Tell Me Now (What You you see)
Hans Zimmer feat.Moya Brennan


Long Ago,
Your name a shadow,
In my dreams the white
Brave still searching
Raining Winds fall apart
I believe your heart

Tell me now
What you see
Tell me what you feel
Now you're here
Tell me

Tell me now
What you know
Never let me go
Tell me now
What you see

Who Cries from the hill
The mist creeps from your eyes
Your banner will promise
Let's remember the start
I believe your heart

Tell me now
What you know
Never let me go
Tell me what
You see
Tell me now
What you see

Tell me what you feel
Now your here tell me
Tell me now
What you know
Never let me go
Tell me now
What you see

Falling in love with you
Written by Barry Gibb/Albhy Galuten

I got your love on me baby, leavin' me was yesterday
Oh, I got to be the one,you won't ever see me running away
Ah, when the day is done and I think of you
I get a feeling I just can't control

Ah, falling in love with you baby,
When I really should be sayin goodbye
And the glow of you livin' inside me,
Got me knowin' we can never die

Fallin' in love with you baby
Is like a dream without an end
Shine all your love on me baby
Lead me to your ecstasy

In the heat of the night you can play with me baby
Take me where you want me to be
Ah, when the night is done and I think of you
I get a feeling way down in my soul, ah

Fallin' in love with you baby,
When I really should be sayin' goodbye
And the glow of you livin' inside me
Got me knowin' we can never die

Fallin' in love with you baby
Is like a dream without an end
How can we go wrong on a night like this
When we lie in the heart of your tenderness
Oh don't let go my darlin' 'cause I'm

Fallin' in love with you baby
When I really should be sayin' goodbye
And the glow of you livin' inside me
Got me knowin' we can never die

Fallin' in love with you baby
Is like a dream without an end
Fallin' in love with you baby

When I really should be sayin' goodbye
And the glow of you livin' inside me
Got me knowin' we can never die
Fallin' in love with you baby

ELO's "Shine a little love"

"Shine a Little Love" is a song by ELO, the Electric Light Orchestra. This song is the first track on their album Discovery (1979). The song later on became one of their biggest worldwide hits.



 "Shine A Little Love"
Written by Jeff Lynne

Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize.
I guess you had your way.
You see I gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say.
But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day.

(Chorus)
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see.

Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn
Remember,tonight we're gonna say.
We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on.
I know you've heard it all before.
But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more.

(Repeat Chorus)

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better.
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her.
Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand.
And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand.

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you.
I really can't believe.
We're walkin' out into the world tonight.
We'll do it all again until the break of light.
And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

(Repeat Chorus)

Cole Porter's Let's do it (Let's fall in love)

Porter reintroduced himself to Broadway with the musical Paris (1928), which featured one of his greatest "list" songs, "Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)".

The song has been revived many times since 1928, although usually with only a limited portion of the original lyrics. A punk rock version performed by Joan Jett and Paul Westerberg was used as the theme song in the 1995 movie Tank Girl.

Porter's original opening line for the chorus was:
And that's why, Chinks do it, Japs do it

The above referenced original opening stanza of the chorus were changed to the now much better known refrain: "Birds do it, Bees do it" by Cole Porter when he realized that the line was offensive.



Let's do it (Let's fall in love)

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing Spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love


And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love


Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love


I've heard that lizards and frogs do it
Layin' on a rock
They say that roosters do it
With a doodle and cock


Some Argentines, without means do it
I hear even Boston beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
starts to sing Spring spring spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding ding ding
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune


The most refined lady bugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs they do it
What's the use of moth balls


The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love


I'm sure sometimes on the sly you do it
Maybe even you and I might do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Chaplin's "Smile"

I guess you've heard this phrase "Smile, though your heart is aching, Smile, even though it's breaking"...Did you know that it was Charlie Chaplin who composed the music?!

The song "Smile" was orginally used as a instrumental theme in the soundtrack for the movie, Modern Times 1936. Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added lyrics to it in 1954.

Singer Michael Jackson recorded the song for his 1995 double album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I.

The song was originally sung by Nat King Cole, charted in 1954. It was also covered by Cole's daughter, Natalie, on her 1991 album, Unforgettable...With Love.

Cole's recording reached the #10 position on the Billboard Charts in 1954. Over the years, it became a standard which many artist have recorded including Tony Bennett, Barbara Streisand and Rob Stewart.

Smile, though your heart is aching,
Smile, even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky-
You'll get by.
If you smile through your pain and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.
