On a hot Brazilian night
When dance and drums were merging
Passions felt so right
Hearts and hands were searching
On that hot Brazilian night
When I thought I'd lost my senses
I came to understand
My life needs no more fences
Not only did I fall in love with you
I also found that magic sense of freedom
Liberated from my inhibitions
I felt these strong ambitions
To free myself from sorrow
And tomorrow
On that hot Brazilian night
When I thought I'd lost my senses
I found another me
and life has no more fences
I found another me
and life has no more fences
What does it mean - if you say - that you love me,
while you turn your head – and look away?
What does it mean - if you say – I can trust you,
but you lie again - day after day?
And what does it mean - when you make me a promise that’s obviously – an empty one
You may
blame it on confusion
and feel there is no - harm done
You may
think - that what you’re saying
is not so relevant, my dear
but let me
tell you – with affection
it sounds two faced – and insincere
Don’t
classify - as unimportant
the things you say - and what you do
Make an effort to be truthful
and don’t forget – I care for

Wasn’t it nice - the single rose - he handed me
and I enjoyed – he cooked - that lovely meal
I am impressed – the way he’s looking after me
I start to like – the way he makes me feel
Wonder if this - could be the man –
I’ve been - always dreaming of
Maybe this is the guy that I wanted -
someone who really - cares for me
I wonder - maybe he’s no pretender
Maybe I should - allow myself - to believe -
I deserve – heaven
Maybe I should surrender
It would be nice - to be with a man –
who really is - showing his love
Here you are - I know that you’re a superstar
you’re by far – more than A- okay – let’s walk the Milky Way
Holding out for something good - I always knew you could
Brave enough to make the change - as you should
(and it’s good)
If you dare to live a dream – you’ll get it done
If you wanna be a star – then (baby) reach for one
The abundance you’ll be choosing from – (is) a million and one
Rich or poor - as long as you’re not insecure
Please endure - if you’re black or white - don’t give up your fight
Nothing’s there to hold you back - it’s not too hard to do
Only if you’re failing to pursue – it’s up to you
If you ever feel - that you’ve gone astray
Just take a break – and just dream your dream -
and you’ll find your way

Meeting you - made a cold and wintry day for me -
so warm –a sudden summer
Since then – feels my life has woken up to a - new dawn – out of its slumber
While walking by the
sea - a warmth came over me
and it seems my life with you is – al-ways - sum-mer-time
It’s a picnic on the beach for you – and me – for now and ever
Our love - is so obvious for everyone – to see –
I’ll leave you never
I see diamonds in the sea - my heart is feeling free
as I realize my passion for you
As the kites - and seagulls fly the skies
we join a glass of wine – and feel the happiness together
And the lights - I’m seeing in your eyes
is showing an – a-ma-zing dream
We’re making a – real – good - team
We’re making summer - last all year round
Meeting you - made a cold and wintry day for me -
so warm –a sudden summer
Since then – feels my life has woken up to a - new dawn –out of its slumber
And the wind that blows my hair
tells me – you are always there
You’re the soul mate that I need in my life
Wonder if it’s time
I start looking after me
Guess this is a sign
I wanna feel like a woman all over
Dress up to impress
Feel like going dancing
There is the suspense
I’m in - for a magical night
Look good – wearing a silky seductive dress
Feel great – stockings and sexy suspender belt
Wonder – putting on make-up and brushing my hair
maybe - there could be - some dancing up close
Romance in the night
Swaying, moving, grooving
Yes the time is right
I can feel like a woman again

Ever since I met you
something has changed in me
Ever since I had realised
there was more than I could see
Maybe I felt alone
Wonder if you had guessed
Maybe that you could read my mind:
I thought you were the best
Now you are a friend
and you can well understand
when there are times when – I’m needing - you most
I want to thank you - dear friend
for all the times that we’ve spent
and the adventures, the good times and bad times – we shared
Ever since that moment
Ever since we met
My thoughts go out to Christmas time
The party of the year
I'll sing you now my Christmas song
I wish to bring you cheer
We like that special fuzzy feel
That Christmas brings about
That sweet smell of the Christmas tree
The church bells ringing out
CH:
Christmas, O Christmas, we're singing about peace
We wish a world in harmony – in which we feel at ease
I think about the children, who live around the globe,
Are they all safely cared for and in loving hands?…I hope….!
We gather with our families
Around the Christmas tree
And I can’t help - but wondering
What gifts there are for me?
Did Santa get my wish-list?
A present to enthrall:
That I want peace for Christmas
And happiness for all
INSTRUMENTAL
CH
Outside I see some children
They smile and sing aloud
I look at them and realise
What peace is all about
A loving smile is like a gift
A token from our hearts
It's there where all the peace begins
Merry Christmas - love - and smile!
CH
A loving smile is like a gift

It's there were all the peace begins Merry Christmas - love - and smile!
