Come In From The Rain Composer(s): Melissa Manchester; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Melissa Manchester
Well, hello there Good old friend of mine You've been reaching for yourself For such a long time There's so much to say No need to explain Just an open door for you To come in from the rain It's a long road When you're all alone And someone like you Will always choose the long way home There's no right or wrong I'm not here to blame I just want to be the one Who keeps you from the rain
From the rain And it looks like sunny skies Now that I know you're alright Time has left us older Wiser, I know I am 'Cause I think of us Like an old cliche But it doesn't matter 'Cause I love you anyway Come in from the rain And it looks like sunny skies Now that I know you're alright Time has left us older But Wiser, I know I am And it's good to know My best friend has come home again 'Cause I think of us Like an old cliche But it doesn't matter 'Cause I love you anyway Come in from the rain Come in from the rain Come in from the rain
If you get lonely out there in that old world And you become just a homesick little girl Should the life you lead begin to fall apart Then come home oh come home to my heart
Then come home to my heart the door is open Come on home when the tears begin to fall Forget the past and things that might have been And come home to my heart just walk right in
If some old mem'ry should start working on your mind And you get lonesome for the love you left behind If your new world begins to fall apart Then come home oh come home to my heart
Then come home to my heart... And come home to my heart just walk right in
Riot In Cell Block #9 Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Robins; and various other artists
On July second, 1953 I was serving time for armed robbery 'Bout four in the morning I was sleepin' in my cell I heard a whistle blow I heard somebody yell
There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on Up in cell block number nine
The trouble started in cell block no. 4 It spread like fire across the prison floor I said "Come on boys, get ready to run Here comes the warden with a tommy gun"
There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on Up in cell block number nine
The warden said "Come out with your hands up in the air If you don't stop this riot You're all gonna get the chair" Scarface Jones said, "It's too late to quit And pass the dynamite, 'cause the fuse is lit"
There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on Up in cell block number nine
The ninety-second hour The tear gas got our men Crawled in our cells But every now and then...
There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on There's a riot goin' on Up in cell block number nine

Río Y Mar Composer(s): León Gieco; Gurevich Performer(s): León Gieco
A veces me siento grande como el mar a veces un corto tiempo del río que va Soy un horizonte que te da las tormentas y a veces soy un sauce que pide al viento dejar de llorar Rí-i-o-o y-y mar, tal para cual
A veces soy un milagro que empieza a veces una esperanza que pasó Soy una puerta del alba que se cierra y a veces soy un caminante que te ruega por entrar Río y mar, tal para cual
A veces soy el altar de la luna a veces arena pobre con sombras Soy un fantasma salvaje que no vuelve y a veces soy un pájaro que por vos quiere regresar Río y mar, tal para cual Río y mar, tal para cual

Who will you murder For democracy Who's next to be slain

Rio nights are full of silent splendour Down in dreamy old Brazil Stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine Just waits for me, I know she loves me still
The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the hilltops There beside the Southern sea At this bewitching hour, beneath an old rose bower Somebody there is lonesome just for me
Rio nights are full of silent splendour Down in dreamy old Brazil Stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine Just waits for me, I know she loves me still

The Syncopated Clock ((Danish Version: Det Taktløse Ur (Gustav Winckler) - 1952)) Composer(s): Leroy Anderson - Mitchell Parish First release by: Leroy Anderson and His "Pops" Concert Orch. Covered by multiple other artists
There was a man like you and me As simple as a man could ever be And he was happy as a king Except for one peculiar thing
He had a clock that worked all right It worked all right, but not exactly quite Instead of going "tick, tock, tick" The crazy clock went "tock, tick, tock"
The poor old man just raved and raved Because nobody could say Why his silly clock behaved That hickory dickory way . But now a famous man is he He owns a public curiosity From far and wide the people flock To hear the syncopated clock
Tick-a-tock, tick-a-tock There's a zing in the swing of that clock Tock-a-tick, tock-a-tick Don't you think it's a marvelous trick
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling There's a zong in the bong of that ring Ling-a-ting, ling-a-ting Don't you think it's a wonderful thing
The experts came to hear and see But none of them could solve the mystery They called Professor Einstein too He said "There's nothing I can do"
But soon the fickle human race Will find another freak to take its place And one fine day the man will hock The poor old syncopated clock
Come Hai Fatto Composer(s): Francesci Migliacci; Domenico Modugno Performer(s): Domenico Modugno; Giancarlo Cardini; Mina
Io ti voglio bene come nella mia vita non è accaduto mai così profondamente che ho paura di me di questo smisurato amore che adesso provo per te
Io ti desidero un desiderio nuovo che mi tormenta talvolta mi domando com'è possibile che mi debba addormentare mi debba risvegliare andare e ritornare e avere te sempre davanti a me negli occhi miei nei miei pensieri in ogni istante della mia vita
Io ho bisogno di te come la barca ha bisogno del mare per poter andare la primavera ha bisogno del sole per poter fiorire la farfalla di un fiore un bimbo di una mano che l'accompagni un cane di un padrone e del vento l'aquilone per poter volare ed io di te sempre vicino a me in ogni istante della mia vita
Ma come hai fatto a farmi innamorare così tanto mi guardo nello specchio e mi domando se quello lì sono io ma come hai fatto a far della mia vita una tua cosa a trasformare il tempo in un'attesa di rivedere te no non ha senso questa mia vita e più ci penso e più è un filo nelle tue mani
Ma come hai fatto non so nemmeno quando è incominciato io so soltanto che nella mia vita non è accaduto mai la prima volta che dico veramente ti voglio bene
Negli occhi miei nei miei pensieri in ogni istante della mia vita sempre vicino a me
Ma come hai fatto a far della mia vita una tua cosa a trasformare il tempo in un'attesa di rivedere te la prima volta che dico veramente ti voglio bene
Rio Nights Composer(s): Elmer Vincent; Fisher Thompson
When night has fallen down in dear old Rio Down in dreamy old Brazil The stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine Just waits for me I know she loves me still The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the hilltops There beside the southern sea At this bewitching hour, beneath an old rose bower Somebody there is lonesome just for me Rio nights are full of silent splendor When the tropic moon is in the sky I keep growing fonder Every time I wander With a maid who is so sweet and shy Romantic Rio weaves a spell around you Golden hours we spent so bright and gay You just want to spoon Parting comes too soon When you linger down that Rio way When night has fallen down in dear old Rio Down in dreamy old Brazil The one I call my own Is now no more alone I sit beside her there when all is still The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the moonlight Out beyond the harbor lights But at this wooing hour, we sit beneath our bower United once again on Rio nights
The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known) Composer(s): Otha Young Performer(s): Juice Newton; Emile Pandolfi
When I see you in the morning With that old sleep still in your eyes I remember all the laughter And the tears we shared last night And as we lie here Just two shadows In the light before the dawn The sweetest thing I've ever known Is lovin' you
And I have never been afraid of losin' And I have never wanted love to be a chain I only know that when I'm with you You're my sunshine, you're my rain The sweetest thing I've ever known Is lovin' you
Now you and I We're not children We have both been loved before We have given and we have taken Many rides on troubled shores But all the heartaches and temptations Only made me love you more The sweetest thing I've ever know Is lovin' you
And I have never been afraid of losin' And I have never wanted love to be a chain I only know that when I'm with you You're my sunshine, you're my rain The sweetest thing I've ever known Is lovin' you
The sweetest thing I've ever known Is loving yooooooou

Rio Marrón Composer(s): Jorge Fandermole Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
No puedo perderte mujer del rio cuerpo marrón, del rio marrón las manos como ondas en la orilla que la permanencia en la confluencia formando los muslos combados espejos de luna fugitiva Rio marrón devolveme sangre abajo de tu paso el lirio negro que llegó junto a tu orilla
Rio, rio marrón llevá en un pez esta canción que alguien me espera de cara a las estrellas Causa arriba Rio marrón animal de barro que huye que como la vida fluye sin volver nunca a la altura Si pudiera remontarte tiempo atrás para ver la claridad en su semblante y no faltó un instante de ternura, rio marrón
El agua que baja nunca es la misma y al recordar nos vamos al mar porque el pasado yace en lo profundo y como el amor dura una creciente el dolor es caudal permanente la sangre su espejo y la vida reflejo del rio marrón Rio marrón, devolveme Rio marrón Y el cielo que se rompe desde aqui hasta el horizonte luz de luna sumergida si pudiera remontarte tiempo atras para ver en la opacidad del tiempo ido si aquel fulgor perdido era la vida rio marrón
The Sweetest Song In The World Composer(s): Harry Parr-Davies Performer(s): Gracie Fields
The sweetest song in the world is sung When lights are low and your heart is young We sang it together in the twilight glow Not so very long ago, do you recall? That sweet old song is the same today I love you still in the same old way For it is love and love alone can bring to you The sweetest song in the world
Do you remember when you came along And we both fell in love at a glance Of course you remember, `twas loves old sweet song That we sang in the springtime of romance Even though dreams fade away I know that I'm right when I say
(Gracie's soprano for two lines) We sang it together in the twilight glow Not so very long ago, do you recall? That sweet old song is the same today I love you still in the same old way For it is love and love alone can bring to you The sweetest song in the world
Come From The Heart Composer(s): Susanna Clark; Richard Leigh Performer(s): Don Williams and various other artists
When I was a young man my daddy told me A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago If you want to have someone to hold onto You're gonna have to learn to let go
You got to sing like you don't need the money Love like you'll never get hurt You got to dance like nobody's watchin' It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
Now here is the one thing that I keep forgetting When everything is falling apart In life as in love, what I need to remember There's such a thing as trying too hard
Rio Grande Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Ça commence comme dans un film noir Un jeune couple embarqué dans une sale histoire P'tit voleurs fichés et recherchés La vie les a changés en marginaux blessés
En cavale, changeant chaque soir D'hôtel, d'identité Évitant les bars Bêtes traqués, une seule lueur d'espoir Ça s'ra la fin du blues Dans l'port de Vera Cruz
{Refrain:} Rio, Rio Grande Dès la frontière passée Nous s'rons blanchis, sauvés Rio, Rio Grande Le temps va s'arrêter Pour mieux nous oublier On s'promet une vie, sans blues Tout commence à Vera Cruz
Vrais mensonges, rêveurs éveillés Le Mexique est bien loin du supermarché Les vigiles nous ont vite repérés Ça s'ra toujours le blues Dans la banlieue d'Mulhouse
The Sweetest Melody Of All Composer(s): Grant Clarke - Jimmie V. Monaco
When I was born I had an ear for music, I loved sweet lullabies And every morn' when I would hear sweet music, I'd open up my eyes Father bought a baby grand, I learned to play it with one hand Music always made me gay And I'm the same today
Down in the hall we've got a pianola It's going night and day And that's not all We bought a new victrola To make the servants stay All the kids have tuneful toys Or anything for nifty noise Tho' grandmother's eighty three She sings close harmony
I love to hear sweet melodies, I love the song birds in the trees I love an opera grand A big brass band Or any little tune from Dixie land I love to hear the bugle call For any tune I'm bound to fall But to hear a little baby calling you papa That's the sweetest melody of all
I love to hear sweet melodies, I love the song birds in the trees I love an opera grand A big brass band Or any little tune from Dixie land I love to hear the bugle call For any tune I'm bound to fall But to hear a little baby calling you mama That's the sweetest melody of all
