The Best Of Times Composer(s): Dennis DeYoung Performer(s): Styx
Tonight's the night we'll make history Honey you and I And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time And stay with you here toinght (with you tonight, with you tonight)
I know you feel these are the worst of times I do believe it's true When people lock their doors, and hide inside Rumour has it it's the end of Paradise
But I know, if the world if the world just passed us by, baby I know I wouldn't have to cry
The best of times, are when I'm alone with you Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find These are the best of times These are the best of times
The headlines read "These Are The Worst Of Times" I do believe it's true I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down, baby I know You'd always be around
The best of times, are when I'm alone with you Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find
(When I'm alone with you, you brighten up the night!)

The Best Of Times (George Hearn & Elizabeth Parrish)

The best of times is now What's left of summer but a faded rose The best of times is now As for tomorrow, well, Who knows, who knows, who knows? So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times Is now, is now, is now
Now, not some forgotten yesterday Now, tomorrow is too far away So hold this moment fast And live and love as hard as you know how And make this moment last Because the best of times Is now, is now, is now

Canción Consumo Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Desde Santurce A Bilbao Blues Band
Rezan las leyes básicas de una curiosa estética que el hombre es una máquina consumidora intrépida Compre electrodomésticos dicen los nuevos místicos es el gran signo de éxito del "homo sapientísimo"
Producto, consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción canción, canción... consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción
Queda un último término lo del salario mínimo con el Madrid-Atlético y el juego quinielístico La corrida benéfica hoy televisan íntegra es la moderna técnica de crear alienígenas
Producto, consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción canción, canción... consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción
Este mensaje estúpido tan saturado en tópicos hay que venderlo al público como un jabón biológico así dispone el código mafioso-discográfico y así se explota al prójimo prójimo y primo práctico
Producto, consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción canción, canción... consumo éste es el triste tema de esta canción
Federico Garcia Lorca Composer(s): Jean Ferrat; C.H. Vic Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Les guitares jouent des sérénades Que j'entends sonner comme un tocsin Mais jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade "Bien que j'en sache le chemin"
Dans ta voix Galopaient des cavaliers Et les gitans étonnés Levaient leurs yeux de bronze et d'or Si ta voix se brisa Voilà plus de vingt ans qu'elle résonne encore Federico García
Voilà plus de vingt ans, Camarades Que la nuit règne sur Grenade
Il n'y a plus de prince dans la ville Pour rêver tout haut Depuis le jour où la guardia civil T'a mis au cachot
Et ton sang tiède en quête de l'aurore S'apprête déjà J'entends monter par de longs corridors Le bruit de leurs pas
Et voici la porte grande ouverte On t'entraîne par les rues désertées Ah! Laissez-moi le temps de connaître Ce que ma mère m'a donné
Mais déjà Face au mur blanc de la nuit Tes yeux voient dans un éclair Les champs d'oliviers endormis Et ne se ferment pas Devant l'âcre lueur éclatant des fusils Federico García
Les lauriers ont pâli, Camarades Le jour se lève sur Grenade
Dure est la pierre et froide la campagne Garde les yeux clos De noirs taureaux font mugir la montagne Garde les yeux clos
Et vous Gitans, serrez bien vos compagnes Au creux des lits chauds Ton sang inonde la terre d'Espagne O Federico
Les guitares jouent des sérénades Dont les voix se brisent au matin Non, jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade "Bien que j'en sache le chemin"
Best Of My Love Composer(s): Don Henley - Glenn Frey - J.D. Souther First release by: Eagles - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Every night I'm lyin' in bed holdin' you close in my dreams thinkin' about all the things that we said and comin' apart at the seams We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud empty places look at the way that we live Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above but here in my heart I give you the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you get the best of my love You Get The Best Of My Love O-O- Sweet Darlino-Oh' You get the best of my love You Get The Best Of My Love
I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream it was a quiet night and I would be alright if I could go on sleeping
But every mornin' I wake up and worry what's gonna happen today You see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it slippin' away You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-OH Sweet Darlin' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you got it You get the best of my love...
Canción A Mi Padre Composer(s): Sacramento Ramirez Performer(s): Los Razos
A mi ser que más quiero en mi vida yo le quiero cantar mi canción A mi padre que me dió mi vida y diario el me da su bendición y le pide a mi Dios que me cuide dónde quiera que siempre yo voy
A ti padre te doy yo las gracias que me hiciste un hombre de bien con tu ejemplo y buenos consejos yo mi vida logré componer Hoy yo me siento de ti orgulloso y en los vicios no vulevo a caer
A mi madre ya no la tenemos Dios la quiso tener a su lado pero siento que allá en el cielo nos bendice a mi y a mis hermanos y a ti padre te manda la calma pa' que siempre estes a nustro lado
Hoy me siento un poquito triste por que un beso no te puedo dar 'toy tan lejos papá de la casa que hay momentos que quiero llorar yo quisiera tenerte a mi lado y en mis brazos poderte estrechar
Dios te pido que cuides mi padre porqué yo quiero volverlo a ver solo Tu puedes darme licencia de estar juntos de nuevo otra vez también quiero mirar mis hermanos y a mis hijos que son mi querer
Yo te pido mi padre querido que siempre me des tu bendición y le pidas a mi madrecita que me cuide 'onde quiera que voy que me guié por el mejor camino y me cuide de alguna traición
En la sombra de un rosal y escondida entre las ramas estaba la niña esperando mi llegada y la brisa del mar acrecentó su nostalgia y el canto de la cigarra le anunció que llegaba
Y en el vientre presintió que la semilla palpitaba y su fatiga se posó en el lecho de unas ramas y un jilguero le contó que la espera no es larga que cuando llega un hijo nace la esperanza
Y la espera se marchitó una mañana de Febrero y la savia se quedó en el fruto del madero y la niña comprendió que ya no tenía miedo y su vientre dio una flor y mi voz quedó en el viento

The Best Man Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Fred Wise Performer(s): Nat King Cole
I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks 'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me
She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy
But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins The way it all turned out, there was no doubt That I was best man in the end Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend
She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy
So don't you think you're best til you pass the test And you know all the ladies' tricks 'Cause you'll wind up as the best man While the other guy gets the chicks
Canção Da América
Composer(s): Fernando Brant - Milton Nascimento
Performer(s): Milton Nascimento
and multiple other artists
Amigo é coisa para se guardar Debaixo de 7 chaves Dentro do coração assim falava a canção que na América ouvi mas quem cantava chorou ao ver o seu amigo partir mas quem ficou, no pensamento voou o seu canto que o outro lembrou E quem voou no pensamento ficou uma lembrança que o outro cantou Amigo é coisa para se guardar No lado esquerdo do peito mesmo que o tempo e a distância digam não mesmo esquecendo a canção O que importa é ouvir a voz que vem do coração Seja o que vier venha o que vier Qualquer dia amigo eu volto pra te encontrar Qualquer dia amigo, a gente vai se encontrar
Aproveito pra agradecer à meus amigos Eline taisa Smili, Rafa....... E dizer que Danilo vc sempre vai ser meu amigo.........
Feather Your Nest Composer(s): Al Kendis; James Brockman; Howard Johnson Performer(s): Bob Crosby; Bob Cats; Les Brown; Henry Burr; Albert Campbell
Oh sweetheart mine, it's wedding time The whole world seems to say The summer days are fading Into loveland let us stray Birds sing merrily High up in each tree And, sweetheart, they sing messages Just for you and me
Your heart is beating peacefully When friends are fond and true The world is filled with gladness When the one you love loves you Mountains or the sea over we may roam The path that leands to love, sweet love Leads to home sweet home
The birds are humming, "go feather your nest" Tomorrow's coming so feather your nest It's time for mating, no use hesitating The parson is waiting, he knows just whether it's best In a home for two, love, together we'll rest Where only true love, can weather the test Don't be delaying, the organ is playing The whole world is saying, "Go feather your nest"
The Best Is Yet To Come Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh - Cy Coleman First recording/First release by: Tony Bennett - 1960/1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb You came along and everything started to hum Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come and won't that be fine You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up's underway Wait till out lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and won't that be fine The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine
From the day that your mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I hold you near Wait till you see that sunshine place There ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine
Down on an isle where palm trees sway There's where I'll while my time away I hear it calling me From way out in the sea That's just the reason why I say
The balmy air just breathes perfume And maidens dance 'neath tropic moon Romance is everywhere There's not a thought or care Nothing can get me there too soon
Canary Isle where birds are singing My fairy land, I'm going there A little while, and I'll be bringing A song of love, to my lady fair (Music will fill the air) And while we're crooning, a long in tune Beneath the bright stars and silv'ry moon You'll hear my song I'll see your smile Then I'll belong In Canary Isle
Fearless Composer(s): Gary Nicholson; Wally Wilson; Brian Stoltz Performer(s): The Neville Brothers
I took a walk along the sea Lost in thoughts of you and me Just like the moon, turning the tide I feel a pull from so deep inside
So many questions haunting us So many doubts attacked our love Dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong Against the odds, we must carry on We must be strong and fearless We must be fearless
Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless, fearless, fearless
For so long I was afraid To step from the shadows of my mistakes Your love has given me the courage I need Together I know, nothing can stop you and me If we are fearless We must be fearless
Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless We must be fearless
We must stand in the light, willing to fight Whatever may come betwen us and be fearless We must be fearless
Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless, fearless, fearless
The Best Days Of My Life Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Jim Cregan Performer(s): Rod Stewart
You always said living with me was impossible Try it I said just like the wind I'm changeable We ain't got money but we sure got laughs lots of loving too So I confess on my behalf you're giving me honestly the best days of my life
Your whispering girls said don't be a fool don't give into him He's an animal treat you like dirt then he'll turn you in You two are not compatible It'll never never last They said I wasn't even suitable But you're giving me honestly the best days of my life
Sometimes I wonder why does she bother with me at all So staid in my ways Let's face it my dear, I'm insufferable
The crazy nights spilling into days with all my noisy friends But they all love you as much as I Giving me constantly the best days of my life And a day without you at this point my dear seems unthinkable A night without you more often than not is unbearable
But if it all can't work out one can never never tell In my heart there is no doubt you gave to me unselfishly the best days of my life
But if it all can't work out one can never never tell
Hello canary bird, this is a letter home Hello canary bird, this is a letter home Well you know I want you to fly the whole world over And find how my baby been gettin' along
Well canary bird, when you get to Clarksdale Please fly down on Second Street Yes canary bird when you get to Clarksdale Please fly down on Second Street Well you know I don't want you to stop flyin' Until you take the letter out to Stovall for me
Fly on, canary bird, fly on!
On your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while Yes on your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while Well canary bird I want you to stroll down Beale Street And see can you see my little old angel child
