Tell Me Who You Are Composer(s): Michael Ronson First performance by: Malene - 2002
Morning light breaking darkness, bringing dawn on again I can feel you are restless, I'm afraid for day to begin You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free
Tell me who you are, show me what to do Let me be the one that you hold on to Open up your heart, let me look inside Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide So tell me who you are
Not a word, not a whisper, I'm confused, feelin' low In my dreams - sweet surrender, through your arms - like a river I flow You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free
Tell me who you are, show me what to do Let me be the one that you hold on to Open up your heart, let me look inside Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide So tell me who you... tell me who you are
You are here, still around me, but your mind goes runnin' free Oh...
(Tell me who you are, show me what to do) Tell me who you are (Let me be the one that you hold on to) Let me be the one you hold on to (Open up your heart, let me look inside) Open up your heart and let me look inside (Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide) Baby, we'll go wrong if you hide
Tell me who you are, show me what to do Let me be the one that you hold on to Open up your heart, let me look inside Baby, we'll go wrong if you try to hide So tell me who you are
Hello Mary Lou French Title: Bye Bye Mon Amour
Composer(s): Gene Pitney Performer(s): Rick Nelson
You passed me by one sunny day Flashed those big brown eyes my way And oo I wanted you forever more Now I'm not one that gets around I swear my feet stuck to the ground And though I never did meet you before
Chorus: I said "Hello Mary Lou Goodbye heart Sweet Mary Lou I'm so in love with you I knew Mary Lou We'd never part So Hello Mary Lou Goodbye heart"
I saw your lips I heard your voice believe me I just had no choice Wild horses couldn't make me stay away I thought about a moonlit night My arms about good an' tight That's all I had to see for me to say
Spiegelbeeld (Adapted from: Tender Years - 1961) (French Version: Tes Tendres Années - 1963) Composer(s): Darrell Edwards - Gerrit den Braber Performer(s): Willeke Alberti - 1963
Spiegelbeeld vertel eens even Ben ik heus zo oud als jij Is het waar, ben ik twintig Is m'n tienertijd voorbij 'k Ben wel jong maar ik ben toch niet zo jong meer als ik was 'k Ging zo graag nog een keertje Terug naar de klas (naar de kla-ha-has)
Spiegelbeeld 'k kan je haten Want je geeft geen dag terug Waarom gaan toch die jaren Als je jong bent zo vlug 'k Ben wel jong maar er is toch al zoveel herinnering Spiegelbeeld uit al die jaren Vergeet ik geen ding (geen di-hi-hing)
Spiegelbeeld m'n eerste vriendje Was een joch zo oud als ik 'k Kreeg van hem m'n eerste zoentje 't Was een heerlijk ogenblik 'k Ben wel jong maar dat zou ik nog zo graag eens overdoen Quick quick slow, de eerste dansles Wat was ik nog groen 'k Heb alleen nog wat foto's en die zeggen 't me weer 't Is voorbij, m'n eerste baljurk Die draag ik niet mee-he-heer (niet mee-he-heer)
Hay Que Bailar Reggae French Title: Il Faut Danser Reggae Composer(s): J. Ballesteros; Toto Cutugno; Charles Level; Minellono; Domenico Modugno Performer(s): Dalida
Perdida en una isla muy lejos de la gran ciudad Que calor, que calor Tumbada en una playa de fina arena y blanca sal Bajo el sol, bajo el sol La musica me lleva y creo estar allá en un rincon faliz y tropical
Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer Hay que bailar reggae cubiendote la piel con flores de papel Hay que bailar reggae aunque no sepas ven que yo te ensenaré Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré
El tiempo es todo nuestro el viento trae felicidad A tu amor a mi amor La luna nos sonmíé con cara de complicidad Corazon, corazon La musica me lleva y creo estar allá En un rincon feliz y tropical
Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer Hay que bailar reggae cubiendote la piel con flores de papel Hay que bailar reggae aunque no sepas ven que yo te ensenaré Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré
Hay que bailar reggae sonar cantar beber hasta el amanecer Hay que bailar reggae cubiendote la piel con flores de papel Hay que bailar reggae aunque no sepas ven que yo te ensenaré Hay que bailar reggae porque te conocí porque me enamoré

Tes Tendres Années (Adapted from: Tender Years - 1961) (Dutch Version: Spiegelbeeld - 1963) Composer(s): Darrell Edwards - Ralph Bernet Performers(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1963
Tu me dis que tu l'aimes Je sais oui tu dis vrai Et pourtant moi je t'aime Bien plus fort en secret Un matin quand il partira Quand tu pleureras Dis-toi bien que tu vivais Tes tendres années
Dans tes yeux la lumière N'est là que pour lui Le sais-tu la lumière Ça n'est pas infini De ne voir en lui qu'un espoir Au jour des regrets Dis-toi bien que tu vivais Tes tendres années
Si mon cur ne peut-être Pour toi le premier J'attendrai afin d'être Dans ta vie le dernier Je serai dans ton avenir Loin des souvenirs Pour te faire oublier Tes tendres années
Oui je serai dans ton avenir Loin des souvenirs Pour te faire oublier Tes tendres années
Hello Little Girl French Title: Hello Petite Fille Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles
Hello little girl Hello little girl Hello little girl
When I see you everyday I say: mm mm hello little girl When you're passing on your way I say: mm mm hello little girl When I see you passing by I cry mm mm hello little girl When I try to catch your eye I cry mm mm hello little girl
I send you flowers but you don't care You never seem to see me standing there I often wonder what you're thinking of I hope it's me and love love love
So I hope there'll come a day when you'll say: mm you're my little girl It's not the first time that it's happened to me It's been a long lonely time and it's funny funny to see that I'm about to lose my mind
So I hope there'll come a day when you say: mm mm you're my little girl, mm mm mm you're my little girl, mm mm mm You're my little girl, oh yeah You're my little girl
Hay Otra Cancion Performer(s): Luis Alberto Spinetta & Fito Paez
Una canción para viajar lejos de todo muy lejos de acá una canción me basta, me alcanza Temo vivir para pensar sin un amor que me pueda cambiar la posición del alma del alma Vientos de un amor sin dirección hacen que todo siga Guardo un amor en el placard de vez en cuando lo llevo a pasear en mi gabán de aire en el aire Para sentir hay que flotar como burbuja de aquí para allá hay que saber qué pasa que es lo qué realmente pasa Y hay otra canción sin dirección una señal en la oscuridad significados de algún lugar hacen que todo en mi vida se olvide Vientos de amor sin dirección hacen que todo tiempo feliz ya no se dé sin tenerte aquí hacen que todo en mi vida se olvide
Hello It's Me Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): Todd Rundgren
Hello, it's me I've thought about us for a long, long time Maybe I think too much but something's wrong There's something here that doesn't last too long Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you Or seeing anything as much as I do you I take for granted that you're always there I take for granted that you just don't care Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me that you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should
Hay Momentos De Amor Composer(s): José Luis Perales Performer(s): Raphael
Hay momentos felices que suelen pasar Hay momentos amargos que suelen quedar Dentro del corazón, presos en un rincón o en una lágrima Hay momentos de amor que son palomas Hay momentos de amor que se demoran Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren llegar Y se quedan rondando la puerta Hay momentos de amor bajo la luna Hay momentos de amor llenos de dudas Y hay momentos de amor que no saben volar Y se quedan rondando la puerta Y se muere el sol Hay miradas tan dulces que suelen pasar Hay miradas de llanto que suelen quedar Llenas de soledad, presas en un adiós o en una lágrima Hay momentos de amor llenos de vida Hay momentos de amor que te lastiman Y hay momentos de amor que nos hacen temblar Y que son la razón de la vida Hay momentos de amor en el silencio Hay momentos de amor que lleva el viento Y hay momentos de amor que no quieren volar Y se quedan temblando de miedo
Addicted To You Composer(s): Maki Kolehmainen - Janina Frostell - Tracy Lipp First performance by: Laura - 2002
You don't know how I was then All broken up, my pride was stolen I lived a little lie, I wouldn't show the hurting inside
I was livin' in emptiness, I was out of love Guard my heart, my wall was so high You came in with all your confidence You swept me away off the ground, you taught me to fly
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Addicted to you, addicted to you So addicted to you, I'm so addicted to you, oh...
Why couldn't this be simple? We'd live just like the other people Now that you're far away, my missing is a constant heartache
'Cause those sparkles back in my eyes I wish I could stay just like this, don't want you to go When you're far away, fantasize That you're in my arms and I jump when I hear the phone
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Addiction - it's hitting hard Now it's got its hold Oh... I can't let go
(Holding on until the next time,) I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside How'd I fall so hard? - I'm so addicted to you
Holding on until the next time, I can't get you out of my mind If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you
Hello In There Composer(s): John Prine Performer(s): John Prine; and various other artists
We had an apartment in the city Me and Loretta liked living there And it'd been years since the kids had grown A life of their own, left us alone
John and Linda live in Omaha And Joe is somewhere on the road And we lost Davy in the Korean War And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore
You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers get wilder every day Old people just get lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more She sits and stares through the back door screen And all the news just repeats itself Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen
Some day I'll go and call up Rudy We worked together at the factory But what'll I say when he asks, "What's new?" "Nothin' What's with you?" Nothin' much to do
You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers get wilder every day Old people just get lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, Hello"
So if you're walkin' down the street some day And spot some hollow, ancient eyes Please don't just pass 'em by and stare As if you didn't care, say "Hello in there, Hello"
Spiders & Snakes Composer(s): Jim Stafford - David Bellamy First release by: Jim Stafford Covered by multiple other artists
I remember when Mary Lou said she wanted to walk me home from school Well I said yes I do She said I don't have to go right home And I would kinda like to be alone some if you would I said me too And so we took a stroll and wound up down by the swimming hole And she said do what you want to do Got silly and found a frog in the water by the hollow log And I shook it at her and I said this frog's for you, she said
I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you
Well I took out that girl from time to time, I called her up when I got a dime I said hello baby, she said ain't you cool Said do you remember when, and would you like to get together again She said I'll see you after school I was so shy and so for awhile most of my love was touch and smile So she said come on over here, I was nervous I guess Still looking for something to slip down her dress And she said let's make it perfectly clear
I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you I don't like spiders and snakes And that ain't what it takes to love me Like I wanna be loved by you
Hawk-Eye Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(Hawkeye)
They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye All the fellows call me Hawkeye 'cause I never miss a trick I can spot a pretty chick a mile away One look and I can tell just how her lips are gonna taste I know within a fraction what she measures in the waist I know what's goin' on behind that twinkle in her eye And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye
I keep my eyes wide open And my gas pony buggy to ride And nearly every evenin' There's a pretty kitten sittin' by my side
They call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye It's the hawk that gets the highest flyin' chicken every time Even though a wolf has chased her up a tree But I can spot a doll and have her cuddled in my arms Before the average wolf begins to howl about her charms I got her kiss before he even has a chance to try And that is why they call me Hawke-e-e-e-eye

Never Let It Go Composer(s): Marcos Ubeda First performance by: Afro-dite - 2002
(Don't ever stop) All right, girls (Are you shakin'?) Here we go
Surrounded by sharp lookin' eyes, dancin' in a fever Forgettin' all the words of advise, movin' in and closer What a life we have, what a life we live And it's smiling right at us What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin'
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now
Blinded by the scent of your love, sailing on this feeling And my mind is high up above, I don't know if I'm dreaming What a life we have, what a life we live And it's smiling right at us What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin' (We'll be shakin')
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight (We will reach the top) Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin'
What a life we have, what a life we live What a life we share, gonna get it there
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin' (Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin')
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight And when the night is over, I'll take you in my arms now
So never let it go, never stop till you know We'll be reachin' for the top tonight Surrender to the beat, up and down in the heat We'll be shakin', shakin' (Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin')
