Go All the Way (1972)

 * Go All the Way 1974 performance · 2007 performance

Till she kissed me and said "Baby, please, go all the way It feels so right (feels so right) Being with you here tonight" "Please, go all the way Just hold me close (hold me close) Don't ever let me go (don't let me go)"
 * I never, never knew how complete love could be

All by Myself (1975)

 * Lyrics by Carmen, with music adapted from Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 · Video performance by Carmen · Performance by Celine Dion

I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone.
 * When I was young

Don't want to be all by myself anymore.
 * All by myself

Sometimes I feel so insecure And love so distant and obscure Remains the cure.
 * Hard to be sure
