone anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearing negative; No no no
So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying cos the other won't stay
Some of us hover when we weep for the other
Who was dying since the day they were born
This is not that I think I'm throwing but I'm thrown
And I thought I would live forever but now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever but that won't take me anyhow
Or anywhere With you
And you said that I was naEe and
I thought that I was stronger
I thought, "Hey I can leave, I can leave"
Oh but now I know that I was wrong
Cos I miss you
I miss you
You said you called me cos you want me and one day you'll let me go
You tried to give away a keeper or keep me cos you know you're just so
Scared to lose
And you say
Stay
And you say
I only hear what I want to
Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
Cos I spent half my life from afar
You wouldn't disagree
Do you see me? Do you see do you like me
Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice? Do you know do you see me
Do you see me
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness was when I was young and
We didn't give a damn
Cos we were raised to see life as father
Take it if we can
My mother my mother she held me
And she held me when I was out there
My father my father he liked me
And he liked me
Does anyone care?
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think something better than I am
I miss you I miss cos I liked it
Cos I liked it when I was out there
Do you notice Do you know you did not find me
You did not find
Does anyone care?
Every time I must say goodbye to you
I feel so down and sigh
Every night all I do is think of you
You stole my heart away
Didn't know how true love means to me until now
Didn't know why lovers cry
Couldn't wait to see your smiling face anymore
Every time you must face the restless world
Do you remember me
And whenever you need a gentle word
Why don't you call me up
I'm the one for you when things get rough times are hard
Don't you know just what I mean
Couldn't wait to hear your endless dreams
Come to me
Sing a love song for me Sing for me a serenade
Make happiness happen
Sing a love song for me Sing for me a serenade
And leave loneliness alone
Every time I will say good luck to you
I hope you'll hold me tight
Every night all I do is see you through
You set my heart on fire
Didn't know how true love works on me until now
Didn't know how high we fly
Couldn't wait to see your smiling face anymore
Sing a love song for me Sing for me a serenade
Make happiness happen
Sing a love song for me Sing for me a serenade
And leave loneliness alone
Eyes On Me
by Faye Wong
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
Close To Me
by Cagnet
Silence fills my room
I'm so all alone
I dream of you
Lying here next to me
I will hold you in my arms
Underneath the stars
Feel the wind blowing through your hair
Your head in mine
I adore you
Please don't ever go
Keep you close to me
Cause I need you so
Imagine you and me
In the field of dreams
The earth is still
Time never ends
I'll climb as high as mountains
Just to be with you
When you're near I feel warm inside
With you as one
I adore you
Please don't ever go
Keep you close to me
Cause I need you so
Only Love
by Trademark
2 am, And the rain is falling
Here we are, At the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be?
You're asking me
But only love can say
Try again or walk away
But I believe, For you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's sometihng only love can do
In your arms, As the dawn is breaking
Face to face, At a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, If we learn to trust
I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dreams just one more chance
Don't let this be our last goodbye
Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
as performed by Stefanie
I dont wanna lose you, I dont wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I dont wanna hate you, I dont wanna take you
But I dont wanna be the one to cry
That dont really matter to anyone, anymore.
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Now I could never change you, I dont wanna blame you
Baby you dont have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you
Maybe I just want to have it all
It makes a sound like thunder, It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change.
But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.
And theres no way home
When its late at night and youre all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay
And theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they cant touch
Theres a reason why people dont stay who they are
Cause Baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Bizarre Love Triangle
as performed by Frente
Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows
While every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
Melodies of Life
written by Nobuo Ueatsu
performed by Emiko Shiratori
Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart.
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of Life-Love's lost refrain.
Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why,
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said good-bye,
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.
In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds-forever and beyond.
So far and away, see the bird as it flies by,
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky,
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings,
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.
In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding up the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on. Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds-forever and beyond.
If should I leave this lonely world behind.
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on. Melodies of Life.
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts,
As long as we remember.
Superman (It's Not Easy)
by Five for Fighting
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird; I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd; but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed; but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away; away from me
It's all right; You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me
Another Day
by Lene Marlin
Lie to me, say that you need me
That's what I wanna hear
That is what, what makes me happy
Hoping you'll be near
All this time, how could I know
Within these walls, I can feel you
Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love
You must think, how can this be
You don't really know me
I can't tell, this ain't the time
You'll never be mine
What can I say, something 'bout my life
I just lost again
Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love
Always have to move on,
To leave it all behind
Go along with time
Another day goes by, will never know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love
