South Of The Border ((aka South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)) Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy - Michael Carr First recording - Billy Cotton - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
South of the border - down Mexico way That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face 'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "mañana" Never dreaming that we were parting Then I lied as a whispered "mañana" 'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay South of the border - Mexico way
Happiness is finding a pencil Sleeping in moon light Telling the time Happiness is learning to whistle Tying your shoe For the very first time Happiness is playing the drum In your own school band And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream Knowing a secret Climbing a tree Happiness is five different crayons Catching a firefly Setting him free And happiness is being alone every now and then And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone and anything at all That's loved by you
Happiness is having a sister Sharing a sandwich Getting along Happiness is singing together When day is through And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone and anything at all That's loved by you
Say It Again Composer(s): Paul Varney First performance by: Precious - 1999
Say it again...
I know I heard you right I've been a-lyin' awake at night Thinkin' about three words you said to me...
I know it's hard for you Sometimes you gotta let the feeling through I wanna know exactly how you feel Ooh yeah
I've tried to be patient And give you a little more time Now I need to be sure What's on your mind
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it) say it again
I knew right from the start You were livin' with a broken heart But baby, I knew, could take some time to heal...
But now I must confess The way you're fillin' me with happiness Think that we could be startin' somethin' real Ooh yeah...
I've tried to be patient And give you a little more time Now I need to be sure What's on your mind
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it) say it again
And I just need to be sure That you're mine forever All I'm asking you for Is to tell me whether I should be trustin' in you Tell me if the words you whispered were true Whoh
(Say it, say it, say it, say it...)
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it)
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it) say it again
Happiness Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race I've got no silver and I've got no gold Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
Happiness to me is an ocean tide Or a sunset fading on a mountain side Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain Lifting its face to the falling rain I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain Happiness everywhere
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
A wise old man told me one time That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind I hope when you go to measuring my success That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness

No Quiero Escuchar First performance by: Lydia - 1999
Hace tiempo que ocultas la verdad Te traiciona tu tenue ingenuidad al hablar ¿A quién tratas de engañar?
Vi dos sombras saliendo de un portal Seguí los pasos cómplice de la oscuridad Dura realidad, oh yeah Sentí morir al verla abrazándote
No, no quiero escuchar Tu voz susurrar que me has querido Sé cual es la verdad Qui se confiar y me has mentido
Ahora dices que fue una confusión Sólo celos, fruto de me imaginación Partiste mi vida en dos Oh yeah, sentí morir al verla abrazándote
No, no quiero escuchar Tu voz susurrar que me has querido Sé cual es la verdad Qui se confiar y me has mentido
(No), no (No quiero escuchar), no quiero escuchar (Tu voz susurrar), susurrar (Que me has querido) Sé cual es la verdad Qui se confiar y me has mentido

South City Midnight Lady Composer(s): Patrick Simmons Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Up all night I could not sleep The whiskey that I drank was cheap With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette Well the sun came, night had fled And sleepy eyed I reached my bed I saw you sleepy dreamin' there all covered and warm
South City midnight lady I'm much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that sent out returned with you
When day has left the night behind And shadows roll across my mind I sometimes find myself alone out walkin' the street Yes, and when I'm feelin' down and blue Then all I do is think of you And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
South City midnight lady I'm much obliged indeed You sure have saved this man whose soul was in need I thought there was no reason For all these things I do But the smile that sent out returned with you
Like The Wind Composer(s): Ilia Beyers - Emma Philippa Hjälmås - Wim Claes - John Terra First performance by: Vanessa Chinitor - 1999
The wind has blown for eternity Never looking back, never giving in never Causing the waves on the stormy sea But never staying long, always running on always
Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be Like the wind, be like the wind Like the wind: run forever free
The mountains, full of serenity Uncaring 'bout the wind, never giving in never But waves that roll on the stormy sea Turn mountains into dust, the wind, it wins at last always
Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be Like the wind, be like the wind Like the wind: run forever free
Running on endlessly, and I know that I have to be Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity) Be like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity) Like the wind (The wind has blown for eternity) Run forever free

Daddy had a 1941 Ford and I was just 'bout ten years old We used listen to Hank and Lefty on the radio "Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do" And "Just Look What Thoughts Can Do" Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

Daddy said the hair on his neck would crawl When Hank sang about the light he saw Ol' Hank sure put a lot of heart in the songs he wrote Everytime daddy got a little bit tired "Mom And Dad's Waltz" would make him cry Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul
I learned how to sing and shuffle my shoes Listenin' to Hank sing "Lovesick Blues" We never met ol' Hank but we was awful close I cut my teeth on "Always Late" and "I Love You A Thousand Ways" Ol' Hank and Lefty raised my country soul

Alltid Sommer First performance by: Lars Frederiksen - 1998
Dine øyne leser jeg som en åpen bok Ved å leve sammen leser vi ord på ord (Det å være nær)
Handler om mer enn bare to kan ser (For vi har mer) Det vi har, er så mye mer
Alltid evig sommer, sa du Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv Alltid evig sommer, sa du Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting Evig varme dager, sa du Og rakte hendene ut og sa - det føles ganske bra Oh... alltid sommer, sa du
Bare jeg kunne si med ord hva du er for meg Vi lever, leker sammen, mens vi går samme vei (Det å elske deg)
År for år, og dag for dag (Sammen med deg) En glede som vokser med hvert hjerteslag
Alltid evig sommer, sa du Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv Alltid evig sommer, sa du Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting Evig varme dager, sa du Og rakte hendene ut og sa - det føles ganske bra Oh... alltid sommer, sa du
Min ensomhet forsvant Og kjærligheten vant Så kom og la oss leve Du sa: 'Alltid evig sommer'
(Alltid evig sommer, sa du) Og du kom, og du så, og du vant mitt liv Alltid evig sommer, sa du Hva de andre gjør nå betyr ingenting Evig varme dager, sa du Og rakte hendene ut og sa, det føles ganske bra Oh... alltid sommer, sa du Oh... alltid sommer, sa du

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall I know he's there, but I just had to call Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Don't leave me hanging on the telephone I heard your mother now she's going out the door Did she go to work or just go to the store All those things she said, I told you to ignore Oh why can't we talk again Oh why can't we talk again Oh why can't we talk again Don't leave me hanging on the telephone Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong I want to tell you something you've known all along Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection Oh I can't control myself Oh I can't control myself Oh I can't control myself Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Hang up and run to me Whoah, hang up and run to me Whoah, hang up and run to me Whoah, hang up and run to me Whoah oh oh oh run to me
