More Pretty Girls Than One (Traditional) Performer(s): Lyle Lovett and various other artists
Mama talked to me last night She gave to me some good advice She said Son you ought to quit This old ramblin' all around And marry you a sweet loving wife
But there's more pretty girls than one More pretty girls than one Any old town that I ramble all around in There's more pretty girls than one
So Honey look down that old lonesome road Hang down your pretty head and cry 'Cause I'm thinking all about Them pretty little gals And hoping that I never die
Luz Y Sombra Composer(s): Ruben Fuentes - R. Cárdenas Performer(s): Javier Solís
Yo sé que te han dicho que no valgo nada, que no valgo nada que vivo tan solo para los caprichos de tu corazón Si a nadie le pido y a nadie le ruego, a quién le preocupa a quién le preocupa si vivo si muero por esta pasión
Quién sepa de amores que calle y comprenda que me dejen solo sufriendo en silencio mis penas de amores Si yo soy dichoso teniéndote cerca qué le importa a nadie si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón
Quién sepa de amores que calle y comprenda que me dejen solo sufriendo en silencio mis penas de amores Si yo soy dichoso teniéndote cerca qué le importa a nadie si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón
More Love Composer(s): Smokey Robinson Originally performed by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

Luz Do Sol Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso and multiple other artists
Luz do sol, que a folha traga e traduz Em verde novo, em folha, em graça, em vida, em força, em luz Céu azul, que vem até onde os pés Tocam a terra e a terra inspira e exala os seus azuis Reza, reza o rio, córrego pro rio, rio pro mar Reza a correnteza, roça, beira, doura a areia Marcha o homem sobre o chão, leva no coração uma ferida acesa Dono do sim e do não diante da visão da infinita beleza Finda por ferir com a mão essa delicadeza A coisa mais querida, a glória da vida
More Like The Movies Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show; Dennis Locorriere
I guess the dance is over now So you just curtsey and I'll bow And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne
Then I'll just take what's left of me Right back to where it used to be And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky
I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins, no
The castles that you built so high Were just too steep for me to climb And I guess these dirty streets of mine Were just too rough for you
I wish I could've helped you see Just one of your sweet childhood dreams But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true
And I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins
Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins No you never got to hear those violins
Luz De Todos Los Ástros Composer(s): Fito Paez Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Luz de sol luz de todos los astros corazón otra vez desvelado y siempre todo que pasa y siempre todo que pasa
Un temor una linea cerrada quiero ver quiero verte la cara y siempre todo que pasa y siempre todo que pasa
Solo escucharme y dejarme salir todos sabemos que es asi solo tu amor me podra rescatar por un momento en esta cama que vuela barco sin velas luz quitapenas.
Luz de sol
Solo escucharme y dejarme salir todos sabemos que es asi solo tu amor me podra rescatar por un momento en esta cama que vuela barco sin velas luz quitapenas trato de estar aqui
More Fool Me Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis
Here am I Who while away the mornings Since you've gone Too long have I lay alone Not knowing which way to turn
And there you are Quite sure that you were right Knowing full well That I'd be the first one To go down
And you'd be the one who was laughing Except when things were'nt going you're way Then the lady would say that she'd had enough Wandering around on her own
The day you left I think you knew you'd not be back Well at least it would seem that way Because you never said goodbye But when it comes round to you and me I'm sure it will work out alright
And you'd be the one who was laughing Giving me something I don't need You know, I'd always hold you and keep you warm Oh! more fool me
But when it comes Round to you and me I ask myself Do I really believe In your love
Luz De Luna Composer(s): Alvaro Carrillo Performer(s): Javier Solís
Yo quiero luz de luna para mi noche triste para pensar divina la ilusión que me trajiste para sentirte mía, mía tú como ninguna pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
Yo siento tus amarras como garfios como garras que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
Si ya no vuelves nunca provincianita mía a tu selva querida que está triste y está fría que al menos tu recuerdo ponga luz sobre mi bruma pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
Yo siento tus amarras como garfios como garras que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna
More And More Composer(s): Jerome Kern Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
