Spirit On The Water Composer(s): Les Holroyd Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest
There's a spirit floating On the water There's a shadow lying Down by the shore Wasn't there a year before? A sacrifice for the coat He's wearing A "paradise" for the lady
Who dares Colour him red upon the snow?
We carry the burden upon our shoulder We carry their lives in the palm of our hand Don't you care about the state you're in Or don't you understand?
There's a spirit floating On the water See the shadow lying Down by the shore Wasn't there some years ago??
We carry the burden upon our shoulder We carry their lives in the palm of our hand Don't you care about the world your in Or don't you understand?
Fui pintando de nostalgia y recuerdos de la infancia el destino que la vida me eligió encontré por el camino gente buena, gente mala paraísos y una que otra tentación
Tu me diste la confianza para ver desde mi alma la grandeza de este mundo con los ojos del amor
Estas manos que le dieron voz y vida a mi guitarra maduraron sobre un cuerpo de mujer aprendí con las caídas que el sendero no se anda si no tienes un amor en quien creer
A pesar de la distancia de las cosas que uno pasa a pesar de ser un hombre me hace falta tu querer
He vuelto a casa abrázame mama hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar tu nieto fue varón y tiene el corazón igual al del abuelo que no está He vuelto a casa abrázame mama hay tantas cosas para recordar hoy traigo el porvenir lejano para mi el día que tu me viste partir
He vuelto a casa abrázame.....abrázame otra vez
Fui cantando por la vida mis canciones más queridas a mi isla le compuse un le lo lai no imaginas cuantas veces tus plegarias vieja mía me ayudaron a seguir un poco más
Siempre que vuelvo a tu lado algo nuevo del pasado me recuerda lo importante que tu eres para mi
He vuelto a casa abrázame mama hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar......

He Touched Me Composer(s): Ira Levin; Milton Schafer Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; and various other artists
He touched me He put his hand near mine and then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me a sparkle, a glow Oh, he knew it It wasnt accidental, no, he knew it He smiled and seemed to tell me so, all through it He knew it, I know
Hes real and the world is alive and shining I feel such a wonderful drive toward Valentining
He touched me I simply have to face the fact: he touched me Control myself and try to act as if I remember my name
But he touched me He touched me and suddenly nothing is the same 'Cause he touched me He touched me and suddenly nothing He touched me and suddenly nothing He touched me and suddenly nothing is the same
Happy You Composer(s): Aivaras Stepukonis First performance by: Aivaras Stepukonis - 2002
Wanna show to you alone The world around us, high and low Glowing stars and dancing moon Happy I 'cause happy you
Close your eyes and make a wish Could it be a scorching kiss? You're my sweetest mountain dew, (baby) Happy I 'cause happy you For our dreams come true, they always do
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
Love brings passion, love brings joy Love brings riches we enjoy All is wonder, all is new, (baby) Happy I 'cause happy you For our dreams come true, they always do
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
(Watching the sunrise) Babe, it looks great (Singing a love song) Babe, it sounds great
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies Hoping this day will never end Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme A song of love composed for you
Spirit In The Night Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1973 Covered by multiple other artists
In the summer that I was baptized My father held me to his side As they put me to the water He said how on that day I cried We were prisoners of love, a love in chains He was standin' in the door, I was standin' in the rain With the same hot blood burning in our veins Adam raised a Cain
All of the old faces Ask you why you're back They fit you with position And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac In the darkness of your room Your mother calls you by your true name You remember the faces, the places, the names You know it's never over, it's relentless as the rain Adam raised a Cain
In the Bible Cain slew Abel And east of Eden he was cast You're born into this life paying For the sins of somebody else's past Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames Adam raised a Cain Lost but not forgotten From the dark heart of a dream Adam raised a Cain
He Stopped Loving Her Today Composer(s): Bob Braddock; Claude Putman, Jr. Performer(s): George Jones
He said "I'll love you till I die"
she told him "You'll forget in time" As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two He had underlined in red every single "I love you"
I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time. Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would And it kept runnin' through my mind "this time he's over her for good"
He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today
I Wanna Composer(s): Marija Naumova - Marats Samauskis First performance by: Marie N - 2002
I'd like to go away, but it's easier to say That you know all the tricks that make... that make me stay I'm ready to support this artful game you always play 'Cause you don't know the fee that you will later, later pay
Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
Ay ay ay ay ay ay...
I like a simple game, but it's just easier to say That you own all that rules your crazy, crazy way And even though you'll go on doing whatever... whatever you may Just remember - it's me who find you when... when you was stray
Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
Spiral Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue Lined with poppy girls I didn't stop, stop to say hello Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac Looked me over Thought it best, best that I should go Don't wake me: I'm falling Slow spiral into morning Who's out there? Can't hear you Ears covered - early warning Alarm bells ringing Time to make my peace with the dreary day
I waited atbles - I was tipped in roubles Wine to water Was the best that I could do Wild office parties split the silence Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two
Down the spiral, spinning madly Gathering momentum On a disneyesque adventure ride I fly in colours from richer palettes Famous artists running scared as worlds collide
Hello, I Love You Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She's walking down the street Blind to every eye she meets Do you think you'll be the guy To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game Hello, I love you Won't you tell me your name? Hello, I love you Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high Like a statue in the sky Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet Like a dog that begs for something sweet Do you hope to make her see, you fool? Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello I want you Hello I need my baby Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High Praise the Lord, worship His majesty, He reigns on High
One thing have I desired, O Lord That I may dwell in Your house forever That I may always see Your beauty And know the fullness of Your power
Tell Me Why Composer(s): Ionel Tudor - Mirela Voiculescu Fugaru First performance by: Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel - 2002
We are behaving like two strangers in the gloomy night We have lost so many feelings in this endless fight If you want to go away, now I must obey But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart
Tell me why we have to say goodbye Was our love only a foolish lie? Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry No more tears, no more fears Nothing more to share together
If you want to go away, now I must obey But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart
Tell me why we have to say goodbye Why we broke our wings in flight Tell me why couldn't we just try To forgive and believe we can reach the sky
Tell me why we have to say goodbye Was our love only a foolish lie? Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry No more tears, no more fears Nothing more to share together

Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Al Alberts - Marty Gold
First release by: The Four Aces - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
Tell me why, though I try to forget
Tell me why, why I think of you yet
I know I'll never be free
What has happened to me
Tell me why, when we danced until three
Tell me why, why my heart couldn't see
I never dreamed of romance
Never gave it a chance
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
Tell me, tell me, why

Hello hello I like your smile Hello hello Shall we talk awhile? Would you like some of my tangerine?

Would you like some of my tangerine? I know I'll never treat you mean Always longed to say I love you Always been too high above you Now I'm not so far away Now at last I can say Hello hello Hello Hello
