Daylight, alright I don't know, I don't know if it's real Been a long night and something ain't right You won't show, you won't show how you feel

Daylight turns into night We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight It's always the same and you know who's to blame You know what I'm sayin', still we keep on playin'
Head games, that's all I get from you Head games, and I can't take it anymore Head games, don't wanna play the... Head games
So near, so far away We pass each other by 'cause we don't know what to say It's so clear, I'm sorry to say But if you wanna win you gotta learn how to play
Head games, always you and me, baby Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore Head games, instead of makin' love Head games, ooh
Head games, always you and me, baby Head games, 'till I can't take it anymore, no more Head games, instead of makin' love, we play Head games
Head games, in the first degree Head games, yeah, always you and me Head games, why do you do it baby? Head games

I feel you're moving on a different cause Makin' a way for a distant course You say you love me and you roll your eyes Turn to stare at the empty skies

He (She) Thinks I Still Care Composer(s): Steve Duffy; Dickey Lee Lipscomb Performer(s): Pattty Loveless; and various other artists
Just because I ask a friend about him Just because I spoke his name somewhere Just because I rang his number by mistake He thinks I still care
Just because I hog the same old places With the memory of him lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be He thinks I still care
But if he's happy thinkin' I still need him Then let that silly notion bring him cheer But how could he ever be so foolish Oh where did he get such an idea
Just because I ask a friend about him Just because I spoke his name somewhere Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces He thinks I still care He thinks I still care
Spirits In The Material World (Spanish Version: Alma En El Mundo Material - 1998) Composer(s): Sting First release by: The Police - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists
There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak With words they try to jail you They subjugate the meek But it's the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie? Living from day to day If it's something we can't buy There must be another way
He Will Break Your Heart Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; Calvin Carter; Jerry Butler Performer(s): Jerry Butler; and various other artists
He don't love you like I love you If he did, he wouldn't break your heart He don't love you like I love you He's try-in' to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin') For the new love that you've found The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause
He don't love you like I love you If he did, he wouldn't break your heart He don't love you like I love you He's try-in' to tear us apart
He uses all the great quotations Says the things I wish I could say Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals Girl, to him it's just another play but wait
When the final act is over And you're left standing all alone When he takes his bow and makes his exit Girl, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you If he did, he wouldn't break your heart Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you He's try-in' to tear us apart

Spirits (Having Flown) Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
I never fell in love so easily Where the four winds blow I carry on I'd like to take you where my spirit flys Through the empty skys We go alone never before having flown Faster than light'ning is this heart of mine In the face of time I carry on I'd like to take you where my rainbow ends Be my lover friend We go alone never before having flown
I am your hurricane Your fire in the sun how long must I live in the air you are my paradise My angel on the run How long must I wait It's the dawn of the feeling that starts from the moment you're there
You'll never know what you have done for me You broke all those rules I live upon I'd like to take you to my shangrila neither here or far away from home never before having flown There I'd like to take you where my spirit flys Through the empty skys we go alone Never before having flown
He Was Thinking Of Me (Traditional) Performer(s): Del Way
I've wondered what He was thinking of
when the crowds came that day And took Him from the garden and His disciples walked away What could have gone thru His mind as they nailed Him to the tree? Oh, but now, now I know He was thinking of me
Chorus: He was thinking of me all the way to Calvary He had me on His mind all of the time so that I could be free It's hard to understand; now I can see He suffered and died so that I could have life He was thinking of me
As Jesus hung on the cross that day, a multitude gathered 'round Each one He was dying to save, but He saw more than just that crowd For His mind went to the future, when He would hear my sinning plea For He knew I, too, would need a Savior Thank you God, for thinking of me
Repeat Chorus
Oh, Jesus has never failed me since I met Him that day And His Spirit brings me comfort when life's trials come my way Through His blood I have forgiveness, and it flows eternally He paid it all though the cost was great Jesus paid that price for me
Repeat Chorus
He suffered and died so that You could have life He was thinking of You
Open Your Heart Composer(s): Hallgrímur Óskarsson - Birgitta Haukdal Brynjarsdóttir First performance by: Birgitta - 2003
Every time you close your eyes I can see the light that you're hiding Like a shadow in the sky Of an eagle's wing when it's gliding
Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna run away Don't let it wait, until it's too late For what you have to say
Open your heart, show me the pain It's all part of who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Just open your beating heart to me
Everything you share with me Turns a little darkness into light And that is how we're meant to be Truth will keep the light shining brighter
Open your heart, show me the pain It's all part of who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Just open your heart to me
Reach out, I'm right by your side Exactly where I want to be The sum of you and me is we, yeah
Open your heart, show me the pain Show me who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Just open your heart to me
Open your heart, show me the pain It's all part of who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Let go and just show me who you are, yeah Hey... your heart
Spirit On The Water Composer(s): Les Holroyd Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest
There's a spirit floating On the water There's a shadow lying Down by the shore Wasn't there a year before? A sacrifice for the coat He's wearing A "paradise" for the lady
Who dares Colour him red upon the snow?
We carry the burden upon our shoulder We carry their lives in the palm of our hand Don't you care about the state you're in Or don't you understand?
There's a spirit floating On the water See the shadow lying Down by the shore Wasn't there some years ago??
We carry the burden upon our shoulder We carry their lives in the palm of our hand Don't you care about the world your in Or don't you understand?
Fui pintando de nostalgia y recuerdos de la infancia el destino que la vida me eligió encontré por el camino gente buena, gente mala paraísos y una que otra tentación
Tu me diste la confianza para ver desde mi alma la grandeza de este mundo con los ojos del amor
Estas manos que le dieron voz y vida a mi guitarra maduraron sobre un cuerpo de mujer aprendí con las caídas que el sendero no se anda si no tienes un amor en quien creer
A pesar de la distancia de las cosas que uno pasa a pesar de ser un hombre me hace falta tu querer
He vuelto a casa abrázame mama hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar tu nieto fue varón y tiene el corazón igual al del abuelo que no está He vuelto a casa abrázame mama hay tantas cosas para recordar hoy traigo el porvenir lejano para mi el día que tu me viste partir
He vuelto a casa abrázame.....abrázame otra vez
Fui cantando por la vida mis canciones más queridas a mi isla le compuse un le lo lai no imaginas cuantas veces tus plegarias vieja mía me ayudaron a seguir un poco más
Siempre que vuelvo a tu lado algo nuevo del pasado me recuerda lo importante que tu eres para mi
He vuelto a casa abrázame mama hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar......
