This Reverie
Music – Alexander Nakhimovsky
Lyrics - June Bisantz
In this reverie where I find...
Moments of a dream left behind...
When I think of you
Skies are filled with blue
And the sun always shines
This reverie
This dream of you
Old memories
Become confused
And turn the past into a new reality
The world is just as it should be
All our endings are beginnings
And I’m still with you
Still here with you
Always with you
Within...
This reverie
This dream come true
If only you
Were dreaming too
You’d see the past is gone and we can start anew
To find the dream that we once knew
When you and I were just beginning
And this time we’ll be
Eternally...
In this reverie where we’ll find
The moments of a dream we left behind
Eleven Note Samba
music - Alex Nakhimovsky lyrics - June Bisantz
Listen to my samba with eleven notes Only eleven notes
To play
Music isn’t purely mathematical
But it’s pragmatical to say I know that
Beauty lies in numbers in their symmetry There is a certainty
Of truth
Eleven is the perfect number adding up
to what I know is true
Separately or close together One of Me
One of You
One and one
Makes Two
Listen to my samba with eleven notes Only eleven notes
To say
Nothing in this world is problematical If you’re fanatical
About the numbers
Odd or even they will fundamentally
bring practicality
and truth
Eleven is a lover’s number Adding up
To what I always knew
Separately or close together
One of Me
One of You
One and one (Always will be two) Makes Two
Music - Alexander Nakhimovsky
Lyrics - June Bisantz
Vocalese Interlude - Sergei Rachmaninoff
In a wish that came true everything that I knew
it was all swept away
to reveal a new day
all the colors were new
and the flowers all grew
without fear, without pain, without shame, without blame like a lovely refrain
Rachmaninoff Interlude
in your own fantasy
you decide what will be and the world comes to you just as you wish it to
and new colors will show
and new flowers will grow
without fear, without pain, without blame.....
Music - Alexander Nakhimovsky
Lyrics - June Bisantz
When one day
You walked into
that small cafe
I saw everyone
Watching you
Plotting to
Capture you for their own
Patiently
Waiting for the right Time to be Everything that you Longed to see
I would be
for you
You and I
Began to
Tango time away Until the break of day Shed its light on two Lovers
Since the day
Love began in that Small cafe
I’ll always stay
In Love’ s tango with you
Ocean Dreams -
lyrics - June Bisantz
music - Alex Nakhimovsky!
Sailing away
An ocean of dreams keeps sweeping me to the sea
The waves and the sand the wave of your hand
is calling softly
to me
That we could be
Together on the moonlit sea
We could be floating free Wrapped within a dream
Still I canʼt stay
Iʼm sailing away
Tossed on a sea of dreaming
The waves come and go
And somehow they know
that there may be no returning
No matter how far
Beyond every star
the question will still be burning
Can lovers survive
Outside of time
Sailing away upon an endless dreaming tide
Sailing away
An ocean of dreams
Keeps sweeping me out
to the
dreaming sea
the endless dreaming sea do you still dream of me?
Well I am dreaming
of you
