Here It Comes Again Composer(s): J.B. Mason; Leslie Reed Performer(s): The Fortunes
When I see that girl go walking by I know a boy shouldn't cry Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again
When I see her look into his eyes No matter how I try Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again
I find I'm cry-y-y-y-in over you I know it's nothing to do-o-o-o- Now I'm on my own, I walk alone A heart without a home Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again
When love walked out a fire went out inside of me It wouldn't hide those tears inside of me
Then there's nothing left for me to say You no, you no, you no you broke my heart Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again
I find I'm cry-y-y-y-in over you I know it's nothing to do-o-o-o- I know it's not the thing to do
Now I'm on my own, I walk alone A heart without a home Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again Here it comes again, that feeling Here it comes again

Composer(s): Lesley Duncan
First release by: Lesley Duncan - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists

1973 - Kärlekssång (by Sylvia Vrethammar)
1976 - Canción De Amor (by Miguel Gallardo)
The words I have to say May well be simple but they're true Until you give your love There's nothing more that we can do
Love is the opening door Love is what we came here for No-one could offer you more Do you know what I mean Have your eyes really seen
You say it's very hard To leave behind the life we knew But there's no other way And now it's really up to you
Love is the key we must turn Truth is the flame we must burn Freedom the lesson we must learn Do you know what I mean? Have your eyes really seen?
Here Is My Heart Composer(s): Paul Barry; Lionel Richie; Mark Taylor Performer(s): Lionel Richie
Here is my heart you can take it
There's a time in your life for believing That impossible dream in your heart When you find in one magical moment The one you search for from the start On a night like tonight when you're holding me I can see in your eyes it's you I've dreamed of
Here is my heart you can take it Love so strong, can't be wrong Here is my heart please don't break it Come what may, here I'll stay Here is my heart, only for you
If I gave you the keys of a kingdom If I dressed you in diamonds and pearls It could never compare to the feeling We have together, right now On a night like tonight, you're everything For once in my life it feels like heaven
Here is my heart you can take it Love so strong, can't be wrong Here is my heart please don't break it Come what may, here I'll stay Here is my heart, only for you Here is my heart, now and forever yours
Making love under the stars Paradise is where we are Living it up will never stop Dancing together Round and round and round we go Feel the rhythm in your soul Nothing is going to stop us When we're dancing together All night long, forever
Here is my heart you can take it Here is my heart please don't break it Here is my heart you can take it Love so strong, can't be wrong Here is my heart please don't break it Come what may, here I'll stay Here is my heart Here is my heart come on and take it Come on and take it Please don't break it, don't break it girl Here is my heart

You don't see many shadows here in the city Only picturesque windows, all covered and dirty Black and grey that once was new Yesterday that once was you No I can't find my shadow in the city
We got canyons of smoke and steel-blue horizons Our castles explode as the city lays dying History that once was new Memories that once were true No I can't find my shadow in the city
And oh, for the green green hills of home For the hills I used to roam so many years ago Oh, for the love that's now grown cold For the love that's now grown old as the hills I used to know
You don't find many lovers here in the jungle Only magazine covers designed for the humble Cold caress that burns and slides Emptiness that's hard to hide Used to be I knew my mind but I can't find my shadow in the city
If My World Stopped Turning Composer(s): Bryan McFadden - Jonathan Shorten First performance by: Chris Doran - 2004
I can see my future When I'm looking in your eyes And I can sense security Just by you bein' in my life
I hear a voice inside my head Say you're an angel in disguise Without you I feel hopeless Without you I'm deprived
I wish I could describe it All the love I feel inside Maybe I can find the words That will make you realise
My life seems near perfect When I've got you in my arms 'Cause that's when I feel wholesome That's when I'm with you
And if my world stopped turning in the morning And if God should take this all away If it all should stop without a warning Then I would still stand tall 'Cause behind it all You're the one who's made a winner out of me
All day I long to touch you And it comes as a surprise That we spent so long apart Even more than I survived
Now, if I'm speaking frankly There's only one thing I can say It's that I'm fallin' for you, baby Fallin' further every day
And if my world stopped turning in the morning And if God should take this all away If it all should stop without a warning Then I would still stand tall 'Cause behind it all You're the one who's made a winner out of me
(If my world stopped) turning in the morning In the morning (And if God) should take this all away If it all should stop without a warning Then I would still stand tall 'Cause behind it all You're the one who's made a winner out of me
Here In My Heart Composer(s): Pat Genaro; Lou Levinson; Bill Borrelli Performer(s): Al Martino; and various other artists
Here in my heart I'm alone, I'm so lonely Here in my heart I just yearn for you only Here in my arms I long to hold you Hold you so near, ever close to my heart So, darling
Say that you care, take these arms I give gladly Surely you know I need your love so badly Here is my heart, my life, and my all, dear Please be mine and stay here in my heart
Say that you care, take these arms I give gladly Surely you know I need your love so badly Here is my heart, my life, and my all, dear Please be mine and stay here in my heart
St. Elmo's Fire Composer(s): Brian Eno First release by: Brian Eno - 1975
Brown Eyes and I were tired We had walked and we had scrambled Through the moors and through the briars Through the endless blue meanders In the blue August moon In the cool August moon
Over the nights and through the fires We went surging down the wires Through the towns and on the highways Through the storms in all their thundering In the blue August moon In the cool August moon
Well we rested in a desert Where the bones were white as teeth, sir And we saw St. Elmo's Fire Splitting ions in the ether In the blue August moon In the cool August moon

I still miss you and it makes me feel blue And I'm lost without those colours of you I can't think straight, I just wanna be Wherever you are when you're not here with me
Blend with my blue, those colours of you Please help me see it through, oh... This journey I must take alone So just blend your colours with my blue
I lay down and cry, and the rivers are dry Oh... to unveil my heart when you kiss me goodbye And when you set sail, fair winds all the way So farewell, that's all I can say
Mmm... blend with my blue, the colours of you Oh... please help me see it through, oh... This journey I must take alone Oh... so just blend your colours with my blue
And I know I'll find my love tonight I can feel you reachin' out I got this feeling deep inside It's in my head, it's in my heart
I know your love tonight And I know you'll be by my side I know you'll help me to see it through Oh... blend your colours with my blue
Here I Am Composer(s): Sylvia Merle Green Performer(s): The Hoppers
On that resurrection morning
when the redeemed are gath'ring in I'll be in that royal number, when they call my name When they all join in and sing, "Alleluia to the King!" I'll cry with a joyful sound, "Lord, here I am"
Chorus: Here I am, here I am! I'm the one the Shepherd left the fold and found There were ninety and nine, but He left the fold to find One little lost lamb, and here I am
When old Gabriel blows the trumpet, and we rise up in the air In less time than a split second, we'll be changed from here to there Where there'll be no grief or pain, perfect peace and joy shall reign Home at last I shall proclaim, "Lord, here I am"
St. Bridget Composer(s): Jerry Herman Performer(s): Jerry Herman; Frankie Michaels
Agnes Gooch: Saint Bridget, deliver us to Beekman Place Away from the wicked and depraved A gray head is peeping through the curtain lace Calling "Come ye inside, where you'll be saved" She's baked him a cherry pie and glazed a ham Her dear arms reach out for his embrace So if you have pity on this poor lost lamb God love you, dear Saint Bridget, deliver us to Bee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eekman Place
Sing with me Patrick, it will keep up your courage!
Agnes and Young Patrick So if you have pity on this poor lost sheep God love you, dear Saint Bridget, deliver us to Bee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-eekman Place

St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast Composer(s): Frank Zappa Performer(s): Frank Zappa
Yes indeed Here we are
At Where I stole the margarine And wheedled on the Bingo cards And blew up the latrine
I saw a handsome parish lady Make her entrance like a queen While she was totally in chenille And her old man was a Marine
As she abused the sausage pattie And said, "Why don't you treat me mean?" At Where I stole the margarine (St. Alfonzo St. Alfonzo St. Alfonzo St. Alfonzo)
Here I Am Composer(s): Craig Wasson Performer(s): Craig Wasson
Uncle Sam Im in Vietnam Its a jungle its a prison But here I am Dreaming of the outside and freedom, planning my get away
Far away from this one ship bay In the south-east tip of Asia Where I lay Dreaming of the outside and freedom, planning my getaway
Weapon drawn I got my wet gear on I'm crawling on my belly near Khe Sahn Dreaming of the outside and freedom planning my getaway
But there is a guard on the inside with a rifle in hand And a guard on the outside on this government land Uncle Sam Im in Vietnam its a jungle its a prison but here I am, here I am...
Life Composer(s): Jovan Jovanov - Ilija Nikolovski First performance by: Toe Proeski - 2004
I saw my ID and it wasn't me It was someone else's identity Why do I need to prove myself And who is the judge of my sanity?
Roaming through my old emotions I find new feelings of misery I bet with my soul to get back the truth Where I will face reality
