Who can I turn to
When nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know,
And so I must go
Where destiny leads me.

With no star to guide me,
And no one beside me,
I'll go on my way
And, after the day,
The darkness will hide me.

And maybe tomorrow,
I'll find what I'm after.
I'll throw off my sorrow,
Beg, steal, or borrow
My share of laughter.

With you I could learn to,

Before you half remember what her smile was like,
Before you half recall the day you found her...

Kiss her now,
While she's young,
Kiss her now,
While she's yours,
Kiss her now,
While she needs your arms around her.

For if you let a moment come between you now,
It soon becomes a day, a year, a lifetime.

Blink your eye,
Turn your head,
And you've lost her.

Summer has come and passed,
The innocence can never last.
Wake me up when September ends.

Like my father's come to pass,
Twenty years has gone so fast...
Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,
Falling from the stars,
Drenched in my pain again,
Becoming who we are.

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost...
Wake me up when September ( Read more... )

Perfectly captures the attitude of the middle-aged success story who wonders if it was all really worth it...

You're either a poet
Or you're a lover
Or you're the famous
Benjamin Stone.
You take one road,
You try one door,
There isn't time for any more.
One's life consists of either/or.
One has regrets
Which one forgets,
And as the years go on...

The road you ( Read more... )

Too late now
To forget your smile,
The way we cling
When we've danced awhile.
Too late now
To forget and go on
To someone new.

Too late now
To forget your voice,
The way one word
Makes my heart rejoice,
Too late now
To imagine myself
Away from you.

All the things we've done together,
I relive when we're apart,
All the tender fun together
Stays on in my heart.

Sang this at Mitch's parents' 50th anniversary celebration last night. Felt good riding the crest of the melody. I think it's been 10 years since I've sang in public (not including karaoke on the cruises).

It only
Takes a moment
For your eyes to meet
And then,
Your heart knows
In a moment,
You will never be
Alone again.

I held her
For an instant,
But my arms

Lights are bright,
Pianos making music all the night,
And they pour champagne
Just like it was rain --
It's a sight to see,
But I wonder what became of me...

Crowds go by
The merry-making laughter in their eyes,
And the laughter's fine,
But I wonder what became of mine.

Life's sweet as honey,
And yet it's funny --
I get a feeling that I can't analyze.
It's like ( Read more... )

English lyrcis to one of the swooniest cinematic tunes ever composed. The sense of longing is tangible even without the words.

If it takes forever,
I will wait for you.
For a thousand summers,
I will wait for you.
Till you're back beside me,
Till I'm holding you,
Till I hear you sigh,
Here in my arms.

Anywhere you wander,
Anywhere you go,
Everyday remember
How ( Read more... )

Before I gaze at you again,
I'll need a time for tears.
Before I gaze at you again,
Let hours turn to years.

I have so much
Forgetting to do
Before I try
To gaze again at you.

Stay away until you cross my mind
Barely once a day.
Stay away until I wake and find
That I can smile and say:

That I shall gaze at you again
Without a blush or qualm,
My eyes will shine ( Read more... )

This is a man who thinks with his heart,
His heart is not always wise.
This is a man who stumbles and falls,
But this is a man who tries.
This is a man you'll forgive and forgive,
And help protect, as long as you live...

He will not always say
What you would have him say,
But now and then he'll say
Something wonderful.

The thoughtless things he'll do
Will ( Read more... )
