Standing here alone again Waiting for the moment that we shared, my love No matter how many lies you say No matter how many miles you walk away from me Lorraine
Here I am, all alone Waiting for the moment again But I know that you are gone
You got to know that harder the rain Sweeter the pain I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
Calling you again and again I'll wait for your name I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
Whispering your name again Singing prayers among the stars For you, my sweet Lorraine You've always given me some great times Try to imagine how we fly so far away from here My Lorraine
Here I am, all alone Waiting for the moment we shared But I know that you are gone
You got to know that harder the rain Sweeter the pain I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
Calling you again and again I'll wait for your name I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
I can still remember Lorraine I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
You got to know that harder the rain Sweeter the pain (My sweet Lorraine) I can still remember Lorraine in the rain (Remember Lorraine in the rain)
Calling you again and again (Again and again and again) I'll wait for your name (My sweet Lorraine) I can still remember Lorraine in the rain
(I will fly so far away from here, my love) I can still remember Lorraine in the rain

I Wonder What The Weather's Like In Charleston Composer(s): Moneen Carpenter Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Though you never talked of allways you were gentle And life was simple just because you cared I never thought too much about tomorrow I just could not imagine you're not here
I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston Someone said they heard that's where you've gone I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston For I want you always walking in the sun
I'm sure you never meant to leave me hurtin' But I guess the urge to go got out of hand So you left without a word of explanation I hope somehow you know I understand
I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston Someone said they heard that's where you've gone I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston For I want you always walking in the sun...
Star Composer(s): A. Clarke - T. Sylvester - Tony Hicks Performer(s): The Hollies
I was jiving along in my big cadillac saw a thumb going up, I said "Driver go back" Played her a track from my latest LP Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me
She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights giant size neons on the strip every night The camera man did the best that he can Still she said "I don't know you" I just can't understand
I'm a star, yeah I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow) I'm a star, anyway
I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that I usually make it without any chat
She was taking it easy, taking it slow I said "Come on baby, I'm ready to go"
I'm a star, yeah I'm a star. (Baby bathe in my glow) I'm a star, anyway
She said "Drop me off here" and to my surprise you wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive Some sort of commotion, what's happening here? We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here
She's a star, yeah She's a star, I didn't know it She's a star anyway
Star Composer(s): Joe Egan Performer(s): Stealers Wheel
So they've made you a star Now your head's in a cloud And you're walkin' down the street With your feet off the ground
They read in the press all about your success They believe every word they've been told After all you've been through tell what will you do When you find yourself out in the cold Ah, tell me Ah, tell me
When you appear on the stage There's a standing ovation You really live out your performance You're the biggest sensation
You breeze through the door and when you take the floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf Ah, tell me Ah, tell me
You breeze though the door and when you take the floor You expect to have it all to yourself After all you've been through tell me what will you do When you find yourself back on the shelf Ah, tell me Ah, tell me

In the sky shines a star Spaces near and far Calling out who you are And smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Stars hide from the rain It turns against the pain Fooling many in the game While smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
I can feel the dark take the night apart But then the stars come out and lift my heart Believing there's a star for everyone Makes it easier to recall That together, for the children of the world There's a star smiling for us all
Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Star, shining high Cultivating my desire Graceful in the sky While smiling in the night
Star bright, star light, beaming 'cross the sky Falling, calling, can you tell me why Star bright, star light, mighty light to see Shining, smiling, down on you and me
Le Grand Soir Composer(s): Frédéric Zeitoun - Alec Mansion First performance by: Nuno Resende - 2005
Ce soir, tous ces regards Là dans le noir La peur et l'espoir Ce soir, il n'est pas trop tard De croire Aux rêves de gloire Ce soir, une lumière, dans un éclair, changer d'histoire
Ce soir, je l'ai prié, je l'attendais, le grand soir Ce soir, le souffle court L'enjeu est lourd Ne pas decevoir Ce soir, changer de trottoir Ce soir Un nouveau départ Et voir, toute sa vie, tous ses amis, en un regard Ce soir, je fais un voeu, je veux pour eux, le grand soir
Ce soir, on oublie tout Les mauvais coups Les nuits de brouillard Ce soir, c'est un autre jour Ce soir c'est enfin mon tour D'avoir, comme un dimanche, une revanche, et le pouvoir Ce soir, de l'appeller, de le chanter, le grand soir Le grand soir
Hey You Composer(s): Roger Waters Performer(s): Pink Floyd
Hey you, out there in the cold Getting lonely, getting old Can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me? Hey you, dont help them to bury the light Don't give in without a fight
Hey you, out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey you, with you ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy The wall was too high As you can see No matter how he tried He could not break free And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, standing in the road always doing what you're told Can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall Can you help me? Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall
