This one is from my favorite musical
One day more
Another day another destiny
This never ending road to Calvary
These men who seem o know my crime
Will surely come a second time
One day more
I did not live until today
How can I live when we are parted
One day more
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you my world has started
One more day all on my own
Will we ever meet again
One more day with him not caring
I was born to be with you
What a life I might have known
And I swear I will be true
But he never saw me there
One more day before the storm
Do I follow where she goes
At the barricades of freedom
Do I join my brothers there
When our ranks begin to form
Do I stay do I dare
Will you take your place with me
The time is now the day is here
One day more
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
I will join these little school boys
They will wet themselves in blood
One day more
Watch em run amok
Catch em as they fall
Never know your luck when there's a free for all
Here a little dip
There a little touch
Most of em are goners
So they won't miss much
One day to a new begining
Raise the flag of freedom high
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a King
There's a new world to be winning
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing
My place is here I fight with you
One day more
I did not live until today
One more day I'm on my own
How can I live when we are parted
I will join these people's heroes
I will follow where they go
I will learn their little secrets
I will know the things they know
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
What a life I might have known
And yet with you my world has started
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in a bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
Watch em run amok
Catch em as they fall
Never know your luck when there's a free for all
Tomorrrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!

Nope. And it's not something you'd think they'd make into a musical, but it's VERY good.
Think Jane Austen-era.

I don't know if we've ever established any rules. The songs were from musical theater, but I just posted one from a movie (which you guessed correctly!). So, up to you if you should decide to post lyrics to a movie or musical play!
Jerry

Can I post lyrics to a song?
If yes, then here it is - one of my favorite songs:
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains...
Drie

Ah, gotta love that song. Sound of Silence is beautifully written and performed. Nice choice!
Hmm, let's see.

I am just a poor boy and my story’s seldom told
I’ve squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises

I believe this is "The Boxer." I also think Simon and Garfunkle are awesome.
Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the mornin' last.

'Dancing in the street'. I am not 100 percent sure which singer's version you're quoting, but I know on of my all-time favorite singers did the song... Bowie! (alright, Bowie and Mick Jagger, but still Bowie)
Hmmmm, an easy one since I'm late for work.
"It's a beautiful life, and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
When my life comes crashin' down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin, and I'm doin' it again
And that ain't for all of us "
Jerry
Aug 16 2004, 03:18 PM
That's 'We Are The Normal', I believe.
"Can you feel it? watching you in the darkness
Touching you like a sickness
Fear is taking control,
The beach head is the street.
In the gutter lies defeat.
Fear is the key to your soul
That makes you dangerous
So dangerous to yourself"

Dangerous Lyrics by The Who
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak what love has done

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass"
