Lets Wait A Little Longer Composer(s): Curly Putman - Billy Sherrill Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn and multiple other artists
I can see you're not happy the way you've been acting And I think you'd like to be free I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burnin' And I'd like to put out the flame So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame
But right now I don't think that I can leave him For lately he's been so good to me And there might be once more chance that things might work out So let's wait a little longer then we'll see
But wait I can make you forget him cause I'll take you To places that you've never been We'll make all the night spots the dim and the bright spots And then we'll forget where we've been We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches and swing from Maine to Mexico If you'll come along we can make life a song and you won't be tied down anymore
But still I don't think that I can leave him For lately he's been so good to me And there might be once more chance that things might work out So let's wait a little longer then we'll see Yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see
Brother, you and I Brother, you and I We'll sing our lullaby Hush, my dear Sing sweet and low Baby now to rest will go Hush thee, hush thee Singing soft and low Hush thee, hush, thee Singing soft and low
Brother, you and I Brother, you and I We'll sing our lullaby Tired blue eyes Will gently close Sleepy now the baby grows Hush thee, hush thee Sleep in sweet repose Hush thee, hush thee Sleep in sweet repose
Fratelli Di Guerra English Title: Brothers In Arms Performer(s): Ricky Gianco
Questa nebbia montana la mia casa sarà quella vera è lontana e non mi vedrà se faremo ritorno in salvo alle pianure non avremo più voglia di altre avventure
Battezzato col fuoco nessuna pietà ho sofferto ho vissuto la mia fragilità e se mi hanno ridotto così le paure, gli allarmi voi fratelli di guerra saprete aiutarmi
Il nemico è uguale a noi nemmeno lui lo sa perché squarciamo in due una sola umanità
Sotto un sole d'inferno e una luna di ghiaccio non dirò mai addio perché non ce la faccio ma lo leggo nel cielo lassù non è questa la via ammazzare i fratelli è un'assurda follia

Brothers In Arms Italian Title: Fratelli Di Guerra Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Originally performed by: Dire Straits
These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arm
Through these fields of destruction Baptism of fire I've watched all your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms
Let's Turn Out The Lights ((French & Spanish Versions: Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour); Apaga La Luz (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Joel Hirschhorn - Al Kasha Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Turn out the lights, we don't have to see Let the darkness watch, over you and me We don't need a light, just the flame within It burns for us now, right beneath the skin
Turn out the lights, the darkness is our friend It helps when we dream, and when we pretend My finger will trace, every wwinding curve Follow every line, every pulsing nerve
No one's in the street, no one walks the hall We can watch our shadows moving on the wall In tender silence, with the curtains drawn We can keep on making love until the dawn
Turn out the lights (Turn out the lights) Talk without sound Won't you stay all night (All night) Spin the world around (Spin the world around) My river is dry, fill it with your touch Let's turn out the light, I want you so much
(Let's turn out the lights) No one's in the street, no one walks the hall We can watch our shadows moving on the wall In tender silence, with the curtains drawn We can keep on making love until the dawn
Turn out the lights (Turn out the lights) Oh, talk without sound Won't you stay all night (Stay all night) Spin the world around (Spin the world around) My river is dry, fill it with your touch Let's turn out the lights, I want you so much
Brother, Can You Spare A Dime? Composer(s): Edgar "Yip" Harburg; Jay Gorney Performer(s): Bing Crosby
They used to tell me I was building a dream And so I followed the mob When their was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always their right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead Why should I be standing in line Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al" It was "Al" all the time Why don't you remember, I'm your pal Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell And I was the kid with the drum
Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al" It was "Al" all the time Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Apaga La Luz ((English & French Versions: Let's Turn Out The Lights (Charles Aznavour); Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Apaga la luz jazmín y clavel mis brazos en cruz sueñan con tu piel detén el reloj ven cerca de mí solos tú y yo es mejor así
Apaga la luz y en la oscuridad de tu juventud dáme la verdad yo sé que París duerme sin temor mientras vis a vis arde nuestro amor tu mirar de raza me iluminará y un herén la casa nos parecerá y con ciego anhelo yo te buscaré y en tu negro pelo me reclinaré
Apaga la luz yo te haré saber en esta quietud todo mi querer y con frenesí loco de emoción voy hacer de ti mi mejor canción
Apaga la luz es mas prudencial que la noche azul fuera del cristal se llegue a morir de curiosidad por no descubrir nuestra soledad
Apaga la luz sin vacilación y sin inquietud a mi corazón yo me he de sentir lleno de ansiedad tu sangre latir de felicidad si de madrugada tiemblas de pavor yo me ire al lado te daré valor y la sed ardiente de mi gran amor calmaré la fuente de tu boca en flor
Apaga la luz jazmín y clavel mis brazos en cruz sueñan con tu piel apaga la luz sal de juventud
Apaga la luz solos yo y tú apaga la luz solos yo y tú apaga la luz solos yo y tú apaga la luz

Brother Where You Bound Composer(s): Rick Davies Performer(s): Supertramp
There's a red cloud hanging over us And it's so big and it's gonna burst All you people with your heads in the ground Hey brother, where you bound?
And they're no good and they're everywhere Try to tell you, but you just don't care Try to hear you but you don't make a sound Hey brother, where you bound? Hey brother, where you bound?
And you don't know what they're gonna do And you don't know how they feel And you don't know what they're tellin' you Is it a lie or is it real And the next thing that you know is That they walk out on the deal
And the message that they're giving you Is the same old alibi If you don't quite see their point of view Then they treat you like a spy And the phone rings and you disappear In the middle of the night
Can't you see they're on the move Don't know what you're trying to prove But you sit there oh so cool Like they never broke no rules
And the cat flies and the crow walks And the ghost dies and the sow talks And they tell us that they'll be good as gold B'lieve nothing that you're told Hey brother, where's your soul?
Make a move in one direction Try to make some compromise But they greet you with rejection Makin' out you're tellin' lies Then they turn around and tell you Better get down from the sky
For the sake of all that's holy Listen good to what I say I can feel them all around me They could be here any day But you act like you don't know me Why d' you look at me that way
If there's one thing that is clear We gotta get away from here We've gotta leave this place It's just a hopeless case Ain't no one else to blame We're gonna lose this game
Hey brother get off my back I gotta tell you, you're way off the track They got a hatred deep down inside Ain't gonna let them take me alive I'm gonna burn them down, just wait and see Ain't gonna let them walk over me Boy you ain't got no heart and soul And your mind is weak and your blood's runnin' cold
You better move, you better hide They're gettin' in, they're gettin' inside If you get caught you better know They're gonna reap, you're gonna sow Don't be a fool, we gotta go Ain't no place safe for us to stay We better move on, we better move on
Let's Think About Living Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant Performer(s): Bob Luman and multiple other artists
In every other song that I've heard lately Some fellow gets shot And his baby and his best friend both die with him As likely as not In half of the other songs Some Cat's crying, or ready to die We've lost most all of our happy people And I'm wondering why
Let's think about living Let's think about loving Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' And the shootin' and the dying And the fellow with the switchblade knife Let's think about living Let's think about life
We lost old Marty Robbins Down in old El Paso a little while back And now Miss Patti Page, or one of them Is a-wearing black Cathy's Clown has Don and Phil Where they feel like a-they could die If we keep on a-losin' our singers like that I'll be the only one you can buy
Let's think about living Let's think about loving Let's think about the whoopin' and hoppin And the boppin' and the lovie, lovie dovin' Let's forget about the whinin' and the cryin' And the shootin' and the dying And the fellow with the switchblade knife Let's think about living Let's think about life
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show Composer(s): Neil Diamond Originally performed by: Neil Diamond Covered by various other artists
Hot August night And the leaves hanging down And the grass on the ground smelling sweet Move up the road To the outside of town And the sound of that good gospel beat Sits a ragged tent Where there ain't no trees And that gospel group Telling you and me
It's Love Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show Pack up the babies Grab the old ladies Everyone goes Everyone knows Brother Love's show
Room gets suddenly still And when you'd almost bet You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in Eyes black as coal And when he lifts his face Every ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow Like a small earthquake And when he lets go Half the valley shakes
It's Love, Love Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show Pack up the babies Grab the old ladies Everyone goes Everyone knows Brother Love's show
Sermon
Take my hand in yours Walk with me this day In my heart, I know I will never stray Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle
It's Love, Love Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show Pack up the babies Grab the old ladies Everyone goes Everyone knows Brother Love's show Amen
Let's Talk It Over Composer(s): Ian MacMillan Performer(s): Blue
As I sit here in my loneliness Waiting for a friend to come, come to me I remember days of happiness And the way it used to be
All the emptiness you left behind And the lonely tears I've cried, tried to hide When you know I'm only trying to find What I thought I had inside
Don't say it's over Don't let it go Let's talk it over There's something I don't know
But now I realise I lost a friend I should have known when it went wrong long ago I just find it hard to understand The way you let me know
Don't say it's over Don't let it go Let's talk it over There's something I don't know Don't say it's over Don't let it go Let's talk it over There's something you should know
