but I suppose songs from filmed musicals do not really count.
:shock: Oooooh. I hope so. As it is supposed to be your favourite track, and not necessarily on MTV :wink:
I believe it was a musical first, then a film was made - another one of my favourite songs is from Kismet:
She: Oh why do the leaves, Of the Mulberry tree, Whisper differently now, And why is the nightingale singing , At noon on the Mulberry bow, For some most mysterious reason, This isn't the garden I know, No it's paradise now, That was only a garden, A moment ago
He: Take my hand, I'm a stranger in paradise, All lost in a wonderland, A stranger in paradise, If I stand starry-eyed, That's a danger in paradise, For mortals who stand beside, An angel like you
I saw your face, And I ascended, Out of the commonplace, Into the rare, Somewhere in space, I hang suspended, Until I know, There's a chance that you care
Won't you answer the fervent prayer, Of a stranger in paradise, Don't send me in dark despair, From all that I hunger for, But open your angel's arms, To the stranger in paradise, And tell him, That he need be, A stranger no more
She: I saw your face, And I ascended, Out of the commonplace, Into the rare
Both: Somewhere in space, I hang suspended
She: Until I know
He: Till the moment I know
She: There's a chance that you care
He: There's a chance that you care
She: Won't you answer the fervent prayer, Of a stranger in paradise
He: Don't send me in dark despair, From all that I hunger for
Both: But open your angel's arms, To the stranger in paradise, And tell me that I may be, A stranger no more.
