When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water coloured memories of the way we were.
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time rewritten every line?
And if we had the chance to do it all again
tell me would we, could we?

Memories may be beautiful and yet
much too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter, we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were.
Ah ---
we simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were
the way we were

He was beautiful, beautiful to my eyes
From the moment I saw him the sun filled the sky.
He was so, so beautiful; beautiful just to hold
In my dreams he was springtime, winter was cold.
How could I tell him what I so clearly could see?
Though I longed for him another trusted me completely
so I never could be free

Ah, but it was beautiful knowing that he cared
I will always remember moments we shared.

Now it's all over still the feelings linger on
For my dream keeps returning now that he's gone.

For it was beautiful, beautiful to be loved

Where do I begin
to tell the story of how great a love can be
the sweet love story that is older than the sea
the simple truth about the love he brings to me
Where do I start?

With his first hello
he gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
there'd never be another love another time
he came into my life and made the living fine
he fills my heart

He fills my heart with very special thing
With angel songs, with wild imaginings
He fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With him along who could be lonely
I reach for his hand, it's always there.

How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours of a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say
I know I'll need him till the stars all burn away
and he'll be there.

No! Nothing at all
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good things
Nor the bad – they’re all the same to me!

No! Nothing at all
No! I regret nothing
It’s been paid for, swept away, forgotten
I don’t give a damn about the past!

My memories
I have burnt my memories
My sorrows, my pleasures
I don’t need them any more

Swept away, the love affairs
And all their tremblings
Swept away for ever
I am starting anew

No! Nothing at all
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good things
Nor the bad – they’re all the same to me!

No! Nothing at all
No! I regret nothing
For my life, for my joys
Today, they start with you!

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Old dream maker, you heart breaker
wherever you're goin' I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
waitin' round the bend, my Huckle-berry friend
Moon River and me.

Wherever you're going' goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
my Huckleberry friend, waitin' round the bend
Moon River and me

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high, no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you, until the end of time

Come what may, Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh, come what may, Come what may
I will love you, I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Come what may, come what may,
I will love you until my dying day

More than the greatest love the world has known
this is the love I'll give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day

More than you'll ever know
my arms long to hold you so
my life will be in keeping waking,
sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
but far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure
no one could love you more.

More than you'll ever know
my arms long to hold you so
my life will be in your keeping
waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping.

Longer than always is a long, long time
but far beyond forever you'll still be mine
now I know I have never lived before and my heart is very sure
no one else could love you more

Don’t leave me
We must forget
Everything can be forgotten
Which is already past
Forget the times
Of misunderstandings
And the lost time
To know how
To forget those moments
Which sometimes killed
- with constant ‘whys’ –
The heart of happiness
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

I will give you
Pearls of rain
Which have come from countries
Where it doesn’t rain
I will keep digging the earth
Until after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I will make a domain
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where love will be queen
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

Don’t leave me
I will invent for you
Crazy words
That you will understand
I will talk to you
Of those lovers
Who have twice seen
Their hearts set ablaze
I will tell you
The story of the king
Dead from not having
Been able to meet you
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

We have often seen
Spurt forth
The fire of an ancient volcano
That one thought too old
It appears that
Burnt earth
Gives more wheat
Than the best April
And when the evening comes
So that the sky blazes
Red and black
Don’t they become one?
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

Don’t leave me
I’m not going to cry any more
I’m not going to talk any more
I will hide there
Watching you
Dance and smile
Listening to you
Sing and then laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The dog at your command
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me

In the still of the night, as I gaze from my window
At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number, darling when I say to you

Do you love me as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight?
Like the moon growing dim
On the rim of the hill, in the chill
Still of the night.

Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight?

In the chill, still of night
Of night, of night, of night

The sea
That one sees dancing along the clear bays
Has silver reflections
The sea
Changing reflections
In the rain

The sea
Under the summer sky confuses
Its white horses
With angels so pure
The sea
Shepherdess of
The infinite sky

See
Near the ponds
Those tall, wet reeds
See
Those white birds
And those rusted houses

The sea
Has rocked them
Along the clear bays
And with a love song
The sea
Has rocked my heart for ever

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
and I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
and I think to myself what a wonderful world
and I think to myself what a wonderful world
