    Everyway That I Can
    Composer(s): Demir Demirkan, Sertab Erener
    First performance by: Sertab Erener - 2003



    I feel you're moving on a different cause
    Makin' a way for a distant course
    You say you love me and you roll your eyes
    Turn to stare at the empty skies

    I thought it was over and we passed all that
    All we've done is to pass back to frame number one
    C'mon, now, now
    I wanna show you all again what it would be like
    Just let go and let me love you

    Everyway that I can
    I'll try to make you love me again
    Everyway that I can
    I'll give you all my love and then
    Everyway that I can
    I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again

    Hold me closer, oh, so good
    You make me feel just like I should
    I know whatcha thinkin': uh-hu good
    Now the rest of the world is overruled

    Tell me whatcha see in other girls all around
    Come on closer and tell me whatcha don't find here
    Come on, now, now
    I wanna give you everything you've been missin' out
    Just let go and let me love you

    Everyway that I can
    I'll try to make you love me again
    Everyway that I can
    I'll give you all my love and then
    Everyway that I can
    I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again

    I'm in love with you
    I'll do all you want me to
    You make me wanna huh-huh
    Make me wanna huh-huh-huh

    I'm in love with you
    I'll do all you want me to
    You make me wanna huh-huh
    Make me wanna huh-huh-huh

    Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
    Nothing in the world that could stop me, no sir
    No, no, no, no, no

    Everyway that I can
    I'll try to make you love me again
    Everyway that I can
    I'll give you all my love and then
    Everyway that I can
    I'll give you all my love and then
    Everyway that I can
    I'll cry, I'll die and make you mine again

    He (She) Thinks I Still Care
    Composer(s): Steve Duffy; Dickey Lee Lipscomb
    Performer(s): Pattty Loveless;
    and various other artists



    Just because I ask a friend about him
    Just because I spoke his name somewhere
    Just because I rang his number by mistake
    He thinks I still care

    Just because I hog the same old places
    With the memory of him lingers everywhere
    Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be
    He thinks I still care

    But if he's happy thinkin' I still need him
    Then let that silly notion bring him cheer
    But how could he ever be so foolish
    Oh where did he get such an idea

    Just because I ask a friend about him
    Just because I spoke his name somewhere
    Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces
    He thinks I still care
    He thinks I still care

    Spirits In The Material World
    (Spanish Version: Alma En El Mundo Material - 1998)
    Composer(s): Sting
    First release by: The Police - 1981
    Covered by multiple other artists



    There is no political solution
    To our troubled evolution
    Have no faith in constitution
    There is no bloody revolution

    We are spirits in the material world

    Our so-called leaders speak
    With words they try to jail you
    They subjugate the meek
    But it's the rhetoric of failure

    We are spirits in the material world

    Where does the answer lie?
    Living from day to day
    If it's something we can't buy
    There must be another way

    We are spirits in the material world

    He Will Break Your Heart
    Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield; Calvin Carter; Jerry Butler
    Performer(s): Jerry Butler;
    and various other artists



    He don't love you like I love you
    If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
    He don't love you like I love you
    He's try-in' to tear us apart

    Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
    (I know you're leavin')
    For the new love that you've found
    The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
    I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause

    He don't love you like I love you
    If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
    He don't love you like I love you
    He's try-in' to tear us apart

    He uses all the great quotations
    Says the things I wish I could say
    Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
    Girl, to him it's just another play but wait

    When the final act is over
    And you're left standing all alone
    When he takes his bow and makes his exit
    Girl, I'll be there to take you home

    He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
    If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
    Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
    He's try-in' to tear us apart

    Whoa, he don't love you

    We've Got The World
    Composer(s): Martin Brannigan, Keith Molloy
    First performance by: Mickey Harte - 2003



    She stands under moonlight
    She touches her hair
    Her smile lights emotions
    And her love fills the air

    And I know you're my every tomorrow
    And I know that you'll always be there

    We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
    Let's hold on together
    And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
    So open your heart
    'Cause we've got tonight

    We move even closer
    With hope in our eyes
    'Cause love is the answer
    To the hurt and the lies

    And I know you're my every tomorrow
    And I know that you'll always be there

    We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
    Let's hold on together
    And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
    So open your heart

    We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
    Let's hold on together
    And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
    So open your heart

    Ask me why (Ask me why)
    The sun and the moon go round
    Ask me why (Ask me why)
    My feet never touch the ground
    (Tell the truth) Tell the truth
    You take my breath away

    We've got the world tonight

    We've got the world tonight (Tonight)
    Let's hold on together
    And we've got a love that's right (That's right)
    So open your heart

    He Was Thinking Of Me
    Performer(s): The Telestials



    My mama told me
    'bout his love long ago
    She said "Boy, Jesus bled and died
    To save your soul"

    It was in his Father's will
    He didn't have to die for me
    He could have called ten thousand angels
    To set him free

    Even while the blood was still warm on his brow
    Jesus was thinking of me
    Even as they beat him, I don't know how
    Jesus was thinking of me

    Even as they drove the nails in his hands
    Even as they pierced his side
    I was never out of his mind for a moment
    He was thinking of me when he died

    The angry mob around him
    Was hungry to see someone die
    The Roman soldiers bound him
    Not knowing who they crucified

    It wasn't the nails through his hands and knee
    That held him on that cruel tree
    It was a self-denying, all-consuming love
    For someone like me

    Even while the blood was still warm on his brow
    Jesus was thinking of me
    Even as they beat him, I don't know how
    Jesus was thinking of me

    Even as they drove the nails in his hands
    Even as they pierced his side
    I was never out of his mind for a moment
    He was thinking of me when he died

    He was thinking of me when he died
    He was thinking of me when he died

    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

    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

    Let go and just show me who you are

    He was beautiful
    Beautiful to my eyes
    From the moment I saw him
    The sun filled the sky
    He was so, so beautiful

    Beautiful just to hold
    In my dreams he was springtime
    Winter was cold
    How could I tell him

    What I so clearly could see
    Though I longed for him
    Another ...
    Trusted me completely, so I never could be free
    It was beautiful

    Knowing now that he cares
    I will always remember moments we shared
    Now it's all over

    Still the feelings ling' on
    For my dream keeps returning
    Now that he's gone
    For it was beautiful
    Beautiful
    Beautiful to be loved

    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?

    He Vuelto A Casa
    Performer(s): José Feliciano



    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......

    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 wasn’t accidental, no, he knew it
    He smiled and seemed to tell me so, all through it
    He knew it, I know

    He’s 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

    Watching the sunrise

    He Took Her For A Sleigh Ride
    (In The Good Old Summertime)
    Composer(s): Jerome S. Gottler
    Performer(s): Billy Murray



    Here's a story all about
    An innocent young girl
    It happened on the midway
    In a carnival's gay whirl

    Attracted by a manly voice
    How could she sense the danger
    She found herself enchanted
    By a dashing, dapper stranger

    Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
    In the good old summertime
    This Coney Island barker
    With a bankroll of a dime

    His suave and silky manner
    Made her heart go pitter-pat
    Her mother should have told her
    To beware of men like that

    He charmed her so with words so sweet
    What harm this guy was doing her
    To make her woe and shame complete
    He ended up tatooing her

    He dragged her down and down and down
    Was such an awful crime
    Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
    In the good old summertime

    Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
    In the middle of July
    This city slicker
    He'll put out the twinkle in her eye

    He promised her a fortune
    Said he'd put her name in lights
    She wound up in the sideshow
    Wearing purple, spangled tights

    On Monday nights she'd be Suzette
    The wild girl from Borneo
    Tuesday nights she'd holler
    "Get your peanuts and popcorneo"

    She did it all because she thought
    That wedding bells would chime
    But he took her for a sleigh ride
    In the good old summertime

    Oh, this story has a moral
    That the whole world ought to hear
    So settle down and listen
    And stop crying in your beer

    Some of you have daughters
    Or a sister you respect
    So keep them from this maiden's fate
    Before their lives are wrecked

    She paid the price for her mistake
    With grief I sadly speak of her
    His heart was ice, the lowly stink
    He went and made a freak of her

    Now if you want to see her
    You will have to pay a dime
    Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
    In the good old summertime

    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
