A Matter Of Time Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest
It's a matter of time before we know If you follow the signs, let your feelings show Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose We can talk for a while and that's all right I can see in your eyes what you feel inside You don't know what you've been doing Leave me standing here We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time before we say We got out of line looking for the way Oh babe, you've got something to hide
You can stay for a while and that's all right I see in your smile what you feel tonight You don't know what you've been doing Leave us standing here We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far Not the way that it's meant to be It's a matter of time It's just a matter of time
Are you really looking for someone Who'll turn you on And always be around you?
Take another look and you will see That I will be waiting It's a matter of time It's a matter of time Oh babe, it's just a matter of time
A Matter Of Feeling Composer(s): Simon LeBon - Nick Rhodes - Andy Taylor Performer(s): Duran Duran
How does it feel, when everyone surrounds you? How do you deal, do crowds make you feel lonely? What do you say? When people come and try to pin you down? Aquaintainces smile, but that's no understanding How after a while, you keep falling off the same mountain Try to explain it, but nothing really gets that high
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new Just a matter of feeling This moment's madness sure to pass And tears will dry as you're leaving Who knows you might find something to last..
Emotion's a game , saved up for a rainy monday But you laugh just the same, 'cause it's been pouring on sunday Call up your numbers and never let the zeros let you down How does it feel? Is time to heavy to hold, whatever you decide for the moment is holy Whenever you slow down to see life is passing by
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new Just a matter of feeling This moment's madness sure to pass And tears will dry as you're leaving Who knows you might find something to last..
(you can..)
Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you Just a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new Just a matter of feeling This moment's madness sure to pass And tears will dry as you're leaving Who knows you might find something to last..
A matter of feeling.. A matter of feeling.. A matter of feeling.. A matter of feeling..
How Come, How Long Composer(s): Babyface; Stevie Wonder Performer(s): Babyface; Stevie Wonder
There was a girl I used to know She was oh so beautiful But she's not here anymore She had a college degree Smart as anyone could be She had so much to live for But she fell in love With the wrong kinda man He abused her love and treated her so bad There was not enough education in her world That could save the life of this little girl
How come, how long It's not right, it's so wrong Do we let it just go on Turn our backs and carry on Wake up, for it's too late Right now, we can't wait She won't have a second try Open up your hearts As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help She even blamed things on herself But no one came to her aid Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell That's what we'd like to tell ourselves But no, it wasn't that way So she fell in love With the wrong kinda man And she paid with her life For loving that man So we cannot ignore We must look for the signs And maybe next time We might save somebody's life
Hook
I on occasion met that guy He stirred up bad feelings deep inside Something about him wasn't right The way he proves himself a man By beatin' his woman with his hands Oh I wish she'd seen the light How can someone like that Call himself a man In reality he's far more less than that And we cannot ignore Whenever we see the signs 'Cause any kinda of abuse God knows isn't right
A Marshmallow World Composer(s): Peter de Rose - Carl Sigman Performer(s): Brenda Lee and multiple other artists
Ahhhh, it's a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year round!
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees And the sun is red like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose won't freeze!
The world is your snowball, see how it grows That's how it goes, whenever it snows The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along!
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl It's a sugar date, so what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world!
It's a marshmallow day in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day And we wait for it the whole year round!
Just you remember that

Then I wonder
How come you treat me so bad Your the most loving woman I ever had How come you treat me so bad girl I got to know

All the women stop and they give me the eye But the woman I love don't even wonder why I ain't good looking, but I know spending my money Another man might get her off town But if your the one that's like messing around Well I ain't laughing But something sure seems funny Don't it
Hey Southside, there's something familiar about that shirt Well eh.. I like to talk to you but I got to play a little something here
I ask for coocking and you give me food I ask for ..... and you give me ..... I am asking for time and you tell me I am already to late what you mean? Someday girl you might change you mind You realize what you left behind I got news for you baby I just might not wait, no more
How come you treat me so bad Your the most loving woman I ever had How come you treat me so bad I am tired of being lonly and I feel so sad How come you treat me so bad Your the most loving woman I ever had How come you treat me so bad girl I got to know
That woman makes me so tired How long can this go on She's just like her mother Yeah I know what you mean What you mean, you know what I mean? Well don't get excited I am talking about my baby Who your talking about? I was just... Hey where did you get that shirt? This is my shirt Did my baby give you my shirt? Wait a minute I paid 12 dollars for that shirt This is my shirt
A Married Man's A Fool Composer(s): Willie McTell Performer(s): Ry Cooder; Roy Book Binder; Willie McTell
Had a friend, Louie Brown, he was a deacon Just as wise as he could be Now I realized he could read the Good Book Back from Revelations down to Genesee You know last Sunday morning we was over to the church My buddy wants to take him a stand And he looks out upon the whole congregation The Good Book in his hand
Now he cast his eye about, and then he looks over in the Amen Corner All the sisters commenced to shout [What'd he say?] He said a married man's a fool to think that his wife love nobody else but him She stick by you all o' your life the chances is mighty slim Now you read the Good Book, chapter twenty-one Every married woman got to have a little fun Read on over chapter twenty-two It's a sin to let that woman make a fool outta you Now you read a little further, chapter twenty-three She two-time you, brother, like she double-crossed me Read on back, over chapter ten Shimmy one time, you got the problem again 'Cause a married man's a fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him I mean, loves nobody else but him
Well, a married man's a fool to think that his wife Loves nobody else but him She stick by you all your life the chances is mighty slim Now you read on over twenty-fifth page Married women's, Lord, is hard to engage Read kinda careful, chapter twenty-six Back door slamming you got to learn to get it fixed Read on out, chapter twenty-eight Who's that back slidin' out through yo' back gate? I believe I'll close on chapter twenty-nine Woman get tired of the same man all the time 'Cause a married man's fool to think that his wife loves nobody else but him I mean love nobody else but him

How Can You Tell Composer(s): Chris Andrews Performer(s): Sandie Shaw
My love says the sweetest things Everyone who knows him tells me That he brings me true loving But I don't really know 'cause
How can you tell if somebody loves you How d'you know they mean it How can you tell if somebody loves you Maybe he's just playing games with me O woah woah woah
He smiles when I take his hand Then he'll kiss me and I just don't understand Why I doubt it When he tells me he loves me How can you tell if somebody loves you How d'you know they mean it How can you tell if somebody loves you Maybe he's just playing games with me O woah woah woah
I treasure every moment He and I spent together Sharing kisses I wish it would last for ever and ever
Maybe I shouldn't speak of love But since I met him it's the one thing I think of And he tells me he feels the same way
And yet how can you tell if somebody loves you How d'you know they mean it How can you tell if somebody loves you Maybe he's just playing games with me O woah woah woah

I've waited all through the years. love To give you a heart true and real Cos I know you are living in sorrow In your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window The trees stand so silent and still I know you're alone with your pride, dear In your loveless mansion on the hill

A Mano A Mano ((French Version: De Jour En Jour (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978)) Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1978
A mano a mano ti accorgi che il vento Ti soffia sul viso e ti ruba un sorriso La vecchia stagione che sta per finire Ti soffia sul cuore e ti ruba l'amore
A mano a mano si scioglie nel pianto Quel dolce ricordo sbiadito dal tempo Di quando vivevi con me in una stanza Non c'erano soldi ma tanta speranza
E a mano a mano mi perdi e ti perdo E quello che è stato ci sembra più assurdo Di quando la notte eri sempre più vera E non come adesso nei sabato sera.... Ma...dammi la mano e torna vicino Può nascere un fiore nel nostro giardino Che neanche l'inverno potrà mai gelare Può crescere un fiore da questo mio amore per te
E a mano a mano vedrai che nel tempo Lì sopra il tuo viso lo stesso sorriso Che il vento crudele ci aveva rubato Che torna fedele L'amore è tornato da te....
De Jour En Jour ((Adapted from: A Mano A Mano (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978)) Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti - Giovanni Tommaso Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - 1978; Ivana Spagna - 2001
De jour en jour, tu comprends que le temps Souffle sur ton visage et te vole un sourire La belle saison qui s'en va lentement A soufflé sur ton coeur et t'a volé tes rêves De jour en jour, tout se fond dans les larmes Même ce souvenir, affaibli par le temps Quand nous vivions, tous deux, dans une chambre Sans rien dans les mains que notre seule espérance De jour en jour, je te perds, tu t'éloignes Et notre passé ne ressemble à rien Pourtant on s'est aimés, pourtant on y croyait On s'était même jurés de ne jamais se quitter Mais donne-moi la main, j'ai envie pour nous deux De refaire le chemin, de nous revoir heureux De te prendre dans mes bras, de me perdre dans tes yeux Tu verras, si l'on veut, que l'on peut recommencer ensemble De jour en jour, de défaites en conquêtes Voir sur ton visage refleurir un sourire La belle saison qui revient lentement Nous rappelle la promesse qu'on s'est faite de ne plus se quitter
How Can Love So Right (Be So Wrong) Composer(s): William Brown; Vinnie Castellano; Al Goodman; Harry Ray; Lou Toby; Lee Walter Performer(s): Harry Ray, Al Goodman, William Brown
Started out good [We started out so good] To end up so bad [To end up so bad] Where did we go wrong [Where did we go wrong] What happened to the love we once had [And what happened to the love we once had] Its slowly slippin away [I feel it slowly slippin away] How can we let it end [And how can we let it end] This love was so right [When this love was so right] From the beginning [From the beginning]
How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now
Thinking of yesterday When love was in full bloom The fires from our love Could light up a room
But somewhere along the way We made a jagged turn The plans we both had Theyre beginning to burn
How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now
How can a love so good turn out so bad (So bad, so bad, so bad, yeah) Tell me what happened to the love we once had (Once had, once had) Too bad, so sad, too bad, whoa, how
How can love so right be so wrong now
One day your love is glad The next day you end up sad Ooh, babe, what a thin line Its enough to drive you mad
One day our love was good and hot Next day runnin cold One day we had a new love But now its old
How, how, how How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now How can love so right be so wrong now

Titles In Other Languages: 1968 - Quando Me Enamoro (by George Freedman) 2006 - Cuando Me Enamoro (by Andrea Bocelli)
I can remember when we walked together Sharing a love I thought would last forever Moonlight to show the way so we can follow Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me I had no lovin' arms to hold me
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Knowing that it's cloudy above Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me So, if you see my girl please send her home to me Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying Say I can't stop myself from crying
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Knowing that it's cloudy above Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up, then I start to break up Lonely is a man without love Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out Lonely is a man without love
How Can I Thank You? Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina Performer(s): Shirley Temple; and various other artists
How can I thank you For all you've done? How can I thank you My dearest one? How can I say in a word or two How much it means to be loved by you? The words are somewhere around my heart But I don't know how to start What do you do when a dream comes true? How can I thank you, sweetheart?
