Almost Composer(s): Paul Humphreys - Andy McCluskey First release by: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - 1979
I'd travel oh so far To be where you are I'd travel there by car To be where you are But if I get there I'd find That I'd change my mind It happens all the time To a friend of mine
Always making statements And moving step by step Always acting theories I will regret My only consolation In the things that I've done Are the people who know me And the objects I own
Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time To a friend of mine Happens all the time
Almaz Composer(s): Randy Crawford First release by: Randy Crawford - 1986 Covered by multiple other artists
She only smiles He only tell her that she's the flower of wind and spring In all her splendor sweetly surrendering the love that innocence brings Almaz, pure and simple Born in a world where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
Now I watch closely and I watch wholly I can't imagine love so rare She's young and tender But will I bend her? I look around if she everything Almaz, pure and simple Born in a world where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
He throws her kisses She shares his wishes I'm sure he's king without a doubt with love so captive so surely captive I ask if I could play the part Almaz, pure and simple Born in a world where love survives Now men will want her 'Cause life don't haunt her Almaz, you lucky lucky thing
Wish I May, Wish I Might Composer(s): Hugh Martin; Ralph Blane Performer(s): Mel Tormé; and various other artists
Needles, pins, triplets, twins When a man marries, his troubles begin When a man dies, his troubles end Let's touch thumbs and see who wins
Wish I may, wish I might Get the wishes I'm wishing tonight A young cadet, blonde or brunette A Romeo in search of Juliet Wish I might, wish I may Get the wishes I'm wishin' today A lot of poise, a lot of noise And an awful lot of boys
I want a date, who'll stay out late A brother rat who'd leave me flat won't rate Want some orchids from New York A wrap of taffeta will be round me Scads of lads will hound me And they will cheer For the belle of the ball of the year So hold me close and hug me tight For that's the wish I wish I may I might
Wish I had an old jalop job Just a little olden top job Wish I had myself a C card That would suit me to a T pard I could take my date a-drivin' And I would get the wish I wish I tonight
Wish he'd send a dozen roses Wish I had the proper clotheses Wish I had a slinky hairdo Wish my evening dress was Bardeaux I would knock their little eyes out If I could get the wish I wish tonight
Wish we didn't have a chaperone Wish we had a chance to be all alone We could slip away and tell jokes and drink Cokes But this we're afraid the prom would never condone And so we wish we may, we wish me might
Just to see the latest dancing craze Makes me wish for my romancing days Seeing babies in the wild woods now Makes me wish for second childhood now
Needles, pins, triplets, twins Ah, ah, ah
Give a yell, give a cheer For the belle of the ball of the year So hold me close and hug me tight For that's the wish I wish I may, I might
The Lady Is A Woman Composer(s): Dick Feller Performer(s): Jerry Reed
She's elegant she's gracious a lady of the finest social set And you're the rich man that can buy her all the world And what she wants she gets You give her charge to count some cheque books Thinking that's the way to keep her satisfied But what she needs the most is what no charge or count of cheque book ever buy
The lady is a woman even you should understand While the lady may need soft things the woman needs a man Yes the lady is a woman that you can be certain of While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love [ guitar ] Well all I do is drive your limousine and chauffer you the way you'd like to go But when I look at your lady even I can see there's something you don't know You give her everything she wanted but not one of the things she really needs Yes you still may have your lady but lately now your woman comes to me
Your lady is a woman even you should understand While your lady may need soft things still your woman needs a man Your lady is a woman that you can be certain of While your lady wants for nothing still your woman wants for love
Ô menina vai ver nesse almanaque como é que isso tudo começou Diz quem é que marcava o tique-taque e a ampulheta do tempo disparou Se mamava de sabe lá que teta o primeiro bezerro que berrou Me responde, por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Quem penava no sol a vida inteira, como é que a moleira não rachou Me diz, me diz Quem tapava esse sol com a peneira e quem foi que a peneira esfuracou Quem pintou a bandeira brasileira que tinha tanto lápis de cor Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Diz quem foi que fez o primeiro teto que o projeto não desmoronou Quem foi esse pedreiro, esse arquiteto, e o valente primeiro morador Diz quem foi que inventou o analfabeto e ensinou o alfabeto ao professor Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Quem é que sabe o signo do capeta, o ascendente de Deus Nosso Senhor Quem não fez a patente da espoleta explodir na gaveta do inventor Quem tava no volante do planeta que o meu continente capotou Me responde por favor Pra onde vai o meu amor Quando o amor acaba
Vê se tem no almanaque, essa menina, como é que termina um grande amor Se adianta tomar uma aspirina ou se bate na quina aquela dor Se é chover o ano inteiro chuva fina ou se é como cair o elevador Me responde por favor Pra que tudo começou Quando tudo acaba
(Wish I Could) Hideaway Composer(s): John C. Fogerty Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Howdy, friend, begging your pardon Is there something on your mind? You've gone and sold all your belongings Is that something in your eye?
Well, I know you really never Liked the way it all goes down Go on, Hideaway
What's that you say? We're all bound for the graveyard Ooh, I wish you well Think it's gonna rain Oh, what's the difference Is there some way I can help?
'Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh, Lord Wish I Could Hideaway
Hold on, give yourself a chance I can hear the leaving train
All aboard! Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! Ooh, I wish you well See you soon, maybe tomorrow You can never tell
"Cause you know, I'm gonna miss you When you're gone, oh Wish I could Hideaway
Alma, Corazón Y Vida Composer(s): Adrián Flores Performer(s): Raphael and multiple other artists
Recuerdo aquella vez que yo te conocí Recuerdo aquella tarde Pero no me acuerdo ni como te vi Pero si te diré que yo me enamoré De esos tus lindos ojos De tus labios rojos que no olvidaré Oye esta canción que lleva Alma, corazón y vida Esas tres cositas nada más te doy Porque no tengo fortuna Estas tres cosas te ofrezco Alma, corazón y vida y nada más Alma para conquistarte Corazón para quererte Y vida para vivirla junto a ti
Ik zal Irak nooit binnenvallen Ik ben betrouwbaar tot en met Ik stamp nooit in iemand zijn ballen Ik surf nooit naar seks op het internet Ik wil niemand in de weg staan Ik ben nooit fake of nep Omdat mijn stoppen enkel doorslaan Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik ga nooit in Holland wonen Ik roep nooit: Vlaanderen vrij Of tegen ultra-francofonen Jullie doen net zo flauw als wij Je zal me zellen drugs zien dealen Ik geef nooit een vrouw een mep Ik krijg alleen maar dat debiele Als ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik zou nooit om te plagen Aan iemand zonder benen vragen Welke snelheid hij nog haalt met zijn step Ik stop nooit om te pesten Zowat condooms in vreemde vesten Tenzij ik slecht geslapen heb
Ik wil een misverstand vermijden Dus zeg ik eerlijk en oprecht En in alle bescheidenheid Slapen kan ik echt ... heel slecht
Alma Mía En La Noche Composer(s): Horacio Guarany Performer(s): Horacio Guarany
Alma alma mía en la noche Vuela como un pájaro azul Sueña con la paz de los hombres con la risa de un niño con tu amor y mi amor Alma corazón en las nubes Busca tu ternura y tu luz dulce mi guitarra te canta canción que en mi garganta se hace llanto por vos Adonde irás poema gris cuando no esté cerca de ti? adónde iré cuando no estés? La vida no es verdad sin ti... Alma tanto amor en las manos quema como un infierno cruel busca como un pájaro ciego esa paz y el sosiego que le da tu querer Deja que murmure la gente Ama como nunca has de amar piensa que tu llanto es mi llanto y cuando haya una pena junto a ti he de llorar
Wisdom Of A Fool Composer(s): Roy Alfred; Abner Silver Performer(s): Barbara Mandrell; and various other artists
If youre lucky enough To have someone who loves you Then be glad that you got Someone who loves you Cold lips that were warm Can grow cool Listen to the wisdom of a fool When you take his poor heart And you do something to it And you think to yourself Why did I do it You may find that the World can be cruel Listen to the wisdom of a fool Now I had a love Just the same as you And I was a fool Not to see But you still have time to say Your love him Im afraid its too late for me So, go back to the arms That you know will be waiting Hold him close in your arms And be glad that hes waiting Youll be happy Believe me, if youll Only listen to the wisdom of a fool Only listen to the wisdom of a fool
Alma Mater Composer(s): Terry Kath Performer(s): Chicago
Looking back a few short years When we made our plans and played the cards The way they fell
Clinging to our confidence We stood on the threshold of the goal That we knew dear
And though we... had our fights Had our short... tempered nights I couldn't pull our dreams apart All our needs and all our wants Drawn together in our heart We felt it from the very start
It's all happened recently Now we're living in that dream We had not long ago
Everything is going fine And now we just have to keep in mind...
We must set... brand new goals We must not... lose control Of the possiblity... of finding the discovery That would let everybody see That we were just meant to be

My love, the days are colder So, let me take your hand And lead you through a snow-white land Oh, oh Oh, oh
My love, the year is older So, let me hold you tight And wile away this winter night Oh, oh
I see the firelight in your eyes Come kiss me now, before it dies We'll find a winter world of love 'Cause love is warmer in December My darling, stay here in my arms Till summer comes along And in our winter world of love You see, we always will remember That as the snow lay on the ground We found our winter world of love
Because the nights are longer We'll have the time to say such tender things Before each day Oh, oh Oh, oh
And then, when love is stronger Perhaps, you'll give your heart And promise that we'll never part, oh, no
And at the end of every year I'll be so glad to have you near We'll find a winter world of love 'Cause love is warmer in December My darling, stay here in my arms Till summer comes along And in our winter world of love You see, we always will remember That as the snow lay on the ground We found our winter world of love

Alma Mater Composer(s): Neal Smith Performer(s): Alice Cooper
Rain is falling Down my cheek Searching for the sea Tomorrow, like the rain I'll be back home again
I watch The bus As it pulls out of view Someday like that bus I will be leavin too
But you know It breaks my heart To leave you Camelback My high school
And now Alone Cryin in my beer 'Cause old friends said Goodbye, I guess I'll be leavin too
But you know It breaks my heart To leave you Cortez I'll miss you
Yes I will Yes I will You know I will
Yes I will Yes I will You know I will
Well so long Everybody I hope that I would see you again Goodbye Everybody I finally grew up They finally let me out of school

Winterwood Composer(s): Don McLean Performer(s): Don McLean; and various other artists
No-one can take your place with me And time has proven that I'm right There's no place I'd rather be Than at your place for the night
No time can pass your sight unseen No moment steals away unfound Lifetime lived in such a dream Floats like a feather to the ground
(Chorus) And for the first time I've been seeing The things I'd never notice, without you And for the first time I'm discovering The things I use to treasure, about you
The birds like leaves on Winterwood Sing hopeful songs on dismal days They've learned to live life as they should They are at peace with natures ways
You are as natural as the night And all that springs from you is good And the children born beneath your light Are like the birds on Winterwood
Alma De Acero Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Podrás tener mucha suerte podrás andar por el mundo destrozando corazones podrás tener mil amores pero este que estás dejando aunque quisieras no lo repones
Tú sabes que soy parejo ya te lo dije una vez si yo no te causo penas no quiero que me las des
Tú ya conoces mi vida a veces me ando cayendo y el orgullo me levanta nací con el alma de acero y aunque deveras te quiero te dejo que me abandones nomás no llores si alguién te canta
Tú sabes que soy parejo ya te lo dije una vez si yo no te causo penas no quiero que me las des
Neguémonos a ser tiempo en el espacio amémonos practiquemos el milagro de ser uno y sólo uno mitad ángel, mitad diablo Alma, alma que el deseo no es el agua ama, ama y canta, canta ni a la tierra ni a la llama ni a ese aire que no sabe la que es todo, la que es nada la que es tuyo, lo que es mío lo que es cuerpo, lo que es alma alma, alma Dejémonos de metáforas y frases callémonos lo banal y lo importante y acudamos al silencio que es el más bello lenguaje a1ma, alma nos separan las palabras calla, calla y habla, habla háblame con la mirada allí donde se confunde lo que es todo, lo que es nada lo que es tuyo, lo que es mío lo que es cuerpo, lo que es alma alma, alma Neguémonos amémonos dejémonos callémonos
