Tonight My Baby's Coming Home Composer(s): Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell and multiple other artists
Last night he called from Dallas He was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace He said honey you won't be alone for long I got to make just one more stop To pick up a ring in Little Rock And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home
Fourteen wheels a whinin' Four big headlights shinin' Him and that semi been away too long Hope he don't get stop from speedin' 'Cause I've got everything he's needin' Waitin' for him right here at home
He's got that big ole engine singin' Singin' my favorite song And I know he's headin' my way Rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home
For ten thousand miles I've missed him It's been a week since I kissed him And forty truckstops since I held him tight A million chicks and he can get 'em They wanna make love and he won't let 'em The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
He's got that big ole engine singin' I know he's headin' my way Rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home I know he's headin' my way... I know he's headin' my way...

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely And I have dreamed what a joy you'll be I have dreamed ev'ry word you'll whisper When you're close, close to me

In these dreams I've loved you so That by now I think I know What it's like to be loved by you I will love being loved by you

A certain maid I know, is so afraid her boy Will never ask her, will she name the day He calls on her each night, and when she dims the light It's ten to one that you would hear her say
Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up Each time we make up after being through
So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day
Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Name the day, name the day
Oh Joseph, make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can wind up Oh Joseph, each time we make up after being through
Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day

Tonight I'm yours do anything that you want me to Don't hurt me, don't hurt me Tonight I'm yours do anything 'cos I want you to I want you to
And tomorrow morning we won't cry you go your way, honey, I'll go mine I'm the one who didn't waste your time remember me this way
And if you never see my face again think of me as a permanent friend the one who loved you like a hurricane then disappeared disappeared disappeared

I Have Come To Say Goodbye Composer(s): Andrew Carp
I have come to say good bye, Mary, darling For America, I sure must do my part Now be brave and do not cry, Mary, darling Though this parting almost breaks your heart I know you will be lonely, Mary darling I know that you will never cease to care My thoughts will ever be of you, dear When I'm in the trenches over there
'T Is for freedoms cause, this strife, Mary, darling For our liberty, On land and on the sea I would gladly give my life, Mary, darling Fighting for the world's democracy With conscience right I'm ready, Mary darling When duty calls a soldier must obey And if I am spared I'll return, dear Back to the good old U.S.A.
At evening I'll lie a-dreaming Dreaming of thee When o'er the sea In fancy I'll see you waiting Waiting at home, sweet home for me
Tonight, tonight I fell in love, I want the stars above To know tonight I fell in love Tonight, I gave my heart away to love that can stay 'Cause tonight I fell in love
Oh what a wonder, this magic spell I'm under! This feeling that I feel, is it really real? My heart beats so fast, I pray that it will last 'Til the end of time

I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of a fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Por ahi viene Joselito Con los ojos brillantitos Por la calle peñon Se ha 'tomao' tres botellas De coca-cola llenas De vino de chiclana Ya tiene las ganas Y ahora solo busca un sitio Donde le dejen cantar Ponme otra copa Tu ya sabes que mañana Voy a la mar ¡Ay! Joselito ¡ay!
Vigilancia reforzada En el puente el ambiente Es en technicolor Esto era muchos grados De marea al sur De Fernando poo Ya llego la hora De la zarzamora y sube La atmosfera del bar Y en el tubo 'traqueao' El salitre le ha 'dejao' Un rumor de alta mar ¡Ay! Joselito ¡ay!
Yo soy Joselito El de la voz de oro Que de puerto en puerto Voy dejando mi cuple Siete novias tuve Mas novias que un moro Me salieron malas Y a las siete abandone ¡Ay! Joselito ¡ay!
Tonight Carmen Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins; Foster & Allen; Just Two
Carmen, Carmen, Carmen
Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking Tonight Carmen's coming back home Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom Tonight Carmen's coming back home Tonight as I stand here I notice my hand here Is trembling as never before My feelings I can't hide Resistance has all died My pride will rush outside The moment she walks through the door
The lips that have kissed her That've loved her and missed her Are lips that have cursed her at night In anguish and torment I've cursed as the night went From darkness till dawn's golden light I've thought of just taking these two hands and breaking The body I'm waiting to touch I find while I'm waiting, there's no time for hating While anticipating The woman I've wanted so much
I've placed pretty flowers to brighten the hours I've put brand new sheets on the bed I'm nervous, I'm trembling, recalling, remembering The way that she tosses her head I've given much thought To the fact that I ought to Have more control over my life How can I fight it, how can I deny it There's no way to hide it The love that I have for my Wife
I have a boyfriend (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) Met him a week ago (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) He's my forever (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) Last night he told me so
He's the boy that I adore Never felt like this before And I know I'll never let him go
I have a boyfriend (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom) (Whoo-eee-whoo) We'll never say goodbye (Boom-sh-boom) (Boom-sh-boom) He made a promise (Boom) (Whoo-eee-whoo) He'll never make me cry (Boom-sh-boom)
Every time we kiss goodnight Feels so good to hold him tight And I thank the stars Up in the sky
(And someday I know) oh-oh, yeah (We'll walk down the aisle) Yes, we will (so much in love) Whoa-oh-oh-oh (wearing a smile)
Every time we kiss goodnight Feels so good to hold him tight Oh-oh, I'm so glad I have a boyfriend
I have a boyfriend Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh I have a boyfriend, yeaaaaah, I do
Josáh, La Que Pinta Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Sucedió que una vez, hace tiempo hubo un militar y el ejército fue una cadena de descubrimientos No podía perderse un amanecer pues la diana era antes que la claridad y se hizo costumbre una forma distinta de ver
Sucedió que una noche llegó al universo Josáh como una aparición de figuras en el sentimiento Vino de la ciudad donde viven los magos y llegó con el alma colgada del cinto sin saber que un soldado en el pecho no tiene fusil Encantó, revolvió, disgregó los aplomos puso tiendas gitanas en todos los templos y era solo una niña jugando a persona mayor
"Josáh, la que pinta, déjate ver" decía el soldado, decía el viento y la naturaleza con lenguaje que aún se podía oir...
Sucedió que se hizo tristeza el semblante del tiempo cada día era un Nudo Gordiano sin pies ni cabeza
Las mañanas dejaron de significar en más de una ocación no se cumplió el deber cada pase era un Día de Reyes en el curso de un mes Todo era Josáh, que bailaba a la noche una orgía pagana estallando en la piel todo era Josáh, la que pinta bailando el amor
Pero el mundo da vueltas y todo regresa a su cauce ya no era soldado, y Josáh se escondió en su país El que fuera soldado volvió a carpintero a ingeniero de minas o quizás boxeador aunque nunca regresa completo el soldado a su casa Entre días y ruídos se hallan recuerdos se revuelven gavetas, se somríe al ver objetos como un tiempo que se ha repartido en papeles y fotos
"Josáh, la que pinta, déjate ver" decía el soldado, decía el viento y la naturaleza con lenguaje que aún se podía oir...

Hier, j'étais un navire Perdu sous un ciel sans étoiles Mais, j'ai retrouvé la ville Puisque tu es là ce soir
Ce soir, mon cur est plein d'espoir Ce soir, pour toi, j'avais rêvé De retenir le temps pour pouvoir te garder Ce soir, reste avec moi, ce soir Roman d'amour ou tendre histoire Tout peut commencer ce soir Oh! Ce soir!

Ik probeer je te vergeven Maar ineens alles vergeten Kan ik niet...
Die turbulente jaren Dat wij samen waren Die vergeet ik niet...
Je ging zo vaak en zocht misschien Verboden liefde maar nadien Diep in je hart...
Wist je met jezelf geen raad Maar voor de liefde is het nooit te laat...
Met jou te leven was een hel Hoe zou ik kunnen leven zonder jou... Want wat je ook doet... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
Jij gaf me niet wat ik je gaf Mijn tranen waren nooit veraf Van verdriet...
Je zei wel dat je van me hield Maar wat heeft jou toen dan toch bezield...
Met jou te leven was een hel Hoe zou ik kunnen leven zonder jou... Want wat je ook doet... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
Jij lacht om mij Ik huil om jou Jij speelt met mij Omdat ik van je hou...
Al wat je zegt Dat doet me pijn Omdat je liegt En ik je heb vertrouwd...
Ik hou van jou, hou jij van mij ? Ik vraag alleen mij te beminnen... Want wat je ook doet ... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...
Ik hou van jou, hou jij van mij ? Ik vraag alleen mij te beminnen... Want wat je ook doet ... Nooit of nooit vind ik nog ooit Een man die met mij doet wat jij doet...

Reviens dans la petite rue Où nous nous sommes connus À cinq ans ...
Reviens dans cette ville Beaucoup trop tranquille Pour tes dix-sept ans ...
Tu es parti chercher ailleurs Ce qu'on cache très longtemps Au fond du coeur ...
Nous on voulait t'imiter Mais on n'a pas osé On a flanché ...
Pendant ce temps, j'ai eu le temps De repenser à cet amour Inachevé Mais maintenant, je sais Que tu n'as jamais jamais Oublié La rue de nos premiers baisers
Les cheveux longs, le jean usé Mais la tête pleine d'idées Tu es parti...
C'est pas l'argent qui te tentait Mais chaque jour tu nous parlais De la Californie ...
Pendant ce temps, j'ai eu le temps De repenser à cet amour Inachevé Mais maintenant, je sais Que tu n'as jamais jamais Oublié La rue de nos premiers baisers
Si tu savais c'que j'ai passé De tendres nuits à me relire Tes mots fous...
Si tu savais c'que j'ai pleuré Quand j'ai appris que tu rentrais Enfin chez nous...
Mais malgré tout, j'ai paniqué À en crever de n'plus recevoir Tes bouts d'papiers Mais maintenant, je sais Que tu n'as jamais jamais Oublié La rue de nos premiers baisers
Si tu savais c'que j'ai marché Pour pas penser, pour pas douter Que l'on s'est aimé Mais maintenant, je sais Que tu n'as jamais jamais Oublié La rue de nos premiers baisers ...
