Strange Composer(s): Wendell Mobley - Jason Sellers - Neil Thrasher Performer(s): Reba McEntire
I laid there feeling sorry for myself In a bed of Kleenex Stuffin' chocolates in my mouth On the phone with my best friend cussin' my ex He broke my heart Felt like the world had ended I cried myself to sleep Thinkin' I can't get over him
Strange, talk about luck I woke up And, the sun was shining Strange, I ought to be in bed with my head In the pillow cryin' over us But I ain't, ain't love Strange
Got half a mind to spend my whole paycheck On one of those dresses Those strapless black ones That are so famous for teaching lessons Dropped by his place Picked up the rest of my things Hell tell me I look good Ill laugh and say yeah isn't time
Strange, talk about luck I woke up And, the sun was shining Strange, I ought to be in bed with my head In the pillow cryin' over us But I ain't, ain't love Strange
Strange, talk about luck I woke up And, the sun was shining Strange, I ought to be in bed with my head In the pillow cryin' over us But I ain't, ain't love Strange
Strange, talk about luck I woke up And, the sun was shining Strange, Strange

Soledad Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - Duke Ellington - Hubert Ithier - Emilio José - Irving Mills Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Soledad! Es tan tierna como la Amapola Que vivió siempre en el frío sola Sin necesitar de nadie ay! mi soledad! Soledad! Es criatura primorosa Que no sabe que es hermosa Ni sabe de amor ni engaños ay! mi soledad Soledad! Vive como otra cualquiera En la aldea donde naciera Lava cose llora y ríe ay mi soledad Pero yo la quiero así distinta porque es sincera Es natural como el agua que llega Corriendo alegre desde el manantial No sabiendo ni adonde va que feliz vive mi soledad Soledad! Es tan bella como una paloma Y tan clara como el sol que asoma Por entre matorrales ay! mi soledad Soledad es criatura primorosa Que no sabe que es hermosa Ni sabe de amor, ni engaños ay mi soledad! Soledad! Vive como otra cualquiera En la aldea donde naciera Lava cose llora y ríe ay mi soledad Pero yo la quiero así distinta porque es sincera Es natural como el agua que llega Corriendo alegre desde el manantial No sabiendo ni adonde irá Que feliz vive mi soledad
Promise Me You'll Remember Composer(s): John Bettis; Carmine Coppola Performer(s): Harry Connick Jr.
Promise me you'll remember This love together today We may not have tomorrow It's not for us to say Fate isn't kind to lovers It break the hardest heart Promise me you'll remember How good we are
Why do I find the sadness Under your sweetest kiss Destiny seems to whisper It won't stay like this
When wherever we're together I feel time standing still I only know I love you And I always will If we should lose each other Somewhere inside the dark Promise me you'll remember How good we are
When wherever we're together I feel time standing still I only know I love you And I always will If we should lose each other Somewhere inside the dark Promise me you'll remember How good we are
Time isn't kind to lovers It breaks the hardest heart Promise me you'll remember How good we are
Soledad Composer(s): Carlos Gardel - Alfredo Le Pera Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
Yo no quiero que nadie a mí me diga que de tu dulce vida vos ya me has arrancado mi corazón una mentira pide para esperar tu imposible llamado Yo no quiero que nadie se imagine cómo es de amarga y honda mi eterna soledad pasan las noches, y el minutero muele la pesadilla de su lento tic-tac
En la doliente sombra de mi cuarto al esperar sus pasos que quizás no volverán a veces me parece que ellos detienen su andar sin atreverse luego a entrar Pero no hay nadie, y ella no viene es un fantasma que crea mi ilusión y que al desvanecerse va dejando su visión cenizas en mi corazón
En la plateada esfera del reloj las horas que agonizan se niegan a pasar hay un desfile de extrañas figuras que me contemplan con burlón mirar Es una caravana interminable que se hunde en el olvido con su mueca espectral se va con ella tu boca que era mía sólo me queda la angustia de mi mal
Promise Land Composer(s): Joan Armatrading Performer(s): Joan Armatrading
All this time I have followed the rules And I've lived the perfect life Alright By somebody else's standards All this time I did not feel too bad But I was not what you call happy Not really I was searching for something And all this time you were standing by And all this time you were waiting
All this time I've been living a lie And I even fooled myself completely Now I'm really ready Right or wrong I will follow your course And if you go down I'll drown So save me I'm not as strong as I look yea All this time I've been saying No But all this time I've been meaning
Yes I'm ready to take your hand Follow you into the promise land Ooh yea let's talk about it I'm a fool for you Ducking and diving 'Cos I'm a fool for you All this time I've been saying No But all this time I've been meaning Yes I'm ready to take your hand Follow you into the promise land
Promise Her Anything (But Give Her Love) Composer(s): Roy Alfred Performer(s): Dean Martin
Promise her diamonds that sparkle like rain Promise her orchids and lots of champagne Promise her stars in the sky above Promise her anything but give her love
Promise her perfume and glamorous furs Promise her bankbooks that say his and hers Promise her things she's been dreaming of Promise her anything but give her love
You may not be a rich man but you don't need wealth or fame Just show her that you really care and she'll love you just the same Promise her bracelets of silver and jade
Promise her servants a butler and maid She'll cuddle up close like a hand in a glove Just promise her anything but give her love
Promise her bracelets of silver and jade Promise her servants a butler and amide She'll cuddle up close like a hand in a glove Just promise her anything but give her love love love Promise her anything but give her love
Soldiers Of Love First performance by: Liliane Saint-Pierre - 1987
Een nieuwe dag, een nieuw schandaal We zien geweld op het journaal Kinderen gooit men in de strijd Voor idealen, voor profijt We voelen ons schuldig maar drinken een slokje wijn Je vraagt je voortdurend af waarme we bezig zijn
Liefde verjaagt onenigheid Reinigt je ziel, begraaft de strijd Gewoon beginnen bij jezelf, langzaam naar buiten toe Neem elkaars handen, smeed nou die banden toe Hoor je die verre kreet Geen mens vraagt dat leed
Soldiers of love Vuur liefde af Geen kogels meer Alle wapens neer Soldiers of love Vuur liefde af De wapens neer Geen oorlog meer
Ik had een droom waarin ik zag De hele wereld met een vlag Waarop in 't groot te lezen staat Wij willen vrede en geen haat United we stand, together we will fall Leg alles wapens neer, geen oorlog meer
Soldiers of love Vuur liefde af Geen kogels meer Alle wapens neer Soldiers of love Vuur liefde af De wapens neer Geen oorlog meer
Soldiers of love
Soldiers of love Vuur liefde af Geen kogels meer Alle wapens neer Soldiers of love Vuur liefde af De wapens neer Geen oorlog meer Soldiers of love

Rücksicht! First performance by: Hoffmann & Hoffmann - 1983
Ich kann nicht alleine sein mit allen ungeklärten Fragen was haben wir denn Beide falsch gemacht? Und dennoch mag ich keine Menschen seh'n das Glück von anderen tut mir noch weh warum sind wir nicht früher aufgewacht? Wir waren wie verwöhnte Kinder jeder dachte nur an sich
Rücksicht!- Keiner hat das Wort gekannt und Nachsicht!- Die keiner bei den andern fand und Vorsicht!- Dass nie zerbricht, was uns verband! Einsicht!- Dass jeder seine Fehler hat und Weitsicht!- Das Leben findet nicht nur heute statt und Vorsicht!- Dass man den andern nicht zerbricht!
War'n wir wirklich nur voll Liebe blind oder einfach zu bequem? Haben wir denn nicht gemerkt, was uns noch fehlt? Vielleicht ging alles für uns viel zu schnell verwandelt's wirklich nur die Nacht? Wußten wir nicht das der Tag genauso zählt? Fehlte uns die Kraft uns zu vetrauen? War es Angst vor ehrlichem Gefühl?
Rücksicht!- Keiner hat das Wort gekannt und Nachsicht!- Die keiner bei den andern fand und Vorsicht!- Dass nie zerbricht, was uns verband! Einsicht!- Dass jeder sene Fehler hat und Weitsicht!- Das Leben findet nicht nur heute statt und Vorsicht!- Dass man den andern nicht zerbricht!

Soldier's Last Letter (Danish Version: Det Sidste Brev - 1987) Composer(s): Redd Stewart - Ernest Tubb First release by: Ernest Tubb - 1944
When the postman delivered the letter Well, it filled her old heart full of joy But she din't know 'til she read the inside It was the last one from her darling boy
"Dear Mom," was the way that it started "I miss you so much," it went on "And, Mom, I didn't know that I loved you so But I'll prove it when this war is won"
"I'm writing this down in a trench, Mom So don't scold if it isn't so neat For you know as you did, when I was a kid And would come home with mud on my feet"
"Well, the captain just gave us our orders And mom we will carry them through I'll finish this letter the first chance I get But for now I'll just say I love you"
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble As she fought against tears in her eyes For they came unashamed, there was no name And she knew that her darlin' had died
That night as she knelt down by her bedside She prayed, "Lord above, hear my plea Protect all the sons who are fighting tonight And dear God keep America free"
Tes baisers sont aussi chauds que des flammes Et dans tes yeux je vois briller le désir Et tu m'attires avec ton corps et tes armes Mais tu promets toujours sans jamais tenir
Tu remets toujours à demain L'amour qu'on peut faire aujourd'hui Mais je n'attendrai pas toujours ton amour
Tu me ferais mourir d'impatience Tu rends fou et puis tu rentres chez toi J'attends demain, j'attends que viennent ma chance J'attends l'amour que tu me promets chaque fois
Tu remets toujours à demain L'amour qu'on peut faire aujourd'hui Mais je n'attendrai pas toujours ton amour
Fais attention Un jour lassé de promesses Tu resteras prisonnière entre mes bras J'étoufferai tes cris sous mes caresses Cette nuit là tu la passeras chez moi
Tu remets toujours à demain L'amour qu'on peut faire aujourd'hui Mais je n'attendrai pas toujours ton amour

Promesas Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Yo prometo Que estaremos siempre unidos En el gozo y en el llanto Yo prometo Que andaremos siempre juntos Por el mundo paso a paso Prometemos tantas cosas que olvidamos Yo prometo Alcanzarte aquella estrella Que te gusta con mis manos Y esperarte Y quererte y comprenderte Y perdonarte los enfados Prometemos tantas cosas que olvidamos Promesas nada más Promesas que se olvidan Palabras que se lleva el mar Y el viento por la vida Promesas que quizás Se escriban en la arena Y hay otras que aunque quieras Jamás podrás borrar
Soldier Of Fortune Composer(s): Phil Lynott Performer(s): Thin Lizzy
A soldier of fortune came home from war And wondered what he was fighting for This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried Oh he was so broke up inside
When will it end When will it end The bells toll For those about to die
The battle's over the war is won But this soldier of fortune he will carry on He will carry on when all hope is gone He will carry on
He's trained to kill and kill he will As we march along Singing just another soldier song Just another soldier song
I am a soldier of fortune Destined to keep on marching I can hear the pipers calling
I am a soldier of fortune Destined to keep on marching I can hear the pipers calling
Prologue Composer(s): Jeff Lynne Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
Just On The Border Of Your Waking Mind There Lies Another Time Where Darkness And Light Are One And As You Tread The Halls Of Sanity You Feel So Glad To Be Unable To Go Beyond
