Love is the Icon

(All Song Titles by Barry White)

Another place, another time….it’s Valentines Day, and two individuals, a star crossed couple, find themselves in the quiet lounge of a luxury ship, on a transatlantic crossing from New York to Southampton…a lone performer sings in the night, pouring his heart out to yearning lovers …truth is always stranger than fiction, and when it has seemed that all is lost, Love always finds a way…

(Performs) Love Theme

In the quiet of the lounge, a man sitting in the shadows suddenly sees a ray of light.

(Startled, upon his discovery) Look at Her

(equally stunned, seeing and feeling the sapphire gaze) Of All the Guys in the World

(coming towards her) Hard to Believe That I Found You

The man tries to embrace the trembling woman.

(off putting) Don't Kiss Me Hello

(hurt at the rejection) (I’ve Been) Lost Without the Love of My Life

(scathing) Whatever We Had, We Had

(pleading) Don't Take It Away from Me

(rebuking) Don't Tell Me About Heartaches

(honestly) I'm So Blue and You Are Too

A quiet moment passes. Something seems to have changed in the charged glance between the two. As if by understanding, they know that whatever had once forcibly separated them no longer exists…and what’s more, what once they shared has not lessened with the passage of time…

(softly) How Did You Know It Was Me?

(coy) Don't You Want to Know

(not in the mood) Don't Play Games

(I’ve Been) Standing in the Shadows of Love

(quietly, realizing) This Thing Called Love….It's Getting Harder All the Time

(encouraging, taking her hand) (Come) Out of the Shadows of Love

(tears well in her eyes) I Don't Know Where Love Has Gone

(tenderly) If You Know, Won't You Tell Me

(tears roll down her cheek) Where Can I Turn To

(curious, almost panicked) Who are You Giving Your Love To

(getting her hackles up) Who's the Fool

(calming, declaration) Any Fool Could See (You Were Meant for Me)

(teary again) I Can't Believe You Love Me

(truthfully) Girl It's True, Yes I'll Always Love You

(still resisting) I Don't Need It

(pleading) Don't Take Your Love from Me

The woman can hardly resist the internal storm that has unleashed in her. Finally, she succumbs to what her heart is screaming to her.

(admitting) You're So Good You're Bad

(declares) A Man Ain't Nothin'…You Turned My Whole World Around…You See the Trouble With Me

(shakes her head) Come On

(reminiscing) Don't Forget...Remember (our) Early Years

(wistfully) Life…Dreams…This Love

(holding her closer) We Can't Let Go of Love

(wishful) Bring Back My Yesterday

Baby, We Better Try to Get It Together

(hesitant) Love Ain't Easy…All Because of You

(impassioned) (this time I’m) Never, Never Gonna Give You Up

(in wonder, seeing the emotion from him) There It Is…Passion…Your Heart and Soul

I Feel Love Coming On

(murmurs) Love Will Find Us

Before they realize it, they kiss with the sum of years of burning ache and passion.

Ooh Ahh

(coming up for breath) Never Thought I'd Fall in Love With You

You're the Only One for Me

(emotionally) You're the First, the Last, My Everything

(suggestively) Let's Make Tonight (An Evening to Remember)

The man leads the woman out to the dance floor, while our performer looks on, delighted

Let the Music Play

(performs) Love Rhapsody

Oh What a Night for Dancing…It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It's Spring)

(drawing her closer) It's Only Love Doing Its Thing…Don’t make me wait too long

(resting her head on his chest) I Belong to You

(whispers in her ear) I've Got So Much to Give

(looks deeply into his eyes) I Only Want to Be With You

(huskily) I Want You

Ooh Ahh

(Performs) Love's Theme

Emotions carry them to a secret place, an intimate space… a luxurious suite…Seconds fall into minutes, minutes melt into hours, hours turn into exquisite moments…

Ooh Ahh

Oh Love, Well We Finally Made It

It's All About Love

Love Is in Your Eyes

I Owe It All to You

Tell Me Who Do You Love

You

Your Sweetness Is My Weakness

Turnin' on, Tunin' in (To Your Love)

I Love You More Than Anything (In This World Girl)

(shyly, already knowing what the answer is) What Am I Gonna Do With You?

(frankly) I Wanna Lay Down With You Baby
