(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away) (Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
Tonight my heart she is crying Tonight my heart she is sad Tonight the wind she is sighing For the love that I had
The Moon is there in the sky above But not the way it was before My baby's eyes, filled with shining love Do not see me anymore (Not see her anymore)
(Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away) (Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away)
My baby's heart is like the diamond stone So very beautiful, but cold My baby's heart is like the diamond stone So very beautiful, but cold
Tonight my heart she is crying There is no happiness for me Tonight my dream she is dying Like the ripple on the sea
I make the future, I make the plan The plan she do not turn out right My baby leave me for another woman And my heart she cries tonight (Her heart she cries tonight)
Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away Love is the bird that spreads the wings and flies away
Joshua Giraffe was born in a zoo He lived there too For two years and a half He hasn't had a bath My mommy doesn't lick me Even when I'm sticky from Candy floss, candy apples, popcorn Soft drinks, jelly beans and gumdrops And there must be something better Than living in this cage But I'm really not too sure Because I'm really short of age
Joshua Giraffe was feeling kind of sad Things were going bad How little of life he had Wasting away with no room to play Trapped in a zoo with buffalo too So he went next door to the elephant And asked him what to do I'm wasting away with no room to play I'm trapped in a zoom with buffalo too The elephant was very old and gray And he had a huge balloon bottom He said Never fear Joshua A vision will appear
That night a dream came to Joshua And Joshua saw animals like crazy monkeys And a whole pile of Hippypotostropasuses And flitty moths Moths size 12 And sleazy lizards And a tribe of nasty saviars But Joshua wasn't afraid Because he sang himself this song
Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo Nothing can go wrong-o I'm in the Kongo
Even in his dream he knew He'd never get away Not even for a day Then a peanut hit him on the nose Joshua Giraffe was back in the zoo What could he do Awakened from his dream He'd never be the same Because of what he'd seen He'd seen Alligators, crocodiles, tree sloth Anacondas, cobras And large winged moths Orangatangs, baboons eating grapes Gibbons, rude mandrills and just plain apes
But Joshua was lucky He had some special friends And that day they went to the zoo But he was up tight so they waited till the night And they chopped his cage in two He discovered he could fly and He soared into the sky with them Wrapped around his neck And they haven't come back yet So if you see them get a net
That's right, they haven't come back yet But when they do, they say they are Going to free all the animals from their cages No matter how new or modern Even some pets too So if on your way home today You happen to find....
A baboon basking in the balcony Or a lion licking a lemon in the lobby Or a python perched in the pantry A wildebeest in the W.C. With a turtle twirling in your tub Don't be afraid Just say you're a friend of their friend
Tonight My Baby's Coming Home Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell and multiple other artists
Last night he called from Dallas He was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace He said honey you won't be alone for long I got to make just one more stop To pick up a ring in Little Rock And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home
Fourteen wheels a whinin' Four big headlights shinin' Him and that semi been away too long Hope he don't get stop from speedin' 'Cause I've got everything he's needin' Waitin' for him right here at home
He's got that big ole engine singin' Singin' my favorite song And I know he's headin' my way Rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home
For ten thousand miles I've missed him It's been a week since I kissed him And forty truckstops since I held him tight A million chicks and he can get 'em They wanna make love and he won't let 'em The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
He's got that big ole engine singin' I know he's headin' my way Rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home I know he's headin' my way... I know he's headin' my way...
I Have Dreamed From "The King and I" Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely And I have dreamed what a joy you'll be I have dreamed ev'ry word you'll whisper When you're close, close to me

In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What it's like to be loved by you I will love being loved by you
Joseph! Joseph! Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Nellie Casman; Saul Chaplin; Samuel Steinberg Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; and various other artists
A certain maid I know, is so afraid her boy Will never ask her, will she name the day He calls on her each night, and when she dims the light It's ten to one that you would hear her say
Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up Each time we make up after being through
So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Name the day, name the day
Oh Joseph, make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can wind up Oh Joseph, each time we make up after being through
Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
Yeah I can tell by the look in your eyes you've been bored for a long, long time You need love and so do I let's turn it all around
I don't want an everlasting thing I don't care if I see you again so grab your coat and honey tell your friends you won't be home you won't be home you won't be home
Tonight I'm yours do anything that you want me to don't hurt me, don't hurt me Tonight I'm yours do anything 'cos I want you to Just don't hurt me, baby
Yeah I don't really want to challenge you marry you or remember you I just wanna make love to you for twenty four hours or more or more
I'm only looking for a fantasy an interlude from reality don't want nobody tryin' to rescue me so rock me babe rock me babe rock me, rock me
Tonight I'm yours do anything that you want me to Don't hurt me, don't hurt me Tonight I'm yours do anything 'cos I want you to I want you to
And tomorrow morning we won't cry you go your way, honey, I'll go mine I'm the one who didn't waste your time remember me this way
And if you never see my face again think of me as a permanent friend the one who loved you like a hurricane then disappeared disappeared disappeared

I Have Come To Say Goodbye Composer(s): Andrew Carp
I have come to say good bye, Mary, darling For America, I sure must do my part Now be brave and do not cry, Mary, darling Though this parting almost breaks your heart I know you will be lonely, Mary darling I know that you will never cease to care My thoughts will ever be of you, dear When I'm in the trenches over there
'T Is for freedoms cause, this strife, Mary, darling For our liberty, On land and on the sea I would gladly give my life, Mary, darling Fighting for the world's democracy With conscience right I'm ready, Mary darling When duty calls a soldier must obey And if I am spared I'll return, dear Back to the good old U.S.A.
At evening I'll lie a-dreaming Dreaming of thee When o'er the sea In fancy I'll see you waiting Waiting at home, sweet home for me
Tonight, tonight I fell in love, I want the stars above To know tonight I fell in love Tonight, I gave my heart away to love that can stay 'Cause tonight I fell in love
Oh what a wonder, this magic spell I'm under! This feeling that I feel, is it really real? My heart beats so fast, I pray that it will last 'Til the end of time

Por ahi viene Joselito Con los ojos brillantitos Por la calle peñon Se ha 'tomao' tres botellas De coca-cola llenas De vino de chiclana Ya tiene las ganas Y ahora solo busca un sitio Donde le dejen cantar Ponme otra copa Tu ya sabes que mañana Voy a la mar ¡Ay! Joselito ¡ay!
Vigilancia reforzada En el puente el ambiente Es en technicolor Esto era muchos grados De marea al sur De Fernando poo Ya llego la hora De la zarzamora y sube La atmosfera del bar Y en el tubo 'traqueao' El salitre le ha 'dejao' Un rumor de alta mar ¡Ay! Joselito ¡ay!
Yo soy Joselito El de la voz de oro Que de puerto en puerto Voy dejando mi cuple Siete novias tuve Mas novias que un moro Me salieron malas Y a las siete abandone ¡Ay! Joselito ¡ay!
Tonight Carmen Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Foster & Allen; Just Two
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking Tonight Carmen's coming back home Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom Tonight Carmen's coming back home Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here Is trembling as never before My feelings I can't hide Resistance has all died My pride will rush outside The moment she walks through the door
The lips that have kissed her That've loved her and missed her Are lips that have cursed her at night In anguish and torment I've cursed as the night went From darkness till dawn's golden light I've thought of just taking these two hands and breaking The body I'm waiting to touch I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating While anticipating The woman I've wanted so much
I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours I've put brand new sheets on the bed I'm nervous, I'm trembling, recalling, remembering The way that she tosses her head I've given much thought To the fact that I ought to Have more control over my life How can I fight it, how can I deny it There's no way to hide it The love that I have for my Wife
I have a boyfriend (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) Met him a week ago (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) He's my forever (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) Last night he told me so
He's the boy that I adore Never felt like this before And I know I'll never let him go
I have a boyfriend (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom) (Whoo-eee-whoo) We'll never say goodbye (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) He made a promise (Boom) (Whoo-eee-whoo) He'll never make me cry (Boom-sh-boom)
Every time we kiss goodnight Feels so good to hold him tight And I thank the stars Up in the sky
(And someday I know) oh-oh, yeah (We'll walk down the aisle) Yes, we will (so much in love) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (wearing a smile)
Every time we kiss goodnight Feels so good to hold him tight Oh-oh, I'm so glad I have a boyfriend
I have a boyfriend Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh I have a boyfriend, yeaaaaah, I do
Josáh, La Que Pinta Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Sucedió que una vez, hace tiempo hubo un militar y el ejército fue una cadena de descubrimientos No podía perderse un amanecer pues la diana era antes que la claridad y se hizo costumbre una forma distinta de ver
Sucedió que una noche llegó al universo Josáh como una aparición de figuras en el sentimiento Vino de la ciudad donde viven los magos y llegó con el alma colgada del cinto sin saber que un soldado en el pecho no tiene fusil Encantó, revolvió, disgregó los aplomos puso tiendas gitanas en todos los templos y era solo una niña jugando a persona mayor
"Josáh, la que pinta, déjate ver" decía el soldado, decía el viento y la naturaleza con lenguaje que aún se podía oir...
Sucedió que se hizo tristeza el semblante del tiempo cada día era un Nudo Gordiano sin pies ni cabeza
Las mañanas dejaron de significar en más de una ocación no se cumplió el deber cada pase era un Día de Reyes en el curso de un mes Todo era Josáh, que bailaba a la noche una orgía pagana estallando en la piel todo era Josáh, la que pinta bailando el amor
Pero el mundo da vueltas y todo regresa a su cauce ya no era soldado, y Josáh se escondió en su país El que fuera soldado volvió a carpintero a ingeniero de minas o quizás boxeador aunque nunca regresa completo el soldado a su casa Entre días y ruídos se hallan recuerdos se revuelven gavetas, se somríe al ver objetos como un tiempo que se ha repartido en papeles y fotos
"Josáh, la que pinta, déjate ver" decía el soldado, decía el viento y la naturaleza con lenguaje que aún se podía oir...
Ce Soir ((Adapted from: Tonight (The Rubettes) - 1974)) Composer(s): Wayne Bickerton - Tony Waddington - André Pascal Performer(s): Philippe Leroy - 1974
Ce soir, mon cur est plein d'espoir Ce soir, pour toi, j'avais rêvé De retenir le temps pour pouvoir te garder Ce soir, reste avec moi, ce soir Roman d'amour ou tendre histoire Tout peut commencer ce soir Ce soir!
Ce soir, tout peut changer, ce soir Ce soir, mon cur s'est pris au jeu D'un million de soleils dans la nuit de tes yeux Ce soir, ne dis pas non, ce soir L'amour est là et toi et moi Et tout commence ce soir Oh! Ce soir!
Hier, j'étais un navire Perdu sous un ciel sans étoiles Mais, j'ai retrouvé la ville Puisque tu es là ce soir
Ce soir, mon cur est plein d'espoir Ce soir, pour toi, j'avais rêvé De retenir le temps pour pouvoir te garder Ce soir, reste avec moi, ce soir Roman d'amour ou tendre histoire Tout peut commencer ce soir Oh! Ce soir!

Ik probeer je te vergeven Maar ineens alles vergeten Kan ik niet...
Die turbulente jaren Dat wij samen waren Die vergeet ik niet...
Je ging zo vaak en zocht misschien Verboden liefde maar nadien Diep in je hart...
Wist je met jezelf geen raad Maar voor de liefde is het nooit te laat...
Met jou te leven was een hel Hoe zou ik kunnen leven zonder jou... Want wat je ook doet... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
Jij gaf me niet wat ik je gaf Mijn tranen waren nooit veraf Van verdriet...
Je zei wel dat je van me hield Maar wat heeft jou toen dan toch bezield...
Met jou te leven was een hel Hoe zou ik kunnen leven zonder jou... Want wat je ook doet... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
Jij lacht om mij Ik huil om jou Jij speelt met mij Omdat ik van je hou...
Al wat je zegt Dat doet me pijn Omdat je liegt En ik je heb vertrouwd...
Ik hou van jou, hou jij van mij ? Ik vraag alleen mij te beminnen... Want wat je ook doet ... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
Ik hou van jou, hou jij van mij ? Ik vraag alleen mij te beminnen... Want wat je ook doet ... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
