Alberta's Child
Composer(s): Ian Tyson
Performer(s): Ian Tyson



Well, them old boys down in Texas chew Copenhagen
Wash it all down with that Coors
Ain't a bit bashful about speakin' their minds
They'll tell you what's theirs and what's yours
There's Waylon and there's Willie, they own about half the state
And sing of her glories all in song
Talk about your lovers and your fighters wild brahma bull riders
The whole thing take a holt and goes on

Ride with me, Jesus, help me pull this heavy load
Don't let her slip, don't let her slide
You answer all our questions further down this muddy road
Old cowboys cross the Great Divide

Well, up north it's saddle broncs and it's hockey and honky tonks
Old Wilf Carter 78's
Dumb stuff like chores when it's twenty below
They're the things that a country boy hates
Too much damn wind and not enough whiskey
Drives them ol' northern boys flat wild
And he may go to Hell, or even Vancouver
He'll always be Alberta's child

Ride with me, Jesus, help me pull this heavy load
Don't let her slip, don't let her slide
You answer all our questions further down this muddy road
Old cowboys cross the Great Divide

Where Are You Now (My Love)
Composer(s): Tony Hatch; Jackie Trent
Performer(s): Jackie Trent



La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

When shadows of evening gently fall
The memory of you I soon recall
We walked in the rain
You kissed me, whispered my name
Where are you now my love
Where are you now my love

Life was fine, full of the wonder of the spring
You taught me that love meant everything
I gave you my heart
Not dreaming we'd ever part
Where are you now my love
Where are you now my love

While I'm sitting here I'm wondering what went wrong
You'll find your empty arms will tell you, you belong to me
You'll come to me

And see how I've been waiting every day
Just hoping that you'll come back to stay
But I don't know when
I'll ever see you again
Where are you now my love
Where are you now my love

La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la
La,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la

Alberta Bound
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
and multiple other artists



Oh the prairie lights are burnin' bright
The Chinook wind is a-movin' in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
Though I've done the best I could
My old luck ain't been so good and
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound
No one-eyed man could e'er forget
The Rocky Mountain sunset
It's a pleasure just to be Alberta bound
I long to see my next of kin
To know what kind of shape they're in
Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound

Alberta bound, Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound
Alberta bound, Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound

Oh the skyline of Toronto
Is somethin' you'll get onto
But they say you've got to live there for a while
And if you got the money
You can get yourself a honey
A written guarantee ta make you smile
But it's snowin' in the city
And the streets and brown and gritty
And I know there's pretty girls all over town
But they never seem ta find me
And the one I left behind me
Is the reason that I'll be Alberta bound

Alberta bound, Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound
Alberta bound, Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound
It's good to be Alberta bound

Where Are You Now?
Performer(s): Jimmy Harnen



All alone tonight, I'm calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love take me back in time

I don't know how it started or why it ever had to end
But something stepped inside we didn't let it in
It's keeping us apart, where are you now

Chorus:
Where are you now? Is someone there tonight
Holding what was mine?
Where are you now? Do you wonder where I am
Are you really feelin' fine?

Goin' through my life without you by my side
You're the only thing that keeps goin' through my mind
And nothin' that I do can take the place of you

Chorus

Oooh, thinkin' about you, girl
There's gotta be a place for me
Somewhere in your heart

All alone tonight, I'm calling out your name
Somewhere deep inside this part of you remains
Images of love, where are you now?

Chorus

Where are you now? Is someone there tonight
Holding what was mine?
Where are you now? Do you wonder where I am
I need you here tonight

Where'd you stay last night?
Alberta, Alberta
Where'd you stay last night?
Come home this morning
Clothes don't fit you right
Alberta, Alberta
Girl, you're on my mind
Alberta, Alberta
Girl, you're on my mind

Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending 
Where are you
Where are you

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel
And baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

It was a cold, snowy, rainy afternoon
And we were sittin' there in high school, my school
And Michael was a moonbeam maker
And Michael was a moonbeam maker

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel, oh no
Baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

Where Am I? (Am I In Heaven?)

Performer(s): James Melton;
and various other artists



I was a dreamer but I didn't even venture
to think someone like you could care
Now life has turned into a beautiful adventure
I never knew that life on earth could be so fair

Where am I, am I in heaven
or am I really with you
Who are you, are you an angel
Or just a dream that's too good to be true

Can moonlight be so enchanting
Can kisses be so divine
Where am I, am I in heaven
Can it be true that you are mine

Can moonlight be so enchanting
Can kisses be so divine
Where am I, am I in heaven
Can it be true that you are mine

Albert, en smart liten kille han
Brås han på pappa blir lilleman
Snille han
En gång ska han tacka far och mor
För att han blev så berömd och stor

När han blir stor ska han minnas oss
När han blir stor ska han banne mej
Påminnas oss
Vi som gjort så mycket, far och son
Vi som hållit bössen härifrån

Albert, han har esprit
Ni är i vägen ni
Vi är föräldrar och han är geni
Albert är begåvad
Hans sällskap måste sovras
Albert måste sova
Om Albert ska förkovras
Albert är begåvad
För det han lektorn lovat

Innan han släppt sina modersband
Måste han först ro sin båt iland
Bli fil. kand.
När han blir ett världsberömt geni
Får han alla flickors sympati

Albert, han har esprit
Ni är i vägen ni
Vi är föräldrar och han är geni
Albert är en kille
Som äger smak och snille
Albert är bäst och störst
Albert är alltid först
Albert, han fick stora A
Albert, han är för bra

Whenever, Wherever

Performer(s): Shakira



Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence

Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody

Le do le le le le 
Le do le le le le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet?

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together!
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal, my dear!

Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run to cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le do le le le le 
Le do le le le le
At your feet
I'm at your feet!

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But,that's the deal my dear

Le do le le le le 
Le do le le le le
Think out loud
Say it again

Le do le le le le le le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heals
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heals
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel!

Talent Is An Asset
((Swedish Version: Albert Är Begavad (by Ola Magnell))
Composer(s): Ron Mael
Performer(s): Sparks



Albert is smart, he's a genius
Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius
Someday he will reassess the world
And he'll still have time for lots of girls

When he grows up he'll remember us
When he grows up we are sure that he'll remember us

We made sure that Albert wore his mac
We kept all the strangers off his back

(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert's mother say to me)
We are his relatives and he don't need any non- relatives

Talent is an asset
You've got to understand that
Talent is an asset
And little Albert has it
Talent is an asset
And Albert surely has it

One day he'll sever his apron strings
All of the while he'll be scribbling things, genius things
Look at Albert, isn't he a sight
Growing, growing at the speed of light

(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert's mother say to me)
We are his relatives and he don't need any non- relatives

Talent is an asset
And little Albert has it

Talent is relative
That's hypothetical
We are his relatives
That's parenthetical
Spare your superlatives
There's the receptacle
There's the receptacle

Leave Albert's study room
Leave Albert's happy room
Leave Albert's neighbourhood
Leave Albert's city, too
Leave Albert's country seat
Leave Albert's coun-rer-y
Leave Albert's continent
Leave Albert's hemisphere
Leave Albert's planet, too
Leave Albert's universe

No one must see him now
Only the medical
No one must downgrade him
Don't be to cynical
Don't be to critical
Cancel the magazines
They're much to political
Don't buy him any jeans
They're much to casual
Talent is relative
We are his relatives
That's parenthetical

Whenever I Say Your Name
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting; Mary J. Blige



Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something's gonna change
Something's gonna change

Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say your name, I'm already praying, I'm already praying
I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever this world has got me down, whenever I shed a tear
Whenever the TV makes me mad, whenever I'm paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever I lose the reason why
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Whenever the sun refuse to shine, whenever the skies are pouring rain
Whatever I lost I thought was mine whenever I close my eyes in pain
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever this dark begins to fall
Whenever I'm vulnerable and small
Whenever I feel like I could die
Whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
I'm already praying
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever I say your name
No matter how long it takes
One day we'll be together

Whenever I say your name
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever

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", I begin to think I understand 
Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, 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

And ever our love will last, I always want to call you "Friend"

An' now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day

(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
