Melancholy Mood Composer(s): Vic Knight; Walter Schumann Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists
Melancholy mood forever haunts me Steals upon me in the night Forever taunts me Oh, what a lonely soul am I Stranded high and dry By a melancholy mood
Gone is every joy and inspiration Tears are all I have to show No consolation All I can see is grief and gloom Till the crack of doom Oh, melancholy mood
Deep in the night I search for a trace Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace But love is a whimsy And as flimsy as lace And my arms embrace an empty space
Melancholy mood, why must you blind me Pity me and break the chains The chains that bind me Won't you release me, set me free Bring him back to me Oh, melancholy mood
Deep in the night I search for a trace Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace But love is a whimsy As flimsy as lace And my arms embrace an empty space
Melancholy mood, why must you blind me Pity me and break the chains The chains that bind me Won't you release me, set me free Bring him back to me Oh, melancholy mood
Dream, dream away Magic in the air, was magic in the air? I believe, yes I believe More I cannot say, what more can I say?
On a river of sound Thru the mirror go round, round I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel) Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold The spirit dance was unfolding
(There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays
Composer(s): Al Stillman; Robert Allen
Performer(s): Perry Como
Oh, theres no place like
home for the holidays
Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you cant beat
Home, sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin down
To Dixies sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific
Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want
To be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you cant beat
Home, sweet home
Noche de sortilegio y superstición Una gitana habla de traición Al ver la línea de su corazón ¡Ay, las cosas del querer! ¡ay, su orgullo de mujer! Celos, llenos de amor Sombras de confusión Uno más uno, tres Le dijo la mujer Su honra pisada, su alma ultrajada El odio araña a Carmen de España Corre con la venganza dentro de la piel Y al ver su hombre con otra mujer Le arde la sangre hasta enloquecer ¡Ay, la vida en un puñal! ¡ay, fatídico final! Celos llenos de amor Sombras de confusión Uno más uno, tres Le dijo la mujer Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte Uno más uno, tres Le dijo la mujer Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno Dos cuerpos brillan y al fondo Sevilla Uno más uno, tres Celos de una mujer Uno más uno tres Celos de una mujer ¡Ay, amor! lo haría, sin dudar por tu amor ¡ay, amor! no pude soportar tu traición Uno más uno, tres Le dijo la mujer Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte Uno más uno, tres Le dijo la mujer Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno Dos cuerpos que brillan y al fondo Sevilla ... Celos de amor, celos Uno más uno, tres celos de una mujer uno más uno, tres celos de una mujer Uno más uno tres
Once Upon A Time Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Every morning you wake up alone And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours
'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there
Drive into town 'most every night On the chance that there might be someone Waiting for you You tell yourself you'll Give it your best Maybe settle for less But you never do
'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there
Every morning you wake up alone And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours
'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there
2000 Miles
Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde
First release by: The Pretenders - 1983
He's gone 2000 miles is very far The snow is falling down It's colder day by day I miss you The children will sing "He'll be back at Christmas time"
In me it's frozen in silent nights Sometimes in a dream You appear Outside under the purple sky Diamonds in the snow Sparkle Our hearts were singing It felt like Christmas time
2000 miles is very far through the snow I'll think of you Wherever you go
He's gone 2000 miles is very far The snow's falling down It's colder day by day
I miss you I can hear people singing It must be Christmas time I hear people singing It must be Christmas time

Melancholy Man Composer(s): Mike Pinder Performer(s): The Moody Blues
I´m a melancholy man That´s what I am All the world surrounds me And my feet are on the ground I´m a very lonely man Doing what I can All the world astounds me And I think I understand That we´re going To keep growing Wait and see
When all the stars are falling down Into the sea and on the ground And angry voices carry on the wind A beam of light will fill your head And you´ll remember what´s been said By all the good men this world´s ever known Another man is what you´ll see Who looks like you and looks like me And yet somehow he will not feel the same His life caught up in misery He doesn´t think like you and me ´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see
When all the stars are falling down Into the sea and on the ground And angry voices carry on the wind A beam of light will fill your head And you´ll remember what´s been said By all the good men this world´s ever known Another man is what you´ll see Who looks like you and looks like me And yet somehow he will not feel the same His life caught up in misery He doesn´t think like you and me (A melancholy man) ´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see (A very lonely man) (Repeat both verses together)
Once Upon A Summer Afternoon Composer(s): Levitt; Snyder Performer(s): John Gary
There were blue butterflies golden daffodils And a pale August sky filled with whippoorwills When we fell in love once upon a summer afternoon I remember a kiss and an apple tree And the sound of her laughter still follows me We were so in love once upon a summer afternoon But the end of the dream always makes me cry I can still hear the word goodbye Only blue butterflies, golden daffodils, apple trees And my heart knows I love her still Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon

Mel Da Ilha Composer(s): Ronaldo Bastos Performer(s): Cláudio Nucci & Renato Ze
Foi só morder a maçã para sonhar Sonhar que ia também, meu bem quero ir Quando for pra ilha Irmão me leva, irmã me leva Foi só pensar em você, já estava lá Pra lá de um céu todo azul Na beira do mar Lá estava a ilha A cor morena, o mel da ilha Moendo a cana, movendo a ilha
Não esqueça de dizer adeus sorrindo Recados vão na brisa do mar Nobreza seja o mel da nossa lha O sonho pode ser seu, qualquer lugar (Bis)
Riqueza de viver e ter amigos Não esqueça não esquecer de me levar Foi só pensar em você para sonhar
Once Or Twice Composer(s): Terry Kath Performer(s): Chicago
Oh girl I looked you over once or twice I think that you are very nice And you're just meant for me
Oh girl I think you got a messed up mind But if you will take the time Baby I can set you free
Well I'm not trying to be What I am not But I think what you need Is what I got
Girl I'm no philosopher But I can offer you that cure To mend your broken heart I know that you are not blind I know you see my messed up mind I bet you see my broken heart too
So won't you Bring your heart and your mind That's out on the run Fuse them with my broken heart In my mind We'll be one
Girl I looked you over once or twice I think that you are very nice And you're just meant for me
Girl I think you got a messed up mind Now that you know yours is just like mine Baby, won't you set me free
