    Io Fantasmo
    (English & French Versions: Daydreaming; Je Fantasme)
    Composer(s): Raggi; Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz
    Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



    Nella musica in cui vivrà
    L'effetto di sensualità
    Il voyeurismo istintuale
    Ha serietà preferenziale
    Perché il potere sensitivo
    A monte e a valle è sempre vivo
    E una carezza erogenante
    Sblocca il rapporto più alienante
    Io fantasmo
    Nevroticamente eroticamente
    Io fantasmo
    Traumaticamente ed ormonalmente
    Io fantasmo
    Schizofrenicamente
    Lo psicodramma arriverà
    E fallocratico sarà
    Con tracce sadomasochiste
    E le libido corrisposte
    Gli spasmi massimalizzati
    Han gli specifici frenati
    Nella dialettica coitale
    Che presuppone un io verbale
    Io fantasmo

    Ma questa razionalità
    Ritrova concettualità
    In linea con il sostituto
    Rispetto al dato vissuto
    Per cui l'ipotesi primaria
    Ha un ruolo troppo secondario
    L'inconscio assume il motivante
    Ma paranoico e frustrante
    Io ti amo
    Fanaticamente emozionalmente
    Io ti amo
    Romanticamente ossessionalmente
    Io ti amo
    Liberatoriamente
    Io fantasmo
    Romanticamente ossessionalmente
    Io ti amo
    Traumaticamente ed emozionalmente
    Io fantasmo
    Liberatoriamente
    Io ti amo
    Traumaticamente ed ormonalmente
    Io ti amo
    Romaticamente ossessionalmente
    Io ti amo
    Schizofrenicamente

    New York's A Lonely Town
    Composer(s): Pete Andreoli; Vince Poncia
    Performer(s): The Trade Winds; Bobby Sutliff



    ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh

    My folks moved to New York from California
    I should have listened when my buddy said "I warn ya" (warn ya)
    "There'll be no surfin' there and no one even ca-a-ares"

    (My woody's outside) covered with snow
    (Nowhere to go now)
    New York's a lonely town
    When you're the only surfer boy around

    From Central Park to Pasadena's such a long way
    I feel so out of it walkin' down Broadway (Broadway)
    I feel so bad each time I look out there and fi-i-ind

    (My woody's outside) covered with snow
    (Nowhere to go now)
    New York's a lonely town
    When you're the only surfer boy around

    ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

    I feel so bad each time I look out there and fi-i-ind

    (My woody's outside) covered with snow
    (Nowhere to go now)
    New York's a lonely town
    When you're the only surfer boy around

    ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh
    ooh, ooh, ooh

    Fade

    ahh, ahh

    Siamo qui noi soli
    Come ogni sera

    Che io sto cambiando
    E tu mi vuoi laciare

    Io che non vivo più di un'ora senza te
    Come posso stare una vita senza te
    Sei mia,s ei mia, mai niente lo sai
    Separarci un giorno potrai

    Vieni qui ascoltami
    Che io ti voglio bene
    Te ne prego fermati
    Ancora insieme a me

    Can I Put You On Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John



    I work for the foundry for a penny and a half a day
    Like a blind street musician I never see those who pay
    It's dirty work in Birmingham
    Better deal for a Sheffield man
    If he can rivet then his kids can buy
    Candy from the candy man

    And the van that comes around weekends
    Selling fancy city things
    Sold by the man with the trilby hat
    And the whiskers spread like wings
    You can hear him sing
    Oh you can hear him sing
    Can I put you on, people can I put you on
    Tell you that I love you people
    Sing a salesman's song and put you on

    And a second cousin works in the pits in Newcastle on Tyne
    And he don't care if it rains outside, there's coal dust on his mind
    It's dirty work in Manchester
    But the crew gets paid its gelt
    Bang on the bell on Friday
    You buys a little something for yourself

    And the van that comes around weekends
    Selling fancy city things
    Sold by the man in the trilby hat
    And the whiskers spread like wings
    You can hear him sing
    Oh you can hear him sing
    Can I put you on, people can I put you on
    Tell you that I love you people
    Sing a salesman's song and put you on

    New York, New York

    Performer(s): Gerard Kenny; Shirley Bassey



    I was eating a gyro sandwich walking down Eighth Avenue
    When a young girl came up to me and said
    "Brother, you got something I can chew?"
    Well I kept walking along trying to make up a song about what to do
    Telling how the city lights and the Broadway nights are like a dream come true
    Good old...

    Chorus:
    New York, New York, so good they named it twice
    New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
    New York, New York, now isn't it a pity .........
    What they say about New York City

    It was a really nice night for a good street fight or a robbery
    But I always knew in my home town that would never happen to me
    I kept walking around trying to make up a sound 'bout what it's like to be
    In the city of light on a rag time night, it's something more than free
    In good old...

    New York, New York, so good they named it twice
    New York, New York, all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
    New York, New York, now isn't it a pity .........
    What they say about New York City

    Every time I have to leave and travel far away
    I am never ever happy 'til I'm home to stay
    Home to stay in New York

    (Piano Solo)

    New York, New York, so good they named it twice
    New York, New York,all the scandal and the vice, I love it!
    New York, New York, now isn't it a pity.........
    What they say about New York City

    Ozzie:
    Come on, Gabey, hurry up!

    Chip:
    Twenty-four hours!

    Sailor:
    Hey, why don't ya look where you're goin'.
    You'd think it was your first time in New York!

    Gabey:
    It is!

    (The sailors look around them, happily absorbing the scene)

    Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
    New York, New York!
    It's a helluva town!

    Gabey:
    We've got one day here and not another minute
    To see the famous sights!

    Ozzie:
    We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
    Beneath the Broadway lights;
    But we've hair on our chests
    So what we like the best are the nights
    Sights! Lights! Nights!

    Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
    New York, New York, a helluva town
    The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down
    The people ride in a hole in the groun'
    New York, New York, it's a helluva town!

    Chip:
    (points to Empire State Building)
    Hey, Gabey! Gabey, look

    (consulting his guidebook with reverence and excitement)

    Gabey, it says here "There are 20,000 streets in New York
    not counting MacDougal Alley the heart of Green-Witch Village
    a charming thoroughfare filled with..."

    Ozzie:
    Here we go again!

    Chip:
    The famous places to visit are so many
    Or so the guidebooks say
    I promised Daddy I wouldn't miss on any
    And we have just one day
    Got to see the whole town
    From Yonkers on down to the Bay

    Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
    In just one day!

    New York, New York, a visitor's place
    Where no one lives on account of the pace
    But seven millions are screaming for space
    New York, New York, it's a visitor's place!

    (Two sailors enter, weaving and weary-looking
    one happy, one very glum)

    Gabey:
    Hey! Look who's comin' back!
    It's Tom and Andy!

    Ozzie:
    Hey, Tom, Andy!
    Hey, fellas, how are the New York dames?

    Andy:
    Wonderful - I don't remember a thing!

    Tom:
    Awful! I remember everything!

    (Tom and Andy exit)

    Ozzie:

    Manhattan women are dressed in silk and satin
    Or so the fellas say
    There's just one thing that's important in Manhattan
    When you have just one day
    Gotta pick up a date...

    Chip:
    Maybe seven...

    Ozzie:
    Or eight
    On your way

    Gabey, Chip, Ozzie:
    In just one day!

    Io Canto
    Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante; Marco Luberti
    First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1979



    La nebbia che si posa la mattina
    Le pietre di un sentiero di collina
    Il falco che s'innalzerà
    Il primo raggio che verrà
    La neve che si scioglierà correndo al mare
    L'impronta di una testa sul cuscino
    I passi lenti e incerti di un bambino
    Lo sguardo di serenità
    La mano che si tenderà
    La gioia di chi aspetterà
    Per questo e quello che verrà
    Io canto
    Le mani in tasca canto
    La voce in festa canto
    La banda in testa canto
    Corro nel vento e canto
    La vita intera canto
    La primavera canto
    La mia preghiera canto
    Per chi mi ascolterà
    Voglio cantare sempre cantare
    L'odore del caffè nella cucina
    La casa tutta piena di mattina
    E l'ascensore che non va
    L'amore per la mia città
    La gente che sorriderà lungo la strada
    I rami che si intrecciano nel cielo
    Un vecchio che cammina tutto solo
    L'estate che poi passerà
    Il grano che maturerà
    La mano che lo coglierà
    Per questo e quello che sarà
    Io canto
    Le mani in tasca canto
    La voce in festa canto
    La banda in testa canto
    Corro nel vento e canto
    La vita intera canto
    La primavera canto
    La mia preghiera canto
    Per chi mi ascolterà
    Voglio cantare sempre cantare
    Io canto
    Le mani in tasca canto
    La voce in festa canto
    La banda in testa canto
    Corro nel vento e canto
    La vita intera canto

    New York City is the hottest place
    For a honeymoon in a hotel room
    New York City is my favorite place
    'Cause I know so many people with a golden face
    Uh-huh!
    It's always late at night when I wanna go out
    And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd
    Especially for me, this is true
    I have the best time when you're there too
    Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go
    We are going disco
    But before we hit East 7th Street
    We are going to another disco
    Disco after disco
    And shaking our hair to the disco rap
    AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
    The newest club is opening up (3x)

    New York, New York (4x)
    Yeaaaahhhhhh!

    New York City is the hottest place
    For a honeymoon in a hotel room
    Uh-huh!
    New York City is a place so nice
    Everybody says it so they had to name it twice
    New York my happy love's you, I love you very much
    I could not live without you, so let's always keep in touch
    New York City has the fanciest rule
    When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool

    After the show when we are ready to go
    We are going disco
    But before we hit East 7th Street
    We are going to another disco
    Disco, after disco
    And shaking our hair to the disco rap
    AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
    The newest club is opening up (3x)

    New York, New York (8x)
    Yeah

    It's going hop hop hop hop hop hop
    Straight up to the top
    Hop hop hop hop hop hop
    Straight up to the top
    Let there be light
    'Cause David Bowie's gonna be here tonight in New York
    I create ecstacy in my world
    I know who I am
    And I am willing to declare myself to the world
    I am a staaaaaaarrrrrrr!
    In New York
    Whosoever with me...

    Io Camminerò
    Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi
    Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi



    La mia donna, la sua allegria
    che mi riscalderà col fuoco di un'idea
    uomo solo, uomo a metà
    domani nei suoi occhi tutto il resto affogherà
    E cascate d'amore noi
    le nebbie del passato non ci inquineranno mai
    a quest'ora ti sento mia
    l'avrai già lasciato con disprezzo e poesia
    Bianchi zingari i passi tuoi
    nell'anima il silenzio da quanto tempo hai
    io d'amore ti vestirò
    ma non dovrai tremare dove io ti porterò

    Io camminerò, tu mi seguirai
    angeli braccati noi
    ci sarà un cielo ed io lavorerò, tu mi aspetterai
    e una sera impazzirò
    quando mi dirai che un figlio avrai, avrò ...

    Sciogli i dubbi e i capelli tuoi
    perché sei così bella se non sai quello che vuoi
    io d'amore ti vestirò
    ma non mi domandare dove io ti porterò
    Io camminerò, tu mi seguirai
    angeli sbagliati noi
    ci sarà un cielo ed io lavorerò tu mi aspetterai
    e una sera impazzirò
    quando mi dirai che un figlio avrai, avrò ...

    J'ai tous les rois de la ville dans le public
    Cent mille bravos

    Et tous ces bravos croulent de tous côtés

    Et si j'ai su te plaire c'est à la terre entière
    Que je plairais New-York New-York

    Invitation To The Blues

    Performer(s): Julie London
    and multiple other artists



    My heart was all dressed up to go dancing
    I had a brand new shine on my views
    The roses you sent for, the line that I went for
    Was just an invitation to the blues

    The very thought of love was entrancing
    I figured I had nothing to lose
    Your smile so elusive, your kiss so exclusive
    Was just an invitation to the blues

    I went to town, priced a wedding gown
    Put my little red book on the shelf
    Hired a hall, got the band and all
    And marched down the aisle by myself

    I guess you can't depend on romancing
    It puts your heart right down in your shoes
    Instead of a wedding for which I was heading
    I got an an invitation to the blues

    Start spreading the news
    I'm leaving today
    I want to be a part of it
    New York, New York

    These vagabond shoes
    They are longing to stray
    Right through the very heart of it
    New York, New York

    I want to wake up in a city
    That doesn't sleep
    And find I'm king of the hill
    Top of the heap

    These little town blues
    Are melting away
    I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
    In old New York

    If I can make it there
    I'll make it anywhere
    It's up to you

    Covered by multiple other artists



    You and your smile hold a strange invitation
    Somehow it seems
    We've shed our dream but we're
    Time after time in a room full of strangers
    Out of the blue, suddenly you were there

    Wherever I go you're the glow of temptation,
    Glancing my way in the grey of the dawn
    And always your smile holds that strange invitation
    Then you are gone
    Where oh where have you gone

    How long must I live in a world of illusion
    Be where you are so near yet so far, apart
    Hoping you'll say with a sweet invitation
    Where have you been, darling come in
    Into my heart

    Performer(s): Grandmaster Flash



    Ah New York New York big city of dreams
    And everything in New York ain't always what it seems
    You might get fooled if you come from out of town
    But I'm down by law and I know my way around, too much
    Ah too many people, too much -- a ha hah
    Too much, too many people, too much, rrrrrrrah!

    A castle in the sky, one mile high
    Built to shelter the rich and greedy
    Rows of eyes, disguised as windows
    Lookin DOWN on the poor and the needy
    Miles of people, marchin up the avenue
    Doin what they gotta do, just to get by
    I'm livin in the land of plenty and many
    But I'm damn sure poor and I don't know why

    Too much, ah too many people, too much
    Too much, too many people, too much!

    A man's on a ledge, says he's gonna jump
    People gather round, said, "He won't he's just a chump"
    Cause he lost his job, then he got robbed
    His mortgage is due and his marriage is through
    He says he ain't gonna pay no child support
    Because the bitch left him without a second thought
    He got nothin to eat, no shoes on his feet
    She even left his clothes, out in the street
    He keeps hearin noises when he's at home
    He always hears voices when he's all alone
    His wife took the kids, the car and the crib
    In this man's world, so much for women's lib

    New York New York big city of dreams
    But everything in New York ain't always what it seems
    You might get fooled if you come from out of town
    But I'm down by law, and I know my way around

    Down in the Village, you might think I'm silly
    but you can't tell the women from the men sometimes
    They're sugar and spice and everything nice
    But when you get em home ain't no tellin what you find
    Right next door is a little old man
    I seen him eatin dog food out of a can
    He says, "I got to eat, when I can't afford meat
    I barely can stand, on my own two feet"
    I got a bad habit and I just can't break it
    Somethin's on my mind and I just can't shake it
    I need some time, and I want some space
    I gotta get away from the human race

    Too much, ah too many people, too much... a-ha hah
    Too much, ah too many people, too much! Rrrrrrrah!

    Stand at a skyscraper reachin into heaven
    When over in the ghetto I'm livin in hell
    Just play ball or be an entertainer
    cause niggaz like me can't read too well
    Nobody loves me, nobody cares
    I dreamed about a life but I'm livin in a nightmare
    Paranoid schitzo, set back, snowbound
    Bad news psycho, heart attack, breakdown!

    Hee, huh (16X) HUH!

    If only I could sleep just ten more minutes
    I might find the strength to make another day
    If I didn't have to get up, and do my thing
    I would probably sleep my whole life away
    I messed up a nice dream, somethin bout ice cream
    Whipped cream fruits and a cherry on top
    Now I gotta get up and face the world, huh
    The pressure is on it ain't never gonna stop
    I sho' gotta learn to use my mind
    I don't wanna be kissin nobody's behind
    Just standin on line lookin like a jerk
    Gotta get off my butt and do a full day's work
    I ran into a pothole, got into a car crash
    Shoulda been thinkin and tried to fake whiplash
    A crowd gathered round, they're callin me fat
    Who you lookin at wit a face like that?

    New York New York big city of dreams
    Everything in New York ain't always what it seems
    You might get fooled if you come from out of town
    But I'm down by law and I know my way around

    On 42nd Street, lookin for some action
    Women standin on the corner sellin satisfaction
    One young punk just leanin on the fence
    Tryin to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
    Really is a prankster, tried to be a gangster
    Real big wheel when a gun is in his hands
    Just did a stick-up, just got picked up
    One dead punk, killed by the man

    New York New York big city of dreams
    And everything in New York ain't always what it seem
    You might get fooled if you come from out of town
    But I'm down by law and I know my way around
    Too much, too many people, too much... ah ha hah hah
    Too much, too many people, too much! HUAHH!

    A baby cries and a mother dies
    And the tears fall from the doctor's eyes because
    in this room, on this day
    The Good Lord has giveth, and taketh away, huh
    The gift of life really means a lot
    And in the ghetto your life is all you got
    So you take to the streets, tryin to exist
    in the trash and slime of a world like this
    What you watch, on TV
    a tells you what life is supposed to be
    But when you look outside the only thing you see
    Is the poverty stricken, reality, heh
    Abandoned places, angry faces
    Much hate and hunger through-out the races
    You say, "I'm grown and I'm on my own
    So why don't everybody just leave me alone!"
    Now you stay at home, talkin on the phone
    Doin ninety miles an hour in the fifty mile zone
    They never took the time to tell you bout sex
    So you had to learn about it in the discotheques
    Nine months later, the baby is there
    and the nigga that did it said, "I don't care!"
    You don't have enough money to help feed two
    So you have to choose between the baby and you
    The sky was cryin, rain and hail
    When you put yo' baby in the garbage pail
    Then you kissed the kid and put down the lid
    And you tried to forget what you just did, huh
    The muffled screams of a dyin baby
    was enough to drive the young mother crazy
    so she ran in the rain tryin to ease the pain
    Huh huh, and she drove herself insane

    New York New York big city of dreams
    But everything in New York ain't always what it seem
    You might get fooled if you come from out of town
    But I'm down by law and I know my way around

    Ah too much, too many people, too much... ah ha hah hah
    Too much, too many people, too much! HUHHH!

    So what's happenin man? What's happenin?
    Man you should see these bad girls out here workin the corner
    Loose joints, loose joints!
    A hah hah hah
    Aiyyo baby won't you come here man gimme a little somethin
    Let's try to get the money man
    Aiyyo aiyyo y'all know this dude look he comin right here let's rob him man
    Ohh yeah yeah
    Nah nah leave him alone
    Hey slick, you know your way to Sugarhill Records?
    Ay man that's in Jersey nigga! C'mere c'mere man whassup wit you?
    (conversation disolves into a fight)

    New York New York big city of dreams
    But everything in New York ain't always what it seems
    You might get fooled if you come from out of town
    But I'm down by law and I know my way around
    Too much, too many people, too much... ha hah hah hah
    Too much, too many people, too much

    Invitation
    Composer(s): Martin Page; Maurice White; Peter Wolf
    Performer(s): Maurice White



    Invitation to love again
    Welcome to my heart
    Step into my love again

    Are you ready to love again?
    Welcome to my heart
    Step into my love again

    I daydream about
    The first time
    That I fell in love

    I lived on a street
    Called cloud nine
    Among the stars above

    And even though you let me go
    I never understood the game
    For all this time I've cared for you
    And still I have a burning flame

    Invitation
    Welcome to my heart again
    Are you ready?
    Step into my love again

    I used to watch sunshine
    On your lovely face
    Our love was filled with
    Emotion of a heated rage

    But now that I have come of age
    I recognize your quality
    And now I feel deep down inside
    That you are the one for me

    Invitation
    Why can't we be more than friends?
    Are you ready?
    Dance into my love again

    Invitation
    Come on let the magic in
    I know you're ready
    This is where our love begins

    Invitation

    Now is time
    Falling in love again
    Open up, let the magic in

    You're my touch
    Let's play the game again
    Here's my heart and
    I will always be baby

    Love will always be baby

    Invitation
    Come on let the magic in
    I know you're ready
    Step into my love again

    Composer(s): Billy Joel
    Performer(s): Billy Joel;
    and various other artists



    Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
    Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood
    I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines
    Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
    But I know what I'M needing and I don't want to waste more time
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    It was so easy living day by day
    Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
    But now I need a little give and take
    The New York Times, the Daily News...

    It comes down to reality-and it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
    Don't care if it's Chinatown or Riverside
    I don't have any reasons, I've left them all behind
    I'm in a New York state of mind

    It was so easy living day by day
    Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
    But now I need a little give and take
    The New York Times, the Daily News...

    I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
    'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind

    Performer(s): Genesis



    Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long
    But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know
    She has a built in ability
    To take everything she sees
    And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her

    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    It takes control and slowly tears you apart

    Well I don't really know her, I only know her name
    But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same, and now I know
    She's got something you just can't trust
    It's something mysterious
    And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her

    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    It takes control and slowly tears you apart

    She don't like losing, to her it's still a game
    And though she will mess up your life
    You'll want her just the same, and now I know
    She has a built in ability
    To take everything she sees
    And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her

    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
    She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
    It takes control and slowly tears you apart

    She seems to have an invisible touch...

    New York Minute
    Composer(s): Don Henley; Danny Kortchmar; Jai Winding
    Performer(s): The Eagles;
    and various other artists



    Harry got up
    Dressed all in black
    Went down to the station
    And he never came back
    They found his clothing
    Scattered somewhere down the track
    And he won't be down on Wall Street
    in the morning

    He had a home
    The love of a girl
    But men get lost sometimes
    As years unfold
    One day he crossed some line
    And he was too much in this world
    But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute
    Things can get pretty strange
    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute

    Lying here in the darkness
    I hear the sirens wail
    Somebody going to emergency
    Somebody's going to jail
    If you find somebody to love in this world
    You better hand on tooth and nail
    The wolf is always at the door

    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute
    Things can get a little strange
    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute

    And in these days
    When darkness falls early
    And people rush home
    To the ones they love
    You better take a fool's advice
    And tak care of your own
    One day they're here
    Next day they're gone

    I pulled my coat around my shoulders
    And took a walk down through the park
    The leaves were falling around me
    The groaning city in the gathering dark
    On some solitary rock
    A desperate lover left his mark
    "Baby, I've changed
    Please come back"

    What the head makes cloudy
    The heart makes very clear
    The days were so much brighter
    In the time when she was here
    But I know there's somebody somewhere
    Make these dark clouds disappear
    Until that day, I have to believe
    I believe, I believe

    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute
    You can get out of the rain
    In a New York Minute
    Everything can change
    In a New York Minute

    Invisible tears in my eyes
    Incredible pain in my heart
    Indestructable memories
    Are passing in review
    Impossible though things may get
    Improbable I will forget
    Indelible memories
    Of sweet loveable you (ou-ou)

    You're back agai-ain (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    So I'll let you in (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Although I'm only stealing
    Pictures from the past
    Those arms are not real (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    But somehow I feel (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    If I'd just close my eyes
    Then maybe it will last

    Invisible tears in my eyes
    Incredible pain in my heart
    Indestructable memories
    Are passing in review
    Impossible though things may get
    Improbable I will forget
    Indelible memories
    Of sweet loveable you
    Indelible memories
