BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
By
Celine Dion
***************
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast.
I SURRENDER
***************
There’s so much life I’ve left to live
And this fire is burning still
When I watch you look at me
I think I could find the will
To stand for every dream
And forsake this solid ground
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they ever knew
I’m in love with you
‘Cause I’d surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We’d make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I’d make you give them all to me
I’d hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
I know I can’t survive
Another night away from you
You’re the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Right now, there’s no better time
From this fear I will break free
And I’ll live again with love
And no they can’t take that away from me
And they will see…
I’d surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We’d make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I’d make you give them all to me
I’d hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Every night’s getting longer
And this fire is getting stronger, baby
I’ll swallow my pride and I’ll be alive
Can’t you hear my call
I surrender all
I’d surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We’ll make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I’ll make you give them all to me
I’ll hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
Right here, right now
I give my life to live again
I’ll break free, take me
My everything, I surrender all to you
Right now
I give my life to live again
I’ll break free, take me
My everything, I surrender all to you
IF I COULD
***************
If I could
I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I’ve never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges that I’ve burned
Yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
I’ve watched you grow
So I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live
In a time and place where you don’t want to be
You don’t have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday
Won’t have to be your way
If I knew
I’d have tried to change the world I brought to you to
And there isn’t very much that I can do
But I would
If I could…
Oh baby… mummy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungry years
It’s part of me
And if you ever… ever need
Sad shoulder to cry on
I’m just someone to talk to
I’ll be there… I’ll be there
I didn’t change your world
But I would
If I Could!
YOU MAKE ME FEEL (LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN)
***************
Lookin’ out on the mornin’ rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Oh it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
When my soul was in the lost and found
You came along to claim it
And didn’t know just what was wrong with me
Oh till your kiss helped me name it
Now I’m no longer doubtful
Of what I’m livin’ for
Cause if I make you happy
I don’t need to do more
Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
Oh baby what you’ve done to me
You make me feel so good inside
Good inside
And I, I just wanna be close to you
Because you make me feel so alive
Oh what you’ve done to me
Close to you because you make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
Woman
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
You make me feel
Oh baby what you do to me
Can make me feel so good inside
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
Oh what you’ve done
Natural woman
LOVE BY ANOTHER NAME
***************
Somewhere past midnight
When the moment is just right
We ride the streets of desire
We take it slow and
Always get where we’re goin’
‘Cause where there’s smoke there’s fire
There’s no denying
We don’t need to keep trying
Let’s face the music and dance
Well it’s all semantic
What we never say
But what we feel ain’t goin’ away, , ,
So I wonder- how could we be feeling
More than this Tell me true
What it is, ’cause
Something has to make us feel this way
Love by another name
Doesn’t matter ’cause it’s still the same love
Won’t depend upon the words we say
Love by another name
Something happens when we’re making love
Si ce n’est pas l’amour
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
If it’s not love
What is it?
We’re superstitious
When every day is like Christmas
It should be left undisturbed
No promise spoken
hearts don’t have to get broken
More than a four letter word
If we’re just pretending
We can write a new ending
If we don’t like where it leads
Well it’s new romantic
Action over words
The sweetest nothings that I’ve heard
I can’t tell you everything I’m feeling
More than this
Do you know
What it is, ’cause
I know that I can’t describe
What I’m feeling inside
Maybe I’ll learn
I guess I live with the fear
This could all disappear
If I try to put it in words
REVEAL
***************
In a never ending circle
I’ve been sheltering a dream
I could climb over a rainbow
To a place I haven’t been
Never felt this way before
Trusting you I feel so sure
Now we are behind closed doors
The way you make me feel
Reveal
What we do in privacy
Make a woman out of me
When you’re close it feels so right
You and I reveal tonight
Take me from this lonely river
Home into the open sea
Never felt this way before
In your hands I’m free to fall
Show what’s underneath it all
The way you make me feel
Reveal
What we do in privacy
Make a woman out of me
When you’re close it feels so right
You and I reveal tonight
An every breath I take
I feel you here inside me
Each night I lie awake
Dreaming you will find me
And every brand new morning
You’re the sun that’s dawning
And I love that landslide
Feels so good I want to cry
Never felt this way before
In your hands I’m free to fall
Show what’s underneath it all
The way you make me feel
Reveal
What we do in privacy
Make a woman out of me
When you’re close it feels so right
You and I reveal tonight
Reveal
What we do in privacy
Make a woman out of me
When you’re close it feels so right
You and I reveal tonight
Let me reveal myself
Let me reveal myself
Let me reveal myself
Let me reveal myself
