Street Of Dreams Composer(s): Lindsay Buckingham - Richard Dashut Performer(s): Lindsay Buckingham
Cant get going Fear is showing On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Street of dreams
Theres no telling What theyre selling On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Street of dreams
Theres a shadow on my daddys stone, where he was laid, laid to rest. I ask him is this just a dream, or is it just another test? I turn my back against the cold, I turn my face into the wind And I wonder will I ever, ever make it home again? Shadow on daddys stone, ten years gone, it seems I ask him will i ever stop, ever stop dreaming dreams?! He said never, never, never
And I was praying Youd be staying On this lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Street of dreams
You French Title: Je Ne Connais Que Toi Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
You are all I've ever known Through every dreamless night Through every empty dawn You and only you alone Were my moment of truth Were my promise of youth reborn Far in the corners of my mind In shadows hard to find You were godlike, a voice That lingered in the air When every hope was gone You called me ever on Through my time of despair
You are words I'll never find Too full to ever say Too deep to understand You make music in my mind Can't imagine a day Without wishing to find your hand Some may wait a lifetime long And never hear the song That makes all heaven smile And when they ask me Who has made my life worthwhile As if you didn't know I owe it all to you
Street Life Composer(s): Will Jennings - Joe Sample Performer(s): Randy Crawford & The Crusaders
I still hang around neither lost nor found Hear the lonely sound of music in the night Nights are always bright That's all that's left for me, yeah I play the street life Because there's no place I can go Street life, it's the only way I know Street life And there's a thousand cards to play Until you play your life away You dress and walk and talk You're who you think you are Street life, you can run away from time Street life, for a nickel, for a dime Street life, but you better not get old Or you're gonna feel the cold There's always love for sale A grown up fairy tale Prince charming always smiles Behind a silver spoon And if you keep t young Your song is always sung Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon Street life, street life, street life, oh street life...
You Composer(s): John Shanks; Bob Thiele; K. Tonio Performer(s): Bonnie Raitt
Nobody else could make me happy No one could hurt me like you do You were the only one that mattered Then you were gone......love had moved on Left me alone thinking of...
You......there was never any other You......and I were created to be true
Isn't it love that keeps us breathing Isn't it love we're sent here for Wasn't that love that we were feeling (that was something baby) Deep in our soul......deeper than we know Keeping me holding out for
You......there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together True hearts in a world where love is dyin'
I might as well have been dyin', when we were apart When you came back I felt the beating of my heart
You and I, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together You..... It was always you....yeah baby Only you
Street Kids Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
They must have had the whole thing planned There must have been a hundred If we make a stand I think we'll be outnumbered If I'd had the chance Then I could understand Why I'm a juvenile delinquent In an East End gang
And if you think you've seen gasoline burning in my eyes Don't be alarmed, tell yourself it's good to be, it's good to be alive
It's just another street kid on your tail Running on the wrong side of the rails With my boot lace tie and my hand-me-downs You know I run the toughest bunch this side of town Those street kids making news just being around
I've been bottled and been brained Squealers can't be trusted If we fight tonight You can bet we'll all be busted I'd like to break away From the rut I'm in But beggars can't be choosers And I was born to sin
Let's hear it for the street kids Making news just being around
Yosemite Sam Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Mike Maltese; Billy May Performer(s): Mel Blanc
Oh, I'm the toughest hombre that ever lived out West Although I'm only two feet tall, my shootin' is the best I like to hunt for big black ducks a-way up in the sky I like to see if I can hit a duck that's on the fly
I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away I'll shoot where ere I can I'll aim my gun, I never miss Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am
Sometimes I reach a rabbit without a single sound And then I pull the trigger and the rabbit hits the ground Squirrels too are very cute as they go up a tree But with my trusty rifle, they can't excape from me
Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away I'll shoot what ere I can I'll aim my gun, I never miss Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am
I sometimes hunt for possum when there's nothin' else to shoot Or aim at birds as they fly by, I don't much give a hoot I'll even shoot the little deer who run so very fast No matter how they run away, they can't escape my blast
Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away I'll shoot what ere I can I'll aim my gun, I never miss Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-ay-ay-yam
But I must really tell you, I know you will be glad That though I shoot a lot of things, I'm not so very bad For from my little rifle, an animal never drops For instead of usin' bullets, I load it with gumdrops
Oh, I'll hunt down game, I'll blast away I'll shoot what ere I can I'll aim my gun, I never miss Or my name's not Yosemite Sa-a-a-a-a-am
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
