1. _ I'm Afraid This Must Be Love
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
I like New York, dear,You love L.A.
we've got nothing in common...they say
Oh, what a pair
It's like Rogers without Astaire
But when we're dancing
It's just more than I can bear
First I hear those violins
And the world breaks out in silly grins
Then I fly to the stars up above
So I'm afraid this must be love
You like the sun, dear,I prefer snow
We're like fire and water...I know
Isn't it strange?
With so much we could rearrange
I pray there's one thing
That we never, ever change
'Cause I hear those violins
And the world breaks out in silly grins
Then I fly to the stars up above
And I'm afraid this must be love We might never agree, dear
But between you and me, dear
Who cares?
'Cause rain or shine or
Any old kind of weather
We have something together
We share...
So let's hear those violins
Let the world break out in silly grins
Then let's fly to the stars up above
'Cause when all is said and done
I know you're the only one
So I'm afraid this must be love

2. _ Big Time
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
He said you've got the good to make the big time
And then he puffed on his cigar
We'll make a killing, we'll get top billing
I'm gonna make you a star
First we'll improve a bit on Mother Nature
I got a doctor friend you'll see
Imagination plus augmentation
Voila, a brand new me!
To get to the big time
You need big time looks
A shady accountant
Who can cook the books
A couple of well-placed friends
Some dynamite eight by tens
Before you can reap
Those big time dividends
Before you know it I was movin' up there
Dom Perignon and caviar
A late night "Yes Sir" leads to good press Sir
And takes a girl pretty far
So now my name's in lights about the title
Or it's not on the dotted line
On the back-lots now, I call the shots now
When there's a contract to sign I'm up in the big time
So I make them wait
I'm up in the big time
So I'm always late
I tell them all "Let's do lunch"
Then give them that one-two-punch
I'm part of the big-brass, first class
Big Time Bunch
I hit the right places
I cover my bases
I do what I have to
Smile till it hurts, baby
Wear shorter skirts, baby
Cry in a pinch, baby
But I won't dare
Give a single square inch, baby
Up here in the big time
I've got big time friends
Who wanna make sure
My big time never ends
My motto is: "I've Got Mine"
I live on the bottom line
Up here in the "A-Team," wet-dream
Big, big time!
It's coming up roses
And Barrymore noses
Worth all the sweat, dear?
Worth it?...you bet dear!
When you make that climb
From the nickel and dime
To the simply sublime...
Big Time!

3. _ Only Love
Lyrics: Nan Knighton
I see you try to turn away
I hear the words you want to say
I feel how much you need to hide
What's happening inside you tonight
Come meet my eyes one moment more
Our eyes are different than before
This night, so beautiful and strange
This night begins to change who we are
Don't turn away, it's only love quietly coming to you
Whispering through you
Take my hand, it's only love
Let it come through you slowly
Don't be afraid ,it's only love
We touch, the dark begins to stir
We can't go back to where we were
Don't be afraid to make it real
Don't be afraid to feel tonight Don't turn away, it's only love
Only a touch that frees you
Let it release you
Take the chance, it's only love
Open your heart and show me
Don't be afraid, it's only love
Don't close your eyes
Don't hold it in
Reach out to me
Let it all begin
Don't be afraid, it's only love
Only a touch that frees you
Let it release you
Take the chance, it's only love
Let it come through you slowly
Open your heart and show me
Don't be afraid it's only love

4. _ Someone Like You
Lyrics: Leslie Bricusse
I peer through windows
Watch life go by
Dream of tomorrow
And wonder why
The past is holding me
Keeping life at bay
I wander lost in yesterday
Wanting to fly
But scared to try
But if someone like you
Found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
My heart would take wing
And I'd feel so alive!
If someone like you
Found me!
So many secrets
I long to share
All I have needed
Is someone there...
To help me see a world
I've never seen before
A love to open every door
To set me free
So I can soar If someone like you
Found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
There'd be a new way to live
A new life to love
If someone like you
Found me
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
My heart would take wing
And I'd feel so alive!
If someone like you
Loved me!
Loved me!
Loved me!

5. _ Over the Rainbow
Lyrics: E.Y. Harburg
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high there's a land I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?

6. _ The Last Tango
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
Last tango of the night
Last song of love
Sand melodies take flight
Crying to the heavens above
Don't be afraid, my dear
You're safe with me
I've made a whole career
Out of being who men want me to be
Tonight I'll make your dreams come true
But don't confuse this fire with romance
For I will not remember you
You are just another tango to dance
Now watch the city burn
Here in my eyes
Down here you live and learn
Ask no questions and you hear no lies
Echoes of long ago
Still run through my veins
I had some dreams, you know
true
But don't confuse the fire with romance
For I will not remember you
You are just another tango to dance
And there'll always be a tango to dance
For a few pesetas, I'll take you
To paradise
Just a few pesetas can take you
A few pesetas more takes you twice
Tonight I'll make your dreams come true
But don't confuse the fire with romance
For I will not remember you
You are just another tango to dance
And there'll always be a tango to dance

7. _ The Children of Eve
Lyrics: Jack Murphy/Linda Eder
Don't cry...You had a bad dream, that's all
Don't cry...Now it's all gone
Don't cry...They're just shadows on the wall
Don't cry...They always move on
All the children of Eve sleeping somewhere tonight
Dream of days when the shadows are gone
All the children of Eve say a prayer every night
Praying there'll be no dragons at dawn
One child...Learning to take the fall
One child...Living in war
No child...Just shadows on the wall
One child...And millions more
Not all children of Eve sleep in peace every night
Not all nightmares are over at dawn
When the children of Eve become dragons and fight
Then the whole vicious circle rolls on But all that matters now
Is finding some way somehow
To leave this winter far behind
I swear...
I'm scared of the shadows too
One day...
I'll try and be there for you
Till there are no dragons in that sky
All the children of Eve sleeping somewhere tonight
Dream of days when the shadows are gone
All the children of Eve say a prayer every night
Praying there'll be no dragons at dawn

8. _ Unusual Way
Lyrics: Maury Yeston
In a very unusual way
One time I needed you
Ina very unusual way
You were my friend
Maybe it lasted a day
Maybe it lasted an hour
But somehow it will never end
In a very unusual way
I think I'm in love with you
In a very unusual way
I want to cry
Something inside me goes weak
Something inside me surrenders
me
You don't have a clue
You can't tell what it's like to be me looking at you
It scares me so that I can hardly speak
In a very unusual way
I owe what I am to you
Thought at times it appears I won't stay
How could I ever forget you
Once you had touched my soul
In a very unusual way
You made me whole

9. _ When Autumn Comes
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
When autumn comes and leaves obey
I think of you when spring was new
And fall was miles away
And when I close my eyes I see you
And I don't feel the chill
When autumn comes...it's summer still
When autumn comes and wild geese fly
I wonder do you see them too
Across the restless sky
And does October catch you dreaming
Of Central Park in June
Or is love lost beneath the frost
Of autumn's moon Summers by the sea
When the sun would linger till the moon was high
Days of you and me
Underneath a sheltering sky
Did we move too fast for the glow of love to last
When autumn comes and summer goes
I will remember through November
What September knows
That nothing lasts forever and
Summer love moves on
So when the leaves begin to change
I find it sad but never strange
That you are all I can recall
When autumn comes

10. _ Don't Ask Me Why
Lyrics: Jack Murphy/Linda Eder
There are those who manage such a charmed existence
Lucky ladies who've been fortunate since birth
All the major domos know them
And obligingly will show them
Straight to the only table left on earth
These are people for whom life is not a challenge
They've got savoir faire that oozes pedigree
They're the women men will die for
And millionaires will buy for
But I fear these ladies aren't me...
The cake life served me
is upside down
The soup du jour I'm having spills
On my best gown
I get all wet
Each time I surf the net, yet
Baby, don't ask me why
It always rains on
My one day off
And my blind date turned into
Boris Karloff
It's lie a curse
I go from bad to worse but
Baby, don't ask me why
Funny...
Down at the IRS
I get the guy who never says "yes"
God, what a mess
It's all so taxing
Maybe...
Life is a cosmic gaff
Fashioning punch lines into a laugh
Too cute by half
I don't know, don't ask me And then I saw you
That rainy day...
Drenched to the bone and all alone
What can I say
When you are near
My motor hits high gear, dear
No clue, don't ask me why
Maybe...
This is the perfect deal
This time the schmo has found her schlemiel
Now maybe we'll
Find that happy ending
Maybe...
You are the missing cog
Maybe the princess lost in the fog
Kiss the one frog
Who was worth befriending
The world will go on
Much as before
I'll lose the keys right after
You lock the door
It seems to me
That we were meant to be, see
We've got compatibility
You're the pie and I'm the face
You're the shoe tripping on my lace
You're the yin and I'm the yang
You're the lemon and I'm meringue
You're the fourth of my July
Together we'll blow sky high, and
we'll never say good-bye...but
Baby, don't ask me why
Why don't elephants fly?
Why are high heels so high?
Why is Ru Paul a guy?
Baby, don't ask me why

11. _ Man of La Mancha (I Don Quixote)
Lyrics: Joe Darion
Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be
And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled
Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
Destroyer of evil am I
I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory
Forever to conquer or die Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin
All your dastardly doings are past
For a holy endeavor is now to begin
And virtue shall triumph at last!
I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha
My destiny calls and I go
And the wild winds of fortune will carry me onward
Oh whither so ever they blow
Whither so ever they blow
Onward to Glory I go

12. _ Something To Believe In
Lyrics: Frank Wildhorn
Everybody's searching for answers
Everybody tries to find some meaning in their life
Where do we belong
Who will be our shelter
Looking for salvation
A haven from the storm
We all need something to believe in
We all need a light to see us through
We all need something to believe in
nowhere
Tossing in the raging waters tryin' to find my way home
You must be an angel watchin' over me
Your lovin' arms my harbor
Now I know I'm not alone
We all need something to believe in
We all need a light to see us through
We all need something to believe in
I found something to believe in you

13. _ It's Time
Music: Frank Wildhorn
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
It's time to hold my hand
And take a chance
It's time to pay the band
And start the dance
We hear the melody
We know the song
It's time, I think
We're on the brink
Of waiting too long
Why not believe our eyes
And cross our hearts
Dispense with alibis
Enough false starts
It's time to put away
Our childish things
And time to trust
In us...and what tomorrow brings
It's time to risk it all
And shoot the moon
So just let go and fall
It's not too soon
Before the clock strikes one more chime
Let's see if we can move love off this dime
'Cause when we kiss we both can see
It's time It's getting too late
For a lengthy debate
So let's go for the win
Let's give forever a shove
So that love can begin
It's time to let it ride
'Cause time won't wait
If luck is on our side
It's not too late
Before we stumble past our prime
I know together we can make this climb
'Cause I believe for you and me...
It's time

14. _ I Want More
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
Day in and out what my life's all about
Are the things that you find far too boring
Washing and cooking and staying good-looking
While you get to do the ignoring
Will it ever be my turn to say where we're going?
Will it ever be my life that we're planning for?
I've been living this way for so long without growing
I want more
I need attention not mere condescension
But you just don't get the distinction
Pushing and shoving does not equal loving
Which seems on the brink of extinction
What became of the prince who was oh, so disarming?
What became of the sweet man at my beck-and-call?
Could it be that Prince Charming turned out not so
Charming
After all?
I want magic carpets, I want true romance
I want moonlight cruises to the South of France
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more full-filling
I want equal billing
I want champagne chilling at the door
So, in short, I'm saying if you want me
I want more!
When did the me that I so long to be
Lose her natural sense of direction?
When did the you that I'm turning into
Get a trifle too tense for affection?
Can we ever get over
This thing about winning?
Can we ever recapture a moment that's past?
If we simply begin with a brand new beginning
Will it last? I want Shakespeare sonnets, I want oohs and aahhs
I want long-stem roses in a Gucci vase
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more relating
I want less debating
I want all that I've been waiting for
So, in case you're listening, if you want me
I want more!
I want to fly through that storybook sky
Where two people in love always travel
I want to be like some deep mystery
That you simply can't wait to unravel
I want to soar ten feet off the floor
When you walk through the door
Like I used to before...
I want magic carpets, I want true romance
I want moonlight cruises to the South of France
And I want kisses that go on for days
I want more than this is in so many ways
I want more full-filling
I want equal billing
I want champagne chilling at the door
So, in short, I'm saying if you want me
Give me more relating
Give me less debating
Give me all those things I'm waiting for
So, in case you're listening, if you want me
Really want me, if you want me...
I want more!

15. _ Candle in the Window
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
Hurry through the night
Past the shuttered houses
Towards a solitary light
Burning in the window
Near a figure in a chair
Always sitting there
Quiet as a prayer
Does he close his eyes?
Weary with the weight of being
Suddenly so wise
Tired of the demons
He must sit up there and fight
Deep into the night
Praying that he's right?
Every evening I can see his shadow on the shade
And I don't feel so alone or so afraid
There's a candle in the window every night
Reflecting all our hopes and dreams
Or so it seems to me as I look up to see
That candle in the window every night
Burning like the yearning to be free
Far away and dim
Kept alive by him
Seven blocks away
Before I go to bed I fall down
On my knees and pray
That he will keep his candle burning
Just a moment more
Till he finds a way
That is what I pray
And I wonder does he see me passing by each night
As I look up to find his patch of light?
There's a candle in the window every night
Reflecting all our hopes and dreams
Or so it seems to me as I look up to see
That candle burning in the window shining bright
Far away and dim
Kept alive by him
Towards a solitary light

16. _ I Don't Know How to Say Goodbye
Lyrics: Jack Murphy
The leaves must turn
The wind must blow
The heart must learn
When it's time for the heart to let go
But when I think of you
My heart knows why
I don't know how to say goodbye
The world moves on
With no regret
And though you're gone
There are feelings I'll never forget
So I remember you
And though I try
I don't know how to say goodbye The house we used to share
Still looks as if you're there
And I won't change a single thing
Not even the wedding ring I wear
The evenings fall
Much harder now
The stars grow small
And the moon seems so different somehow
But every time I think of you
The moon and I
Know you're the only reason why
I don't know how to say goodbye
