One More Chance Composer(s): Madonna; David Foster Performer(s): Madonna
I turned around too late to see the fallen star I fell asleep and never saw the sun go down I took your love for granted Thought luck was always on my side I turned around too late and you were gone Chorus: So give me one more chance Darlin' if you care for me Let me win your love 'Cause you were always there for me If you care for me Be there for me I like to play the queen of hearts and never thought I'd lose I rolled the dice but never showed my hand I planned it out so perfectly So you'd never leave a girl like me I was a fool, but now I understand (chorus) Here is the law of the land You play with fire and you'll get burned Here is the lesson I've learned That you don't know what you've got til it's gone (chorus, without last two lines) Gimme one more chance Tell me that it's not too late Let me win your love Darlin' please don't hesitate If you care for me Be there for me Give me one more chance

One More Arrow Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
He said I want to grow up And look like Robert Mitchum And I hope that when I'm gone There'll be some say that I miss him He must have been romantic He must have sensed adventure And I feel the steel of his strong will In the frame around his picture
And he's one more arrow flying through the air One more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere Where the days and nights blend into one And he can always feel the sun Through the soft brown earth that holds him Forever always young
He could have been a boxer But the fight game seemed so dirty We argued once he knocked me down And he cried when he thought he'd hurt me Strictly from the old school He was quiet about his pain And if one in ten could be that brave I would never hate again
One more arrow One more arrow One more arrow Forever always young
Pour Monsieur le savant, savant qui a le prix Nobel pour les autres qui dans cent ans nous rendront éternels pour l'avion qui dans le brouillard retrouve son terrain pour la joie de dire le soir "à demain!" 'merci bien, merci bien merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup oh oui'
Pour ceux qui très tôt le matin s'en vont de leur banlieue et pour toi qui plantes un sapin bien que tu sois très vieux pour le noir qui chante à Saint-Louis pour le rouge à Moscou pour le riz du petit Hindou qui a faim 'merci bien, merci bien, merci bien, merci bien merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup oh oui'
Pour Chaplin et pour Picasso pour Molière et Shakespeare pour les intelligents, les sots les meilleurs et les pires pour le diable et pour le bon Dieu qui s'entendent si bien pour tes dents et pour tes cheveux et pour rien 'merci bien, merci bien, merci bien, merci bien merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup oh oui'
Pour les secondes et pour les heures que nous jette le temps pour l'enfant qui rit ou qui pleure mais qui est bon enfant pour la fille qui va donner son premier cri d'amour pour le fils qui prend le chemin qui retourne 'merci bien, merci bien, merci bien, merci bien merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup merci beaucoup'
One Moment In Time Composer(s): John Bettis; Albert Hammond Performer(s): Whitney Houston; and various other artists
Each day I live I want to be A day to give The best of me I'm only one But not alone My finest day Is yet unknown
I broke my heart Fought every gain To taste the sweet I face the pain I rise and fall Yet through it all This much remains
I want one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will feel I will feel eternity
I've lived to be The very best I want it all No time for less I've laid the plans Now lay the chance Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will feel I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime If you seize that one moment in time Make it shine
Give me one moment in time When I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will be I will be I will be free I will be I will be free
Merci Beaucoup Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Mack David Performer(s): Corinne Calvet
Merci beaucoup, thank you monsieur, thank you The cocktails you served were really supreme And my heart skipped a beat when you touched my hand As you served me the caviar and that delightful tea It was so nice
Merci beaucoup, thank you monsieur, thank you I'm afraid that the wine, it went to my head But I got such a thrill when you said
One Mile Apart Composer(s): Lisa Aschmann; Michael Johnson; Karen Taylor-Good Performer(s): Michael Johnson
My name is Mary Francis and I live in El Paso In a large house on Mt. Franklin, I have quite a view I can see the desert, pecan trees in the valley Those little shacks in Juarez, yes I can see them too
My name is Juan Contreras and from my home in Juarez I can see El Paso and the houses of the rich I leave my children sleeping to earn a few pesetas Selling red pistachios to the tourists on the bridge
Chorus: Which side of the river, did someone flip a coin It's sad enough to break a river's heart How can there be so much distance between us When our houses are one mile apart
My house is Spanish stucco, it has a blue Jacuzzi Four bedrooms and a fireplace, a swimming pool with heat My house is brown adobe, I don't have running water I don't have indoor plumbing, or pavement on my street
Mercenary Territory Composer(s): Lowell George; Richard Hayward Performer(s): Little Feat
Is it the lies Is it the style
It's a mercenary territory I wish you knew the story I've been out here so long dreaming up songs I'm temporarily qualmless and sinking
I've died my time in that rodeo It's been so long and I've got nothing to show Well I'm so plain loco Fool that I am I'd do it all over again
Is it the style Is it the lies Is it the days into nights Or the "I'm sorry"s into fights
Now some kind of man, he can't do anything wrong If I see him I'll tell him you're waiting 'Cause I'm devoted for sure but my days are a blur While your nights turn into my mornings Well I did my time in that rodeo Fool that I am I'd do it all over again
Is it love keeps you waiting so long Makes you say I'll see you around The forces that be, they just just don't see While your nights turn into my mornings
Is it the style Is it the lies The days into nights Or the "I'm sorry"s into fights
Mercedes Benz Composer(s): Janis Joplin; Mike McClure; Bob Neuwirth Originally performed by: Janis Joplin
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? My friends all have Porsches I must make amends Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV? Dialing for dollars is trying to find me I'll wait for delivery each day until 3 O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town I'm counting on you Lord, please don't let me down Prove that you love me and buy the next round Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town
One Man's Fool Composer(s): Tony Banks; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis
As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied
To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?
Now as the daylight fading ends another day For too many life will never be the same And it is all for the reason they will never understand
To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?
And on the morning after do you realise See the ruined faces and the ruined lives Inside your head do you never have the thought a moment of doubt?
To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?
There are only dreams one like any other What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another There are only dreams like any other
Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me
Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other There are only differences, worth living but not dying for
One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it One man's saint is another man's fool One man's hot is another man's cool
And when the war is over, won Will there be peace for evermore?
Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold Praying for their mercy that won't save their souls
Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another
There are only dreams like any other There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other (there are only dreams like any other) Worth living but not dying for Living but not dying for not killing for There are only dreams like any other like any other
To all of those who think that they know All I can say yes all I can say
One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it One man's saint is another man's fool One man's hot is another man's cool
There are only dreams like any other There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other There are only dreams like any other...
Mer Composer(s): Françoise Hardy; Tuca Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Mer Mon cur pèse des tonnes Et mon corps s'abondonne Si léger à la mer La mer pleure ses vagues Qui ont un goût de larmes Et s'en vont, éphémères Se perdre en la terre Se fondre à la terre Mer Magique, originelle Dans son rhythme essentiel Le ventre de la mer Vous garde pour vous jeter Dans un monde desséché Qui n'est fait que de terre Où je n'ai jamais Su ce qu'il faut faire Et la vague danse et joue Puis se brise Et la mer tout à coup Devient grise Mon amour est si lourd à porter Je voudrais doucement me coucher Dans la mer Magique, originelle Dans son rhythme essentiel Je voudrais que la mer Me reprenne pour renaître Ailleurs que dans ma tête Ailleurs que sur la terre Où sans mon amour Je ne peux rien faire

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right Let's get together and feel all right
Noche De Ronda
((English Version: Be Mine Tonight (by Tony Martin & Dinah Shore))
Composer(s): María Teresa Lara
Performer(s): Julio Iglesias
Noche de ronda qué triste pasas qué triste cruzas por mi balcón
Noche de ronda cómo lastimas cómo me hieres el corazón
Luna que se quiebra sobre las tinieblas de mi soledad... ¿Adónde vas? Dime si esta noche tú te vas de ronda como ella se fue... ¿Con quién está? Dile que la quiero, dile que me muero de tanto esperar que vuelva ya que las rondas no son buenas que hacen daño, que dan pena y se acaba por llorar
...¿Adónde vas? ...¿Con quién está? ...Dile que la quiero, dile que me muero de tanto esperar que vuelva ya que las rondas no son buenas que hacen daño, que dan pena y se acaba por llorar
