Che cos'é
Stasera il mio gattino
Ti si struscia sul cuscinho
Come me
Gli piace stare stretto a te

E perché
Questa bianca luna
Acompagnha la tua mano
Su di me le piace stare
Stretta a te

Il giorno che sei nato
Tutti gli angeli han giurato
Che l'immagine dell'anima eri tu
Con uno spruzzo d'oro nei capelli
E un pó di cielo nel tuoi occhi blú

E perché tanta gente intorno
Cerca a te notte e giorno
Come me le piace stare
Stretta a te

Il giorno che sei nato
Tutti gli angeli han giurato
Che l'immagine dell'anima eri tu
Con uno spruzzo d'oro nei capelli
E un pó di cielo nel tuoi occhi blú

E perché tanta gente intorno
Cerca a te notte e giorno
Come me le vá di stare
Stretta a te

Le va' di stare
Stretta a te ...

More Today Than Yesterday
Composer(s): Pat Upton
Originally performed by: Spiral Starecase
Covered by various other artists



I don't remember what day it was
I didn't notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Every day's a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lips my mind starts to wander
And if all my dreams come true
I'll be spending time with you

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow

Tomorrow's date means springtime's just a day away
Cupid, we don't need ya now, be on your way
I thank the lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too

Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow

That's right, that's right

Ah, what good's a metronome 
Without a [boatbell] ringing? 
How fast can anybody ever tell he swings? 
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar? 
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?

I walk along the city streets
you used to walk with me
and every step I take recalls
how much in love, we used to be 

Oh, how can I forget you 
when there is always something there to remind me 
always something there to remind me 

I was born to love you, 
and I will never be free 
you'll always be a part of me 

When shadows fall, I pass a small cafe 
where we would dance at night 
and I can't help recalling 
how it felt to kiss and hold you tight 

Oh, how can I forget you 
when there is always something there to remind me 
always something there to remind me 

I was born to love you, and I will never be free 
you'll always be a part of me 

If you should find you miss the sweet 
and tender love we used to share 
just go back to the places 
where we used to go and I'll be there 

Oh, how can I forget you 
when there is always something there to remind me 
always something there to remind me 

I was born to love you, and I will never be free 
when there is, when there is 
when there is always something there to remind me ...

More Than You Know

Originally performed by: Mayo Methot
Covered by various other artists



Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder of you

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
And give you the break you need

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know

Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so
More than you'll ever know

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But, honey, I can't live without it

Oh, how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired and said Goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'll ever know

More than you'll ever know

Je marche seul le long des rues
Où nous allions tous deux avant
A chaque pas je me souviens
Comme on s'aimait auparavant
Comment pouvoir t'oublier?

Il y a toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Je suis né pour t'aimer
Et je serai toujours ainsi
Tu restes la vie de ma vie

Quand l'ombre vient, mon pas m'entraîne
Où on allait danser le soir
Je me revois là t'embrassant
Et serrant fort tous mes espoirs
Comment pouvoir t'oublier?

Il y a toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Je suis né pour t'aimer
Et je serai toujours ainsi
Tu restes la vie de ma vie

Mais si ton cœur regrette un jour
Ce grand amour que l'on vivait
Reviens alors dans cet endroit
Où l'on allait, j'y serai
Comment pouvoir t'oublier?

Il y a toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Toujours un coin qui me rappelle
Je suis né pour t'aimer
Et je serai toujours ainsi
Tu restes la vie de ma vie

Je n'aimerai personne d'autre!
Je n't'oublierai pas pour une autre!
Tu restes la vie de ma vie!

More Than Words
Composer(s): Nuno Bettencourt; Gary Cherone
Originally performed by: Extreme
Covered by various other artists



Sayin "I love you" is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew
how easy it would be to show me how you feel
more than words is all you have to do to make it real
then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'cause I'd already know

What would you do
if my heart was torn in two?
more than words to show you feel
that your love for me is real
What would you say
if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
just by sayin' "I love you"

la di da da da di da da di da..etc...

Now that I have tried to talk to you and make you understand
all you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands
and touch me, hold me close don't ever let me go
more than words is all i ever needed you to show
then you wouldn't have to say
that you love me 'cause I'd already know

Io vado solo dove ieri
camminavo insieme a te
e vedo ancora tutto quello
che vedevo insieme a te
ed è così diverso
perchè io
guardavo il mondo con i tuoi occhi
e vivevo nelle tue braccia

siamo nati insieme
e senza te non vivo più
perchè io

guardo il mondo con i tuoi occhi
e la sera nella strada
dove manchi solo tu
ed ho paura della notte
e dei sogni che farò
sarà così diverso
e che io

guardavo il mondo con i tuoi occhi
e vivevo nelle tue braccia
siamo nati insieme
e senza te non vivo più
perchè io

guardavo il mondo con i tuoi occhi
ma da lontano sono sicuro che
anche tu mi pensi un pò
non tornerai
ma come tu mi manchi
io ti mancherò
e se non puoi confessa

che ieri guardavi il mondo con i miei occhi
e vivevi nelle mie braccia
siamo nati insieme
e senza me tu non vivrai
perchè tu guardavi il mondo con i miei occhi
ed io guardavo con i tuoi occhi
perchè tu guardavi il mondo con i miei occhi

More Than This
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
Originally performed by: Roxy Music
Covered by various other artists



I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this - there is nothing
More than this - tell me one thing
More than this - there is nothing

(That's Why They Call Me) Shine
Composer(s): Ford Dabney - Cecil Mack - Lew Brown
Performer(s): John William "Bubbles" Sublett



When I was born they christened me plain Samuel Johnson Brown
I hadn't grown so very tall, 'fore some folks in this town
Had changed it 'round to "Sambo" 
I was "Rastus" to a few
Then "Chocolate Drop" was added by some others that I knew
And then to cap the climax, I was strolling down the line
When someone shouted, "Fellas, hey! Come on and pipe the shine!"
But I don't care a bit 
Here's how I figure it

Well, just because my hair is curly
And just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Likes to dress up in the latest style
Just because I'm glad I'm livin'
Takes trouble smilin', never whine
Just because my color's shady
Slightly different maybe 
That's why they call me shine

More Than That Tommorow
Composer(s): Jim Croce; Ingrid Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



Hey love, don't be afraid to stay until tomorrow 
The lover's dawn is waiting just this side of day 
If you thought I loved you yesterday 
I'll love you more than that tomorrow 

Hey love, don't be afraid to hear the songs of morning 
Birds will sings them as they're calling up the day 
If I sang to you yesterday 
I'll sing more than that tomorrow 

If it should happen that you come to me 
In the night we share our hearts 
Whatever it is that you done to me 
Between you and me, can't be undone 

If I should understand just why I need you by me 
Then I would know the reasons for the songs of mornin' 
'Cause if I wanted you yesterday 
If in the nights we shared our hearts 
Whatever it is that you done to me 
Between you and me, can't be undone 

Hey love, don't be afraid to stay until tomorrow 
The lover's dawn is waiting just this side of day 
If you thought I loved you yesterday 
I'll love you more than that tomorrow 

If you thought I loved you yesterday 
I'll love you more than that tomorrow

Lite A Flame
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro



In the zoo
They gave him a cage
Circus put a sparkle
On his face
Away from life
The elephant walks
Shadow across a dream
Lost for ivory

Oh freedom
Lite a flame

It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Masai moon
In the morningrise

Africa 
The world comes alive
A matriarch
Leads the tribe
To the sweet water
The cool feelin'
And the way to survive

Oh freedom
Lite a flame

It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Of the plain
For greed not need
Societies sleep
Lead the killing hand on

Young ones full of spark
A wave of birds across the park
Kids climbing
Sliding, riding free
Elephant child hiding
Behind a tree

Prejudice
For an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

More Than Just A Joy
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin



You’re more than just a joy, baby 
You’re more than just a joy, baby 

Loving you tenderly is just what I need for me 
Oh, the way you warm my buns sweet 
Honey begins to run 

You’re more than just a joy, baby 
You’re more than just a joy 
You’re more than just a man, baby 

Takes my kind of woman to understand you, baby 
I’m sweet willing proof 
Your one woman stock, best of breed 
You know when I show I’ll be just what my baby needs 

You make it so easy 
So easy to please me 
I’ve had so many to find out 
I really haven’t had any 
Your sincerity, baby, makes me true 
I’m gonna stretch on out right here 
And just go ahead and do what I’ve got to do 

Give me good feelings beyond my mind’s belief 
But when it’s finally over 
I must confess that I’m relieved 

You’re more than just a joy, baby 
You’re more than just a joy

I woke up screamin' this mornin'
I sat bolt upright in bed
I saw a red sky a-dawnin'
Must've been somethin' I read

Lynda do ya wanna dance
Lynda give me half a chance
Lynda just a passin' glance
And we're fallin' in love

Don't see no ship goin' under
Don't hear no pourin' rain
Don't hear no lightnin' and thunder
I just hear the sound of your name

Lynda do ya' wanna dance
Lynda give me half a chance
Lynda just a passin' glance
And we're fallin' in love

Keep the machinery runnin'
If it ever gets out of hand
You can be my Wonder Woman
I'll just be your Spider Man

Lynda do ya' wanna dance
Lynda give me half a chance
Lynda just a passin' glance
And we're fallin' in love

Ooohhhh

For I love you more than ever, every day

More than ever
More than ever, my love ….

Lyin' In A Bed Of Fire
Composer(s): Steven Van Zandt 
Performer(s): Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul



Where does all the smoke come from baby
Ain't it hard to see through it
Don't it hurt your eyes to try
It was so much easier yesterday
When all we had to do was survive

Well it's trust somebody or we're all goin' down baby
But the neighborhood ain't what it used to be
In case you ain't looked lately
You wait and pray, maybe it'll all go away
It clings like a curse
But being nowhere is worse

We're lyin' in a bed of fire
Did we come all this way just to blow it
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
We're burnin' and we don't even know it
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
If you want to keep what you got then defend her
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
Better wake up now or surrender

Whatever happened to everybody I heard talkin' so loud
All the changes that never came to be
I've still got that same old bad taste in my mouth
Somebody took something that once belonged to me

Well it may not be in my best interest to be pointing my finger
But I'm still pointing my finger right at you
Take control or keep following blind
I'm trying to get straight but I'm running out of time

We're lyin' in a bed of fire
Can't you feel the heat all around us
We're lyin' in a bed of fire
The flames threatening to drown us

Had me a real bad dream last night
This morning my bad dream was alive walking the streets of New York City
Somebody has to face this thing somehow
There's no one left but us now
We're all just lyin' in a bed of fire 

More Than Ever
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



If there are any words 
That we haven't said
Let us say them
I know all too well 
How people's lies betray them

More than ever 
I'll wait for you there 
More than ever 
I will need you to care 
And I'll never 
Need more than a prayer 
To be near you 
To be near you 

Time is a baby child 
Found in the rain 
Born of fever 
She'll bring you pretty songs 
Laced through with lies 
But don't you believe her

More than ever 
I'll wait for you there 
More than ever 
I will need you to care 
And I'll never need 
More than a prayer 
To be near you
To be near you

Lyin' Eyes
Composer(s): Glenn Fry - Don Henley
First release by: Eagles - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night that big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has it's price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers that it's only for a while
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
She goes away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night that's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny you knew how life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
