Electric Light Orchestra - Prologue/Twilight

 
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream
The strangest pictures I have seen?
Night is day, and twilight's gone away

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me

Across the night, I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here
But can you take me back?
In sight, the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here, and then you go away

(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

(Twilight, twilight)
(Twilight) I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me

You brought me here
But can you take me back again?

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time
To steal my mind

(Twilight) I only meant to stay awhile
(Twilight) I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight (Twilight)
Twilight (Twilight)

Electric Light Orchestra - Shine A Little Love

 
Although the things you've done, I wouldn't criticize
I guess you had your way
You see, I gotta make you understand

I know it sounds a foolish thing to say
But it don't matter, baby
'Cause today's another day

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Remember, tonight we're gonna run 'til dawn
Remember, tonight we're gonna say
We'll never stop, we got a good thing goin' on

I know you've heard it all before
But I really need you, darlin'
Every day, I need you more

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Can you understand (yes, I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
Hu, hu, hu-ha, hu-ha, hu-ha, hu-ha, hu

It's been a year now and it's gettin' so much better
Came home without a word
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her

They couldn't see and they just didn't understand
And lookin' in the mirror
There were fools at either hand

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Can you understand (yes, I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
Hu-ah-aah-aah-aah-aah-hu-aah, hu

How many days had I been waitin' there to tell you
I really can't believe
We're walkin' out into the world tonight

We'll do it all again until the break of light
And the feeling in your heart
Will soon be shinin' in your eyes

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

You shine a little love on my life (Shine on me)
You shine a little love on my life (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

You shine a little love on my life (Shine)
You shine a little love on my life (E.L.O.)
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Olivia Newton John & Electric Light Orchestra - Xanadu

 
A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
(The days you cried can't be denied)
And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
(The dream in you, they offer you)

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me, eternally

Xanadu
Xanadu (Now we are here)
In Xanadu (Xanadu)
Xanadu
Xanadu (Now we are here)
In Xanadu

Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you, Xanadu

The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know
They are in Xanadu
(The love you gave, you'll dream away)
The dream that came through a million years
That lived on through all the tears
It came to Xanadu
(The dream in you, they offer you)

A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me, eternally

Xanadu
Xanadu (Now we are here)
In Xanadu (Xanadu)
Xanadu
Xanadu (Now we are here)
In Xanadu (Xanadu, Xanadu)

Now that I'm here, now that you're near
In Xanadu
Now that I'm here, now that you're near
In Xanadu
Xanadu
