Goodbye, no use leading with our chins
This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say
I wish you bluebirds in the spring to give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best, I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love.

El Tango de Roxanne
Roxanne, you don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right
Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne, you don't have to sell your body to the night
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand
Roxanne || Why does my heart cry
Roxanne || Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me,
But just don't deceive me
And please, believe me when I say I love you
Roxanne, you don't have to put on that dress || Why does my heart cry
Roxanne, you don't have to put on that dress tonight || Feelings I can't fight
Roxanne, you don't have to put on that red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on that dress tonight
Roxanne!

Your Song
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well some of these verses well they, they got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come What May
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart can you hear it sing
Tellin' me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you till the end of time
Come what may, come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide, sing out this song
And I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you
Untill my dying day.

Elephant Love Medley
C: Before, when we were... when you thought I was the Duke, you said that you loved me and I wondered if --
S: -- if it was just an act?
C: Yes.
S: Of course.
C: Oh. It just felt real.
S: Christian, I'm a courtesan. I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe.
C: Yes. Silly of me, to think you could fall in love with someone like me.
S: I can't fall in love with anyone.
C: Can't fall in love? But... a life without love that's terrible!
S: No, being on the street, that's terrible.
C: No! Love is like oxygen!
S: What?
C: Love is a many-splendoured thing!
S: What?

C: All you need is love!
S: Love is just a game.
C: I was made for lovin' you baby, you were made for lovin' me!

S: You, you will be mean.
C: No, I won't!
S: And I... I'll drink all the time.
C: We should be lovers!
S: We can't do that.

Together:
Just for one day.
We could be heroes
For ever and ever!
We could be heroes
For ever and ever!
We could be heroes...

And I can't help loving you
S: How wonderful life is...
(together) now you're in the world.

The Show Must Go On
Empty spaces - what are we waiting for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on - yeah
Ooh inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Yeah oh oh oh
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on - yeah
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
I'll top the bill
I'll earn the kill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show
The show must go on

Z: It's an erotic spectacular scene that captures the thrusting, violent, vibrant, wild bohemian spirit that this whole production embodies, Duke.

It is all to no avail.

D: Generally I like it!

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives
Expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite Continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you feed your pussycat
Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's. . . Cartier. . .
Cause we are living in a material world and i am a material girl
Talk to me, Harry Zidler, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice
Or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
'Cause that's when those louses
Go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Nature Boy
There was a boy
a very strange, enchanted boy
they say he wandered very far,
very far,
over land and sea
A little shy
and sad of eye
but very wise was he
And then one day,
a magic day,
he passed my way
and while we spoke of many things,
fools and kings,
this he said to me........
The greatest thing,
you'll ever learn,
is just to love.
And be loved in return.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, those are my favorite songs. Others that I don't feel like typing the lyrics to include: Gollum's Song, Story of a Girl, Stan, My name is, The Way I Am, Cleanin' Out My Closet, The real slim shady, Without me, Lose yourself, Hailie's Song, It's my life, Lady Marmalade, Because You Can Can-Can, Kryptonite, May It Be, and some others that I can't think of at the moment.
