DMF Virtual Expressions Lyrics: March 30, 2023
“Night and Day” - Ella Fitzgerald
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick-tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick, tick-tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Night and say, day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
This torment would never be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, day and night
Day and night, night and day
“Light Switch” - Charlie Puth
Yeah
Why you callin' at 11:30
When you only wanna do me dirty?
But I hit right back 'cause you got that, that, yeah
Why you always wanna act like lovers
But you never wanna be each other's?
I say, "Don't look back" but I go right back and
All of a sudden, I'm hypnotized
You're the one that I can't deny
Every time that I say I'm gonna walk away
You turn me on like a light switch
When you're movin' your body around and around
Now, I don't wanna fight this (no)
You know how to just make me want
You turn me on like a light switch
When you're movin' your body around and around
You got me in a tight grip (yeah)
You know how to just make me want you, baby
Do you love it when you keep me guessin'? (Me guessin')
When you leave, and then you leave me stressin' (me stressin')
But I can't stay mad when you walk like that, no (uh)
Why you always wanna act like lovers
But you never wanna be each other's?
I say don't look back, but I go right back and
All of a sudden, I'm hypnotized (hypnotized)
You're the one that I can't deny (can't deny)
Every time that I say I'm gonna walk away (yeah)
You turn me on like a light switch
When you're movin' your body around and around
Now, I don't wanna fight this (no)
You know how to just make me want
You turn me on like a light switch (switch)
When you're movin' your body around and around
You got me in a tight grip (grip)
You know how to just make me want you, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon and show me how you do (do)
You want, you want, you want, you want
You wanna keep me wantin' you (me wantin' you, girl)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon and show me how you do (you do)
You want, you want, you want, you want
You wanna keep me wantin' you
You turn me on like a light switch
When you're movin' your body around and around
Now, I don't wanna fight this
You know how to just make me want you
You turn me on like a light switch
When you're movin' your body around and around
You got me in a tight grip
You know how to just make me want you, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon and show me how you do (how you do)
You want, you want, you want, you want
You wanna keep me wantin' you (baby)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon and show me how you do (how you do)
You want, you want, you want, you want
You wanna keep me wantin' you
“From Another Time” - Persephone (Original Composition)
The queen lay dying in her bed
The princess sang a lullaby
She held her hand and she touched her head
Then she whispered “Goodbye.”
They all had tried to help the Queen
But in her castle she died
Three days before Halloween
The princess was scared and she cried
Far from the castle the Queen was taken
She was buried in the ground
The royal family was totally shaken
In their sadness they were bound
The princess knows she must move on
And her life will be just fine
The happy memories are all gone
They’re from another time
The princess is weeping by the hearth
Thinking of her mother, the Queen
For so long they have been apart
She’s living in a sad dream
She remembers the pretty dresses
That she wore at the fancy ball
She thinks about her dancing lessons
That she took in the grand hall
The princess knows she must move on
And her life will be just fine
The happy memories are all gone
They’re from another time
The princess knows she must move on
And her life will be just fine
The happy memories are all gone
They’re from another time
They’re from another time
“Let It Go” - From “Frozen”
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
Evermore - From “Beauty and the Beast”
I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes, but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear
Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore
I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
She's never out of sight
Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she fades from view
She will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore
