Sweet Summer Stillness Jane Hasler, Alan Blair Middleton and Paul Stewart Ross Verse Sweet summer stillness, steals in from the sea, The heat of the tender night wraps all around me Be with me Sweet summer stillness, steals over this sand Calling my mortal heart to your whispered command Be with me Bridge Waltzing moonbeams dance on the tide Willing their magic to guide your spirit to me Be with me, Be with me, Be with me Verse Your darkest caresses set my senses on fire Near untold pleasures, spark my love, my desire Be with me Our entwined shadows, breaks the shimmering light To summon all passion, The darkness invites Be with me Bridge and outro Waltzing moonbeams dance on the tide Willing their magic to guide your spirit to me Be with me, Be with me, Come to me, Be with me, You’re with me, You’re with me (Fade out with counter melody ) Born in the heat of the tender night, midnight shadow breaks the shimmering light, Sweet dark shade steals over the sand, promises the earth in the palm of my hand Sweet dark shade steals in from the sea, wilful magic guides your spirit to me

Your light still shines, Still shines in me. Old friend, do you know? Your light still shines, Still shines in me.

KISS Verse Slowly night creeps along corridors dark, Compelled to follow, unwilling to part, Music and laughter carried up from the hall, Fade to a whisper by irresistible thrall, Chorus I need to know all you feel for me, I need to show all I feel for you, To hold you close and wish, You dare to hold me too, And we’ll kiss, Verse The forbidden sweet trip of temptation, Our glances of unspoken intent, And then from doubt, came the thrill of believing, To lead to this moment, this tumultuous evening, Chorus I need to know all you feel for me, I need to show all I feel for you, To hold you close and wish, You dare to hold me too And we’ll kiss. Bridge And in the darkness, I reach you, Stumble into arms Unfamiliar bliss And in the darkness you reach me, Your lips to mine, and we kiss Chorus I need to know all you feel for me, I need to show all I feel for you, To hold you close and wish, You’ll dare to hold me too And we’ll kiss. Verse 3 All that we needed, all that we dreamed, The closeness we craved, such long years missed, Overwhelms us now, no way to resist Holding fast in the shadows, in this first kiss Chorus I need to know all you feel for me, I need to show all I feel for you, To hold you close and wish, You’ll dare to hold me too And we’ll kiss

I Don’t Understand Why By Jane Hasler and Alan Blair Middleton Verse 1 I don’t understand why, each time you let me through your heart’s door, (we could soar), You turn so cold, like all we shared never went before, (I need more), What happened to you long ago, makes you too scared to know? (scared to show), How much richer we could be, and what being together could mean, Chorus I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, tell me why, Repeat line Verse 2 I don’t understand why, still I’m not sure, (unsure), For my need to know you offer no cure, (so insecure), I’ve tried so often to reach out my hand, (understand) to give you love, And make you feel safe and know, I’d never have let it go, Chorus Never let go, never let go, never let go I’d never have let it go, I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why, tell me why, Verse 3 I don’t understand why, perhaps never will, (unfulfilled), What drives you to turn away from us still, (feel the chill), For we have tasted something so sweet, (bittersweet,) when you’ve let our hearts meet (miss a beat), Chorus When our hearts meet, when our hearts meet, (so bittersweet,) when our hearts meet. Never let go, never let go, never have let it go I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why I don’t understand why oh tell me why End stanza I’ve tried and I’ve tried, can take it no longer, I give nothing more, except hope whatever your fear one day is gone. Maybe fade out on I don’t understand why, I don’t understand why

Virtual Romance Composition by Alan Blair Middleton, Jane Hasler, Paul Stewart Ross Vocals on sound track Jane Hasler and Karen Ewing Verse You’re so sweet and warm and neat, (my sweet heart beats) And I never knew what love could do till I saw you oh yeah, (no clue, so blue) My head turned when you walked by I made a point to keep my eye on you (that’s true) I pictured you in my arms, I longed to give in to your charms, The stage was set, the curtains raised but my tongue froze when we came face to face Chorus We’re not ready to dance Sitting down on a virtual romance Not a ghost of a chance Of something more than a virtual romance Bridge Cold nights lost at the screen Chasing my electric dream I watch but I’m never seen Verse Nowhere to hide when worlds collide (no pride, inside) But our faint hearts have kept us far From spinning close under our own star (so far, bright star) Such time has passed, the game’s moved on But we’ve stood still for far too long, too long (so long), No holding you in my arms No sweet surrender to your charms, No valentine, no pink champagne, I’m not so sure you even know my name Chorus We’re not ready to dance, Sitting down on a virtual romance Not a ghost of a chance Of something more than a virtual romance, No hope or a chance To realise this virtual romance We’re not ready to dance, I’m not ready, you’re not ready Long nights at the screen Chasing you my electric dreamer We’re not ready to dance I’m not ready, you’re not ready,

If I Didn’t Have You, (Alan Blair Middleton, Paul Stewart Ross, Jane Hasler) If I didn’t have you, I’d be running down a dead end road, Clocking up the empty miles, Putting on my bravest smiles, If I didn’t have you, I’d be standing on a windy shore, Lone footprints on the lonely sand, No-one walking hand in hand in hand If I didn’t have you, I’d be climbing meaningless mountains, Willing your blue eyes to come and share the morning sun, For a moment or two, lost in the mist of imagination, Sensing your soft breath on me, like a whisper on the breeze, If I didn’t have you, who would calm the raging storm? Who would hear my silent scream? Who would share these fragile dreams? Like a hill with no view, Like a Sherlock Holmes without a clue, I could never be truly me, If I didn’t have you, oo oo oo oo, If I didn’t have you, I’d be climbing meaningless mountains, Willing your blue eyes to come and share the morning sun, For a moment or two, lost in the mist of imagination, Sensing your soft breath on me, like a whisper on the breeze, If I didn’t have you, I’d be running down a dead end road, Clocking up the empty miles, Putting on my bravest smiles.
