Albatross
Composer(s): Judy Collins
First release by: Judy Collins - 1967



The lady comes to the gate dressed in lavender and leather
Looking North to the sea she finds the weather fine
She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard 
All the way from town
She watches seagulls fly 
Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves
The edges of the sky

Many people wander up the hills
From all around you
Making up your memories and thinking they have found you
They cover you with veils of wonder as if you were a bride
Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried
And tell you why
And ask you why
Any way you answer

Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies
Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family
The embroid'ry of your life holds you in
And keeps you out but you survive
Imprisoned in your bones
Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes

And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea
And in the dark the hard bells ringing with pain
Come away alone

Even now by the gate with you long hair blowing
And the colors of the day that lie along your arms
You must barter your life to make sure you are living
And the crowd that has come
You give them the colors
And the bells and wind and the dream

Will there never be a prince who rides along the sea and the mountains
Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains
Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass
Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass?

Day and night and day again and people come and go away forever
While the shining summer sea dances in the glass of your mirror
While you search the waves for love and your visions for a sign
The knot of tears around your throat is crystallizing into your design

And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea
And in the dark the hard bells ringing with pain
Come away alone
Come away alone...with me

Whenever I Call You "Friend"
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Melissa Manchester
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins;
and various other artists



Whenever I call you "Friend", I begin to think I understand 
Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, ever and ever 
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all I need to show me why 
Everything I do always takes me home to you, ever and ever 
'N now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day, we can see 
In every moment there's a reason to carry on
 
Chorus: 
Sweet love's showing us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight 
See love glowing on us every night, I know forever we'll be doing it
 
chorus... right 

Whenever I call you "Friend", I believe I've come to understand 
Everywhere we are, you and I were meant to be, forever and ever 
I think about the times to come, knowing I will be the lucky one 
And ever our love will last, I always want to call you "Friend"
 
chorus 
An' now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day 
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on 

chorus 2x - doing it, doing it 

Sweet love (repeats out)... 
(You're the glowing light in my life, source of pride in my life) 
(Everything I do takes me back to you, whenever I call you friend...

Albany
Composer(s): Nick Munro - Roger Whittaker
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker; Günther Sturm



(Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen)

Dies ist Gordon McKenzies Lied
Sein Lied von Albany
dem stolzen Schloss seines Clans
das er eines Tages für immer verlieren sollte...

Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

Charles und Gordon waren zwei Brüder
sangen als Kinder die gleichen Lieder
jagten gemeinsam in den Wäldern
Doch aus Bruderliebe und Freundschaft
wurde eines Tages bittre Feindschaft
als sie sah'n, sie liebten beide dasselbe Mädchen

Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

(Frag' nach Albany, man wird dir erzählen
Einst war jeder Raum voll Leben und Licht
Geh' nach Albany, finster schau'n die Türme
Klopf an jede Tür, man öffnet dir nicht)

Charles und Gordon waren zwei Brüder
man sagte einer stach den andern nieder
doch ihren fairen Kampf sah keiner
Wie ein Mörder musste Gordon fliehen
kein McKenzie hat ihm je verziehen
rastlos zieht er nun umher, findet keinen Frieden

Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

Oh, ho, ho Albany
hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Oh, ho, ho, Albany
ja in deinen Mauern da war ich zu haus
Oh, mein Albany
könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

Oh, ho, ho Albany
hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Oh, ho, ho, Albany
ja in deinen Mauern da war ich zu Haus . . .

Whenever He Holds You
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro



Take your little heart
Tear it all apart
Make the teardrops fall
From your eyes
And you'll know how I feel
When he holds you
Whenever he holds you

Pretend no one loves you
Make believe you're blue

And if you get an empty feeling deep inside
Then you'll know how I feel
When he holds you
Whenever he holds you

My friends say forget you
I know I should try
But whenever he holds you, I feel I could die

But if you ever find
That I'm still on your mind
Maybe you'll come back to my arms

Till then I'll cry
When he holds you
Whenever he holds you

Albanta
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
vuelan las alas del agua
como palomas de escarcha
y el mar no es azul
sino el vuelo de tu imaginación
en Albanta

Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
las nubes callan palabras
y el cielo no dice nada
y el sol es un sol
transparente como tu corazón
en Albanta

Que aquí, tú ya lo ves
es Albanta al revés

Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
las ciencias no son exactas
porque es eterna la infancia
y el fin no es el fin
porque no acaba lo que no empezó
en Albanta

Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
no existen hombres que mandan
porque no existen fantasmas
y amar es la flor
más perfecta que crece en tu jardín
en Albanta

Que aquí, tú ya lo ves
es Albanta al revés

Whenever God Shines His Light
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison;
and various other artists



Whenever God shines his light on me
Open up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
Then I know everythings gonna be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him, he is there
When I am lonely, as I can be
Then I know that God shines his light on me
Reach out for him, he'll be there
With him, your troubles, you can share
If you live the life you love
You get the blessings from above.
Heals the sick, and heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus' name
And he lifts you up, and he turns you around
And he puts your feet back, on higher grounds...

Albachiara
Composer(s): Vasco Rossi
First release by: Vasco Rossi - 1979



Respiri piano per non far rumore
ti addormenti di sera e ti risvegli col sole
sei chiara come l'alba
sei fresca come l'aria
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
e sei fantastica quando sei assorta
nei tuoi problemi, nei tuoi pensieri

Ti vesti svogliatamente
non metti mai niente che possa attirare attenzione
un particolare, solo per farti guardare

E con la faccia pulita cammini per strada
mangiando una mela, coi libri di scuola
ti piace studiare
non te ne devi vergognare

E quando guardi con quegli occhi grandi
forse un po' troppo sinceri...sinceri
si vede quello che pensi, quello che sogni
e qualche volta fai pensieri strani
e con una mano, una mano ti sfiori
tu sola dentro una stanza
e tutto il mondo fuori

When You've Got What It Takes
Composer(s): Bill Lane; Roger Nichols
Performer(s): The Carpenters



You've got nothing to hide
You've got miles of feeling
And acres of pride
You've got it
You've really got it

When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You live what you can
And it's good when you've really got it
And when you've got it

(chorus)
Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you'vegot what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

When you've sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it

You begin to believe
You'll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it

Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it
When you've got it everyday

Alaska & Me
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver



When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Somehow I knew I'd live there one day
Well it took me some growin', and a fair bit of schoolin'
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
When I came to Alaska the land that I love

Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

I was born in a cabin on Little Mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin'
I knew that I'd wind up a bush pilot's wife

We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
And wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
And we face every day like the first or the last one
With nothin' to lose and heaven to gain

Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

Oh, for the fire on a cold winters night
And once more to gaze at the great northern lights
For all of the beauty my children will see
Here's to Alaska and me
Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

When You're Young And In Love
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): The Marvelettes



(Young and in love)
(Young and in love)

Spring in the air (filled with love)
There's magic ev'rywhere
When you're young and in love

Life seems to be (just a dream)
A world of fantasy
When you're young and in love

Each night seems just like the Fourth of July
When stars spangle the sky

The moon at night (shines so bright)
Seems to shine twice as bright
When you're young and in love

Ooh, dreams can come true (try a dream)
If you believe they do
When you're young and in love

Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love

(Look and you'll find)
Ooh, ooh yeah
(There's no mountain you can't climb)
When you're young and in love

Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love

(Young and in love)
So in love
(Young and in love)
Oh, yeah

(Young and in love)
I feel so good

Alas, Alas
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Una lluvia de almendras
dos trenzas diminutas
tres parapentes blancos
cuatro cestas de frutas

Cinco copas de hierro
seis recuerdos heridos
siete caminos largos
ocho lirios partidos

Nueve mareas altas
diez sorbos de cerveza
once alquimistas ciegos
doce encinas que rezan

Un día nos regala
como yo a tí te regalo ahora
alas, alas

Trece viernes de dicha
catorce desconocidos
quince perfumes limpios
dieciséis horas de olvido

Diecisiete reyes de oro
dieciocho decisiones
diecinueve caballeros
con veinte preocupaciones

Veintiuna albercas de agua
con veintidós pensamientos
veintitrés pasos perdidos
veinticuatro sentimientos

Un día nos regala
como yo a ti te regalo ahora
alas, alas

Alas
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Cuando estés, cansada de seguir
sola, y a nadie importes ya
sola, entre la gente
sola, y al borde de llorar
Abriré, mis alas sobre ti
cruzaré, por ti la tempestad
venceré, todos tus miedos
y entre mis brazos, volarás
Vuela, yo iré detrás de ti
vuela, cuando no puedas más
vuela, sobre tus lágrimas
vuela, sobre tu soledad
Alas, que inventaré por ti
alas, de sueños y de amor
alas, llenas de vida
que alejarán de ti el dolor

When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman
Composer(s): Even Stevens
Performer(s): Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show



When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know it's hard
Everybody wants her, everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends
You know that it's crazy, you want to trust her
And then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is, I've been fooled before
By fair weathered friends and faint hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies
Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends

Moi je suis le grand Génie

Méchants, capables du pire

When you're in love life will be, but a song
Heaven above yours will be ever long
Your soul will be aflame with madness you can't tame

The magic of girl and boy yours at last
And then each day will be like spring
Your heart will start to sing, when you're in love

The magic of girl and boy yours at last
And then each day will be like spring
Your heart will start to sing, when you're in love

Aladdin's Lamp
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): Gene Pitney



When I find Aladdin`s lamp some day 
I`ll rub the lamp and when the smoke clears away 
I`ll ask the genie grant me my one wish come true 
That the girl I love would only love me too 
 
I`ve heard that in days of old 
The lamp did whatever it was told 
So when I find that thing 
I`m wishing her a wedding ring 

I won`t ask for gold or wealth or fame 
I`m searching for a way to change her name 
I`ll ask for her lips (her lips), her arms (her arms) gotta hold her tight 
Oh tell where on earth is Aladdin`s lamp tonight

When You're Hot, You're Hot
Composer(s): Jerry Reed
Performer(s): Jerry Reed



Well me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
And I kept rollin' them sevens , winnin' all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong
I jest kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
And finally they jest threw up their hands and said
"When you hot, you hot"
I said "Yeah?"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
Put all the money in and let's roll 'em again
When you're hot, you're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)

Well, now every time I rolled them dice I'd win
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again
When I heard somethin' behind me
I turned around and there was a big old cop
He said "Hello, boys" and then he gave us a grin 'n' said
"Look like I'm gonna hafta haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence"
I said, "Well, son when you hot, you hot"
He said "Yeah"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
You can 'splain it all down at City Hall
I say, yeah, when you're hot, you're hot
You're hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you're hot, you're hot)

Well, when he took us into court I couldn't believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
I said "Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal"
"I'll pay ya that hundred I owe ya if you'll get me outta this spot"
So he gave my friends a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said
"Ninety days, Jerry, when you hot, you hot"
'n' I said "Thanks a lot"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not
He let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said "Well, when you're hot, you're hot"

I said "well I'll tell ya one thing judge, old buddy, old pal"
"If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd take out in back of this courthouse
"And I'd try a little bit of your honor on"
"You understand that, you hillbilly?"
"Who gonna collect my welfare?"
(When you're hot, you're hot")
"Pay for my Cadillac?"
Whadda you mean 'contempt of court'?"
(When you're hot, you're hot")
"Judge"
"Oh Judge"
"Judgie Poo!!"

When you're hot, you're hot
And when you're not, you're not

I had a strange exciting dream last night

I was a wanderer with no love in sight
When all at once I saw his magic light
Aladdin standing there

He asked me if I had a wish to make
I thought of you and knew the wish I`d take
He rubbed his lamp and then he said `Awake`
Aladdin I`m on my way

I`ve come to tell you of my love
He said that you care too
Now in your arms
I know he`s right
He made it all come true

I`d like to meet him in a dream tonight
And give my thanks for showing me the light
I`d like to tell him he was oh so right
Aladdin now she`s mine

I`ve come to tell you of my love
He said that you care too
Now in your arms
I know he`s right
He made it all come true

I`d like to meet him in a dream tonight
And give my thanks for showing me the light
I`d like to tell him he was oh so right
Aladdin now she`s mine

When You're Good You're Lonesome
Composer(s): Grace Doro
Performer(s): Edythe Baker



I feel so sad and lonely I wish I knew just why 
Every one is happy
While all I do is sigh
I walk the straight and narrow path 
I'm good as I can be
Maybe that's just what is wrong
For it seems to me

My mother always told me "Be very, very good" 
I took her advice
Like a good child always should
I went to bed at eight o'clock 
But what did that get me? 
I have missed an awful lot
Now I plainly see

When you are good, you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue 
Sometimes it seems very hard to believe 
Every dark cloud has a silver lining 
I think it'll get me a sweetie who'll make a fuss over me
Just love and pet me all the day
Then I'll never have to say 
When you are good you're so lonesome
And when you're lonesome you're blue
