Happy You Composer(s): Aivaras Stepukonis First performance by: Aivaras Stepukonis - 2002
Wanna show to you alone The world around us, high and low Glowing stars and dancing moon Happy I 'cause happy you
Close your eyes and make a wish Could it be a scorching kiss? You're my sweetest mountain dew, (baby) Happy I 'cause happy you For our dreams come true, they always do
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
Love brings passion, love brings joy Love brings riches we enjoy All is wonder, all is new, (baby) Happy I 'cause happy you For our dreams come true, they always do
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
(Watching the sunrise) Babe, it looks great (Singing a love song) Babe, it sounds great
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
Spirit In The Night Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
In the summer that I was baptized My father held me to his side As they put me to the water He said how on that day I cried We were prisoners of love, a love in chains He was standin' in the door, I was standin' in the rain With the same hot blood burning in our veins Adam raised a Cain
All of the old faces Ask you why you're back They fit you with position And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac In the darkness of your room Your mother calls you by your true name You remember the faces, the places, the names You know it's never over, it's relentless as the rain Adam raised a Cain
In the Bible Cain slew Abel And east of Eden he was cast You're born into this life paying For the sins of somebody else's past Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames Adam raised a Cain Lost but not forgotten From the dark heart of a dream Adam raised a Cain
He Stopped Loving Her Today Composer(s): Bob Braddock; Claude Putman, Jr. Performer(s): George Jones
He said "I'll love you till I die"
she told him "You'll forget in time" As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two He had underlined in red every single "I love you"
I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time. Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would And it kept runnin' through my mind "this time he's over her for good"
He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today
I Wanna Composer(s): Marija Naumova - Marats Samauskis First performance by: Marie N - 2002
I'd like to go away, but it's easier to say That you know all the tricks that make... that make me stay I'm ready to support this artful game you always play 'Cause you don't know the fee that you will later, later pay
Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
Ay ay ay ay ay ay...
I like a simple game, but it's just easier to say That you own all that rules your crazy, crazy way And even though you'll go on doing whatever... whatever you may Just remember - it's me who find you when... when you was stray
Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
Spiral Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue Lined with poppy girls I didn't stop, stop to say hello Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac Looked me over Thought it best, best that I should go Don't wake me: I'm falling Slow spiral into morning Who's out there? Can't hear you Ears covered - early warning Alarm bells ringing Time to make my peace with the dreary day
I waited atbles - I was tipped in roubles Wine to water Was the best that I could do Wild office parties split the silence Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two
Down the spiral, spinning madly Gathering momentum On a disneyesque adventure ride I fly in colours from richer palettes Famous artists running scared as worlds collide
Hello, I Love You Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She's walking down the street Blind to every eye she meets Do you think you'll be the guy To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high Like a statue in the sky Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet Like a dog that begs for something sweet Do you hope to make her see, you fool? Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I want you Hello I need my baby Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High
One thing have I desired, O Lord That I may dwell in Your house forever That I may always see Your beauty And know the fullness of Your power
Tell Me Why Composer(s): Ionel Tudor - Mirela Voiculescu Fugaru First performance by: Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel - 2002
We are behaving like two strangers in the gloomy night We have lost so many feelings in this endless fight If you want to go away, now I must obey But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart
Tell me why we have to say goodbye Was our love only a foolish lie? Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry No more tears, no more fears Nothing more to share together
If you want to go away, now I must obey But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart
Tell me why we have to say goodbye Why we broke our wings in flight Tell me why couldn't we just try To forgive and believe we can reach the sky
Tell me why we have to say goodbye Was our love only a foolish lie? Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry No more tears, no more fears Nothing more to share together

Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Al Alberts - Marty Gold
First release by: The Four Aces - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
Tell me why, though I try to forget
Tell me why, why I think of you yet
I know I'll never be free
What has happened to me
Tell me why, when we danced until three
Tell me why, why my heart couldn't see
I never dreamed of romance
Never gave it a chance
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
Tell me, tell me, why

Would you like some of my tangerine? I know I'll never treat you mean Always longed to say I love you Always been too high above you Now I'm not so far away Now at last I can say Hello hello Hello Hello
He Must Have Been Eighteen

I think he must have been eighteen He was as fragile as a dream Strong as a man Seeing the summer in his eyes I felt my autumn as it flies Like grains of sand
I added make-up to my face As if to cover some disgrace I saw him smiling Rainbows and colours of the spring I would have given anything To win his loving
I think he must have been eighteen A movie star on any screen It made him careless He never said a word of love He thought that speaking about love Was only worthless
And then as if the line were new He simply whispered, "I want you Let's stay together" We drifted slowly through the night I never knew a love more right Not since, not ever
I think he must have been eighteen It made him vain and almost mean His looks abusing Without a word he slowly dressed Leaving me to my loneliness My share of losing
I could have tried to make him mine I let him go without a sign My face was lying He said, I am not the kind to fall Love is for grown-ups after all I felt like crying
I added make-up to my face As if to cover some disgrace I saw him smiling I had forgotten in a dream That I was almost twice eighteen

What goes up must come down (cowbell enters) Spinning wheel got to go 'round (full drum kit enters) Talking 'bout your troubles it's a crying sin Ride a painted pony let the Spinning wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home Spinning wheel all alone Talking 'bout your troubles and you never learn Ride a painted pony let the Spinning wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the Straight and narrow highway Would you mind a reflecting sign Just let it shine within your mind And show you the colours that are real
Someone is waiting just for you Spinning wheel, Spinning true Drop all your troubles by the riverside (1: Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride) (2: Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly)
