Miracle Take a look right now At the Miracle of Me We’ll never know What could have been I’m still out there singing and dancing Just watch me fancy-pantsin’ Take a look right now At the Miracle of Me Go on right ahead You can call me one tough bird I will admit That I have felt burned I’m not going down without a fight Enjoying life is my right Take a look right now At the Miracle of Me Chorus: YAY & HOORAY I’m thankful for this life! 2 X We don’t know how many days we’ve got A little prayer may sweeten the pot YAY & HOORAY I’m thankful for this life! Take a look right now At the Miracle of Me We’ll never know What could have been I’m still out there singing and dancing Just watch me fancy-pantsin’ Take a look right now At the Miracle of Me Chorus: YAY & HOORAY I’m thankful for this life! 2 X We don’t know how many days we’ve got A little prayer may sweeten the pot YAY & HOORAY I’m thankful for this life!

Peace Be Shout it to the mountain Whisper it to the sea Peace Be – Be Sing it on home Pass it on joyfully Peace Be – Be When I’ve got nothing left to give & I’ve spilled every drop from my cup When I get back to a grateful heart My fountain fills right back up Peace Be Shout it to the meadow Whisper it to the trees Peace Be –(talkin bout) Be Sing it out loud (sing it out loud) Breathe it in joyfully Peace Be – Be Nurturing the tiny light inside It’s my choice the fire I feed When we all stoke a loving flame There’s a bon fire guaranteed Peace Be

Widow’s Waltz He’d seen her around town. She used to smile at him At the Orange Hall he asked her to dance Her steps matched his time. Across the dance floor they traveled They began the Lover’s Waltz He used to say: “I never thought love could happen to me” He used to say: “You are so beautiful. My love, let’s go out dancing. We’ll waltz our worries away.” They danced in a spring meadow They danced on the back porch They danced through joy and sorrow Now she dances the Widow’s Waltz There were times when she’d pretend he’s out working There were nights when sleep would not come at all Other times she’d cuddle with their daughter teaching her the Widow’s Waltz They danced in a spring meadow They danced on the back porch They danced through joy and sorrow Dancing the Widow’s Waltz The town was shaken to the core For he never left the factory floor How could she know when he walked out the door That she would never see him anymore There are many other widows in her town like Mrs. Merle Ralston and Mrs. Frank Brown They have their luncheons, they quilt and go traveling dancing the Widow’s Waltz They dance at their children’s weddings, square dances, line dances at the Legion Hall They dance through joy and sorrow Dancing the Widow’s Waltz Dancing the Widow’s Waltz

La foule .....popularized by Edith Piaf Je revois la ville en fête et en délire Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires Qui éclatent et rebondissent autour de moi Et perdue parmi ces gens qui me bousculent Étourdie, désemparée, je reste là Quand soudain, je me retourne, il se recule, Et la foule vient me jeter entre ses bras... Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne Nous entraîne Écrasés l'un contre l'autre Nous ne formons qu'un seul corps Et le flot sans effort Nous pousse, enchaînés l'un et l'autre Et nous laisse tous deux Épanouis, enivrés et heureux. Que nadie sepa mi sufrir Entraînés par la foule qui s'élance Et qui danse Une folle farandole Nos deux mains restent soudées Et parfois soulevés Nos deux corps enlacés s'envolent Et retombent tous deux Épanouis, enivrés et heureux... No te asombres si te digo lo que fuiste un ingrato con mi pobre corazón por que el fuego de tus lindos ojos negros alumbraron el camino de otro amor y pensar que te adoraba tiernamente que a tu lado como nunca me senti y por esas cosas raras de la vida sin el beso de tu boca yo me vi 

 Amor de mis amores, amor mio que me hisiste que no puedo conformarme sin poderte contemplar ya que pagaste mal mi cariño tan sincero lo que conseguiras que no te nombre nunca mas Amor de mis amores si dejaste de quererme no hay cuidado que la gente de eso no se enterara que gano con decir que un hombre cambio mi suerte se burlaran de mi que nadie sepa mi sufrir

Chocolate & a Bubble Bath You’re like chocolate & a bubble bath Allow me to indulge myself I’ll put aside my many tasks And escape for a moment with you I’m getting older I’m getting more playful too I am much wiser You know it’s true I like to live the simple life Simple is high quality & I am more discerning with my company You’re like chocolate & a bubble bath Allow me to indulge myself I’ll put aside my many tasks And escape for a moment with you You’re getting older You’re getting more playful too You are much wiser You know it’s true So throw away all your regrets Sit back & watch the sun set Tender memories keep Looking back is sweet You’re like chocolate & a bubble bath Allow me to indulge myself I’ll put aside my many tasks And escape for a moment with you Take a break, take a break, to escape The rat race, the big chase, in any case I agree, you & me, can’t you see, we are free to celebrate what is great, don’t hesitate to refrain from the lame, the mundane In my game you’re the flame You’re chocolata bubble bath You’re like chocolate & a bubble bath Allow me to indulge myself I’ll put aside my many tasks And escape for a moment with you

I still have something Let’s say you lose your hands and you lose your knees and you lose your face Can you accept yourself? Let’s say you lose your job and you lose your art and you lose your strength Can you accept yourself? We are so much more than our bodies We are so much more than what we do If I cannot be a productive member of society I still have something, deep down I know I do I’m lying in my bed There’s nothing else to do Just me inside my head ……… Let go of all my goals Let go of all my plans Let it go and try to accept myself We are so much more than our bodies We are so much more than what we do If I cannot be a productive member of society I still have something, deep down I know I do The only reason is: to give and receive love The only purpose is: to give and receive love We are so much more than our bodies We are so much more than what we do If I cannot be a productive member of society I still have something, deep down I know I do I still have something, deep down I know I do

I already told you I already told you I already told you You’ve been acting so friendly And I’ve been craving intimacy But I don’t want to be a fool And I don’t know if I can trust you I already told you I’m not ready to love you I already told you This is as far as it goes Where were your ears the other day When I had something important to say I thought that I could talk to you Now I know it went straight through cause I already told you I’m not ready to love you I already told you This is as far as it goes What keeps you coming round my door Am I a friend or am I just a score Subtlety is not your forte And I don’t want to see you today I already told you I’m not ready to love you I already told you This is as far as it goes

Lychee Martini Lychee martini Lychee martini, please Lychee martini I’ll have another one of these I know what I want I want a lychee martini Les gens passent leur temps aux loisirs Moi, Je prefere chercher le plaisir Viens tout pres de moi, fais-moi sourire La vie est courte, tu-trouves pas? Lychee martini Lychee martini, please Lychee martini I’ll have another one of these I know what I want I want a lychee martini J’ai envie de suivre ma passion Je vais faire un voyage vers l’ocean De m’en fuir de toute l’agitation La vie est belle tu-trouves pas? If only for a day Come with me and play A wee get-a-way Life is not what it seems Get out of routine Take some time to dream What is your fantasy? Why not make it a Re-ality? There is no time to lose You just have to choose Let go of the ruse Lychee martini Lychee martini, please Lychee martini I’ll have another one of these I know what I want I want a lychee martini
