    (Sixteen reasons)
    Why I (why I) love you

    (One) the way you hold my hand
    (Two) your laughing eyes
    (Three) the way you understand
    (Four) your secret sighs
    They're all part of sixteen reasons why I (why I) love you

    (Five) the way you comb your hair
    (Six) your freckled nose
    (Seven) the way you say you care
    (Eight) your crazy clothes
    That's just half of sixteen reasons why I (why I) love you

    (Nine) snuggling in the car
    (Ten) your wish upon a star
    (Eleven) whispering on the phone
    (Twelve) your kiss when we're alone
    (Thirteen) the way you thrill my heart
    (Fourteen) your voice so neat
    (Fifteen) you say we'll never part
    (Sixteen) our love's complete
    Those are all of sixteen reasons why I (why I) love you

    Pieces Of Ice
    Composer(s): M. Jordan; J. Capek
    Performer(s): Diana Ross



    Walking blind across this silver room
    Looking through a smoke menagerie
    Looking at your face inside of me
    In the darkness you're Tunisia

    Nights are long entropic
    I can't seem to cope
    It's cold when I look in your eyes

    Pieces of ice
    Pieces of ice
    Pieces of ice
    Pieces of ice

    Where the zebra lightning strikes the room
    Foreign words are strutted through the gloom
    Women swooping down like birds of prey
    Never close but never far away

    Night are long entropic
    I can't seem to cope
    It's cold when I look in your eyes

    Pieces of ice
    Pieces of ice
    Pieces of ice
    Pieces of ice

    En Un Mundo Nuevo
    Composer(s): T. Luz - R. Trabucchelli First performance by: Karina - 1971



    Sólo al final del camino, las cosas claras verás
    la razón de vivir y el porqué de mil cosas más
    Al mirar hacia atrás, cuando llegues comprenderás

    Busca las cosas sencillas y encontrarás la verdad
    La verdad de ese amor, lo demás déjalo pasar
    Solamente el amor con el tiempo no morirá

    Al fin del camino se harán realidad los sueños que llevas en ti
    si en todo momento en tu caminar
    la vida has llenado de amor y verdad

    Al fin del camino podrás encontrar el bien que esperaste sentir
    olvida el pasado, pues no volverá
    conserva el amor que hay en ti

    Al fin del camino habrá un despertar de nuevo volver a vivir
    si en todo momento en tu caminar
    la vida has llenado de amor y verdad

    Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir
    tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
    en un mundo nuevo y feliz

    Al fin del camino en ti llevarás la fe y la ilusión de vivir
    Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
    en un mundo nuevo y feliz
    en un mundo nuevo y feliz
    en un mundo nuevo y feliz

    Papara papapa papara papa… papara papa parara…
    Tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad
    si llenas tu vida de amor y paz
    si llenas tu vida de amor y paz
    en un mundo nuevo y feliz

    Pieces Of April
    Composer(s): Dave Loggins
    Performer(s): Three Dog Night;
    and various other artists



    April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers
    And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called ours
    We had no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed
    We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain
    we would laugh it off

    I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
    I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

    We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossemed green
    Feelings as I did in April, not really knowing what it means
    But it must be ther that youstand beside me now to make me feel this way
    Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May

    I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
    I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

    Sixteen Miles (To Seven Lakes)
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot



    Early in the morning when the dew is on
    Each and every rose bud, you will find me gone
    So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again
    Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name

    Seven lonely hours on a morning train
    Take me to a place where I won't come back again
    Seven lonely Pullmans speeding down the line
    Takin' me away from an old love of mine

    Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines
    In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines
    Where the fish swim up and down and the sparklin' waters falls
    Where the thunder roll and the lonely puma calls

    Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name
    Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
    Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small
    Then forget so I won't remember you at all

    A millionaire looking for another million dollars
    A poor man looking for work

    So go down and play your disco music
    We're gonna rock and have a whole lot of fun

    Repeat Chorus

    Give a piece of your
    Give me some piece of mind
    Give me a piece of yours
    Now take a piece of mine

    Mary had a little lamb
    Her fleece was just as while as snow
    Yeah, Little Jack Horner stuck in his thumb
    And Mary said, "Don't do that no more"

    Repeat Chorus - three times more till end

    Diese Welt
    Composer(s): F. Jay - D. Zimmermann
    First performance by: Katja Ebstein - 1971



    Sternenklare Nächte
    und die Luft ist wie Jasmin
    Flüsse wie Kristall so klar
    und Wälder saftig grün

    Kann es das noch geben
    oder ist es schon zu spät
    daß für alle überall
    dieser Traum noch in
    Erfüllung geht

    Diese Welt
    diese Welt
    hat das Leben uns geschenkt
    Sie ist dein
    sie ist mein
    es ist schön auf ihr
    was werden soll
    liegt an dir

    Rauch aus tausend Schloten
    senkt sich über Stadt und Land
    Wo noch gestern Kinder war'n
    bedeckt heut Öl den Strand

    In den Düsenriesen
    fliegen wir dem Morgen zu
    wie wird dieses Morgen sein
    sinnlos oder voller Sonnenschein

    Diese Welt
    diese Welt...

    Und ist sie auch ein Staubkorn nur
    in der Unendlichkeit
    nur dieser Stern ist unser Stern
    die andern sind viel zu weit

    Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

    Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!
    Didn’t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
    Honey, you know I did!
    And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ve had enough
    But I’m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough

    I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
    Take it!
    Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
    Oh, oh, break it!
    Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Oh, oh, have a!
    Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
    You know you got it if it makes you feel good
    Oh, yes indeed

    You’re out on the streets looking good
    And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain’t right
    Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night
    Babe, I cry all the time!
    And each time I tell myself that I, well I can’t stand the pain
    But when you hold me in your arms, I’ll sing it once again

    I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
    Take it!
    Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
    Oh, oh, break it!
    Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah

    Take it!
    Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!

    I got sixteen chicks, sittin' in a tree
    One turned around and took a look at me
    Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
    You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin'
    just to keep from cryin'
    I knew some day that the tide would turn
    We all got a lesson that we gotta learn
    Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
    You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin'
    just to keep from cryin'

    Come to my house, but you couldn't come in
    Me and my baby was making friends
    Hey, hey, little chick tell me what's on your mind
    You got me walkin' and talkin' and laughin'
    just to keep from cryin'
    You make my temperature rise, my head going 'round

    Piece By Piece
    Composer(s): Todd Rundgren; The Tubes
    Performer(s): The Tubes



    She looks good
    but she's not alltogether right
    all the parts are not screwed on tight
    there's a touch of tragedy
    When she moves
    I can see the secret showing through
    she'd deny it if she thought I knew
    but she could never hide from me

    Anyone would think there's nothing wrong
    she looks so satisfied
    but I've know about it much too long
    she can't conceal what she feels inside
    I'm gonna show her that
    piece by piece, inch by inch
    I can put her back together again
    I'll supply the love she lacks
    and give her back
    exactly what she needs
    bringing it piece by piece

    all I need
    to find a way around her depends
    is just a little common sense
    I don't have a strategy
    I'll be the re
    like I have so many other times
    she'll reveal to me a certain side
    that all that I can see

    anyone would think there's nothing wrong
    she seems like she's complete
    but it's obvious its been too long
    since she believed what she needs is me

    Chorus:
    I'm gonna show her that
    piece by piece, inch by inch
    I can put her back together again
    I'll supply the love she lacks
    and give her back
    exactly what she needs
    bringing it piece by piece

    anyone would that there's nothing wrong
    but she's not fooling me
    everybody wants to lead her on
    but I believe what she needs is me
    what she needs is me

    Chorus:

    I'm gonna show her that
    piece by piece, inch by inch
    I can put her back together again..
    I'll supply the love she lacks
    and give her back
    exactly what she needs
    bringing it piece by

    Happy birthday, happy birthday baby

    Patty cake, patty cake, bakers man
    Put it in the oven as fast as you can
    Some like it hot
    Some like it cold
    I like it in the pot
    Nine days old

    Piece a-puddin' hot, piece a-puddin' cold
    Piece a-puddin' in the pot nine days old

    Didn't care much about goin' to school
    It was all work and no play
    But when I came home about half past three
    I'd love to hear my mama say

    I thought I had a steak all juicy and brown
    I looked at my plate, here's all I found
    I don't want ham, I don't want greens
    There's only one dish that pops my seams

    Mom said, "Son here's fifteen cents
    Go watch the elephant jump the fence"
    He jumped so high, he started to fly
    He didn't get back till the Fourth of July

    Grandpa said, I can't trust my eyes
    It sure looks like one of Grandma's pies
    Run there boy and fetch me some
    If I pop my bridge, I'll use my gums

    The Six-Five Special's right on time
    Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
    Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
    My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
    The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

    When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me

    Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
    See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
    Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far

    (Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

    The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
    The Six-Five Special right on time
    Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
    Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
    My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
    The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

    (Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

    The Six-Five Special's steamin' down the line
    The Six-Five Special's right on time
    Coal in the boiler burnin' up 'n bright
    Rollin' and a-rockin' through the night
    My heart's a-beatin' 'cause I'll be meetin'
    The Six-Five Special at the station tonight

    Hear the whistle blowin' twelve to the bar
    See the lights a-glowin' bright as a star
    Now the wheels a-slowin', can't be far

    (Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

    The Six-Five Special better not be late
    The Six-Five Special, platform eight
    The train starts a-brakin' hard as can be
    The station is a shakin' like a tree
    And I won't be missin' that special kissin'
    When the Six-Five Special brings my baby to me

    (Over the points, over the points, over the points, over the points)

    When the Six-Five Special brings my baby back to me

    (Over the points, over the points, over the points ...)

    Piddle, Twiddle And Resolve
    Composer(s): Sherman Edwards; Donald Meyer
    Performer(s): New Broadway Cast Recording



    Adams:
    Dear God! For one solid year they have been sitting there for one year doing nothing!

    I do believe you've laid a curse on North America
    A curse that we here now rehearse in Philadelphia
    A second flood,
    A simple famine
    plagues of locusts everywhere
    or a cataclysmic earthquake
    I'd accept with some despair
    but no you send us congress
    good God sir was that fair?

    I say this with humility in Philadelphia
    we're your responsibility in Philadelphia
    If you don't want to see us hanging
    on some far off British hill
    if you don't want the voice of independency
    forever still
    then God sir get thee to it!
    For congress never will

    Chorus:
    You see we piddle twiddle and resolve
    not one damn thing do we solve
    piddle twiddle and resolve
    nothing's ever solved
    in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy, Philadelphia

    Congress Man: Someone ought to open up a window

    Adams: Oh shut up!

    They may sit here for years and years in Philadelphia
    These indecisive grenadiers of Philadelphia
    They can't decide on what is right or wrong
    or what is good or bad
    I'm convinced the only purpose
    this congress ever had
    was to gather here specifically
    to drive John Adams mad!

    Repeat Chorus

    Abigail: John, John, is that you carrying on? John?

    Adams: Oh Abigail, Abigail I have such a desire to knock heads together!

    Abigail: I know my dearest I know, but that's because you make everything so complicated
    It's all quite simple really

    Just tell congress to declare independency
    then sign your name get our of there
    and hurry home to me.
    Our children all have dysentery
    little Tom keeps turning blue
    little Abby has the measles
    and I'm coming down with flu
    they say we may get small pox

    Adams: Uh, Madam, what else is new?

    Abigail, in my last letter I told you that the king has collected
    twelve thousand German Mercenaries to send against us
    I asked you to organize the ladies to make salt peter for gunpowder
    Have you done as I asked?

    Abigail: No John, I have not
    Adams: Why have you not?
    Abigail: Because you neglected to tell us how salt peter is made
    Adams: By treating sodium nitrate with potassium chloride of course!
    Abigail: Oh yes, of course
    Adams: Will it be done then?
    Abigail: I'm afraid we have a more ugent problem John
    Adams: More urgent madame?

    Abigail:
    There's one thing every woman's missed in Massachusetts bay
    Don't smirk at me you egotist pay heed to what I say
    We've been from Framingham to Boston and we cannot find a pin
    don't you know there is a war on
    say the tradesmen with a grin
    well we will not make salt peter until you send us pins

    Adams: Pins madame? Salt peter
    Abigail: Pins
    Adams: salt peter
    Abigail: Pins
    Adams: Salt peter
    Abigail: pins
    Adams: Salt peter
    Abigail: Pins
    Adams: Peter!
    Abigail: Pins!
    Adams:Peter!
    Abigail:Pins!
    Adams: Peter!
    Abigail: Pins!
    Adams: Peter!
    Abigail: Pins!
    Adams: Done Madame, done
    Abigail: Done, John, done

    Sitting In Limbo
    (Danish Version: Moesgård Strand - 1981)
    Composer(s): Gully Bright; James Chambers
    First release by: Jimmy Cliff - 1971
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Sitting here in Limbo
    Waiting for the tide turn
    Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo
    So many things I've got to learn
    Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance
    But I know that my faith will lead me on

    Sitting here in Limbo
    Waiting for the dice to roll
    Yeah, now, sitting here in Limbo
    Still got some time to search my soul
    Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance
    But I know that my faith will lead me on

    I don't know where life will take me
    But I know where I have been
    I don't know what life will show me
    But I know what I have seen
    Tried my hand at love and friendship
    That is past and gone
    And now it's time to move along

    Sitting here in Limbo
    Like a bird ain't got a song
    Yeah, I'm sitting here in Limbo
    And I know it won't be long
    'Til I make my getaway, now
    Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance
    But I know that my faith will lead me on

    I don't know where life will take me
    But I know where I have been
    I don't know what life will show me
    But I know what I have seen
    Tried my hand at love and friendship
    That is past and gone
    And now it's time to move along

    Gonna lead me on now
    Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance
    But I know that my faith will lead me on
    Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo
    Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo
    Sitting in Limbo, Limbo, Limbo
    Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance
    But I know that my faith will lead me on

    Pictures Of Matchstick Men
    Composer(s): Francis Rossi
    Performer(s): Status Quo



    When I look up to the sky
    I see your eyes, a funny kind of yellow
    I rush home to bed, I sunk my head
    I see your face underneath my pillow
    I wake next morning, tired still yawning
    See your face come peeking through my window

    Pictures of matchstick men and you
    Images of matchstick men and you
    All I ever see is them and you

    Windows echo your reflection
    When I look in their direction gone
    When will this haunting stop
    Your face, it just won't leave me alone

    Pictures of matchstick men and you
    Images of matchstick men and you
    All I ever see is them and you

    You in the sky, you with the sky
    You make me cry, your eyes

    You in the sky, you with the sky
    You make me cry, your eyes

    Picture of matchstick men and
    Picture of matchstick men and
    Picture of matchstick men and
