“When she was singing on stage, she joked with the audience and she joked with the staff. She is a fun-loving person, and I think on Tuesday night, her personality really came through.”

Alone

written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

Shadow of Your Smile

written by Johnny Mandel and Paul Francis Webster

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me

Our wistful little star was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your smile

Crazy On You

written by Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson

We still have time, we might still get by
Every time I think about it, I wanna ride
With bombs and the devil, little kids keep comin'
No way to breathe easy, no time to be young

But I tell myself that I was doin' all right
There's nothin' left to do tonight
But go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you a song that I heard up above
You kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Crazy
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

I Drove All Night

written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly

I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, oh yea

Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside

I drove all night..... to get to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night...........
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you

I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning my up inside
I drove all night…to get to you

Come Together

written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please – oh yea

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his arms till you can feel his disease
Come together right now –yea over me

Over me – ooh over me - yea

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking he's just so hard to see
Come together right now –yea over me

Yea – over me
Come together – oh yea
Come together whoa
Come together
Come together – yea
Come together over me – yea

Blackbird

written by Paul McCartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You are only waiting for this moment to be free

Oh, Blackbird fly, Oh Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Total Eclipse of The Heart

written by Jim Steinman

Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never comin around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit nervous that the rest of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
Oh, We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Oh, Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
Oh, We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Oh, Forever's gonna start tonight
Oh Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Ooh, a total eclipse of the heart

Here You Come Again

written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil

Here you come again
Just when I've begun to get myself together
You waltz right in the door
Just like you've done before
And wrap my heart around your little finger

Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And lie those pretty lies
And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you

All you’ve gotta do is smile that smile
There go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again
Ooh, you’re lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again ...
And here I go, oh

All you’ve gotta do is smile that smile
There go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you and in a little while
You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Oh, here you come again
Ooh, you’re lookin' better than a body has a right to
And shakin' me up so that all I really know
Is here you come again ...
And here I go
Yea, here I go
And here I go

The Show Must Go On

written by Queen

Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score…
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile still stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now…
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
Oh, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile still stays on!

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Oooh!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

The show must go on!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the show!

The show must go on.

Without You

written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans

No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
Well I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
I can't live
No, I can’t live
I can't give anymore…

Jesus Christ Superstar

written by by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber

Every time I look at you
I don't understand
Why you let the things you did
Get so out of hand
You'd have managed better
If you'd had it planned
Why'd you choose such a backward time
In such a strange land?

If you'd come today
You could have reached the whole nation
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication
Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now
Don't you get me wrong, now
Don't you get me wrong

I only want to know
I only want to know, now
I only want to know, now

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Whoa, yea
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Whoa, yea

Tell me what you think
About your friends at the top
Who d’you think besides yourself’s
The pick of the crop, yea
Buddah was he where it's at?
Is he where you are?
Could Muhammmed move a mountain
Or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that?
Was that a mistake or
Did you know your messy death
Would be a record breaker?

Don't you get me wrong Don't you get me wrong
Don't you get me wrong, now Don't you get me wrong

I only want to know, now
I want to know now, oh

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
Jesus Christ
Superstar
Do you think you're what they say you are?
