Titres

1 Closer to Your Love ♪ 3:58

There are those who fly
From the highest heights
On the wings they carry-
Searching for the high
They can never find-
Thinking love is blind.
Never mind.
They'll never see
The forest for the trees
'Til they turn to love.

Crying through the eyes
Of my own disguise-
Came to know the truth
From the lies.
So,I hope you'll understand how
I'm another kind of man now.
All I want is just to stand
Closer to your love.

CHORUS:
Don't wanna climb a mountain.
Don't wanna swim a river.
I wanna feel the fire,power,
And all I can dream of.
Don't wanna climb a mountain.
Don't wanna swim a river.
I wanna move in
closer to your love.

If you try to fly
From the highest heights
On the wings you carry-
Searching for the high
Of your own design,
You may come to find
You been blind.

So I hope you'll understand how
I'm another kind of man now.
All I want is just to stand
A little closer to your love.

Repeat chorus 5 times.

2 My Old Friend ♪ 4:29

I can recall those warm summer days.
No decisions.Child's play.
Did they slip away?
Gone forever.Gone forever.
Lost to yesterday.

CHORUS:
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend.
True until the end of time.

As I walk down streets
full of amber leaves
I see nothing's really
changed at all.
We're just older now.
Still together,still together
after all these years.

CHORUS:
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend.
True until the end of time.

CHORUS:
From the beginning you've been
Always there my old friend
True until the end of time.

3 We’re in This Love Together 3:47

4 Easy ♪ 5:26

Yesterday,you left Brazil and went
away to see the world.
Looking for a distant beach,
a different shore-a faster whirl.
Thinking that your hearts desire
Hungered for some Paris or Berlin.
Caught between the snow and the fire-
Will sweet Carioca love again?

Your superman gonna do the
super-best he can
To free the pearl.
Giving you the superness
that he can do.
Believe me,girl

That everyday your need is higher.
But love is not Chicago or L.A.
Home is where your heart's on fire
And where that restless snowbird melts away.

It's easy,easy-
Let your love ring out.
Let my loving in to stay.
It's easy,
Let your love ring out
Let my loving in today.

It's easy
Let your love ring out.
Let my loving in to stay.
Ain't it easy?
Let your love ring out.
Let my loving in to stay.

Settle down,there ain't
no need to run around.
It's really clear
That I'm the man
Who's gonna do the super-best he can
To keep you near.

Everyday your need soars higher.
Love is not Chicago or L.A.
Home is where your heart's on fire.
Can't deny this love is here to stay.

Easy,easy-
Let your love ring out.
Let my loving in to stay.
Easy-
Let your love ring out.

5 Our Love ♪ 3:53

There's a land where lovers dream,
Where poets dwell.
We can sail tomorrow.
There is always room for one
Who wishes well.

There are doubters who
will be welcome too.
When you can't afford the fare,
There's a wish to borrow.

Our love,we must never doubt it.
Our love,when you think about it.
Love like our's will live a
thousand years.

Yes,I know you've heard the story
Without end.And you're uninspired.
Still,a walk without a wish
Cannot begin,
If you wish at all,
We can conquer all-
Learn to walk and run again,
As we chase Goiath.

Repeat chorus 3 times.

6 Breakin’ Away ♪ 4:13

Look what you've done for me-
You're makin' more fun for me.
Troubadour me,destined to be
Set in my ways-stuck in my daze.

You were the butterfly,
winkin' at me-
Makin' my fires fly.
Brought me romance,
taught me to dance-
Makin' me win,makin' me grin.
Schoolin' me.

CHORUS:
Breakin' away,your love has
opened eyes that couldn't see.
Breakin' away,your beacon in the
the night discovered me.

Show me some parachutes
(Away,today,sail away)
As long as I'm here,bring me some
climbing boots.
Open the door,give me some more.

Fasten me in-loosen the pin.
Pull for me.

CHORUS:
Breakin' away,your love has opened
eyes that couldn't see.
Breakin' away,your beacon in the
night discovered me.

7 Roof Garden ♪ 6:21

CHORUS:
Does anyone wanna go
waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go
dance up on the roof?
(repeat)

On the town,
Sequins evening gown.
Climb those stairs
To that ballroom in the air
Get to poppin.'

CHORUS:

If you dare,
Dream of yesteryear.
In the air
Do a step with Fred Astaire.
Get your top hat.

CHORUS:

You can be
What you want to be
Come waltz with me
Or a hot steppin' boogie.
Funk in the pocket.

CHORUS:

No one stays
In downtown these days.
Country calls
Got us one and all.
B'fore we end
Let me reccommend
What to do
When your heart is light or blue.
Get to steppin.'

CHORUS:
Does anyone wanna go
waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go
dance up on the roof?

Round, round, round a harmony

harmony, melody-steadily

Round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round a memory

There's a melody I used to play
Counterpoint every yesterday.
Swiftly up and down I hasten and
chasten my fingers and heart to play.

Round, round, round a melody

Taking over all my reveries
Hearing passions in the melodies
Play it up and down so wearily-
Stumbling, fumbling, tumbling.

Round, round, round a melody
Harmony, melody, memory

Round, round town I follow you.
Round, round town I'm calling you.

For I know that you will be
Truly happy and content with me.
Measure me, treasure me, pleasure me.

To end the blue rondo today.

Did you say,"I've got a lot to learn?"
Well,don't think I'm trying not to learn.
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight.

Starting with,the "A,B,C of it
Right down to the "X,Y,Z" of it

high above you,
If a shooting star goes by

A thousand times across the sky

One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
Teach me tonight
