If We All Give A Little Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger First performance by: Six4One - 2006
Everybody has a dream What will come and what will be And hopes it soon will be reality
But a dream is not enough There's so much we gotta do To overcome that bitter blue
'Cause we all know one hand alone Can never move a rock of stone It takes us all, me and you
If we all give a little If we all give a little We can make this world a home for everyone If we all give a little We can dry a million tears And some hope will grow out of many fears
Everybody has some strength They could spend on someone weak Don't let life be a game of hide and seek
Everyone has things to give To someone just to carry on A little help to overcome
We all have learned a word alone Will never touch a heart of stone It takes much more, more of us
If we all give a little If we all give a little We can make this world a home for everyone If we all give a little (If we all) We can dry a million tears (Give a little) And some hope will grow out of many fears
If we give a little love Just believe it's really worth Many million hearts are beating on this earth
If we all give a little If we all give a little We can make this world a home for everyone (For everyone) If we all give a little We can dry a million tears
And some hope will grow (It will grow forever) Out of many fears (If we stand together) If we give a little, just a little (If we give a little love) Give a little love
If we all give a little (Just a little love) All give a little (A little) love
Hideaway Composer(s): Steve Harley Performer(s): Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway
It was summer or maybe spring, I can't remember It was summer or maybe spring, I can't recall We found our hearts and stole them from our bodies (We couldn't understand the Villain's call) We'd often recall the beginnings We'd often try in vain to change it all We couldn't help but keep ourselves from sinning In summer, in summer or maybe spring, or maybe spring, or maybe spring
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway
It was summer or maybe spring, I can't remember It was summer or maybe spring, I can't recall We'd try to always calm our elders (But always we did seems to fall) We'd never try to tame the burning embers (It didn't seem to matter how we'd fare) It seemed we couldn't ever escape December But it was summer, summer, or maybe spring, or maybe spring, maybe spring
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway
Starlight And Music Composer(s): Maurice Hart - Alexander Hoffmann - Walter Kent Performer(s): Glenn Miller; Ray Eberle
Starlight and music it's time for love Your heart and my heart in rhythm with love Don't let this moment escape in the blue Darling tonight is the night for dreams to come true
Starlight and music it's heavenly Holding you near me so heavenly You are the music the starlight above Starlight and music and love
Hide Your Heart Composer(s): Desmond Child; Paul Stanley; Holly Knight Performer(s): Ace Frehley; and various other artists
Johnny saw her ridin' on a streetcar named "desire" His fate was sealed She could see him comin' like a hundred other liars It was no big deal Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town Tito, he was king of the streets She was his possession like a jewel on his crown Johnny better run, better run? Better hide your heart Better hold on tight Better say your prayers Cause there's trouble tonight When pride and love battle with desire Better hide your heart Cause you're playing with fire The ride was over but the story doesn't end He took her heart She looked him in the eye And said they couldn't meet again You could see the trouble start The word went out that Rosa's missing with someone It was on the street Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun Johnny better run, better run? Johnny's holding Rosa on a rooftop in the night As time stood still They couldn't hear him coming Till he had them both in sight You could feel the chill A shot rang out like thunder And the blood was on her hands With nothing won When someone lies there dying Lovers finally understand
Quand Tout S'enfuit First performance by: Aline Lahoud - 2005
Quand tout s'enfuit Quand tout bascule dans l'oubli Quand il n'y a rien Qu'un froid soleil au déclin Quand l'hiver noie ses pleures Dans mes nuits qui se meurent
Toi seul, tu es là A gravé dans mon coeur ton image Comme dans un bouquin Qui n'a dans ces pages qu'une page Et je sais pourtant qu'un de ces jours Quand on n'aura jamais le temps pour notre amour
Quand tout s'en va Il y aura toi, y aura moi Il y aura des jours, des tous jours pour t'aimer Oh, mon amour
Et moi, je suis là, tout près de toi De tout ce qui te ressemble Mais moi, je serai là pour finir ensemble ce long voyage Et t'aimer, et t'aimer d'avantage À tout jamais, à tout jamais
Et je sais pourtant qu'un de ces jours Quand on n'aura jamais le temps pour notre amour
Hide In Your Shell Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodges Performer(s): Supertramp
Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride What will you gain making your life a little longer? Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel? Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger Too beautiful to put your pride in danger Youre waiting for someone to understand you But youve got demons in your closet And youre screaming out to stop it Saying lifes begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you scramble for
Dont let the tears linger on inside now Cos its sure time you gained control If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know Well, let me show you the nearest signpost To get your heartback and on the road If I can help you, if I can help you If I can help you, just let me know
All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you? I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening- the fires getting colder Too beautiful- to think youre getting older Youre looking for someone to give an answer But what you see is just an illusio Youre surrounded by confusion Saying lifes begun to cheat you Friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for Dont let teh tears... ... just let me know I wanna know... I wanna know you... Well let me know you I wanna feel you I wanna touch you Please let me near you Can you hear what Im saying? Well Im hoping, Im dreamin, Im prayin I know what youre thinkin See what youre seein Never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down Why dya hold yourself down? Why dont you listen, you can Trust me Theres a place I know the way to A place there is need to feel you Feel that youre alone Hear me I know exactly what youre feelin Cos all your troubles are whithin you Please begin to see that Im just bleeding to Love me, love you Loving is the way to Help me, help you - why must we be so cool, oh so cool? Oh, were such damn fools...

Boys And Girls Composer(s): Alexandr Shkuratov First performance by: Angelica Agurbash - 2005
Not enough time left to spend on love It's impossible to find peace of mind, no We are the heartbeat of the world You and I (You and I) Listen, children, listen to me

Hide And Seek Composer(s): S.K. Linwood; Darryl Way Performer(s): Curved Air
Night time come and lay and hide and seek (I have got to find you) Streets to search and I am here alone (Try to doubt the unknown) *Walk in the streets A call your name And no one comes Running through the town I call your name I know no one here
Shadows forming where the night begins (Just the breeze comes in) Doors all closed and window curtains drawn (All the people are gone) (* Repeat)
Doors all closed and window curtains drown (All the people are gone) Streets deserted and I am here alone (Try to doubt the unknown)
Starkville City Jail Composer(s): Johnny Cash First recording/First release by: Johnny Cash - 1969
Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees
I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him Come along, wild flower child Don't you know that it's two a.m."
They're bound to get you 'Cause they got a curfew And you go to the Starkville City jail
Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down"
Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Awe shut up" Well, I sure was in a fix
The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right"
Well, they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew And you go to the Starkville City Jail
I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came
Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name At 8 a.m. they let me out I said: "Gimme them things of mine!" They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion
They're bound to get you, 'cause they got a curfew And you go to the Starkville City Jail
Hidden Treasure Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Jim Capaldi Performer(s): Traffic
Take a walk down by, take a walk down by the river There's a lot that you, there's a lot that you can learn If you've got a mind that's open, if you've got a heart that yearns
If you listen to, if you listen to the water You will hear the sound, you will hear the sound of life There's a million different voices, there is happiness and strife
Message in the deep, from a strange eternal sleep That is waiting there, that is waiting there for you Like hidden treasure
O céu às vezes foge Procura outro lugar Onde o sol não cabe E a lua não quer ficar De mar em mar, hey! Ver e vencer, hey Amar, amar, sempre, sempre anyway De mar em mar, hey! Ver e vencer, hey Amar, amar, always day by day Só quem não quer amar Olha sem ver
Happy pretty way Happy shiny day Happy place to stay We can hold it together Happy pretty way Happy shiny day Happy place to stay We can hold it forever
Pretty people shining A pretty place to stay Brand new kind of face I love you anyway
Fight for the love I miss Ask me to stay
Happy pretty way Happy shiny day Happy place to stay We can hold it together Happy pretty way Happy shiny day Happy place to stay We can hold it forever
Happy pretty way Bright shiny day Lovely place to stay We can hold it together Happy pretty way Happy shiny day Happy place to stay We can hold it forever

Pretty way, happy, happy shiny day A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay Pretty way, happy, happy shinny day A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay
Hickory Wind Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Bob Buchanon Performer(s): The Byrds; and various other artists
In South Carolina there are many tall pines I remember the oak tree that we used to climb But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend That I'm getting the feel of hickory wind
I started out younger at most everything All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring? But it makes me feel better each time it begins Callin' me home, hickory wind
It's hard to find out that trouble is real In a far away city, with a far away feel But it makes me feel better each time it begins Callin' me home, hickory wind
Staring At The Embers Composer(s): Tim Finn Performer(s): Tim Finn
Staring at the embers Of my memory, trying to remember Just what you meant to me Now and then I'm falling Alligators crawling Staring at the embers
Sit right down before the fire My bridges are all burning
A lady told me she was a liar In love at least I'm learning
Staring at the embers of my Memory staring at the embers They're all that's left to me
Don't know where I'm going There's no way of knowing Staring at the embers
The flame has gone you put it out Out without a word of warning The pleasure palace goes Up in smoke
But this fool goes on yearning Staring at the embers Of my memory Fire-place surrender Please give her back to me Now and then I'm falling Alligators crawling Staring at the embers Staring at the embers of My memory Trying to remember just What you meant to me Now and then I'm falling Alligators crawling Staring at the embers (repeat)
My Impossible Dream Composer(s): Robert D. Fisher - Bruce Smith First performance by: Glennis Grace - 2005
I have a dream...
You 'n' me, we're driftin' far apart Our story has been told Can't you see, the writing's on the wall? I've come in from the cold And I will follow my dream
I'll fight the big wide world I'll make it on my own Against all odds I'm breakin' free The gauntlet has been thrown My colours have been shown Now I seek my impossible dream
Now's the time To hold my head up high Find my identity So I will follow my dream
I'll fight the big wide world I'll make it on my own Against all odds I'm breakin' free The gauntlet has been thrown My colours have been shown Now I seek my impossible dream
My dream...
I'll fight the big world I'll make it on my own again Against all odds I'm breakin' free The gauntlet has been thrown My colours have been shown Now I seek my impossible dream
Hi Jolly Composer(s): Randy Sparks Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels; and various other artists
Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago He followed Mr. Beale way out west Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
There's pretty girls in Albuquerque, 'least that's what I've heard There's pretty gals in Tumcumcari too Now honey, I ain't blind, but I don't pay them any mind 'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true That you can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-ridin' still When the desert moon is bright, he comes ridin' into sight Drivin' four and twenty camels over the hill
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the mornin' light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Stardust (Estrellitas) (Dutch Version: Weerklank - 2009) Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1927 Covered by multiple other artists
And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that were apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust Of yesterday The music Of the years Gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss, an inspiration
But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall where stars are bright You are in my arms A nightingale sings its fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain That stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
