Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life, you were only waiting,
for this moment to arise.

Black bird singing in the dead of night.
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life, you were only waiting,
for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly.
Blackbird fly.
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly.
Blackbird fly.
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird ~ The Beatles//Evan Rachel Wood

All those days,
watching from the windows.
All those years,
outside looking in.
All that time,
never even knowing,
just how blind I’ve been.

Now I’m here,
blinking in the starlight.
Now I’m here,
suddenly I see.
Standing here,
it’s oh, so clear,
I’m where I’m meant to be.

And at last, I see the light.
And it’s like the fog has lifted.
And at last, I see the light.
And it’s like the sky is new.
And it’s warm and real and bright.
And the world has somehow shifted.
All at once, everything looks different.
Now that I see you.

All those days,
chasing down a daydream.
All those years,
living in a blur.
All that time,
never truly seeing,
things the way they were
Now she’s here,
shining in the starlight.
Now she’s here,
suddenly I know.
If she’s here,
It’s crystal clear,
I’m where I’m meant to go.

And at last, I see the light.
And it’s like the fog has lifted.
And at last, I see the light.
And it’s like the sky is new.
And it’s warm and real and bright.
And the world has somehow shifted.

All at once,
everything is different.
Now that I see you.
Now that I, see you.

I See The Light ~ Tangled//Zachary Levi & Mandy Moore

All those nights, I lay in bed.
Thoughts of you running through my head.
But I never thought the things in my head,
could really happen in my bed.

All those years I missed the signs,
couldn’t read between the lines.
Who’d have thought I would see the day,
where I’d hear you say what I heard you say.
And now, I find,
what was always in my mind,
was in your mind too.
Who knew?
Fantasies come true.

And now, I see,
That what I’d always dreamed of,
was meant to be.
You and me, me and you.
Fantasies come true.
You and me lived in fantasy,
but soon will be a reality.

I want you to know,
the time that we’ve spent,
how great it’s been,
how much it’s meant.

Gosh, I don’t know what to say.
I’m really glad you feel that way,
cuz I’m afraid that I like you more,
than I’ve ever liked any guy before.

Cause now, my love,
I’m getting what I’ve always been dreaming of.
So are you, oh baby,
fantasies come true.

And now, I swear,
that when you want me, I’m gonna be right there.
To care for you, that’s what I’m gonna do.
Make your fantasies come true.
Fantasies come true.

Fantasies Come True ~ Avenue Q

Happiness is, finding a pencil.
Pizza with sausage.
Telling the time.
Happiness is, learning to whistle.
Tying your shoe for the very first time.
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band.
And happiness is walking hand in hand.

Happiness is, two kinds of ice cream.
Knowing a secret.
Climbing a tree.
Happiness is, five different crayons.
Catching a firefly, setting him free.
Happiness is being alone every now and then.
And happiness is coming home again.

Happiness is, morning and evening.
Day time and night time, too.
For happiness is anyone, and anything at all,
that’s loved by you.

Happiness is, having a sister.
Sharing a sandwich.
Getting along.
Happiness is singing together when day is through.
And happiness is those who sing with you.

Happiness is, morning and evening.
Day time and night time, too.
For happiness is anyone and anything at all,
that’s loved by you.

Happiness ~ You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.

I don’t have time for dancing,
that’s just gonna have to wait a while.
Ain’t got time for messing around,
and it’s not my style.
This old town can slow you down,
people taking the easy way.
But I know exactly where I’m going,
getting closer and closer every day.

And I’m almost there, I’m almost there.
People down here think I’m crazy, but I don’t care
Trials and tribulations, I’ve had my share.
There ain’t nothing gonna stop me now,
‘cause I’m almost there.

I remember Daddy told me, fairytales can come true.
You gotta make ‘em happen, it all depends on you.
So I work real hard each and every day,
now things are surely going my way.
Just doing what I do.
Look out boys, I’m coming through.

And I’m almost there, I’m almost there.
People gonna come here from everywhere,
and I’m almost there, I’m almost there.

There’s been trials and tribulations,
you know I’ve had my share.
But I’ve climbed the mountain, I’ve crossed the river,
and I’m almost there.
I’m almost there.
I’m almost there.

Almost There ~ Princess and the Frog//Anika Noni Rose

Gotta feelin’ twenty-one is gonna be a good year.
Especially if you and me, see it in together.

Now you’re twenty-one,
you’re ready for a new year.
Let’s marry now,

I had no reason to be over-optimistic,
but somehow when you smile,
I can brave bad weather.

Gotta feelin’ twenty-one is gonna be a good year.
Especially if you and me, see it in together.

Your future is with me now.

but somehow when you smile,

What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy,
he saw it all.

You didn’t hear it,
you didn’t see it.
You won’t say nothing, to no one,
ever in your life.
You never heard it, how absurd it’ll seem,
without any proof.
You didn’t hear it,
you didn’t see it.
You never heard it, not a word of it.
You won’t say nothing, to no one,
never tell a soul, what you know is the truth.

Twenty-One/What About The Boy ~ The Who//Tommy

Let his flesh not be torn,
let his blood leave no stain.
Though they beat him,
let him feel no pain.
Let his bones never break,
and however they try to destroy him,
Let him never die, let him never die.

What good is this chanting?
I don’t even know what I’m reading.
I don’t even know which trick I ought to try.
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my generous supply.

No good deed goes unpunished.
No act of charity goes unresented.
No good deed goes unpunished.
That’s my new creed.
My road of good intentions lead where such roads always lead.
No good deed,
goes unpunished.

One question haunts and hurts,
too much, too much to mention.
Was I really seeking good,
or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are,
when looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that’s all good deeds are,
maybe that’s the reason why.

No good deed goes unpunished.
All helpful urges should be circumvented.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Sure, I meant well.
Well, look at what well-meant did.
All right, enough, so be it.
So be it, then.
Let all Oz be agreed,
I’m wicked through and through.
Since I can not succeed,
Fiyero, saving you,
I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again.
Ever again.
No good deed will I do,
again.

No Good Deed ~ Wicked

Highway run, into the midnight sun.
Wheels go round and round, you’re on my mind.
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight,
sending all my love along the wire.
They say that the road ain’t no place to start a family.
Right down the line it’s been you and me.
And loving a music man, ain’t always what it’s supposed to be.

You stand by me.
I’m forever yours; faithfully.

Circus life, under the big top world.
We all need the clowns to make us laugh.
Through space and time, always another show.
Wondering where I am, lost without you.
And being apart ain’t easy on this love affair.
Two strangers learn to fall in love again,
I get the joy of rediscovering you.

You stand by me.
I’m forever yours; faithfully.
Oh, faithfully.
I’m still yours.
I’m forever yours.
Ever yours.
Faithfully.

Faithfully ~ Journey

I’m on my way, from misery to happiness today.
I’m on my way, from misery to happiness today.
I’m on my way to what I want from this world.
And years from now you’ll make it to the next world.
And everything that you receive up yonder,
is what you gave to me the day I wandered.

I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday.
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday.
I took the road that brought me to your home town.
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down.
I walked the streets to find the one I’d looked for.
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door.

And now that I don’t want for anything.
I’d have Al Jolson sing, I’m sitting on top of the world.

I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can.
I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best to do the best I can.
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear.
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear.
To keep the past, the past and not the present.
To try and learn when you teach me a lesson.

And now that I don’t want for anything,
I’d have Al Jolson sing, I’m sitting on top of the world.

I’m On My Way ~ The Proclaimers

Isn’t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.

Isn’t it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
one who can’t move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I’d stopped opening doors,
finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair.
Sure of my lines; no one is there.

Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother, they’re here.

Isn’t it rich?
Isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late,
in my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.

Send in the Clowns ~ A Little Night Music

There’s a place for us.
Somewhere, a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air,
wait for us, somewhere.

There’s a time for us.
Someday, a time for us.
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to care,
someday.

Somewhere.
We’ll find a new way of living,
We’ll find a way of forgiving.
Somewhere.

There’s a place for us.
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we’re halfway there.
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there.
Somehow; someday; somewhere.

Somewhere ~ West Side Story

Strange, dear,
but true, dear.
When I’m close to you, dear,
the stars fill the sky,
so in love with you am I.

Even without you,
my arms fold about you.
You know, darling why,
so in love with you am I.

In love with the night mysterious,
the night when you first were there.
In love with my joy delirious,
when I knew that you might care.

So taunt me and hurt me.
Deceive me, desert me.
I’m yours ‘til I die,
So in love, so in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.

So taunt me and hurt me.
Deceive me, desert me.
I’m yours ‘til I die,
So in love, so in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.

So In Love ~ Kiss Me Kate

If I go to Washington,
Will I be on my own?
Because if I go to Washington,
Who will be my chaperone?

We always knew you were a winner.
We saw it when you smiled.
Start from the beginning,
when you were a beginner.
You were the perfect child.
We always knew, we always knew,
you were a champion.
You sadness filled my room.
Dear, if you should feel my gloom,
blame it on me.
Blame it on your Daddily and Mamily,
‘cause depression runs in our family.

I love you.
I love you,
I love everything about you, dear.
And I swear it’s true, I love you.
I love you, and my dad says,
I love you.
I love everything about you.
And baby it’s true, I love you.

I wrote you a letter,
how I found the spelling bee such fun.
Mama, Mama, Mama; but you didn’t react.
And you never asked me, if I’d join you in the bombay sun.
Mama, Mama, Mama; I had quietly packed.
When are you returning?
I know we agreed.
Tell me what you’re learning.
Ma, I have, Oh God, this need.

I think Dad is angry, Ma,
and I do not know what to do.
Mama, Mama, Mama; Shanti Shanti and Om.
I think he takes out on me,
what he wants to take out on you.
Mama, Mama, Mama.

How I wish you were home.
How I wish you were home.
How I wish you were, wish you were home.

We always knew you were a winner
A bathing beauty, you.
God, we love the way you grew,
Since you were born.
Olive, we couldn’t be prouder.
Please let me say it, one time louder.

I love you,
I love you.
I love everything about you, dear.
And I swear, baby, it’s true.
I love you.
Mama, I love you.
I love you, Mama.
I love you.
I love everything about you, dear.
And I swear, baby, it’s true.
I love you.
I love you.

The I Love You Song ~ The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Daddy played piano,
played it very well.
Music from those hands could
catch you like a spell.
He could make you love him,
‘fore the tune was done.
You have your daddy’s hands.
You are your daddy’s son.

Daddy never knew that
you were on your way.
He had other ladies,
and other tunes to play.
When he up and left me,
I just up and run.
Only thing in my head;
you were your daddy’s son.

Couldn’t hear no music,
couldn’t see no light.
Mama, she was frightened,
crazy from the fright.
Tears without no comfort,
screams without no sound.
Only darkness and pain,
the anger and pain,
the blood and the pain.
I buried my heart in the ground.
In the ground.
When I buried you,
in the ground.

Daddy played piano,
bet he’s playing still.
Mama can’t forget him,
don’t suppose I will.
God wants no excuses.
I have only one.
You had your daddy’s hands.
Forgive me.
You were your daddy’s son.

Your Daddy’s Son ~ Ragtime

Shed a smoke, broken in,
tale of woe, oh oh.
Commiserating , so hard to let go.
I’m on your back scratching early,
and your candidate.
I hope you never know how hard it is to,
hard it is to wait.

Hey beautiful, I seen you comin’.
Oh no you don’t walk away from me.
Hey beautiful, hey beautiful.
Hey, hey, hey beautiful.

Gotta walk, gotta list,
gotta hall of fame.
I got an asterisk next to your name.
Grab a cup, drink it up,
make a battle plan
Are we ever up to the task at,
to the task at hand?

Hey beautiful, I seen you comin’.
Oh no you don’t walk away from me.
Hey beautiful, hey beautiful.
Hey, hey, hey beautiful.

I don’t know, if I go.
But if I go, I go alone.
I don’t know, if i go.
But if I go, I go alone.
I don’t know if I go.
I don’t know if I go.
Well if I go, go now.

Hey Beautiful ~ The Solids

What’s the time?
Well it’s gotta be close to midnight.
My body’s talking to me, it says,
time for danger.
It says, I wanna commit a crime,
wanna be the cause of a fight.
Wanna put on a tight skirt, and flirt,
with a stranger.

I’ve had a knack from way back,
at breaking the rules once I learn the games.
Get up, life’s too quick,
I know someplace sick,
where this chick’ll dance in the flames.
We don’t need any money.
I always get in for free.
You can get in too,
If you get in with me.

Let’s go out tonight.
I have to go, out tonight.
You wanna play?
Let’s run away.
We won’t be back before it’s Christmas day.
Take me out tonight, meow.

When I get a wink from the doorman,
do you know how lucky you’ll be?
That you’re on line with the feline,
of Avenue B.

Let’s go out tonight.
I have to go, out tonight.
You wanna prowl?
Be my night owl.
Well take my hand, we’re gonna howl.
Out tonight.

In the evening, I’ve got to roam.
Can’t sleep in the city of neon and chrome.
Feels too damn much like home,
when the Spanish babies cry.
So let’s find a bar,
so dark we forget who we are.
Where all the scars of the nevers and maybes, die.

Let’s go out tonight.
I have to go, out tonight.
You’re sweet,
wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat?
Just take me, out tonight.
Please take me, out tonight.
Don’t forsake me, out tonight.
I’ll let you make me, out tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.
Tonight.

Out Tonight ~ Rent

Superboy and the invisible girl,
son of steel and daughter of air.
He’s a hero, a lover, a prince.
She’s not there.

Superboy and the invisible girl,
everything a kid oughtta be.
He’s immortal, forever alive.
Then there’s me.

I wish I could fly,
And magically appear and disappear.
I wish I could fly,
I’d fly far away from here.

Superboy and the invisible girl,
he’s the one you wish would appear.
He’s your hero, your savior, your son.
He’s not here.
I am here.

You know that’s not true.
You’re our little pride and joy, our perfect plan.
You know I love you,
I love you as much as I can.

Take a look at the invisible girl.
Here she is, clear as the day.
Please look closely and find her before she fades away.

Superboy and the invisible girl,
son of steel and daughter of air.
He’s a hero, a lover, a prince.
She’s not there.
She’s not there.
She’s not there.
She’s not there.

Superboy and the Invisible Girl ~ Next To Normal

We all lead such elaborate lives,
wild ambitions in our sights.
How an affair of the heart survives,
Days apart and hurried nights.

Seems quite unbelievable to me.
I don’t want to live like that.
Seems quite unbelievable to me.
I don’t want to love like that.
I just want our time to be,
slower and gentler, wiser, free.

We all live in extravagant times.
Playing games we can’t all win.
Unintended emotional crimes.
Take some out, take others in.

I’m so tired of all we’re going through.
I don’t want to live like that.
I jsut want to be with you.
Now and forever, peaceful, true.

This may not be the moment,
to tell you face to face.
But I could wait forever,
for the perfect time and place.

We all lead such elaborate lives.
We don’t know whose words are true.
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives.
Hard to know who’s loving who.

Too many choices tear us apart,
I don’t want to live like that.

Too many choices tear us apart,
I don’t want to love like that.
I just want to touch your heart.
May this confession,
be the start.

Elaborate Lives ~ Aida//Adam Pascal & Heather Headley

Poor, sweet baby.
Poor, poor, sweet, sweet baby.
Show me where it hurts, I’ll tell you how to make it well.
I’ve won lots of loving cups, for playing show and tell.

My poor, sweet baby.
Poor, poor, sweet, sweet baby
When you need a shoulder, come and try mine on for size.
I’m real good at holding hands and really great at drying eyes.

Just try me, cry me, all your tears.
Why deny me, the pleasure of drying ‘em?
Stopping you cryin’ em.

Don’t despair for, smiles are what I’m there for.
You won’t have to call on me, I’ll always be right here.
Here to kiss and cuddle you and, whisper in your little ear,
don’t fear.

There, there, baby.
Poor, sweet baby.
Poor, sweet baby…
Mama’s here.
