Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free, and beauty surronds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
Cause you're born free

Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Life seems
One big puzzle
Sometimes
I come to the end of me
Some men will always fight
Until they're falling
And crawling
And the chase goes on

Don't know
Where I'm running
Just know
I was born to run the race

The world is tough if you
Just sit and grumble
You crumble
And the chase goes on

I love my love with an "L" that stands for longing
An "L" that once stood for loneliness now stands for lovers lane
And the lake we came to often
And the light through the tress of the moon on the lake and the laughter

In the long long hours that my love is left all alone to sing its song in
I love my love with an "L" that stands for longing

I love my love with an "O" for overpowering
An "O" that once stood for out of bounds now is the overture
Of romantic times and places
For our love seems to be like a tree growing in an oasis

And the sun breaks through and the trees will bloom, the blossoms all start flowering
I love my love with an "O" for overpowering

I love my love with a "V" for very dearly
A "V" that once stood for all in vain now stands for valentine
In a world that's vastly sweeter
For her kiss verifies all the joy in her eyes when I meet her

Life begins anew, it's a differwent view not a vision seen unclearly
I love my love with a "V" for very dearly

I love my love with an "E" for every minute
An "E" that once stood for emptiness now stands for everywhere
That we've ever been together
And the eager embrace that's eternally ours and forever

For a romance will make your life stand still from the moment you begin it
I love my love with an "E" for every minute
I love my love with an "L" for longing, overpowering, very dearly, "E" for every minute of the day
And my love loves me in exactly the same sort of way

There will be violins playing
Softly, somewhere, won't there?
I shall be flying through rainbows
Though I can't fly, shan't I?
And when he lowers his lips
To kiss me, surely
The world will be lost from view
How much of the dream comes true?
He'll be the prince
Out of every childhood story, surely
His arms could crush me
But he will hold me gently, won't he?
And as the dawn slowly opens one eye,
Won't I find life wonderful and new?
How much of the dream comes true?
How much of the dream comes true?

Rome, the city of secrets
every lover has shared.
Narrow streets lead to archways
and thoughts of people who cared.

Pictures painted in sunlight,
happy memories of one night.
Secrets whispered in a fountains spray

Step by step we go walking
where those lovers have gone.
Can you still hear them talking
of times they wandered alone?

Some were gay and lighthearted,
others cried when they parted.
Carved initials in the stone,
echoes of a tender song,
the secrets, the secrets of Rome

Every kiss and every tear,
they are all remembered here,
the secrets, the secrets of Rome.

Sophia Loren sings The Secrets Of Rome

He's tall and he's dark
And like a shark he looks for trouble
That's why the zero's double
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla
The gentleman's a killer
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past
Like a knife he cuts through life
Like ev'ry day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em
A pity if it grieves 'em
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.

[No, he's no fool
He's no fool
He is no fool.]

He always runs while others walk
He acts while other men just talk
He looks at this world and wants it all
So he strikes like Thunderball.

He knows the meaning of success
His needs are more so he gives less
They call him the winner who takes all
And he strikes like Thunderball.

Any woman he wants he'll get
He will break any heart without regret.

His days of asking are all gone
His fight goes on and on and on
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like Thunderball.

You can say you love her
when planning your attack.
But don't let her catch you
That's the Knack

When you play the lover
and scratch her pretty back,
don't let her scratch you, boy
That's the Knack

A man chases lots of girls
and maybe catches one or two
But when you've got the Knack
the girls chase you

When you need a woman,
there's plenty in the pack.
But when they need you, boy
that's the Knack.

A man chases lots of girls
and maybe catches one or two
But when you've got the Knack
the girls chase you

When you need a woman
there's plenty in the pack
But when they need you, boy

Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

He loves only gold. Only gold
He loves gold. He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

Darling, hold me close to you
There aint a thing that they can do
It's legal
It's legal

When you look at me that way
It's dangerous but strange to say
It's legal
It's legal

I won't be wicked again
I'll never be bad no more
Just think of the things that we can do
Without even breaking the law

Oh darling, love me, never fear
We're definitely in the clear
It's legal
It's legal

I won't be wicked again
I'll never be bad no more
Just think of the things that we can do
Without even breaking the law

Oh darling, love me, never fear
We're definitely in the clear
It's legal
It's legal
