Musical Medley - Tenorissimo

Track No. 13

On the Street Where You Live
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live

Are there lilac trees in the heart of town
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town
Does enchantment pour out of ev'ry door
No, it's just on the street where you live

Maria
Maria
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly the name
Will never be the same to me
Maria
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found
How wonderful a sound can be
Maria
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria
I never stop saying:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria

Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
Maria
I'll never stop saying:
Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria

Anthem
No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born

And you wonder will I leave her - but how
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
How can I leave her
Where would I start
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart

This Is the Moment
This is the moment
This is the day
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way
Every endeavor
I have made ever
Is coming into play
Is here and now, today

This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This precious chance
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last

This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckoned
I never reckoned
Second best
When I look down
I must not fall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment
Of them all

Bring Him Home
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

Unexpected Song
I have never felt like this
For once I'm lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all
I never thought I'd know
The kind of love you've shown me

Now, no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing

Music of the Night
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thought away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close you eyes and surrender to a strange, new world
Let your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night
