If You Look In Her Eyes
Composer(s): Otto Harbach; Louis A. Hirsch



A maiden's lips no longer express things that she'd have you know
She says "no," but means to say "yes" 
When you're to stay says, "Go!" 
But Mother Nature's worked out a plan
Easy for him who tries
If a girl is fooling a man
He need but watch her eyes

Language is the art to conceal 
Feelings and thoughts, we're told
Speech is silver, poets reveal
Silence they say is gold
What they mean is easily shown
Listen and you'll be wise
Close a girl's lips tight with your own
then she just can't tell lies

She'll tell you what you're to do, dear
If you'll look in her eyes
What is expected of you, dear
You will have to surmise
She may not say one word yet 
Some how you'll get a sort of knowing look
Sort of glowing look
She'll tell you what you're to do, dear
If you'll look in her eyes

If You Live

If you live your time will come
I say if you live your time will come
So child don't mess with that cotton sack
It will scratch your knees and bend your back
And if you live your time will come 

If you live your day will come
If you live your day will come
So child don't play with those pots and pans
They will soon enough ruin your pretty hands
And if you live your time will come 

If you live a day will come
If you live a day will come
When the sun will shine
And the crops will grow
And you think you're not gonna worry no more
But if you live, your time will come

Ella Es Como El Agua
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Ella es como el agua
se desliza entre los dedos
Ella es como el agua
escapa a un puño cerrado

Arena en mis zapatos
sigo tus huellas en silencio
Arena en mis dos ojos
rompen mis sueños tranquilos
Carreteras estrechas
nada me impide que estés a mi lado
porque cierro los ojos
y veo paisajes y un mar transparente

Juego con tu pelo
la pesadumbre tiene el color de tus cejas
Y te veo desnuda y limpia
cuando ahuyentas mis sombras

Ella es de sonidos
no dejes de hablarme en silencio
porque tus palabras
perfuman la noche y abren mis sentidos

Ella es como el aire
que abrió cuatro puertas cerradas
que yo pasé como un niño
perdido que encuentra a su madre

Carreteras estrechas
nada me impide que estés a mi lado
porque cierro los ojos
y veo paisajes y un mar transparentes

Juego con tu pelo
la pesadumbre tiene el color de tus cejas
Y te veo desnuda y limpia
cuando ahuyentas mis sombras

Ella es como el agua
Ella es de sonido
Ella es como el agua
Ella es como el aire

If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry
Composer(s): Harold Mooney; Gerald Sanford
Performer(s): Jerry Wallace; Loretta Lynn



(If you leave, take my heart, take my heart)
If you leave me tonight I will cry
Though you say we will soon meet again
For the hours I've spent here with you
Are like words from a poet's pen
Words like love, and truth, and goodness
Words like till death us do part
I will never love another
Take my heart, take my heart, take my heart
(Take my heart)

Yes, the hours I've spent here with you
Are like words from a poet's pen
Words like love, and truth, and goodness
Words like till death us do part
I will never love another
Take my heart, take my heart, take my heart
Take my heart, take my heart, take my heart
Take my heart (take my heart)

Ella
Composer(s): L. Flavio
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo, yo no puedo olvidarla
Ella, ella ya me olvido
Y yo la recuerdo ahora
Era como la primavera
Su anochecido pelo
Su voz dormida un beso
Y junto al mar la fiebre
Que me llevo a su entraña
Y soñamos con hijos
Que nos robo la carma

Ella, ella ya me olvido
Yo, yo no puedo olvidarla
No, que no puedo olvidarla

Ella, ella ya se olvido
De aquellas caminatas
Junto a la cosatnera
Y al chico que miraba

Ella, ella ya me olvido
Y yo, yo no puedo olvidarla
Que no, que no puedo olvidarla

Ella, ella ya me olvido
Y yo, yo la recuerdo ahora
Como no recordarla
Si en cada primavera
Me llega con la brisa
Que la lleva la arena

A mi ella, ella ya me olvido
Yo, yo no puedo olvidarla
No, yo no puedo olvidarla
No, que no puedo olvidarla

If You Leave Me Now 
Composer(s): Peter Cetera
First release by: Chicago - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists



If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
No baby please don't go
If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
No baby please don't go

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes we'll both regret
Things we said today

'Cause I need you more than you'll ever know

Ella
Composer(s): Luis Fierro
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Ella se marcho, con otro hombre
y su huella, dejo en mi piel
martirizándome
Tuve a otra mujer, para olvidarla
pero aún sigo, en mi habitación
emborrachándome
Ella, me falta ella
si ella, perderé la razón
Ella, me acuerdo de ella
que cruel, a veces es el amor
Ella me dejo, por otro hombre
y entre trago y trago sueño
que está esperándome
Pensará que ya, la abre olvidado
pero ignora, que su ausencia
está matándome
Ella, me falta ella
si ella, perderé la razón
Ella, me acuerdo de ella
que cruel, a veces es el amor
Ella, me falta ella
si ella, perderé la razón
Ella, me acuerdo de ella
que cruel, a veces es el amor
Ella... Sin ella
Ella

If You Leave
Composer(s): Martin Handsley Cooper; Paul David Humphreys; Andy McCluskey
First release: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways

We've always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've got to--we've gotta make it last

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way

Seven years went under the bridge
Like time standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've got to--you've gotta say you will

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

If you leave
Oh if you leave
Oh if you leave
Don't look back
Don't look back

Ella
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez



Me cansé de rogarle
me cansé de decirle
que yo sin ella
de pena muero

Ya no quiso escucharme
si sus labios se abrieron
fue pa'decirme
"ya no te quiero"

Yo sentí que mi vida
se perdía en un abismo
profundo y negro
como mi suerte

Quise hallar el olvido
al estilo Jalisco
pero aquellos mariachis
y aquel tequila
me hicieron llorar

Me cansé de rogarle
con el llanto en los ojos
alcé mi copa
y brindé por ella

No podía despreciarme
era el último brindis
de un bohemio
con una reina

Los mariachis callaron
de mi mano sin fuerza cayó mi copa
sin darme cuenta

Ella quiso quedarse
cuando vio mi tristeza
pero ya estaba escribo
que aquella noche
muriera su amor

If You Know What I Mean
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
and multiple other artists



When the night returns just like a friend
When the evening comes to set me free
When the quiet house that wait beyond the day
Make peaceful sounds in me

Took a drag from my last cigarette
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
I closed my eyes, and I could make it real
And feel it one more time

Can you hear it, babe
Can you hear it, babe
From another time
From another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean

Here's to the songs we used to sing
And here's to the times we used to know
It's hard to hold them in our arms again
But hard to let them go

Do you hear it, babe
Do you hear it, babe
It was another time
It was another place
Do you remember it, babe

And the radio played like a carnival tune
As we lay in our bed in the other room
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade, if you know what I mean!

If You Knew Susie (Like I Know Susie)
Composer(s): Buddy G. DeSylva; Joseph Meyer
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists



I have got a sweetie known as Susie
In the words of Shakespeare she's a "wow"
Though all of you may know her, too
I'd like to shout right now

Suzie has a perfect reputation
No one ever saw her on a spree
Nobody knows where Susie goes
Nobody knows but me

If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl
There's none so classy
As this fair lassie
Oh! Oh! Holy Moses, what a chassis
We went riding, she didn't balk
Back from Yonkers
I'm the one that had to walk
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! What a girl!

If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl
She wears long tresses
And nice tight dresses
Oh! Oh!
What a future she possesses
Out in public
How she can yawn
In a parlour, you would think the war was on
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! What a girl!

If You Keep On
Composer(s): Goddard; Kevin Rowland
Performer(s): Adam Ant



I'll take it round
Round by round
And I will pay if you don't mind
So just say hello
Or even stare
But don't talk about me
When I'm standing there

So you run your life
And I'll run mine
Don't ask how I am
You're no friend of mine
I've made my own bed
It suits me fine
I don't know your name
But you sure know mine

I'm not hard to get on with
You'd try the patience
Of a saint

If you keep on talking to me
With all of your crude advice
I'll talk to you my friend
And it won't be nice
If you keep on doing what you're doing
I'm gonna vexed with you
If you keep on doing what you're doing
You're gonna be next

I'll take it round
Round by round
Don't want to hear bells when I hit the ground
After awhile you get used to pain
If you knock me down
I'll just get up again
Now these things I say
Sound hard for you
Well that's just because
You've got no point of view
Some people talk and never do
And that's the big difference
Between me and you

If you keep doing what you're doing......

Elijo La Locura
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Hay quien mantiene la convicción
de que la vida
es la partida
entre el azar y la comunión
con el destino
entre la ley y la invocación
del destino

Quien mira no ve ni una mitad
es evidente
que es diferente
Entre mirar con la claridad
de la cordura
y ver con la luminosidad
de la locura

Ante esa coyuntura
de la claridad y lucidez
con sensatez
elijo la locura, aleluya
elijo la locura...

Ante el intento de construir
la convivencia
en la apariencia
opongo el reto de destruir
toda la historia
las estrategias, el porvenir
y la memoria

No sólo no me quiero atener
a ser comparsa
de esta otra farsa
sino, además, rechazo el deber
del raciocinio
esa otra trampa que usa el Poder
para el dominio

Ante esa coyuntura
de la claridad y lucidez
con sensatez
elijo la locura, aleluya
elijo la locura...

If You Hadn’t Asked Me To Dance
Composer(s): Art Strauss; Sonny Miller
Performer(s): Chick Henderson



If you hadn’t asked me to dance
Would my heart be broken tonight
I’m sorry you held me so close in your arms
I’m lonely for only the thrill of your charms
You made me believe in romance
But you never gave it a chance
And if you hadn’t spoken
Would my heart be broken
If you hadn’t asked me to dance

Eleven Roses

Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
and multiple other artists



I guess you noticed there is only eleven roses
I chose them from our garden where they grew
Take the roses and look into the mirror
And the twelfth rose will be looking back at you
There's just something about a spray of roses
To a woman they say more than man can say
After what I've done you may not keep the roses
But I just thought I would sent them anyway

There's just something...
After what I've done...

Listen to me, baby
There's something you must see
I want to be with you, gal
If you want to be with me

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain't that I'm questionin' you
To take part in any quiz
It's just that I ain't got no watch
An' you keep askin' me what time it is

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I am just a poor boy, baby
Lookin' to connect
But I certainly don't want you thinkin'
That I ain't got any respect

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

You know I'd have nightmares
And a guilty conscience, too
If I kept you from anything
That you really wanted to do

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

It ain't that I'm wantin'
Anything you never gave before
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon
It'll be too dark for you to find the door

But if you got to go
It's all right
But if you got to go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night

I work in the store on the edge of town
The daily shoppers going up and down
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Buzzin' all day, buzzin' all night
Floors to the left and floors to the right
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Goin' up madam, going down sir
Goin' up sonny, or your little girl
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

First floor ties, second floor socks
Third floor dresses, how my head it rocks
Elevator rock, elevator roll
Elevator rock, elevator roll

Buzzin' all day, buzzin' all night
Floors to the left and floors to the right
You can keep "see you later alligator"
I got my elevator
Elevator rock, elevator roll
