Xanadu
I'm AliveI'm alive, and the world shines for me today I'm alive, suddenly I am here today Seems like forever (and a day) Thought I could never (feel this way) Is this really me, I'm alive, I'm alive. I'm alive, and the dawn breaks across the sky I'm alive, and the sun rises up so high Lost in another world (far away) Never another word (till today) But what can I say - I'm alive, I'm alive. Suddenly came the dawn (from the night) Suddenly I was born (into light) How can it be real, I'm alive, I'm alive. I'm alive, and the world shines for me today I'm alive, suddenly I am here today Seems like forever (and a day) Thought I could never (feel this way) Is this really me, I'm alive, I'm alive. Jeff Lynne, 3:47
The FallI see the early glow, I hear you say hello I watch the shadows fall, Idon't see you at all It's a lie - I don't believe it's so It's a lie - I see the autumn rain, falling on my window pane I hear you say goodbye, I see a tear in your eye Chorus: It's a lie - I don't believe it's so it's a lie - Chorus: Our love couldn't go wrong, how could I know? I was only dreaming And now, now that you're gone, I will go on Really believing - I take the fal I see you slip away, into another day There's no one else around, I watch the sun go down Chorus: I see you in a dream, you turn and start to go I call to you once more, guess that I'm takin' the fall. Chorus: Jeff Lynne, 3:36
Don't Walk AwayWhy do I say, don't walk away You'll be the way you were before When you don't want me anymore Don't turn around, don't ever leave A lonely room where empty days Are gathering to meet me when you're gone - Gone - how in the world will I go on (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) Chorus: Don't walk away, don't say goodbye Don't turn around, don't let it die When shadows fall, when day is done All through the night, all of my life Don't walk away Is it a dream, when will it end When everything we've ever known Has ended and I'm all alone Where will I go, where will I be The feelings that I've never shown Maybe I'll find the answer when you're gone - Gone - how in the world will I go on (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) Chorus: Jeff Lynne, 4:47
All Over The WorldEverybody all around the world Gotta tell you what I just heard There's gonna be a party all over the world I got a message on the radio But where it came from I don't really know And I heard these voices calling all over the world Chorus: All over the world, everybody got the word Everybody everywhere is gonna feel tonight Everybody walkin' down the street Everybody movin' to the beat They're gonna get hot down in the U.S.A. (New York, Detroit, L.A.) We're gonna take a trip across the sea Everybody come along with me We're gonna hit the night down in gay Pareee Chorus: London, Hamburg, Paris, Rome, Rio, Hong Kong, Tokyo, L.A., New York, Amsterdam, Monte Carlo, Shard End and, Chorus: Everybody all around the world Gotta tell you what I just heard Everybody walkin' down the street I know a place where we all can meet Everbody gonna have a good time Everybody will shine till the daylight Chorus: Jeff Lynne, 4:05
Xanadu (sung by Olivia Newton-John)A place, where nobody dared to go The love that we came to know They call it Xanadu And now, open your eyes and see What we have made is real We are in Xanadu A million lights are dancing And there you are, a shooting star An everlasting world and you're here with me Eternally Chorus: Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here) In Xanadu Xanadu - Xanadu (now we are here) In Xanadu Xanadu your neon light will shine For you Xanadu The love, echoes of long ago You needed the world to know, they are in Xanadu The dream that came through a milloin years That lived on through all the tears It came to Xanadu A million lights are dancing and there you are A shooting star, an everlasting world and you're Here with me eternally Chorus: Now that I'm here, now that you're near in Xanadu Jeff Lynne, 3:28
