It′s not how long we held each other's hand
What matters is how well we loved each other
It′s not how far we travelled on our way
Of what we found to say
It's not the spring you see, but all the shades of green

It's not how long I held you in my arms
What matters is how sweet the years together
It′s not how many summertimes we had to give to fall
The early morning smiles we tearfully recall
What matters most is that we loved at all.

It′s not how many summertimes we had to give to fall
The early morning smiles we tearfully recall
What matters most is that we loved at all
What matters most is that we loved at all

Alone In The World
Sung by Patti Austin

Music composed by Jerry Goldsmith
Lyrics written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman

Producer – Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Branford Marsalis

収録アルバム
John Williams
The Russia House OST
MCA, 1990


Tonight
Why not pretend
We′re alone in the world
And that we're safe
From the storm out there
You′ll be the only love
That I've known in the world
No clocks to measure
The time we share

Out there the winds
Are bitter cold
And there is too much pain
And far too little love
To few others who care

We're here and now
Is all that we own in the world
And love′s the refuge
That sees us through
Sleep inside my arms
Kiss the world away
Let tomorrow come
Let me face the day
With you

That here and now
Is all that we own in the world
And love′s the refuge
That sees us through
Sleep inside my arms
Kiss the world away
Let tomorrow come
Let me face the day
With you

Moonlight
Sung by Sting

Music written by John Williams
Lyrics written by Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman

Producer – Kim Turner, Sting

収録アルバム
John Williams
Sabrina (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
A&M, 1995



In the moonlight
When the shadows play
When the thought of what could happen
Takes your breath away
Sighs and whispers
Quiet laughter in the air
Unspoken invitations everywhere

In the moonlight
All the words you say
Make it relatively easy
To be swept away
In the half light
Can we trust the way we feel
Can we be sure that anything is real?

Stars keep secrets as they wander indiscretely
While the echoes of a song go drifting by
We must be careful not to lose our way completely
Or the magic that we seek here
We can't be sure will be here

In the morning
With the moon away
And if in each other's arms
Is where we're meant to stay

In the love light
When our eyes have grown accustomed to the daylight
We'll see what waits for us to share
For all the things we've dreamed of in the moonlight
Will be there
