Turn Around, Look At Me Composer(s): Jerry Capehart First release: Glen Campbell - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
There is someone walking behind you Turn around, look at me There is someone watching your footsteps Turn around, look at me
There is someone who really needs you Here's my heart in my hand Turn around, (turn around), look at me (look at me) Understand,understand
That there's someone who'll stand beside you Turn around, look at me And there's someone who'll love and guide you Turn around, look at me
I've waited, but I'll wait forever for you to come to me Look at someone (look at someone) Who really loves you, yeah, really loves you Turn around, look at me
I Will Remember Composer(s): Steve Lukather; Stan Lynch Performer(s): Toto
I was born in the land of the sun And the tall green grass And I dont understand How all this has come to pass
That weve come to surround ourselves In a sea of thieves In a land without learning Only the fools believe
I went drivin last night On a dark canyon road Had the sky to myself But I wasnt alone
Had the pain of my lifetime For my company How did it end up like this For you and me
When love breaks the promise, the heart has to keep It leaves only truth here to find When the spirit is crushed and the hurt is so deep Between you and I
Even when love has come and gone And our hearts have moved along I will remember There was a time we had the trust And that always was enough I will remember I will remember you
As I open my eyes To one more day The wind burns my face As it whispers your name
As its pulling me forward It tears me free And the only thing left Is the tears for and me
Cause when love breaks the promise, the heart has to keep It leaves only truth here to find When the spirit is crushed and hurt is so deep Between you and I
Even when love has come and gone And our hearts have moved along I will remember There was a time we had the trust And that always was enough I will remember
Even when love has come and gone And our hearts have moved along I will remember There was a time we had the trust And that always was enough I will remember I will remember you

Hell schien der mond von Granada Auf die sierra nevada Da kam aus estramadore Ein verliebter senore Er spielt so schön mandoline Für seine kolombine Und durch die nacht von Granada Klang seine Serenada
Komm senorita komm nach Estramador Da senorita träumen wir von amore Denn senorita denn in Estramadore Sag ich beim mondenschein Meine ganze welt ist dein
Kaum war die weise verklungen Die der senor gesungen Rief die Mama Kolombine Wer spielt da mandoline Da grüsste mit dem sombrero Höflich der caballero Und durch die nacht immer wieder Sang er das Lied der lieder
Komm senorita komm nach Estramador Da senorita träumen wir von amore Denn senorita denn in Estramadore Sag ich beim mondenschein Meine ganze welt ist dein
Nacht für nacht sang vor dem tore Der verliebte Senore Und die Mama konnt' dem flehen Nun nicht mehr widerstehen Da gab's im land der geranien Kein schönres paar in Spanien Und überall in Granada Sang man die serenada
Komm senorita komm nach Estramador Da senorita träumen wir von amore Denn senorita denn in Estramadore Sag ich beim mondenschein Meine ganze welt ist dein
Turn Around Walk Away Composer(s): Donnie Abercrombie - Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & The Texas Troubadors
Dont say a word Turn Around Walk Away Dont look back or I might beg you to stay
We both know just how it all will end Because youve lyed to me time and time again
You know how youve hurt me in the past How could a warm love like ours grow cold, so fast Youll only hurt me more if you stay Dont say a word Turn Around Walk Away
Dont say a word Turn Around Walk Away
You dont really want me anyway You can even say that I left you But, Turn Around Walk Away I beg of you
You know how youve hurt me in the past How could a warm love like ours grow cold, so fast Youll only hurt me more if you stay Dont say a word Turn Around Walk Away
I Will Play A Rhapsody Composer(s): Burton Cummings Performer(s): Burton Cummings; Marleigh Rouault; Mary Smith
What will you see? What will you be? Anything you want to love is easy How will you know if I am for you You won't know me to see me, but you'll know by what I do
For I will play a rhapsody Cleverly disguise it so it's not been heard before And I will sing a lullaby Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm
How will you know where you should go Anywhere you want to love is fast or love is slow Falling through feelings and falling through time You won't know me to see me but I'll come to you in rhyme
For I will play rhapsody Cleverly disguise it so it's not been heard before And I will sing a lullaby Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm

Maybe God will make you see That your love is still for me Turn around, I'll be following you
When you're in my arms again There will never be an end Turn around, I'll be following you
Turn around, I'll be waiting behind you With a love that's pure and never, ever dies If you feel your love will last And you like to live your past Turn around, I'll be following you

Tunnel Of Love Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo and I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam and I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am
in a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above and I'm just high on the world come on and take a low ride with me girl on the tunnel of love
it's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say hey Mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above and I'm just high on the world come on and take a low ride with me girl on the tunnel of love
well it's been money for muscle another whirligig money for muscle and another girl I dig another hustle just to make it big and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this she put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss and in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above and I'm just high on the world come on and take a low ride with me girl on the tunnel of love
and now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades in any shooting gallery where promises are made to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
I wanna love you like i never loved you tonight If it's alright I wanna tell you things I've never said in my life I'm gonna hold you when the sun refuses to shine I wanna show you that I'll always be by your side 0o0o0h
When you call my name And you need me there Girl you know that I will be waiting for you When you close your eyes And you see me there Don't you know that I will be waiting..
I wanna kiss you like I'll never kiss you again If it's okay I can't imagine loving any other this way o0o0oh
When you call my name and you need me there Girl you know that I will be waiting for you When you close your eyes And you see me there Don't you know that I will be waiting...
(when you call my name and you need me there girl you know that i will be waiting for you when you close your eyes and you see me there don't you know that i will be waiting..)
So what you wanna do I wanna-be-with you I know that you like my style So why don't you stay a while And when you want me to I'll wait for you...
