I See Only Sunshine Composer(s): Alex Chilton Performer(s): Box Tops
I sat last night at midnight Blinded by the daylight Sitting at the window, thinking about you and me I see our lives together I see our love forever I picture in my heart every night how it's gonna be Yea, Lord now...
I see only sunshine For you and me, for years to come, now I can see it, can't you see it too? We can share the nighttime Til the mornings shining squints our eyes, now Years of loving me and years of loving only you
I catch myself in daydreams Thinking about the hard times we've seen We've been through it; there ain't nothing but good times ahead I walk into walls, forget things Forget too match my clothes, my ears ring It circles in my head, did you listen to what I said, now? Yea, Lord now
Ella iba impecable, elegantísima con un temblor de ilusión en la sonrisa que otorga a las amigas como un regalo caro Ella iba radiante, radiantísima aunque a veces le nazca ambarina y purísima una furtiva lágrima de cristal veneciano El iba luciendo su viril elegancia su bigotito gris, su educación en Francia y la fábrica azul de su suegro en Manresa El iba orgulloso de su aristocracia que le ha permitido, y no es una desgracia amarrarse al duro banco de una galera burguesa Y comienza la boda y de repente estalla un ligero aleteo de sonrisas, medallas tules, lazos, satenes y condecoraciones Y alguna tosecilla provoca una mirada sobre alguna señora que enseguida indignada abanica elegante las malas intenciones La catedral es un barco que navega despacio sobre un mar de rosas de terciopelo lacio y atraca en el escote de una joven doncella Y en el altar barroco sueñan los serafines fuentes de porcelana con luces y delfines y paseos dorados en las noches de estrellas Y qué bien habla el abate y la novia era estrecha y ahora está muy gordita y la leve sospecha como un licor suavísimo les llena de contento Y ya la ceremonia como chicle se estira como un chicle de música mientras que gira y gira la noria hueca de los pensamientos Y el padre de la novia está feliz y piensa lo elegante que hará un escudo a su empresa y la madre a su lado de vez en cuando llora Y un caballero enjusto de cultura esmerada deposita un pañuelo en la mano enguatada diciendo: "España y yo somos así, señora"

I See Hope In The Morning Light
Composer(s): Danny Mitchell; Midge Ure
Performer(s): Midge Ure
(Huhuhuuuuuhuuuuu)
(Huuuuuhuuuuu)
(In the Morning Light)
(I see hope in the morning light)
(I see hope in the morning light)
Another long night caresses round me
Shows no pity knows no shame
To share its lifetime of endless moments
Till I can touch the light again
Everything changes, everything 'round us
Everything matters after all
Let something move me and I will follow
Not walking blind but walking tall
Where does it say that we must hide
Inside this cold divide where nothing good can grow, oho
When has a life been black and white
Where it's only wrong or right, I never felt so low
Deliver me from my sad story
(I see hope in the morning light)
Come to me in love and glory
(I see hope in the morning light)
Bringing peace and understanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
Emotional and undemanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
This heat that's growing from deep inside me
Lighted by your burning flame
But through the darkness when sleep surrounds me
I'll wake up crying out your name
There are no reasons, no lame excuses
To lock up freedom and desire
With love the power you came right through me
And turned this ember to a fire
(Deliver me from my sad story)
(I see hope in the morning light)
(Come to me in love and glory)
(I see hope in the morning light)
Where does it say that we must hide
Inside this cold divide where nothing good can grow
When has a life been black and white
Where it's only wrong or right, I never felt so low
Deliver me from my sad story
(I see hope in the morning light)
Come to me in love and glory
(I see hope in the morning light)
Bringing peace and understanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
Emotional and undemanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
Deliver me from my sad story
(I see hope in the morning light)
Oh, come to me in love and glory
(I see hope in the morning light)
Bringing peace, love and understanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
Emotional and undemanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
Oh, deliver me from my sad story
(I see hope in the morning light)
Come to me in love and glory
(I see hope in the morning light)
Bringing peace and understanding
(I see hope in the morning light)
Nosso amor não deu certo, gargalhadas e lágrimas
De perto fomos quase nada
Tipo de amor que não pode dar certo na luz da manhã
E desperdiçamos os blues do Djavan
Demasiadas palavras, fraco impulso de vida
Travada a mente na ideologia
E o corpo não agia como se o coração tivesse antes que optar
Entre o inseto e o inseticida
Não me queixo, eu não soube te amar
Mas não deixo de querer conquistar
Uma coisa qualquer em você, o que será?
Como nunca se mostra o outro lado da lua
Eu desejo viajar do outro lado da sua
Meu coração galinha de leão não quer mais amarrar frustração
Ó eclipse oculto na luz do verão
Mas bem que nós fomos muito felizes só durante o prelúdio
Gargalhadas e lágrimas até irmos pro estúdio
Mas na hora da cama nada pintou direito
É, minha cara, falar, não sou proveito sou pura fama
Nada tem que dar certo, nosso amor é bonito
Só não disse ao que veio, atrasado e aflito
E paramos no meio sem saber os desejos aonde é que iam dar
E aquele projeto ainda estará no ar?
Não quero que você fique fera comigo
Quero ser seu amor, quero ser seu amigo
Quero que tudo saia como som de Tim Maia, sem grilos de mim
Sem desespero, sem tédio, sem fim
Trouble Is My Middle Name Composer(s): John Gluck Jr. - Neval Nader Performer(s): Bobby Vinton; Brook Brothers; The Four Pennies
Hello, little girl, goodbye, little girl I'm not your kind of guy, little girl I'll only make you cry, little girl Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name
Each kiss, little girl, is sweet, little girl They sweep me off my feet, little girl But no more must our lips meet, little girl Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name
I'm just a born wanderer driftin' by one day Each place that I've been, heartbreak moved in So I'll move on my way
In time, little girl, you'll find, little girl I've been really kind, little girl Not changing your name to mine, little girl Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name
Not changing your name to mine, little girl Trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name
Oh, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name... Yes, trouble (trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble) is my middle name
I Second That Emotion Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Alfred W. Cleveland First release by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet But only for one night with no repeat Maybe you'd go away and never call And a taste of honey is worse than none at all (oh little girl)
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part That would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like loving me If you got the notion I second that emotion Said, if you feel like giving me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion
Maybe you think that love would tie you down You ain't got the time to hang around Maybe you think that love was made for fools So it makes you wise to break the rules
Oh little girl, in that case I don't want no part That would only break my heart Oh, but if you feel like loving me If you got the notion I second that emotion Said, if you feel like giving me A lifetime of devotion I second that emotion

Well, if you feel like giving me A lifetime of devotion ...
Eclipse De Mar Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute - Joaquín Sabina Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto; Guadalupe Pineda; Joaquín Sabina
Hoy dice el periodico que ha muerto una mujer que conocí que ha perdido en su campo el Atletic y que ha amanecido nevando en París que han pillado un alijo de coca que a pisis y acuario les toca el vinagre y la miel que apoyo el parlamento europeo una ley a favor de abolir el deseo que fallo la vacuna anti sida que un golpe de estado ha fallado en la luna y movidas asi Pero nada decia el diario de hoy de esa sucia pasion, de este lunes marrón del obseno sabor a cubata de ron de tu piel del olor a colonia barata del amanecer de este cuarto sin medias ni besos de este frio de agosto en los huesos como un bisturí
Hoy amor como siempre en el diario no hablaban de ti, ni de mi hoy amor igual que ayer como siempre en el diario no hablaban de ti en el diario no hablaban de ti en el diario no hablaban de ti, ni de mi
Hoy dijo la radio que han hallado muerto al niño que yo fuí que han pagado un pasote de pelas por una acuarela falsa de Dalí que han caido la bolsa en el cielo que siguen las putas en huelga de celo en Moscú que subio la marea que fusilan mañana a Jesus de Judea que crecio el ahujero de ozono que el padre de hoy es el padre del mono del año 2000
Trouble Is A Man Composer(s): Alec Wilder

Covered by multiple other artists
A woman gets all the blame For everything that happens under the sun But when it comes to being bad A woman's not the only one
Trouble is a man A man who loves me no more, no more Trouble is a man A man I'll always adore
Nothing good to say about him Still I hate a day without him Why should he have to be The one, my only
Trouble is a man A man who's handsome and tall, so tall Trouble is a man Who's for himself and that's all
After all we've done, he didn't mean it Now I understand, I should have seen it Trouble is a man Trouble is a man Trouble, trouble

Echoes Of Love Composer(s): Patrick simmons - Willie Mitchell - Earl Randle
First release by: The Doobie Brothers - 1977
I hear your voice everywhere It's echoes of love Making me look back over my shoulder Echoes of love are started all over
Echoes of love Keeps on haunting I'm out of control Keeps on burning Echoes of love are out of control Bringing back love I used to hold
Darlin', since you went away Think about you every day So many memories Got to get the best of me
Recalling the times I used to hold you I just wouldn't do What I was supposed to I've done things I'd like to undo Now darlin' it's you I'd like to run to
Echoes of love Keeps on haunting I'm out of control Keeps on burning Echoes of love are out of control Bringing back love I used to hold
Echoes of love Echoes of love Love, echoes of love Keeps on haunting Echoes of love, echoes of love Keeps on burning Echoes of love
I remember him, he was very young No one spoke like him, he was someone And I carried on, like I couldn't stop All of it for us baby
And you, you got in my way Stood between me and my friends It was my sin, it was my shame You were unconscious to the pain I was in
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Down to the sea Show me the way back, honey I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Show me the way back... to the sea
With honor be it spoken To understand this light that we carry And let it light your way Of course, you know, I generally take it Well I make accommodations for you And consider this You used to be my love I make excuses for you
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Down to the sea Show me the way back, honey I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Show me the way back... to the sea
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby I know you can, I've seen you do it And it brings up the wind And it rises around you in pillars of color
But the promise has been broken As you walk through the shadow of death You try to see no evil But you are heartbroken You say, dear God, make it stop!
Before the dawn of separation Brings up the wind Rises around you I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La Pillars of color Trouble in Shangri-La I make accommodations for you
I guess we don't believe That things could go that far We all believe in people... That we think believe in God Somewhere in the night... Someone feels the pain The ones who walk away Try to love again...
I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Down to the sea Show me the way back, honey I hear there's trouble in Shangri-La I run through the grass I run over the stones Show me the way back... to the sea
You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby Because you are so heartbroken You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby Before the dawn of separation You can consume all the beauty in the room, baby Show me the way back

The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little prayer for you While combing my hair, now And wondering what dress to wear, now I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever, forever, we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, together, that's how it must be To live without you Would only be heartbreak for me
I run for the bus, dear While riding I think of us, dear I say a little prayer for you At work, I just take time And all through my coffee break-time I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart And I will love you Forever, forever we never will part Oh, how I'll love you Together, together, that's how it must be To live without you Would only be heartbreak for me
I say a little prayer for you I say a little prayer for you

Echo Park Composer(s): Buzz Clifford
Performer(s): Keith Barbour
It's the morning soon he'll rise
Find the glasses for his eyes
Aren't what they used to be
Picks up the clothes he's worn so long
On the bureau sits the picture of a lady
And the mural of a man who's been gone for many years
The old man walks in Echo Park
From bench to bench he moves from morning `til dark
For the ducks some bread he brings
Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring
Listening to the children play
Reminds him of other days
Many years ago
Thoughts of a child that he helped grow
And the memory of a letter saying dear sir
We regret to inform you, your son will not be coming home
The old man walks in Echo Park
From bench to bench he moves from morning `til dark
For the ducks some bread he brings
Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring
Old man tell me are there fears
Do you measure life in years
Or is one day all you'll ever know
I've got to know
The old man walks in Echo Park
From bench to bench he moves from morning `til dark
For the ducks some bread he brings
Wonder if he'll feed them this time next spring
Have I been a good man
Have I tried to see the light
Wish I may, wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
Have I been a good man
Kay Composer(s): Hank Mills Performer(s): John Wesley Ryles
Kay, with all your singin' talent Back in Houston, Nashville's all you talked about I sold everything I owned to bring you here Now you'll be famous, there's no doubt
Last week you knocked 'em out in New York Tonight Chicago's goin' wild Kay, your new record on the jukebox don't sound bad Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin' Starin' out at Music City from my cab
Caution lights blink out their warning Some old faithful Big Ben clock chimes 3 a.m. Starvin' hound dogs search the trash cans My gas tank could stand a dollar's worth again
All those chuck holes here on main street Jar my rib cage, I could cuss Kay, the crowd of night life people look so sad Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin' Starin' out at Music City from my cab
Two young soldiers from Fort Campbell Told me how they hate that war in Vietnam Sirens echo through an alley And some woman said some fellah stabbed a man
I rushed Miss Teenage to the doctor She begged to give the child my name I've lost count of cups of coffee that I've had Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin' Starin' out at Music City from my cab
Three rose petals on my front seat Fallen from the bouquet Jimmy took to June Jim kept mumblin' through his teardrops God, she'll leave this world with flowers in her room
Kay, I showed some drunk your picture And he made some smart remark So I hit him in the mouth, boy was I mad Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin' Starin' out at Music City from my cab
Guitars, organs, horns, violins And pianos, how they play Grinding out the latest sounds From Music City, USA
Kay, although I know I've lost you To the swingin' music world I kiss pictures of those happy times we had Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin' Starin' out at Music City from my cab
Kay, I'm livin', yet I'm dyin' Starin' out at Music City from my cab
Echo Beach ((French Version: Egoïste (La Grande Sophie) - 2006)) Composer(s): Mark Gane First release by: Martha and the Muffins - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
I know it's out of fashion And a trifle uncool But I can't help it I'm a romantic fool It's a habit of mine To watch the sun go down On Echo Beach, I watch the sun go down
From nine 'til five I have to spend my time at work Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day
On a silent summer evening The sky's alive with light Building in the distance Surrealistic sight Waves make the only sound There's not a soul around From nine 'til five I have to spend my time at work The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk The only thing that helps me pass the time away Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day
I Saw The Light Composer(s): Todd Rundgren First release by: Todd Rundgren - 1972
It was late last night I was feeling something wasn't right There was not another soul in sight Only you, only you So we walked along, though I knew there was something wrong And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see 'Cause I saw the light in your eyes
Though we had our fling I just never would suspect a thing 'Til that little bell began to ring in my head In my head But I tried to run though I knew it wouldn't help me none 'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said But my feelings for you were just something I never knew 'Til I saw the light in your eyes
But I love you best It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha) 'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest In my eyes And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore Can't you see the light in my eyes
I Saw Stars Composer(s): Maurice Sigler; Al Goodhart; Al Hoffman Performer(s): Freddy Martin
Something strange happened to me Lost my heart so suddenly Suddenly I found myself in a dream One sweet kiss did it to me I got dizzy instantly But something stranger happened, strange as it seems
I saw stars I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet The moment I fell for you I saw stars I heard an angel say, "Wake up, wake up Your wonderful dream come true" A new born feeling had me reeling I said to myself, "Where am I?" It's all so hazy, may sound crazy There wasn't a star in the sky Still, I saw stars I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet
Never knew what love could do Never knew till I met you Now I thank my stars that you came along Your sweet smile opened my eyes Showed the way to paradise And now my heart is lighter, filled with a song
I saw stars I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet The moment I fell for you I saw stars I heard an angel say, "Wake up, wake up Your wonderful dream come true" A new born feeling had me reeling I said to myself, "Where am I?" It's all so hazy, may sound crazy There wasn't a star in the sky Still, I saw stars I heard a birdie sing so sweet, so sweet
