This One's For You Composer(s): Marty Panzer - Barry Manilow Performer(s): Barry Manilow
This one I'll never sell, they'll never understand I don't even sing it well, I try but I just can't But I sing it every night and I fight to keep it in Cause this one's for you, this one's for you
I've done a hundred songs from fantasies to lies But this one's so real for me that I'm that one who cries And I sing it every night and I fight to hide the tears Cause this one's for you, this one's for you
This one's for you wherever you are To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart This one's for all the love we once knew Like everything else I have, this one's for you Oh-uh-oh
I've got it all, it seems, for all it means to me But I sing of things I miss and things that used to be And I wonder every night, if you might just miss me too And I sing for you, I sing for you
This one's for you wherever I go To say the things I should have said, things that you should know This one's to say that all I can do Is hope that you will hear me sing 'cause this one's for you Oh-uh-oh
This one's for you wherever you are To say that nothings been the same since we've been apart Oh This one's for all the love we once knew

This Ole House ((Finnish Version: Seiska (Kipparikvartetti) - 1955)) Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen First release by: Stuart Hamblen - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
This ole house once knew my children This ole house once knew my wife This ole house was home and comfort As we fought the storms of life This ole house once rang with laughter This ole house heard many shouts Now she trembles in the darkness When the lightnin' walks about
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky This ole house is a-gettin' old This ole house lets in the rain This ole house lets in the cold On my knees I'm gettin' chilly But I feel no fear or pain 'Cause I see an angel peekin' Through a broken window pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Now this ole house is afraid of thunder This ole house is afraid of storms This ole house just groans and trembles When the night wind flings its arms This ole house is a-gettin' feeble This ole house is a-needin' paint Just like me it's tuckered out But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
And my old hound dog lies a sleepin' He don't know I'm gonna leave Else he'd wake up by the fire place And he'd sit down, howl and grieve But my huntin' days are over Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more Gabriel done brought in my chariot When the wind blew down the door
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer Ain't a-gonna need this house no more Ain't got time to fix the shingles Ain't got time to fix the floor Ain't got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend no window pane Ain't gonna need this house no longer I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints I'm ready to meet the saints
Crime Of Passion Composer(s): Mike Oldfield Performer(s): Mike Oldfield; Bamble Bee
On a bright day she passed away in the morning It's a cruel way to take her away with no warning He took her hands through every midnight hour And then saw her fading away like a spring shower
I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion
He stood to see if he could catch her breathing But it was no good, he understood she was leaving He looked outside the frosty window pane And then he saw her moving away, Elizabeth Jane
I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom in sight, it's a long climb But she would not give up the fight for a long time And I see a light come shining in tonight Baby, it's all right We couldn't have changed it with second sight
I can see a complete life's time Pictures and posters of times and fashion Nineteen years with no reason or rhyme Taken away in a crime of passion
I see freedom light shining in the night I see freedom but she wouldn't give up the fight
I see a light go shining in tonight Baby, it's all right We couldn't have changed it with second sight

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times Each time you break away, feel you're gone to stay Lonely nights that come, memories that go bringing you back again, hurting me more and more Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside 'cause each day that passes by you got me never knowing if I'm coming or going but I love you, yes I do I love you; this old heart weeps for you
I try hard to hide my hurt inside This old heart of mine always keeps me crying The way you treat me leaves me incomplete You're here for the day, gone for the week But if I want you a hundred times a hundred times I have you back I'm yours whenever you want me I wanna shout about it, tell the world about it 'cause I love you; this old heart weeps for you I love you, yes, I do
Maybe it's my mistake to show this love I feel inside 'cause each day that passes by you got me never knowing if I'm coming or going but I love you, yes I do This old heart weeps for you I love you; this old heart weeps for you I love you; yes I do I love you; this old heart weeps for you

Cried Like A Baby Composer(s): Craig Doerge; Paul Williams Performer(s): Bobby Sherman
Always had the best of everything Anything money could buy I go first class and I'll live like a king till I die I surround myself with treasure And devote each day to pleasure Until late at night this king begins to cry
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room Nobody there to hold my trembling hand And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room With nobody there to love or understand
In the comfort of my castle I have lived my life in style Let the troubled world just up and pass me by I surround myself with treasure and I fill each day with pleasure Until late at night this king begins to cry
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room Nobody there to hold my trembling hand And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room With nobody there to love or understand
In the hollow of an empire I've become a warrior king Hunting golden deals and million dollar schemes When our fate has been decided And my soul's been sub-divided I will cry alone for half forgotten dreams
And I have cried like a baby in the darkness of my room Nobody there to hold my trembling hand And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room With nobody there to love or understand
Cried like a baby in the darkness of my room Nobody there to hold my trembling hand And I cried like a baby in the darkness of my room With nobody there to love or understand

Criado Por Lobos Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
Todo lo que anda dando vueltas tarde o temprano nos alcanza hoy dejaré la puerta abierta y lo encararé Si fuimos criados por lobos amamantados en su fe quisiera encontrar el modo para volverte a ver
Sueños, sueños el viento se lleva los sueños Deja, sólo deja... hojas secas en el lugar
Dame refugio dámelo ya hoy que he perdido casi todo y ya no se si estás si cualquier modo fuimos criados por lobos
Caminaré por Buenos Aires con mi guitarra y mi gabán mi detector de mentiras en medio de la oscuridad y cuando encuentre al que me dijo que fuiste criada por lobos le haré decir mil veces Piedad y lo pondré a soñar...
Sueños, sueños el viento se lleva los sueños Deja, sólo deja... hojas secas en el lugar
Dame refugio dámelo ya hoy que he perdido casi todo y ya no se si estás si cualquier modo fuimos criados por lobos
y ya no se si estás si cualquier modo fuimos criados por lobos

Cri Du Coeur Composer(s): Henri Crolla; Jacques Prévert Performer(s): Edith Piaf and multiple other artists
C'est pas seulement ma voix qui chante C'est l'autre voix, une foule de voix Voix d'aujourd'hui ou d'autrefois Des voix marrantes, ensoleillées Désespérées, émerveillées Voix déchirantes et brisées Voix souriantes et affolées Folles de douleur et de gaieté
C'est la voix d'un chagrin tout neuf La voix de l'amour mort ou vif La voix d'un pauvre fugitif La voix d'un noyé qui fait plouf C'est la voix d'une enfant qu'on giffle C'est la voix d'un oiseau craintif La voix d'un moineau mort de froid Sur le pavé d' la rue d' la joie...
Et toujours, toujours quand je chante Cet oiseau-là chante avec moi Toujours, toujours, encore vivante Sa pauvre voix tremble pour moi Si je disais tout ce qu'il chante Tout c'que j'ai vu et tout c'que j'sais J'en dirais trop et pas assez Et tout ça je veux l'oublier
D'autres voix chantent un vieux refrain C'est leur souvenir, c'est plus le mien Je n'ai plus qu'un seul cri du coeur : "j'aime pas l'malheur! j'aime pas l'malheur!" Et le malheur me le rend bien Mais je l' connais, il m' fait plus peur Il dit qu'on est mariés ensemble Même si c'est vrai, je n'en crois rien
Sans pitié j'écrase mes larmes Je leur fais pas d'publicité Si on tirait l'signal d'alarme Pour des chagrins particuliers Jamais les trains n'pourraient rouler Et je regarde le paysage Si par hasard il est trop laid J'attends qu'il se refasse une beauté
Et les douaniers du désespoir Peuvent bien éventrer mes bagages Me palper et me questionner J'ai jamais rien à déclarer L'amour comme moi part en voyage Un jour je le rencontrerai A peine j'aurai vu son visage Tout de suite je le reconnaîtrai...
Jamie Composer(s): Mickey Stevenson; Barrett Strong Performer(s): Eddie Holland
Shhhhhh Listen my friends while I tell you About a girl that's so divine I love her for the joy she's brought me For she's mine all mine Oh, Jamie Talkin' 'bout Jamie Talkin' 'bout Jamie That's my love
Hair so long and pretty Eyes that shine like gold She has the kind of love for me That will never, never grow old Oh, Jamie I'm talkin' 'bout Jamie Oh talkin' 'bout Jamie That's my girl
Ooh
She comforts me when I am sad now She sticks with me when times are bad She kisses me and holds me so tight To me she's out of sight
Oh.. Lips so warm and tender Kisses so divine I thank the Lord up above For making Jamie all mine I'm so glad to belong to her And she's mine all mine
It must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Oh this must be love, I'm feeling This must be love
Well I wait in every day, just in case You decide to call And I can hardly wait, 'cause I never thought time could pass so slowly
It must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Oh this must be love, I'm feeling This must be love
Happiness is something I never thought I'd feel again, but now I know It's you that I've been looking for And day by day more and more I know what you think, you've heard it before Don't tell me I know But this feeling inside my heart You know I'm never letting go 'Cause I think that...
It must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Oh this must be love, I'm feeling This must be love
Words can only say so much It's hard to express The things you do to me You're everything I could ever dreamed you'd be
This must be love, I'm feeling This must be love Oh this must be love, I'm feeling This must be love...
