All My Ex's Live In Texas Composer(s): Sanger D. Schafer - Lyndia Shafer Performer(s): George Strait
All my ex's live in Texas and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be but all my ex's live in Texas and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana wanted me to push her broom Sweet EileenÕs in Abilene She forgot I hung the moon and Allison & Otilde's in Galveston somehow lost her sanity and Dimple & Otilde's who now lives in Temple's got the law looking for me
All my ex's live in Texas and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be but all my ex's live in Texas and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
I remember that old Frio River where I learned to swim but it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin By transcendental meditation I go there each night but I always come back to myself long before daylight
All my ex's live in Texas and Texas is the place Id dearly love to be but all my ex's live in Texas therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hidin' It's been rumored that I died but I'm alive and well in Tennessee
Agualuna Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Creo en el padre y en el hombre pero no creo en el mar ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? en las mareas sobreviven las ballenas con radar ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
Hay una niña que hoy empieza con muñecas a jugar ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? desde el cielo la vigila una estrella de metal
Por qué a la Luna se la juegan como en mesa de billar ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? unos arriba, otros abajo, nadie quiere la mitad ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
Y de qué lado quedaremos cuando llegue el final ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? éntrate niña que allá afuera el invierno va a llegar
Un marinero llamado Colón viajó de la noche al sol y un astronauta que ayer jubiló se sienta en la plaza su tiempo se escapa del cielo lo mira un gorrión.
En la mitad de este viaje hoy me pongo a pensar ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? la diferencia es tan grande entre un sueño y la verdad ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
Allá en lo alto está volando el valiente Superman ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? mas abajo un campesino busca tierra pa´ sembrar
Creo en el padre y en el hombre pero creo más en ti ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? siento que existe un horizonte que comienza en tu jardín ¿Por qué? ¿por qué?
Allá en tu patio hay una niña que hoy empieza a caminar ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? Por qué la noche se hace corta cuando aún quiero soñar
When April Comes Again Composer(s): Doris Schaefer; Randy Weston Performer(s): Mel Tormé; and various other artists
If you can't remember now, if love has lost its way If romance grows dim with each passing day If you've forgotten how we met in April rain Wait 'til April comes again
When robins return, and spring has softened winter's chill Will you then recall? Will your heart stand still? Will you remember how we met in April rain? Love me when April comes again
Will you remember how we met in April rain? And love me when April comes? It may not come for long I will always love you when April comes again
Agua Dulce, Agua Sala Composer(s): Hal Batt - Estéfano Donato Performer(s): Julio Iglesias and multiple other artists
Con el pasar de los años he aprendido en la vida que se vive intensamente porque si no te termina... ...el cariño es más bueno Se aprecia lo que se tiene y se respeta lo ajeno Agua dulce, agua sala´, por agua viene, por agua se va... ...Bendita la vida, te quita te da Agua que cae del cielo sobre las olas del mar yo te quiero beber dulce y tú te pones salá... ...hay que dar bien los pasos tomar el mejor camino aunque se te haga el más largo... ...de las penas se aprende El corazón se hace duro y el sentimiento más fuerte...
When Angels Cry Composer(s): Janis Ian Performer(s): Janis Ian
Wait Your tired arms must rest Let this moment pass Wait until the morning Close your eyes and let me see who you used to be Left without a warning Who knew one so big could grow so small Lighter than the writing on the wall
When angels cry, can I stand by When stones weep, can my heart sleep Wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard The power of a four-letter word
Only love will matter in the end For woman or for man What's the difference now? Here, we live with bottles and needles and truth Here is your living proof that death cannot be proud Some say it's a judgement on us all I can't believe that God could be that small
When angels cry, can I stand by When stones weep, can my heart sleep Wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard Wish I'd never heard The power of a four-letter word
If ever was a heart that longed to fly If ever was a soul that longed to bloom If ever was an angel, it was you So close your eyes and say goodbye Goodbye
When angels cry, I can't stand by When stones weep, my heart can't sleep Guess I've finally learned Guess I've finally learned Yes, I've finally learned Love is just a four letter word Hope is just a four letter word
Agua De La Luna Composer(s): De Benedictis Fandermole Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Como si cerrara los ojos hasta el final de los oceanos pensare que tengo descanso de hacerme polvo de estos sueños que en la calle hay luna piedra que un dia podre nombrar Agua de la luna agua de la luna
Preguntare de vida en vida de quien serian esos ojos y aquella piel apenas vista en un recuerdo a medio borrar una sed absurda que nunca nadie pudo calmar Agua de la luna agua de la luna
Tenemos nombres tan remotos y la mirada hecha del mismo material de los espejos que caen hacia los dos abismos. no se soy quien queda o el recuerdo del que ya se fue agua de la luna quiero agua de la luna para esta sed agua de luna agua de la luna quien podra beber agua de la luna agua de la luna, imposible
When A Woman Loves A Man Composer(s): Mark Luna; Rafe VanHoy Performer(s): Lee Roy Parnell
She plays her cards close to the vest To hide the heart she wears on her sleeve Sometimes she's caught between the woman that she is and the one she's expected to be But with an innocent smile And the should of a child She's always giving more than she can
When a woman loves a man When a woman loves a man
She knows how to hang on your every word And she knows how to look the other way She'll whisper to you what no man has heard Secrets she would never give away
With her arms opened wide She'll take you inside And hold you in the palm of her hand
When a woman loves a man When a woman loves a man She will be there to the end When a woman loves a man
And when all you've got to give her Is nothing more than a dream She'll sacrifice for love to prove to you Her mind's made up To stand by you through everything
When a woman loves a man When a woman loves a man She will be there to the end When a woman loves a man

When A Woman Loves A Man Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Bernard Hanighen; Gordon Jenkins Performer(s): Dinah Washington; and various other artists
Maybe he's not much Just another man, doing what he can But what does she care when a woman loves a man?
She'll just string along All through thick and thin till his ship comes in That's how it goes when a woman loves a man
She'll be the first one to praise him when he's goin' strong The last one to blame him when ev'rything is wrong It's such a one-sided game that they play But women are funny that way
Tell her she's a fool She'll say yes, I know, but I love him so That's how it goes when a woman loves a man

Your love is rain
My heart the flower
I need your love or I will die
My very life is your power
Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
The rain can fall
On distant deserts
The rain can fall upon the sea
The rain can fall upon the flower
Since the rain has to fall let it fall on me
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Agua Clara Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - Ross Cullum - Sandy McLelland Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Agua Clara pa beber de mi mano te daré Agua Clara pa beber
Fuente Pura que ha escapao con Arroyo del Edén van tocaos en el costao...
Agua Pura al río va se le entrubia la mira ¡qué fatiga en su caudal!
Agua Clara que me envenena este amor que se me enciende y me quema Ay! mi corazón
Luna se quiere espejar yo, clamar mi sed ni ella se puede mirar ni yo beber novia con cola de pez que inquietante es turbia y serena a la vez siento que es...
Agua Clara que me envenena este amor que se me enciende y me quema Agua Clara, lluvia de mayo es un aguamor que me ahoga despacio Agua Clara que me envenena Ay! mi corazón
Agua Clara pa beber de mi mano no podré darte el agua pa beber
Agua Clara que me envenena este amor que se me enciende y me quema Agua Clara me arde en las venas este amor se va hacia el mar de la pena Ay! mi corazón
When A Man Loves A Woman Composer(s): Calvin Lewis; Andrew Wright Performer(s): Percy Sledge
When a man loves a woman Can't keep his mind on nothin' else He'd change the world for the good thing he's found If she is bad, he can't see it She can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down When a man loves a woman He'll spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what he needs He'd give up all his comforts And sleep out in the rain If she said that's the way It ought to be Well, this man loves you, woman I gave you everything I have Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood long Baby, please don't treat me bad When a man loves a woman Down deep in his soul She can bring him such misery If she is playin' him for a fool He's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can never see When a man loves a woman he can do her no wrong he can never hug some other girl Yes, when a man loves a woman I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, you're When a man loves a woman....
Agricultural Irish Girl Composer(s): J.F. Mitchell Performer(s): Val Doonican
If all the girls in Ireland Were gathered up together There's none like my Mary Ann In every kind of weather The rain won't wash the powder off her face She doesn't wear it And her figure and face are all her own The truth I must declare it
She's a fine stout lump Of agricultural Irish girl Her face is worth a fortune And her figure is all her own She can strike that hard you would think That you were hit by the kick of a mule But the full of a house of Irish love Is Mary Ann Malone
She was never e-d-u-cated She doesn't know her letters But she's all a lady wants my boys And better than her betters She doesn't speak ital-i-an Or read the sporting papers But she knows the horse will win the race She knows the form by jabers
She was only seventeen last year But still she's growing greatly I wonder what her form will be When she fills out completely You's think your hand was in a vice The minute that she'd take it And if there's any cake at hand Tis Mary Ann will ate it
She's a fine stout lump Of agricultural Irish girl Her face is worth a fortune And her figure is all her own She can strike that hard you would think That you were hit by the kick of a mule But the full of a house of Irish love Is Mary Ann Malone
For she's a fine stout lump Of an agricultural Irish girl Her face is worth a fortune And her figure is all her But she can hit that hard....Oooh You'ld think it the kick of a mule you got The fill of your arms of Irish love Is Mary Ann Malone
When A Guitar Plays The Blues Performer(s): Albert Collins
You get the strangest kinda feelin' that's when the guitar plays the blues I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin' that's when a guitar plays the blues Your body gets the message and you know, you know, your soul has just got to move
You might even bat your eye You might even snap or cry The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe You know you just can't hide
You're kinda strokin' like that You're kinda bendin' like this And it reaches down inside you And your soul just can't resist You get the same kinda feelin' When the guitar plays the blues Your body sure gets the message Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move
And when the music is over And it's time to turn out the lights You know the blues goes home with ya Soothes you through the night
You get the strange kinda feelin' When the guitar plays the blues Your body gets the message And you know, you know, you know Your soul has just got to move
Agora falando sério Eu queria não cantar A cantiga bonita Ue se acredita Que o mal espanta Dou um chute no lirismo Um pega no cachorro E um tiro no sabiá Dou um fora no violino Faço a mala e corro Pra não ver a banda passar
Agora falando sério Eu queria não mentir Não queria enganar Driblar, iludir Tanto desencanto E você que está me ouvindo Quer saber o que está havendo Com as flores do meu quintal? O amor-perfeito, traindo A sempre-viva, morrendo E a rosa, cheirando mal
Agora falando sério Preferia não falar Nada que distraísse O sono difícil Como acalanto Eu quero fazer silêncio Um silêncio tão doente Do vizinho reclamar E chamar polícia e médico E o síndico do meu prédio Pedindo pra eu cantar
Agora falando sério Eu queria não cantar Falando sério
Agora falando sério Preferia não falar Falando sério
When A Boy Falls In Love Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Clinton Levert Jr. Performer(s): Sam Cooke
I've heard them say love was a wonderful thing Something you couldn't hide on a shelf But to me they no longer have to explain Because I know for myself
He awakens each morn with a smile on his face When a boy is in love and the world to him is a beautiful place When a boy is in love
He's up and he's gone, there's no breakfast for him 'Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem The days are through, though it's not very long Before he must talk to his girl on the phone That's how it is when a boy falls in love
His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight When a boy is in love If there's been any darkness and all face from sight When a boy is in love
He can hardly wait till the moment they meet For he knows when he sees her, his day will be complete When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip That's how it is when a boy falls in love
At the end of the day the time comes they must part The strains of regret tear away at his heart and late in the night, as he sleeps in his bed Visions of her sweet charm, how they dance in his head & before you know, he is buying a ring To capture forever that sweet darlin' thing That's how it is when a boy falls in love
Agnese Composer(s): Ivan Graziani - Di I. Elaborazione Performer(s): Ivan Graziani
Se la mia chitarra piange dolcemente stasera non è sera di vedere gente e i giochi nella strada che ho chiusi dentro al petto mi voglio ricordare
Io penso ad un barcone rovesciato al sole in un giorno in pieno agosto le biciclette in riva al mare Agnese mi parlava e la sabbia era infuocata ed io non so perché non l'ho dimenticata
Lei mi raccontava di quello che la gente diceva del suo corpo con malizia ed allegria ed io che sto provando le cose che provavo ieri non ho capito ancora se è gelosia se sono prigioniero di questo cielo nero e di un ricordo che fa male e se continuo a bere i miei liquori inquinati è vero che quei giorni non li ho dimenticati
E' uscito un po' di sole da questo cielo nero l'inverno cittadino sembra quasi uno straniero Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata adesso che ci penso non ti ho mai baciata
Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata adesso che ci penso
Io vado in bicicletta per sentirmi vivo alle 5 di mattina con la nebbia nei polmoni però non c'è più Agnese seduta sul manubrio a cantar canzoni a cantar canzoni
When A Blind Man Cries Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan; Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice Performer(s): Deep Purple; and various other artists
If you're leaving, close the door I'm not expecting people anymore Hear me greaving, lying on the floor Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man And my world is pale When a blind man cries Lord you know there ain't no sadder tale
Had a friend once, in a room Had a good time, but it ended much to soon In a cold month, in that room Found a reason for the things we had to do
I'm a blind, I'm a blind man Now my world is cold When a blind man cries Lord you know he feels it from his soul
Agnes Composer(s): Mark Avsec - Ierace Performer(s): Donnie Iris
We were standing on the corner one night Me and Agnes She had these tight jeans on And these high shoes Bad
It was a warm September night Wind was blowin' through the trees This dude Louie was looking for a fight
He knocked me down with all his might
He put a gun up to my head Stay away from her or you'll be dead Don't you ever see that girl he said
Agnes was a waitress at our bar Louie said she'd never go too far Louie didn't see her in my car Louie didn't see her in my car After that fight at Louie's bar
Yeah Agnes Caused you all this sadness (He didn't know that you were out of your mind) What you did was madness (He didn't know it was the end of the line) Someday we're gonna pay (He had it coming to him) We gotta watch out (Watch out) There's been talk about (I didn't know that you were out of your mind) Soon they're gonna find out (I didn't know it was the end of the line) What we did that day Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
She got off work at 2 o'clock We drove away so we could talk We didn't see Louie in the dark
Louie pulled me out onto the ground Then I saw Louie start to run He didn't know she had his gun (He didn't know she had his gun) I didn't know she had his gun
Oh-oh Agnes He caused you all this sadness (He didn't know that you were out of your mind) It was madness (He didn't know it was the end of the line) We're gonna pay (He had it coming to him) Oh oh we have to watch out (Watch out) You know there's been alotta talk about (I didn't know that you were out of your mind) Someday soon they're gonna find out (I didn't know it was the end of the line) You better never look back (He had it coming to him) Baby don't look back We got to run now Baby throw away the gun now (He didn't know that you were out of your mind) Baby baby baby it's tough now Someday we're gonna pay
