Hello It's Me Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): Todd Rundgren
Hello, it's me I've thought about us for a long, long time Maybe I think too much but something's wrong There's something here that doesn't last too long Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you Or seeing anything as much as I do you I take for granted that you're always there I take for granted that you just don't care Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me that you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should
Hay Momentos De Amor Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): Raphael
Hay momentos felices que suelen pasar Hay momentos amargos que suelen quedar Dentro del corazón, presos en un rincón o en una lágrima Hay momentos de amor que son palomas Hay momentos de amor que se demoran Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren llegar Y se quedan rondando la puerta Hay momentos de amor bajo la luna Hay momentos de amor llenos de dudas Y hay momentos de amor que no saben volar Y se quedan rondando la puerta Y se muere el sol Hay miradas tan dulces que suelen pasar Hay miradas de llanto que suelen quedar Llenas de soledad, presas en un adiós o en una lágrima Hay momentos de amor llenos de vida Hay momentos de amor que te lastiman Y hay momentos de amor que nos hacen temblar Y que son la razón de la vida Hay momentos de amor en el silencio Hay momentos de amor que lleva el viento Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren volar Y se quedan temblando de miedo
Addicted To You Composer(s): Maki Kolehmainen - Janina Frostell - Tracy Lipp First performance by: Laura - 2002
You don't know how I was then All broken up, my pride was stolen I lived a little lie, I wouldn't show the hurting inside
I was livin' in emptiness, I was out of love Guard my heart, my wall was so high You came in with all your confidence You swept me away off the ground, you taught me to fly
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Addicted to you, addicted to you So addicted to you, I'm so addicted to you, oh...
Why couldn't this be simple? We'd live just like the other people Now that you're far away, my missing is a constant heartache
'Cause those sparkles back in my eyes I wish I could stay just like this, don't want you to go When you're far away, fantasize That you're in my arms and I jump when I hear the phone
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Addiction - it's hitting hard Now it's got its hold Oh... I can't let go
(Holding on until the next time,) I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you
Hello In There Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine; and various other artists
We had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta liked living there And it'd been years since the kids had grown A life of their own, left us alone
John and Linda live in Omaha And Joe is somewhere on the road And we lost Davy in the Korean War And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore
You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers get wilder every day Old people just get lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more She sits and stares through the back door screen And all the news just repeats itself Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen
Some day I'll go and call up Rudy We worked together at the factory But what'll I say when he asks, "What's new?" "Nothin' What's with you?" Nothin' much to do
You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers get wilder every day Old people just get lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"
So if you're walkin' down the street some day And spot some hollow, ancient eyes Please don't just pass 'em by and stare As if you didn't care, say "Hello in there, Hello"
Spiders & Snakes Composer(s): Jim Stafford - David Bellamy First release by: Jim Stafford Covered by multiple other artists
I remember when Mary Lou said she wanted to walk me home from school Well I said yes I do She said I don't have to go right home And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would I said me too And so we took a stroll and wound up down by the swimming hole And she said do what you want to do Got silly and found a frog in the water by the hollow log And I shook it at her and I said this frog's for you, she said
I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you
Well I took out that girl from time to time, I called her up when I got a dime I said hello baby, she said ain't you cool Said do you remember when, and would you like to get together again She said I'll see you after school I was so shy and so for awhile most of my love was touch and smile So she said come on over here, I was nervous I guess Still looking for something to slip down her dress And she said let's make it perfectly clear
I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you
Hawk-Eye Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(Hawkeye)
They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye All the fellows call me Hawkeye 'cause I never miss a trick I can spot a pretty chick a mile away One look and I can tell just how her lips are gonna taste I know within a fraction what she measures in the waist I know what's goin' on behind that twinkle in her eye And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
I keep my eyes wide open And my gas pony buggy to ride And nearly every evenin' There's a pretty kitten sittin' by my side
They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye It's the hawk that gets the highest flyin' chicken every time Even though a wolf has chased her up a tree But I can spot a doll and have her cuddled in my arms Before the average wolf begins to howl about her charms I got her kiss before he even has a chance to try And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye

Never Let It Go Composer(s): Marcos Ubeda First performance by: Afro-dite - 2002
(Don't ever stop) All right, girls (Are you shakin'?) Here we go
Surrounded by sharp lookin' eyes, dancin' in a fever Forgettin' all the words of advise, movin' in and closer What a life we have, what a life we live And it's smiling right at us What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin'
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now
Blinded by the scent of your love, sailing on this feeling And my mind is high up above, I don't know if I'm dreaming What a life we have, what a life we live And it's smiling right at us What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin' (We'll be shakin')
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight (We will reach the top) Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin'
What a life we have, what a life we live What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin' (Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin')
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin' (Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin')

Hawaiian Sunset Composer(s): Sid Tepper; Roy Bennett Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Hawaiian sunset peeping from the sea Smiles and says Aloha to his sweetheart Hawaii The drowsy islands slumber one by one Close their sleepy eyelids say goodnight to the sun
Then Hawaii like millions of times before Blossoms in her lover's arms once more Too soon the sunrise will wake her from her sleep So until tomorrow, sleep Hawaii sleep

Hawaiian Butterfly Composer(s): Geo. A. Little; Billy Baskette; Joseph Santly
Somewhere in Hawaii, I'm sending a wire To someone waiting there for me Among the flowers She counts the hours She simply carried my heart away And I say in dreams every day
She answered the wire I sent to Hawaii With simple words, like, "I love you" And since she told me, I can see plainly Soon I'll be telling you all goodbye I must go, for I love her so
Beautiful Hulu Down in dreamy Honolulu, I am feeling so peculiar Since I first met you In a moonlit garden fair, Cupid, he is warden there Just like the flowers you're true Waiting and dreaming in a garden of roses Sometime in the bright Hawaian sunshine Dear, I'm going to make you all mine And that is just why Songbirds sing in tune to these words When I come back some day we'll fly away, Hawaian Butterfly
Spell Composer(s): Ted Mills Performer(s): Blue Magic
Trouble sleeping (Trouble) Dreaming of you Trouble speaking (Trouble) Thinking of you
Something strange has happened I just cant get myself together No kind of way For you
(Must have put a spell on my mind) You must have put a spell on my mind And turned me around
Trouble seeing (Trouble) Visions of you Trouble thinking (Trouble) Control my will too
Take a bow if you want to I still cant get myself together No kind of way For you
(Must have put a spell on my mind) (Spell) (Must have put a spell on my mind)
You made a new man of me Now I feel heavenly For you
(Must have put a spell on my mind) Must have put a spell on my mind (Im under your power, baby) (Must have put a spell on my mind) (Oh, spell) Must have put a spell on my mind (Im under your power, baby) (Must have put a spell on my mind) (Oh, spell) Must have put a spell on my mind (Im under your power, baby) (Must have put a spell on my mind) (Oh, spell) Must have put a spell on my mind
You see, I have you everything I had But you just pushed me away I tried so hard to break loose But you gained control every day (Spell on my mind) I watched you take my whole world from me And there was nothing I could do A secret word, a hidden touch, and I belong to you Spell
Must have put a spell on my mind (Im under your power, baby) (Must have put a spell on my mind) (Oh, spell) (Im under your power, baby) (Must have put a spell on my mind) (Oh...spell) (Must have put a spell on my mind) (Im under your power, baby)
