Song 1
Where do I begin to tell the story
Of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than a sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to the empty world of mine
They’ll never be another love another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
Angel songs and wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That any where I go I’m never lonely
With her around who could be lonely
I reach for her hand
She’s always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her until the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there.
S3: Imagine you and me
We’re flying above the sea
Feeling free in this love symphony
Out of time, out of place
Somewhere inside my universe
Where you live your dreams.
S4: How Do I Love Thee
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breath and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the end of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for night.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love you with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love you with the breath.
Smiles, tears, of all my life, and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Song 2
S5 Feelings
(Author Carol D. Meeks)
I didn’t know I could love
anyone as much as I love you
for the sound of your voice,
makes all my dreams come true.
You walk into a room, and
I know you have arrived;
My heart skips a beat when
You walk up to my side.
I hope this kind of magic stays
Forever between us two,
And the whole wide world will
Know that God sent me to you
S6: No more tears to cry,
No more words to lie,
No more reasons to talk,
No more roads to walk.
No more oaths to give,
No more things to believe,
No more hours to pray,
No more promise to say.
No more souls to steal,
No more heartbreak to feel.
No more doors to be knocked,
No more hearts to be rocked.
No desires to have,
No more secrets to save,
No despairs to hide,
It's cruelty besides.
Song 3
S7: My Love
( by Tasha Shores)
My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.
My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.
My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It’s to you that I surrender.
S8: Your name
(by Jessica Blade)
I wrote your name in the sky,
But the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
But the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
And forever it will stay.
Song 4
No New Year’s Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts
To give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here’s just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that
I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer’s high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light
One tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words
Could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart, of my heart
S 9: Robert Burns
A Red, Red Rose
O my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
O my love is like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bony lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a'the seas gang dry.
Till a'the seas gang dry, my dear.
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
An I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fair thee weel, my only luve,
And fair thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!
S10: She Walks in Beauty
by Lord Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind of peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent.
S 11: Love Philosophy
by Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion,
Nothing in the world is single:
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother.
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?
Song 5
S1: Love has been sung by poets in all languages.
S2: One of the greatest is William Shakespeare whose sonnets we still admire.
S12: 141
In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note,
But ‘tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.
Nor are mine cars with thy tongue’s tune delighted,
No tender feelings to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits, nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unswayed the likeness of a man,
Thy proud heart’s slave and vassal wretch to be:
Only my plague thus far I count my gain
That she that makes me sin, awards me pain.
S13 145
Those lips that Love’s own hand did make,
Breathed forth the sound that said ‘I hate’,
To me that languished for her sake:
But when she saw my woeful state,
Straight in her heart did mercy come,
Chiding that tongue that ever sweet,
Was used in giving gentle doom
And taught it thus anew to greet:
‘I hate’ she altered with an end,
That followed it as gentle day,
Doth follow night who like a fiend
From heaven to hell is flown away.
‘I hate’, from hate away she threw,
And saved my life saying ‘not you’.
Song 6
S1: Love poetry sounds great both in English and in Russian. You can easily guess the authors of these unforgettable poems by Russian poets.
S14 Alexander Pushkin
I loved you so, and ,maybe, my affection
Has not yet faded, living as afore,
But now you are free from worry and vexation,
I do not want to grieve you any more.
I loved you hopelessly, in silence, really,
Now torn with jealousy, now shy as kid.
I loved you so sincerely, so dearly,-
God grant that someone loves you like I did.
S 15: Mikhail Lermontov
The one I am in love with isn’t really you,
Your charm is not for me, as it appears,
I love in you the bygone pain and tears
And the departed youth that I went through.
And when, my friend, at times, I look at you,
When deep into your eyes I do intently stare
I hold a magic conversation, I declare!
But you are not the one that I’m talking to.
I talk with an engaging girl-friend of my youth,
And in your face I look for other features,
The living lips are silent now and speechless,
And in the eyes the fire has died down, in truth.
S16: Marina Tsvetaeva
Poems to Blok
Your name is a bird on my palm.
Your name is ice on my tongue.
Your name is a stone in a swamp.
It is a bullet, and a cramp.
Your name is an invisible moment of my lips,
A kiss in the eyes,
My breath in your hold.
Sometimes – a reasonable advise.
Sometimes – snow, and a scold.
A horse on a cloud,
A ball which I try to catch,
A candle which is blown out,
A painful skin scratch…
It is a light from darkness,
A nap which is deep and clean.
Your name is a holy sparkle,
A game which I need to win.
Song 7
October and April
She was like April sky
Sunrise in her eyes
Child of light, shining star
Fire in her heart
Brightest day, melting snow
Breaking though the chill
October and April
He was like frozen sky
In October night
Darkest cloud in the storm
Raining from the heart
Coldest month, deepest too
Tearing from the spring
October and April
Like hate and love
World’s apart
This fatal love was like poison
Right from the start
Like Light and Dark
World’s apart
This fatal love was like poison
Right from the start
We were like loaded guns
Sacrificed our lives
We were like love and undone
Craving to entwine
Fatal touch
Final thrill
Love was bound to kill
October and April
Hate and love
World’s apart
Light and dark
World’s apart
This fatal love was like poison
Right from the start
October and April
October and April
October and April
S1: And now we can realize what love is…
S2: Love is an energy
S1: Love is a mystery
S2: Love is meant to be true
S1: Love is a part of me
S2: Love is the heart of me
S1: Love is the best thing we do
S2: You are my waking dream
S2: You are all that’s real to me
S1: Love is when we feel the deepest, the sweetest emotions and say to our sweethearts the softest words
S2: You are the magic in the world I see
S1: You are the prayer I sing
S2: You are the faith that made me believe
S1: You are my ocean waves
S2: You are my thought each day
S1: You are the laughter from childhood games
S2: You are the spark of dawn
S1: You are where I belong
S2: You are the ache I feel in every song
Song 8
Paradise
Could it be the little things you do to me
Like waking up aside you it’s so new to me
Life can be so full of danger
In the dark there lurks a stranger
I just can imagine what he wants with me
When I’m with you it’s paradise
No place on Earth would be so nice
Through the crystal waterfall
I hear you call
Just take my hand it’s paradise
You kiss me once I kiss you twice
As I gaze into your eyes
I realize it’s paradise
It’s right out of something from a fairy tale
Terribly exiting and a scary tale
It’s nothing I could ever make up
Am I dreaming will I wake up
Just to find out this is to be reality
When I’m with you it’s paradise
No place on Earth will be so nice
Through the cristal waterfall
I hear you call
Just take my hand it’s paradise
You kiss me once I kiss you twice
As I gaze into your eyes
I realize it’s paradise
Just take my hand it’s paradise
You kiss me once I kiss you twice
As I gaze into your eyes
I realize it’s paradise
As I gaze into your eyes
I realize it’s paradise
Teacher: Dear friends! Let your love be not a trifle but a real miracle and inspiration which will follow you wherever you are…
