Dreams -
You seem so far away
Shadows of yesterday
haunt my life

Dreams -
I can't recall their names
I thought they'd never change
Some dreams never die

Still they part...
We choose to turn the page
Sometimes they lose their way
From our hearts.

Dreams -
They say they don't come true
But my heart remembers you
Some dreams never die

You'll come back in the night..
You'll come back in the night..
close your eyes..
close your eyes..

Dreams -
They say they don't come true
But my heart remembers you
Some dreams never die

You'll come back in the night..
You'll come back in the night..
Close your eyes..
Close your eyes..

Where are you? Why do you hide?
Where is that moonlight trail that leads to your side?
Just like the Moonraker goes in search of his dream of gold,
I search for love, for someone to have and hold.

I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
Felt your touch and it always seems
You love me, You love me.

Where are you? When will we meet?
Take my unfinished life and make it complete.
Just like the Moonraker knows his dream will come true someday,
I know that you are only a kiss away.
I've seen your smile in a thousand dreams,
Felt your touch and it always seems
You love me, You love me.

Will this be the song I'll be singing tomorrow?
Will the notes from some magical flute sail on into the sky?
Is this a glad song?
Makes my heart go crazy, mad song?
Or will the song turn to silence and leave us?
A passing theme disremembered to grieve us?

Will this be the song I'll be singing tomorrow?
Will the piper be paid for the tunes that he played by and by?
Is this the best rhyme?
Major minor one in one time?
Or will the tune fall from favor forever?
A yesternight's song of past times together?

Will this be the song I'll be singing tomorrow?

Down deep inside
There's a place in me I'm yearning to explore
Look in my eyes and remember wine, the music and amour

The days grow stronger and longer with every glance.
It's what Astaire and the dance were to fine romance,
as dancers dance so close, deep inside
to our dream of dreams.
Our theme of themes: romance.

Yes I'm falling. Watch me falling
Something warm is turning inside of me.
Something warm is burning inside of me.

Something warm etc.

 

Slow version:

Down deep inside
There's a place in me I'm yearning to explore
Look in my eyes and remember wine, the music and amour

The days grow stronger and longer with every glance.
It's what Astaire and the dance were to fine romance,
as dancers dance so close, deep inside
to our dream of dreams.
Our theme of themes: romance.

Yes I'm falling. Watch me falling
Something warm is turning inside of me.
Something warm is burning inside of me.

Take me with you
I'll come with you

So deep inside
to our dream of dreams.
Our theme of themes: romance.
Something warm is turning inside of me (Fade out)

Maybe someday
I will find her
Maybe someday
She will stay

Maybe someday
I'll suspect her
When our eyes will meet
We'll know for sure
That love at last
Has come our way

Maybe someday
Maybe I'll say
All the words I never said

Maybe someday
On a clear day
I'll love you forever
And we'll be together
Again

[Backing Chorus]

Maybe someday
I will find her
Maybe someday
She will stay

[Demis With Backing Chorus]

Maybe someday
I'll suspect her

[Demis]

When our eyes will meet
We'll know for sure
That love at last
Has come our way

[Backing Chorus]

Maybe someday
Maybe I'll say

[Demis]

All the words I never said

Maybe someday
On a clear day
I'll love you forever
And we'll be together
Again

Are you in there?
Can you hear me?
Are you someone I should know?

How can I tell
if you want me?
If I rang the bell
would there be welcome fire alight?
Please tell me so

Watching your eyes
they seem lonely
holding all the world at bay

Are you in there?
Can you hear me?
Every heart must live somewhere
Will mine find you in there today?

Oh
Are you in there?
Can you hear me?
Every heart must live somewhere
Will mine find you in there today?

An attempt at transcribing the lyrics of one of the 1992 songs from Billy, in the dark of the theatre. (P. Greenhill)

My Heart is Ready When You are.

You’ll be the moon and I’ll be the sky -(Liz)
Two reckless souls on a carpet ride
We’ll scan the skies till we find our star
My heart is ready when you are

You’ll wish a wish and I’ll wave a wand -(Billy)
I’ll even go way beyond, beyond
A smile from you could take me that far
My heart is ready when you are

We’re going on a wild adventure -(Both)
You think we’re crazy?
Well we’re crazy!
This world is leaving, time to take it
First we’ll take it
Then we’ll make it

I’ll fall in love with you, everyday (Both)
I’ll always mean everyword I’ll say
We’re all we need, we’re each others star
My heart is ready when you are.

Lyrics from another urecorderd song from Billy:

One man can make a difference (Liz)
It takes only one spark to illuminate the dark
One man can make a journey
And if he can describe, he can change worlds overnight
We’ve one life.
We’ve only one life
If the heart cannot sing,
if the eyes cannot see
What a waste it would be

One man can make a difference (Billy)
If that one man is me

We’ve one life, We’ve only one life (both)
If our heart’s cannot sing,
If our eyes cannot see
What a waste it would be

One man can make a difference( Billy)
And that one man is me.

Some of us belong to the stars,
And that's where paradise is,
If you're gonna get to the top,
You must make sacrifices,
If I stay here my life can only be quite good,
But if I leave I might end up with a nighthood,
You have to hob nob with all those la-di-das,
To belong to the stars,

Some of us belong to the stars
We cannot be blamed for it,
But when you are born with a gift,
It's not right to ignore it,
It's not my fault if I enjoy reading Thack'ry,
Or if I like to sip a cold Vodka Dackry,
Me tastes have always differed from ma's and pa's,
I belong to the stars!

Some of us belong the the stars,
The stars can't wait to greet me,
(STARS CAN'T WAIT TO GREET HIM)
Can you see them winking up there?
They've all come out to greet me,
(THEY'RE ALL OUT TO GREET HIM),

Look at 'em shimmering and glistening and gleaming,
The stars are glittering and sparkling and beaming,
Now I can throw away my binoculars -
..I THINK I'LL WRITE THAT DOWN...

I BELONG TO THE STARS!
I BELONG TO THE STARS!
I BELONG...
(HE BELONGS...)
I BELONG TO THE STARS!
TO THE STARS!

I missed the last rainbow
There's not one in sight
It's hard to find rainbows
At this time of night.

I missed the last rainbow
I got here too late
And in between rainbows
There's such a long wait.

My fault I know
Why am I always so slow?
I've such a long way to go
I should be gone.

If I'm to find
The world I see in my mind
Then for the sake of mankind
I'll rainbow on.

I know that I missed the last rainbow
But what if I'm wrong
What if that same rainbow
Stops further along.

And if there's a rainbow
and I'm sure there's one
I'll get on that rainbow
But I'll have to run.

I'll get on that rainbow
But I'll have to run.
