Don't Lose My Number
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins
and multiple other artists
There came a night leaving fear behind shadows are on the ground And nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Chorus: Now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you Oh now Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh
Searchin' through the day and into the night They wouldn't stop until they found him They didn't know him and they didn't understand, nobody asked him why "Get out of my way", I heard a shout, then a blinding light All I could see was him running down the street Out of the shadows and into the night
Chorus
Don't give up, keep running, keep hiding Now don't give up, oh Billy, if you know you're right Don't give up, 'cos you know that I am on your side Don't give up, oh Billy You better, you better, you better run for your life
Chorus
There came a night leaving fear behind, shadows are on the ground Nobody knew where to find him, no evidence was found I'm never coming back, I heard him cry, and I believe him He never meant to do anything wrong, it's gonna get worse if he waits too long
Chorus
Billy, Billy don't you lose my number 'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you, oh Billy
Don't Lose Heart
Composer(s): Ron Dante - Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Ron Dante
If you feel lost
Searching for someone like I do
Someday I'll find you
Don't lose heart
Each day I pray
Pray for the day that you're near me
Though you don't hear me
No you don't hear me
Don't lose faith
And don't lose heart
Wait for fate
To play its part
Don't lose heart
And if you feel
You've lost your way
Leave all that
To yesterday
Don't lose heart
Just when you've seen
Shadows and clouds overtake you
The sun'll break through
Yes the sun'll break through
Don't lose faith
And don't lose heart
Wait for fate
To play its part
Don't lose heart
And if you feel
You've lost your way
Leave all that
To yesterday
Don't lose heart
Every lie we've heard
From some past lovers
Made us ready and ripe
Ready and ripe to love another
Don't lose faith
And don't lose heart
Wait for fate
To play its part
Don't lose heart
And if you feel
You've lost your way
Leave all that
To yesterday
Don't lose heart
Don't Lose Heart Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
"This life is heartless and it's rarely just Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust And steel your soul if you let it Oh, every life contains its sorrows and pains Its stormy weather and its rough terrains You watch me wrestle with my length of chain And smile so bravely as you tell me
Don't lose heart Don't lose heart Though it feels like yours will fall apart Just remember when the road gets dark I will always be beside you
I've spent my life pursuing fortune and fame Chasing rainbows in a shadow game And I'm not sure what I've lost is worth the gain Or why my soul remains so restless
You've seen me stumble, Lord, you've seen me fall You've shared my triumphs and you've seen me crawl And when I think that I could lose it all You give me courage and you tell me
Don't lose heart Don't lose heart Though it feels like yours will fall apart Just remember when the road gets dark I will always be beside you"
Don't Look Now But My Heart Is Showing Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill Performer(s): Dick Haymes, Eileen Wilson, Olga San Juan
If this bliss is love Why didnt somebody tell me
Dont look now but my heart is showing No matter what I say or do Cant hide it, my hearts Romeo-ing I cant stay away from you You smile and my dreams start hallo-ing They spin when you come into view In circles, I may not be going But I feel I reel with you
When mister kisses miss, no need for words to embroider When mister kisses miss, changing her name is in order You smile, and the stardust is glowing Were whirling in a world thats new Dont look now but your heart is showing And it flips and halts and turns somersaults Darling, it wants to waltz with you
Dont ask me but here is my answer I think that youre magically he Who could be a love necromancer Neck-romancing is for me Dont stop me but I am replying I know that youre magically she The preacher would like to be tying As you coo I do with me Around, round and round Im just like a record thats playing Repeating the same sound The needle must like what Im saying These wings that I feel I am growing Belong to someone I never knew Dont look now but heaven is showing And tonight the sky is my sky to fly Darling, falling in love Falling in love with you
Aie je l'aime Aie Aie Aie je l'aime Qu'il m'enlace, qu'il m'embrasse Qu'il me frappe ou bien me chasse S'il me rappelle tout à coup Tout s'efface et tête basse Je reviens car quoi qu'il fasse
Parfois sans rien dire Pendant de longs mois Nul ne sait pourquoi Il disparaît mais il revient Devant son sourire Moi le voyant là Je reste sans force et je ne lui demande rien Dans ses mains mon coeur n'est plus qu'un jeu L'animal fait de moi ce qu'il veut
Aie je l'aime Aie Aie Aie je l'aime Il rAieonne, je frissonne Pourtant si je le questionne Il met sa joue contre ma joue Il marmonne et je pardonne A quoi bon que je m'illusionne Aie Aie Aie je l'aime et puis c'est tout
Il aime bien vivre Dormir au soleil Et dit en riant que le travail est pour les fous Et quand il s'enivre C'est toujours pareil Il est si heureux qu'il chante, danse et casse tout Il prétend qu'il est riche à millions Sa fortune est faite d'illusions
Mais je l'aime Aie Aie Aie je l'aime Il sait faire pour me plaire Des choses extraordinaires Et sachant qu'il est un peu fou Je tolères ses manières Car je ne puis me refaire Aie Aie Aie je l'aime et puis c'est tout
Don't Look Now (But Your Broken Heart Is Showing) Composer(s): Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Hank Thompson
He left you flat and crying too the way that you left me Just when you thought you had things your way And now I guess you know my Dear what it means to be blue For consolation hears all I can say
Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin That smile upon your face can not fool me Youre to blame if I have a way of knowin That within your heart theres only misery
'Cause youre the one that left me deep in sorrow Without a soul to tell my troubles to So Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin And to me to me it sure looks good on you
Ah come in Jimmie
'Cause youre the one that left me deep in sorrow Without a soul to tell my troubles to So Don't Look Now, But Your Broken Heart Is Showin And to me to me it sure looks good on you
Ay de Ti, Ay de Mí Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Y yo que estaba de vuelta de todas las idas con el cima herida te quiero, ya ves Seré lo que tú prefieras tu luz o tu sombra o acaso una alfombra besando tus pies Ay de ti, ay de mí ni tú ni yo somos culpables infelices locos que caímos en este amor que es un error imperdonable ay de ti, ay de mí Y tú que siempre decías ser inteligente no como esa gente que muere de amor Así sabrás que la rosa es rosa por bella y no porque en ella respire una flor... Ay de ti, ay de mi.. la vida es la consentida, feroz dictadura de una criatura que juega a mandar Ni tú ni yo somos nadie, ni hacemos historia pues somos la escoria que aun puede quemar Ay de ti, ay de mí...
Don't Look Now (It Ain't You Or Me) Composer(s): John C. Fogerty First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969
Who will take the coal from the mine? Who will take the salt from the earth? Who'll take a leaf and grow it to a tree? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me Who will work the field with his hands? Who will put his back to the plough? Who'll take the mountain and give it to the sea? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin' Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too
Who will make the shoes for your feet? Who will make the clothes that you wear? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me
Don't Look Now, someone's done your starvin' Don't Look Now, someone's done your prayin' too
Who will take the coal from the mines? Who will take the salt from the earth? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep? Don't Look Now, it ain't you or me

Ay Catamarca, madre del canto por estas venas arde tu sol por estas venas arde tu sol Ay Catamarca, cómo soñaban los ojos míos poderte ver poderte ver...

Ay Catamarca, ay Catamarca catamarqueño debiera ser catamarqueño debiera ser catamarqueño debiera ser...
Don't Look In My Eyes
Composer(s): Brian Potter - Frank Wildhorn
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers
All my memory is safely packed And my dreams are neatly folded away Ive got nothing to show To a love that might have told okay All the tables and chairs Theyre standing empty and bare And there isnt any sign You were here So jsut walk out of the door Try not to get too near
You might look in my eyes And see all the pain And sadness deep inside Dont look in my eyes Thats where I keep the tears I cant hide If youve just gone, itll be alright I know Ill get through the night And I even smile As we say our goodbyes Just dont look in my eyes
All our photographs are stored away And our letters are there burned in the fire Theres nothing left here That make me believer We had nights of tender love and desire If this seems to be gray Id like to hide away Theres nothing to remind me of you When you walk out of the door Just be sure whatever you do
Dont look in my eyes And see all the pains And sadness deep inside Dont look in my eyes Thats where I keep the tears I cant hide If youve just gone, itll be alright I know Ill make it through the night And I even smile As we say our goodbyes Just dont look in my eyes

Don't Look Down
Composer(s): Colin Allen - Mick Ronson
Performer(s): Mick Ronson
Don't know what I'm doing here, but I say it again Don't know what I'm doing here, but you might know my name Room full of faces laughing, I'm so alone Feel a little strange, 'cause I'm so far from home
Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Yeah, don't look down
Had a woman's love, but she sent me away Can't live with a broken heart, but there's no place to stay I won't be crying, I don't have the time Better keep my head on straight, 'cause I'm walking the line
Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't look down
Getting kinda scared but you see, I'm here just the same Gonna face the day, 'cause there's no one else I can blame I got my trouble, I'll get it over and done I'll never get too far if I keep trying to run
Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't wanna fall Remember don't look down Don't look down Don't look down
Away From You Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick - Richard Rodgers - Steve Walsh Performer(s): Sarah Brightman
Away from you There is no music There is no sunlight The world is gray Away from you The clocks are frozen And time's a traveller Who's lost his way
The people I meet Might as well be statues The words we exchange Might as well be Greek The room that I'm in May be bright and cheerful But to me It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive Until the moment The door swings open And you walk through Now my world starts to glow Like a stained-glass window And what was old and cold Is warm and new And so you see Why I can never be Away from you
Away from you The world is lifeless As though creation Has gone awry The trees are bare There are no flowers The fields are thirsty The streams are dry
We live, you and I For a breath of sunlight So brief an escape From a world of gray Our moments of warmth Have been touch and go, love But tonight, we'll touch And stay
The people I meet Might as well be statues The words we exchange Might as well be Greek The room that I'm in May be bright and cheerful But to me It's dim and bleak
I'm half alive Until the moment The door swings open And you walk through Now my soul is afloat On a wave of music That I could feel such joy I never knew And so you see Why I can never be Away from you
Don't Look Back Composer(s): Tom Scholz Performer(s): Boston
Don't look back A new day is breaking It's been too long since I felt this way I don't mind where I get taken The road is calling Today is the day I can see It took so long to realise I'm much too strong Not to compromise Now I see what I am is holding me down I'll turn it around I finally see the dawn arriving I see beyond the road I'm driving Far away and left behind It's a new horizon and I'm awaking now Oh I see myself in a brand new way The sun is shining the clouds are breaking 'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play I can tell There's no more time left to criticise I've seen what I could not recognise Everything in my life was leading me on but I can be strong I finally see the dawn arriving I see beyond the road I'm driving Far away and left behind
Don't Look Away Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who
Don't go and hide Yesterday you were my girlfiend If you do My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind
There's a stone in my shoe So I can't catch you up My head's in a lion's mouth Wants to eat me up Right here today Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away
I once heard you say If I ever was down you would help me Now my head's being chewed up You pretend that you don't see
There's a stone in my shoe So I can't catch you up My head's in a lion's mouth Wants to eat me up Right here today Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away
I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away
Polly In A Porny Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Shel Silverstein
Haha I kissed Polly goodnight Haha as we stood at her front door Now she's quite a proper lady So I didn't ask for anything more But haha I was feeling oh so groovie That I went down to the movie And I sat down and guess just what I saw
I saw Polly in a porny Down at the dirty flicks I saw Polly in a porny I didn't know she knew them tricks What I seen nearly struck me blind I never knew she was the artically inclined I saw Polly in a porny with a pony And I've nearly blowed my mind Was she gallopin' (no no no) Oh was she trottin' (no no no) Oh was she riding across the country with some tall dark handsome person Oh was she wearin' her cowboy hat Haha well not exactly that But at least I recall she had her spurs on I love ol' Polly in a porny I keep on going back Yeah in the very last row I'm singin' low With my coat bouncin' in my lap Ooh I spend each dime I can afford I swear she's gonna win an academy award I saw Polly in a porny with a pony And the pony seemed a little bored Ooh oh ride Polly ride slide Polly slide
