I NEED YOU (JESUS, 1999)

“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” – Jesus

Much have been made into movies and tv specials about the life of Jesus Christ. Such one is simply called Jesus made in the late ‘90’s. A two-part t.v.vmovie, it shows not only the life but the work and death of Jesus. LeAnn Rimes sung the soulful and timeless theme of the tv movie about needing The someone all above else. The title says it all.


I NEED YOU
sung by: LeAnn Rimes

I don't need a lot of things

I can get by with nothing

Of all the blessings life can bring

I've always needed something

But I've got all I want

When it comes to loving you

You're my only reason

You're my only truth

I need you like water

Like breath, like rain

I need you like mercy

From heaven's gate

There's a freedom in your arms

That carries me through

I need you

You're the hope that moves me

To courage again

You're the love that rescues me

When the cold winds, rage

And it's so amazing

'Cause that's just how you are

And I can't turn back now

'Cause you've brought me too far

I need you like water

Like breath, like rain

I need you like mercy

From heaven's gate

There's a freedom in your arms

That carries me through

I need you

Oh yes I do

I need you like water

Like breath, like rain

I need you like mercy

From heaven's gate

There's a freedom in your arms

And it carries me through

I need you

Oh yes I do

I need you

ahh I need you

I WON’T SAY I’M IN LOVE (HERCULES, 1997)

“I trained all those would-be heroes. Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus. A lot of "yeuseus." And every one of those bums let me down flatter than a discus. None of them could go the distance.” – Phil

A fun sequence in Disney's take on Hercules, I Won’t Say I’m In Love is a charming song number when Meg (Susan Egan as vocals) is slowly falling for Hercules but tries to deny it. Cute.


I WON’T SAY I’M IN LOVE
sung by: Susan Egan

Meg:

If there's a prize for rotten judgement

I guess I've already won that

No man is worth the aggravation

That's ancient history, been there, done that!

Muses:

Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'

He's the Earth and heaven to you

Try to keep it hidden

Honey, we can see right through you

Girl, ya can't conceal it

We know how ya feel and

Who you're thinking of

Meg:

No chance, no way

I won't say it, no, no

Muses:

You swoon, you sigh

Why deny it, uh-oh

Meg:

It's too cliche

I won't say I'm in love

I thought my heart had learned its lesson

It feels so good when you start out

My head is screaming get a grip, girl

Unless you're dying to cry your heart out

Oh

Muses:

You keep on denying

Who you are and how you're feeling

Baby, we're not buying

Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling

Face it like a grown-up

When ya gonna own up

That ya got, got, got it bad

Meg:

No chance, now way

I won't say it, no, no

Muses:

Give up, give in

Check the grin you're in love

Meg:

This scene won't play

I won't say I'm in love

Muses:

You're doin flips read our lips

You're in love

Meg:

You're way off base

I won't say it

Get off my case

I won't say it

Muses:

Girl, don't be proud

It's O.K. you're in love

Meg:

Oh

At least out loud

I won't say I'm in love

GAMBLER (VISION QUEST, 1985)

“But all I ever settled for is that we're born to live and then to die, and... we got to do it alone, each in his own way. And I guess that's why we got to love those people who deserve it like there's no tomorrow. 'Cause when you get right down to it - there isn't.” – Louden Swain

The song Gambler though famous in the ‘80’s was overshadowed by Madonna’s other and more famous song Crazy For You in the movie Vision Quest. Sporting a very different look and pretty much one of her early career image can be seen while singing (and dancing) to Gambler.


GAMBLER
sung by: Madonna

Gambler, gambler

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise

Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes

Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say

'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

Don't want to say this but I think that I should

I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'd be good

One day you see me the next day I'm gone

Don't fight me baby I don't want to hold on

I'm a gambler, a gambler

You're not happy with the way I act

You better turn around boy, don't look back

You're getting angry, you know I can see

You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

You can't stop me now

'Cause I'm right and I'm making advances

Let me show you how

Tonight, I'll be taking my chances

On you, on you, on you, on you, that's right baby

I'm a gambler, gambler

You understand what I'm talking about?

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

I'm a gambler, a gambler

Gambler, 'cause I'm a gambler

You can't stop me now

I'm on the road baby I know how

You can't stop me now

Oh no

You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now

'Cause I'm a gambler, yeah

I'm a gambler

That's right baby

LOVE COMES WITHOUT A WARNING (THE LONELY GUY, 1984)

“I know phony sweat when I smell it. When you first came in,

I thought you were Larry Bird.” – Iris

The opening song of The Lonely Guy is sung by the famous group America. Love Comes Without A Warning is one of the lesser known songs of the group but known to their loyal listeners. The opening theme sets the mood for the life of the titular character played with ease by funnyman Steve Martin.


LOVE COMES WITHOUT A WARNING
sung by: America

When life was just empty rooms

For company I'd talk to the moon

I danced along to my own song

That no one could hear

When nights were silent and dark

I'd lie in shadows, stare at the stars

The quiet voice that lifted my heart

Was always so clear

It told me...

The chance for love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love comes without warning

So be ready for love

I dreamed it thousands of times

I even felt your skin touchin' mine

Sometimes you were so clear in my mind

I knew you were here

It kept me...

Believin' love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love comes without warning

So be ready for love

Yours are the eyes

I have spent my life lookin' for

If they're not telling lies

You were lookin' for me

I wanna tell everyone

Who's waitin' in the dark for the sun

Before your chance in life is gone

You'll be in the light

Remember...

The chance of love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning

So be ready for love

Your chance for love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning

So be ready for love

Your chance for love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning

So be ready for love

IF I NEVER KNEW YOU (POCAHONTAS, 1995)

“My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We've all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.” – Powhatan

The actual love theme of Disney's Pocahontas. Singers Jon Secada and Shanice duet for the song If I Never Knew You that speaks for the love between Pocahontas (Irene Bedard) and Capt. John Smith (Mel Gibson). One of the few based on true character the famous animated studio has ever made.

IF I NEVER KNEW YOU
sung by: Jon Secada & Shanice

If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

And if I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes

So dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we made the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night

But still my heart is singing

We were right

If I never knew you

(There's no moment I regret)

If I never knew this love

(Since the moment that we met)

I would have no inkling of

(If our time has gone too fast)

How precious life can be

(I've lived at last...)

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you

WHAT IS LOVE (SUPERGIRL, 1984)

“Leave this place and do no harm!” – Supergirl

Though no love theme with vocals was ever recorded in Superman’s famous cousin Kara (Helen Slater), Supergirl brought by the same producer who made us believe a man can fly, manages to give instead a ‘soaring’ theme conducted by Jerry Goldsmith especially in the first flying sequence of Supergirl. '80's pop song What Is Love by Howard Jones is heard during Selena's party played by Faye Dunaway.


WHAT IS LOVE
sung by: Howard Jones

I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think I don’t
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you
But I don’t mind
Why should I mind, Why should I mind

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why I don’t mind you doubting

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

BANG BANG (MY BABY SHOT ME DOWN) (KILL BILL VOL. 1, 2003)

“Bill... it's your baby...” – The Bride

Director Quentin Tarantino always has the knack for using appropriate songs for his movies specifically in each of his movie scenes. Such as the one in the first of his epic revenge, Kill Bill Vol. 1. Nancy Sinatra sung with such raw emotion the song Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).

BANG BANG (MY BABY SHOT ME DOWN)
sung by: Nancy Sinatra

I was five and he was six

We rode on horses made of sticks

He wore black and I wore white

He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time

When I grew up, I called him mine

He would always laugh and say

"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down

Bang bang, you hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played, and people sang

Just for me, the church bells rang

Now he's gone, I don't know why

And till this day, sometimes I cry

He didn't even say goodbye

He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down

Bang bang, I hit the ground

Bang bang, that awful sound

Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

MOONLIGHT (SABRINA, 1995)

“Paris is always a good idea.” – Sabrina

The classic Sabrina has been given a ‘90’s touch via Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond starrer. While not as captivating as the Audrey Hepburn classic, it’s still fun and easy to watch. Sting provided the song Moonlight. His voice is pitch perfect for the theme of the movie.


MOONGLIGHT
sung by: Sting

In the moonlight

When the shadows play

When the thought of what could happen

Takes your breath away

Sighs and whispers

Quiet laughter in the air

Unspoken invitations everywhere

In the moonlight

All the words you say

Make it relatively easy

To be swept away

In the half light

Can we trust the way we feel

Can we be sure that anything is real?

Stars keep secrets as they wander indiscreetly

While the echoes of a song go drifting by

We must be careful not to lose our way completely

Or the magic that we seek here

We can't be sure will be here

In the morning

With the moon away

And if in each other's arms

Is where we're meant to stay

In the love light

When our eyes have grown accustomed to the daylight

We'll see what waits for us to share

For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight

Will be there

LADY, LADY, LADY (FLASHDANCE, 1983)

“I don't want you buying me anything. I don't want you buying me, period!” – Alex Owens

The love theme of Flashdance, Lady Lady Lady sung by Joe Esposito plays well during the course of the film when Alex Owens (the ageless Jennifer Beals) is falling for Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) while helping her realized her dream to be a profesional dancer. One of the great dance movies in the '80's that still holds up well.


LADY, LADY, LADY
sung by: Joe Esposito

Frightened by a dream, you're not the only one

Running like the wind, thoughts can come undone

Dancing behind masks, just sort of pantomime

But images reveal whatever lonely hearts can hide

Lady, lady, lady, lady, don't walk this lonely avenue

Lady, lady, lady, lady, let me touch that part of you, you want me to

Lady, lady, lady, lady, I know it's in your heart to stay

Lady, lady, lady, lady, when will I ever hear you say, I love you

Time like silent stares, with no apology

Move towards the stars, and be my only one

Reach into the light, and feel love's gravity

That pulls you to my side, where you should always be

Lady, lady, lady, lady, don't walk this lonely avenue

Lady, lady, lady, lady, let me touch that part of you, you want me to

Lady, lady, lady, lady, I know it's in your heart to stay

Lady, lady, lady, lady...

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME (BEAUTIFUL THING, 1996)

“An urban fairytale.” - tagline

A different kind of young love is the subject of the film Beautiful Thing, that of two teen boys Jamie and Ste (Glen Berry & Scott Neal). A commendable film about discovering oneself. One of the songs by The Mamas and the Papas are wonderfully played during the movie, Dream A Littel Dream Of Me.

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME
sung by: The Mamas And The Papas

Stars shining bright above you

Night breezes seem to whisper I love you?

Birds singing in the sycamore tree

Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me

Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me

While I'm alone, blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear

Still craving your kiss

I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear

Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you

Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you

But in your dreams, whatever they be

Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear

Still craving your kiss

I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear

Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you

Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you

But in your dreams, whatever they be

Dream a little dream of me

YOU’RE SO VAIN (DICK, 1999)

“You can't let Dick control your life!” – Betsy Jobs

A very apt tune in the movie, the song You’re So Vain by Carly Simon sums up the qualitities on what Arlene Lorenzo (Michelle Williams) thought of her once very famous teen-love, Richard Nixon. Dick is a refreshing and clever take on the infamous Watergate scandal. And the song heard almost at the end of the movie could only be sung by Carly Simon herself.


YOU’RE SO VAIN
sung by: Carly Simon

You walked into the party

Like you were walking onto a yacht

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye

Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye in the mirror

As you watched yourself gavotte

And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner

They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you?

Don't you?

You had me several years ago

When I was still quite naive

Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair

And that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved

And one of them was me

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you?

Don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you?

Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga

And your horse naturally won

Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia

To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well, you're where you should be all the time

And when you're not, you're with

Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend

Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain

I'll bet you think this song is about you

Don't you?

Don't you?

IF I FELL (A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, 1964)

“Has success changed your life?” – reporter

Another famous song from the Fab Four's equally famous movie A Hard Day's Night. If I Fell proved to be not only popular to the loyal Beatles fans but crosses boundaries even by today's music when other singers rendered their own version of the song. One of those feel-good tunes from the Beatles.


IF I FELL
sung by: The Beatles

If I fell in love with you

Would you promise to be true

And help me understand?

'Cause I been in love before

And I found that love was more

Than just holding hands

If I give my heart

To you

I must be sure

From the very start

That you

Would love me more than her

If I trust in you

Oh, please

Don't run and hide

If I love you, too

Oh, please

Don't hurt my pride like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I

Would be sad if our new love

Was in vain

So I hope you'll see

That I

Would love to love you

And that she

Will cry

When she learns we are two

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I

Would be sad if our new love

Was in vain

So I hope you'll see

That I

Would love to love you

And that she

Will cry

When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you

JUST MY IMAGINATION (DUETS, 2000)

“Six lost souls in search of a little harmony.” – tagline

A reworking of the famous song years ago, Just My Imagination was sung by one of Duets leads, Gwyneth Paltrow along with singer/songwriter Babyface. A nice rendition and a great soundtrack what with the film's theme itself, songs.

JUST MY IMAGINATION
sung by: Gwyneth Paltrow & Babyface

Each day through my window

I watch him as he passes by

I say to myself

I'm so lucky he's so fly

To have a boy like him

Out of all the girlies in the world he belongs to you

But it was just my imagination

Runnin' away with me

Tell you it was just my imagination

Running away with me

Soon we'll be married

And raise a family (oh yeah)

Have a cozy little crib in the country

With two children maybe three

'Cause too real it all seems oooohhhh

But it was just my imagination (once again yeah)

I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE (THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES, 1996)

“It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat

at the same table.” – Rose Morgan

The actual and more famous theme from The Mirror Has Two Faces is the duet of the star herself, Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams. Complementing the core of the movie itself, the theme is about two people conversing. Nice. The song was nominated both at the Oscars and the Golden Globe for best original song.


I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE
sung by: Bryan Adams & Barbra Streisand

I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet

I finally found the one, who makes me feel complete

We started over coffee, we started out as friends

It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time it's different (dah dah dah dah)

It's all because of you (dah dah dah dah)

It's better than it's ever been

'Cause we can talk it through

My favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"

It's all you had to say to take my breath away

This is it, oh

I finally found someone

Someone to share my life

I finally found the one

To be with every night

'Cause whatever I do

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun

I finally found someone (ooh, someone)

I finally found someone (ooh)

Did I keep you waiting (I didn't mind)

I apologize (baby, that's fine)

I would wait forever just to know you were mine

And I love your hair (sure it looks right?)

I love what you wear (isn't it too tight?)

You're exceptional

I can't wait for the rest of my life

This is it, oh

I finally found someone

Someone to share my life

I finally found the one

To be with every night

'Cause whatever I do

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun

I finally found someone (ooh, someone)

I finally found someone (ooh)

'Cause whatever I do

It's just got to be you

My life has just begun

I finally found someone

CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU (CONSPIRACY THEORY, 1997)

“What if your most paranoid nightmares

had just come true?” – tagline

In an unlikely pairing of Julia Roberts and Mel Gibson, that is shying away in a romcom genre, they made an interesting flick about a man named Jerry Fletcher (Gibson) who views the world via endless conspiracies until he made a discovery that challenges his beliefs and endangers him as well as the woman he sees and love from afar, Alice Sutton (Roberts). The popular song of Frankie Valli has been used in the film to great effect, Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

CAN’T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU
sung by: Frankie Valli

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

You'd be like Heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare

There's nothing else to compare

The sight of you leaves me weak

There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel

Please let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

I love you, baby

And if it's quite alright

I need you, baby

To warm a lonely night

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby

Don't bring me down, I pray

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay

And let me love you, baby

Let me love you

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

You'd be like Heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off you

I love you, baby

And if it's quite alright

I need you, baby

To warm a lonely night

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby

Don't bring me down, I pray

Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay

I CAN WAIT FOREVER (GHOSTBUSTERS, 1984)

“Ray, if someone asks if you are a god, you say, ‘yes!’”

– Winston Zeddmore

‘80’s blockbuster family fare is about a group of parapsychology profs/scientists stumbled upon an idea on how to 'bust' ghosts and other otherwordly beings. So came an agency called Ghostbusters. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as Drs. Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddmore. The song I Can Wait Forever by Air Supply, though barely audible in the movie stands as one of the entries in the film's soundtrack.


I CAN WAIT FOREVER

sung by: Air Supply

When you say, I miss the things you do

I just wanna get back close again to you

But for now, your voice is near enough

How I miss you, when I miss you, love

And though, all the days that pass me by so slow

All the emptiness inside me flows, all around

And there's no way out I'm just thinkin' so much of you

There was never any doubt

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait forever, if you will

I know it's worth it all

To spend my life alone with you

When it looked, as though my life was wrong

You took my love and gave it somewhere to belong

I'll be here, when hope is out of sight

I just wish that I was next to you tonight

And oh I'll be reachin' for you even though

You'll be somewhere else, my love will go

Like a bird, on it's way back home

I could never let you go, and I just want you to know

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait forever, if you will, I know it's worth it all

To spend my life alone with you

Where are you know?

Alone, with the thoughts we share

Keep them strong somehow

And you know, I'll always be there

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait, forever if you will

I know it's worth it all

To spend my life alone

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait, forever if you will

I can wait forever or more

I can wait forever

BIG YELLOW TAXI (TWO WEEKS NOTICE, 2002)

“Please don't tell me you called me out of a wedding

to pick out a suit.” – Lucy Kelson

Sandra Bullock plays the neurotic lawyer Lucy Kelson who’s at odds with her own client, the cocky millionaire George Wade (Hugh Grant). One of Sandra Bullock's signature romcom style. Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton provided their version of Big Yellow Taxi.


BIG YELLOW TAXI
sung by: Counting Crows & Vanessa Carlton

Adam Duritz:

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Vanessa Carlton:

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Adam:

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum

And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

No, no, no

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Vanessa:

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Adam:

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT

I don't care about spots on my apples

Leave me the birds and the bees

Please

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

ALL FOR LOVE (THE THREE MUSKETEERS, 1993)

“Fear not, my son, we are with you, always... all for one...” – Aramis

A fun retelling of the adventures of the famous three musketeers Athos (Kiefer Sutherland), Porthos (Oliver Platt) and Aramis (Charlie Sheen). Along came D'Artagnan (Chris O’Donnell) who wants to stop the scheming Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry). Just as the musketeers were three, so does the singers who sung All For Love, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting.


ALL FOR LOVE
sung by: Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting

When it's love you give

(I'll be a man of good faith)

Then in love you live

(I'll make a stand, I won't break)

I'll be the rock you can build on

Be there when you're old

To have and to hold

When there's love inside

(I swear I'll always be strong)

Then there's a reason why

(I'll prove to you we belong)

I'll be the wall that protects you

From the wind and the rain

From the hurt and pain

Let's make it all for one and all for love

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

When it's love you make

(I'll be the fire in your night)

Then it's love you take

(I will defend, I will fight)

I'll be there when you need me

When honor's at stake

This vow I will make

That it's all for one and all for love

Let the one be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

And make it all for one and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest

'Cause we could stand up to you test

We got everything and more than we had planned

More than the rivers that run the land

We've got it all in our hands

Now it's all for one and all for love

(It's all for love)

Let the one you hold be the one you want

The one you need

'Cause when it's all for one it's one for all

(It's one for all)

When there's someone that should know

Then just let your feelings show

When there's someone that you want

When there's someone that you need

Let's make it all, all for one and all for love

ALL I WANT IS YOU (REALITY BITES, 1994)

“I am not under any orders to make the world a better place.”

– Troy Dyer

One of the greatest and true band group U2 sung one of their popular songs in Reality Bites. All I Want Is You was heard during the latter part of the film when Lelaina (played by Winona Ryder), lying in bed, smokes cigar and contemplates about her relationship with Troy (Ethan Hawke).


ALL I WANT IS YOU
sung by: U2

You say you want

Diamonds on a ring of gold

You say you want

Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

You say you'll give me

A highway with no one on it

Treasure just to look upon it

All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me

Eyes in a moon of blindness

A river in a time of dryness

A harbour in the tempest

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

You say you want

Your love to work out right

To last with me through the night

You say you want

Diamonds on a ring of gold

Your story to remain untold

Your love not to grow cold

All the promises we break

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

You...all I want is...

You...all I want is...

You...all I want is...

You...

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM (RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS, 2001)

"Remember, I am your mother. And that means you're not allowed to stay mad at me." - Beverly Donofrio

Based on a true story of a writer wannabe young woman who has a son at the age of 15. One of Drew Barrymore's better roles who plays Beverly Donofrio. The very catchy Everly Brothers song All I Have To Do Is Dream was not written for the movie but very much set the film's mood notably when Beverly was just a kid.

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM

sung by: The Everly Brothers

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms

When I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night

And I need you to hold me tight

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine

Anytime night or day

Only trouble is, gee whiz I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine

Anytime night or day

Only trouble is, gee whiz I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
