Suddenly Composer(s): Keith Diamond - John Farrar - Billy Ocean Performer(s): Billy Ocean
I used to think that love was just a fairy tale Until that first hello until that first smile But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing Cause this love is everlasting
Suddenly life has new meaning to me There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of You wake up suddenly you're in love
Girl you're everthing a man could want and more One thousand words are not enough to say what I feel inside Holding hands as we walk along the shore Never felt like this before now you're all I'm living for
Each day I pray this love affair would last forever
There's beauty up above and things you never take notice of You wake and suddenly you're in love
You Can Get It If You Really Want Composer(s): Jimmy Cliff Performer(s): Desmond Dekker; and various other artists
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try - try and try - try and try You'll succed at last - mmmm yeah
Persecution you must fear Win or lose the battle, get your share You've got your mind set on a dream You can get it though hard it may seem
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want, yeah You can get it if you really want But you must try - try and try - try and try You'll succed at last - don't you know it
Rome was not built in a day Opposition will come your way But the harder the battle, you see Is the sweeter the victory
You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want You can get it if you really want But you must try - try and try - try and try You'll succed at last
Suddenly Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Barry Gibb - Robin Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees
How can you tell by looking at me? How can you tell you like what you see? Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone
How can you tell humans are real? How can you tell you like what you feel? Suddenly there's a girl in your heart oh boy Suddenly there's a boy in your heart oh boy Ah....
How can you tell by looking at me? How can you tell you like what you see? Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone Ah...
You Can Do Magic Composer(s): Russ Ballard Performer(s): America; Golden Hair; John O'Banion
I never believed in things that I couldn't see I said if I can't feel it then how can it be No, no magic could happen to me And then I saw you
I couldn't believe it, you took my heart I couldn't retrieve it, said to myself What's it all about Now I know there can be no doubt
You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo ...
And when the rain is beatin' upon the window pane And when the night it gets so cold, when I can't sleep Again you come to me I hold you tight, the rain disappears Who would believe it With a word you dry my tears
You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo ...
And If I wanted to I could never be free I never believed it was true But now it's so clear to me
You can do magic You can have anything that you desire Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire
You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way When you hypnotize with your eyes A heart of stone can turn to clay Doo, doo, doo ...
You're the one who can put out the fire You're the one who can put out the fire You're the one who can put out the fire ...

Sucedio En La Barranca Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): Grupo Laberinto and multiple other artists
Voy a cantar un corrido que traigo prendido en el fondo de mi alma es la desgracia de un hombre que fue muy mi amigo y murió en la barranca
Era rival en amores de un hombre muy macho que siempre ganó se disputaban a Rosa la niña más chula de aquella región
Se citaron la noche más negra y al barranco acudieron los dos eran las diez de la noche en la vieja capilla que está en el panteón cuando sonaron dos tiros y un hombre sin vida a barranco cayó
Hoy han pasado dos años y aquel buen amigo ya nadie recuerda hoy adornaron la iglesia se casa Rosita, estamos de fiesta
Sale vestida de blanco más linda que nunca camino al altar mientras yo sé que en la cárcel un hombre muy macho se piensa matar
Yo por eso lecanto a la vida yo por eso no creo en el amor
Eran las diez de la noche en la vieja capilla que está en el panteón cuando en la cárcel del pueblo sonaron dos tiros y un hombre murió
You Can Call Me Al Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon; and various other artists
A man walks down the street He says why am I soft in the middle now Why am I soft in the middle The rest of my life is so hard I need a photo-opportunity I want a shot at redemption Don't want to end up a cartoon In a cartoon graveyard Bonedigger Bonedigger Dogs in the moonlight Far away my well-lit door Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly Get these mutts away from me You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al
A man walks down the street He says why am I short of attention Got a short little span of attention And wo my nights are so long Where's my wife and family What if I die here Who'll be my role-model Now that my role-model is Gone Gone He ducked back down the alley With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl All along along There were incidents and accidents There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al Call me Al
A man walks down the street It's a street in a strange world Maybe it's the Third World Maybe it's his first time around He doesn't speak the language He holds no currency He is a foreign man He is surrounded by the sound The sound Cattle in the marketplace Scatterlings and orphanages He looks around, around He sees angels in the architecture Spinning in infinity He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al Call me Al
