Spirits (Having Flown) Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb - Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
I never fell in love so easily Where the four winds blow I carry on I'd like to take you where my spirit flys Through the empty skys We go alone never before having flown Faster than light'ning is this heart of mine In the face of time I carry on I'd like to take you where my rainbow ends Be my lover friend We go alone never before having flown
I am your hurricane Your fire in the sun how long must I live in the air you are my paradise My angel on the run How long must I wait It's the dawn of the feeling that starts from the moment you're there
You'll never know what you have done for me You broke all those rules I live upon I'd like to take you to my shangrila neither here or far away from home never before having flown There I'd like to take you where my spirit flys Through the empty skys we go alone Never before having flown
He Was Thinking Of Me (Traditional) Performer(s): Del Way
I've wondered what He was thinking of
when the crowds came that day And took Him from the garden and His disciples walked away What could have gone thru His mind as they nailed Him to the tree? Oh, but now, now I know He was thinking of me
Chorus: He was thinking of me all the way to Calvary He had me on His mind all of the time so that I could be free It's hard to understand; now I can see He suffered and died so that I could have life He was thinking of me
As Jesus hung on the cross that day, a multitude gathered 'round Each one He was dying to save, but He saw more than just that crowd For His mind went to the future, when He would hear my sinning plea For He knew I, too, would need a Savior Thank you God, for thinking of me
Repeat Chorus
Oh, Jesus has never failed me since I met Him that day And His Spirit brings me comfort when life's trials come my way Through His blood I have forgiveness, and it flows eternally He paid it all though the cost was great Jesus paid that price for me
Repeat Chorus
He suffered and died so that You could have life He was thinking of You
Open Your Heart Composer(s): Hallgrímur Óskarsson - Birgitta Haukdal Brynjarsdóttir First performance by: Birgitta - 2003
Every time you close your eyes I can see the light that you're hiding Like a shadow in the sky Of an eagle's wing when it's gliding
Don't be afraid, I'm not gonna run away Don't let it wait, until it's too late For what you have to say
Open your heart, show me the pain It's all part of who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Just open your beating heart to me
Everything you share with me Turns a little darkness into light And that is how we're meant to be Truth will keep the light shining brighter
Open your heart, show me the pain It's all part of who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Just open your heart to me
Reach out, I'm right by your side Exactly where I want to be The sum of you and me is we, yeah
Open your heart, show me the pain Show me who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Just open your heart to me
Open your heart, show me the pain It's all part of who you are Tell me your dreams, your hopes and your fears Let go and just show me who you are, yeah Hey... your heart
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

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
