    The Best Of Everything
    Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Alfred Newman
    Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
    and multiple other artists



    The best of everything - that’s (that is) what I wish you all
    The best of everything - a rembrandt (hanging) on your (the) wall

    A yacht that wins you cups
    Skateboards with style and speed
    Show dogs or loving pups
    The pride of the pound or the pedigreed

    I hope you win that prize - pass that blue ribbon test
    I hope your good keeps getting better - ’til your better’s best

    With every wine you taste
    With every song you sing
    By now you may have guest
    I hope you get the best of everything

    Canção De Pedroca
    Performer(s): Chico Buarque



    Quando nos apaixonamos
    Poça d'água é chafariz
    Ao olhar o céu de Ramos
    Vê-se as luzes de Paris

    No verão é uma delícia
    A brisa fresca de Bangu
    Mesmo um cabo de polícia
    Só nos diz merci beaucoup

    Eu ouço um samba de breque
    Com Maurice Chevalier
    Bebo com Toulouse Lautrec
    No bar do Caxinguelê

    Daí ninguém mais estranha
    O Louvre na Praça Mauá
    E o borbulhar de champanha
    Num gole de guaraná

    Cascadura é Rive Gauche
    O Mangue é Champs Elisées
    Até mesmo um bate-coxa
    Faz lembrar um pas-de-deux
    Purê de batata roxa
    Parece marron glacé

    Walking here from beyonder
    Just to see (Just to see the right road)
    Just to see
    You know I don't wanna leave here
    You know I don't wanna go (No I don't wanna go)

    You get that little something (boh-boh)
    Something to hold on to (boh-boh)
    The pain that I can't take (boh-boh)
    I say just what I'll do (boh-boh)
    Someone give me back (boh-boh)
    Just some way to do

    You know I'm gonna thank you (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    For being just that way (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    You know I'm gonna love you (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    Every minute of every day (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    You know I just couldn't stand it (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    Couldn't stand it any other way (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)

    Flying, heading for the wonder
    Now you see (Now you see oh, oh, oh)
    Now you see
    Finding you this way
    As the breezes blow (As the breezes blow)

    I got that funny feeling (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    Now you made it mine (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    You look so overjoyed (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    Now it's doing fine (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    Grow a little gun (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
    And feathers from your tree (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)

    You know I'm gonna thank you (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)

    The Best Man
    Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Fred Wise
    Performer(s): Nat King Cole



    I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks
    'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks
    Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be
    And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me

    She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
    She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
    She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
    That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

    But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins
    But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins
    The way it all turned out, there was no doubt
    That I was best man in the end
    Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend

    She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
    She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
    She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
    That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

    So don't you think you're best til you pass the test
    And you know all the ladies' tricks
    'Cause you'll wind up as the best man
    While the other guy gets the chicks

    Canção Da América Composer(s): Fernando Brant - Milton Nascimento Performer(s): Milton Nascimento and multiple other artists



    Amigo é coisa para se guardar
    Debaixo de 7 chaves
    Dentro do coração
    assim falava a canção que na América ouvi
    mas quem cantava chorou ao ver o seu amigo partir
    mas quem ficou, no pensamento voou
    o seu canto que o outro lembrou
    E quem voou no pensamento ficou
    uma lembrança que o outro cantou
    Amigo é coisa para se guardar
    No lado esquerdo do peito
    mesmo que o tempo e a distância digam não
    mesmo esquecendo a canção
    O que importa é ouvir a voz que vem do coração
    Seja o que vier
    venha o que vier
    Qualquer dia amigo eu volto pra te encontrar
    Qualquer dia amigo, a gente vai se encontrar

    Aproveito pra agradecer à meus amigos
    Eline taisa Smili, Rafa.......
    E dizer que Danilo vc sempre vai ser meu amigo.........

    Oh sweetheart mine, it's wedding time
    The whole world seems to say
    The summer days are fading
    Into loveland let us stray
    Birds sing merrily
    High up in each tree
    And, sweetheart, they sing messages
    Just for you and me

    Your heart is beating peacefully
    When friends are fond and true
    The world is filled with gladness
    When the one you love loves you
    Mountains or the sea over we may roam
    The path that leands to love, sweet love
    Leads to home sweet home

    The birds are humming, "go feather your nest"
    Tomorrow's coming so feather your nest
    It's time for mating, no use hesitating
    The parson is waiting, he knows just whether it's best
    In a home for two, love, together we'll rest
    Where only true love, can weather the test
    Don't be delaying, the organ is playing
    The whole world is saying, "Go feather your nest"

    Covered by multiple other artists



    Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
    You came along and everything started to hum
    Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

    The best is yet to come and won't that be fine
    You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

    Wait till the warm-up's underway
    Wait till out lips have met
    Wait till you see that sunshine day
    You ain't seen nothin' yet

    The best is yet to come and won't that be fine
    The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine

    From the day that your mine
    I'm gonna teach you to fly
    We've only tasted the wine
    We're gonna drain that cup dry

    Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround
    You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground

    Wait till you're locked in my embrace
    Wait till I hold you near
    Wait till you see that sunshine place
    There ain't nothin' like it here

    The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
    The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine

    Canary Isle
    Performer(s): Ben Schwartz



    Down on an isle where palm trees sway
    There's where I'll while my time away
    I hear it calling me
    From way out in the sea
    That's just the reason why I say

    The balmy air just breathes perfume
    And maidens dance 'neath tropic moon
    Romance is everywhere
    There's not a thought or care
    Nothing can get me there too soon

    Canary Isle where birds are singing
    My fairy land, I'm going there
    A little while, and I'll be bringing
    A song of love, to my lady fair (Music will fill the air)
    And while we're crooning, a long in tune
    Beneath the bright stars and silv'ry moon
    You'll hear my song
    I'll see your smile
    Then I'll belong
    In Canary Isle

    Fearless
    Composer(s): Gary Nicholson;
    Wally Wilson; Brian Stoltz
    Performer(s): The Neville Brothers



    I took a walk along the sea
    Lost in thoughts of you and me
    Just like the moon, turning the tide
    I feel a pull from so deep inside

    So many questions haunting us
    So many doubts attacked our love
    Dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong
    Against the odds, we must carry on
    We must be strong and fearless
    We must be fearless

    Counting on help from above
    Trusting the power of love
    We must be fearless, fearless, fearless

    For so long I was afraid
    To step from the shadows of my mistakes
    Your love has given me the courage I need
    Together I know, nothing can stop you and me
    If we are fearless
    We must be fearless

    Counting on help from above
    Trusting the power of love
    We must be fearless
    We must be fearless

    We must stand in the light, willing to fight
    Whatever may come betwen us and be fearless
    We must be fearless

    Counting on help from above
    Trusting the power of love
    We must be fearless, fearless, fearless

    The Best Days Of My Life
    Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Jim Cregan
    Performer(s): Rod Stewart



    You always said living with me was impossible
    Try it I said just like the wind I'm changeable
    We ain't got money but we sure got laughs
    lots of loving too
    So I confess on my behalf
    you're giving me honestly
    the best days of my life

    Your whispering girls said don't be a fool
    don't give into him
    He's an animal treat you like dirt
    then he'll turn you in
    You two are not compatible
    It'll never never last
    They said I wasn't even suitable
    But you're giving me honestly
    the best days of my life

    Sometimes I wonder
    why does she bother with me at all
    So staid in my ways
    Let's face it my dear, I'm insufferable

    The crazy nights spilling into days
    with all my noisy friends
    But they all love you as much as I
    Giving me constantly
    the best days of my life
    And a day without you at this point my dear
    seems unthinkable
    A night without you more often
    than not is unbearable

    But if it all can't work out
    one can never never tell
    In my heart there is no doubt
    you gave to me unselfishly
    the best days of my life

    But if it all can't work out one can never never tell

    On a dusty road you sit
    Fearfully in danger
    The intentions of my attitude
    Have mastered the adventure

    You'll be placed in harmony
    A degree of anger
    You have landed painfully
    Fearfully in danger

    In a state of trance
    You may come and dance
    You may sing the void for me

    Constantly cold with fear
    I know that I do not need you here

    Does it fit your fears
    Does it suit your face

    No, you cannot grasp
    The phase

    Fearfully in danger
    Fearfully in danger

    De hemel vol sterren en de maan ontwaakt
    Het leven in nachtblauw
    Schaduwen teken de wereld opnieuw
    Een wereld in nachtblauw
    Nachtblauw
    Wat verder in de buurt merk ik
    hoe jij ook door het raam staart
    Er zijn geen woorden nodig want ik weet
    Wat in jou omgaat, net als bij mij

    Jij bent ook zo passioneel
    En al je zorgen verdwijnen
    Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw
    Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw
    't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw
    Als het kon sliepen wij nooit

    'k Slenter door straten als ik jou wil ontmoeten
    Wat ook jij houdt van nachtblauw
    Hoog aan de hemel vliegt een vliegtuig voorbij
    En het is zo dichtbij
    Nachtblauw
    En als het even kon, dan zouden wij dat vliegtuig volgen
    We vlogen dan van nacht naar nacht en voelden ons geborgen
    Dicht bij elkaar

    Jij bent ook zo passioneel
    En al je zorgen verdwijnen
    Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw
    Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw
    't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw
    Als het kon sliepen wij nooit

    Er zijn geen woorden nodig want ik weet wat in jou omgaat
    Ook jij komt weer tot leven als het nachtblauw in de nacht
    Jouw ogen bereikt

    Jij bent ook zo passioneel
    En al je zorgen verdwijnen
    Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw
    Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw
    't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw

    Once I was alone
    So lonely and then
    You came, out of nowhere
    Like the sun up from the hills

    Cold, cold was the wind
    Warm, warm were your lips
    Out there, on that ski trail
    Where your kiss filled me with thrills

    A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
    Was the most I bargained for
    And then I discovered you and in your eyes
    I found the love that I couldn't ignore

    Down, down came the sun
    Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
    I knew when the sun set
    From that day, we'd never ever part

    Composer(s): Harold Rome
    Performer(s): Judy Garland;
    and various other artists



    I hear tell there's a stranger in the Jones' household
    (Yes siree, yes siree) That's what I am told
    I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old
    (Yes siree, yes siree) Worth his weight in gold
    Come right in and meet the son
    Christening's done, time to have some fun
    (Yes Siree, yes siree) yes siree-e-e-e
    (Yes siree, yes siree-e)

    It's a big holiday everywhere
    For the Jones Family has a brand new heir
    He's a joy heaven sent, and we proudly present
    Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

    When he grows up he never will stray
    With a name like the one that he got today
    When he walks down the street
    Folks will say "pleased to meet
    Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"

    What a smile, and how he shows it
    He'll be happy all day long
    What a name, I bet he knows it
    With that handle how can he go wrong

    And the folks in the town all agree
    He'll be famous, as famous as he can be
    How can he be a dud
    Or a stick-in-the-mud
    When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

    Go to sleep my baby, and maybe
    You'll balance the budget by and by
    Oh you're a lucky baby
    With Franklin D. for your name
    Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident
    Give him a fishing rod for a toy
    He's the future president
    When this rascal goes to school
    ABCs wont matter
    Teach him plain old `rithmetic
    And of course the fire side chatter
    My friends, my friends, let's all shout "Hooray"

    We'll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term
    Just you wait and see, he'll make history
    `Cause he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

    I call you when I need you
    And my heart's on fire
    You come to me, come to me
    Wild and wired
    You come to me, give me everything I need

    You bring a lifetime of promises
    And a world of dreams
    You speak the language of love
    Like you know what it means
    And it can't be wrong
    Take my heart and make it strong

    'Cause you're simply the best
    Better than all the rest
    Better than anyone
    Anyone I ever met
    I'm stuck on your heart
    I hang on every word you said
    Tear us apart
    Baby I would rather be dead

    Deep in your heart
    I see the start
    Of every night and every day
    And in your eyes I get lost
    I get washed away
    Just as long as I'm here in your arms
    I could be in no better place
    'Cause you're simply the best

    Canadian Railroad Trilogy Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1967



    There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
    When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
    Long before the white man and long before the wheel
    When the green dark forest was too silent to be real

    But time has no beginnings and hist'ry has no bounds
    As to this verdant country they came from all around
    They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall
    Built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all

    And when the young man's fancy was turnin' in the spring
    The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring
    Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day
    And many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay

    For they looked in the future and what did they see
    They saw an iron road runnin' from sea to the sea
    Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land
    All up through the seaports and into their hands

    Look away said they across this mighty land
    From the eastern shore to the western strand
    Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
    We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
    Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
    Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

    Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
    We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
    Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
    Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow
    Get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

    Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'
    The stars, they come stealin' at the close of the day
    Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping
    Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away

    We are the navvies who work upon the railway
    Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
    Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey
    Bendin' our old backs 'til the long days are done

    We are the navvies who work upon the railway
    Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
    Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges
    Bendin' our old backs 'til the railroad is done

    So over the mountains and over the plains
    Into the muskeg and into the rain
    Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe
    Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay
    Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down
    Away to the bunkhouse and into the town
    A dollar a day and a place for my head
    A drink to the livin' and a toast to the dead

    Oh the song of the future has been sung
    All the battles have been won
    O'er the mountain tops we stand
    All the world at our command
    We have opened up the soil
    With our teardrops and our toil

    For there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
    When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
    Long before the white man and long before the wheel
    When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
    When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
    And many are the dead men too silent to be real

    Fauve D'Amazone
    Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
    Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



    Je suis un grand fauve d'Amazone
    Je vis
    Dans la banlieue de Chinatown
    La nuit
    Au milieu des néons qui glissent
    Jusqu'au soleil entre mes cuisses

    Tu vivras quand je serai mort
    Quand on aura brûlé mon corps
    Quand la folie t'aura choisie like me

    Je suis un grand fauve d'Amazone
    Je crie
    Si fort que je suis aphone
    A la vie
    J'aime le sang bleu des métisses
    Et le triangle entre leurs cuisses

    Je cherche une femme de chair
    Une chaleur pas ordinaire
    Une sauvage sans abri like me

    Je suis un grand fauve d'Amazone
    Traqué
    Par du papier et par des ondes
    Truquées
    Je cherche un amour infaillible
    Un courant irrésistible

    C'est un grand désir primitif
    Un acte d'amour collectif
    Tu danses sur la galaxie like me

    Tu es un grand fauve d'Amazone
    Caché
    Quelque part dans les chromosomes
    Glacés
    Viens te chauffer à la musique
    Sors, sors un peu de ton flip

    Tu vivras quand je serai mort
    Quand on aura brûler mon corps
    Quand la folie t'aura choisie like me

    The Bells Of St. Mary's
    Composer(s): A. Emmett Adams - Douglas Furber
    Performer(s): Frances Alda
    and multiple other artists



    The bells of St. Mary's
    Ah! hear they are calling
    The young loves, the true loves
    Who come from the sea

    And so, my beloved
    When red leaves are falling
    The love bells shall ring out
    Ring out for you and me

    The bells of St. Mary's
    At sweet even time
    Shall call me, beloved
    To come to your side

    And out in the valley
    In sound of the sea
    I know you'll be waiting
    Yes, waiting for me

    At the porch of St. Mary's
    I'll wait there for you
    In your soft wedding dress
    With its ribbons of blue

    In the church of St. Mary's
    Sweet voices shall sing
    For you and me, dearest
    The wedding bells ring

    Canadian Pacific
    Composer(s): Ray Griff
    Performer(s): George Hamilton IV; Chet Atkins; Hank Snow



    I rode your ocean liner to Newfoundland
    Where I made a living in an iron mine
    When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia
    And I fished the salty waters for a time

    Passing thro' Prince Edward Island & New Brunswick
    I could see the rocks and cliffs of solid stone
    Listening to the seagulls calling to each other
    Made me miss my darling and my distant home

    Canadian Pacific, carry me 3,000 miles
    Through the valleys and the forests
    To the sunshine of her smile
    'Cross the plains and the rugged mountains
    Keep this wandering boy from harm
    Canadian Pacific, take me to my baby's arms

    The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon
    And Quebec lay waiting for me down the track
    For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving
    In Ontario I was a lumberjack

    Manitoba and Saskatchewan then followed
    Where the wheat fields and the old Red River flowed
    In the quiet hours your whistling on the praire
    Touched my heart and set my memories aglow

    I could feel the nearness of her warm, sweet kisses
    When you rolled into Alberta westward bound
    I worked on an oil rig to make some money
    For a ticket to the sweetest girl around

    Pushing on past Lake Louise in all it's splendor
    Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above
    I got to British Columbia and heaven
    On your track I made it back to my true love

    Canadian Pacific, carry me 3,000 miles
    Through the valleys and the forests
    To the sunshine of her smile
    'Cross the plains and the rugged mountains
    Keep this wandering boy from harm
    Canadian Pacific, take me to my baby's arms
