If I Had Three Wishes Composer(s): C. Baum; Lew Spence Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Oh, if I had three wishes, my first would be for you And if you became my love, I'd return the other two Oh, if I had three wishes, I'd ask for you alone All the other things I want will be mine when you're my own But if you chose me, that I must use the other two It wouldn't matter, dear, cause here's what I would do If I had those three wishes, my first would be for you And the second and the third would be that my first wish comes true

If I Had Only Known Composer(s): Craig Morris; Jana Stanfield Performer(s): Reba McEntire
If I had only known It was the last walk in the rain I'd keep you out for hours in the storm I would hold your hand Like a lifeline to my heart Underneath the thunder we'd be warm If I had only known It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known I'd never hear your voice again I'd memorize each thing you ever said And on those lonely nights I could think of them once more Keep your words alive inside my head If I had only know I'd never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand You were the one who always stood beside me So unaware I foolishly believed That you would always be there But then there came a day And I turned my head and you slipped away
If I had only known It was my last night by your side I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn And when you'd smile at me I would look into your eyes And make sure you knew my love For you goes on and on If I had only known If I had only known The love I would've shown If I had only known

If I Had My Life To Live Over Composer(s): Moe Tobias; Charles Jaffe; Larry Vincent Performer(s): The Three Suns and multiple other artists
As I review my life with you Since the days of old I wouldn't think of changing things For all the World and its gold
If I had my life to live over I'd do the same things again I'd still want to roam Near the place we called home Where my happiness never would end I'd meet you when school days were over And we'd walk through the lanes we once knew If I had my life to live over I'd still fall in love with you

If I Had My Druthers Composer(s): Gene De Paul; Johnny Mercer
If I had my druthers I'd druther have my druthers Than anything else I know While you'd druther hustle accumulatin' muscle I'd druther watch daisies grow
While they're growin' slow 'n the summer breeze is blowin' My heart is overflowin' 'n so If I had my druthers I'd druther have my druthers than anything else I know
If I had my druthers I'd druther have my druthers Than work any wheres at all It ain't that I hates it I often contemplates it while watchin' the rain drops fall
I sits there for hours developin' my powers a figurin' how flowers gets tall If I had my druthers I'd druther have my druthers

If I Had Any Sense Left At All Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Red Lane; Dale Dodson Performer(s): Reba McEntire
I can feel the darkness reaching in As I touch the place you may as well have never been Love can hurt much more than one can bear When a heart beats for someone who's not there
How many times must I tell myself that you're gone When will the rest of me wake up and see what went wrong... So wrong And turn on the light and pick up the phone and just call And lay pride aside If I had any sense left at all
Voices call that only I can hear Who would have thought love was something I would fear Almost home, almost there, almost taste On my mind, in my heart, on my face
How many times must I tell myself that you're gone When will the rest of me wake up and see what went wrong... So wrong And turn on the light and pick up the phone and just call And lay pride aside If I had any sense left at all
Oh just lay pride aside If I had any sense left at all
Kanske Var Min Kind Lite Het English Title: Maybe My Cheek Was A Little Hot Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Timmen hade blivit sen När jag plötsligt såg dig vid entréen Du var ensam Jag som drömt om dig var då Hade inte svårt att svara ja När du bad om en dans
Refräng: Kanske var min kind lite het Varför var jag blyg när du log mot mig För en kort sekund stod allting still Jag önskar att du känt detsamma Kanske var min kind lite het Älskade förlåt att jag tryckte din hand Men det var så skönt att ha dig nära Att känna dig intill
Aldrig har jag älskat så Undrar om du nånsin ska förstå Hur jag känner Hoppet finns ju ändå kvar Jag ska alltid minnas hur det var När du tog min hand
Refräng
Kanske var min kind Kanske var min kind Kanske var min kind lite het
If I Had Any Pride Left At All Composer(s): John Greenbaum; Troy Seals; Eddie Setser Performer(s): John Berry and multiple other artists
I wouldn't count the times we talked about tomorrow And I wouldn't sing the lines if some one played our song On lonely nights like this when I need a friend You'd be the last one I'd call Oh if I had any pride left at all
I would keep a place just to set your picture Reach out to touch your face and feel you in my arms And I wouldn't be here now parked outside your house Not ashamed to crawl oh if I had any pride left at all
And only a fool would still be wearing this ring Ringing your front doorbell
And I wouldn't let my heart stay wrapped around your finger And I wouldn't fall apart when you open the door Like all the other times when your eyes met mine These teardrops wouldn't fall Oh if I had any pride left at all
Karen
Composer(s): Jack Marshall; Bob Mosher
Performer(s): The Surfaris
She's a doll, she's a queen, she's a tantalizing teen
And Karen is her name (they call her Karen)
At a party she's a stomper and a rock and rollin' romper
Everybody's glad she came
Hey that's Karen
She sets her hair with great precision
It's her favorite indoor sport
And by the light of television
She can even write a book report
There is no one greater north or south of the equator
Karen's always in a whirl
She's alarming but disarming, and a really very charming modern girl
If I Had A Talking Picture Of You Composer(s): Lew Brown; Buddy DeSylva; Ray Henderson Performer(s): Jack Hylton's Orch. and multiple other artists
If I had a talking picture of you I would run it every time I felt blue I would sit there in the gloom of my lonely little room And applaud each time you whispered, "I love you; love you"
On the screen the moment you came in view We would talk the whole thing over, we two I would give ten shows a day and a midnight matinee If I had a talking picture of you
Karen, Karen, I don't wanna learn to live without you today you're leaving, and tonight I'm gonna dream about you... but the plane is calling and you gotta get going and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow... so I'll keep smiling, I'll hide the hurting, I'll ask you baby can I drive you out there...
When you're flying, tell me baby are you thinking of me I'm not crying but I don't know if you really love me but the plane is calling and you gotta get going and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow... so I'll swallow my questions and live for the moment and the joy we share when we're together...
Every minute, that you're with me's like a happy hour when you're in it, my life just begins to flower... but the plane is calling and you gotta get going and I don't know whether you'll be back tomorrow... so I'll keep trying and I'll keep hoping and maybe someday soon there'll be a tomorrow...
My heart is beating, but I sometimes don't know why without you I watched you leaving, and I don't why I couldn't stop you... yeah your new life is calling and you've gotta get going and I know you won't be back tomorrow... but I want you to love me and I want you to touch me, and I just don't wanna live without you
Karen, Karen, I'll try to learn to live without you I'm still grieving, gotta give up all my dreams about you yeah the plane is calling and you've gotta get going and I don't think there'll ever be a tomorrow... so I'll remember the good times and the things you taught me the joy we shared, the joy and the sorrow
Karen, Karen the joy and the sorrow the dreams of tomorrow for Karen... and me....
If I Had A Rocket Launcher Composer(s): Bruce Cockburn First release by: Bruce Cockburn - 1984 Covered by multiple other artists
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away How many kids they've murdered only God can say If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die
Karma
Composer(s): Lisette Alvarez; Eddie Martínez
Performer(s): Raphael
Si es que todo lo que hicimos mal en otra vida
Aqui se paga.
Un error, una pasion fatal y sin medida
Estar amada
Fui serpiente de tu paraiso
Y mordiste el fruto de mi hechizo
Pirata que tu carga de oro y plata
Te robo al amanecer
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que si guardas vengaza en tu alma
Con mis besos borrare este karma
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Tu silencio es mi peor sentencia
El castigo de tu indiferencia
Nadie gana es este juego
No me quemes en el fuego del amor
Si es que acaso no haber hecho el bien en otra vida
Es castigado
Debo ser culpable yo tambien y arrepentido
De mi pecado
De quizas haberte abandonado
O una lanza para tu costado
Mirada que en la fuente de agua clara
Te dejo morir de sed
Liberame, amor sin tiempo
Que aunque no recuerdes el pasado
N las vidas que pase a tu lado
Ven, liberame de esta condena
Ven dispuesta a abandonar las armas
Y redime de mi alma de este karma
La leccion esta aprendida
Cambia el ritmo de esta vida con tu amor
If I Had A Million Dollars Composer(s): Matty Malneck; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters and multiple other artists
Castles with their thrones Ships upon the sea Gold and precious stones All belong to me Foolish though it seems Every word is true Though they're only my own dreams My dreams belong to you
If I had a million dollars I know just what I would do I'd tie a string around the World And bring all of it to you Those little things you pray for Whatever they may be I'd have enough to pay for Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars I know I would never care Because as long as you were mine I'd still be a millionaire That's why I'm always dreaming Dreaming of what I would do If I had a million dollars for you
If I had a million dollars I know just what I would do I would tie a string around the World And bring all of it to you Those little things you pray for Whatever they may be I'd have enough to pay for Them all, C.O.D
If I spent a million dollars I know I would never care Because as long as you were mine I'd still be a millionaire That's why I'm always dreaming Dreaming of what I would do If I had a million dollars for you
Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression Composer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer Performer(s): Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Man alone; born of stone Will stamp the dust of time His hands strike the flame of his soul Ties a rope to a tree and hangs the Universe Until the winds of laughter blows cold
Fear that rattles in men's ears And rears it's hideous head Dread .... Death .... in the wind ....
Man of steel pray and kneel With fever's blazing torch Thrust in the face of the night Draws a blade if compassion Kissed by countless Kings Whose jewelled trumpet words blind his sight
Walls that no man thought would fall The altars of the just Crushed .... Dust .... in the wind ....
No man yields who flies in my ship Danger! Let the bridge computer speak Stranger! Load your program I am yourself
No computer stands in my way Only blood can cancel my pain Guardians of a new clear dawn Let the maps of war be drawn
Rejoice! Glory is ours! Our young men have not died in vain Their graves need no flowers The tapes have recorded their names
I am all there is Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live! But I gave you life What else could you do? To do what was right I'm perfect! Are you?
