Oh my God here U are Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen Close my eyes what's it like What's it like inside your tamborine?

So, go ahead and cry, go ahead and cry Go ahead and cry
Love is so easy to play, but so hard to win You're still a young man, you're heart will love again (It takes one) Little kiss from her sweet tender lips (It takes one) Gentle touch from her soft fingertips It takes more than one tear, to mend a broken heart (A broken heart)

Zé qualquer tava sem samba, sem dinheiro Sem Maria sequer Sem qualquer paradeiro Quando encontrou um samba Inútil e derradeiro Numa inútil e derradeira Velha nota de um cruzeiro
``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Do semblante meio contrariado Que fazes parado No meio dessa nota de um cruzeiro rasgado ``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante Sei que antigamente era bem diferente Desculpe a liberdade E o samba sem maldade Deste Zé qualquer Perdão Marquês de Tamandaré Pedrão Marquês de Tamandaré
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Cadê as batalhas Cadê as medalhas Cadê a nobreza Cadê a marquesa, cadê Não diga que o vento levou Teu amor até
Pois é, Tamandaré A maré não tá boa Vai virar a canoa E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré Meu marquês de papel Cadê teu troféu Cadê teu valor Meu caro almirante O tempo inconstante roubou
Zé quaquer tornou-se amigo do marquês Solidário na dor Que eu contei a vocês Menos que queira ou mais faça É o fim do samba, é o fim da raça Zé qualquer tá caducando Desvalorizando Como o tempo passa, passando Virando fumça, virando Caindo em desgraça, caindo Sumindo, saindo da praça Passando, sumindo Saindo da praça

And the night you don't come my way I pray and pray more each day because we love you Mr. Moonlight

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich spür in deiner Nähe Wie gut ich dich verstehe Und wär so gern für immer Und alle Zeit bei dir
Doch wenn ich ganz alleine bin Und traurig und ganz klein bin Mit meinen dummen Träumen Dann sage ich zu mir
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Ich schaue in den Garten Wo tausend Blumen warten Das sie sich wärmen können Im Sommersonnenschein
Dann kommen bunte Falter Als ihre Unterhalter Doch bringt ein Tag nur Regen Dann bleiben sie allein
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon Sowie ein bunter Luftballon Den man nicht halten kann
Es ist mein allerliebster Gast Der leider fortgeht ab und zu Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling Und mein Glück bist nur du

Mr. Moon Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson Performer(s): Blue
Last night Mr. Moon came calling He laid his silver just as sun was falling Sprinkled sparkling stardust in the sky So I pulled up close to the riverside Picked some sticks for firelight And sat and watched the sparks flying high
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked at my reflection Well I know I'm not so trouble free But on that night, I had to be The stars they commanded me to smile
Oh, and it made me feel good Just to watch the burning wood As I sat and looked on my reflection Well I maybe right and I maybe wrong But I got music for a little song When I gazed upon the magic moonlight night
Glory Glory Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere Performer(s): The Rascals
I saw a child He was carrying a light I asked where it came from He blew it right out His eyes looked into me His voice was a song He said tell me tell me do you Know where it's gone
(Chorus) Glory, Glory My eyes have seen the mountain My soul can sing the song Glory, Glory Singing Hallelujah The truth is marching on
Every morn' the sun lights us all The trees ask for nothing They just let their fruit fall Fire's the same no matter What the source The flame of life burns on It's never, never lost

Mr. Monday Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter
He gets up at eight oclock On cold clear winter days He eats his food at half past eight And clears the pots away He drives his car in the city streets And he meets along the way A lot of tall dark people Who stand there all the day Hes Mister Monday He works all day from nine to five Hes Mister Monday He lives alone in the city I see him in the evening I pass him at the door I say, Hello, how are you? And I know hes very poor He looks at the street through his window He watches the people pass by He loves little dogs and children And he never tells a lie Hes Mister Monday ...
