LYRICS: With One Look:

With on look

I can break your heart

With one look

I play every part

I can make your sad heart sing

With one look you'll know

All you need to know.

With one smile

I'm the girl next door

Or the love that you've hungered for

When I speak it's with my soul

I can play any role

No words can tell

The stories my eyes tell

Watch me when I frown

You can't write that down

You know I'm right

It's there in black and white

When I look your way

You'll hear what I say.

Yes, with one look

I put words to shame

Just one look

Sets the screen aflame

Silent music starts to play

One tear from my eye

Makes the whole world cry.

With one look

They'll forgive the past

They'll rejoice: I've returned at last

To my people in the dark

Still out there in the dark...

Silent music starts to play

With one look you'll know

All you need to know.

With one look

I'll ignite a blaze

I'll return to my glory days

They'll say Shirley's back at last.

This time I'm staying

I'm staying for good

I'll be back

Where I was born to be

With one look

I'll be me...

LYRICS - As If We Never Said Goodbye:

I don't know why I'm frightened

I know my way around here

The cardboard trees, the painted seas, the sound here...

Yes, a world to rediscover

But I 'm not in any hurry

And I need a moment

The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways

The atmosphere as thrilling here as always

Feel the early morning madness

Feel the magic in the making

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye

I don't want to be alone

That's all in the past

This world's waited long enough

I've come home at last!

And this time will be bigger

And brighter than we knew it

So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...

Could I stop my hand from shaking?

Has there ever been a moment

With so much to live for?

I'm coming out of make-up

The lights already burning

Not long until the cameras will start turning...

We'll have early morning madness

We'll have magic in the making

Yes, everything's as if we never said goodbye

Yes, everything's as if we never said.....

Goodbye!
