We sit on a bench in Stuyvesant Town, stumbling into one another with words: Perhaps I am submerged in your heart like one of those pennies in the fountain; Perhaps that saxophone player does have
Memories. Scrapbook full of memories Most dear to me. Sudden separation from civilization,

All I need is you, One plus one equals two. All I need is your smile, You keep me happy for quite a while. All I need is your love, The clouds you make me fly above. All I need is us,
At daybreak, the world seems at ease At twilight, the horrors of nightmare seize; They seize the light and lock it away, They throw away the hope, they will leave you astray. So when posed with the question: What can you live without? Light my fri

All I need is love. When the world is crashing down around me, When I feel I can't step forward, Your touch and your words help me go on.   All I need is love.
The sun beat down on her face in harsh rays The wind blew around her She could smell the salt from the water The concrete scratched at her feet

I cannot live with clouds that demand to be seen and stars that are covered over with falsely-applied beauty. 
 I cannot live with black skies that force darkness into hearts
It’s scorching hot here,On my deserted island,Where the sun blazes all year!   My throat is just so dry,I need a drink,Cool droplets from the sky!
