    A La Huella, A La Huella, Jose Y Maria
    Por Los Campos Helados Cardos Y Ortigas
    A La Huella , A La Huella, Por Tanto Campo
    No Hay Cobijo Ni Fonda, Siguen Andando

    Florecitas Del Campo, Flores Del Aire
    Si Ninguno Te Aloja, Adonde Naces
    Donde Naces Florcita Que Estas Creciendo
    Palomita Asustada, Grillo Sin Sueño

    Y A La Huella, A La Huella, Los Pelegrinos
    Prestarme Una Tapera Para Mi Niño
    Y A La Huella, A La Huella, Soles Y Lunas
    Los Ojitos De Almenda, Piel De Aceituna
    Hay Un Rico Del Campo, Un Buen Parsino
    Mi Niño Esta Viniendo, Por Favor Haganle Sitio
    Un Ranchito Que Quincha Solo Me Ampara
    Dos Alientos Amigos Y La Luna Clara

    You've Let Yourself Go
    ((Adapted from: Tu T'laisses Aller (Charles Aznavour) - 1960)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Marcel Stellman) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 1965 and multiple other artists

    Versions In Other Languages: 1962 - Mijn Ideaal (Corry Brokken) 1970 - Ti Lasci Andare (Charles Aznavour) 1982 - Du Lässt Dich Geh'n (Charles Aznavour) 2004 - Je Laat Je Gaan (Koen Crucke)



    It's funny, when I look at you
    While not a single word is said
    I know, I had a drink or two
    But that's not what's gone to my head
    I laugh and I recall our youth
    Perhaps you'll say that I'm uncouth
    But it's high time you knew the truth
    About the way you make me feel
    And what the future holds in store
    For I can't stand it anymore

    Why should I even try and hide
    Whatever I may feel inside
    You lie, you curse and you provoke
    And then you treat it as a joke
    You know, at times you go too far
    Even in front of all my friends
    How could we hope to make amends
    You know that you've let yourself go

    You look a sight, sure you look great
    Your stocking seams, not even straight
    And that old faded dressing gown
    Your hair in curlers hanging down
    What could I have been thinking of
    Was it with you I fell in love
    Are you the girl that could inspire
    A heart with passion and desire
    I gaze at you in sheer despair
    And see your Mother standing there

    In front of strangers you're the same
    You don't mind putting me to shame
    You contradict each word I say
    Why, you would turn night into day
    You like to hurt me when you can
    I'm just a rug and not your man
    I hit the jackpot, yes, I know
    You've let yourself go

    At times you're cruel, beyond control
    Have you no heart, have you no soul
    And as I take a look at life
    I realise that you're my Wife
    A little effort, not much more
    And things could be just as before
    You know, you'ld lose a little weight
    If you would watch all that you ate
    A little style, a little grace
    And try to show a smiling face

    I couldn't hate you if I tried
    I really want you by my side
    So try, try and be the girl I knew
    Let's really start our love anew
    I want to hold you in my arms
    And then surrender to your charms
    Let there be fire, not just a glow
    Come close to me, let yourself go

    ----------


    Alternate Version:



    It's funny, when I look at you
    And see that sour and solemn face
    `Cause you're a very special case
    Who's driven me to drink a few
    A couple more, and I feel strong
    Enough to have the guts to say
    That I can't stand your spiteful tongue
    Nor suffer all your nasty ways
    Your body, though somehow still young
    Throws all my dreams and hopes away

    It grabs me here, now hear me right
    I'm tired of being the underdog
    Tired of being pushed and shoved
    With all the love-lust in my heart
    I had it all, you know it now
    At times I'd like to wring your neck
    You've changed, you really look a wreck
    Let's face it, you've let yourself go

    You're such a let-down to your sex
    Your stockings twisted `round your legs
    That same old faded dressing gown
    Your hair in curlers, hanging down
    What could I have been thinking of
    Was it with you I fell in love
    Are you the girl that could inspire
    A heart with passion and desire
    I gaze at you in sheer despair
    And see your Mother standing there

    In front of strangers you're the same
    You don't mind putting me to shame
    You contradict each word I say
    Ah, you can turn night into day
    I hit the jackpot, what a blow
    The first time that I took you out
    If you had learned to shut your mouth
    But God knows, you've let yourself go

    At times you're cruel beyond control
    You have no heart, you have no soul
    But as I take a look at life
    I realise that, you're my Wife
    A little effort, not much more
    And things could be, just as before
    You know, you'd lose a little weight
    If you cut out the junk you ate
    A little style, a little grace
    And try to show a smiling face

    I couldn't hate you if I tried
    If I could just have by my side
    The little girl that once I knew
    To make me start our love anew
    I want to hold you in my arms
    And then surrender to your charms
    Let there be fire, not just a glow
    Come close to me, let yourself go
    Come close to me, let yourself go

    ----------


    As sung by Liza Minnelli:



    So we're alone again tonight
    I read a book, you watch the fight
    A stifled yawn, a can of beer
    What an enthralling atmosphere
    And yet the sight of us this way
    Helps me to say what I must say
    It helps me to think a thought or two
    And pass it right along to you
    And just for starters you should know
    I think you've let yourself go

    Down through the years each sage repeats
    Grass never grows on busy streets
    Which might explain that balding spot
    Where you would think, or wish, or not
    And where's that slender youth I knew
    I fear he's grown an inch or two
    Not up and down my joy and pride
    But more precisely side to side

    When at a party, now and then
    You tell the same old jokes again
    Or wear a lampshade for a hat
    Who could be wittier than that
    With one too many you just might
    Pick some unnecessary fight
    Though in the morning with the Sun
    You can't remember what you've done
    If there's regret, it doesn't show
    You know, you've let yourself go

    You never care the way you dress
    You stay unshaven, you look a mess
    The smallest thing is too much to do
    I even hold the door for you
    And every rose upon the shelf
    Is one that I've supplied myself
    It's not the same, I'm well aware
    Yet I need to see them there

    I don't know why I say it now
    Why I don't hold my tongue somehow
    But I've this need to tell it all
    No matter where the chips may fall
    For as I sit and reminisce
    There are so many things I miss
    The reassurance of your touch
    The gentle smile that said so much
    You were my tender, thoughtful beau, and now

    I couldn't hate you if I tried
    And I still want you by my side
    We'll lay things on the line
    Perhaps the fault is really mine
    And if it is, please tell me so
    A seed replanted still can grow
    Maybe that's all we need to know
    Come close to me and let yourself go

    A La Hora Que Se Duermen Los Trenes
    Composer(s): Pedro Aznar - Jorge Lencina
    Performer(s): Pedro Aznar



    El invierno vaga
    como un perro que no encuentra hogar
    Ciego se despierta
    corre en los pasillos para husmear

    Y entra en la noche y la apuñala sin piedad
    y el silencio es su único puñal

    Sabe el sitio exacto
    en que los gatos van a conspirar
    Camina de a ratos
    ve a los charcos la luna imitar

    Entonces se asoma y en calma empieza a llorar
    y vestido de agua va a espiar
    A la hora que se duermen los trenes
    no hay secretos que le puedan guardar

    You've Gotta Eat Your Spinach, Baby
    Composer(s): Harry Revel; Mack Gordon
    Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Alice Faye; Jack Haley;
    Bunny Berigan; Tommy Dorsey; Maria Muldaur



    (Jack Haley)
    I want your cheeks to be rosey
    Your lips like the color of wine
    Darling the way that people will say that
    My but you're looking so fine
    Oooooooh

    (Alice Faye)
    I want you strong as Apollo
    A sturdy and masculine sheek
    Darling the way that people will say that
    My what a gorgeous physique
    If you want to be like I want you to be
    follow this carefully:

    You've gotta eat your spinach baby
    That's the proper thing to do
    It'll keep you kind of healthy too
    And what it did for Popeye it'll do for you

    You've gotta eat your spinach baby
    It'll give you lots of TNT
    For whenever you're caressing me
    Cause you'll need lots of vitamins from A-Z
    Please take my advice
    Kissing is dangerous doctors all agree

    (Jack Haley)
    I'll take your advice
    But don't ever kiss anybody but me

    (Alice Faye)
    You've gotta eat your spinach baby
    If you do you can't go wrong
    'Cause it's gonna make you nice and strong
    And the stronger you are the longer you'll live
    And the longer I'll have to love you

    (Shirley Temple)
    Pardon me did I hear you say Spinach - Spinach
    I represent all the kids of the nation
    Who sent me to see you about it
    I bring a message from the kids of the nation
    To tell you we can do without it

    Kindly listen to me
    I'm not alone in my plea
    There are dozens and dozens and dozens of us
    Nephews and nieces and cousins of us
    They want me to say - Hallelujah Hallelujah

    No Spinach, take away that awful greenery
    No Spinach, give us lots of jelly beanery
    We positively refuse to budge
    We'd like lollipops, we like fudge
    But no Spinach Hosanna

    You've got to eat your Spinach baby
    No No No No, I'm singing to you
    No No No No Hallelujah
    Spinach stay away from my door

    We'll tell the bogey man
    The big big bad bad bogey bogey man
    Oh that's just a bluff
    You know we don't believe that stuff

    You gotta eat your Spinach baby
    Children have to do as they are told
    Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
    Children shouldn't be so very bold
    Yes Sir, yes Ma'am
    Or you'll grow up to be a meanie when your old
    Yes Sir, yes Ma'am

    I've want to tell all the kids of the nation
    Who sent me to see you about it
    Children have to do as they are told
    Children shouldn't be so very bold
    Or you will be a meanie when you're old
    So okay - Spinach

    À La Campagne
    Composer(s): René Laquier - Étienne Lorin
    Performer(s): André Bourvil



    On chante tout le temps Paris, la plac' Pigalle
    Les îles des tam-tam, ou les beautés fatales
    Moi, j'vais chanter mes champs
    Et, d'une voix trés ferme, ouvrant ma bouche en grand
    Je vais chanter la ferme
    La ferm' de mon pays, ses bois et ses prairies
    La si jolie Julie, et mêm'sa laiterie

    À la campagne, avec ma compagne
    On vit bien tranquill's comm' deux in...souciants
    À la campagne, avec ma compagne
    On est bien heureux près de nos deux boeufs
    Quand il faut semer, tous les jours on sème
    Et l'soir quand on a semé, alors on s'aime
    Car vous comprenez, c'est bon de s'aimer
    Avec ma compagne
    À la campagne

    On fête aux moissons, quand les oiseaux gazouillent
    Lorsqu'on tue le cochon, quell' joie de faire l'endouille
    Moi j'me plais au grand air, car j'y travaille à l'aise
    Et j'vis bien sur mes terres, où toujours n'vous déplaise
    Des mûres muriront, des becs bécoteront
    Des cri-cri crisseront, des épis ... pousseront

    À la campagne, avec ma compagne
    On rit j'le confess' comm' un' pair'... de fous
    À la campagne avec ma compagne
    On mang' à gogo, comm' deux sa.....tisfaits
    Du travail aux champs, jamais on s'en lasse
    Et l'soir, null'ment lassés, vite on s'enlace
    Car vous comprenez, c'est bon d's'enlacer
    Avec ma compagne
    À la campagne

    Pendant les mois creux, l'on chasse et l'on pêche
    Et l'soir, quand on a pêché, alors on pêche
    C'est ainsi qu'est né, né un nouveau né
    Avec ma compagne
    À la campagne

    You've Got Your Troubles
    Composer(s): Roger Cook; Roger Greenway
    Performer(s): The Fortunes;
    and various other artists



    I see that worried look upon your face
    You've got your troubles, I got mine
    She's found somebody else to take your place
    You've got your troubles, I got mine
    I too have lost my love today
    All of my dreams have flown away
    Now just like you I sit and wonder why
    You've got your troubles, I got mine
    You need some sympathy, well so do I
    You've got your troubles, I got mine
    She used to love me, that I know
    And it don't seem so long ago
    That we were walking, that we were talking
    The way that lovers do
    And so forgive me if I seem unkind
    You've got your troubles, I got mine

    (Counter: And it must seem to you, my friend
    That I ain't got no pity for you
    Well, that ain't true
    You see I love that little girl, little girl, little girl)
    I'd help another place, another time
    You've got your troubles, I got mine
    You've got your troubles, I got mine
    You've got your troubles, I got mine

    Moi, bon nègre tout noir, tout noir
    De la tête aux pieds, si vous voulez voir
    Venu à Paris, pensant rigoler
    Mais moi bien trompé, toujours m'ennuyer
    Aussi, gros chagrin, moi le dire à vous
    Vouloir retourner chez nous

    À la cabane bambou bambou
    À la cabane bambou you!

    Moi mis à la mode française
    Parce que moi forcé, mais pas être à l'aise
    Avec pantalon et tout le fourbi
    Bretelles, faux-col et souliers vernis
    Moi aime bien mieux la mode de chez nous
    Avec pas de costume du tout

    À la cabane bambou bambou
    À la cabane bambou you!

    Moi pour faire partir mon ennui
    Eté Moulin-Rouge, Casino de Paris
    Avoir vu petite femme chahuter beaucoup
    Mais moi préférer danseuse de chez nous
    Qui remuent leur bedon sens dessus dessous
    Et leur gros derrière itou

    À la cabane bambou bambou
    À la cabane bambou you!

    Pourtant emmené en m'en retournant
    Jolie petite femme avec corps blanc
    Moi ferai avec elle famille au complet
    Petits enfants couleur café au lait
    Moi, pour bien remplir mes devoirs d'époux
    Lui donnerai baisers bien doux!

    À la cabane bambou bambou
    À la cabane bambou you!

    Your smile can make the darkness turn to light
    Your eyes make gold & silver not so bright

    You've got what I like

    You say the things I always wanted to
    You walk just like an angel out of the blue
    And when you hold me, my life starts anew
    You've got what I like

    You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss
    And when we go on dates now, endless bliss
    You make a desert island come to life
    You make the whole wide world seem free from strife
    You are the one I'm gonna make my wife

    Toujours à moitié paf

    À la brigade des stups
    Idée fixe la chnouf
    J'ai les moules je flippe
    C'est pas mon genre de trip

    À la brigade des stups
    C'qu'ils voulaient c'est un scoop
    V'la que l'ancien mataf
    M'demande un autographe

    À la brigade des stups

    You've Got To Learn ((Adapted from: Il Faut Savoir (Charles Aznavour) - 1961)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Marcel Stellman Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 2005

    Versions In Other Languages: 1962 - Mijn Hart Bemint Teveel (Conny Vandenbos) 1962 - Devi Sapere (Gino Paoli) 2007 - Debes Saber (Charles Aznavour)



    You've got to learn to show a happy face
    Although you're full of misery
    You mustn't show a trace of sadness
    And never look for sympathy

    You've got to learn, although it's very hard
    The way of pocketing your pride
    And sometimes face humiliation
    While you are burning up inside

    Facing reality is awful hard to do
    When it seems happiness is gone
    You've got to learn, to hide your tears
    And tell your heart life must go on

    You've got to learn, to leave the table
    When love is no longer being served
    Just show them all that you are able
    To leave without saying a word

    You've got to learn, to hide your sorrow
    And go on living as before
    What good is thinking of tomorrow
    Who knows what it may have in store?

    You've got to learn, to be much stronger
    At times your head should rule your heart
    You've got to learn, from hard experience
    And listen to the voice and sometimes pay the price

    But I won't learn to live
    With a broken heart

    You are all I know of love
    How could I ask for more
    You’re everything I’m dreaming of
    You’re all I need from love
    And every star above
    Spells out your name
    I swear I’ll always feel the same
    You’re all I want...

    Barbra:
    From love...

    Josh:
    All I want from love...

    Josh:

    Con te

    You are my only heart

    In te

    Barbra:
    I loved you from the start

    Josh:
    Noi due

    Barbra:
    Together not apart

    Both:
    Forever...

    Both:
    You are all I know of love
    How could I ask for more
    You’re everything I’m dreaming of
    You’re all I need from love
    And every star above
    Spells out your name
    I swear I’ll always feel the same
    You’re all I want...

    Josh:
    From love...

    Both:
    You’re all I want from love

    Josh:
    Pensami

    Barbra:
    I think of him

    Josh:
    Perche` io sogno te

    Barbra:
    You’ll be with me

    Josh:
    Due cuori ed un anima

    Barbra:
    My love flows free through you

    Josh:
    Guariti e liberi

    Barbra:
    I live my whole life

    Josh:
    I’ll live my life

    Both:
    To be with you
    You’ll always be the one who taught me everything
    My heart knows to be sure
    My heart knows you
    You’re all I know of love
    How could I ask for more
    You’re everything I’m dreaming of
    You’re all I need from love

    Barbra:
    And every star above

    Josh:
    Every star above

    Both:
    Spells out your name
    I swear I’ll always feel the same
    You’re all I want...

    Josh:
    From love…

    Kookie Little Paradise
    Composer(s): Lee Pockriss - Bob Hilliard
    Performer(s): Jo Ann Campbell



    Jukebox playing in the jungle
    No charge, absolutely free
    Soft drinks bubbling down the mountain
    To the Caribbean Sea

    What a kookie little paradise
    What a kookie little paradise
    Never was an island half as nice
    As my kookie little paradise

    Sports cars, one for everybody
    No speed limit on the beach
    But there's lots of education
    Making love is what they teach

    What a kookie little paradise
    What a kookie little paradise
    Never was an island half as nice
    As my kookie little paradise

    Boyfriends, any girl can have one
    Girldfriends, one for every guy
    Ice cream loaded with bananas
    And there's always pizza pie

    What a kookie little paradise
    What a kookie little paradise
    Never was an island half as nice
    As my kookie little paradise

    That's my kookie little paradise
    I love my kookie little paradise
    What a kookie little paradise

    You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
    ((French Version: Tu Ferais Mieux De L'oublier (Eddy Mitchell) - 1965)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney First release: The Beatles - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



    Here I stand head in hand
    Turn my face to the wall
    If she's gone I can't go on
    Feelin' two-foot small

    Everywhere people stare
    Each and every day
    I can see them laugh at me
    And I hear them say

    Hey you've got to hide your love away
    Hey you've got to hide your love away

    How can I even try
    I can never win
    Hearing them, seeing them
    In the state I'm in

    How could she say to me
    Love will find a way
    Gather round all you clowns
    Let me hear you say

    Hey you've got to hide your love away
    Hey you've got to hide your love away

    A Kona Hema 'O Ka Lani
    (Traditional)



    At South Kona, the king
    Observes Ka`awaloa
    Knows the peace of `Ehu
    Majestic are you, o king

    Going to Hawai`i
    To take care of the districts
    In plain view the mountaintops
    Seen are the cloud banks

    At mid-tide on the sea
    On the whispering sea
    Speaking of Kawaihae
    Stirred by the sudden shower

    The wind increases
    The sea rises
    The sea of Mahukona
    The wind named `Apa`apa`a

    Crowded is Kohala
    To the mouth with people
    Tell the theme
    The royal Kalakaua

    You've Got To Be Carefully Taught Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Billy Tabbert and multiple other artists



    You've got to be taught
    To hate and fear
    You've got to be taught
    From year to year
    It's got to be drummed
    In your dear little ear
    You've got to be carefully taught

    You've got to be taught to be afraid
    Of people whose eyes are oddly made
    And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade
    You've got to be carefully taught

    You've got to be taught before it's too late
    Before you are six or seven or eight
    To hate all the people your relatives hate
    You've got to be carefully taught

    You've Got That Thing
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Performer(s): Leo Reisman;
    and various other artists



    Since first you blew in like a boisterous breeze
    I often have wondered, Dear
    Why gentlemen all seem to fall on their knees
    The moment that you appear
    Your fetching physique is hardly unique
    You're mentally not so hot
    You'll never win laurels because of your morals
    But I'll tell you what you've got.....

    You've got that thing, you've got that thing
    That thing that makes birds forget to sing
    Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

    You've got that charm, that subtle charm
    That makes young farmers desert the farm
    'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

    You've got what Adam craved when he
    With love for Eve was tortured
    She only had an apple tree
    But you, you've got an orchard

    You've got those ways, those taking ways
    That make me rush off to Cartier's
    For a wedding ring, you've got that thing

    You've got that thing, you've got that thing
    That thing that makes vines prefer to cling
    Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

    You've got those looks, those fatal looks
    That make book censors enjoy their books
    'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

    Just what made Samson be, for years
    Delilah's lord and keeper
    She only had a pair of shears
    But you, you've got a reaper

    You've got that power, that power to grip
    That makes me map out a wedding trip
    For the early spring, you've got that thing

    You've got that thing, you've got that thing
    That thing that makes bees refuse to sting
    Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

    You've got that kiss, that kiss that warms
    That makes reformers reform reforms
    'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

    They tell us Trojan Helen's lips
    Made every man her slavey
    If her face launched a thousand ships
    Well, yours could launch a navy

    You've got that that love, and such a lot
    It makes me think you're prepared for what
    Any stork might bring, you've got that thing

    Give me a kiss to build a dream on
    And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
    Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
    A kiss to build a dream on

    Give me a kiss before you leave me
    And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
    Leave me one thing before we part
    A kiss to build a dream on

    When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
    Weaving romances, making believe they're true

    Give me your lips for just a moment
    And my imagination will make that moment live
    Give me what you alone can give
    A kiss to build a dream on

    When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
    Weaving romances...making believe they're true

    Give me a kiss to build a dream on
    And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
    Ah sweetheart, I ask no more than this

    You've Got Me Where You Want Me
    Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warner
    Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Louis Armstrong;
    Judy Garland; Jan Howard; Johnny Mercer



    You’ve got me where you want me
    And I hope you’re satisfied
    You’ve got me where you want me
    And you hardly even tried
    One single look was all I took
    And then, starry-eyed
    I watched my poor old heart
    Go on that roller-coaster ride
    I say I won’t surrender
    But I know darn well I will
    My hopes are pretty slender
    And my chances almost nil
    Why should I try to alibi
    Anyone can see
    You’ve got me where you want me
    And it’s where I wanna be

    You’ve got me where you want me
    And I hope you’re satisfied
    You’ve got me where you want me
    And you never even tried
    A single look was all it took
    And then, starry-eyed
    I watched my poor heart
    Go on that roller-coaster ride
    I say I won’t surrender
    But I know darn well you will
    My hopes are pretty slender
    And my chances almost nil
    Why should I try to alibi
    When anyone can see
    You’ve got me where you want me
    You’ve got me where you want me
    And it’s where I wanna be
    And it’s where I wanna be
    And it’s where I wanna be

    A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
    Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Jim Steinman
    Performer(s): Meat Loaf



    If you listen, to the night
    You can hear the darkness call
    I can barely stand to wait
    I can barely stand at all
    C'mon closer to me now
    It's like we're sharing the same skin
    We gotta get out of this jail
    We gotta let the future in
    So many things in your life
    That your bound to regret
    Why didn't I do that?
    Why didn't I do this?
    So many chances you lost
    That you'll never forget
    Why didn't I make it?
    Why didn't I take it right there?
    The loneliest words you'll ever know
    "if only-if only it was so"
    The emptiest words that there'll ever be
    "it could have been me"
    "it could have been me"
    The loneliest words you'll ever know
    "if only-if only it was so"
    The emptiest words that there'll ever be
    "it could have been me"
    "it could have been me"
    You'll have to pay for it later
    If you don't get it when it's going for free
    Believe me -! believe me -!

    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    It's something that's always been so
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

    And one of these nights
    You're gonna show me that you already know
    There's a feast waiting for you
    And you've never even gotten a taste
    It's later than you think and
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
    You shouldn't tremble when we touch
    There's no reason for these fears
    It's a promise that was made
    We've been promised this for years
    I wanna show you it all
    What to do and where and how!
    'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now
    We'll never be as young as we are right now!

    So many cries in the night
    That you try to ignore
    Why didn't I do this?
    Why didn't I do that?
    So many unanswered prayers
    So many unopened doors
    Why didn't I take it?
    Why didn't I make it come true?
    The loneliest words you'll ever know
    "if only - if only it was so"
    The emptiest words that there'll ever be
    "it could have been me"
    "it could have been me"
    The loneliest words you'll ever know
    "if only - if only it was so"
    The emptiest words that there'll ever be
    "it could have been me"
    "it could have been me"
    You'll have to pay for it later
    If you don't get it when it's going for free!
    Believe me! believe me, believe me!

    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    It's something that has always been so
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

    And one of these nights
    I'm gonna show you that you already know...
    There's a feast waiting for you
    And you've never even gotten a taste
    It's later than, you think and
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
    There's a feast waiting for you
    And you've never even gotten a taste
    It's later than you think and
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!

    Tyre tracks and broken hearts
    That's all we're leaving behind!
    It doesn't matter what we're losing
    It only matters what we're going to find!
    Tyre tracks and broken hearts
    That's all we're leaving behind!
    It doesn't matter what we're losing
    It only matters what we're going to find!
    Tyre tracks and broken hearts
    That's all we're leaving behind!
    It doesn't matter what we're losing
    It only matters what we're going to find!
    Tyre tracks and broken hearts
    That's all we're leaving behind!
    It doesn't matter what we're losing
    It only matters what we're going to find!
    There's a feast waiting for you
    And you've never even gotten a taste
    It's later than you think and
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
    A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
