David Frankel - Chaplin’s Tunes

[Music] However, still we all close our eyes and sleep. No matter how complex, how deep, we all close our eyes and see [Applause] [Music] However, we dance, however, we dance, however we be romance. We all close our eyes. The humble and the great from every different state. No one knows what them awaits. We all must close our eyes and see. However, still we all close our eyes and sleep. No matter how complex, how deep, we all close our eyes and see. [Music] If I could go back to my youth land when times were simpler, when times were sweeter. If I could return to those days and repeat my prayer and say it clearer. [Music] Hazy mist clouding the skies [Music] ray by rain filling up my heart with lies [Music] day by day. If I could go back to my youth when times were simpler, when times were sweeter. [Music] Hazy miss clouding disguise. eyes rain by ray [Music] filling up my heart with lies day by day. If I could go back to my youth land when times were simpler, when times were sweeter, [Music] go get your degree. and get a job steady. Go get married full and send your kids to school like everybody. Why not do your best? Build yourself a nest. If only you were this and if only you were that, you would live a life of peace and rest. Oh, don't you see? I tried to be like everyone. I did it well. And suddenly my joy was gone. Another doctor to the ocean. Before I knew my life felt to be done. And worst of all, I lost the very charm I had. The very charm that made everyone not so glad. I found myself and all around me. I was so sad. And yet I know there's something I can. So I know that I must be unlike everybody. Instead I seek to find every moment I'm alive and that will be the greatest gift for me. La. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Two twinkling flames flaming intently. Eyes that whisper words, praying gently. It's the gaze of a lover. Oh yes, I know it. The gaze of a lover on his belove. With his eyes he kisses just like a painter. Trembling he stares and grows ever fainter. And the tears are flowing. They know where they're going. Forming a path to the heart. And the tears are flowing. They know where they're going. Forming a path to the heart. [Music] All is while I walk about flaunting my world. I am glad to be alive. Nothing bad about it. I am me. You are you. There's no need to doubt it. How great, how cool birds are ching. I am nothing could be better. Winds are blowing. All is blowing. Delightful weather. Nothing to distress all together. Oh, how great to be. Oh, how cool to be. [Music] Yet behind in my mind I can hear very near. How I long to be strong and belong to the sun. [Music] Oh, I can hear it. I wish to hide. Oh, can bear it. That calling inside. Now I hear the world speaking to me. I hear the question, who shall I be? I see a step inside. I see a tender light, a chance for me to do it right. I see a step inside. I see a tender light. A chance for me to go right. Day after day I walk my way. I look at my life and I shockingly say my prayers and hopes have come to me. All my investments return to me. I never believe. I never consume. Through the life of my dreams, my tears are true. My prayers have come to me. All my words returning to me. I never believe. I never could see the life of my dreams. My tears never change. [Music] Day after day I walk my way. Even in darkness I still softly say. Day after day I walk my way. Even in darkness I say my prayers and hopes will come to me. All my blessings return to me. I may not believe. I may not see the life of my dreams. My tears will my heart will come to me. All my friends returning to me. I may not believe. I may not conceive the life of my dreams. My tears were amazing. [Music]
