    Hiding from the rain and snow

    Trying to forget but I won't let goLooking at a crowded streetListening to my own heart beat

    So many people all around the worldTell me where do I find someone likeyou girl

    (Chorus)Take me to your heart take me to yoursoulGive me your hand before I'm oldShow me what love is - haven't got a

    clueShow me that wonders can be true

    We're only here today

    Love is now or neverBring me far away

    Take me to your heart take me to yoursoulGive me your hand and hold meShow me what love is be my guiding

    starIt's easy take me to your heart

    Standing on a mountain high

    Looking at the moon through a clearblue skyI should go and see some f riendsBut they don't really comprehend

    Don't need too much talking withoutsaying anythingAll I need is someone who makes mewanna sing

    (Chorus)

    14. Memory (Elaine Page)Midnight not a sound from the pavement

    Has the moon lost her memory?She is smiling aloneIn the lamplight, the withered leavescollect at my feet

    And the wind begins to moanMemory, All alone in the moonlightI can dream of the old daysI was beautiful thenI remember the time I knew what

    happiness wasLet the memory live againEvery streetlamp seems to beatA fatalistic warning

    Someone mutters and the street lampguttersAnd soonIt will be morning

    DaylightI must wait for the sunriseI must think of a new lifeAnd I mustn't give in.

    When the dawn comesTonight will be a memory tooAnd a new day will begin(Music interlude)

    Burnt out ends of smoky daysThe stale cold smell of morningA streetlamp dies; another night is overAnother day is dawning...Touch me!

    It's so easy to leave meAll alone with the memoryOf my days in the sun...If you touch me, you'll understand what

    happiness isLook, a new day has begun.

    15. I Know Him So Well(Elaine Page & Barbara Dickson)

    Nothing is so good it lasts eternally,Perfect situations must go wrong,But this has never yet prevented me,Wanting far too much,

    For far too long,Looking back,I could have played it differently,Won a few more moments,

    Who can tell,But it took time to understand the man,Now at least I knowI know him well

    Wasn't it good?(Oh so good)Wasn't he fine?(Oh so fine)Isn't it madness,

    He can't be mine?But in the endHe needs a little bitMore than me,

    More security,He needs his fantasy and freedom,I know him so wellNo-one in your life is with you

    constantly,No-one is completely on your side,And though I'd move my world to bewith him,

    Still the gap between us is too wide,Looking back,(Looking back)I could have played it differently,

    (I could have played it some other way),Learned about the man,Before I fell

    (I was just a little girl)But I was ever so much younger t hen,

    (Maybe, so much younger then)Now at least I knowI know him wellWasn't it good?

    (Oh so good)Wasn't he fine?(Oh so fine)Isn't it madness,

    He won't be mine?Didn't I know?How it would go,If I knew from the start,

    Why am I falling apart?Wasn't it goodWasn't he fine?Isn't it madness,He won't be mine?

    But in the end,He needs a little bitMore than me,More security,

    He needs his fantasy and freedom,

    I know him so well,It took time to understand him,I know him so well

    16. Vincent (Chloe Agnew)Starry,starry night

    paint your palette blue and grey

    look out on a summer's daywith eyes that know the

    darkness in my soul.Shadows on the hillssketch the trees and the daffodils

    catch the breeze and the winter chills

    in colors on the snowy linen land.And now I understand what you tried tosay to me

    how you suffered for your sanityhow you tried to set them free.They would not listen

    they did not know how

    perhaps they'll listen now.

    Starrystarry nightflaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

    swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in

    Vincent's eyes of China blue.Colors changing huemorning fields of amber grain

    weathered faces lined in painare soothed beneath the artist'sloving hand.And now I understand what you tried to

    say to me

    and how you suffered for your sanityhow you tried to set them free.

    they would not listen,they did not know how,perhaps they'll listen now.

    For they could not love youbut still your love was true

    and when no hope was left in sight onthat starry

    starry night.You took your lifeas lovers often do;But I could have told you

    Vincentthis world was nevermeant for oneas beautiful as you.

    Starrystarry nightportraits hung in empty halls

    frameless heads on nameless wallswith eyesthat watch the world and can't f orget.Like the strangers that you've met

    the ragged men in ragged clothes

    the silver thorn of bloody rose

    lie crushed and brokenon the virgin snow.And now I think I know what you tried tosay to me

    how you suffered for your sanity

    how you tried to set them free.They would not listen

    they're notlist'ning stillperhaps they never will.

    17. You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban)When I am down and, oh my soul, soweary;When troubles come and my heart

    burdened be;Then, I am still and wait here in thesilence,Until you come and sit awhile with me.

    You raise me up, so I can stand onmountains;

    You raise me up, to walk on stormyseas;

    I am strong, when I am on yourshoulders;You raise me up... To more than I canbe.

    You raise me up, so I can stand onmountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy

    seas;I am strong, when I am on yourshoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can

    be.

    You raise me up, so I can stand onmountains;You raise me up, to walk on stormy

    seas;I am strong, when I am on yourshoulders;You raise me up... To more than I can

    be.

    You raise me up, so I can stand onmountains;

    You raise me up, to walk on stormyseas;I am strong, when I am on yourshoulders;

    You raise me up... To more than I canbe.

    You raise me up... To more than I can

    be.

    18. Both Sides Now(Hayley Westenra)

    Rows and flows of angel hair

    And ice cream castles in the airAnd feather canyons everywhereI've looked at clouds that way

    But now they only block the sunThey rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I would have doneClouds got in my way

    I've looked at clouds from both sidesnowFrom up and down, and still somehow

    It's cloud illusions I recallI really don't know clouds at all

    Moons and Junes and Ferris wheelsThe dizzy dancing way that you feel

    As every fairy tale comes realI've looked at love that way

    But now it's just another show

    And you leave 'em laughing when you goAnd if you care, don't let them knowDon't give yourself away

    I've looked at love from both sides nowFrom give and take, and still somehowIt's love's illusions I recallI really don't know love

    Really don't know love at all

    Tears and fears and feeling proudTo say "I love you" right out loud

    Dreams and schemes and circus crowdsI've looked at life that way

    Oh but now old friends they're actingstrange

    And they shake their headsAnd they tell me that I've changedWell something's lost but something'sgained

    In living every day

    I've looked at life from both sides nowFrom win and lose and still somehowIt's life's illusions I recall

    I really don't know life at allIt's life's illusions I recallI really don't know lifeI really don't know life at all
