How Do You Keep The Music Playing ....

How Do You Keep The Music Playing - James Ingram & Patti Austin


For Superman ... who went so far ... far ... away ...

How do you keep the music playing
HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING?
(Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Michel Legrand)

Eddie Condon - 1959
James Ingram - 1983
Frank Sinatra - 1984
Tony Bennett - 1986
Shirley Bassey - 1991
Johnny Mathis - 1993



How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that i'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever..
Forever...

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever...
(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

Shooting Star

He was the one who introduced me to Michael Franks , John Mayer
and Sting ...
well then wherever you are in this part of the planet may you live happily and in the peak of good health !

SHOOTING STAR
Music & Lyrics: Richard Lim

I gazed at the sky tonight
I'm waiting for a star in flight
I know there'll be another
Shooting star

City lights seem to cover you
But I know you'll shine in my view
Even though you'll be that far
Shooting star

I know tonight you'll make my dreams come true
And all the other hearts that's torn in two
We'll wish on wherever you are
Shooting Star

It's past midnight, I'm still waiting for you
I don't know, I Don't have a clue
I'd still wish on wherever you are
Shooting star

I gazed at the sky tonight
Hoping tomorrow there'll be a star in flight...

Our Song - Taylor Swift

The song goes out to my dear friend " Fher " , my officemate ... my chicka mate ...
a friend whom I trust very deeply ...

To Fher and Elson ...


Our Song
By : Swift Taylor

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says...

[Chorus:]

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day
Had gone all wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses
And the note that said...

[Repeat Chorus]

I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song...

Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I... wrote down our song

Please don't Ask Me ...

To Superman who sang this song to me ....

Please dont ask me - John Farnham


Please don't Ask Me ...
By : John Farnham

Please don't ask me
what am I thinking
It's about you
And please don't ask me
I never can see you
What can I do
My first impulse is to
run to your side
My heart's not free,
and so I must hide
Please don't ask me
What I'm gonna say to you
I toss and turn
Can't sleep at night
It's worrying me, I go to bed
Turn out the light
But your face I see
It only hurts


The more I pretend
That we could ever
Be more than friends
Please don't ask me
Why I'm so in love with you
You could easily make me happy
That I know
But I try my best to
never tell you so
I will sing to you my love songs
And pretend but I'll keep my
secrets right down
To the end
Please don't ask me why
I'm not talking
I just can't explain
And please don't ask me
Why I go walking out in the rain
I could not live the
lie it would take
To have you near would be a mistake
Please don't ask me
Why I'm still in love with you
No please don't ask me ....

I'm gonna find another you ...

This is for my friend when he felt so broken when his love left him ....

Im Gonna Find Another You - John Mayer


I'm gonna find another you
By : John Mayer


It's really over, you made your stand
You got me crying, as well as you planned
But when my loneliness is through, i'm gonna find another you

You take your sweaters
You take your time
You might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
I'm gonna sing my way away from blue
I'm gonna find another you

When i was your lover
No one else would do
If i'm forced to find another i hope she looks like you
Yeah and she's nicer too

So go on baby
Make your little get away
My pride will keep me company
And you just gave yours all away
Now i'm gonna dress myself for two
Once for me and once for someone new
I'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
Oh i'm gonna find another you

Full Moon o Sagashite

This pretty lonely and wishful song goes to my friend Malyn ...
She tells me about the story of this anime ...
I'm going to check it out laters ~

Full Moon o Sagashite
By: Arina Tanemura
English Translation
Original / Romaji Lyrics

Kimi wo suki ni natte Dorekurai tatsu no kaNA?
Kimochi Fukurande yuku bakari de
Kimi wa Kono omoi kidzuiteiru no kana?
Ichido mo kotoba ni wa Shitenai kedo



How long has it been since I fell in love with you?
My feelings only increase
Will you notice them
Even though I've never once put them into words?

Yuki no youni Tada shizukani
Furitsumori Tsudzukete yuku



Like the snow, they just
Quietly keep accumulating

Hold me tight Konna omoi nara
Dareka wo suki ni naru kimochi
Shiritaku Nakatta yo
I love you Namida tomaranai
Konnan ja Kimi no koto
Shirazuni ireba Yokatta yo

Dreaming With A Broken Heart - John Mayer

Dreaming with a Broken Heart
By : John Mayer

When you're dreamin' with a broken heart
The wakin' up is the hardest part
you roll outta bed and down on your knees
and, for a moment, you can hardly breath

wondering "was she really here?"
"is she standing in my room?"
no she's not, cuz she's gone
gone gone gone gone gone

When you're dreamin with a broken heart
The givin up is the hardest part
she takes you in with her cryin eyes
then all at once you have to say goodbye

wondering "could you stand my love?"
will you wake up by my side
no she can't, cuz she's gone
gone gone gone gone gone

Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hand
baby would you get them if i did
no you wont, cuz your gone
gone gone gone gone gone

When you're dreamin' with a broken heart
the wakin' up is the hardest part
