I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can Composer(s): Bob McDill Performer(s): Juice Newton
He said, Ive seen you before As the band broke into Misty I put one hand on the bar The whole room by then Was starting to spin
I said, youve got Hemingways eyes And that night I called him papa It seems that there are so many lovers Who hold you and yet Whose name you forget
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
Maybe were just shooting stars Needing something to hold on to But each thing we touch seems to vanish Like candles and friends They burn at both ends
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
He said Ill see you around And as I brushed my hair I winked and said, you might Cause I know by now how its done After all the mornings after And all the nights
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
Eu E Tu Composer(s): Gereba - Tuzé de Abreu
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Faz muito tempo que o nosso amor começou Daí pra cá cada vez mais ele aumentou E nunca mais a gente esteve separado E nunca mais a gente se sentiu só
Nunca mais tive que queixar da solidão Nunca mais tive medo da escuridão Porque eu tendo você a meu lado Me sentia muito forte Como lá no meu sertão
E foi assim que o sucesso lhe levou Você saiu dizendo que vinha me buscar Você esteve na tv e eu não lhe vi Será, meu Deus, que eu não lhe vejo mais aqui
Ouvindo o rádio de manhãzinha Pela janela da cozinha da vizinha A sua voz cantando o beija-flor Abri a porta da gaiola E o canário avoou
Oh oh oh Meu canarinho que beleza que avoou Oh meu amor

Être ((Italian Version: Essere (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Être, renaître ma naissance Dans une aube de craie Sous la lune de sang Aux termes d'un hiver mourant Être, émerger du silence Voir briller au soleil Les givres de mon cur Présage d'un printemps meilleur Être le fruit et la semence Dans un sol épuisé Et fleurir en exil Comme un arbre éclaté d'avril Être, apprendre à me connaître Garder les yeux ouverts Et n'être rien qu'un être De chair
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Et au-delà peut-être Être l'âme séparée du corps Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Même au-delà encore
Être la voix de mes naufrages Le verbe retrouvé Lavé de tout défaut Êpousant le chemin des mots Être, échapper au chantage De tous les lieux communs Êteindre mes volcans Dompter et chevaucher mon temps Être le geste qui engage L'avenir repensé Artisan du retour Au simple rituel d'amour Être, mourir pour mieux renaître Des mensonges d'antan Et n'être rien qu'un être Vivant
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Et au-delà peut-être Être l'âme séparée du corps Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Même au-delà encore

Ethel Levey's Virginia Song (aka "Virginia" and "I Was Born In Virginia")
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Ethel Levey
I was born in a Southern state Where all nature's sublime In a city where the gals are pretty And the sun shines nearly all the time Hospitality there you'll find Bright smiles ev'rywhere When I look 'roun' and see some other town I'm mighty glad I come from there
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town
Something nice about Southerners You don't find ev'rywhere Never con yer, but they smile upon yer And they make you happy while you're there Old Kentucky and Tennessee They can certainly go some Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied To settle in the state I'm from
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town

I'm Coming Home Again Composer(s): Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Dusty Springfield and multiple other artists
I'm not as crazy as I used to be Some of my devils upped and left me free To find a quiet space I'm not as out of place
I'm not as lonely as I was before I don't go in 'less there's an open door to leave by I'm starting to believe my own existence has a right to be
And I'm comin' home again It's been too long a time Gettin' back what's mine And I can't remember why I went away But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
The poets cried for dreams they never saw The only certainty is nothin's sure And most things stay the same Or go back where they came
And though my answers still are undefined By takin' chances I can start to find some reasons Somethin' to believe in I can make it through I can make it through
And I'm comin' home again It's been too long a time Gettin' back what's mine And I can't remember why I went away But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
Oh, and I'm comin' home again It's been too long a time Gettin' back what's mine And I can't remember why I went away But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay

I'll be loving you eternally With a love that's true, eternally From the start, within my heart It seems I've always known The sun would shine When you were mine And mine alone I'll be loving you eternally There'll be no one new, my dear, for me Though the sky should fall Remember I shall always be Forever true and loving you Eternally

Eternal Love Composer(s): Paul Jabara - Jay Asher

Something's wrong I don't understand The way I feel I don't know where I am
There's some mistake What am I doing here Away from you Where I belong
It isn't fair She's keeping us apart And in return I'm left with just my broken heart
I close my eyes I feel you close to me Back in your arms Where I belong
Eternal Love that's all that I have to give It's only for you and me You're all that I've got
Just say you love me And that no one else Can ever make you feel the same
Something's wrong I don't understand I've never felt this way For any other man
My only dream My one reality My pledge to you Eternal Love
All that I give you is All that I have Oh baby take me in your arms
Just say you love me And that no one else Can ever make you feel the same
No one loves you like I love you No one loves you like I do It's just not fair You can't keep me away Cause I won't give up I've got to get you back today
My only dream My one reality My pledge to you Eternal Love

Éteins La Lumière ((English & Spanish Versions: Let's Turn Out The Lights (Charles Aznavour); Apaga La Luz (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Éteins la lumière Viens contre mon coeur Que mes bras te serrent Prennent ta tiédeur Que la nuit entière Nous comble de joie Éteins la lumière Rampe contre moi
Éteins la lumière Tire les rideaux Coule sur la terre Faible de ma peau Deviens la rivière La source d'amour Qui me désaltère Jusqu'au petit jour A l'heure où tout sombre Et devient murmure A l'heure où les ombres Se collent au mur Dans la chambre sombre Mordons dans le fruit De ses joies sans nombres Qui vivent la nuit
Éteins la lumière Love-toi sur moi Que l'amour éclaire Nos tendres ébats Et nous pourrons faire Détachés du temps Le doux inventaire De nos sentiments
Éteins la lumière Dans l'obscurité Mes mains qui te serrent Vont remodeler Ton front, tes paupières Tes lèvres et ton cou Éteins la lumière La nuit est à nous
Éteins la lumière Couvre nos folies D'un peu de mystère D'un peu de magie Laisse tes chimères Sombrer tendrement Dans l'aimable guerre Que font les amants
A l'heure où les choses Semblent délaissées A l'heure où la rose Attend la rosée Le bonheur propose Ses rêves pour deux Et l'amour s'impose Pour les amoureux
Éteins la lumière Pour dans la grandeur Extraordinaire De notre bonheur N'être que matière N'être que pensée Éteins la lumière Viens on va s'aimer
