Still My Heart Believes Composer(s): Merrill Osmond Performer(s): Merrill Osmond
Ive never seen rainbows ever touch the ground Ive never seen harps with any angels around Ive never seen anyone heaven bound Still my heart believes
Ive never heard voices really pierce the veil Ive never had a dream hit the Richter scale Ive never seen peace on earth ever prevail
Still my heart believes 'Cause theres this love in the center Where my fading heart can enter Its where peace and joy arise When my heart repeats the sound All the songs well sing together On that very special day Its loud and clear Right deep in here is love
Ive never seen sunsets tucked away Ive never held pain in at bay Never really lived one perfect day Still my heart believes
Still my heart believes 'Cause theres this love in the center Where my fading heart can enter Its where peace and joy arise When my heart repeats the sound All the songs well sing together On that very special day Its loud and clear Right deep in here is love
Homeward Bound Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon
I'm sittin' in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination, mmm On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band
Homeward Bound I wish I was Homeward Bound Home, where my thought's escaping Home, where my music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me
Every day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to me The movies and the factories And every stranger's face I see Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward Bound I wish I was Homeward Bound Home, where my thought's escaping Home, where my music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again I'll play the game and pretend But all my words come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me
Homeward Bound I wish I was Homeward Bound Home, where my thought's escaping Home, where my music's playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Silently for me
Hometown Blues Composer(s): Tom Petty Performer(s): Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers; Rosanne Cash; Lew Lewis
Baby can't wait, baby gotta go Gotta do a number on a late night show Do a little song, do a little dance Gonna make the best of her big chance
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues Blues
I gotta friend, gotta little girl Say she's the best in the whole wide world Said it's so good, said it so unreal Might not last, but it's no big deal
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just trying to make the best of the hometown blues Blues
Baby, save me, save me Save me with your sweet smile Honey, I really need you To help me kill a little bit of time
All of the girls run with the crowd They go wild when the lights go down They gotta little money, little in a dream Wanna be the queen of their little scene
Don't really matter if they don't or if they do They're trying to make the best of the hometown blues Blues
Homesick, That's All Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I miss the thrill of grammar school romances I miss the junior prom and graduation dances The gossip in assembly hall I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the gang that hangs around at Miller's Devouring chocolate sodas, with those whipped cream fillers The girl I promised I would call I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the midnight services on Christmas Eve And the joy when Christmas morning came I miss the scramble for the wishbone every Sunday And the big Thanksgiving football game
I miss the times I had to set the table I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able The fragrant bonfires in the fall I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the times I had to set the table I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able The fragrant bonfires in the fall I'm homesick, that's all
Casanova Composer(s): Jordi Cubino First performance by: Gisela - 2008
(Oh Casanova ... nova ... nova ...)
A thousand stars were shining their light in the night skies You and me, a magical moment in your eyes (Casanova) Lost in love, I'd waited a lifetime to find you The stars above were burning so bright to remind you (Casanova) Boom, boom, boom, my heart still goes crazy When I think of you
Oh Casanova I thought love would last forever That we'd always stay together Can't you feel it in your heart?
Oh Casanova In a fairy tale I found you I'm alive when I'm around you I can't live if we're apart
A simple song can bring back the past to remind me Now you're gone and all the good times behind me (Casanova) Boom, boom, boom, my heart still goes crazy When I think of you
Oh Casanova I thought love would last forever That we'd always stay together Can't you feel it in your heart?
Oh Casanova In a fairy tale I found you I'm alive when I'm around you I can't live if we're apart
Vull escoltar que tu m'estimes I want to dream this dream with you
Oh Casanova I thought love would last forever That we'd always stay together Can't you feel it in your heart?
Oh Casanova In a fairy tale I found you I'm alive when I'm around you I can't live if we're apart
I feel very blue, yes I do can't you tell Worry quite a lot 'cause I'm not feeling well Friends have come to me, saying "We can see, You need company" but I'm not lonely, I'm only
My poor heart will stop when I hop off the train Such a happy soul when I stroll down the lane I can't wait 'til then, to be there again In the twilight when the sun is setting I'm getting
Homesick, I know just what's the matter I'm Homesick that's all I see that cozy little shack and the little red school Daddy on the back of a funny old mule "God Bless our Home" on the wall The fields of clover they seem to say "Why don't you come over, pay us a call I miss the cows and the chickens and the apple tree shady And there's that little old lady do you wonder why I'm Homesick
Still I Cling To You (French Version: Je Me Raccroche À Toi) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
I know the signs, I read the warning To you, I'm only time to kill Not mean a thing to you Yet, still I cling to you
Like melodies on (?) Winter mornings Like snow upon the highest hill That's how I cling to you Somehow, I cling to you
If I were wiser I would leave you Pick up my broken pride and steal away What is this game you play Do we have a chain to bind and hold me (?) Yet, keep yourself one step beyond me So near, so far away
I tell myself, you'll come to love me As flowers come alive in Spring And still I cling to you
At times you want my adoration You talk of love, of life ??? My soul ??? swings (?) to you And so, I cling to you
At times you mock my desperation My ignorance, to laugh, to score (?) Despite the things you do, in rage (?) I cling to you
Is it just pity you are feeling These crumbs of comfort that you throw my way How long can hope survive How long must this despair continue If you're so sure, I'll never wave (?) you Why keep my hope alive
You do not hear the song I sing you You do not take the gift I bring Yet still I sing to you Still I cling to you
Homenagem Ao Malandro Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
Eu fui fazer um samba em homenagem À nata da malandragem Que conheço de outros carnavais
Eu fui à Lapa e perdi a viagem Que aquela tal malandragem Não existe mais
Agora já não é normal O que dá de malandro regular, profissional Malandro com aparato de malandro oficial Malandro candidato a malandro federal Malandro com retrato na coluna social Malandro com contrato, com gravata e capital Que nunca se dá mal
Mas o malandro pra valer - não espalha Aposentou a navalha Tem mulher e filho e tralha e tal
Dizem as más línguas que ele até trabalha Mora lá longe e chacoalha Num trem da Central
Hold On, Be Strong Composer(s): Mira Craig First performance by: Maria Haukaas Storeng - 2008
Love can be hard sometimes Yes, it can catch you off guard like bad crimes Yes, it can make you depressed and angry Make you say: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"
You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely" "Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself" "Ooh, don't wanna be lonely" "Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"
But there's always someone out there who'll be there for you There is always someone out there who'll care for you There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true Hold on, hold on, be strong
Love can go away forever if you push it And you have to remember: don't rush it If it ain't right, it is wrong And you'll be crying: "Why me, why won't anybody try me?"
You might be saying: "Ooh, I don't wanna be lonely" "Ooh, I don't wanna be by myself" "Ooh, don't wanna be lonely, oh no no" "Why ain't anybody lovin' me?"
Now, but there's always someone out there who'll be there for you And there's always someone out there who'll care for you There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true Hold on, hold on, be strong
And yes, there's always someone out there who'll be there for you And there's always someone out there who'll care for you There's always someone out there who'll be true, true, true Hold on, hold on, be strong
Hold on, hold on, be strong My child, hold on, hold on, be strong
Homemade Music Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Michael Utley; Russell Kunkel Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
I ain't no video king I still have to sing For my supper each night You may stand on the benches I play in the trenches Beneath the big spotlights Lived in a suitcase for half of my years I've got strange little voices that live in my ears Hall monster, mall monster I can't believe the old me no more
Homemade music down in the passion pits Homemade music lots o grits but no hits Homemade music is part of my philosophy
Oh cooking is a pleasure And singing is a treasure That most don't find There ain't no harm in telling I like to eat my mellon Right on down to the rind I had a hippie girlfriend when I was a kid She died and went to the suburbs most of them did Raisin' puppies, having yuppies Where did all the wild ones go
Homemade music ain't on the radio Homemade music searchin' high and low Homemade music where did all the good songs go?
First there were records then cassettes and CDs Bankers and lawyers then came the Japanese Homemade music still making sense to me
Homemade music so funky and nice Homemade music sits on very thin ice But homemade music is part of my philosophy
Homemade music ain't on the radio Homemade music searchin' high and low Homemade music where did all the good songs go?
Still Feeling Blue Composer(s): Gram Parsons First release by: Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Time can pass and time can heal But it don't ever pass the way I feel You went away a long time ago And why you left I never knew The lonely days and lonely nights Guess the world knows I ain't feelin' right And when you're gone the hours pass so slow And now I'm still feeling blue
And baby Since you've walked out of my life I never felt so low Can't help but wonder why you had to go
There are many girls but I can't say They come and go but still I feel this way And ever since the day you said goodbye No one treats me like you used to do
I hope you're out and happy now Doing up the town cause you know how Every time I hear your name I want to die And now I'm still feeling blue
All right
And baby Since you've walked out of my life I never felt so low Can't help but wonder why you had to go
I hope you're out and happy now Doing up the town cause you know how Every time I hear your name I want to die And now I'm still feeling blue And now I'm still feeling blue
Homemade Ice Cream Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Tony Joe White
Summer nights And the living is high And wouldn't you know it There's big old full moon risin' up in the sky And you know it's right the perfect night For homemade ice cream
I can see those lightning buzz and the river flow There's an old harmonica playing soft and low And folks back home out on the front porch Eating homemade ice cream
But it's a shame that it's only in my mind 'Cause I'm stuck up here in the city Don't you know it's a pity I'm grounded in making homemade ice cream
Believe Composer(s): Jim Beanz - Dima Bilan First performance by: Dima Bilan - 2008
Even when the thunder and storm begins I'll be standing strong like a tree in the wind Nothing's gonna move this mountain Or change my direction
I'm falling off the sky And I'm all alone The courage that's inside's gonna break my fall Nothing's gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on It will never be impossible Not today
'Cause I've got something to believe in As long as I'm breathing There is not a limit to what I can dream
'Cause I've got something to believe in Mission to keep climbing Nothing else can stop me if I just believe And I believe in me
Even when the world tries to pull me down Tell me that I can't, try to turn me around I won't let them put my fire out, without no
But if I keep going on It will never be impossible Not today
Yes, I've got something to believe in As long as I'm breathing There is not a limit to what I can dream
'Cause I've got something to believe in Mission to keep climbing Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe I can do it all Open every door Turn unthinkable to reality You'll see, I can do it all and more
Believing, as long as I'm breathing There is not a limit to what I can dream Believing, mission to keep climbing Nothing else can stop me if I just believe And I believe in me
Homely Girl Composer(s): Stan McKenney; Eugene Record Performer(s): The Chi-Lites; and various other artists
It must have broke your poor little heart When the boys used to say You looked better in the dark Oooh but now they'd give all they learnt in school To be somewhere in the dark with you (Oh yes they would)
You know the teacher would ask the questions And you, would always raise your hand Oooh but somehow you never got your turn And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn (Oh yes I did)
(Chorus)
Homely girl, she was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah
There was a boy who used to sit beside you Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through Oooh you were beautiful to me You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did
I was the only one who offered To carry your books Took all the stares and laughter With the dirty looks But I saw then what they see now They all want to ask you for a date They don't know how, they don't know how
(Chorus)
Homely girl, she was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah
Oooh first they want a chance to hold you Then they want a chance to try to control you Oh no, don't you know I got to say it
"Still falls the rain,the veils of darkness shroud the blackened trees which, contorted by some unseen violence, shed their tired leaves and bend their boughs toward a gray earth of severed bird wings Among the grasses, poppies bleed before a gesticulating death and young rabbits, born dead in traps, stand motionless as though guarding the silence that surrounds and threatens to engulf all those that would listen Mute birds, tired of repeating yesterdays terrors, huddle together in the recesses of dark corners heads turned from the dead, black swan that floats upturned in a small pool in the hollow There emerges from this pool a faint, sensual mist, that traces its way upwards to caress the feet of the headless martyr's statue whose only achievement was to die too soon, and who couldn't wait to loose The cataract of darkness forms fully, the long black night begins yet still by the lake a young girl waits Unseeing she believes herself unseen she smiles faintly at the distant tolling bell and the still falling rain"
Homegrown Tomatoes Composer(s): Guy Clark Performer(s): John Denver; and various other artists
There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon 'n lettuce 'n homegrown tomatoes Up in the mornin', out in the garden Get you a ripe one, don't pick a hard 'un All winter without 'em is a culinary bummer I forgot all about the sweatin' and the diggin' Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What would life be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
You can go out to eat and that's for sure But there's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew You can make your own tomato juice You can eat 'em with eggs, eat 'em with gravy You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle Homegrown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What would like be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
If I's to change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed Cause I know what this country needs Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me In a box in a cold dark cemetery Out in the garden would be much better 'Cause I could be pushin' up a homegrown tomato
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What would like be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
