I'm glad that I'm alive
You set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman

Wind Beneath My Wings
Written by Larry J. Henley / Jeff Alan Silbar
(sometimes the name L. Harry is mentioned).
Released on the 1991 album Keep The Music Playing.
The song is part of the soundtrack of the movie "Beaches" of 1988, sung by Bette Midler. In 1989 she reached No. 1 in the US Billboard with this song. Originally a minor hit for Lee Hazelwood in the mid 1970's in America. Sung by many artists before Bette Midler, including Sheena Easton in 1982 and Roger Whittaker 1982.
Following a plot summary for the movie "Beaches" from the net: When the New York child performer CC Bloom (Bette Midler) and San Francisco rich kid Hillary (Barbara Hershey) meet in a holiday resort in Atlantic City, it marks the start of a lifetime friendship between them. The two keep in touch through letters for a number of years until Hillary, now a successful lawyer moves to New York to stay with struggling singer CC. The movie shows the various stages of their friendship and their romances including their love for the same man.
Lyrics Wind beneath my wings:
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind
I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never wants heard you complain
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I have it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth
I would be nothing with out you
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings
You are the wind beneath my wings

Lyrics Kiss me, honey honey, kiss me:
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
I'd like to play a little game with you
A little game especially made for two
If you come close then I will show you how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
We've never played this little game before
If you relax then you'll enjoy it more
Just settle down and let me teach you how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(But, honey, honey, don't stop)
You kiss so well my lips begin to burn
And I can tell I've got a lot to learn
So hold me close and darling show me how
Closer, closer, now
Kiss me, honey, honey, kiss me
Thrill me, honey, honey, thrill me
Don't care even if I blow my top
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(Don't care even if I blow my top)
But, honey, honey, don't stop
(Never stop)

Don't Cry Out Loud
or sometimes also
We Don't Cry Out Loud
Music written by Peter Allen, and words by Carol Bayer Sager.
Lyrics We don't cry out loud:
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about her 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher - that was me
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside
And learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember you almost had it all

Lyrics I am what I am:
I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I am what I am
I don't want praise
I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise
I think it's pretty
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try and see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham till you can say
Hey world I am what I am
I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces
It's my life and there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
Hey world I am what I am

The Greatest Love Of All
Written by Michael Masser / Linda McCreed.
Released on the 1978 album The Magic Is You and another recording in 1990 on a single and on the 1991 album Keep The Music Playing. Both versions are available on CD. You can easy discern between the two by the track length.
Shirley Bassey has performed this song live on some concerts and a fan told me about a concert 1988 where she made a comment before singing it about how she had recorded her version well before Miss Houston. On another concert she dedicated the song to all the parents.
Originally this was a hit for George Benson in 1977. In the same year the funk band Mandrill did this song. In 1986 Whitney Houston reached No. 1 in the US Billboard with this song.
Lyrics The greatest love all:
I believe, that children are the future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how it used to be
Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
Never found anyone who fulfilled that need
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at least I'll live as I believe
And no matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all
I believe, that children are the future
Teach them well, and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride, to make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how it used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I failed, if I succeed, at least I'll live as I believe
And no matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all is happening to me
I've found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all

Lyrics Something:
Something in the way he moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way he moves me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
Somewhere in his smile he knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in his style that shows me
Don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way he moves
And all I have to do is think of him
Something in the things he shows me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe in how
You're asking me will our love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he knows
Something in the way he smiles
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he smiles

Lyrics This is my life:
Funny how a lonely day,
can make a person say:
What good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart,
can make me start to say:
What good is my life
Funny how I often seem,
to think I'll find another dream
(or to think I'll never find a dream)
In my life Till I look around and see,
this great big world is part of me And my life
This is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
Sometime when I feel afraid,
I think of what a mess I've made of my life
Crying over my mistakes,
forgetting all the breaks I've had In my life
I was put on earth to be,
a part of this great world is me
And my life
Guess I'll just have to score,
and count the things I'm grateful for In my life
This Is my life
Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me
But that's the way that I was born to be
This is me
This is me
This is my life
And I don't give a damn for lost emotions
I've such a lot of love I've got to give
Let me live
Let me live
This is my life
This is my life
This is my lfe.

Lyrics Goldfinger/Diamonds are forever (medley):
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
Diamonds are forever
Sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for
I don't need love
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll lustre on
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever.

Lyrics There's no business like show busines:
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Nowhere can you get that extra feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow.
Showbiz, screw everybody that you know-biz
All the people that you owe-biz,
The're all in showbiz,
Showbiz, where did all the money go-biz
Your business manager should know-biz
That's right it's showbiz, showbiz.
There's no business like show business
Like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing
Everything the traffic will allow
Nowhere can you get that extra feeling
When you are stealing that extra bow.
There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
Today you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they hang a star
Let's go on with the show.

Lyrics Hey Jude:
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it:
Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na na na ,na na na, hey Jude.
About the dress Dame Shirley is wearing at this concert:
Description & Notes:
A sparkling stage ensemble by Douglas Darnell comprising: a bias cut gown with fitted bodice, the orange silk chiffon ground densely embroidered overall with tangerine beads and scattered with Swarovski aurora borealis crystals, the thin shoulder straps crossing above a low-cut back with two long strands of crystals and orange beads terminating in large tassels of vari-coloured crystals and imitation pearls, the skirt with flowing train lined in gold silk tissue; and a voluminous sleeveless coat with flowing train, the orange silk chiffon ground encrusted with two-tone tangerine and pink sequins, the edges and caped collar trimmed with a deep border of tangerine ostrich feathers with flowing train, lined in gold silk tissue

The album Shirley Bassey Sings The Movies, 1995, features Dame Shirley wearing the gown in this lot on the cover. She also wore the gown on stage on a number of occasions throughout the 1970s, including her performances at the Royal Albert Hall, 1977-1978. This gown was also worn for Shirley's 1990 performance at Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City, which has been released on the DVD Standing Room Only.
Darnell recalls that this gown has been reworked several times. It began life as a beaded bodice, to which he then added a straight sheath skirt and later to this a flowing train.

Title: Caesars Palace - Jerk It Out - Equalizer Version [ With Lyrics ]
Description: Title: Caesars - Jerk It Out lyrics
Wind me up
put me down
start me off and watch me go
I'll be running circles around you sooner than you know
A little off center
and i'm out of tune
just kickin this can along the avenue
But i'm alright
coz it's easy once you know how it's done
you can't stop now
it's already begun
you feel it
running through your bones
and you jerk it out
jerk it out
shut up
hush your mouth
can't you hear you talk to loud?
No I can't hear nothing 'cause I got my head up in the clouds
I bite off anything that I can chew
I'm chasing cars up and down the avenue
But that's ok
coz it's easy once you know how it's done
you can't stop now
it's already begun
you feel it
running through your bones
so you jerk it out
jerk it out
Caesars is a Swedish alternative rock band. In their native Sweden, the band was originally known as Caesars Palace, and in the rest of Scandinavia they are known as Twelve Caesars. Elsewhere they go by the name Caesars. Outside of Sweden, they may be best known for the song "Jerk It Out", which was originally featured in the snowboarding video Afterbang in 2002 and later appeared in an iPod advertisement in 2005, as well as the Electronic Arts video games SSX 3 and FIFA Football 2004, also known as FIFA Soccer 2004 and on the PlayStation 2 game LMA Manager 2005, and arcade game Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova. The song is featured on their 39 Minutes of Bliss (In an Otherwise Meaningless World), Paper Tigers, and Love For The Streets albums. They have won Swedish Grammy Awards for best album and best new artist. Their song "We Got to Leave" is the theme music to the television series Confessions of a Matchmaker.
Caesars' new album, entitled "Strawberry Weed", was released in Scandinavia on March 5, 2008. This 24-track long double album was produced by Ebbot Lundberg from Soundtrack Of Our Lives. A significant difference from previous albums is that guitarist Joakim Åhlund and drummer Nino Keller share vocal duty with César Vidal.[1]
Band member Joakim Ahlund is also a founding memeber of the Teddybears.
