A Millones De Km De Aquí Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - Lanfranco Ferrario - Massimo Grilli Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Soy yo acaso quien te confunde O eres tú quien no se aclara Soy yo acaso quien no te entiende O eres tú quien sabe y calla O eres tú quien se lo calla Puede ser que yo me esconda Pero tú, tú no me buscas Tú no me buscas Puede ser que yo llegue tarde Y que más da si tú no me esperas Que más da si no me esperas Y en esta noche Maldita última noche Seamos justos, digámonos que sí O que esta noche pa siempre nos distancie A millones de Km de aquí Llones de Km de aquí Llones de Km de aquí... Soy yo acaso quién sabe a poco O eres tú quien sabe a nada Soy yo acaso quien no te toca O puede ser que tu no me sientas ¿quién de quien tiene el alma en pena? ¿quién de dos no se sincera? Puedo ser todo un mar abierto Y que más da si no me navegas Que más da si no navegas Y en esta noche Maldita y puta noche Seamos serios, digámonos que sí O que esta noche pa siempre nos distancie A millones de Km de aquí Porque esta noche Podemos acercarnos Basta mirarnos, nos basta un solo sí O qué remedio esta noche nos condene A millones de Km Llones de Km Llones de Km de aquí... Soy yo acaso O eres tú... Millones de Km de aquí...
When The Night Comes Composer(s): Bryan Adams; Jim Vallance; Diane Warren Performer(s): Joe Cocker
Hold on I'll be back for you It won't be long But for now there's something else That's calling me So take me down a lonesome road Point me east and let me go That suitcase weighs me down With memories
I just wanna be the one you run to I just wanna be the one you come to I just wanna be there for someone When the night comes Let's put all the cares behind us And go where they'll never find us I just wanna be there beside you When the night comes When the night comes
Two spirits in the night That can leave before the morning light When there's nothing left to lose And nothing left to fear So meet me on the edge of town Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round Then you and I We'll just roll right out of here
I just wanna be the one you run to I just wanna be the one you come to I just wanna be there for someone When the night comes Let's put all the cares behind us And go where they'll never find us I just wanna be there beside you When the night comes When the night comes
I know there'll be a time for you and I Just take my hand and run away Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream We're gonna make it out some day We'll be coming back Coming back to stay When the night comes
I wanna be the one you run to When the night comes To be the one you'd come to I wanna be the one you run to Ooh I just wanna be the one you run to Wanna be the one you come to I just wanna be there for someone When the night comes Let's put all the cares behind us And go where they'll never find us I just wanna be there beside you When the night comes When the night comes Ah ah when the night comes When the night rolls down Ah ah when the night comes I wanna be with you Ah ah when the night comes Oh ah when the night comes in Ah ah oh Ah ah when the night comes When the night comes Ah ah when the night comes I wanna be right by your side Ah ah when the night comes Yes baby Ah ah oh Don't do that to me woman Ah ah oh Ever stayed when the night time gets in here Ah ah when the night comes I wanna rise and up in the When the night comes Ah ah when the night comes Ah ah oh Love me
How Great Thou Art Composer(s): Carl G. Boberg; R.J. Hughes Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Chorus: Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, How great Thou art Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin
Chorus
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
My love has no beginning, my love has no end No front no back, my love won't bend I'm in the middle, I'm lost in a spin Loving you And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am
My love has no bottom, my love has no top My love won't rise, my love won't drop I'm in the middle, and I can't stop Loving you And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am
I wish I was a poet, so that I could express What I, what I like to say I wish I was an artist, so that I could paint a picture Of how I feel, how I feel today, today
My love has no walls on either side That makes my love whiter than white I'm in the middle, no and I can't hide Loving you And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am No you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am How glad I am How glad I am
A Million To One Composer(s): Phil Medley - Teddy Randazzo Performer(s): Jimmy Charles and multiple other artists
A million to one That's what our folks think about this love of ours A million to one They say that our love will fade like yesterday's flowers They're betting everything that our love won't survive They're hoping (hoping) in time we'll forget Each others' lies.
A million to one They feel we're too young to know the meaning of love A million to one That they've forgotten the dreams that we're dreaming of But we'll forgive them because we love them After all is said and done Dear one, in a million, a million to one
(But we'll forgive them because we love them) After all is said and done Dear one, in a million, a million to one

Abie's Irish Rose Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Robert Wells
Have you seen Abie? He's like a baby with a brand new toy I've never seen such a bundle of joy He says that Rosie Made his life cozy And I know it's true And you can make the same thing happen to you Here's what you do
Take a little time to tip your hat And don't live a life dull of may-bes A sample example is Abie's Irish Rose She doesn't mind if skies are cloudy Or if birds forget to sing What ever happens she'll find a little good in ev'rything You don't have to be a democrat To walk up and chat with your neighbor You can't say a hand-shake is labor, heaven knows If you laugh at the bad things Work at the glad things Remember to say your "Hellos" You'll be happy as Abie And Abie's Irish Rose

A Million Moons Ago Composer(s): Dick Gilbert - Paul Insetta Performer(s): Jerry Vale
A million moons ago you said I love you so Then suddenly you took your love from me A million times I've tried But a million smiles can't hide the ache that lingers way down deep inside
A million sighs have past since you said our love would last For with the dawn I found that you were gone A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light A million moons ago last night
A million moons ago you said I love you so Then suddenly you took your love from me A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light A million moons ago last night
How Does The Wine Taste? Composer(s): Matt Dubbey; Harold Karr Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; Vikki Carr; Kristopher McDowell; Carmen McRae
How does the wine taste? Does it stain your lips? What is the fruit-like? Just beyond my finger tips? Just out of reach I see so much I cannot taste and mustn't touch Tied to my little world My safe little world What would it be like If I broke the string? Would it be lovely And a little frightening? There is so much I've never understood How does the wine taste? is it good? How does the wine taste? Does it make you glow? How does the wine taste? How does the wine taste? How does the wine taste? I think you know! Ooom...
A Million Miles To The City Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; Bobby Bare
I remember it now we were kids back then living down on the farm We were told that the city could only bring us harm Well how far away is the city you know that's a great big town And Barbara said why it's a million miles and then the story got around It's a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know It's a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go
There was a town nearby but a town is a town and a city that's somethin' else Our daddy had been to a city but he never was much help The buildings're taller than oak trees ah but we knew better than that 'Cause ain't nobody could climb that high the city was wide and flat It's a million miles...
The years have passed and we have grown and traveled far and wide The cities have changed the kids we were we see it in each other's eyes Lord I'd love to go back to those hills again to the boy I used to be Where the leaves in the wind and the whippoorwills Were all just a part of the land like me It's a million miles...

A Million Miles Away Behind The Door Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - André Previn Performer(s): Anita Gordon
Send back the world There's too much night for me The sky is much too high To shelter me when darkness falls
Four cabin walls Would be just right for me I need a threshold I can cross When I can sit and gather moss Forevermore A million miles away behind the door
Roll up the plains There's too much view for me There's so much space between The waiting heart, and whispered word It's never heard
One room will do for me Where every evening I can stare At someone smiling from his chair Across the floor A million miles away behind the door
Where every evening I can stare At someone smiling from his chair Across the floor A million miles away behind the door
No fears No fools No lies No rules Just doing with my life What life is for A million miles away behind the door
How Does It Feel? Composer(s): Joe Sherman; George David Weiss Performer(s): Nat King Cole
How does it feel when you find that your dreams are through? How does it feel when you know that the laugh's on you? Thought you were smart for breaking my heart When you took that exit bow Someone you met has made you forget, so who's the smart one now?
How does it feel when you find that your big romance Wasn't so real, it was only a song and dance? Maybe it's fun to kiss and then run And hurt somebody too
But how does it feel Now that it's happened to you?
But how does it feel now that it's happened to How does it feel, now that it's happened But how does it feel Now that it's happened to you?
A Million Miles Away Composer(s): David Paich Performer(s): Toto
I don't want to know the reason why you don't love me I don't want to know the reason why you don't care I don't want to know the reason why you're leavin' me I'm not the only one that lost my love way down there - way down there
I don't want to hear the reason why you don't need me I don't want to hear the reason why you don't stay I don't want to hear the reason why you're seeing him All I know is that I want you back, but you're
A million miles away and it's killin' me inside There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love When I'm a million miles away I don't want to be the reason why you don't love me And I don't want to be the reason why you don't care I don't want to be the reason why you're leavin' me I'm not the only one that lost my love
A million miles away and it's killin' me inside There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love When I'm a million miles away
He sends his love and I'm a hundred million miles away
How Do You Sleep? Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon; and various other artists
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother's eyes Those freaks was right when they said you was dead The one mistake you made was in your head Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you're gone you're just another day Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two But pretty soon they'll see what you can do The sound you make is music to my ears You must have learned something in all those years Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A Million Dreams Ago Composer(s): Lew Quadling - Eddy Howard - Dick Jurgens Performer(s): Harry Cool and multiple other artists
I can remember love's burning ember When after the laughter came tears Each word that was spoken, I kept as a token Among my souvenirs...
You told me it was so, a million dreams ago You held me in your arms, a million dreams ago So many dreams have flown, so many nights alone I guess I should have known, it couldn't be
I'll lock my mem'ries here in my heart And here in my heart they'll stay And through the years they'll always be part A part of a lovely day
Goodbye, good luck old friend I'll smile and just pretend There was no end A million dreams ago
The Show Is Over Composer(s): Petula Clark Performer(s): Petula Clark
The show is over now Our song is dying This is the end my friend There isn't any more
You played the part so well There's no denying For I believed each lie from lips that I adore I was a fool to feel that your love was real But how was I to know it was just a great big show
The stage is empty now the lights are fading and as the curtain falls my heart calls tell me why the show is over now and here am I
(I was a fool to feel that your love was real) But how was I to know it was all a great big show
The stage is empty now The lights are fading And as the curtain falls My heart calls tell me why The show is over now and here am I
