don’t worry darling,
that’s not forever in my eyes,
just want to hold you for a while,
nobody knows how it will go,
spending this night together;

i can hardly believe it’s true,
i can hardly believe it’s you,
a celebration…

turn it on and let it fly away,
and let’s see what we can do,
oh little darling, it’s really something,
when it’s me and when it’s you;

i’m going to give you everything i have,
until the night is through,
did you ever believe in love?
did you ever believe in love?

i’ve got a feeling,
i’ve got a feeling in my heart,
we’d be together from the start,
something inside you just cannot hide,
is waiting the time to show it;

i can hardly believe it’s true,
i can hardly believe it’s you,
a celebration…

turn it on and let it fly away,
and let’s see what we can do,
oh little darling, ain’t you something,
when it’s me and when it’s you;

i’m going to give you everything i have,
until the night is through,
did you ever believe in love?
did you ever believe in love?
well this is it!

something inside you cannot hide,
is waiting the time to show it;

and i can hardly believe it’s true,
i can hardly believe it’s you,
a celebration…

and this is it!

shadows darken and the day is done
and i cannot believe that it’s true and you are gone
you were always here beside me
you gave so much as the queen of hearts
to those without love
you were their voice when they could not speak
a touch for the dying

and as we say goodbye i can hardly see
for the tears in my eyes
you are shining like a million suns
and there’s a new star up in heaven tonight

i wonder if you ever knew
how much you were loved
and in the darkness of a lonely room
were you empty inside?
as you fade away it’s like a light
has gone from the world
but i am sure that there is a place
where it will burn on forever

and as we say goodbye i can hardly see
for the tears in my eyes
you are shining like a million suns
and there’s a new star up in heaven tonight

and there’s a new star up in heaven tonight

naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
i think i’ve gone and made my big mistake,
i took her swimming, we had a fight,
now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,

and it looks like i’m heading for a night on the river,
under the moon and the stars,
looks like i’m heading for a night on the river,
me and my beating heart, singing in the dark.

naked and frozen at the side of a lake,
if she was here i wouldn’t hesitate,
to tell her how, the way things are,
with a long conversation in the back of a car,

and it looks like i’m heading for a night on the river,
under the moon and the stars,
could be i’m heading for a night on the river,
just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;

i think she owes me an explanation,
she’s got the whip hand in this situation,
if i try to tell her just the way i feel,
it could start the whole thing all over again,

ooh, i think i’m heading for a night on the river,
under the moon and the stars,
could be i’m heading for a night on the river,
but i see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,

ooh, could be we’re heading for a mm-mm,
under the moon and the stars,
could be we’re heading for a mm-mm
just you and me and our beating hearts,
we’re singing in the dark…

it’s a rainy night in paris,
and the harbour lights are low.
he must leave his love in paris
before the winter snow;

on a lonely street in paris
he held her close to say,
"we’ll meet again in paris
when there are flowers on the champs-elysees."

"how long" she said "how long,
and will your love be strong,
when you’re across the sea,
will your heart remember me?…"

then she gave him words to turn to,
when the winter nights were long,
"nous serons encore amoureux
avec les couleurs du printemps…"

"and then" she said "and then,
our love will grow again."
ah but in her eyes he sees
her words of love are only words to please…

and now the lights of paris
grow dim and fade away,
and i know by the light of paris
i will never see her again…

a spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
’twas light years of time since his mission did start
and over a village he halted his craft
and it hung in the sky like a star
just like a star —–

he followed a light and came down to a shed
where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
a bright light of silver shone round his head
and he had the face of an angel
and they were afraid —–

then the stranger spoke
he said" do not fear
i come from a planet a long way from here
and i bring a message for mankind to hear"
and suddenly the sweetest music filled the air —-

and it went la la ——
peace and goodwill to all men
and love for the child ——

this lovely music went trembling through the ground
and many were wakened on hearing that sound
and travelers on the road
the village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
which shone all around —–

and just before dawn
at the paling of the sky
the stranger returned and said " now i must fly
when two thousand years of your time has gone by
this song will begin once again, to a baby’s cry –"
and it went la la ——
this song will begin once again
to a baby’s cry —-
and it goes la la —-
peace and goodwill to all men
and love for the child —-

oh the whole world is waiting
waiting to hear the song again
there are thousands standing on the edge of the world
and a star is moving somewhere
the time is nearly here
this song will begin once again
to a baby’s cry —-
