Someone To Watch Over Me [Dennis DeYoung]

Image
Listen on YouTube Someone To Watch Over Me Written by Ira Gershwin & George Gershwin Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung There's a saying old Says that love is blind. Still, we're often told "Seek, and you shall find." So I'm gonna seek a certain girl I have in mind. Looking everywhere Haven't found her yet. She's the big affair I cannot forget. Only one I every think of with regret. I'd like to add her initial to my monogram. Tell me who is the shepherdess to this lost lamb. There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that she turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me. I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood. I know I could always be good To one who'll watch over me. Although she may not be the girl some men think of as pretty, To my heart she carries the key. Won't you tell her please to put on some speed, Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me. Someone to watch over me.

On The Street Where You Live [Dennis DeYoung]

Listen on YouTube On The Street Where You Live Written by Nat King Cole Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung I have often walked Down the street before But the pavement always Stayed beneath my feet before All at once am I Several stories high Knowing I'm on the street where you live Oh the lilac trees In the heart of town Can you hear a lark in any other part of town ? Does enchantment pour out of every door ? No, it's just on the street where you live And oh the towering feeling Just to know somehow you are near The overpowering feeling That any second you may suddenly appear People stop and stare They don't bother me For there's no where else on earth That I would rather be Let the time go by I won't care if I Can be here on the street where you live People stop and stare They don't bother me For there's no where else on earth That I would rather be Let the time go by I won't care if I Can be here on the street where you live Let me be on the street where yo

Someone Else's Story [Dennis DeYoung]

Listen on YouTube Someone Else's Story Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Long ago In someone else's lifetime Someone with my name Who looked a lot like me Came to know A girl and made a promise She only had to say And that's where he would be Lately Although the feelings run just as deep The promise he made has grown impossible to keep And yet I wish it wasn't so Will she miss me if I go? In a way It's someone else's story I don't see myself As taking part at all Yesterday A boy that I was fond of Finally could see The writing on the wall Sadly He realized he'd left her behind And sadder than that he knew she wouldn't even mind And though there's nothing left to say Would she listen if I stay? It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never I could be choosing No choices whatsoever. I could be In someone else's story In someone else's life And she could be in mine I don't see A rea

Once Upon A Dream [Dennis DeYoung]

Listen on YouTube Once Upon A Dream Written by Leslie Bricusse Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Once upon a dream, I was lost in love's embrace. There I found a perfect place, Once upon a dream. Once there was a time Like no other time before. Hope was still an open door, Once upon a dream. And I was unafraid. The dream was so exciting, But now I see it fade, And I am here alone. Once upon a dream, You were heaven sent to me, But it wasn't meant to be. Now you're just a dream. Could we begin again, Once upon a dream?

Where I Want To Be [Dennis DeYoung]

Listen on YouTube Where I Want to Be Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Who needs a dream? Who needs ambition? Who'd be the fool In my position? Once I had dreams Now they're obsessions Hopes became needs Lovers possessions. Then they move in Oh so discreetly Slowly at first Smiling too sweetly I opened doors They walked right through them Called me their friend I hardly knew them. Now I'm where I want to be and who I want to be and doing what I always said I would and yet I feel I haven't won at all. Running for my life and never looking back in case there's someone right behind to shoot me down and say he always knew I'd fall. When the crazy wheel slows down Where will I be? Back where I started. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining Times have been good Fast, entertaining But what's the point If I'm concealing Most of my thoughts All of my feeling. Now I'm where I want to be and who I want to be and

One of these mornings, you're bound to rise up singing Then you'll spread your wings, and take to the sky But until that morning, nothing's going to harm you, no With your daddy and mama standing by.

Pilate's Dream [Dennis DeYoung]

Listen on YouTube Pilate's Dream Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung I dreamed I met a Galilean A most amazing man He had that look you very rarely find The haunting, hunted kind I asked him to say what had happened How it all began I asked again, he never said a word As if he hadn't heard And next the room was full of wild and angry men they seemed to hate this man they fell on him and then they disappeared again Then I saw thousands of millions crying for this man And then I heard them mentioning my name And leaving me the blame

Memory [Dennis DeYoung]

Listen on YouTube Memory Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Don Black Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Midnight, not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory She is smiling alone In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every streetlamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters and a streetlamp shutters And soon it will be morning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt-out ends of smoky days The stale, cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies Another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, it's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is Look a new da

Bring him peace Bring him joy He is young He is only a boy You can take You can give Let him be Let him live If I die Let me die Let him live Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home.
