I Can't See Texas From Here Composer(s): George Strait Performer(s): George Strait and multiple other artists
I come and go as I please From down here, up north and in between But baby it's a shame, 'cause I always feel the same When I can't see Texas from here
I can't see Texas from here No matter how I try, it makes me wanna die So if you see me looking down, I'm trying not to show this frown 'Cause I can't see Texas from here
I can't say I don't like Tennessee The people here have all been good to me So please don't take offense if start to get intense It's just 'cause I can't see Texas from here
I can't see Texas from here No matter how I try, it makes me wanna die So if you see me looking down, I'm trying not to show this frown 'Cause I can't see Texas from here
You Asked Me To Composer(s): Waylon Jennings; Billy Joe Shaver Performer(s): Waylon Jennings; Elvis Presley; Billy Joe Shaver; Nancy Griffith; John Hartford; Alison Krauss
Long ago and far away In my old common labour shoes I turned the world all which-a-way Just because you asked me to
Likened to no other feel' Summer love is simple true There's no end to what I'd do Just because you asked me to
Let the world call me a fool But if things are right with me and you That's all that matters and I'll do Anything you ask me to
Knowin' how much I love you After all I've been through I'd turn and walk away from you Just because you asked me to
Let the world call me a fool But if things are right with me and you That's all that matters and I'll do Anything you ask me to
Let the world call me a fool But if things are right with me and you That's all that matters and I'll do Anything you ask me to
Blame It On Mexico Composer(s): Darrel Steadtler Performer(s): George Strait and multiple other artists
In a bar in Acuna called Ma Crosby's I found myself not feeling any pain I told a 'Frisco girl I'd come for freedom She said she'd only come to catch a train We struck up some idle conversation Traded all the troubles on our minds One thing lead to another in the evening And I fell in love again for my last time
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason That I fell in love again for my last time
Daylight dawned and found me in Del Rio In a rundown motel room as dark as hell I felt all the pains of a morning after And all alone as far as I could tell
Why she left I have no way of knowing I guess she caught her train and that's a crime She took everything I ever wanted And I fell in love again for my last time
Blame it on Mexico if you need a reason Say too much guitar music, tequila, salt and lime Blame it on Mexico, but she's the reason That I fell in love again for my last time
You Are Too Beautiful Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart Performer(s): David Whitfield; and various other artists
You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true And I am a fool for beauty Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you I could have bound you too You are too beautiful for one man alone For one lucky fool to be with When there are other men With eyes of their own to see with
Love does not stand sharing Not if one cares Have you been comparing My every kiss with theirs If, on the other hand, Im faithful to you Its not through a sense of duty You are too beautiful And I am a fool for beauty

You can shake an apple off an apple tree Shake, shake, sugar but you'll never shake me
Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh I'm gonna to stick like glue Because I'm stuck on you
Yea, I'm gonna run my fingers through your long black hair Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh I'm gonna to stick like glue Because I'm stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall Ain't gonna do you no good at all 'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side That's how our love is going to keep us tied
Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh I'm gonna to stick like glue Because I'm stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall Ain't gonna do you no good at all 'Cause once I catch you and the kissing starts A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side That's how our love is going to keep us tied
Uh uh ooh yes siree ooh ooh I'm gonna to stick like glue Because I'm stuck on you
I'm gonna to stick like glue, ooh, ooh Because I'm stuck on you
You Are The Woman Composer(s): Rick Roberts Performer(s): Firefall; Josh Kelley
You are the woman that I've always dreamed of I knew it from the start I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
It's not so much the things you say to me It's not the things you do It's how I feel each time you're close to me That keeps me close to you, woh oh
You are the woman that I've always dreamed of I knew it from the start I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
It's not so much your pretty face I see It's not the clothes you wear It's more that special way you look at me That always keeps me there, woh oh woh
You are the woman that I've always dreamed of I knew it from the start I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
It's hard to tell you all the love I'm feeling That's just not my style You've got a way to send my senses reeling Every time you smile, woh oh
You are the woman that I've always dreamed of I knew it from the start I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

Elle me sourit... Oh oh oui! Pour une fille comme ça, hum oui Moi, je suis comme un fou Elle a des hanches à faire rêver Et son t-shirt ne peut rien cacher Tout ce que j'ai, si elle veut je lui donne Ouais, mais contre son numéro de téléphone Oh oui, mais un taxi s'arrête Elle monte et elle s'en va Le signe de la main ce n'était pas pour moi Oh oh oh! J'ai tout compris... Oh oh oui! Alors je reste là Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou Oh oui, et je suis comme un fou
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life ((French Version: Le Soleil De Ma Vie (by Sacha Distel & Brigitte Bardot) - 1972)) Composer(s): Stevie Wonder First release by: Stevie Wonder - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning Though I've loved you for a million years And if I thought our love was ending I'd find myself drowning in my own tears Who-o-o-o Who-o-o-o
You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always stay around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely Because you came to my rescue And I know that this must be heaven How could so much love be inside of you

Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you And I'm wondering what it is I should do It's so hard to keep this smile from my face Losing control yeah, I'm all over the place Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
Well you started off with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends they all come crawling Slap you on the back and say Please, please
Try to make some sense of it all But I can see it makes no sense at all Is it cruel to go to sleep on the floor Yeah I don't think that I can take anymore Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
And you started off with nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends they all come crawling Slap you on the back and say Please, please
Yeah I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I'll fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Here I am stuck in the middle with you
Oh, I've sung it all tonight Almost ev'ry story that I know And now when they turn out those spotlights Ya' know, I'm never sure, where I'm s'posed to go
And I get so hoarse that I can't hit the high notes It's just a whisper, way down low But when... you sing from the inside Ya' know ya' hope that something shows......
And that... is... why.... Yes, you are the only song, the only song I need You're my laughter, and you're my lonely song You're the harvest; yes you're the seed And you're my first and my final song For you own me indeed Oh yes, oh yes Yes, after all is said and done You're the one song that I need
I have sung my songs to silence To empty clubs and crowded bars I've even sung my songs to standing rooms And I'll sing 'em, I'll sing 'em, to the stars And all the faces, they all fade together The applause, it's gone so fast And the story of every darkened stage Is that this glory, this glory will not last
And that... is... why.... Yes after all is said and done You're the one song that I need

Ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef het voelt zowat alsof ik herleef men voeten komen weer van de grond ik wist niet dat zoiets nog bestond
links van de hemel rechts van de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ik weet niet wat het is maar ik beef ik twijfel of ik nog om je geef als je vraagt of ik wil leven met jou dan zweet ik en dan krijg ik het koud
want links zie ik de hemel recht zie ik de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ja waar ben ik aan begonnen waar ben ik toch al weer beland ik had beter iets verzonnen toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei please please
ik weet niet waar ik heen moet gaan ik probeer het allemaal te verstaan is het groener aan de andere kant spreekt mijn hart of spreekt alweer mijn verstand
links van de hemel rechts van de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ja waar ben ik aan begonnen waar ben ik toch al weer beland ik had beter iets verzonnen toen je in mijn ogen keek en zei please please
ik weet niet wat het is maar ik zweef toch twijfel ik of ik om je geef sla ik af of ga ik even rechtdoor komt het goed of ga ik hier onderdoor
dicht bij de hemel dichter bij de hel middenin zit ik gevangen met jou
ik zit gevangen met jou ik zit gevangen met jou ik zit gevangen met jou

Non io non so perché Ma c'è una brutta bestia dentro di me Che mi butta giù, ogni giorno vado sempre più giù Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo di cervello che che ancora lì, lì con me Nella testa e non si muove più Non io non voglio, voglio darlo via Voglio in cambio una TV La metto in fondo al letto di casa mia Così poi non ci penso più
Non io non so perché Ma c'è un'altra brutta bestia dentro di me Che mi strozza se...se mi vieni ancora in mente te Io lo so cos'è quel pezzo del mio cuore che È ancora lì...lì con me E ogni tanto batte senza un perché No, io non voglio, voglio darlo via Voglio in cambio un'altra TV La metto a fianco a me nel letto di casa mia Gli dico "baby mi vuoi bene anche tu" Così io sento che c'è rimasto poco dentro di me Una palla e via, l'altra ho perso la scommessa E non so più dov'è
Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare E quindi non pensare, non pensare Dove sei Ruby....Ruby Ma adesso non parlare, non parlare Devi solo stare zitto, devi stare ad ascoltare E quindi non pensare, non pensare Dove sei Ruby....Ruby
Sono diventato una TV Adesso son perfetto non mi muovo più Mi accendo e poi mi spengo non reagisco più Hey ti stai spegnendo anche tu
Io lo so cos'è E stan cercando di fregare anche te Non fidarti mai Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai Io lo so cos'è E stan cercando di fregare anche te Non fidarti mai Siam seduti sopra un cesso prima o poi cadrai...

You Are The Best Part Of Me Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
My baby's cryin' on a Saturday night She thinks that nothin's ever Gonna go right But she'll make it And we'll make it There's no way that I'm leavin' the best part of me
There was a time I wanted out on my own I even thought I'd be okay alone But oh, baby I know, baby That I'd be walkin' Away from the best part of me
You are the best part of me The best that I am or ever will be You baby You're the part that allows me To open my heart And let love inside I want you to know What I've always known You're the best part of me
Love isn't easy And it's not always kind Sometimes you only have to Make up your mind That you can make it And you can make it I know I made it By keeping the best part of me
You are the best part of me The best that I am or ever will be You baby You're the part that allows me To open my heart And let love inside I want you to know What I've always known You're the best part of me
My baby's cryin' 'Cause she can't run away And if she could It wouldn't last for a day And she knows it and I know it It just shows that She is the best part of me
It's true baby You're the best part of me The best that I am or ever will be You baby You're the part that allows me To open my heart And let love inside I want you to know What I've always known You're the best part of me Yes, you are the best part of me
Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Brings jasmine tea on a painted tray and bends to kiss my frown away But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again The cover's on, the coast is clear We're all battened down, only us here But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again She walks between the lines and she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain Out in the cloudburst once again
Single-minded in my gloom I appear to revel in this darkened room But I'm still still stuck in the August rain stuck out in the cloudburst once again She walks between the lines and she can read my signs
Stuck out in the August rain Out in the cloudburst once again
