Do you feel what I feel What's happ'ning to us is a dream, but it's real I can feel the heat from the hot sun above Hand in hand we stand at the threshold of love
Far from the town there's no one around I'm touching your hair (Touching your hair) I touch your hair (Touching your hair) We're touching
Do you feel what I feel What's happ'ning to us is a dream, but it's real I can feel the heat from the hot sun above Hand in hand we stand at the threshold of love
Touching your lips (Playing with your hair) Playing with your hair (La-la-la-la-la) Laying in the fields at sunset Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Soon the sun will appear In the dawn I'll be holding you near Touching dreams of the night gone away Where we stood at the threshold of love (Threshold of love) Threshold of love yesterday
Cuando Seas Grande Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Miguel Mateos and multiple other artists
Soy un chico de la calle camino la ciudad con mi guitarra sin molestar a nadie Voy cortando cadenas estoy creciendo contra la miseria y alguna que otra pena Pero pierdo el control llego a casa y escucho su voz siempre la misma canción
Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande Nene, nene que vas a ser cuando seas grande estrella de Rock'n Roll presidente de la nación nene, nene que vas a ser cuando alguien apriete el botón

(It's A) Long Lonely Highway Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Ingrid Lucia
It's a long lonely highway when you're travellin' all alone And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line
It's a long lonely highway without her by my side And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line
I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow And the cool grass for my bed My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy That I wouldn't be better off dead It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time And if she don't come and get me Well, I'm gonna lose my mind So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care Just keep movin' down the line Movin' down the line Movin' down the line
Three letters left a village bound for somewhere over there three letters to a lonesome soldier lad each one a loving story told each one was worth its weight in gold three messages that made his poor heart glad
Each word was like a soft caress that soothed his aching heart and drove away the misery and the pain then joy returned to take their place and brought a vision of each face as over and over he read their words again
For the first was just old fashioned, and it breathed a mother's prayer while the next one started "Darling, God protect you over there" and the third was filled with kisses, send to Daddy across the foam from his mother, wife and baby, three wonderful letters from home
Three Wheels On My Wagon Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Bob Hilliard Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels
Three wheels on my wagon And Im still rolling along The Cherokees are chasing me Arrows fly, right on by But Im singing a happy song
Im singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die A mile up the road theres a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by
George, theyre catching up to us! Get back in the wagon woman!
Two wheels on my wagon And Im still rolling along Them Cherokees are after me Flaming spears, burn my ears But Im singing a happy song
Im singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die Half a mile up the road theres a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by
Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road? Will you hush up? You and your maps!
One wheel on my wagon And Im still rolling along Them Cherokees after me Im all in flames, at the reins But Im singing a happy song
Im singing a higgity, haggity hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die Right around that turn theres a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by
George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets? Woman, I know what Im doing!
No wheels on my wagon So Im not rolling along The Cherokees captured me They look mad, things look bad But Im singing a happy song
Cmon all you Cherokees sing along with me!
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die...
(In The) Land Of Make Believe Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): The Drifters; and various other artists
In the land of make believe you're mine tonight Although you are far away In the land of make believe I'm holding you tight A silver moon is shining above And there's love in your eyes And I'm kissing you like I used to do Yesterday in paradise.
I've been livin' In the land of make believe since you've been gone I need you so much that Without your love I must deceive myself to go on Your lovin' hand caresses my face We embrace tenderly Never will we part, deep down in my heart You are always here with me
You are always here with me In the land of make believe In the land of make believe You are always here with me In the land of make believe
There are three ways Three ways Three ways to love you it's true One is the wrong way And one is the right way But the best is the way I love you
One is the wrong way Like some people do They kiss and the lie And they'll never be true But soon they will wonder Why love flies away And tho how they cry When they find out it's true
There are three ways Three ways Three ways to love you it's true One is the wrong way And one is the right way But the best is the way I love you
One is the right way Tho some people say With dinning and dancing In some caberet Now some girls may think This is really ideal But to late they find out Their life isn't real
There are three ways Three ways Three ways to love you it's true One is the wrong way And one is the right way But the best is the way I love you
One is the best way The way I love you With all of my heart And for all my life through I'll cling to you only Forget all the rest I'll show you my darling That my ways the best
Three Times A Lady Composer(s): Lionel Richie First release by: The Commodores - 1978 Covered by multiple other artists
Thanks for the times that you´ve given me The memories are all in my mind And now that we´ve come to the end of our rainbow There´s something I must say out loud
You´re once, twice, three times a lady And I love you... Yes, you´re once, twice, three times a lady And I love you... I love you...
When we are together the moments I cherish With every beat of my heart To touch you, to hold you To feel you, to need you There´s nothing to keep us apart
You´re once, twice, three times a lady And I love you... I love you...
You shared my dreams, my joys, my pain You´ve made my life worth living for And if I had to live my life over again I´d spend each and every moment with you
You´re once, twice, three times a lady And I love you... I love you...
No tuve mas caricias que las tuyas No tuve mas calor que tu mirada No tuve nada Cuando no estabas tu Cuando no estabas tu yo no era nada Cuando no estabas tu Cuando no estabas tu yo no era nada
No tuve mas amor que el que me diste No tuve mas cobijo que tu alma No tuve nada Cuando no estabas tu Cuando no estabas tu yo no era nada Cuando no estabas tu Cuando no estabas tu yo no era nada
Mirame, hoy canto para ti, tan solo para ti Mirame, oyeme, quiereme mucho Mirame, oyeme, quiereme como yo
Porque no hay otros brazos que los tuyos Ni tuve otra mujer enamorada No tuve nada Cuando no estabas tu Cuando no estabas tu yo no era nada Cuando no estabas tu Cuando no estabas tu yo no era nada
Mirame, hoy canto para ti, tan solo para ti Mirame, oyeme, quiereme mucho Mirame, oyeme, quiereme como yo
(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone Composer(s): Tommy Boyce; Bobby Hart Performer(s): Paul Revere & The Raiders; and various other artists
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
You're trying to make your mark in society Using all the tricks that you used on me You're reading all those high fashion magazines The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes
I said I I I I I'm not your stepping stone I I I I I'm not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone
When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who
I said I I I I I'm not your stepping stone I I I I I'm not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone
Three Time Loser Composer(s): Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Stand here ev'ry night I'm wearin' my number but she said wear it touching up another fool In a jukebox job downin' blues in her leopard-skin anklehigh boots while I'm jackin' off readin' Playboy on a hot afternoon
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
How dare you have a party in a Chelsea basement when the poor excited Jezebel said come outside She felt me up and kissed my face put her dirty hands down in my pants She took all of my money left me naked by the silvery moon
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
Roll away, roll away, all of you women I don't think I need you anymore There'll be no more doctor's bills there'll be no more swallowing pills And I've found a woman that can witness that in blood out of me
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
I'm a three time loser Caught it up in Monterey shook it up in East Virginia now my friends say it's here to stay
Crystal Chandeliers Composer(s): Ted Harris First release by: Carl Belew - 1965
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
I never did fit in too well with the folks you knew And it's plain to see that the likes of me don't fit with you So you traded me for the gaiety of the well to do And you turned away from the love I offered you Oh the crystal chandeliers...
I see your picture in the news most every day You're the chosen girl of the social world so the stories say But a paper smile only lasts a while then it fades away And the love we knew will come home to you some day Oh the crystal chandeliers... When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers
(I'm Just A) Redneck In A Rock & Roll Bar Composer(s): Bill Anthony; Bob Morrison Performer(s): Jerry Reed
Instrumental Intro
Well hello, Boogie Palace I'm sittin' here alone Listening to the music Of electric saxophones
Now, there ain't no sexy dresses And there ain't no beehive hair Just boys who look like girls Who look like boys, who look like Cher
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
I stopped in here to have a beer To ask some gal to dance But, I been waitin' patient now And I ain't had the chance
'Cause they ain't played any walzes Nothing like a Texas swing And with no belly rubbin' music How in the hell can I do my thing?
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
Well goodbye, Boogie Palace I'm a gettin' outta here Back to Country music And back to Lone Star beer
Where the women look like women And they dress so you can tell And the men are good ol' boys Just drinkin' beer and raisin' hell
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
[Fade to End]
I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar I miss the fiddle And a steel guitar They're starin' at me Like a bug in a jar I'm just a redneck In a Rock 'n' Roll bar
