The Fairest Of The Seasons Composer(s): Gregory Copeland - Jackson Browne Performer(s): Nico
Now that it's time Now that the hour hand has landed at the end Now that it's real Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe try another time And do I really have a hand in my forgetting?
Now that I've tried Now that I've finally found that this is not the way Now that I turn Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe finally split the rhyme And do I really understand the undernetting?
Yes and the morning has me Looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs carefully
Now that it's light Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind Now that it's here Now that I'm almost not so very far behind I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe follow another sign And do I really have a song that I can ride on?
Now that I can Now that it's easy, ever easy all around Now that I'm here Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song I want to know do I stay or do I go And do I have to do just one And can I choose again if I should lose the reason?
Yes, and the morning Has me looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs more carefully
Now that I smile Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside Now that I see Now that I finally found the one thing I denied It's now I know do I stay or do I go And it is finally I decide That I'll be leaving In the fairest of the seasons
Catch
Composer(s): Simon Gallup - Robert Smith - Porl Thompson - Lol Tolhurst - Boris Williams
First release by: The Cure - 1987
Covered by multiple other artists
Yes I know who you remind me of a girl I think I used to know Yes I'd see her when the day got colder on those days when it felt like snow You know I even think that she stared like you she used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven and make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night just rolling about on the floor And I remember even though it felt soft at the time, I always used to wake up sore You know I even think that she smiled like you, she used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away and stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her But I never even caught her name
Follow Me Composer(s): John Denver Performer(s): John Denver
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done to be so in love with you and so a-lone
Chorus: Follow me where I go what I do and who I know make it part of you to be a part of me follow me up and down all the way and all around take my hand and say you'll follow me
It's long been on my mind you know it's been a long, long time I'll try to find the way that I can make you understand the way I feel about you and just how much I need you to be there where I can talk to you when there's no one else around
Chorus
You see, I'd like to share my life with you and show you things I've seen places that I'm going to places where I've been to have you there beside me and never be alone and all the time that you're with me then we will be at home
The Eyes Of The World Composer(s): Jeff Branen - Arthur Lange
Oh it's great to be great and be something in the eyes of the world you proclaim when a name to the eyes of all the world is unfurled Not for me; can't you see I am longing for a land night and day for a place on the face of this world of ours where we both can hide away
There's a land that is grand! I can see it every night in my dreams Over the sea, here to me, comes the fragrance of its flowers, so it seems Loving time, loving clime, where the roses are in bloom all the while! Let us fly, you and I, on our honey moon, to that far enchanted Isle
The eyes of the world, won't you take me from the eyes of the world? You know that I want to be, want to be free take me to a lonely island far over the sea We can live there alone We can start a little kingdom of our own, where we can love all the day far far away, far from the eyes of the world
Cataclismo
Composer(s): Esteban Taronji
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists
Qué pasará si tú me dejas qué pasará si tú me olvidas le he preguntado a las estrellas a la luna y al mismo sol
Qué pasará si andando el tiempo de mí te cansas y te alejas le he preguntado a la distancia a ver si el eco llega hasta Dios
Desesperado presintiendo tu partida me imagino que te has ido para ver la reacción que sufriremos cuando estemos separados y tú pienses en mis besos y yo añore tu calor
Fue la visión de este delirio todo un desastre de locura como si el mundo se estrellara un cataclismo para los dos
Desesperado presintiendo tu partida me imagino que te has ido para ver la reacción que sufriremos cuando estemos separados y tú pienses en mis besos y yo añore tu calor
Fue la visión de este delirio todo un desastre de locura como si el mundo se estrellara un cataclismo para los dos
Follow Me Composer(s): James Pankow; David Foster Performer(s): Chicago
One shoe on; one shoe off Nothin' in life is decideable; wouldn't you know Nothing's supposed to be easy Take one day at a time Ain't no need to hurry Realize where you are, and where you're going to
Chorus: Follow me, ain't no need to go on all by yourself Follow me; don't need nobody else Follow me; and together we'll build a better life Follow me
One more time; toe the line Nothing in life is impossible Both of us know Life is as good as we make it Dark reflections of the past Drown in our tomorrows Time to laugh; time to love Time to live again
I once did know a President Away down South, in Texas And, always, everywhere he went He saw the eyes of Texas
The Eyes of Texas are upon you All the live long day The Eyes of Texas are upon you You can not get away Do not think you can escape them At night or early in the morn The Eyes of Texas are upon you 'Till Gabriel blows his horn
Sing me a song of Prexy Of days long since gone by Again I seem to great him And hear his kind reply Smiles of gracious welcome Before my memory rise Again I hear him say to me "Remember Texas' Eyes"

Now I'm done playing with fools And I've paid all my childhood dues I find the mountain much steeper to climb Am I just one of the crowd?

Folk Song Composer(s): Pete Brown; Jack Bruce Performer(s): Jack Bruce
How will I find you O my love In the darkness of day I will look in glass forests Where electric fish play How will I see you when I find you In the brightness of light I will see you on the silver train That people call night
How will I know you when I see you In the bareness of spring I will know you by starlight Where the road's echoes sing
How will I love you when i know you In the greyness of mist I will love you forever Where sadness hass kisses
Walking by the sea See the names floating by Trying to find each other's Trails in the sky
Eyes Of A New York Woman Composer(s): Mark James Performer(s): B.J. Thomas
I'll be in New York City When the lights shine bright tonight Where my woman waits for me Arms that hold me tenderly Lips as sweet as honeycomb Love that waits for me alone Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
The eyes of a New York woman Are eyes that can hold a man She swept me off of my feet Made my world seem so complete I'll never have to look for more I found what I've been lookin' for Deep in the eyes of a New York woman
Thought I wasn't ready for the tie that binds But I lost my heart to her when her eyes met mine Now I see her differently I've got to make her mine
So I'll make my home Fun City And let the lights shine bright on me East side cafés, West side plays Uptown, downtown, I'll be there I'll never have to look for more I found what I've been lookin' for Deep in the eyes of a New York woman The eyes of a New York woman Are eyes that can hold a man She swept me off of my feet Made my world seem so complete I'll never have to look for more I found what I've been lookin' for Deep in the eyes of a New York woman

The Eyes Of A Child Composer(s): Ron Bloom - Graham Russell Performer(s): Air Supply
When you look to the past for life's long hidden meaning For the dreams and the plans made in your youth Does the thrill to achieve match the warm hidden feeling That lies so still and lives in you
In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future For the lessons of life there is no better teacher Than the look in the eyes of a child
You've found the place to walk the path you've chosen You'll never miss the world you left behind When life gives life, it's happiness unbroken When you give love, it's love you'll find
In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher Than the look in the eyes of a child
In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher Than the look in the eyes of a child
In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future For the lessons of life, there is no better teacher Than the look in the eyes of a child

Cat In The Window
(The Bird In The Sky)
Composer(s): Alan Gordon - Garry Bonner
Performer(s): The Turtles
Fly away, fly away There's a cat in the window And he's watching all the birds go passing by He'd love to fly out the window Go where the wind goes And so would I Like that cat in the window Who keeps wishing for some wings to take a ride I'd love to glide to a rainbow Off where the clouds go dancing by And if I could fly You wouldn't find me hangin' around Watching the birds go by
Yes the cat in the window Has a tear in his eye I should leave today, fly away Why should I stay like the cat in the window Who keeps watching the birds Go by from the window If I could fly though You won't find me Don't even try to
The Express Office (Traditional) Performer(s): Paralee Weddington
The express office opened When an old man worn in years Entered, an' his tear worn face Showed signs of grief an' tears And as the clerk approached him With trembling voice did say I'm looking for my boy, sir He's coming home today
O, you have made a slight mistake For surely you must know This is an express office, sir An' not a town depot An' if your boy is coming home With smile the clerk did say You'll find him with the passengers At the station o'er the way
You do not understand me, sir An' the old man shook his head He's not coming home as a passenger But by express instead He's coming home to Mother An' a tear fell as he said He's coming in his casket, sir He's coming to us dead
Just then a whistle pierced his ear An express train, someone cried The ole man rose in breathless haste And quickly rushed outside An' from the coach a long white box Was lowered to the ground The scenes were most heart rendering To those who stood around
Don't handle it so rough boys It contains our darling Jack He went away, as you boys know See how he's coming back He broke his dear old Mother's heart Her warning has come true She told him he'd be brought back dead When he joined the boys in Blue
