“A Thousand And One Nights”
By: Katharine Mcphee & Raza Jaffrey
[Dev:]
Darling, the hands of time must always point ahead, yesterday’s passed
Today has come and gone, the secret of tomorrow’s coming fast
Which bedtime story shall I sing to you when we turn out the lights?
One of eternity or one of just a thousand and one nights?
Is there a mystic with the answers from above?
Is there a goddess with the hourglass of love?
So many questions swirling all around my heart
Is this the end or just the start?
Will I shower you with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart or melt it likes it’s gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights?
[Karen:]
Darling, you seem to think that I’m the only who has to choose
That you are in control and get to set the rules of win or lose
The bedtime story that I’ll sing to you when we turn out the lights
May bring eternity or maybe just a thousand and one nights
There is no mystic with the answers from above
You know the secrets for the way to keep my love
There are a thousand and more ways to win my heart
The list is long but for a start
You can shower me with riches every year the night we met
I may take your heart and melt it like it’s gold
Play in someone’s perfumed garden and this night’s the last you’ll get
Play your cards right and your future just might hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nights
[Karen:]
The man who never chooses finds himself without a choice
[Dev:]
The lucky ones appear to have it all
[Karen:]
The tiger’s just a kitten when his tamer finds her voice
[Dev:]
I surely will obey you when you call
[Ensemble:]
Then will you shower me with riches every year the night we met?
Will you take my heart and melt it likes it’s gold?
Will our love go on forever or is this all that we get?
Is tonight the last or does the future hold
A lifetime of delights
Or just a thousand and one nights
Just a thousand and one nightsI love the collaboration and the bollywood vibe of this performance :) It is so entertaining :)

“Second Hand White Baby Grand”
By: Megan Hilty (Smash)
My mother bought it secondhand from a silent movie star
It was out of tune but still I learned to play
And with each note we both would smile forgetting who we are
And all the pain would simply fly away
Something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound
Even if it doesn’t have a place to live
Oh, the words were left unspoken when my Mama came around
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand still had something beautiful to give
Through missing keys and broken strings the music was our own
Until the day we said our last goodbyes
The baby grand was sent away
A child all alone, to pray somebody else would realize
That something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound
Even if it doesn’t have a place to live
Oh, the words are still unspoken now that Mama’s not around
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand still has something beautiful to give
For many years the music had to roam
Until we found a way to find a home
So now I wake up every day and see her standing there
Just waiting for a partner to compose
And I wish my mother still could hear that sound beyond compare
I’ll play her song till everybody knows
That something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound
Don’t we all deserve a family room to live
Oh, the words can’t stay unspoken until everyone has found
That Secondhand White Baby Grand that still has something beautiful to give
I still have something beautiful to giveThis song also made me cry inside. :(I love Smash!!! :)Credits for Lyrics: www.azlyrics.comCredits for Video: www.youtube.com -

Don’t Forget Me
by: Katharine Mcphee (Smash)
They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity
But now rise above it all
Yes, the price I paid was all I had
But at last, I found release
And if something good can come from bad
The past can rest in peace
Oh if you see someone’s hurt
And in need of a hand
You don’t forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don’t forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won’t;
I pray that you don’t forget me
But forget every man who I ever met
‘Cause they only lived to control
For a kiss they paid a thousand
Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul
They took their piece
The price of fame that no one can repay
Ah, but they didnt buy me when they bought my name
And that is why I pray
That when you see someone’s hurt
And in need of a hand
You don’t forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You don’t forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please say that you won’t;
I pray that you don’t forget me
There are some in this world who have strength of their own
Never broken or in need of repair
But there are some born to shine who can’t do it alone
So protect them and take special care
Take care
And don’t forget me
Please take care
And don’t forget me
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light shining bright from afar
Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be
Let me be that starThis song made me cry inside. :( It is a beautiful song. I love it.

“Stand”
What do you do
When you’ve done all you can
And it seems like you can’t make it through
And what do you say when your friends turn away
You’re alone
Tell me what do you give
When you’ve given your all
And it seem like you can’t make it through
Well you just stand when there’s nothing left to do
You just stand
Watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you’ve done all you can
You just stand
Tell me what do you do
When you given your all and it seems
It seems you can’t make it through
Well you just stand
When there’s nothing left to do you just stand
Watch the Lord see you through
Yes after you do all you can
You just stand
Stand and be sure
And be not entangled
In bondage again
Stand and endure
God has a plan
God has a plan tell me what do you do
When you don’t know
And it seems like you can’t make it through
Through the storm
Through the rain
Through the hurt
I’ll through the pain
I’ll hold on
I’ll be strong
God will stand in
It won’t be long
After you’ve done all you can
You just stand
This song is very inspirational. I also love the rendition of the Smash Cast. It will surely touch your soul just as it touches mine. :)
