What is a Youth ?

What is a youth? Impetuous fire!
What is a maid? Ice and desire!
The world wags on.
A rose will bloom, it then will fade.
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid.

Comes a time, when one sweet smile,
Has its season, for a while,
Then love's in love with me.

Some they think only to marry,
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry.
Cupid he rules us all.

Caper the cape, but sing me the song,
Death will come soon to hush us along.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall.
Love is a task that never will pall;
Sweeter than honey & bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all.

A rose will bloom, it then will fade.
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid.

Fields of Gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the Sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in Fields of Gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of Barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of Gold

Will you stay with me? Will you be my love?
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the Sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in Fields of Gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those Summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the Sun goes down
Among the fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the Sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold...

All I Ask of You

Raoul
No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears.
I'm here, nothing can harm you --
My words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears,
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you...

Christine
Say you love me every waking moment,
Turn my head with talk of summertime...

Say you need me with you,
Now and always...
Promise me that all you say is true--
That's all I ask of you...

Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light.
You're safe: No-one will find you --
Your fears are far behind you...

Christine
All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night...
And you, always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me...

Raoul
Then say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime...
Let me lead you from your solitude...

Say you need me with you
Here, beside you...
Anywhere you go, let me go too --
Christine, that's all I ask of you...

Christine
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime...
Say the word and I will follow you...

Both
Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning...

Christine
Say you love me...

Raoul
You know I do...

Both
Love me --
That's all I ask of you...

Anywhere you go, let me go too...
Love me -- that's all I ask of you...

Music of the Night

Night-time 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 thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light --
and listen to the music of the night...

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Purge 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 surround you...
Feel it, hear it, closing in around 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 beleong to me...

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let your 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...
