Passion

(Text in italics indicate phrases recorded backward.)

I need more affection than you know
 
Omoidaseba haruka haruka When I think back, far, far back
Mirai wa The future
I need more affection than you know
Doko made mo kagayaiteta Shone on forever
Kirei na aozora no shita de Under a beautiful blue sky
Bokura wa We were
I need more affection than you know
Sukoshi dake obieteita Just a little afraid
 
Natsukashii iro ni mado ga somaru The window is tinted a nostalgic color
 
Mae o muitereba mata aemasu ka When I face forward, will we meet again?
Mirai wa The future
I need more affection than you know
Doko e de mo tsuzuiteru n da Goes on forever
Ooki na kanban no shita de Below a big billboard
Jidai no I'd like to look upon
I need more affection than you know
Utsuroi o miteitai na The vagaries of time
 
Nido to aenu hito ni, basho ni I open up a window
Mado o akeru To people and places I can never meet again
 
Omoidaseba haruka haruka When I think back, far, far back
Mirai wa The future
I need more affection than you know
Doko made mo kagayaiteta Shone on forever
Kirei na aozora no shita de Under a beautiful blue sky
Bokura wa We were
I need more affection than you know
Itsu made mo nemutteita Always sleeping
 
Zutto mae ni suki datta hito The one I loved so long ago
Fuyu ni kodomo ga umareru sou da Will be having a baby this winter
Mukashi kara no kimarigoto o Sometimes I want to doubt
Tama ni utagaitaku naru yo The way we've done things for ages now
Zutto wasurerarenakatta no I was never able to forget them
Nengajo wa shashinzuki ka na Wonder if their New Year's card'll have a photo?
Watashitachi ni dekinakatta koto mo Even the things we couldn't do
Totemo natsukashiku omou yo I think of them so fondly
 
My fears, my lies
Aozora no shita de Under a blue sky
I need more affection than you know

Sanctuary

(Text in italics indicate phrases recorded backward.)

I need more affection than you know
 
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
I need more affection than you know
A sanctuary
My sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music inside
I need more affection than you know
What's left of me
What's left of me now
 
I watch you, fast asleep
All I fear means nothing
 
(repeat)
 
So many ups and downs
My heart's a battleground
I need two emotions
I need more affection than you know
I need two emotions
 
You show me how to see
That nothing is whole and
Nothing is broken
 
(repeat)
 
My fears, my lies
Melt away
I need more affection than you know

Swim This Way

Swim this way
We'll dance and we'll play, now
It's very easy, come on in
Just take a chance and shake a fin
 
Don't be shy
Let the music inside
And dance, dance, dance!
 
(repeat)
 
See the sign?
Can you you reach it in time
And tap, tap, tap?
 
(repeat)
 
It's all the same
If you've got steady aim
Just zap, zap, zap!
 
(repeat)
 
Just a touch
'Cause it won't take too much
To pop, pop, pop!
 
(repeat)
 
Count him in
So he'll know to begin
To drum! Drum! Drum!
 
(repeat)
 
Don't dilly-dally
It's your big finale
Sha-la-la!
 
(repeat)
 
Swim along
Just join in the song
A musical for everyone
To have a lot of finny fun

Ursula's Revenge

This witch is back to bring her wrath upon the sea
Triton can't be rid of me
Not that easily
And like all who dare defy me
He will learn his lesson well
Never toy with a girl like me

Flotsam! Jetsam!
Loyal darlings, strong as the tide
Sweetest poopsies, hasten to my side
Right now! Mommy needs you
Crush those stupid fools, make them writhe!

What a feeble human
No, I can't believe my eyes
Such a stubborn royal
Who is fighting for his prize
Without your precious mermaid
Now you're crazy with revenge
I suppose I sympathize

Flotsam! Jetsam!
Loyal darlings, strong as the tide
Sweetest poopsies, hasten to my side
Right now! Mommy needs you
Smash those stupid fools, make them writhe!

This is not the end, my dears
I swear, I've just begun
It's not over until Ursula has won!

A New Day Is Dawning

Mermaids: Welcome the dawning of a happy age of new beginnings
Land and sea have come together
Joined in peace and harmony
Fairytales and miracles
Are what we're singing of
Our dear princess Ariel
Truly fell in love
With a prince, a human prince
Who lived so far above
 
Ariel:Wishes really can come true
If you want them to
And this happiness inside
I owe to every one of you
 
Mermaids:How about an introduction
To these lovely friends of yours?
 
Ariel:Come take a bow
Donald, Goofy, and Sora
 
Donald:Congratulations, dear princess, to you
Goofy:You found your first love, and he found you too
Sora:We were glad to help you out
And very proud, it's true
All three:Seeing how we made you grin
Just makes us want to twirl a fin
 
Ariel:(repeat)
 
Mermaids:Be so kind and introduce
The King and these, his loyal friends
 
Ariel:Please say hello
Daddy, Sebastian, Flounder
 
Triton:Ariel, I'm so very happy for you
Sebastian:Yes, happy endings are so rare and so few
Flounder:We were glad to help
And very proud, it's true
All three:Seeing how we made you grin
Just makes us want to twirl a fin
 
Mermaids:Any other friends of yours
That might be waiting in the wings?
 
Ariel:Come say hello
All my friends from every corner of the world
 
All: Welcome the dawning of a happy age of new beginnings
Land and sea have come together
Joined in peace and harmony
Fairytales and miracles
Are what we're singing of
Our dear princess Ariel
Prince Eric from above
A happy end, forever after
Full of joy and love
