1. Probably On Thursday

Can you see all of me?
I am hiding nothing
Must you stay so far away?
Won't you whisper something?
You're going to leave me
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to tell me

You'll be unfaithful
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday

Every day, every night
Makes the same impression
All I need and all I want
Is a true confession
Each silent moment
Tells me the story
Tells me the story

You'll be unfaithful
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday

I've spent all my precious time
Hoping you will love me
You are trying hard to find
Ways to get rid of me
You'll never listen
You want to hurt me
You want to hurt me

You'll be unfaithful
Possibly on Wednesday
Probably on Thursday

You're going to leave me
You don't have to tell me
You don't have to tell me
You're going to leave me
Possibly on Wednesday
Probably on Thursday

Possibly on Wednesday
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday
Probably on Thursday

2. The Perfect Year

Bring out the old, bring in the new
A midnight wish to share with you
Your lips are warm, my head is light
Were we alive before tonight?

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

No need to hear the music play
Our eyes say all there is to say
The clock has struck
The die is cast, let's take a chance
Forget the past

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

I don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything I want is here
If you're with me, next year will be
The perfect year

It's New Year's Eve, and hopes are high
Dance one year in, kiss one good-bye
Another chance, another start
So many dreams to tease the heart

We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything we want is here
And face to face, we will embrace
The perfect year

We don't need a crowded ballroom
Everything we want is here
And face to face, w will embrace
The perfect year

3. Only You (with Cliff Richard)

Cliff
Only you
Have the power to move me
And together we'll make
The whole world move in sympathy
But I could not see before
Sarah
Only you
Have the power to move me
Both
Take me, hold me, mould me
Change me and improve me
Cliff
It's not funny anymore.
There was I
Sarah
There was I
Cliff
Wondering why
Sarah
I was wondering why
Cliff
Every day
Both
Disappeared into the distance
Sarah
Now with you
The light is shining through
Both
You gave me life not just existence
Cliff
Only you
Sarah
You are the starlight
Cliff
Have the power to move me
Both
And together we'll make
The whole world move in sympathy
Cliff
Only you,
Have the power to move me
Sarah
Move me
There was I
Cliff
There was I
Sarah
Wondering why
Cliff
Wondering why
Both
Every day disappeared into the distance
Now with you
The light is shining through
You gave me life not just existence
Sarah
Only you
Cliff
Only you
Both
Have the power to move me
And together we'll make
The whole world move in sympathy
Sarah
But I could not see before
Cliff
I couldn't see it before
Sarah
That only you
Both
Have the power to move me
Take me, hold me, mould me
Change me and improve me
Sarah
Only you
Cliff
Only you,
Sarah
Have the power
Both
To move me

4. Love Changes Everything

Love, love changes everything: hands and faces, earth and sky.
Love, love changes everything: how you live and how you die.
Love can make the summer fly, or a night seem like a lifetime.
Yes, love, love changes everything, now I tremble at your name.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Love, love changes everything: days are longer, words mean more.
Love, love changes everything: pain is deeper than before.
Love will turn your world around, and that world will last forever.
Yes, love, love changes everything, brings you glory, brings you shame.
Nothing in the world will ever be the same.

Off into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years.
Love bursts in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears.
Love makes fools of everyone: all the rules we make are broken.
Yes, love, love changes everything: live or perish, in its flame.
Love will never ever let you be the same.
Love will never ever let you be the same.

5. Seeing Is Believing (with Michael Ball)

Michael
 
Seeing is believing,
And in my arms I see her:
She's here,
Really here,
Really mine now --
She seems at home here...
 
Seeing is believing,
I dream that it would be her:
At last
Life is full,
Life is fine now...
 
Whatever happens,
One thing is certain:
Each time I see
A train go by,
I'll think of us,
The night, the sky
Forever..
 
Seeing is believing,
Who knows where this is going
Who cares, it's enough simply knowing
I'm going with you
 
Sarah
 
Seeing is believing
I never thought I'd be here
He's young, very young,
But appealing --
I feel I know him...
 
Seeing is believing
And I like what I see here.
I like where I am, what I'm feeling...
 
What are we doing?
Can you believe it?
A starving actress and a star-struck boy --
Oh well, we might as well enjoy
The moment...
 
Seeing is believing
And everything is saying
It's real, it's no game that we're playing
We're staying in love
 
Michael
 
Can you believe it?
Seeing is believing
 
Sarah
 
And I like what I see here
 
Michael
 
I like where I am, what I'm feeling
 
Sarah
 
Whatever happened, we have this moment
Who needs tomorrow when we have today?
 
Michael
 
Tonight the music might just play forever
 
Both
 
Seeing is believing!
My life is just beginning!
We touched,
And my head
Won't stop spinning,
From winning
Your love!

6. Think Of Me (with Steve Barton)

Christine (Sarah)
 
Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while --
please promise me
you'll try.
 
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free --
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me ...
 
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea --
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me ...
 
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been ...
 
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
 
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
 
Recall those days,
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do --
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you ...
 
Raoul (Steve)
 
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?
 
What a change!
You're really
not a bit
the gawkish girl
that once you were ...
 
She may
not remember
me, but
I remember
her ...
 
Christine (Sarah)
 
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea --
but please
promise me
that sometimes
you will think
ah-ah-ah-ah-aaah-of me!

7. Any Dream Will Do

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain, what I thought I knew.
Far, far away, someone was weeping,
But the world was sleeping.
Any dream will do.

I wore my coat, with golden lining,
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new.
And in the east, the dawn was breaking,
And the world was waking.
Any dream will do.

A crash of drums, a flash of light,
My golden coat, flew out of sight.
The colours faded into darkness,
I was left alone.

May I return to the beginning?
The light is dimming, and the dream is too.
The world and I, we are still waiting,
Still hestating.
Any dream will do.

Any dream will do.

A crash of drums, a flash of light,
My golden coat, flew out of sight.
The colours faded into darkness,
I was left alone.

May I return to the beginning?
The light is dimming, and the dream is too.
The world and I, we are still waiting,
Still hestating.
Any dream will do.

Any dream, any dream, .... any dream will do
Any dream, any dream, .... any dream will do

8. I Don't Know How To Love Him

I don't know how to love him,
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man, he's just a man.
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways:
He's just one more

Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love - let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so.

I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away,
I wouldn't want to know -
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

9. Too Much In Love To Care (with John Barrowman)

Sarah
 
When I was a kid, I played on the street
I always loved illusion
I thought make-believe was truer than life
But now it's all confusion
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?
 
John
 
If you were smart, you would keep on walking
Out of my life as fast as you can
I'm not the one you should pin your hopes on
You're falling for the wrong kind of man
This is crazy! You know we should call it a day
Sound advice, great advice
Let's throw it away
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I haven't got a prayer
If I'm a fool, well,
I'm too much in love to care
I knew where I was, I'd given up hope
Made friends with disillusion
No one in my life, but I look at you
And now it's all confusion
 
Sarah
 
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?
I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
I should hate you
There I was, the world in my hand
Can one kiss, kiss away
Everything I planned?
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I'm floating in mid-air
I know it's wrong, but
I'm too much in love to care
 
Both
 
I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face
This is crazy! You know we should call it a day
 
John
 
Sound advice
 
Sarah
 
Great advice
 
Both
 
Let's throw it away...
I can't control all the things I'm feeling
We're floating in mid-air
If we are fools, well,
We're too much in love to care
If we are fools, well,
We're too much in love to care!

10. The Phantom Of The Opera (with Steve Harley)

Christine (Sarah)
Beneath the opera house
I know he's there.
He's with me on the stage,
He's everywhere.
And when my song begins,
I always find
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my mind.
The phantom (Steve)
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet.
My power over you
Grows stronger yet.
You'll give your love to me
For love is blind.
The phantom of the opera is now
Your mastermind.
Christine
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear;
I am the mask you wear,
The phantom
It's me they hear.
Christine / Phantom
Your/My spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
The phantom of the opera is there
Inside my/your mind
Choir (very, very soft)
The phantom of the opera
Is there
The phantom of the opera
The phantom
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet.
My power over you
Grows stronger yet.
Christine / Phantom
I'll/You'll give my/your love to you/me
For love is blind.
The phantom of the opera is now
My/Your mastermind.
The phantom (spoken)
Sing, my angel of music ...
Christine
He's there,
The phantom of the opera.
Christine starts wailing

The phantom (spoken)

Sing ...
Once again with me, our strange duet.
My power over you grows stronger and stronger.
Sing ...
My angel of music/
Sing!
Sing our strange duet -
Sing!
Christine continues wailing,
and keeps on wailing after every
sentence the Phantom sings

The phantom (spoken)

The phantom of the opera
Is now your mastermind;
I am here, inside your mind!
I am everywhere!
You're in my power.
Sing!
Sing, my angel of music!
Sing! Sing!

11. Make Up My Heart

It's time I chose between the two of them,
I'd better make a start.
Someone help me make up my heart.
Tell me how to make up my heart.

You'd think two lovers would be twice the fun,
It's tearing me apart.
Someone help me make up my heart.
Tell me how to make up my heart.

One of them is strong, one of them is good,
Both could turn out wrong.
So who gets the part?
Make up my mind, make up my heart.

I don't want one to win and one to lose.
Can't tell them yes or no.
Choosing one means letting one go.
Can't face letting one of them go.

You'd think two lovers would be twice the fun,
It's tearing me apart.
Someone help me make up my heart.

One can make me laugh, one can make me sigh,
Why tear myself in half?
So who gets the part?
Make up my mind, make up my heart.

I don't want one to win and one to lose.
Can't tell them yes or no.
Choosing one means letting one go.
Can't face letting one of them go

It's time I chose between the two of them,
I'd better make a start.
Someone help me make up my heart.

One can make me laugh, one can make me sigh,
Why tear myself in half?
So who gets the part?
Make up my mind, please, make up my heart.

One can make me laugh, one can make me sigh,
Why tear myself in half?
So who gets the part?
Someone help me make up my heart.

12. No Llores Por Mí Argentina

(Don't cry for me Argentina - Spanish version)

 
 
Será dificil de comprender
Que a pesar de estar hoy aquí
Soy del pueblo jamás lo podré olvidar
Debéis creerme,
Mis lujos son solamente un disfraz
Un juego burgués, nada más
Las reglas del ceremonial

Tenía que aceptar debí cambiar
Y dejar de vivir en lo gris
Siempre tras la ventana,
Sin lugar bajo el sol
Busqué ser libre,
Pero jamás dejaré de soñar
Y solo podré conseguir
La fe que querrás compartir

No llores por mí Argentina
Mi alma está contigo
Mi vida entera te la dedico
Mas no te alejes, te necesito

Jamás poderes ambicioné
Mentiras dijeron de mí
Mi lugar vuestro es, por vosotros luché
Yo sólo quiero sentiros muy cerca,
Poder intentar
Abrir mi ventana y saber
Que nunca me vais a olvidar

No llores por mí Argentina ...

No llores por mí Argentina
Mi alma está contigo
Mi vida entera te la dedico
Mas no te alejes, te necesito

Qué mas podré decir
Para convenceros de mi verdad
Si aún queréis dudar, mirad mis ojos ved
Cómo lloran de amor

No llores por mí Argentina ...

               Don't cry for me Argentina

It will be difficult to understand
That even though I am here today
I am from the people, and I will never forget it
You must believe me,
My luxuries are only a disguise
A snob game, nothing more
The rules of the ceremonial

I had to accept and change myself
And stop living in mediocrity
Always behind the window,
With no place under the sun
I tried to be free,
But I never stopped dreaming
And I can only get
The faith you want to share

Don't cry for me Argentina
My soul is with you
My whole life through I dedicate to you
But do not go away, I need you

I never wanted power, they lied about me
My place is yours, I fought for you
I only want to feel you near me
To open my window
And know
That you'll never forget me
Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina ...

Don't cry for me Argentina
My soul is with you
My whole life through I dedicate to you
But do not go away, I need you

What else can I say to convince you
that I am speaking the truth?
If you still want to protect yourself,
Look into my eyes and see how they cry for love

Don't cry for me Argentina ...

13. Everything's Alright

Mary Magdalene (Sarah Brightman)
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
(oh) Don't you know
Everything's alright
Yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try
We'll get by
So forget all about us tonight
Apostles' Women
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes
Mary Magdalene
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
(oh) Then you'll feel
Everything's all right
Yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight
Apostles' Women
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes
Judas (Gary Martin)
Woman your fine ointment
Brand new and expensive
Could have been saved for the poor
Why has it been wasted?
We could have raised maybe
Three hundred silver pieces or more
People who are hungry
People who are starving
Thay matter more
Than your feet and hair
Mary Magdalene
Try not to get worried
Try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you
(oh) Don't you know
Everything's all right
Yes everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try
We'll get by
So forget all about us tonight
Apostles' Women
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes
Jesus (Bogdan Kominowksi)
Surely you're not saying
We have the resources
To save the poor from their lot?
There will be poor always
Pathetically struggling
Look at the good things you've got!
Think
While you still have me
Move
While you still see me
You'll be lost
You'll be so, so sorry
When I'm gone
Mary Magdalene
Sleep and I shall soothe you
Calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead
(oh) then you'll feel
Everything's alright
Yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight
Apostles' Women & Mary Magdalene
Close your eyes
Alose your eyes
And relax
Think of nothing tonight
Men
Everything's all right
Yes everything's all right yes
(The last verses are repeated several times)

14. Whistle Down The Wind

Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend

So try and stem the tide
Then you'll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky
Try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there
So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there

Howl at the stars
Whisper when you're sleeping
I'll be there to hold you
I'll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping
Make it clear and strong
So the whole night long
Every signal that you send
Until the very end
I will not abandon you
My precious friend

So whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Every signal that you send
Until the very end, I'm there

So whistle down the wind
For I have always been right there
