Alguien que te entrega vida, alma y corazón Y que nada en cambio va a pedir Alguien para quien tú eres razón de su existir Alguien que se muere sin tu amor Alguien que en la palma de sus manos escondió Miles de caricias para ti Ese alguien soy yo, ese alguien soy yo, nadie más Si no me crees, te desafío A ver quién sabe amar mejor A ver quién quiere más Quién quiere a otro más Seguro que te gano yo Alguien que ha jurado no olvidarte ante una cruz Cueste lo que cueste, serte fiel Alguien que ahora llora o ríe, tal como hagas tú Porque ha puesto en ti toda su fe Alguien que a la hora de su muerte, ya verás Es tu nombre lo que gritará Ese alguien soy yo, ese alguien soy yo, nadie más

Where is the love (Where is the love) Where is the love (Where is the love) Where is the love (Where is the love) Where is the love (Where is the love)
Where is the love You said youd give to me Soon as you were free Will it ever be Where is the love
You told me that you didnt love him And you were gonna say goodbye But if you really didnt mean it Why did you have to lie
Where is the love You said was mine all mine Till the end of time Was it just a lie Where is the love
If you have had a sudden change of heart I wish that you would tell me so Dont leave me hangin on to promises Youve got to let me know
Oh, how I wish I never met you I guess it must have been my fate To fall in love with someone elses love All I can do is wait Thats all I can do, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sé que estoy en la fila Hasta que te decidas A pasar una noche conmigo Y si nos fuéramos a bailar sé que puede ocurrir que no te vayas conmigo
Y más tarde quedarnos en un lugar tranquilo y tomar un trago o dos Y luego lo arruino todo diciendo algo tonto como "Te quiero"
Puedo verlo en tus ojos Que desprecias las mismas viejas mentiras que escuchaste la noche anterior
Y aunque esta es un fila para tí Para mí es verdad Y nunca pareció tan real antes
Practico día a día Para hallar frases inteligentes Que muestren el significado Pero luego pienso en esperar hasta que llegue la noche y me quede a solas contigo
El momento es el indicado tu perfume envuelve mi cabeza las estrellas se enrojecen y oh, la noche es tan azul Y luego lo arruino todo diciendo algo tonto como "Te quiero" ...
Where Is My Wandering Girl Tonight? Composer(s): Dave Manley
The scene is a lonely cottage that once was bright and gay Where a mother dear is waiting for the girl that went away Each minute seemed an hour, each hour seems a year each moment brings a thought of her
each thought just brings a tear Tears mingle with her sighs Where is my girl she cries
Just think of you darling mother Just think of her tonight Return if you are wandering Her love is your guiding light No matter what the past dear No matter what the shame What even if the world does jeer She loves you just the same Leave all the glare and light She prays for you tonight
Where is my wandering girl tonight Oh where oh where can she be She left the old home for the bright city lights Please send her back to me Tell her I am growing old And I soon will pass away For there's no place like home Oh where is my girlie my child tonight
Algo Más Que Un Amigo Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Algo más que un amigo Era yo para ti Era yo para ti Algo más que un amigo Algo más que un amigo Tú lo sabes muy bien No lo quieras fingir No comprendo por qué Los amigos no lloran Cuando un día el destino Separa sus vidas Y yo te vi llorar Cuando nos despedimos Algo más que una simple amistad Porque tú me besabas Con algo que llaman amor de verdad Algo más que una simple amistad Porque a veces hablando Veía en tus ojos la felicidad Algo más, mucho más Algo más que un amigo Los amigos no saben Los grandes secretos Que yo oí de tu voz Algo más que un amigo Los amigos no pasan Las noches que juntos Pasamos tú y yo Los amigos no lloran Cuando un día el destino Separa sus vidas Y yo te vi llorar Cuando nos despedimos
Where Is My Castle Composer(s): Dallas Frazier Performer(s): Connie Smith; Dallas Frazier; Kitty Wells
More than once I've cried because impatience let me down I could see the gold before the gold was found And everytime I've trusted love to lead me by the hand It circled back and left me where I stand Where is my castle where is my destiny how much longer will I have to dream Where is my sunshine where is my valley where is the love that's meant for me
The next time I cross over that old bridge I'm gonna stay I don't care if the river washes it away 'Cause I'm not gonna take one step until the day I find A man with a faithful heart and a made up mind Where is my castle...
Alfie ((Swedish Version: Alfie (by Sylvia Vrethammar) - 1969)) Composer(s): Burt Baccharach - Hal David First release by: Cilla Black - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, Alfie then I guess it's wise to be cruel And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie what will you lend on an old golden rule? As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie I know there's something much more something even non-believers can believe in I believe in love, Alfie Without true love we just exist, Alfie Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie When you walk let your heart lead the way and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie

(Mrs. Soweberry): Right then, Oliver Twist your bed's underneath the counter You don't mind sleeping among coffins I suppose? It don't much matter whether you do or you don't cause you can't sleep nowhere else!
(Oliver): Where is love? Does it fall from skies above? Is it underneat the willow tree That I've been dream of? Where is she? Who I close my eyes to see? Will I ever know the sweet "hello" That's only meant for me? Who can say where she may hide? Must I travel far and wide? 'Til I am bedside the someone who I can mean somethin to ... Where...? Where is love?
Who can say where...she may hide? Must I travel...far and wide? 'Til I am beside...the someone who I can mean...something to... Where? Where is love?
Don't Talk To Me
Composer(s): Milt Gabler - Bert Kaempfert - Herbert Rehbein
Performer(s): Vikki Carr; Bert Kaempfert; Wayne Newton
Don't talk to me of loves you have known
Don't talk to me of years that have flown
Each whispered word reminds me
Tomorrow night will find me
With no-one to sweet-talk me!
Don't talk to me of heaven above
Don't talk to me unless it's of love!
My heart won't need a reason
And words are out of season
So kiss me more and don't talk to me!
My heart won't need a reason
And words are out of season
So kiss me more
Oh kiss me more
So kiss me more and don't talk to me!
Come on and kiss me more!
Don't talk to me!
Just kiss me more
Don't talk to me!
Where In The World Composer(s): Ray Austin; Paul Herrick; Freddy Martin Performer(s): Anne Shelton
Do you mind if I ask you some questions Questions that explain this lovely glow
Where in the world can a sunbeam at noon Take the place of the moon And where in the world can the stars of the skies Shine in two lovely eyes
And where did I first find the answer to my prayer May I remind you that you were there
Oh where in the world can a touch of the lips Bring a total eclipse of cares in the world And the future for two is the one thing in view And where can I be sure that all my dreams come true Oh where in the world, only with you
Don't Take Away Your Love Performer(s): Johnny Nash
Take away the autumn leaves Take away the summer breeze But don't take away, don't take away your love Take away the moonlit skies Take the sunshine from my eyes But don't take away, don't take away your love
Let me touch your lips and know the thrill of all your charms Then I'll hold the world, the very world within my arms
Take away the kiss of spring Take away my everything But don't take away, don't take away your love No, no, no, don't take away, don't take away your love
I'm begging you, please, don't take away your love
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, darling don't take away your love
Aw, just let me touch your lips and know the thrill of all your charms Then I'll hold the world, the very world within my arms
Take away the kiss of spring Take away my everything But don't take away, don't take away your love Don't take away, don't take away your love No, no, no, no, no, no, don't take away your love
Where In The World Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel Performer(s): Larry Clinton
Where in the world can my lover be Where in this wonderful world is there someone for me He may be standing in a corner on a lonely street But tell me how will we happen to meet Where in the world is that moment divine Where are those arms Where are those lips to whisper "will you be mine" Where are you if you're waiting, patiently waiting for me Oh how in the world will I know Where in the world you may be
Alexis Composer(s): Tommy Bolin - Jeff Cook Performer(s): Tommy Bolin; The James Gang
Alexis thank you for the pleasant southern days Spent on the levee throwing pennies in the bay Talking of the rich folks on the big boats that pass that way You were just a young girl and I just could not stay
Alexis I can't remember how we met back then Was on my way to Atlanta and on that road again Not really poor I had money just not to spend You were just a young girl and I was in need of a friend
Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo I had my doubts
Alexis I did not want to leave you there Sometimes this life we live is so unfair I wanted to take you with me but I did not dare You were just a young girl and I couldn't pay your fare
Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo I had my doubts
Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo I had my doubts
Where In The World Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Carl Lampl Performer(s): Dick Haymes
Where in the world will I find you Where in the world, I wish I knew Though I'm not near you, I hear you so well Though I can't see you, to me You are magic things that weave a spell
Did you just go by and say a word Was it a sigh or breeze I heard I'd go from here to right clear to a star Anywhere in the world To be where you are
Did you just go by and say a word Was it a sigh or breeze I heard I'd go from here to right clear to a star Anywhere in the world To be where you are
Barges Composer(s): Ralph McTell Performer(s): Ralph McTell
Me and my brother returned to the water I saw a pike that was two feet long Two small magicians, each with a jam jar Cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands
Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water Made shy by their laughter, we wandered down stream And summer rolled o'er us with no complications 'Cept thinking of Mama sometimes in dreams
Stand by the drawbridge, waiting for barges Waiting around for smiles from the man Lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses Dragging the slow boats up the canal
I do remember the times but no number After the day, but before evening comes Waiting for castles and kettles with roses Painted on barges that sailed into the sun
Oh, see the river run, that was by man begun Open the locks, let the boats sail on, Taking their castles and kettles with roses With summers of childhood leaving smiles on the man

Where I Am Going Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Glen Campbell
Feel like I'm coming out of the storm Watching dark clouds drift away Saying goodbye to all the pain I used to know It's time to let it go
Just can't seem to make myself conform To what the world wants me to be But the difference doesn't hurt me anymore I know they'll welcome me
Where I am going there will be no compromise No tears will come to cloud my eyes Where I am going And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice Will be given to me twice Because He paid the price And it's worth it all just knowing Where I am going
Do you want to go riding with me To a place that lasts forevermore Please don't think that you are one among the few I'm different just like you Where I am going there will be no alibis No might-have-beens or sacrifice Where I am going
And all the questions still unanswered in my mind Lord, I'll leave 'em all behind I'll only find the answers I'll only keep on going (Keep on going) Where I'm going (Where I am going) There will be no compromise No tears will come to cloud my eyes Where I am going And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice Will be given to me twice Because He paid the price And it's worth it all just knowing Where I am going (Where I am going there will be no alibis) Where I am going (Where I am going) (And all the precious .......)

Voiles sur les filles Barques sur le Nil Je suis dans ta vie Je suis dans tes bras
Alexandra, Alexandrie Alexandrie où l'amour danse avec la nuit J'ai plus d'appétit qu'un barracuda Barracuda Je boirai tout le Nil si tu n'me regardes pas Je boirai tout le Nil si tu n'me retiens pas Alexandrie, Alexandra Alexandrie où l'amour danse au fond des bras Ce soir j'ai de la fièvre et toi tu meurs de froid
Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie Chantent encore la même mélodie La lumière du phare d'Alexandrie Fait naufrager les papillons de ma jeunesse
Voiles sur les filles Et barques sur le Nil Je suis dans ta vie Je suis dans tes draps
Alexandra, Alexandrie Alexandrie où tout commence et tout finit J'ai plus d'appétit qu'un barracuda Barracuda Je te mangerais crue si tu n'me reviens pas Je te mangerais crue si tu n'me retiens pas
Alexandrie, Alexandra Alexandrie, ce soir je danse dans tes draps Je te mangerais crue si tu n'me retiens pas
Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie Chantent encore la même mélodie La lumière du phare d'Alexandrie Fait naufrager les papillons de ma jeunesse
Voiles sur les filles Barques sur le Nil Alexandrie, Alexandra Ce soir j'ai de la fièvre et toi tu meurs de froid Ce soir je danse, je danse, je danse dans tes draps
