1. Once in a lifetime    --   1996 remix

Cuando anochezca
Te esperare
Quiero volverte loco esta noche
Con la luna llena
Te esperare
Hoy moriras entre mis brazos
Nunca soñaste algo igual
When the night falls
I will wait for you
I want to drive you crazy tonight
With the full moon
I will wait for you
Today you will die in my arms
You never dreamed about something like this
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
When the moon is high
Passion never dies

You know you're my once in a lifetime
You know you're my once in a lifetime

Let me dive in
To pools of sin
Wet black leather on my skin
Show me the floor
Lay down the law
I need to taste you more

Refrain:
Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know you're my once in a lifetime

When you take me
And make me cry
Then I feel you satisfy
Show me the cage
It's all the rage
And lock it up

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Giving you my soul
Letting you control
Took away a part of my lifetime
Memories of you
Left me black and blue
Now I know you're once in a lifetime

Refrain

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime

Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
(song fades out)


2. First of May    --   1999 live version

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess who'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And as I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess who'll cry come first of May.

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do ...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.


3. How can heaven love me    --   PeCh remix

Note:
italic lines: Chris Thompson
roman lines: Sarah Brightman

Fell from the grace of heaven's prow
Listening as the abyss calls our name
Descending stars from golden clouds
Falling to the rage of angels
Bringer of light from on high
Bound to the earth and unable to fly ...

I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love me

You don't know   /   I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love you   /   How can heaven love me

We loved in a time before the fall
Welcome to the arms of solitude
Beneath us the heat that hearts exude
Is this really heaven?
We'd fight with the gods for our dreams
Where paradise falls eternity screams

I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love me

You don't know   /   I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love you   /   How can heaven love me

Die Welt ein Tor
Zu tausend Wüsten stumm und kalt
Wer das verlor, was du verlorst
Macht nirgends halt
The world is a gate
Thousand deserts dumb and cold
That man who lost what you lost
Is stopped by nothing
Crystallized as starlight
Lost in paradise

I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love me

You don't know   /   I don't know ...     (3x)
How can heaven love you   /   How can heaven love me

(The last lines are repeated several times)


4. Desert rose

Somewhere, she knows that he will find her
'Til every single teardrop became a desert rose
Love her, and hold your hand above hers,
Until the crossroads meet you - a legend that will come true -
No longer will you call her a desert rose

Somewhere, she knows that he will find her
'Til every single teardrop became a desert rose
Love her, and hold your hand above hers
Until the crossraods meet you - a legend that will come true -
No longer must you follow a desert rose


5. Do you wanna be loved

Thought I knew what's best for me.
I took a hold of my destiny.
Ran away...to find it.
What I didn't realize,
Just what you meant to me inside,
Now I know...you're gone.

Chorus:
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Do you wanna be loved?
Do you wanna be loved?
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Do you wanna be loved?
Do you wanna be loved?

Love will come and time will go.
But there is something you should know.
I can't live...without you.
Always thought I knew it all.
Your's is not the truth to call.
Anytime...I'm yours.

Chorus    --    2x

You lost a part of me.
And now you see, I don't wanna be free.
Why does it hurt so much,
To be beloved?
Do you wanna be loved?

You lost a part of me.
And now you see, I don't wanna be free.
Why does it hurt so much,
To be beloved?
Do you wanna be loved?

Chorus    --    2x


6. Hurry home

Lying awake, thinking of you.
It helps to see the lonely nights go through.
You've been away, seems like a year.
But one day is too long without you here.
I know it has to be that you're away.
But I will call you up,
With just one thing to say.

Hurry home. Hurry home.
Now I know,
Just what lonely really means.
Hurry home. Hurry home.
Now I know,
Just how much you mean to me.
Hurry home.

The night is so still, I turn out the light.
But there won't be a loving kiss good-night.
Then my imagination starts to play.
What if you decide to stay another day.

Hurry home. Hurry home.
Now I know,
Just what lonely really means.
Hurry home. Hurry home.
Now I know,
Just how much you mean to me.
Hurry home.

I know you've got things to do,
And I don't want to trouble you.
But I just can't stand the loneliness.

Hurry home. Hurry home.
Now I know,
Just what lonely really means.
Hurry home. Hurry home.
Now I know,
Just how much you mean to me.
Hurry home.
Hurry home.


7. The same thing to you

Cook me up french fries. Invite me for dinner.
Show who you are and I'll show you I'm a sinner.
Not in the worst way. I'll do the same thing to you.
If you want to I'll play you a song on my guitar.
Show you the words so you can follow me so far.
Wanna go further? I'll go the same way with you.

Don't get me wrong,
But I'll do all these things to you.
Then I know we'll become the best of friends.
I am sure you would like me in the end.
No matter what you wanna do,
I'd do the same thing to you.

So make me an offer I will not refuse.
Take me to the movies and read me the news.
Talk with me backwards. I'll do the same thing to you.
Show me a photograph of all of your girlfriends.
Tell me a story, a thought that never ends.
Paint me as a cartoon. I'll do the same thing to you.

Don't get me wrong,
But I'll do all these things to you.
Then I know we'll become the best of friends.
I am sure you would like me in the end.
No matter what you wanna do,
I'd do the same thing to you.

So cook me up french fries. Invite me for dinner.
Show who you are and I'll show you I'm a sinner.
Not in the worst way. I'll do the same thing to you.
If want me to play you a song on my guitar,
Show you the words so you can follow me so far.
Wanna go further? I'll go the same way with you.

I'll go the same way with you.
same thing to you    --    (3x, by choir)
I'll go the same way with you.
same thing to you    --    (3x, by choir)
I'll go the same way with you.
same thing to you    --    (3x, by choir)
I'll go the same way with you.
same thing to you    --    (3x, by choir)
I'll go the same way with you.


8. Rain

Give me your dreams and answers
I know my reply
There's only one chance for living
The clouds' in the sky

When sunlight burns your eyes
I know the children cry
In pain
Dawn comes up
I'm gonna learn your pain
And pray for rain.

We need a chance to start again
Let it rain
I lie awake and feel the pain
Let it rain

I can't even think to reason
The world has gone bad
We're out on the land of Eden
We blow what we have

There's only one hold back
One way for bad to stay
We know
Only whether
We can hope to get
It's heavy rain

We need a chance to start again
Let it rain
I lie awake and feel the pain
Let it rain

So many try to start again
Let it rain
And nothing's gonna stop this pain
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain


9. He moved through the fair

My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
And he went away from me
And this he did say
It will not be long now
Till our wedding day
It will not be long now
Till our wedding day
It will not be long now
Till our wedding day


10. Starship trooper    --   1998 remix

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper

Hey, Captain Strange, won't you be my lover
You're the best thing that I've ever discovered
Flash Gordon's left me, he's gone to the stars
An evil Darth Vader has me banished to Mars

Tell me, Captain Strange, do you feel my devotion
Or are you like a droid, devoid of emotion
Encounters one and two are not enough for me
What my body needs is close encounter three

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

I love you, love me?
I love you, love me?

Listen, Captain Strange, what's our destination
The scanners seem to indicate a small deviation
Static on the comm - it's Starfleet Command
Requesting your position, it's their final demand

You're intentions are known, they've found out at last
So if you're gonna take me, please make it fast
Touch me, feel me, do what you will
I want to feel that galatic thrill

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

Space suit is lying on control room floor
Pulse rate increasing as the heat factor soars
Take me, make me feel the force
Ignore the computers, we're locked on course

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing lights in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquer space

I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
(song fades out)


11. On the Nile

In my dreams I could be burning
Yellow with the sands of time
Through the heat I saw the shimmer
Heat of passion on my mind
Through your smile
On the Nile
Time is left for me reflecting
In the mirror of the Nile
Ooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooo
Lalalalalalalala
Through your smile
On the Nile
Time is left for me reflecting
In the mirror of the Nile
I will hold you with my smile
Secret passions on the Nile

13. Once in a lifetime    --   1996 ballad version

Let me dive in
To pools of sin
Wet black leather on my skin
Show me the floor
Lay down the law
I need to taste you more

Refrain:
Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know you're my once in a lifetime

When you take me
And make me cry
Then I feel you satisfy
Show me the cage
It's all the rage
And lock it up

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime

Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime

Giving you my soul
Letting you control
Took away a part of my lifetime
Memories of you
Left me black and blue
Now I know you're once in a lifetime

Refrain

Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime
(song fades out)
