Lyrics: Medley: Almost Like Being In Love/ This Can't Be love: What a day this has been What a rare mood I'm in Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why, it's almost like being in love And the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel When that bell starts to peal I could tell I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love Almost like being in love Almost, it's almost.................. This can't be love because I feel so well No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs This can't be love I get no dizzy spell, And yet my head is not in the sky. My hearts does not stand still Just hear it beat, This is too sweet to be love This can't be love because I feel so well And yet I love to live, Glad I'm alive, Love to live, Think I'll survive, There's a smile on my face, For the whole human race And the music of live seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me, And from the way that I feel When that bell starts to peal I could tell I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love Almost like being in love. (transcribed by P.M. Daane) He Was Beautiful Music written by Stanley Myers and lyrics penned later by Cleo Laine. Released in 1991 on the album Keep The Music Playing. A live recording was released in 1994 on the video Live in Cardiff. The music for this song is taken from the instrumental tune "Cavatina" played for example by the Mantovani Orchestra (1964). It has been used as theme song for the movie "The Deer Hunter" in 1978, then played by the popular film composer John Williams. (Read more about Williams at Can You Read My Mind.) Cleo Laine penned the lyrics to the tune and she sang it about 1976. Also sung by Kiri Te Kanawa. A plot summary of the movie "The Deer Hunter" from the net: Michael, Steven and Nick are young factory workers from Pennsylvania who get drafted to fight in Vietnam. Before they go, Steven marries the pregnant Angela and their wedding-party is also the men's farewell party. After some time and many horrors the three friends fall in the hands of the Vietcong and are brought to a prison camp in which they are forced to play Russian roulette against each other. Michael makes it possible for them to escape, but they soon get separated again. In Germany they called this movie "Die durch die Hölle gehen". Lyrics He Was Beautiful: He was beautiful Beautiful to my eyes From the moment I saw him The sun filled the sky He was so, so beautiful Beautiful just to hold In my dreams he was springtime Winter was cold How could I tell him What I so clearly could see Though I longed for him Another ... Trusted me completely, so I never could be free It was beautiful Knowing now that he cares I will always remember moments we shared Now it's all over Still the feelings ling' on For my dream keeps returning Now that he's gone For it was beautiful Beautiful Beautiful to be loved (Transcribed by Roman with support by David)
