I Owe You One Composer(s): Phil Galdston; Jon Lind; Wendy Waldman Performer(s): Aaron Neville
There's a chill in the evening air Carries me back to some place where I thought I'd lost my way forever Every dream and every plan Every last chance slipped through my hand And you smiled at me and it was over Holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right And I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one Walk me down those streets again Stop me right at the moment when You stood there talking to a stranger Tell me how you looked at me And knew the very best that I could be How did you see this happy ending Standing by your side I'm still surprised I try to say it right But I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one One for life and one for love And all you've given me For the dreams you made me dream again And all that we can be Holding you tonight, holding you tonight Hold on tight I try to say it right I guess sometimes the words don't come And I wish I'd told you how you changed my life And saved me with your love I hope when all is said and done You know I owe you one

I Overlooked An Orchid (While Searching For A Rose)
I Overlooked An Orchid (While Searching For A Rose) Composer(s): Carl Story; Shirly Lynn; Carl Smith Performer(s): Carl Smith and multiple other artists
The orchid is a flower That blooms so tenderly To thrill the fairest lady of the land If placed beside a blushin' rose The rose could not compare But how was such as I to understand
I overlooked an orchid While searching for a rose The orchid that I overlooked was you The rose that I was searching for Has proved to be untrue The orchid now I find, my dear, was you
The rose has lost it's colour But the orchid is the same And I'm alone to face these lonely years I didn't see the orchid I was looking for a rose And now I pay the price with bitter tears
I overlooked an orchid While searching for a rose The orchid that I overlooked was you The rose that I was searching for Has proved to be untrue The orchid now I find, my dear, was you

First performance by: The Princeton University Triangle Club - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
I wish that we could live up in the sky Where we would find a place away up high We'd live among the stars, the sun, the moon Just you and I
East of the sun and west of the moon We'll build a dream house of love, dear Near to the sun in the day Near to the moon at night We'll live in a lovely way, dear Living on love and pale moonlight Just you and I Forever and a day Love will not die We'll keep it that way Up among the stars we'll find A harmony of life to a lovely tune East of the sun and west of the moon, dear East of the sun and west of the moon
Triangolo Composer(s): Renato Zero Performer(s): Renato Zero
L'indirizzo ce l' ho... rintracciarti non è un problema ti telefonerò, ti offrirò una serata strana il pretesto lo sai, quattro dischi e un po' di whisky sarò grande vedrai, fammi spazio e dopo mi dirai che maschio sei!
Lui chi è? Come mai l' hai portato con te? Il suo ruolo mi spieghi qual'è? Io volevo incontrarti da sola... semmai!!! Mentre lui, lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è?... già è difficile farlo con te... mollalo! Lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è? Lui chi è? E' distratto ma è certo di troppo, mollalo!!!
Mi aspettavo lo sai, un rapporto un po' più normale quale eventualità, trovagli una collocazione ora spiegami dai, l'atteggiamento che dovrò adottare... mentre io rischierei di trovarmi al buio fra le braccia lui... non è il mio tipo...
I Oughta Let Go Composer(s): Steve Diamond; T. Seals; E. Setser Performer(s): 38 Special
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
It's only Monday, and my heart's already broken I had a feeling it was gonna be different this time But you were just talkin', going through the motions And all the teachings were backin' up your lines
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for Some kind of affection that I can believe in You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for Some kind of affection that I can believe in You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out I oughta know better, I oughta let go
I oughta know better, I just oughta let go Man I've got to be crazy, some kind of fever ...
East Of Eden Composer(s): Michael McDonald Performer(s): Michael McDonald
The world goes mad around us As I stand by and watch you sleep In the hope that harm won't find us I pray the lord our souls to keep Does he see us here? Are we precious in his sight? Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball? He hurled out into the night Somewhere east of Eden
From the first time that we stumble We learn that nothing is assurred However hopelessly we tumble It's by the grace of God that we endure If there's some better place Far from all that's wrong But if God in his wisdom Saw fit to put you here Then here is where I belong Somewhere east of Eden
Maybe he laughs in our face By way of the cold hard fact That these moments framed in time and space Are the same ones nothing can bring back
Maybe we exist and wonder through this world Just to lead each other home From somewhere east of Eden
Triad Composer(s): David Crosby First recording/First release: The Byrds - 1967/Jefferson Airplane - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
You want to know how it will be Me and him and you and me You both stand there your long hair flowing Your eyes alive your mind still growing Saying to me -- "What can we do now that we both love you" I love you too -- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three You are afraid -- embarrassed too No one has ever said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder Face like ice -- a little bit colder Saying to you -- "you can not do that, it breaks All the rules you learned in school" I don't really see Why can't we go on as three We love each other -- it's plain to see There's just one answer comes to me -- Sister -- lovers -- water brothers And in time -- maybe others So you see -- what we can do -- is to try something new -- If you're crazy too -- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three
Up The Junction Composer(s): Glenn Tilbrook; Chris Difford First release by: Squeeze - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham Out on a windy common That night I ain't forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said "You are a lady" "Perhaps" she said "I may be"
We moved into a basement With thoughts of our engagement We stayed in by the telly Although the room was smelly We spent our time just kissing The Railway Arms we're missing But love had got us hooked up And all our time it took up
I got a job with Stanley He said I'd come in handy And started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she'd seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter The weather brass and bitter I put away a tenner Each week to make her better And when the time was ready We had to sell the telly Late evenings by the fire With little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50 I took her rather nifty Down to an incubator Where thirty minutes later She gave birth to a daughter Within a year a walker She looked just like her mother If there could be another
And now she's two years older Her mother's with a soldier She left me when my drinking Became a proper stinging The devil came and took me From bar to street to bookie No more nights by the telly No more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchen I feel there's something missing I'd beg for some forgiveness But begging's not my business And she won't write a letter Although I always tell her And so it's my assumption I'm really up the Junction

Covered by multiple other artists
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Keep your foot hard on the pedal, Son, never mind them brakes Let it all hang out 'cause we got a run to make The boys are thirsty in Atlanta and there's beer in Texarcana And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
Ol' Smokey's got them ears on and he's hot on your trail He ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail So you got to dodge 'im and you got to duck 'im You got to keep that diesel truckin' Just put that hammer down and give it hell
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin' We're gonna do what they say can't be done We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there I'm east bound, just watch ol' Bandit run
I Only Want To Love You Composer(s): Mike Pinder Performer(s): Mike Pinder
Looking back, sometimes I wondered Who held the key to your heart Now I know, through places I travelled Our love's unraveled a chart...
In my life I've waited... For a chance to really make it... Something written into my stars. Past lives that I've lived Only lead up to a Gift Of speaking out my thoughts in my songs
I only want to love you I only want to care I'd like a friend to talk to My feelings are to share...my life with someone I hope it's you and that you'll care
Our imagination is a secret of creation Given to us right at the start And our Destination is reaching for salvation From the city streets we've outgrown
I only want to love you I only want to care I'd like a friend to talk to My feelings are to share my life...with someone I hope it's you and that you'll care
I only want to love you... So will you play this song again...

Covered by multiple other artists
My friends all tell me Go to him, run to him Say sweet lovely things to him And tell him - he's the one
Deep in my heart I know it But it's so hard to show it 'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
My buddies tell me Fly to him, sigh to him Tell him I would die for him And tell him - he's the one
Although he gives me a feeling That sets my heart a-reeling Yet it's easier - easier said than done
Well, I know that I love him so I'm afraid that he'll never know Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me Sing to him, swing with him And just do anything for him And tell him - he's the one
I got a love so true But I'm sad and blue 'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
Well, I know that I love him so I'm afraid that he'll never know Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me Sing to him, swing with him And just do anything for him And tell him - he's the one
I got a love so true But I'm sad and blue 'Cause it's easier - easier said than done Easier-er-er-er - said than done

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only know I never want to let you go 'Cause you started something, can't you see Ever since we met you've had a hold on me It happens to be true, I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do I want to spend each moment of the day with you Look what has happened with just one kiss I never knew that I could be in love like this It's crazy but it's true I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me asked me if I'd care to dance I fell into your open arms I didn't stand a chance
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere As long as we're together, honey, I don't care 'Cause you started something, can't you see Ever since we met you've had a hold on me No matter what you do, I only want to be with you

If I could ease your pain If I could lighten your load If I could make it just a little better for you If I could just help you find That sacred place in your mind Where the light of understanding love Outshines the sun
You know, sweet moonshine is not just Illegal whiskey It can also be the light guides you Through the shadows of fear When the Devil is near An' you need some kind of helping hand To carry you through
Know you been livin' in a down hill arraign For seein' your death on a military plane You said: "Oh, now "Can't take no more now" No doubt about it when you find out about it You gonna wanna run an' tell all your friends about it Easy, it's so easy
Peace on earth is comin' on strong You bad guys better believe us We're all workin' on the same sweet song You better get ready, by Jesus He'll never leave us Standin' in the middle of a road With a load of mankind's dirty laundry
We're all livin' in the same big boat An' you know we just can't fake it If you don't think that you can float C'mon, we'll help you make it Because we love you
If I could ease your pain If I could lighten your load If I could make it just a little better for you If I could just help you find That sacred place in your mind Where the light of understanding love Outshines the sun
Where the light of understanding love Outshines the sun
Tres Agujas Composer(s): Fito Páez Performer(s): Fito Páez
Los barcos viajan de país en país la luna no siempre es la misma y vos te vas a ir, solo en la habitación tu mamá se fue a Marruecos sin alhajas Es algo así como cansarse de todo y todo sigue dando vueltas Estoy abriéndome, estoy cansándome mi nación no tiene cruces ni banderas No es que no te crea es que las cosas han cambiado un poco Es mi corazón quien decide entre el mar y la arena Necesito verte antes que sea demasiado tarde casi son las tres, tres agujas tengo en la cabeza No, creo que nunca es tarde, una válvula de escape se transforme en un acorde No, es que yo no quiero más nadar en piletas Están partiendo el mundo por la mitad
están quemándose las velas Están usándome, están riéndose y mi canción es un antídoto liviano No es que no te crea es que las cosas han cambiado un poco Es mi corazón quien decide entre el mar y la arena Necesito verte antes que sea demasiado tarde casi son las tres, tres agujas tengo en la cabeza Una cuerda es una bala, el amor un ejercicio una iglesia es como un circo No, es que yo no quiero más nadar en piletas Quiero vivir aquí, más quiero cambiar cambiar para sentirme vivo y te daré una flor antes que un decadrón oh! mi amor, estoy tranquilo pero herido
