The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there
Twinkle, twinkle little star
So we'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead us to the land we dream of
And when our journey is through
Each time we say "Goodnight"
We'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right

So this is love, Mmmmmm
So this is love
So this is what makes life divine
I'm all aglow, Mmmmmm
And now I know
The key to all heaven is mine
My heart has wings, Mmmmmm
And I can fly
I'll touch ev'ry star in the sky
So this is the miracle that I've been dreaming of
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
So this is love
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, that gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
If I never knew you
If i never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.
In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd hve lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these wispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right
Oh if I never knew you
There's no moment I regret
If i never felt this love
Since the moment that we met
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...
I've lived at last...
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love wuold be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were right
we were right
And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
Home is where the heart is,
wherever you may be
There'll always be a home for you,
here inside of me
Home is where the heart is,
and whatever we may do
There'll always be a part of me,
here inside of you
Four walls may surround you
and protect you from a storm
But my two arms around you
will keep you safe and warm
If ever I'm not with you,
if ever you're alone
Remember where my heart is,
and we'll always have a home
Home is where the heart is,
wherever you may be
There'll always be a home for you,
here inside of me
Home is where the heart is,
here my heart's at home
Remember where my heart is,
and you'll never be alone,
and you'll never be alone
Remember where my heart is,
and you'll always have a home.
For now, for always
our love will stay
as warm as summer
for come what may
The magic divine
that first made you mine
will now, for always be new
Though time may tatter
our first sweet thrill
It doesn’t matter;
it never will
For my love was meant for
was Heaven-sent
for now, for always, for you

[Verse 1]
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
[Chorus]
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
[Verse 2]
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
[Chorus]
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
[Verse 3]
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
[Chorus]
Jai Guru Deva, Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
West Point Band's Jazz Knights Big Band がなかなかいいですね。
【ポルトガル語】
Triste é viver na solidão
Na dor cruel de uma paixão
Triste é saber que ninguém
Pode viver de ilusão
Que nunca vai ser nunca vai dar
O sonhador tem que acordar
Tua beleza é um avião
Demais p'rum pobre coração
Que pára pra te ver passar
Só pra me maltratar
Triste é viver na solidão
[Verse 1]
Sad is to live in solitude
Far from your tranquil altitude
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
That never can be, will never be
Dreamer awake, wake up and see
[Verse 2]
Your beauty is an aeroplane
So high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
Only to cause me pain
Sad is to live in solitude
[Verse 2]
Your beauty is an aeroplane
So high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
Only to cause me pain
Sad is to live in solitude
I happened to pass your doorway
Gave you a buzz, that's all
Lately I thought much about you
So I thought I'd pay a social call
Soon you'll recall the old days
We used to have a ball
It's not that I'm lonesome without you
I just thought I'd pay a social call
I'd lie and say things are just swell
But to tell the truth
I haven't been too well
So if you should try to kiss me,
I promise I won't stall
But maybe we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental, elemental, simple social call
I'd lie and say things are just swell
But, to tell the truth
I haven't been too well
But if you should try to kiss me
I promise I'll give it a
And maybe we'll get back together
Starting from this incidental, elemental, simple social call
[Verse 1]
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind
(Mmh-mmh)
[Verse 2]
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies
Under the evergreens
I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
(Mmh-mmh)
[Bridge]
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News
[Verse 3]
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons I left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
(Mmh-mmh, oh yeah)
[Bridge]
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the Daily News
(Who-oh, uh-oh-uh-oh)
[Verse 3]
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons I left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
(Mmh-mmh)
[Outro]
I'm just taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River line
'Cause I'm in a, I'm in a New York
State of mind, yeah
All we've been given by those who came before,
The dream of a nation where freedom would endure.
The works and prayers of centuries have brought us to this place.
What shall be our legacy? What will our children say?
Let them say of me, I am one who believes in sharing the blessings I receive.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, I gave my best to you.
Each generation from the plains to distant shore,
With the gifts that they were given, were determined to leave more.
Valiant battles fought together, acts of conscience fought alone,
These are the seeds from which America has grown.
Let them say of me, I am one who believes in sharing the blessings I receive.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, I gave my best to you.
For those who think they have nothing to share,
Who fear in their hearts there is no hero there.
Know that quiet acts of dignity are that which fortifies
The soul of a nation that never dies.
Let them say of me, I am one who believes in sharing the blessings I receive.
Let me know in my heart when my days are through, America, I gave my best to you.
