All To You Composer(s): Dave Moskin First performance by: The Rounder Girls - 2000
I never was the one to carry on But everything is different since you came along In the middle of something special, I never felt this way before Now I need a little time to understand a little more
I can't explain the way you made me feel (Made me feel) Or the moment that my heart began to reel (Reel) You took me in a new direction, you're showin' me a different way (Different way) Now I'm in a situation, I will be the one to say
Why don't you take me, my baby Hold me for all time and never leave me, believe me Let me be your one and only Love me like you do and let me give my lovin' all to you Oh yeah...
Now I know it's love, and that's a fact (That's a fact) No return, there is no goin' back (No, no, no, no) It might be the way you make me crazy, you always take my breath away And now there's only one thing, baby, that there's left for me to say
Why don't you take me, my baby Hold me for all time and never leave me, believe me I will always be by your side Always on my mind, my baby, take me
And everything I feel is from the bottom of my heart (Yeah...) I'll give you everything I have, I'll give you what you never had
Why don't you take me, my baby Hold me for all time and never leave me, believe me I will always be by your side Always on my mind, you take what's wrong and make it right
I really need you, to feel you Wrap me in your arms, surround me sweetly, completely Let me be your one and only Love me like you do, just let me give my lovin' all to you
Heartbreak In Silhouette Composer(s): Carey Fraley; Peggy Ann Manson; Allen McCoy Performer(s): Jim Reeves
I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met In memory I could see her, heartbreak in silhouette He said her hair was golden, her eyes were violet It surely had to be her, heartbreak in silhouette
He said that when he kissed her, her kisses were like wine And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette His heart would soon discover heartbreak in silhouette
With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in silhouette Outside the rain kept falling, recalling old regrets Then she stood in the doorway, heartbreak in silhouette
At first she didn't see us, because the lights were dim As she chatted with her new love, she had eyes for only him My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in silhouette Heartbreak in silhouette
Harmony Composer(s): Mark Spiro; Tony Marty; Jack White Performer(s): Anne Murray
I never thought we would end up together, my love I always thought I'd be lonely forever, my love Every song was just a melody Until you came singin' what you sang to me
Chorus: Harmony, two part love You and me just one on one Harmony, you do the sweetest things You took me up to heaven Now I can hear the angels sing
No way around it We had to be one of a kind My love Just look at the way that we shine My love We turned a love into a symphony I can hear it everytime that you look at me
Chorus
Sweet and tenderly Whispering in my ear Voices of love start talking to me When you're near And all I can hear Is your

Blue Spanish eyes, teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes Please, please don't cry, this is just "adios" and not "goodbye" Soon I'll return bringing you all the love your heart can hold Please say "Sí, sí", say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Blue Spanish eyes, prettiest eyes in all of Mexico True Spanish eyes, please smile for me once more before I go Soon I'll return bringing you all the love your heart can hold Please say "Sí, sí", say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me

Well since my baby left me Well I found a new place to dwell Well it's down at the end of Lonely Street That Heartbreak Hotel, where I'll be...
I'll be just so lonely baby Well I'm so lonely I'll be so lonely I could die
Although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom, and be so...
They'll be just so lonely baby They'll be just so lonely Well they're so lonely they could die
Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin' And the desk clerk's dressed in black Well they've been so long on Lonely Street They'll never, never look back, and they'll be...
They'll be just so lonely, baby Well they're so lonely Well they're so lonely they could die
Well now, if your baby leaves you You've got a tale to tell Well just take a walk down Lonely Street To Heartbreak Hotel, where you will be...
You'll be so lonely baby Well you'll be lonely You'll be so lonely you could die
Although it's always crowded You still can find some room For broken hearted lovers To cry there in the gloom, and be so...
They'll be just so lonely baby Well they're so lonely Well they're so lonely they could die
Harley Davidson Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; and various other artists
Je n'ai besoin de personne En Harley Davidson Je n'reconnais plus personne En Harley Davidson J'appuie sur le starter Et voici que je quitte la terre J'irai peut-être au Paradis Mais dans un train d'enfer
Je n'ai besoin de personne En Harley Davidson Je ne reconnais plus personne En Harley Davidson Et si je meurs demain C'est que tel était mon destin Je tiens bien moins à la vie Qu'à mon terrible engin
Je n'ai besoin de personne En Harley Davidson Je ne reconnais plus personne En Harley Davidson Quand je sens en chemin Les trépidations de ma machine Il me monte des désirs Dans le creux de mes reins
Je n'ai besoin de personne En Harley Davidson Je ne reconnais plus personne En Harley Davidson Je vais à plus de cent Et je me sens à feu et à sang Que m'importe de mourir Les cheveux dans le vent
Millennium Of Love Composer(s): Gerry Simpson - Raymond J. Smyth First performance by: Eamonn Toal - 2000
Nature's child lays beside a mother's broken heart We stand denied the power and glory Bitterness can't feed the hungry, hate just leaves us cold It's time to change it
I lit a candle in a dream I thought I heard Liberated voices crying freedom Open hearts, open doors in truth and honesty Let wisdom be the guiding light
Celebrate the new millennium of love Where our footprints leave a harvest for the children Somewhere on our journey lies a world beyond compare I believe we all have the answer
A cloud can hide a mountain And a face can hide the pain Search until you find the answer There is no reason Who can understand man's inhumanity to man?
Celebrate the new millennium of love Where our footprints leave a harvest for the children Somewhere on our journey lies a world beyond compare I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe in you
(Celebrate the new millennium of love) Let our footprints leave a harvest for the children Somewhere on our journey lies a world beyond compare I believe we all have the answer I believe we all have the answer
Heartbreak Hill Composer(s): Emmylou Harris; Paul Kennerley Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Albert Lee; Kate MacKenzie
Long long time ago when we were young You swore to me I would be the one I would be the one you loved But we had to part You asked me to wait for you To keep you in my heart To keep you in my heart
Night after lonely night I'm waiting for you still High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill
Now maybe I am the foolish kind to think of you so long Have you found another love Am I still the one Am I still the one for you But you're far away Do you ever dream of coming back to me someday Back to me someday
Night after lonely night I'm waiting for you still High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill
On Heartbreak Hill alone at night I think of how you held me tight And wonder if I ever will see you again On Heartbreak Hill
Oh Lord if I only could go back in time enough I'd hold you in my arms again Never let you go Never let you go my love And leave me far behind High upon this lonely hill were you swore to be mine You swore to be mine
Night after lonely night I'm waiting for you still High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill Night after lonely night I'm waiting for you still High above the lights of town here on Heartbreak Hill Here on Heartbreak Hill Here on Heartbreak Hill
Spanish Dancer Composer(s): Steve Winwood - Will Jennings Performer(s): Steve Winwood
I can feel the heat, no one has to tell me It's so good, once it starts I'll never let go I can feel the beat like a Spanish dancer Under my feet, making the world go 'round, I can't come down You can't hold me when I get to feeling this way It's all over, I'm inside that music that's playing It takes me out across the wall It makes my life a carnival I go out on the street and take my chances Don't even have to ask, I know the answers

Heartbeat Composer(s): J. Stevens Performer(s): Ruby Murray
Hear it, hear it, hear my heartbeat Pounding, pounding like a drum Louder, louder, goes my heartbeat As nearer, and nearer, and nearer you come So hurry, hurry, says my heartbeat Take me, touch me, make me thrill Faster, faster, goes my heartbeat I try but I cant keep it still
They say when a heart beats too wildly That it breaks like a toy balloon But darling, thats putting it mildly Compared to what will happen to me If something doesnt happen soon
Listen, listen, to my heartbeat Crying, sighing, breathlessly Tell it, tell it, tell my heartbeat That your heart beats for me
Listen, listen, to my heartbeat Crying, sighing, breathlessly Tell it, tell it, tell my heartbeat That your heart beats for me
Harlequin Composer(s): Garry Broker Performer(s): The Hollies
Harlequin has lost his crown Look they say "a broken clown" Yesterday he ruled the world Now he's crying to be heard Yesterday he called the tune Now he's howling at the moon Harlequin has broken down Harlequin, Harlequin has lost his crown
Harlequin has broken loose Slipped the knot and skipped the noose Can those bloodhounds find his trail? Will they send him back to jail? Can those bloodhounds find his scent? Will they find out where he went? Harlequin cannot be found Harlequin, Harlequin has gone to ground
Harlequin is back on top Now his fame will never stop See him shown from coast to coast He's the one they love the most See them slap him on the back How they love his every crack Harlequin we knew you'd do it Harlequin, Harlequin
Spanish Boots Composer(s): Jeff Beck - Rod Stewart - Ron Wood First release by: Jeff Beck - 1969
I used to work and take a salary In a hole up near a foundry But it did not take me too long To get my boots on a "So Long!" Long Spanish boots on a "So Long!"
I took a day job in Bethlehem I nearly threw in the towel then But it did not take me too long To get my boots on a "So Long!" High Spanish boots on a "So Long!" Dig it
I took a Spanish haberdashery Restored with 15th century tapestry But oh, Mr. Nesbitt got the best of me So I strapped on my boots and said "So Long!" Laced up my high boots and "So Long!" Goodbye
... am on a job you see 'Cause my old boots they mean too much to me Leather boots are just a mystery Put on my boots and said "So Long!" High Spanish boots on and "So Long!" Put on my boots and said "So Long!"
Those old Spanish boots Put on my boots and said "So Long!" High spanish boots
Heartbeat Composer(s): Bobby Montgomery; Norman Petty Performer(s): Buddy Holly
Heartbeat why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat why does a love kiss stay in my memory? Pitity-pat, I know that new love thrills me I know that true love will be
Heartbeat why do you miss when my baby kisses me?
Heartbeat why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine? Heartbeat why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign? Pitity-pat, and sing to me love stories And bring to me love's glory

Laggiù nell'harlem di Spagna C'è una rosa molto rara E un fiore strano assai Il sol non vede mai Fiorisce solo se la luna corre in ciel ed ogni stella brilla E cresce nella via ma dolcissima Delicata nel chiaro Di luna
Laggiù nell'Harlem di Spagna C'è una rosa molto rara Son neri gli occhi suoi Che ruban l'anima E san bruciare con il fuoco dell'amor chi osi darle Un becio Nessun la puo comprar Per vedela sbocciar Nel suo Giardino
La, la, la...
Stasera l'Harlem di Spagna Ha una rosa innamorata Ho ritrovato in te Un sogno splendido E la mia bocca stà narrandoti tesor la vera storia mia Stanotte sol per te Quel fior sboccierà E di te sarà la luna
A Little Bit Composer(s): Luca Genta - Gerrit aan 't Goor First performance by: Nina Åström - 2000
I'm in love with the place where I was born Where I lived my life in harmony with every new dawn I'm in love with the people that I know With whom I share my tears of laughter, the times I feel low
It's a little bit of love, it's a little love I need To keep me going, keep me smiling It's love that makes me breathe It may be Finland, France or Spain Berlin, Prague or Rome It's the place where you live Where your heart feels at home
There's a world that is bigger than my own Where they strive to try and unify, to dull monotone Every change that really matters comes from within When in love we stand together through thick and thin
It's a little bit of love, it's a little love we need To keep us going, keep us smiling It's love that makes us breathe It may be Amsterdam or Bern Sweden or U.K. Where your heart is at home You will feel okay
(It's a little bit of love), it's a little love we need To keep us going, keep us smiling It's love that makes us breathe It's a little bit of love, it's a little love we need To keep us going, keep us smiling It is love that makes us breathe
To keep us going, keep us smiling It is love that makes us breathe

That's just God when he's drunk Well, this stuff'll probably kill you lets do another line What you say you meet me down at heartattack and vine See that little jersey girl in the see-through top, With the pedal pushers, suckin' on a soda pop Well I'll bet that she's still a virgin But it's only twenty-five to nine You can see a million of 'em on heartattack and vine Better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs Then crawlin' down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs You'll find your ignorance is blissful ev'ry goddamn time You're waiting for the RTD on heartattack and vine Boney's high on china white Shorty found a punk Don't you know there ain't no devil? That's just God when he's drunk Well, this stuff'll probably kill you lets do another line What you say you meet me down at heartattack and vine
