Song To See You Through Composer(s): Tom Johnston Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Sometimes I can't see past a day I know I'm growin' tired and I feel it, yeah And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring it's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah

It's the only thing you can do you know you got to see them through
Day to day, I tell ya, day by day I'm seein' faces all around me When you start to smile, I just stop for a while And I say baby, let me know you

Purple Robe Composer(s): Odell McLeod Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers; and various other artists
There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore As He stood alone, forsaken on that day And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilot came In this man I find no reason He should die But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away And this mighty river I may never see But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church And my River Of Jordan that will be
Verliebt In Dich Composer(s): Cheyenne Stone First performance by: Stone & Stone - 1995
Manchmal, wenn ich ratlos bin Und mein Glaube sich verirrt Tief in mir die Trauer brennt Jage nur hinter Träumen her Ist mein Leben endlos leer? Finde keinen Frieden mehr Sehnsucht schreit, Geborgenheit Doch du bist da neben mir
Hey!
Kennst du das Gefühl? Du bist allein und die Seele friert Mensch sein ist so schwer Traue Deinem Engel tief in dir Glaub' mir, ich steh' zu dir Du allein bist der Grund dafür Ich fühle dich nah, so nah bei mir Fängst alle meine Tränen auf
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Erinnerung bleibt und erzählt von dir Allein du bist der Grund dafür
Angst, ich lass dich weiter ziehen Hab' dich oft genug erkannt Ich weiß, mir kann jetzt nichts passieren Trage ein Herz voll Licht in mir Stille Nacht, ich traue dir Für mich gibt es keine Zweifel mehr Kann dich niemals mehr verlieren Ein Traum wird wahr, nur mit dir
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Erinnerung bleibt und erzählt von dir Allein du bist der Grund dafür
Du kannst meine Seele sehen All das Licht in ihr gehört nur dir
Oh... bin verliebt in dich Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht Bin so verliebt in dich Bin so verliebt in dich

Song To A Seagull Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1967 and multiple other artists
Fly silly seabird No dreams can possess you No voices can blame you For sun on your wings My gentle relations Have names they must call me For loving the freedom Of all flying things My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
I came to the city And lived like old Crusoe On an island of noise In a cobblestone sea And the beaches were concrete And the stars paid a light bill And the blossoms hung false On their store window trees My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
Out of the city And down to the seaside To sun on my shoulders And wind in my hair But sandcastles crumble And hunger is human And humans are hungry For worlds they can't share My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
I call to a seagull Who dives to the waters And catches his silver-fine Dinner alone Crying where are the footprints That danced on these beaches And the hands that cast wishes That sunk like a stone My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach out of cry
Dreamin' Composer(s): Richard Abbot - Barry Woods
First performance by: Eddie Friel - 1995
Dreamin' Dreamin' on a silver sea of moonlight Magic fills the night Melodies alight, when I'm dreamin'
Dreamin' Dreamin' how I love this nowhere feelin' Round and round I go Shadows soft and low, when I'm dreamin'
You can sail on any ocean Dream an easy melody Moonlight magic shines so gently Moonlight magic harmony
Night time slips away in silence (Dreamin') And daylight steals across my silver sea And goodbye dreamin' in the moonlight (Goodbye) Sleepy wake up to reality
Lalala... Lala lala lala lala lalala... Lala la lala... Underneath the stars, dreamin'
Far away a blue horizon Driftin' on the midnight sea Moonlight magic shines so gently Moonlight magic harmony
(Dreamin') (Lala lala lala lala lalala...) Sleepy wake up to reality (Dreamin')

Spegni quella luce Io e te il mondo e' qui' La vita e' qui'
Noi siamo nelle mani dell'amore

Pure Jam Composer(s): Peter Barakan; Yukihiro Takahashi Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orchestra
This must be the ugliest piece of bread I've ever eaten Wrapped in a foil-like substance It's an unidentified object Shapelessly square God it's so ugly (Jam desho) I wonder why Maybe the answer lies (Sore jam desho, dozo) In the thickness or the size

Well I saw the thing comin out of the sky It had the one long horn, one big eye I commenced to shakin' and I said "ooh-eee" It looks like a purple eater to me
It was a one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater A one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me {one eye}
Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree I said Mr. purple people eater, don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff I wouldn't eat you cuz you're so tough
It was a one eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater One eyed, one horned flyin' purple people eater One eyed, one horned, flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me {one horn}
I said Mr. purple people eater, what's your line? He said it's eatin' purple people and it sure is fine But that's not the reason that I came to land I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater We wear short shorts flyin' purple people eater Sure looks strange to me
And then he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground He started to rock, really rockin' around It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune Sing a boop boop aboopa lopa lum lum boom
Well bless my soul flyin' purple people eater Pigeon toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater I like short shorts flyin' little people eater Sure looks strange to me purple people
Then he went on his way, and then what do you know? I saw him last night on a tv show He was blowing it out, a really knockin' them dead playin' rock and roll music through the horn on his head
