Starship Trooper Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Steve Howe - Chris Squire Performer(s): Yes and multiple other artists
I. Life Seeker
Sister Bluebird flying high above Shine your wings forward to the sun Hide the myst'ries of life on your way Though you've seen them, please don't say a word What you don't know, I have never heard
Starship Trooper, go sailing on by Catch my soul, catch the very night Hide the moment from my eager eyes Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul What you can't see, can't be very whole
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways I still remember the talks by the water the proud sons and daughters that In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Mother life, hold firmly on to me Catch my knowledge higher than the day Lose as much as only you can show Though you've seen them, please don't say a word What I don't know, I have never shared
II. Desillusion
Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess to give or take away forever All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the fact there shown before you Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy to see that this is all confusion As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may follow
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways I still remember the talks by the water the proud sons and daughters that In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Never Let You Go Composer(s): Alexander Lunyev - Karen Kavaleryan - Irina Antonyan First performance by: Dima Bilan - 2006
Heavy clouds, no rain, and every move causes pain Ready kiss, but no love, I feel I'm torn in half Burning look, but no heat, it's not you really need Baby, now it's happened with us We are dancing on broken glass Can't stand no more
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
Gentle words, no aim, it seems we're playing a game Easy smile, but no fun, sweet music for no one Close embrace, but no more, cold champagne we forgot to pour Baby, now it's happened with us We are dancing on broken glass Can't stand no more
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
Love's carving it in my heart Ooh... baby, now it's happened with us We are dancing on broken glass (Can't stand no more)
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
High Time Composer(s): Garcia; Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead
You told me goodbye, how was I to know you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?
I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know
The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say
I'm having a hard time, living the good life, well I know
I was losing time, I had nothing to do no one to fight, I came to you Wheels broke down, leader won't draw the line is busted, the last one I saw Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying
I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way
Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong
We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know
We are civilized and free from all confusion And yet we always worry for the things that we can't see But now to give your love away, a miracle in motion You know what seems invisible will never ever be disguised to me
I start to lose control I start to lose control
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes Until my arms surround you and build the world around you All I see are the stars in your eyes
First you hear the angels sing and then you see the wedding ring Shining as the threads of life so secretly are woven You know what you've found, you want to last forever You heart has found its wings and left for never never
And then I lose control I start to lose control
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes Until my arms surround you and build the world around you All I see are the stars in your eyes
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes Until my arms surround you and build the world around you All I see are the stars in your eyes

Twist Of Love Composer(s): Niels Drevsholt First performance by: Sidsel Ben Semmane - 2006
Once upon a time there was this guy called Johnny He was kinda shy and so in love with Connie But so was O'Smarty, who played it cool The king of the party, but oh... what a fool (What a fool)
He didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to make a girl insist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist
Twist, he didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist
Once upon a night there was this guy called Johnny He was kinda high and dancing with his honey The queen of the party proclaimed him king While poor ol' O'Smarty was left in the ring
He didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to make a girl insist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist
Twist, he didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist Hit it, Johnny
A twist of love, a twist of pain A twist of me and you A twist of things you can't explain Will make your dream come true
Be sure you know how to twist Be sure you know how to make a girl insist Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist
Oh... (Twist) Yeah, twist Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist

A Star Fell Out Of Heaven Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
There was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky How could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by There was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected Then love came along so unexpectedly, for me
A star fell out of heaven, right into my arms A star fell out of heaven, right into my dreams And since that very moment, life is so divine I never heard a star speak before This one said : "Will you be mine?"
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
High Powered Love Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
I've been running low on inspiration Tired of the physical intrigue There's nothing left to imagination Living in a world that treats love so carelessly Don't want no smooth Tallinn' lover I can't play the role It just leaves me cold I need a high powered love I wanna feel that lightning streak High powered love Got to be down in the heart with me Sometimes it's hard to keep believing Too many pretty faces all skin deep Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven And won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me If you're looking for a good time A notch on your gun I ain't the one I want a high powered love Got to have intensity High powered love Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat I can't turn back I'm on a mission I know there's someone out there for me I need a high powered love One that'll defy gravity High powered love Got to be strong and keep on lifting me Yeah I need a high powered love I wanna feel the lightning streak High powered love Got to be down in the heart with me Got to be down in the heart with me
High On A Windy Hill Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney Performer(s): Glenn Miller; and various other artists
High on a windy hill I feel my heart stand still All I can hear you calling my name Into a misty blue I go in search of you There in the shadows calling your name Why are you just beyond me When will I see your face Why do you just elude me And leave me this lonely space Oh, into eternity your love will beckon me I can't forget your voice that calls my name
Into eternity your love will beckon me I can't forget your voice that calls my name..
No No Never Composer(s): Jane Comerford First performance by: Texas Lightning - 2006
My love is stronger now than you'll ever know And it won't ever let you go My love is wider than the ocean can be And it's deeper than the deep blue sea
My love goes higher than a mountain can rise And I see it there, in your eyes My love gets tougher when the going gets rough And believe me, I got more than enough
Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on There's a place we belong Where things are good, where love is strong
I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn No, no, never No, no, never
My love shines brighter than a twinklin' star Baby, no matter where you are And my love keeps burnin' like an eternal flame You can feel it when I'm callin' your name
Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on There's a place we belong Where things are good, where love is strong
I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn No, no, never No, no, never
Oh... never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
High On A Mountain Composer(s): Steve Katz Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears
High on a mountain where the sun still shines And the water runs a little lazy Wild-eyed and lonely, running out of time Some will say I died half-crazy
One time a hustler took me for a ride All because I tried to deceive her She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her
Carry me 'cross the water I've been over there once before Stayed with a poor man's daughter I can't live in this country no more
Death beds and ragged threads are my last home Someone should have known of my ending Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy Ain't much left of me worth defending
Carry me 'cross the water I've been over there once before And I stayed with a poor man's daughter I can't live in this country no more
Stars (Are The Windows Of Heaven) Composer(s): Tommie Malie - Jimmy Steiger Performer(s): Ruth Etting and multiple other artists
Two little kids, watching the sky One of them said, I wonder why All of the stars are shining so bright When there wasn't a star last night I've often wondered, what is a star The other one said, "Here's what they are...."
Stars are the windows of heaven Where Angels peek through Up in the sky they keep an eye On kids like me and you
They cry each time we are naughty Their tear drops are the rain But when we're good They are smiling and they shine again
Stars are the windows of heaven Where Angels peek through
High On A Hilltop Composer(s): Joe South Performer(s): Joe South
Away from the noise and up above the mad rushing crowd There's a place where a little guy can stand mighty tall and proud And sometimes late, late, late in the evening When there's nobody else around I can be found, looking down on the town High on a Hilltop There's a half million people all scramblin round down there below Just a face in the crowd, there I was just an hour ago But now late, late, late, in the evening When the world's got the best of me Oh and I gotta be free, that's where I'll be High on a Hill top, high on a hilltop baby High on a hilltop, high on a hilltop, oh yeah I can find piece of mind in the shade of a big oak tree And when it comes my time that's where God's gonna look for me And everyday late, late, late in the evening When the rest of the world goes by And I won't cry, up next to the sky High on a hill top, high on a hilltop baby Why don't you come along That's where we belong, yeah, way up high You can take my hand, take your piece of land, yeah High on a hill top, drop what you're doin Meet Me Up There, oh where the air is rare You can see everything, high on a hilltop Meet me High on a hilltop
I Do Composer(s): Aldo Spiteri - Fabrizio Faniello First performance by: Fabrizio Faniello - 2006
'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
I've been there by your side We've been laughing, we have cried Kept the piece of heart you gave From our breakup day
You left me, still, I know You didn't have a choice Waiting for the day we're back together
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
Our lives were torn apart I know we'll get a brand new start When the world just can't decide Where we lay our love
We've done our time alone And never will again Waiting for the day we're back together
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I need you
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
Waiting for the day when I hear you say Our love is here to stay
I won't give you up, I'll never stop (Never stop) I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do (Oh yes, I do) I do, I do, I need you
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do (Yes, I do) I do, I do, I do (Yes, I do) I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) Composer(s): Ned Washington; Dimitri Tiomkin Performer(s): Frankie Laine; and various other artists
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' On this, our weddin' day Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life or his'n I'm not afraid of death but oh What will I do if you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin' Now that I need you by my side
Wait along, (wait along) wait along Wait along, wait along (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
Stars Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Stood out in the rain, let it soak me down Before I called you, I called you Didnt see me there, hidden by the rain Beneath your window, but I saw you Putting on your face before the mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me Catching your fondest gazes, living through your fickle phases I love you...
And its getting easier each day to weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you----ou How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with You
Spend my dimes on phones, trying just to talk But you dont answer, you let it ring Spend my nights alone, catching falling stars To give to you, love, theyre just for you For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me And as they trail the skies, and burn their paths across my eyes I cry
And its getting easier each day to weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you----ou How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with You
