I've dreamed of you
Always feeling you were there.
And all my life
I have searched for you everywhere.
I caught your smile in the morning sun
I heard your whisper on the breeze at night.
I prayed one day
That your arms would hold me tight.
And just when I
Thought love had passed me by
We met.
That first look in your eyes I can't forget.
You melted me with your tender touch.
I felt all fear and sorrow slip away.
Now here we stand
Hand in hand
This blessed day.

I promise you
As I give to you my heart
That nothing in this world
Shall keep us apart.
Come happily ever after be
The man I'll love until the very end.
I've dreamed of you
My great love and my best friend.

For God must know
How I love you so.
He's blessed us here today as man and wife.
Come dream with me
As I've dreamed of you
All my life.
Come dream with me
As I have dreamed of you
All my life.

. . .


It's a funny thing.
I look at you.
I get a thrill
I never knew.
Isn't it a pity
We never met before?
Here we are at last.
It's like a dream.
The two of us
A perfect team.
Isn't it a pity
We never met before?

Imagine all the lonely years we've wasted.
Me with the neighbors.
You at silly labors.
What joys untasted.
My nights were sour,
Spent with Schopenhauer

Let's forget the past.
Let's both agree
That I'm for you
And you're for me.
And it's such a pity
We never, never met before.

Imagine all the years we've wasted.
Fishing for salmon
Losing at backgammon.
What joys untasted.
Me at the Prado,
You in Colorado.

Happiest of girls I'm sure to be
If only you would say to me
That it's such a pity
We never met before.
What an awful pity
We never, never met before.

. . .


Make believe we've landed
On a desert Island.
Bathe me in the waters,
Warm me in the moonlight,
Taste me with your kisses,
Find my secret places,
Touch me 'till I tremble,
Free my wings for flying
And catch me while I'm falling.
Keep your arms around me
Like there's no tomorrow.
Let me know you love me.
On our little Island
Not a soul can see us.
Show me how to love you.
Teach me how to please you.
Lay your dreams beside me.
Only stars will listen
To our cries and whispers.
You were made to love me
And I was made to love you.
Keep your arms around me
Lose yourself inside me.
Make it last forever.

I can see the Island
Shining in the distance.
Now we're getting closer.
Keep your arms around me.
Oh now we're almost there.

Ooooh.
On our little Island
Not a soul can hear us.
Silently exchanging
Fantasies and feelings.
Endlessly exploring
Learning one another
'Till the morning finds us.
You were made to love me
And I was made to love you.
Keep your arms around me,
Lose yourself completely,
Make it last forever.

I can see the Island
Shining there before us.
Now we're getting closer
Just keep your arms around me.
Come my love...
We're there.

. . .


I look at you and there it is.
The ultimate in where it is
And realize how rare it is
This finding your love.
You try so many arms
When you are lonely.
To find the one and only.
One day you turn and he's there.
Amazing how serene it is.
The shade of evergreen, it is.
Exactly what we mean, it is.
And knew it would be.
When love like ours arrives
We guard it with our lives.
Whatever goes astray
When a rainy day comes around
A love like ours will keep us safe and sound.
[Humming]

When love like ours arrives
We guard it with our lives.
Whatever goes astray
What rainy day comes around
Love like ours will keep us safe and sound.

. . .


When I fall, you're my place to land,
I lose my touch, you're my hands,
The one I hold on to
If you ever run out of reasons to try
I love enough for both you and I
I'll be the one, you can run to

Bridge:
I'd rather go through, any pain love puts us through,
Than to spend one day without you be my side

Chrous:
If you ever leave me,
Will you take me with you
If you're ever lonely,
I wanna be lonely too
My home's beside you,
No matter where you may go
My love's inside you,
Even more than you know

In a world of anger and lies
I find peace in your eyes
A flame in the darkness
And thru all space and time
Till every star refuses to shine
You know where my heart is

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus

And I can't remember life without you,
The way it used to be
Feels like a million years away
But hold me till the angels sing
Tell me every little thing
Promise me forever,
From this day

Repeat Chrous

Even more that you know (x4)

Some folks got nothin' but troubles
So little joy in their lives.
But wherever we go
Happiness follows.
We must be lovin' right.
It might be the way I adore you.
Or the way that you hold me tight.
I don't know the reason
But I'm believin'
We must be lovin' right
All of our friends say
Love fades away with time.
But I know they're wrong


'cause they've never known
A love like yours and mine.
So if the whole world goes crazy
Let everyone else fuss and fight.
When all's said and done
We'll be the lucky ones.
We must be lovin' right.
Some folks got nothin' but troubles.
Oh so little joy in their lives.
But wherever we go
Happiness follows.
We must be lovin' right.
We must be lovin' right.

If I Never Met You
Barbra Streisand

If I never met you
If I never saw your face
This world, this world would be a colder place, I bet.
If we'd never met...

If I never met you
If I never knew your love
My life, my life might be a sad song of regret.
If we'd never met...

But we said one "Hello."
And look at how the world begins to spin
Look at how the shadows disappear
Now that you are here.

If I never met you
If I never felt your kiss
My days, my nights would not be filled like this, it's true.
I don't know who I'd love
I don't know what I'd do if I never met you.

Just look at how the shadows disappear
Now that you are here.
If I never met you
If I never felt your kiss
My days, my nights would be filled like this, it's true.
I don't know who I'd love
I don't know what I'd do
If I never met you.

I don't know who I'd love
I don't know what I'd do
If I never met you.

"We Must Be Loving Right"

Some folks got nothin' but troubles
So little joy in their lives.
But wherever we go
Happiness follows.
We must be lovin' right.

It might be the way I adore you.
Or the way that you hold me tight.
I don't know the reason
But I'm believin'
We must be lovin' right

All of our friends say
Love fades away with time.
But I know they're wrong
'Cause they've never known
A love like yours and mine.

So if the whole world goes crazy
Let everyone else fuss and fight.
When all's said and done
We'll be the lucky ones.
We must be lovin' right.

Some folks got nothin' but troubles.
Oh so little joy in their lives.
But wherever we go
Happiness follows.
We must be lovin' right.
We must be lovin' right.

It must be you.
Making me feel things I can't explain.
For some reason I'm just laughing at the rain.
I can't believe who I am has changed to suddenly.
I'm doing things I never thought I'd do.
This is not like me.
It must be you.
It's must be love.
Nothing else could turn me upside down.
Or plant my feet so firmly on the ground.
What's happening?
Everything I say
I wanna sing.
Everything I've dreamed is coming true.
What's this feeling in my heart?
It must be you.

Hold me now like this forever
Let this moment go on endlessly.
I'm alive when you're beside me.
That's how I know that we were meant to be.
Ooooh.

What's happening?
Everything I say I want to sing.
Everything I've dreamed is coming true.
What's this feeling in my heart?
It must be you.
It must be you.

. . .


At last my heart is ready.
This time I can believe
That love has truly found me.
How sweetly love surrounds me.
You're like a glimpse of heaven,
A blessing I've received.
I'll give you my tomorrows.
But even now I can see...
Just one lifetime
Won't be enough time for us.
We need more
For all this love.
Just one lifetime
Can't be enough time for us.
We need more
For all this love.

What you have given to me
Is better but a dream.
There's no need for pretending
You're my happy ending.
So I will hold you closer
With all the love in me
And wish we had forever
For even now I can see...

Just one lifetime
Won't be enough time for us.
We need more
For all this love.
Just one lifetime
Can never be enough time.
We need more
For all this love.

I prayed my heart would lead me
To find a love somewhere.
It's taken me a lifetime
To find you waiting for me there.

Just one lifetime
Won't be enough time for us.
We need more
For all this love.
Just one lifetime
And all that's waiting for us
We want more
For all...
For all this love.

. . .


If I didn't love you
I'd be safe from harm.
I would never find myself
Lost inside your arms.
If I didn't love you
I'd never feel the pain
Of sunny days without you
Drowning in the rain.
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you
Peace would rule the day
All the dark and out would surely go away.
If I didn't love you
I wouldn't pay the cost
Of living every endless day
If our love is lost.
If I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...

And yet you make me breathless
At the way you move
I never knew that I
Could ever love the way we do.
I don't know how you reach me
In that place in my heart
Belonging to only you.

If I didn't love you
I wouldn't lose control
The danger loving brings a word
Never touch my soul.
If I didn't love you
Perhaps I wouldn't die.
If you should ever say to me
"I'm sorry, goodbye."
If I didn't love you...
How can there be music
In the way you touch?
I can't believe that somehow
I believe in you so much.
Now you've come and taught me
How to give you my heart.
And make me feel at last
That the end will never start.
You're the only reason
I'm not afraid to fall.
For if I didn't love you...
If I didn't love you...
I wouldn't love at all.

. . .


Wait before we take another breath.
We've lived another moment of our lives.
And now it's fast becoming then.
Wait before you take your lips from mine.
How quickly where we are is where we've been.
And give is given.

Once before I knew that I'd be yours
A moment didn't seem a thing at all.
Just like a penny at a fair.

Once I never dreamed there'd come a time
When time would need another day
Another week, another year with you.
Forever doesn't mean forever anymore.

Wait before we take another breath,
Before you take your lips away from mine,
And where we are is where we've been.

Oh wait...
When you're in love the way we are,
When every kiss and every touch,
And every nite is like a dream come true
It's then you realize how small forever is.
As I now I do.
That's why I treasure all the moments of my life
With you.

Trying to help, Fanny puts up $20,000 so that Nick
can become a theatrical agent, but he sees through
her ploy and it angers and humiliates him. Desperate
for money, he agrees to participate in a fraudulent
bond deal and is arrested for embezzlement.
Fanny realizes that somehow she has driven Nick to this:

I add two and two, the most simple addition,
Then swear that the figures are lying,
I'm a much better comic than mathematician
'Cause I'm better on stage than at intermission,
And as far as the man is concerned,
If I've been burned,
I haven't learned.
I know he's around when the sky and the ground start in ringing,
I know that he's near by the thunder I hear in advance,
His words--his words alone--are the words that can start my heart singing,
And his is the only music that makes me dance.

He'll sleep and he'll rise, in the light of two eyes that adore him.
Bore him it might, but he won't leave my sight for a glance.
In ev'ry way, ev'ry day, I need less of myself and need more him--more him,
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance,
'Cause his is the only music that makes me dance.
