Lyrics Idina Menzel - Follow If You Lead

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Follow If You Lead

In this jury
There are peddlers and disbelievers
In this fountain
There are silver dollars and penniless creatures

[Chorus:]
It's your gravity and your hot air balloons
That keep you real and dare to dream with you
That when they pull you too far
You must learn to forgive and ask your heart
Will I lose a friend
Striving to contend?
Will I destroy this trust
When I want the best for us?
Should I hold your hand
No matter what you plan?
For every hour you need
I will follow, if you lead

In this home
There is family and just familiar faces
In this pilgrimmage
We disavow our brothers and confide in strangers

[Chorus]

Would you have believed
That the earth was flat or round?
Would you have bet you lived before
Or is this your first time around?
Do you believe we're here to learn?
Do you dream in black or white
Or are you colouring your lost and found
To make it bright?

[Chorus]

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Once Upon A Time

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Once Upon A Time

All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put us back together
again.
We huffed and we puffed
And we blew this house down.
Well, we tried.
Yeah, we tried.

The sticks and the stones
Were breakin' my bones,
And the names that were said kinda hurt us.
Riddle me this and riddle me that.
What went wrong?
What went wrong?

When did the sun stop shinin'?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.

Sometimes I wih upon a star
To give you a reason to give me your heart.
Rockaby baby, you rocked me goodbye.
Tell me why.
Tell me why.

When did the sun stop shinin'?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.

All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put us back together
again.
We huffed and we puffed
And we blew this house down.
Well, we tried..
Oh, we tried...
Oh, you know we tried...

When did the sun stop shinin'?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember
Yeah, I remember.

(When did the sun)
When did the sun stop shinin'?
When did we turn into two divided?
I guess we will never really know why,
But I remember once upon a time.
Once upon a time..

Oh, la dee dee da da Lai lai dai dai...
La dee dee da da lai lai dai dai...

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Brave

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Brave

Don't know just where I'm going
And tomorrow, it's a little overwhelming
And the air is cold
And I'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction
For to long now
I've lost my own reflection
And I can't look down
If you're not there to catch me when I fall

[Chorus]
If this is the moment I stand here on my own
If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid
But it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last chance before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid
Cause it's my turn to be brave

All along all I ever wanted, was to be the light
When your life was daunting
But I can't see mine
When I feel as though you're pushing me away
Well who's to blame, are we making the right choices
Cause we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices
As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay

[Chorus]

And I might still cry
And I might still bleed
These thorns in my side
This heart on my sleeve
And lightening may strike
This ground at my feet
And I might still crash
But I still believe

This is the moment I stand here all alone
With everything I have inside, everything I own
I might be afraid
But it's my turn to be brave
If this is the last time before we say goodbye
At least it's the first day of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid
Cause it's my turn to be brave

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Minuet

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Minuet

If we move in together
Will I still be a slob?
Will things get ordinary?
Will I piss you off?
'Cause I don't cook
I throw my clothes on the floor
And I mix the darks and whites

Oh baby, your kisses are pure
And the sex lasts for hours
You want me more the less I shower
I'm a sight for sore eyes
In your old tighty-whities
But you love me anyway
You love me anyway

I thank God for seeing the light
And not going out with some lawyer-type
'Cause you're a poet
A Renaissance man
A little boy with really strong hands

[Chorus:]
So many things going through my mind
Sometimes it gets scary
But when you're by my side
The world may be chaotic
And the skies may explode
But we'll be okay, baby,
This much I know
And the minuet between the heart and the breath
Is my lullaby
And the minuet between the heart and the breath
Is gonna rock me every time
And the minuet between the heart and the breath
Will save my life

As I lay upon your chest, baby I'm satisfied
I'd like to have babies with you
Like to have maybe two
Join a carpool and sing the kids to bed
They can have your colouring and
My movie rental addiction
They can be antisocial just like us and
They can choose their very own religion
They can climb into bed in the
Middle of the night and
Sleep in your arms, as if hypnotized

[Chorus]

Alright,
Everything's gonna be alright
So if all the things we want
Are just out of reach
We move to the mid-West
And you start to teach
I'm a woulda, coulda, shoulda
A one hit wonder
I'm pretty sure we'll be okay
'Cause if the skin on your chest
Still feels that way
From the sandalwood oil
That you dab in the middle
I think just maybe, maybe baby...
We'd miss it, a little.

Lyrics Idina Menzel - No Good Deed

Lyrics Idina Menzel - No Good Deed

Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die
Let him never die

Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka, eleka

What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know which trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?

No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

Nessa
Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero!

One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why

No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did
All right, enough, so be it
So be it, then
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Planet Z

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Planet Z

Sitting in my easy chair
I got no friends but I really don't care
I don't remember birthdays
I don't remember names
People talk to me
I know not what they say
Well my political policy is laissez-faire
You keep off my thoroughfare
My weeds grow like roses
My gardens like greed
My temples are discotheques for refugees

[Chorus:]
It's all about me
On my very own Planet Z
Where I'm lonely, but I'm free
Nothing gets in my way
I think I'm gonna have to stay right here
[Repeat]

Well my pizza delivery guys, they all wear suits
And all my musicians, they play in the nude
The lawyers wear nipple rings
They kiss my ass
And the french horn players are
In the most demand

[Chorus]

Planet Z
You can't predict the weather
But it's fine with me
Can't you see
I don't like when you bother me
Planet Z
The stars are brighter in my galaxy
Thirteen moons revolve around, around, around...

[Chorus]

Well these lovely little snowflakes are everywhere
They're the spitballs that you blow in my hair
Well I won't remember your birthday
I won't remember your name
Just keep talking to me
I'm not listening

[Chorus]

Lyrics Idina Menzel - No Day But Today

Lyrics Idina Menzel - No Day But Today

There's only us, there's only this
Forget regret, or life is your's to miss
No other path, no other way
No day but today

There's only us, only tonight
We must let go to know what's right
No other road, No other way
No day but today

I can't control my destiny
I trust my soul, my only goal
Is just to be

There's only now, there's only here
Give in to love or live in fear
No other path, No other way
No day but today

There's only us, There's only this
Forget regret, or life is your's to miss
No other road, no other way
No day but today

No day but today
(No day but today)
No day but today
(No day but today)
No day but today
(No day but today)
No day but today

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Here

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Here

Woo
Sweet revelation got me
Levitating over ground
Life know it's vibration
No I'm never coming down
Oh you're my own superhero
Keeps watching over me
I like it when you sing
My green eyes saw your constellation
To some light house in the sea
If your car stalls in the middle of the road in snow, I know
I know you'll be here
Lights out, in all of the city, black out no doubt
I know you'll be here
River flows through the streets, and my homes afloat
I know you'll be here
Stranded in the middle of China, they'll find ya
I know you'll be here
I'll be
Waiting by the window
With a view of the parking light
No matter
how long it takes ya
Never fails to come through every night
If your car stalls in the middle of the road in snow, I know
I know you'll be here
Lights out, in all of the city, black out no doubt
I know you'll be here
River flows through the streets, and my homes afloat
I know you'll be here
Stranded in the middle of China, they'll find ya
I know you'll be here
Here
At the speed of lightning
Here
With the stars aligning
Here
Oh, Here

Lyrics Idina Menzel - I Feel Everything

Lyrics Idina Menzel - I Feel Everything

Like a prima ballerina
I tip toe, tip toe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Make my way up a spiral staircase
Hope to God you had a good day

[Chorus]
When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything

On a tightrope
On a wire
I'll attempt to jump through a ring of fire
I am waiting all the while
For a glimpse of something to bring us higher
One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder

[Chorus]

Oh

There's a fine line between love and hurting
And knowing just when to walk away

Like a prima ballerina
I will tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly

[Chorus]

When you can't be touched
When you can't be loved
When you fall apart
When you have no heart
I feel everything

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Heaven Help My Heart

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Heaven Help My Heart

If it were love
I would give that love
Every second I had
And I do

Did I know where he'd lead me to
Did I plan
Doing all of this
For the love of a man

Well I let it happen anyhow
And what I'm feeling now
Has no easy explanation
Reason plays no part

Heaven help my heart

I love him too much is
What if he das my whole existence
Turning around a word a smile

One of these days
And it won't be long
He'll know more about me
Than he should
All my dreams will be understood

No surprise
Nothing more to learn
From the look in my eyes
Don't you know that time is not my friend
I'll fight it to the end
Hoping to keep that best of moments
When the passions start

Heaven help my heart

The day that I find
Suddenly I've run out of secrets
Suddenly I'm not always on his mind

Maybe it's best to love a stranger
Well...
That's what I've done
Heaven help my heart

Heaven help my heart

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Reach

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Reach

Slowly, softly
Please serenade me I'm here
Restless reviving river of life
You are here

Tell me you love me
Tell me you see me
Show me your laughter
Feed me

Tell me you love me
I'm the one you need
Raise your hand and
Reach for me, reach for me

Silent, slumber, sweetheart
Your thunder is my thorn
Bathing beauty ballad of bliss
You were born

Tell me you love me
Tell me you see me
Show me your laughter
Oh, won't you feed me

Tell me you love me
I'm the one you need
Raise your hand and
Reach for me
Oh, baby won't you reach for me

Pretty precious prism in darkness
You make me proud
Fragile fumbling finally
A new day we have found

Tell me you love me
Tell me you see me
Show me your laughter
Oh, won't you feed me

Tell me you love me
I'm the one you need
Oh, baby won't you raise your hand
Won't you raise your hand and
Reach for me, yeah
Reach for me, yeah

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Straw Into Gold

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Straw Into Gold

I wonder if you sleep right now
Do you realize I'm clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go, I have nowhere

If I leave, you'll call me quitter
If I stay, you'll punish me with silence and somehow
You'll fall asleep... You'll fall asleep

[Chorus:]
Well do you know that I won't sleep,
No I won't sleep all night long
As your silhouette turns its back on my spoon
I'm mesmerized by the ricochet moon
Leaping this leprechaun's (Rumplestiltskin's) wall

I'm so disenchanting
Intoxicated by my own tear's soul
And come tomorrow
When my beauty is old
Like a speckled princess
I'll try to cash in clovers for gold
So I'll light a candle and begin to
Write, turn to my work as refuge

Though my womb is a rush hour taxi
Ride, but I will try
To metamorphose pain along my plight
But I'll despise each word I write
So I am clinging to the
Edge, like some soap-opera star
With her ten second fade
As the light cascades
Do you love me anymore?

[Chorus]

I'll try to spin straw into gold
Straw into gold... Straw into gold... Straw into gold
Spinning for mercy
Spinning for hope
Spinning for love
Spinning for gold

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Damsel In Distress

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Damsel In Distress

Ooh, you got big muscles rippling
Underneath your shirt
I'm so glad to meet you, baby
Tell me, what do you do for work?

Me? I'm just a housewife
So sad and all alone
Desperate for a strong man
To help me fix my home

I know I must look a sight
In this, this flimsy little dress
Won't you try your very best
To save a damsel in distress?

I've got tasty treats to tempt you
Come and sit down on my couch
I'm sure it won't take long
To figure all my problems out

My home, it needs attention
It's such a big old mess
Take out your trusty tool
And save this damsel in distress

Now, you need no invitation, baby
Just walk in and shut the door
Follow the red rose petals
That I've left scattered on the floor

I'll be upstairs waiting
With a list of honey-do's
Customized and tailor-made
For a, a handy man like you

You know I'd be so grateful
If you'd come relieve my stress
Won't you heed my SOS
And save a damsel in distress?
Oh yeah, oh yeah

So sweet
I got the need if you're willing to please
Trust me
I make it so good that you won't wanna leave

I got tasty treats to tempt you
Come and sit down on my couch
I'm sure it won't take long
To figure all my problems out

My home, it needs attention
It's such a big old mess
Take out your trusty tool
And save this damsel in distress

Now what's a girl to do?
I'm just a, a damsel in, in distress, yeah
Oh, little old me, baby
What you want for dinner, baby?
Oh, yeah

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Asleep On The Wind

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Asleep On The Wind

Love is a glass of wine
It's balanced on the side-rail of a ship
Across the sea as midnight comes, it may not last till daylight comes
And the trip is long
And the waves are strong
But then again, it might be up there forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the wind
And if I'm touched by someone's careless hand
Asleep on the wind
Our lives might last until the journey's end
Alive
Alive

Our lives are just bubbles of time
They're rainbow-colored and shining in the sun
They drift above the treetops now
In danger that the breeze drops somehow
And darling, that's all it would take
Yet we threaten not to break
Then again we could be up here forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the wind
And I'm untouched by someone's careless hand
Asleep on the wind
Our lives might last until the love begins

So stay alive and let me try as hard as you do
To stay alive, please let me be as much alive as you
Alive
Alive
Alive

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Fool Out Of Me

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Fool Out Of Me

Hey,
Just when you think you are the shit
Well, you look down and your fly is unzipped
That's when you take a moment to say,
"Well, sometimes I'm so totally unhip."

Just when the great ones inspire you
To throw caution to the wind
That's when the mirror, mirror on the wall says,
"Babe, you better throw your towel in."

[Chorus:]
All that I don't know
Paralyzes me
But somehow I keep going on
Just settling for this mediocrity
And I wonder if God is trying to make a fool out of me
[Repeat]

There are legends who die
And I've never even heard their songs
And there are heroes of a generation
Whose poetry is not on my shelf
And my soliloquies would make Shakespeare
Turn over in his grave
And voyagers would forbid me
To join in their crusade

[Chorus]

I wish I could fight against Ali and win
I wish I could write with Joni Mitchell's pen
Sail the Atlantic on a paddle boat
I wish I could smile like Bobby de Niro
I wish that the lotto was the number of my telephone
I wish I could sing a duet with Bono
'Cause I don't want to sound like
Anyone else, you know

I just want to take you under my spell
Excuse me for saying
What I know down deep is my sin
But maybe I'll fool everybody into thinking
I know just what I am doing

[Chorus]

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Gorgeous

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Gorgeous

In a perfect world, in another time
In a far off place we wouldn't need to justify
Everything we are
And all that we believe
We could finally be
Whoever we both want to be
And when we can't be heard,
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close and
You will reach for me

[Chorus]
When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I

Through the window pane,
Through the bedroom door
This city wants to fight
But it can't touch us anymore
We have come so far,
We have shed our skin
The more that's taken from us now,
The more we have to give
And when we can't be heard,
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close and
You will reach for me

[Chorus]

And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to hear your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I

(We'll be gorgeous)
(We'll be gorgeous)
In the perfect time
(We'll be gorgeous)

And when we lose our faith
In all that's beautiful
You lift me to this place

[Chorus]

And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, we will be gorgeous
(you and I)

And when I lose my faith
I don't know what to do
You lift me to this place
And make me feel so beautiful
As long as you're right here by my side
We will be gorgeous, you and I

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Better To Have Loved

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Better To Have Loved

Better To Have Loved
Ooh
Better To Have Loved...
Ooh
If the sun went down tomorrow and it never came back
And the city went quiet and we fade to black
Well I won't have a single regret
And I wouldn't trade a thing
Cause I never knew I could feel what I feel inside of me

[Chorus]
Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have loved you and let you in than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fall into the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved
You

Better to have Loved:
I knew all the time I was taking a chance
When I stand there on the edge of the cliff and no one was holding my hand
Well the wind blew strong and the clouds rolled in and I, I felt us lift off
the ground
Yes I bared my soul and I dared to go knowing one day you might let me down

[Chorus]

I gave you everything but to have said goodbye

[Chorus]
Better to have loved than never loved at all
Better to have dreamed than never taken the fall
Better to have loved you and let you in than never to have touched your skin
Better to have hurt and screamed and cried
Fall into the earth for a trip to the sky
Better to have loved, better to have loved
You

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Think Too Much

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Think Too Much

Do you think about the moon?
Made you feel real special 'cause
It followed you everywhere
Do you think about the sun showers?
The way you like to run naked in them and
Shampoo your hair
Do you think about why we sneeze in the sun?
Wish my freckles would just leave us alone
Do you think about when you're older
Will they make a Sunday night movie
About your life?
You think you got tattoos
Your grandkids are gonna like?

[Chorus:]
Well is your cup half empty?
Is your cup half full?
Whatcha gonna be
When you grow up?
Are you a gym teacher,
Rock star, or superhero
In a major motion picture
Action feature, creature?
Over and over figure it out
Maybe today we'll find the message in the clouds
Maybe tomorrow we'll crush a
Nickel on a railroad track
Time is running out, I think I think too much

Do you think about the guy
That you first kissed?
Yeah his tongue went in circles
Practically missed your lips
Do you think he's now the world's greatest lover?
Or sitting at home
Watching CNN on TNT or TV?
Do you think about your past life?
Were you a countess, or
A vagabond or James Bond or
Yeah, but bisexual
Do you think I should care what you think?

[Chorus]

Do you think about all the books
You haven't read?
Are you a street smart cat
Or are you just an intellect?
Do you think about this now,
The girl who made you miserable
In junior high, made you cry?
Do you thinks she's smoking
Like five packs of cigarettes a day
And going to therapy...
Wait I wasn't finished

[Chorus]

Do you think it's normal
For white people to wear dreadlocks?
Are you a barefoot earthling
Or a hermit in socks
Guys in tuxedos are
Kind of deceiving
But you know, you see them in the park, jogging along
It's a little more revealing

Do you think about your funeral?
If you died how many people
Are gonna show up?
Do you think we're capable of change
Or we're just gonna, oh screw up our children?
Do you think about fires,
Who do you rescue first
Your kids or your sleeping husband?

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Heart On My Sleeve

Lyrics Idina Menzel - Heart On My Sleeve

She will never be invincible
She will never be some Florence Nightingale
Her threshold's invisible
But she'll hang on like hell

[Chorus:]
She may be transparent
She's got no defenses to speak of
But she'll stand here before you
With no pride or prejudice
Just steadfast and certain
That she'll land on her own two feet
And you'll think you can break her
'Cause you think that she's crazy and weak
But her power will defy you when
She wears her heart on her sleeve

She will never learn your tranquility
She will never learn how to let things slide
Her joy overwhelms her and
Her sorrow won't subside

[Chorus]

Oh you may condemn me with
Your bitter words and untouchable rage
And you may torment me 'cause I don't
Lead my life in your way
But I will stand here before you
With no pride or prejudice
Just steadfast and certain
That I will land on my own two feet
You'll think you can break me
Bring my head down to my knees
But my power will defy you when
I wear my heart on my sleeve

Lyrics Idina Menzel - All Of The Above

Lyrics Idina Menzel - All Of The Above

I am your sexy girl
I am your baby girl
I am your innocence
I am your mother
I'm Lady Chatterly
Or Lady Chastity
Or some anonymous lover

I can be your little virgin (At the Commack Motor Inn)
Or your dominatrix (In your parent's bed)
We'll play some spin the bottle
We'll play some Marvin Gaye
Or we can dress you up in women's clothing

[Chorus:]
Let's go shopping at the Pink Pussycat
You talk to the salesman
I'll hide in the back
I may be bashful but
I got the cash 'cause
I ain't afraid to try new things like that
Whatever you're thinking
Whatever you're feeling
I'll be either one or
All of the above
Whatever you're thinking
Whatever you're feeling
I'll be either one or
All of the above

I'm a widow in mourning (Lonely for your love)
I'm the bride on her wedding day (And you are not the groom)
I'm a singing telegram at 2AM
Or the french maid who comes to clean your room

[Chorus]

I'll keep you guessing, babe
You won't need confession, no
I'll be either one or
All of the above
Well I couldn't imagine
If I couldn't be myself
'Cause if you're afraid to ask for what you want
Then you might rebel
But if you've got that combination, where
You can play some 'show and tell'
Well don't be shameful
I am your rainbow
Liberate your body and
Soothe your soul

I can be your baby-sitter (Who let you stay up late)
Or your best friend's mother (Really hot date)
Or your favorite cousin (She taught you how to french kiss)
Or Miss Finnegan from health class
I'm a school girl in knee socks (With pig-tails in her hair)
I'm Aphrodite for dinner (Or Linda Carter)
I'm rose petals
I'm ruby wine
And if you want
I'll be the president's wife

[Chorus]
