After December Slips Away Composer(s): Lowell Alexander - Bonnie Keen Performer(s): First Call; Donnie Osmond
The season comes but once a year A gift of precious wonder For all who hold it dear But past the sights and coloured lights Lord, far beyond December I will remember
After the carols fade away After the Yule fire dies down When there are no longer dreams to open and see Because You are hope and joy and peace Because You're the only gift I need In my heart the season will remain After December slips away
Years ago beneath a tree Fell the drops of crimson That set the faithful free The gift was life sent in love Lord, far beyond December I will remember
After the carols fade away After the Yule fire dies down When there are no longer dreams to open and see Because You are hope and joy and peace Because You're the only gift I need In my heart the season will remain After December slips away
No matter how bright the glitter shines No matter how many hopes come true I know that all I have Begins and ends with You
After the carols fade away After the Yule fire dies down When there are no longer dreams to open and see Because You are hope and joy and peace Because You're the only gift I need In my heart the season will remain After December slips away In my heart the season will remain After December slips away
Yonder Comes A Sucker Composer(s): Jim Reeves Performer(s): Jim Reeves
(Chorus:) Railroad, steamboat, river and canal Yonder comes a sucker, and hes got my gal And shes gone, gone, gone And shes gone, gone, gone And Ill bid her my last farewell
I fell in love with a pretty little thing I thought that wedding bells would ring She was as sweet as sweet could be Till I found out what she did to me
(Repeat Chorus)
I asked her mother to let her go She whispered, Mother, please tell him no Though he may think that I am true Theres plenty more who think so too
(Repeat Chorus)
Now, I wont cry my life away Some other sucker will have to pay And when he finds that she is gone I guess Ill hear him sing this song
Street Corner Serenade Composer(s): Michael Duke - Jack Hall - Marshall Smith Performer(s): Wet Willie
Down on the corner in my home town Me and the fellows used to gather round The song we sang it sounded so sweet I can still hear that harmony Singin de de de de deet Who, whoa oh ah ah
Guide he's the one that sang down low Crazy Larry sang the baritone I'm the one that sang the lead Little Jackie made our song complete Singin de de de de deet Who, whoa oh ah ah
When a pretty girl would come passing by We tried too hard to catch her eye And when she stopped to check us out That's when we really sang out loud Singin de de de de deet Who, whoa oh ah ah
I still remember those happy days We passed our time in carefree ways Maybe someday we'll get together again Down on the corner with my old friends Singin de de de de deet Who, whoa oh ah ah

Stray Cat Strut Composer(s): Brian Setzer First release by: Stray Cats - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists
Oooooooh Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent I'm flat broke but I don't care I strut right by with my tail in the air Stray cat strut I'm a ladies cat I'm a feline casanova hey man that's that Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man Get my dinner from a garbage can
Meow Yeah, don't cross my path! I don't bother chasing mice around I slink down the alley lookin' for a fight Howlin' to the moonlight on a hot summer night Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry "Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy" I wish I could be as carefree and wild But I got cat class and I got cat style
Yoga Is As Yoga Does Composer(s): Gerald Nelson; Fred Burch Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Gerald Nelson
Well I can see that you and yoga will never do
Yoga is as yoga does there's no in-between Your either with it on the ball or you've blown the scene I can see lookin' at you, you just can't get settled How can I even move, twistin' like a pretzel
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
Come on come on, untwist my legs Pull my arms a lot How did I get so tied up In this yoga knot You tell me just how I can take this yoga serious When all it ever gives to me is a pain in my posteriors
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
Stand upside down on your head, feet against the wall A simple yoga exercise done by one and all Now cross your eyes and hold your breath, look just like a clown Yoga's sure to catch you if you come falling down
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
(Yoga is, yoga does) (There's no in-between) (Your either with it all the way) Or you've blown the scene (Or you've blown the scene)
Across The Sky The Shades Of Night Composer(s): Nikolaus Decius - James Hamilton
Across the sky the shades of night This New Year's Eve are fleeting We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light In solemn worship meeting And as the year's last hours go by We raise to Thee our earnest cry Once more Thy love entreating
Before the cross subdued we bow To Thee our prayers addressing Recounting all Thy mercies now And all our sins confessing Beseeching Thee this coming year To keep us in Thy faith and fear And crown us with Thy blessing
And while we pray, we lift our eyes To dear ones gone before us Safe home with Thee in Paradise Whose peace descendeth o'er us And beg of Thee, when life is past To reunite us all at last With those who've gone before us
We gather up in this brief hour The memory of Thy mercies Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power Our grateful song rehearses For Thou hast been our Strength and Stay In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses
In many an hour when fear and dread Like evil spells, have bound us And clouds were gathering overhead Thy providence hath found us In many a night when seas ran high Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh Hath made all calm around us
Then, O great God, in years to come Whatever may betide us Right onward through our journey home Be Thou at hand to guide us Nor leave us till at close of life Safe from all perils, toil, and strife Heaven shall enfold and hide us

Mi voz puede volar, puede atravezar cualquier herida, cualquier tiempo cualquier soledad, sin que la pueda controlar toma forma de canción, así es mi voz que sale de mi corazón
Y volará, sin yo querer por los caminos más lejanos por los sueños que soñé será reflejo del amor de lo que me tocó vivir será la música de fondo de lo mucho que sentí
Oye mi son, mi viejo son tiene la clave de cualquier generación en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador yo viviré, ahí estaré mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí yo viviré, yo viviré
Y ahora vuelvo a recordar, aquel tiempo atrás cuando me fui buscando el cielo de la libertad cuantos a migos que dejé y cuantas lagrimas lloré yo viviré, para volverlos a encontrar y seguire, con mi canción bailando música caliente como bailo yo y cuando suene una huaracha y cuando suene un huahuancó en la sangre de mi pueblo en su cuerpo estaré yo
Oye mi son, mi viejo son tiene la clave de cualquier generación en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador yo viviré, ahí estaré mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí yo viviré, yo viviré
oye mi son, mi viejo son tiene la clave de cualquier generación en el alma de mi gente, en el cuero del tambor en las manos del congero, en los piés del bailador yo viviré, ahí estaré mientras pase una cumparsa con mi rumba cantaré seré siempre lo que fuí, con mi azúcar para tí yo viviré, yo viviré
Sobreviviendo En esta vida lo que estoy haciendo Sobreviviendo Estoy sobreviviendo, estoy sobreviviendo Sobreviviendo Para que la gente me siga oyendo
Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo Doy gracias a Dios por este regalo El me dió la voz y yo te la he dado ¡Con Gusto! Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo Para ti mi gente siempre cantaré te daré mi azucar caramba y sobreviviré Rompiendo barreras, voy sobreviviendo cruzando fronteras, voy sobreviviendo Yo viviré, Yo viviré y Sobreviviré

Yo Te Quiero Maria Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Penny Els Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Dit is nu mijn laatste brief Met die woorden Maria Neem ik afscheid van jou Yo te quiero Maria Je weet dat ik van je hou Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien Zij het met of zonder jou
Jij was mijn lied Mijn wereld, mijn kleine gids Te samen iedere dag Doorheen zonnige straten Jij was een lach Wat vriendschap in een vreemd land Maar uit het oog, uit het hart De tijd blijft nooit staan
Yo te quiero Maria Dit is nu mijn laatste brief Met die woorden Maria Neem ik afscheid van jou Yo te quiero Maria Je weet dat ik van je hou Maar de wereld blijft maar draaien Zij het met of zonder jou
Jij zal wel gauw Iemand vinden die van je houdt Die bij je blijft en nooit of nooit Meer hoeft weg te gaan
Always fighting Always fighting with yourself Be something Be happy If I were France And you were Germany What an alliance that would be
I dig laughter I dug up a few old dreams They couldn't make me happy They weren't pure They weren't real to me They weren't anything for you
So, look no further We're coming through We're not alone now There's room for you
Look now Hear it sounding Hear it ringing in my ears Their secrets sacred as sequins And weighing you down, down And platitudes that make you leave The weak at the wall Ask the questions But that's all for now now
Yo te quiero libre, libre y con amor libre de la sombra, pero no del sol Yo te quiero libre, como te vivi libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
La libertad tiene alma clara y solo canta cuando va batiendo alas vuela y canta, libertad La libertad nacio sin dueno y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
Yo te quiero libre y con buena fe para que conduzcas tu preciosa sed Yo te quiero libre, libre de verdad libre como el sueno de la libertad
La libertad, nacio sin dueno y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
Yo te quiero libre como te vivi libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
Yo Te Necesito Composer(s): Marco Antonio Solís Performer(s): Los Bukis; and various other artists
(hablado) "Que grande es mi razón de estar contigo y cuanta falta le haces a este corazón que me hace sentir lo que hoy te pido regresa mi amor, regresa conmigo"
Yo te necesito a cada momento solo pienso en ti lo digo y lo grito tan solo eres tu lo que me hace feliz
Yo te necesito amor como este he sentido jamas te espera tu nido mi vida es vacía si tu aquí no estas
Si no estas conmigo me duele decirlo desde hace unos días no se de tu vida, no se mas de ti
Me siento perdido entre lo escondido se alargan mis horas mi alma te añora y me hace decir
Que te necesito que nada es posible en mi vida sin ti regresa te pido mis lágrimas faltan si lloro por ti....
Si no estas conmigo me duele decirlo...(se repite)
