Hold On Composer(s): Rosanne Cash Performer(s): Rosanne Cash
If you want to keep a woman like me, you got to hold on If you want to see how good it can be, baby, hold on All my friends think that I'm a fool I tell you something honey, they're not that cool If you want to keep a woman like me, you better hold on
If you want to know how far we can go, you got to hold on If you take it slow then I got something to show you Baby, hold on All those girls with their empty heads Can't fill 'em up with the lies they've been fed If you want to know how far I can go, you got to hold on
She'll give you reasons for her kind You might believe it, but I'm not that blind
If you think you need a woman like me, you better hold on If you want to find what I've got on my mind, baby, hold on All this small talk that keeps us apart Is only hiding how we feel in our hearts If you want to keep a woman like me, baby, hold on
Hold On Composer(s): Dan Hill Performer(s): Dan Hill; Ann Christy
So you flung your fist high in the air But the world remained the same And all the demonstrations Filtered out through graduation And the times that were a changing Never changed Freedom takes on new meaning When you have a family of five And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution When you're fighting for your life Just to survive
It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in Hold on - don't let it fade Still you've gotta Be strong - find yourself a reason You never change the world But just the same You've gotta hold on stronger Each and every day When the night creeps in so hollow When the silence makes you scream When you're so damned scared of failure When the world's burned out it's saviors When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream
It's then you've gotta Hold on - for what you believe in Hold on - don't let it fade Still you've gotta Be strong - find yourself a reason You never change the world But just the same You've gotta hold on stronger Or else you'll fade
Hold On Composer(s): Benjamin Orr; Diane Grey Page Performer(s): Benjamin Orr
Well you sure look good tonight I think I've come to see sunlight Come on, hold on to me Belong to me
You know that love looks good on you In what you say and what you do Come on, hold on to me It's all I need
I gotta do the _____ in time __________ Not a thing to show for all the times I've tried Now we just can't seem to wipe the smile away And you gave it to me
Give it up - I'm feeling something beautiful Look at this - we're starting to be suitable to me Every day I find what you got into us Can't seem to get enough of you
When you're away, I dream that you... Come on and hold on to me Belong to me
And so it never really ends You mend the hurts that never mend Come on, hold on to me It's all I need
Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya...
Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you And what did I do before?
Can't believe that this is really happening All the hurtful days are finally vanishing Making all the fantasies realities We could be in for some surprises
I know it - you know it too. Before you think of compromises Just realize it's only here for you
Yeah, you sure look good tonight I think I've finally seen sunlight Come on, hold on to me It's all I need.
And so it never really ends You mend the hurts that never mend Come on and hold on to me
Belong to me
Gotta make for bringing out the best to me When the love is is right, it's possible to see you so clearly All my life I wondered would it come to me
(come to me)
Then you brought it to me Can't believe that this is really happening All the hurtful days are finally vanishing Making all your fantasies realities
Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya... Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you And what did I do before?
Steel Rail Blues Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot First recording/First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1964/1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, I got my mail late last night A letter from a girl who found the time to write To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night She sent me a railroad ticket, too To take me to her lovin' arms And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well I bin out here many a long days I haven't found a place that I could call my own Not a two-bit bed to lay my body on I bin stood up, I bin shook down I bin dragged into the sand And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well I bin up tight most every night Walkin' along the streets of this old town Not a friend around to tell my troubles to My good old car, she done broke down 'Cause I drove it into the ground And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well, I look over yonder across the plain The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound Now I ain't had a home cooked meal And Lord, I need one now And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love
Well, here I am with my head in the sand Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night I went in town for one last round And I gambled my ticket away And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love

Drama Queen Composer(s): Simon Munk - Peter Andersen - Claus Christensen
First performance by: DQ - 2007
When the sun is setting at the end of the day And the city fills with shades of grey In between the streetlight and the moonlit snow There's a place I go Where I do my show
I'm your drama queen tonight All my troubles are out of sight When the lights are on I will be your shining star I'm your drama queen tonight Everything's gonna be alright When I get on the stage tonight
It's a space in time where every dream comes true And tomorrow's sorrows just won't do In between reality and fantasy I will make you see If you just believe
I'm your drama queen tonight All my troubles are out of sight When the lights are on I will be your shining star I'm your drama queen tonight Everything's gonna be alright When I get on the stage tonight
No more use pretending No more reason to run and hide Let's make all our dreams come true tonight
I'm you drama queen tonight All my troubles are out of sight When the lights are far I will be your shining star I'm your drama queen tonight Everything's gonna be alright When I get on the stage tonight Oh... 'cause I'm your drama queen tonight
Steel Guitar Rag Composer(s): Leon McAuliff - Merle Travis - Cliff Stone Performer(s): George Jones and multiple other artists
Been runnin' around, seen many a town and maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy that brags But listen to me and see if you don't agree No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag
And when they slide that thing, along those strings It sounds so dogone heavenly, you can hear the Angels sing And when you stomp your feet, your heart will beat A rhythm to the old steel guitar rag
You may be kind choosy, 'bout the kind of songs you hear You maybe like them blusey, makes you cry right in your beer But if you want a song that's bound to dry away your tears Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me Composer(s): Harry Noble Performer(s): Karen Chandler; and various other artists
Hold me, hold me Never let me go until you've told me, told me What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me Make me tell you I'm in love with you
Thrill me (thrill me), thrill me (thrill me) Walk me down the lane where shadows will be (will be), will be (will be) Hiding lovers just the same as we'll be, we'll be When you make me tell you I love you
They told me "Be sensible with your new love" "Don't be fooled, thinking this is the last you'll find" But they never stood in the dark with you, love When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind
Kiss me (kiss me), kiss me (kiss me) And when you do, I'll know that you will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me) If we ever say "Adieu", so kiss me, kiss me Make me tell you I'm in love with you
(Kiss me) kiss me, (kiss me) kiss me When you do, I'll know that you will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me) If we ever say "Adieu" so kiss me, kiss me Make me tell you I'm in love with you
(Hold me, thrill me) (Never, never, never let me go) (Hold me, thrill me, never, never, never let me go)
(Hold me, thrill me, never, never, never let me go)
Comme Ci Comme Ça First performance by: Evridiki - 2007
Tous les lundis, tu finis Le travail trop tard puis La télé et sommeil Quand mon cur se réveille Tous les mardis tu me dis Le matin et tu l'oublies On ira au ciné Et le soir désolé
Comme ci, comme ça La vie passe Et les beaux moments nous dépassent Comme ci, comme ça Lamour casse Routine et paresse nous menacent Comme ci, comme ça Je nen peux plus Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue Je reste pas là Comme ci, comme ça La fin voilà Comme ci, comme ça
Même les samedis à minuit Tu me dis déjà Bonne Nuit Tu tendors quand je sors En te chantant très fort
Comme ci, comme ça La vie passe Et les beaux moments nous dépassent Comme ci, comme ça Lamour casse Routine et paresse nous menacent Comme ci, comme ça Je nen peux plus Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue Je reste pas là Comme ci, comme ça La fin voilà Comme ci, comme ça
Comme ci, comme ça La vie passe Et les beaux moments nous dépassent Comme ci, comme ça Lamour casse Routine et paresse nous menacent Comme ci, comme ça Je nen peux plus Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue Je reste pas là Comme ci, comme ça La fin voilà Comme ci, comme ça
Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes Performer(s): Paul Anka
Two broken hearts Neither one knows what to say Both falling for love But not quite all the way
Look at us now Reaching back to yesterday Longing to know If they are the ones to stay
After all I'm the one who said we're through Now I can't live without anymore Out there lost is the dream that can't come true Is it worth the reaching for Don't you want me anymore, darling
Hold me till the morning comes Until I see your smile Take all the sadness from your eyes Hold me till the morning sun Let me stay we've just begun
oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Where shall we start Tender words that we can share Different believes In time we will get there
Look at us now Wanting more than words can say Both falling for love But distant all the way
Out there lost are the words I still love you But they worth the reaching for Do you love me anymore, darling
(chorus)
Hold me till the morning comes Until I see your smile Take all the sadness from your eyes Hold me till the morning sun Let me stay we've just begun I wanna stay with you
(chorus)
Would you love me in the morning We used to be there in the morning Would you leave without a warning Say you love me too
I talk to the lady with the steel gray eyes While the sun is going down And we talk of the things that we wish to know But she's really not around And the sunset on the mountain is the same color As her cascade chestnut hair For forgetting your past So now why the distant stare? Could it be there is someone who remains in her heart And she cares
And the ice of her kisses lingers on and on And the image of her body live Yet you walked on black sand by the sea's turmoil In the dark of a velvet night Then you sat down and gave your hands to be kissed and loved Could not you hear a gentle sigh? And by the stars part control of your wandering life Do you believe in not telling lies? But it was good that you were warm on your way back home Short love, goodbye
Hold Me Tighter In The Rain Composer(s): John Barnes; Billy Griffin; Donald Griffin Performer(s): Billy Griffin
Many times we been this way Just another walk in the rain But you know it isn't like before Darling, that's over, you said it's over
If we held each other near Remembering the time, never fear Why can't we make it feel the way it did Darling, say it's over, won't you think it over
Hold me tighter in the rain, when it's through Won't you hold me once again Hold me tighter in the rain `Cause I love you, say you love me if you can
Let me kiss you one more time A pitter-patter to catch love in your mind Remember how we used to play the games Stealing kisses, walkin' in the rain
Oh, can I lead you one more time Let me convince your heart, that you were mine Take my hand and whisper that you'll stay Help me pass this lonely night away
Oh, hold me tighter in the rain When it's through, would you hold me once again Just hold me tighter in the rain I love you, say you love me if you can
Hold me tighter in the rain When it's through, would you hold me once again Hold me tighter in the rain `Cause I love you, say you love me if you can
Stay, stay, stay, stay Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby Stay, stay, stay, stay Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold on to love, hold on to me Don't leave me in the rain Won't you stay with me Hold on to love, hold on to me Don't leave me in the rain Won't you stay with me Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay Hold me tighter in the rain Just hold me baby Just let me lady Won't you let me baby Next time you see me Hold me tighter in the rain Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby Hold me tighter, one more time Say you love me, if you can
Love Power Composer(s): Paul Curtiz - Sexyfire First performance by: The KMG's - 2007
Can you feel the love power? Can you feel the love?
I wake up every morning Another day on my own I'm in the eye of the storm And I feel so alone
But when I notice the sunshine (Sunshine) The summer breeze in the air And when I dream of your sweet smile Why should I fall into despair?
Can you feel the love power coming your way? Can you feel the love power all day? Can you feel the love power coming your way? (Can you feel the love power?)
Today is another bad day I'm gonna turn into stone There's too much pressure on me And I feel so alone
I feel the temperature rising (Rising) There's something new in the air And all the birds are just singing love Why should I fall into despair?
Can you feel the love power coming your way? Can you feel the love power all day? Can you feel the love power coming your way? (Can you feel the love power?)
(Can't you feel the love power?) (Can't you feel the love power?) (Can't you feel the love power?) Can you feel the love? (Can't you feel the love power?)
(Can you feel the love power coming your way?) (Can you feel the love power?)
Can you feel the love power coming your way? Can you feel the love power all day? Can you feel the love power coming your way? Can you feel the love power?
One more time, come on (Coming your way) Can you feel the love power coming your way? Can you feel the love power?
