Xanadu (sung by Olivia Newton-John)
. . .



(John Farrar)

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know that I'll be kind
I'll be guiding you

Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you

From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you

Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Your destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you

(John Farrar)

She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

How can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get thru
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

(John Farrar)

[Big Band:]
Anybody blue
Anybody needin' someone too
Anyone feelin' cold
No one's there
You can hold
Don't wait to get old and gray
I'm gonna blow all the clouds away
There is nothing I would rather do

Forget about the blues tonight
Sweet thing
Forget about the rules tonight
Sweet thing
I wanna dance with you
Until the sun comes creepin' through
I wanna dance with you
I won't stop pleasin' you
Ah......

Honey for awhile
Give a girl a chance to show some style
If you got no love to spare
Tell me lies
I don't care
You better believe that I
I know wome moves that we've got to try
There is nothing I would rather do

Forget about the blues tonight
Sweet thing
Forget about the rules tonight
Sweet thing
I wanna dance with you
Until the sun comes creepin' through
I wanna dance with you
I won't stop pleasin' you
Ah......

[Rock:]
Lover I want to let you know
I won't take a back seat
Ain't willin' to let you go
I won't take a back seat
Don't wanna hear what you want
It's gotta be all my way
I'm makin' sure you stay to see
I'm really a selfish man
I've gotta get right to it
And lover tonight I'm thinkin' of me

Lover I won't take a back seat tonight
Ooo......
Lover gettin' on my two feet tonight
Ooo......
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do

Can't let anyone get to you
I won't take a back seat
Let me show you what I can do
I won't take a back seat
It ain't funny to fool with me
I'd be a bad loser
You're gettin' me mad using me
You tried puttin' a spell on me
'Cos I had a strange feelin'
You'd better get down to healin' me

Lover I won't take a back seat tonight
Ooo......
Lover gettin' on my two feet tonight
Ooo......
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do
Got some dancin' to do

(John Farrar)

A child and a fool in one
So sure I could need no one
My heart always on the run to nowhere
Now as you're holding me
My heart is reminding me
That now I could never be without you

But how can our love succeed
A miracle is what we need
And so I appeal to you

Keep me suspended in time with you
Don't let this moment die
I get a feeling when I'm with you
None of the rules apply
But I know for certain
Goodbye is a crime
So love if you need me
Suspend me in time

Wasted the time away
Holding your love at bay
Now I can't last a day without you
Your smile is a thrill to see
Your eyes hold me tenderly
They'll shine in my memory forever



. . .



(John Farrar)

No other face would take you off my mind
You're so refined
You're much too kind
I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free
'Cause I was born to
Love you for eternity

Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away

On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend

Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
Cos I'll never be far away

Fom Xanadu (E.L.O.)

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the dawn breaks across the sky
I'm alive - and the sun rises up so high
Lost in another world (far away), never another word (till today)
But what can I say? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Suddenly came the dawn (from the night), suddenly I was born (into light)
How can it be real? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive - and the world shines for me today
I'm alive - suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever (and a day), thought I could never (feel this way)
Is this really me? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive


. . .


I see the early glow, I hear you say hello
I watch the shadows fall, I don't see you at all

It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie

I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane
I hear you say goodbye, I see a tear in your eye

Chorus:
It's a lie (I don't believe it's so), it's a lie
Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

I see you slip away, into another day
There's no-one else around, I watch the sun go down

chorus

(Instrumental break)

I take the fall

I see you in a dream, you turn and start to go
I call to you once more, guess that I'm takin' the fall

chorus

Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know I was only dreaming
And now, now that you're gone, I will go on really believing
I take the fall

. . .



why do i say?
don't walk away
you'll be the way you were before
when you don't want me anymore
don't turn around
don't ever leave
a lonely road where empty days
are gathering to meet me

when you're gone..gone
how in the world can i go on?

don't walk away
all you gotta do is stay
don't walk away
all you gotta do is stay
don't walk away

don't walk away(don't walk away)
don't say goodbye(don't say goodbye)
don't turn around(don't turn around)
don't let it die(don't let it die)
when shadows fall(when shadows fall)
when the day is done(when the day is done)
all through the night(all through the night)
all of my life(all of my life)
don't walk away

is it a dream?
when will it end?
when everything we've known
is ending up all alone
where will i go?
where will i be?
the feelings that i've never shown
maybe i'll find the answer

when you're gone....gone
how in the world can i go on?

don't walk away
all you gotta do is stay
don't walk away
all you gotta do is stay
don't walk away

don't walk away(don't walk away)
don't say goodbye(don't say goodbye)
don't turn around(don't turn around)
don't let it die(don't let it die)
when shadows fall(when shadows fall)
when the day is done(when the day is done)
all through the night(all through the night)
all of my life(all of my life)
don't walk away

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
There's gonna be a party all over the world

I got a message on the radio, but where it came from I don't really know
And I heard these voices calling all over the world

Coro:
All over the world, everybody got the word
Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight

Everybody walkin' down the street, everybody movin' to the beat
They're gonna get hot down in the U.S.A. (New York, Detroit, L.A.)

We're gonna take a trip across the sea, everybody come along with me
We're gonna hit the night down in gay Pareee

Coro

(Trozo instrumental)

London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio, Hong Kong, Tokyo
L.A., New York, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Shard End and

Coro

Everybody all around the world, gotta tell you what I just heard
Everybody walkin' down the street, I know a place where we all can meet
Everybody gonna have a good time, everybody will shine till the daylight

Coro

All over the world, everybody got the word (repite 3 veces)

(Jeff Lynne)

A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu

And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world and you're here with me
Eternally

Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu

Xanadu your neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu

The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know, they are in Xanadu

The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu

A million lights are dancing and there you are
A shooting star, an everlasting world and you're
Here with me eternally

Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here)
In Xanadu

Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu
