1."what good is time when you're sure of tomorrow...."
2."when there's so much love in my heart, tell me why we had to part..."
3."time won't wait...maybe tomorrow it may be too late...."
4."when 2 men go out to face each other...only one returns...."
5."you gotta show him that you care, just for him...."
6."no words of consolation...will make me miss you less....."
7."and as it is today...thats how i'll always stay...."
8."put your glasses on, on the top of your head....."
9."maybe now they'll give kids a helping hand...."
10."this magic love of ours will burn bright, day and night..."
just fooling around, but see if you can identify them right off!
if you can identify 7 or more , you are definitely hooked on B&D!

Nice distraction - the ones I know are mostly in a cluster.
2."when there's so much love in my heart, tell me why we had to part..."

Hey Blue!
You are correct! Bravo!
I think number 2 and 10 are giving folks some problems..no. 10 is not very well known, but was my ex gf's favorite song....
Steveo
ok, here are a couple of extra lines to 2 and 10
2."but time waits for no one....when there's so much love in my heart...
tell me why we had to part..."
10. "it is written in the stars...this enchanted love of ours...will burn bright...day and night...(french horn solo now, ala buddy baker -disney- "doo doo doo doooooooo)"

Bingo!
2. Long Day, Short Night
10. Forever, My Love
The funny thing is that I knew these two right off the bat...I couldn't for the life of me get #1 and #7, although #7 was right on the tip of my tongue. (#1 I would never have gotten as I don't care for most of the 'Lost Horizon' score, so I rarely listen to any of the tracks.) It's interesting which songs resonate with each of us individually.
