I'm Falling For You Composer(s): Joe Trafalgar Hubert; Clarence Williams; Joe Sanders Jr. Performer(s): Clarence Williams Trio and multiple other artists
I'm fallin' for you, I'll never be blue What can I say and what can I do Darlin' I'm fallin' for you
My friends all declare that it isn't fair For you to say you really don't care Darlin' I'm fallin' for you
Although I'm a fool dear If there should come a time There's only one thing that I'll ever ask If the maker will make you mine
For you're tops in my world My love is unfurled No I'm not a clown, my love is just down Darlin', I'm fallin' for you
Darlin', I'm fallin' for you
Although I'm a fool dear If there should come a time There's only one thing that I'll ever ask If the maker will make you mine
For you're tops in my world My love is unfurled No I'm not a clown, my love is just down Darlin', I'm fallin' for you

I'm Easy Composer(s): Keith Carradine Performer(s): Keith Carradine and multiple other artists
It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me When it's a love you'll not be needing, you're not free Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing If you'll not take the things you make me want to give I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane You're not half as free to wander as you claim I'm easy, I'm easy Say the word, I'll play your game As though that's how it ought to be I'm easy Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me If loving you will have to be a sometime thing I can't put bars on my insides; my love is something I can't hide I still hurt when I recall the times I've tried I'm easy, I'm easy Take my hand and pull me down I won't put up any fight, because I'm easy Don't do me favors, let me watch you from a distance Cause when you're near, it's hard for me to keep my head When your eyes throw light at mine, it's enough to change my mind Make me leave my cautious ways and world behind I'm easy I'm easy

I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can Composer(s): Bob McDill Performer(s): Juice Newton
He said, Ive seen you before As the band broke into Misty I put one hand on the bar The whole room by then Was starting to spin
I said, youve got Hemingways eyes And that night I called him papa It seems that there are so many lovers Who hold you and yet Whose name you forget
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
Maybe were just shooting stars Needing something to hold on to But each thing we touch seems to vanish Like candles and friends They burn at both ends
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
He said Ill see you around And as I brushed my hair I winked and said, you might Cause I know by now how its done After all the mornings after And all the nights
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
Eu E Tu Composer(s): Gereba - Tuzé de Abreu
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Faz muito tempo que o nosso amor começou Daí pra cá cada vez mais ele aumentou E nunca mais a gente esteve separado E nunca mais a gente se sentiu só
Nunca mais tive que queixar da solidão Nunca mais tive medo da escuridão Porque eu tendo você a meu lado Me sentia muito forte Como lá no meu sertão
E foi assim que o sucesso lhe levou Você saiu dizendo que vinha me buscar Você esteve na tv e eu não lhe vi Será, meu Deus, que eu não lhe vejo mais aqui
Ouvindo o rádio de manhãzinha Pela janela da cozinha da vizinha A sua voz cantando o beija-flor Abri a porta da gaiola E o canário avoou
Oh oh oh Meu canarinho que beleza que avoou Oh meu amor

Être ((Italian Version: Essere (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Être, renaître ma naissance Dans une aube de craie Sous la lune de sang Aux termes d'un hiver mourant Être, émerger du silence Voir briller au soleil Les givres de mon cur Présage d'un printemps meilleur Être le fruit et la semence Dans un sol épuisé Et fleurir en exil Comme un arbre éclaté d'avril Être, apprendre à me connaître Garder les yeux ouverts Et n'être rien qu'un être De chair
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Et au-delà peut-être Être l'âme séparée du corps Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Même au-delà encore
Être la voix de mes naufrages Le verbe retrouvé Lavé de tout défaut Êpousant le chemin des mots Être, échapper au chantage De tous les lieux communs Êteindre mes volcans Dompter et chevaucher mon temps Être le geste qui engage L'avenir repensé Artisan du retour Au simple rituel d'amour Être, mourir pour mieux renaître Des mensonges d'antan Et n'être rien qu'un être Vivant
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Et au-delà peut-être Être l'âme séparée du corps Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Même au-delà encore

Ethel Levey's Virginia Song (aka "Virginia" and "I Was Born In Virginia")
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Ethel Levey
I was born in a Southern state Where all nature's sublime In a city where the gals are pretty And the sun shines nearly all the time Hospitality there you'll find Bright smiles ev'rywhere When I look 'roun' and see some other town I'm mighty glad I come from there
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town
Something nice about Southerners You don't find ev'rywhere Never con yer, but they smile upon yer And they make you happy while you're there Old Kentucky and Tennessee They can certainly go some Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied To settle in the state I'm from
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town
