Hover over the coloured lines to see who is the main singer for that part.

A Friend Is A Friend

By: D.Charles/R.Wilson/D.Phillips
I told you once before
And I'll tell you once again
You are and will always be my only friend
I'm forever sorry for what has taken place
Can't you see the pain from the tears upon my face
Is it over now?
I'll swallow my pride
I guess I'd rather live with you right by my side

Let's not do this again
You broke my heart and said that you were sorry
In you I depend
(You I depended)
Together again
(Together again)
A friend is a friend
(A friend is a friend)

Every time I see you it still happens to me
I've arrived upon it, your vicinity
Even though I've known you for quite a while
One glance in your direction, making me smile
Is it destiny?
I'm telling myself
That you're the one for me and there ain't no one else

Let's not do this again
(Do this again)
You broke my heart and said that you were sorry
(You breakin' my heart)
In you I depend
Together again
A friend is a friend

Hold me now
(Hold me close)
Hold me now
Hold me close
(Hold me closer)
And I'll be strong
(I'll be)
Said I want you
Said I need you
I'll wanna hold you in my arms and never let go
No no no

Let's not do this again
(Do this again)
You broke my heart and said that you were sorry
(Do this again, no no no no no no no no)
In you I depend
(In you I depend)
Together again
A friend is a friend
(A friend is a friend)

Let's not do this again
(Breakin' my heart)
You broke my heart and said that you were sorry
In you I depend
Together again
A friend is a friend

So glad that we're still friends
Together 'till the end

In you I depend
Together again
A friend is a friend

A Whole New World

By: Alan Menken/Tim Rice
Ooh, ah
Oh no, yeah
Hmm, yeah

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess
Now when did you last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one could tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A dazzling place I never knew
(Hold your breath, it gets better)
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Ooh, new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
(Soaring and tumbling)
Through an endless diamond sky

(A whole new world)
Don't you dare close your eyes
(A new fantastic point of view)
Hold your breath, it gets better
(No one to)
Tell us no
Where to go
Say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
(Don't you dare close your eyes)
A dazzling place
(Hold your breath, it gets better)
But when I'm way up here
(Way up here)
Crystal clear
(Crystal clear)
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

I'll Take A Pass On Love

By: N.Lowis/K.Bryan/G.Plato
Baby I have this one correction
Thought I was the kinda girl you could play around
'Cause when I fall there's no restriction
'Cause when I love, I love for real
Baby you know the deal

(All my lovin')
I'm gonna keep inside for a better man
(This time baby)
Take this as a warning, listen to the truth
(Now)

I'll take a pass on love
With all the things you do
I'll take a pass on you
It's crazy but it's true
I'll take a pass this time
You're not gonna blow my mind
Better be cruel, no one's fool
I'll take a pass

I think about it, yeah
How the hurt and pain seems to last
But I'm a woman who can take the pain
The strength I have within
Will always help me win

Now
(All my lovin')
I'm gonna keep inside 'till you realise
(This time baby)
I'm through with all the lies now
You can't disguise it boy

I'll take a pass on love
With all the things you do
I'll take a pass on you
It's crazy but it's true
I'll take a pass this time
You're not gonna blow my mind
Better be cruel, no one's fool

And I remember when things were bad
You didn't care baby and that makes me mad
Forget the romance that's in the past
The kinda love you give could never ever last

(No no no no)
'Cause baby I'll take a pass

I'll take a pass on love
With all the things you do
I'll take a pass on you
Baby baby baby baby
I'll take a pass this time
You're not gonna blow my mind
Better be cruel, no one's fool
I'll take a pass

Show Me

By: Wilson/Charles
(Show me the way to love)
(And I will give you faith)
(Show me the way to love)
(And I will give you grace)

I never knew that life could be like this
'Cause I was drifting round so light
My ways and routines, just a ???
And I believe this for all time

(Show me the way to love)
Show me the way
(And I will give you faith)
And I will give you faith
(Show me the way to love)
Show me the way
(And I will give you grace)
I'll give you grace

(Show me the way)
(Show me the way)

All I have wondered through a fake belief
Before I settled to the truth
And as I ask myself, am I at ease?
I pray my life has been renewed

(Show me the way to love)
Show me the way
(And I will give you faith)
I will give you faith
(Show me the way to love)
(And I will give you grace)
La la la la la la la

(I love you)
And I need you in my life
(I want you)
To guide me through the strife
(I love you and I won't let go)
I won't let go, won't let go

(Show me the way to love)
Show me the way
(And I will give you faith)
I will give you faith
(Show me the way to love)
(And I will give you grace)
La la la la la la la

(Show me, show me, show me)
(Show me, show me, show me)

(Show me the way)
(To love you)

(I love you)
And I need you
(I want you)
To guide me through the strife
I love you and I won't let go
I won't let go, I won't let go

(Show me the way to love)
When the Lord comes in your life
(And I will give you faith)
Don't turn away
(Show me the way to love)
He made you a promise
(And I will give you grace)
All he asks is that you believe it

(Show me the way to love)
Show me the way
(And I will give you faith)
And I will give you faith
(Show me the way to love)
Show me
(And I will give you grace)
La la la la la la la
(Show me the way to love)
Show me the way
(And I will give you faith)
And I will give you faith

This Life's Not For Me

By: V.Bennett/E.Bennett/D.Bennett
If you really want me
The way you want my money
Everybody needs somebody
If you really want me
Take some time to show me
Everybody needs someone

It's all about me
And the way you make me feel
That's the way it's been for so long
Tossing and turning in my bed
Thinking about the times we've shared together

Can't fight this feeling inside
It's the way he makes me feel
I'm caught up in my own fears
Am I confused or am I blind
Or am I wasting my time
This life's not for me

If you really want me
(If you want me)
The way you want my money
Everybody needs somebody
If you really want me
(If you want me)
Take some time to show me
(Show me)
Everybody needs someone

Why can't you understand
I can't live this way no more
Because it's hurting me inside
Let's all join hands and compromise
That's the way it should be all the time

Can't fight this feeling inside
It's the way it makes me feel
No longer taking chances
The way I walk, the way I talk
There's no surprise at who I am
This life's not for me

If you really want me
The way you want my money
(Show me)
Everybody needs somebody
(Needs somebody)
If you really want me
(Come on show me)
Take some time to show me
Everybody needs someone
(Needs somebody)

If you really want me
The way you want my money
Everybody needs somebody
(Needs somebody)
If you really want me
(Come on show me)
Take some time to show me
Everybody needs someone
(Needs someone)

If you really want my love, come and give me some
If you really need my love, come and show me

Oh

If you really want my love, come and give me some
(If you want my love)
If you really need my love, come and show me
If you really want my love, come and give me some
If you really need my love, come and show me

If you really want me
(If you want me)
The way you want my money
Everybody needs somebody
(Needs somebody)
If you really want me
Take some time to show me
(Show me)
Everybody needs someone
(Needs somebody)

When You Wish Upon A Star

By: Ned Washington/Leigh Harline
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you

If your heart is in your dreams
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees it through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Come true
