Para Llenarme De Ti First performance by: Ramón - 2004
Se quedó llorando llorando su pena y bien sabe que es por ti hoy su condena
Yo la quise tanto era la sangre en mis venas sin saber que eran de otro sus lunas llenas
Y entre tu amor y su dolor hay un lamento me quemo a fuego lento me quemo a fuego lento pero mi pecho dijo adiós y ahora de nuevo brilla el sol porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti mi refugio será tu cuerpo y mi tierra tu vientre de trigo en flor
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti y mi caricia será tu aliento y mi bandera la luz de tu dulce amor
Yo te voy a amar hasta el final Yo te voy a dar todito mi amor Y yo te voy a dar toda mi piel y mi vida Todo por este amor por tu amor
Y yo te voy a amar te voy a amar sin medida Y yo te voy a dar Yo me juego hasta la vida por este amor, por este amor
Hoy es tan lejana como huella en la arena su recuerdo sabe a sal y a hierbabuena
Tú me das la calma en las noches de entrega y nadie mas podrá borrar tu piel de seda
Y entre tu amor y su dolor hay un lamento me quemo a fuego lento me quemo a fuego lento pero mi pecho dijo adiós y ahora de nuevo brilla el sol porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti mi refugio será tu cuerpo y mi tierra tu vientre de trigo en flor
Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti y mi caricia será tu aliento y mi bandera la luz de tu dulce amor
Yo te voy a amar te voy a amar sin medida Yo te voy a dar para toda la vida Yo te voy a dar todo lo que soy, todo por este amor Yo te voy a amar te voy a dar Yo te voy a amar todo por este amor Yo te voy a amar yo te voy a amar Yo te voy a dar porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón
Her Town Too Composer(s): James Taylor; John David Souther; Waddy Wachtel Performer(s): James Taylor
She's been afraid to go out She's afraid of the knock on her door There's always a shade of a doubt She can never be sure Who comes to call Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend Anyone at all Anything but nothing again
It used to be her town It used to be her town too It used to be her town It used to be her town too
Seems like even her old girlfriends Might be talking her down She's got her name on the grapevine Running up and down the telephone line Talking 'bout Someone said, someone said Something 'bout something else Someone might have said about her She always figured that they were her friends But maybe they can live without her
It used to be her town It used to be her town too It used to be her town It used to be her town too
Well people got used to seeing them both together But now he's gone and life goes on Nothing lasts forever, oh no She gets the house and the garden He gets the boys in the band Some of them his friends Some of them her friends Some of them understand Lord knows that this is just a small town city Yes and everyone can see you fall It's got nothing to do with pity I just wanted to give you a call
It used to be your town It used to be my town too You never know till at all falls down Somebody loves you Somebody loves you
Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year Composer(s): Frank Loesser First performance/First recording by: Deanna Durbin/Percy Faith - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
January and Februay were never so empty and grey Tragic'lly I feel like crying Without you, my darling, I'm dying But let's rather put it this way
Spring will be a little late this year A little late arriving in my lonely world over here For you have left me and where is our April of old You have left me and Winter continues cold
As if to say....... Spring will be a little slow to start A little slow reviving music it made in my heart Yes, time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear It's merely that Spring will be a little late this year

Her Favorite Style Composer(s): Doug Ingle Performer(s): Iron Butterfly
Exciting were her eyes And refreshing was her smile
So loving was her attitude she maintained all the while
She reaped in her softness which created a gentle mood And if I ever felt hunger, she would hand me a bit of food
Ah true, she was exciting Refreshing and loving And still found a way in which she maintained all the while That was her faith That was her favorite style That was her favorite style

Henry Lee Composer(s): Nick Cave Performer(s): Nick Cave
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee And stay all night with me You won't find a girl in this damn world That will compare with me And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee I can't get down and I won't get down And stay all night with thee For the girl I have in that merry green land I love far better than thee And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee She leaned herself against a fence Just for a kiss or two And with a little pen-knife held in her hand She plugged him through and through And the wind did roar and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Come take him by his lilly-white hands Come take him by his feet And throw him in this deep deep well Which is more than one hundred feet And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee Till the flesh drops from your bones For the girl you have in that merry green land Can wait forever for you to come home And the wind did howl and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Spring is here in person
How does it look for tonight
Let your Pa and Ma do the cursin'
It's Spring in person that makes it bright

So let's be happy for spite
And let's be letting our hair down
How does it look for tonight
Spring is here in person
How does it look for tonight
Let your Pa and Ma do the cursin'
It's Spring in person that makes it bright
We'll make light as a feather
So let's be happy for spite
And let's be getting together
How does it look for tonight
An Ulsterman I am proud to be From the Antrim Glens I come Although I labour by the sea I have followed flag and drum I have heard the martial tramp of men I've seen them fight and die Ah, lads, I well remember when I followed Henry Joy
I pulled my boat up from the sea I hid my sails away I hung my nets on a greenwood tree And I scanned the moonlit bay The boys were out, and the Redcoats too I kissed my wife goodbye And in the shade of the greenwood glade I followed Henry Joy" In Antrim town the tyrant stood He tore our ranks with ball But with a cheer and a pike to clear We swept them o'er the wall Our pikes and sabres flushed that day We won, but lost, ah, why? No matter lads, I fought beside And shielded Henry Joy
Ah, boys, for Ireland's cause we fought For her and home we bled Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true And five to one lay dead And many a lassie mourned her lad And mother mourned her boy For youth was strong in that gallant throng Who followed Henry Joy
