Forever begins with you.

(Orchestral overtones, larger than life operatic voices)

You and I

We wander through the starlight…

We become

What love and joy can be like………

On the wind

Success would count us equals…….

For………one…………more………day….

All my life

Time had kept its’ reasons…………….

We became

Unchanged despite the seasons……

Love of mine

Let yourself be conquered…………….

For………one…………more………day….

Chorus:

You give me hope….

That we can scale o’er mountains…..

You show me love….

And make my dreams come true…..

We hold the keys….

Of knowing how to enter……

For in our hearts….

Are secrets to believe……

I honour thee

And share a life of purpose…………..

We travel far

For this shall bring us close…………..

I see joy

It fills my eyes with teardrops……….

For………one…………more………day….

You and I

Bound by the laws of attraction…….

To be strong

The force of loves’ reaction…………..

You kiss me

This light breathes me understanding

For………one…………more………day….

(Melody pauses slightly/briefly)

Forever begins with you…..

For………one…………more………da..aa..yy..

(Then suddenly the mood picks up and moves into the)

Chorus:

You give me hope….

That we can scale o’er mountains…..

You show me love….

And make my dreams come true…..

We hold the keys….

Of knowing how to enter……

For in our hearts….

Are secrets to believe……

Chorus:

You give me hope….

That we can scale o’er mountains…..

You show me love….

And make my dreams come true…..

We hold the keys….

Of knowing how to enter……

For in our hearts….

Are secrets to be…..li….e...v…e……

Life Revolving

Orchestral intro: Rhythmic piano.

Standing here….

Knees a little weak……

(pause) the young man I used to be…

Smiled and held my hand…….

“Do you understand?”

Said he:

“Do you understand what you…….

Could be?”……

Musical medley of orchestral type instruments, soothing into a lull before second verse.

Holding you……

Perfection, swathed in cotton…..

(pause) a father knowing a son..

You smiled as if you knew….

Yes you understand………

My gift:

Yes you understand what you……

Mean to me……..

Chorus:

I am not awake….

Or I am in a dream…..

All the power of love is here….

Held within your smile………

Your mum and I so grateful…

To behold the grace of you……

Life revolves as morning breaks…..

Breathing love to (see us through….!)

((alternate end to chorus) us anew……!)

Choral mid 8.

(possibly repeating chorus harmonising with cheollo, violins, viola)

Lull before verse 3

Laying here……

My eyes are growing dim….

(pause) a son stands above me….

Who smiles and takes my hand……

Yes he understands…….

He cries:

Now he understands all the love..

He has brought to be…

Another choral lift to arouse mood into chorus.

Chorus:

I am not awake….

Or I am in a dream…..

All the power of love is here….

Held within your smile………

Your mum and I so grateful…

To behold the grace of you……

Life revolves as morning breaks…..

Breathing love to see us through….! (or alternate ending)

Possible repeat of chorus here, but a dramatic finale orchestra and drums to fanfare…

I’ve been expecting you.

Intro:

A sudden burst of electric guitar for about 16bars

Then a regular drum beat kicks in (thudding softly)

Cymbal/high hat ticking.

(Doves ‘Pounding’, ELO ‘don’t bring me down, Noel Gallagher’s ‘High flying birds’ esq…)

(Spoken over/through this intro)

Pulse….thumping….

Heart…..racing…..

Eyes….. shinning..

I’ve been expecting you…….

Another guitar rift, pause…

Then off into the regular melody, drums maintaining pace behind as v1 begins…..

Two….worlds…..collide…..

Two…..hearts …..combine…

Will you be…the wave I ride…….?

What chance is there…….

That ….I’d ……survive….?

Now….

Time….stands….still……

Love……hearts….fill…..

Does this light….. bring me to you……?

Could this night….

Reveal love so true……..?

Now…..

Chorus:

You have come to bring me fire…

Light my hopes and breathe desire…

Darling…..

All my life has been a test….

And lead me on to know the best…..

Forever…..

Share the magic (only) you can bring…

Make love to me and make love sing…

(Together…..)

Be with me and make love sing….

Together…..

Two….lovers….dance….

Pure….passions……chance…..

Hope to fill….. the void I’d face….

Has come because…..

We collided… in this space……..

Now….

Two….souls….entwine…..

Say……you’re…..mine……

Our love explodes………and we move mountains…

Pleasure shared…..

Creating floods like fountains…..

Forever……

Chorus:

You have come to bring me fire…

Light my hopes and breathe desire…

Darling…..

All my life has been a test….

And lead me on to know the best…..

Forever…..

Share the magic (only) you can bring…

Make love to me and make love sing…

(Together…..)

Be with me and make love sing….

Together…..

(then to fade)

Together……..

Forever…….

You gotta make it happen.

(Oasis style, screeching guitars etc)

(pace as: the Jam’s ‘Going Underground’)

I’m seeing the mood in this place…

Changing from hope to dread…….

I hear the rain breaking dreams…

Filling every desolate place in my head…

What expectations did I really have..

From greedy politician who lie and cheat….?

The only way I’m getting outa here…..

Is parallel with the effing street………..

(Echo refrain)(Backing vocal)

Here me say…….death is not defeat…..!

(short musical lull, then)

Did I really ask for this……

The desolation of the needy….the poor…?

Could our decadence not have shared……

And give us all a little more……?

They tell me I gotta break in…..

To keep the balance….status quo….

But I don’t see the sharing…..

Or anything but a lack of real caring……

(Echo refrain)(Backing vocal)

The lack sown…….to grow and grow…

Chorus:

So it’s up to us now…….

If you ever want an ounce of peace….

You gotta do something more…

If you ever want the pain to cease……

There’s never a time…….

Like the here and now my friend…..

So do your level best…..

You gotta make it……. happen….!!

(Mid 8)

(Guitar rifts, taking the mood up and down like a roller coaster!)

Then spoken through the middle of the rifts.

I’ve been a patient man……

But this life has to change….

If my life would be of value…

I just gotta make life happen….!

(Small lull then)

Wars for oil…spoiling life on foreign soil….

Can never bring a peace we seek….

If the lack of love within our hearts…

Is poorer than the hateful words we speak…

Days of greed shall never bring us hope…

For we’re lost to madness of our mind…

Redemption will not look for us my friend…

It’s up to us…… I think you’ll find……..

(Echo refrain)(Backing vocal)

Don’t keep suffering…the madness of our mind…

(Small lull then)

Rift into chorus:

Chorus:

So it’s up to us now…….

If you ever want an ounce of peace….

You gotta do something more…

If you ever want the pain to cease……

There’s never a time…….

Like the here and now my friend…..

So do your level best…..

You gotta make it……. happen….!!

(Then to fade)

There’s never a time…….

Like the here and now my friend…..

So do your level best…..

You gotta make it……. happen….!!

I wish you

(Love Eternal)

Piano intro, calm, soft and easing into a wafting melody for the verses

(George Michael ‘esk, Jesus to a child)

Are my eyes alone……….deceiving………..

The sense of wonder…….

My heart would love…….

To believe in………….?

Show me something…………always moving………

A day spent together……

Here rapid attractions….

(that?) we begin proving…………………

(pace changes)

Feelings……..the cravings……….

You……..’re……. simply…… ama…zing…….!!

Peaceful…..the way we….’re…… feeling………..

Hot… yet cold….can burn…

Our spirits alive…..

And pulses reeling……..

Faithful to each other………forever flying……

That my eternal hope……..

Could yet die in……….

Chorus:

And I wish…. you’d…. be mine…..

So bring… me to… heaven…….

If…..you would…..be mine….

(tempo change)

Once upon….. a precious time…….

I fell into….your eyes…..

Gifted by a perfect love……

Where you….would fall in mine……

(Middle 8)

(melancholic)

The effect of rainfall splashing the pavements and soaking the earth.

Desire….becomes a fire…..I’m… fighting………

Struck with…… a force…..

Hear the thunder roar…..

Feel the lightening………

So we wanted to know…….passion arriving….

What kind….of world….

Could I….live alone……

Or ever……survive in…………?

(pace change, same as after v1)

Knowing…….your…. love……..

Would be…….sim….ply….ama….zing………!!

Loving you has been……….amazing……

I fought my… feelings……

Got lost in your smile….

You’re driving me crazy…..

Please hold my hand…….discover together….

Let’s make….sweet love…..

Our breastplate of hope…….

And enjoy it forever…….

Chorus:

And I wish…. you’d…. be mine…..

So bring… me to… heaven…….

If…..you would…..be mine….

I’d know……that….I’m ….livin’…..

Gifted by a perfect love……

Where you….would fall in mine……

And I wish…. you’d…. be mine…..

So bring… me to… heaven…….

If…..you would…..be mine….

I’d know……that….I’m ….livin’…..

(tempo change)

Once upon….. a precious time…….

I fell into….your eyes…..

Gifted by a perfect love……

Where you….would fall in mine……

Then:

I wish you…..my lover……

Till time… be ……no more…….!!!
