Almost Love
Seems to me as if that’s all we’re coming to
And it feels good after all that I’ve been through.
Killing time
I’ve been down to my last dime
I’ve been scared that all the pain’s gonna show, but now I know
That I was hurting the most ‘cause I’ve never been close to
Almost Love
And it feels like it’s the closest I’ve been yet.
And it’s stronger now the closer that I get.
Coming Home
I’ve been running far too long
Now it looks like if I hang on to you, I’ll make it through
And if you Hang onto me, I’ll bet this could be
Almost Love
Seems to me as if that’s all we’re coming to
And it feels good after all that I’ve been through.
Killing time
I’ve been down to my last dime
I’ve been scared that all the pain’s gonna show, but now I know
That I was hurting the most ‘cause I’ve never been close to
Almost Love
Kind of feels like it’s Almost Love
Almost Love – Music by John Barry, Lyrics by Dean Pitchford
Recorded by Catherine Howe on Breeze BI 113 (1981)

With author's note (Cynthia Haagens)
I wrote the lyrics to "The Secrets of My Heart" and in the CD package they were mistranslated by a Japanese translator who transcribed the lyrics after listening to the song and getting the words completely wrong!! This has been a huge source of both laughs and irritation for me since I wrote the lyric!
Here is my actual lyric:
Private dreams I never told you
Come to hold me in the dark
Moonlit skies and long embraces
Eyes that shine from lovers' faces
You'll never know
The secrets of my heart
Unknown worlds you'll never share,
love
Call to you, we'll sleep apart
Empty arms will wait so lonely
I'll touch the night and let it hold me
You'll never show
The secrets of your heart
Private dreams are meant for living
Trace them with a treasure chart
Tell you all my hidden wishes
And never fly from lovers' kisses
If you could share
The secrets of my heart
Music John Barry

Our time is now,
Not one day soon.
Your eyes don’t lie,
Look how bright the stars
And how close the moon.
Our time is now,
And evermore.
It took a while
But a love like ours
Was worth waiting for.
Chorus:
Love has no season,
There are no rules.
Those who stop dreaming are fools.
So come with me
Because our time is now.
[Repeat chorus]
Our time is now.
Our time is now.
Our time is now.

Give me a smile / Give me a sense of who I am/
Give me a breath of vanished days / and fires that once blazed within/
Give me a smile / Give me a vast yet private sky/
Give me a light beyond the light/
Where other worlds just might begin...
Cx: Give me the courage / to see how limitless we are/
and not be haunted by the past / the past has passed/
Give me a smile / give me a promise I can touch/
Give me a stillness in my soul / A reason for this earth to spin/
Give me a smile...
cx: repeat
Last verse repeat to end!

Just tick the days off one by one
Some days I feel these days will never end
Just to see you standing by my door
Made the way I've hungered for
Just tick the days off one by one
This is a love you don't recover from
Only fools tell you time goes so fast
And that the love, it doesn't last
Perfect love Brings a different kind of pain
It's a pain you will always taste
I need to taste that taste again
Just tick the days off one by one
Until tomorrow becomes here and now
Quietly just as an answered prayer
I'll turn around and you'll be there Together

There Will Come A Day
There will come a day, one day I swear
When you will awake and find me there
Day after day I think of the day
When I will see you, just see you
There will come a night, I know there will
Where this won't stand perfectly still
Night after night, I dream of the night
I'll hold you, just hold you
All that stands between us
All that's in our way
Is the pain of waiting
And doubting every day
There will come a day, one day I swear
When you will awake and find me there
Day after day I think of the day
I'll see you, just see you
Hold you, just hold you
Love you and take you on

We will hear the song no one's ever heard,
And our souls will dance on the wind,
I have dreamed and dreamed what it will be like,
Just to see each other again
There are unseen gifts that the Gods bestow,
Memory saves us all in the end,
And a loving heart will not ever age,
Oh to see each other again
Can't wait to see you,
So much to say,
Can you imagine living that day?
We will harvest all of our dreams my love,
I will paint your face on the wind,
And a shadowed world will begin to glow,
When we see each other again
Oooh,
Can you imagine living that day?
We will harvest all of our dreams my love,
I will paint your face on the wind,
And a shadowed world will begin to glow,
When we see each other,
Just see each other,
Be with each other again,
Just see each other again.

Places,
I still remember places.
Those precious times in places,
When everything was new.
Places,
I still can feel those places
Our hearts were never lighter
The sky was twice as blue.
Places,
What happened to those places?
Though they have changed forever,
I'm still in love with you.
Romance,
Do you remember romance?
When nothing seemed to matter
Apart from me and you.
Passion,
Wilder than any ocean
Timeless as any mountain
We grew closer
We grew wiser
Every day
Places,
I still remember places.
Those precious times in places
When everything was new.
Places,
Do you remember places?
When nothing seems to matter,
I'm still in love with you.

lyric: As sung by Yingying Huang
Somewhere in time
You came into my world
Love was beyond what I imagined love would be
Now just a dream
I hold till the end of time
Hoping someday we'll find what we left behind
There'll come a day
Our paths will meet again
We'll cross the bridge of time and space to a love that's free
No more goodbye
No lonely waiting
That'll be our day to love,to live all our dreams
If we believe and keep alive
The hope that love will stand the test of distance and time
Then we shall find our new tomorrow
Somewhere in time
Someday there'll be no time between us
There'll just be endless days for us to love and share
We'll rise above the tears of our lonely years
Into a world beyond today
In another somewhere
oo00OO00oo
lyric: As sung by Pat Castillo
Somewhere in time
We met on timeless hills
And in the evening midst
We kissed and time stood still
Before the dawn
We found forever
Moments are timeless
When I feel your caress
Love never goes
Once it has touched your heart
Just like the scent of wine
that's left as two lips part
A taste of love will linger after
I find the meaning now
in all that I see
You're always here inside of me
And I know when love is true
It's always with you
Somewhere in time
I came to realize
Love never goes...
oo00OO00oo
lyric: As sung by Martin Nievera
Somewhere in time,
we'll share
one love,
one life.
And with each gentile touch
i know
this much,
its true.
And when we kiss,
i see forever,
and in your arms,
im lost, you find me again.
No words, no writes,
describe this pain inside,
no matter how hard i tried,
i die inside,
to let you go,
To say goodbye
my heart breaks forever
somewhere in time, i know
we'll meet again
You're in my heart
You're in my soul
and if you go away from me
i cant let go.
Until begin,
i know,
we'll meet again
Somewhere in time.

somewhere in time
i know i've met you,
was it a day, a month, a thousand years ago.
locked in my mind,
there lies a memory,
a world of you and me that we used to know
somewhere in time i know i've kissed you,
could i be wrong,
lets kiss so there will be no doubt
give me a sign that you remember,
that timeless place that i've been talking about.
somewhere in time
i've seen your smile,
i've known your warmth, your love, your tears the touch of your hand
somewhere in time
i know i've loved you
somewhere in t-i-m-e.

Somewhere in time,
It was decided
That you and I would spend forever
Hand in hand.
The gods looked down and we were chosen.
I'll soon be there, we have a lifetime to share.
Somewhere in time,
Words without meaning,
They don't begin to say what I want you to hear.
Our time is now,
Not some tomorrow.
This time I'll stay,
This dream will not drift away.
Somewhere in time,
We'll laugh again,
We'll love again,
I'll count the seconds until then.
Somewhere in time,
It was decided
Our time is now.
Somewhere in time,
We'll laugh again,
We'll love again,
I'll count the seconds until then.
Somewhere in time,
It was decided
Our time is now,
Our time is now,
Our time is now.

Where there is time, there is tomorrow.
Somewhere in time all sorrows pass to memory.
And so the end is the beginning.
Somewhere in time we are as we're meant to be.
Where there is time there is a circle.
Somewhere in time the circle yearns to be complete.
Though you may feel this is illusion.
Somewhere in time I know we're certain to meet.
Somewhere in time love is forever.
A love that's here, a love that's now, to last for all time.
Somehow I know this moment's waiting
Somewhere in time.
Where there is time there is a circle.
Somewhere in time the circle yearns to be complete.
Somewhere in time love is forever.
A love that's here, a love that's now to last for all time.
Somehow I know this moment's waiting
Somewhere in time.

This way Mary, come Mary, share the world with me
Make this moment our moment and our memory
This way Mary, come Mary, let me warm your heart
Take this love I bring you and then let's forever start
This way Mary, come Mary while the sun is high
Make this summer the summer that refused to die
This way Mary, run Mary, our love has to be
So take my hand and walk this way with me
...
This way Mary, come Mary, let me warm your heart
Take this love I bring you and then let's forever start
This way Mary, come Mary while the sun is high
Make this summer the summer that refused to die
This way Mary, run Mary, our love has to be
So take my hand and walk this way with me

Once the world was dressed in green and gold
And life was like a rose that's about to unfold
I only fought the wind and only answered to the sun
Love came with the dawn to waken everyone
Wish I could live those days again
Wish now was then
Then the world stood still in early May
Unbound and free were we just ourselves to obey
Then time was not a thing we were afraid to lose
And words were only words we never thought to choose
Wish I could live those days again
Wish now was then
Wish I could live those days again
Wish now was then
