Let Me Call You Sweetheart Composer(s): Beth Slater Whitson - Leo Friedman First release by: The Peerless Quartet - 1911 Covered by multiple other artists
I am dreaming Dear of you Day by day Dreaming when the skies are blue When they're gray When the silv'ry moonlight gleams Still I wander on in dreams In a land of love, it seems Just with you
Let me call you "Sweetheart" I'm in love with you Let me hear you whisper that you love me too Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true Let me call you "Sweetheart" I'm in love with you
Longing for you all the while More and more Longing for the sunny smile I adore Birds are singing far and near Roses blooming ev'rywhere You, alone, my heart can cheer You, just you
Let me call you "Sweetheart" I'm in love with you Let me hear you whisper that you love me too Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true Let me call you "Sweetheart" I'm in love with you
Breaking All The Rules Composer(s): Peter Frampton; Keith Reid Performer(s): Peter Frampton; Ratos de Porão
We are the people one and all From deliverance to the fall From the battle and the heat To our triumph and defeat We are the young ones crying out Full of anger full of doubt And we're breaking all of the rules Never choosing to be fools We are tired of being used We are constantly excused In the battle and the heat In the shadow of retreat We are the young ones crying out Full of anger full of doubt And we're breaking all of the rules Never choosing to be fools We are the people one and all From deliverance to the fall From the bitter to the brave From the cradle to the grave We are the young ones crying out Full of anger full of doubt And we're breaking all of the rules Never choosing to be fools

Je n'sais si c'est l'effet De ta moustache mais c'est un fait Je me mets à loucher Sur tous les hommes que j'vois passer Et quand un moustachu Vient à m'croiser je n'y tiens plus J'ai peine à m'empêcher D'aller vers lui pour lui d'mander Monsieur pourquoi t'as d'la moustache? Dis-le moi ça me fera plaisir Oh monsieur, vois-tu, il faut qu'je sache À quoi qu'ça peut bien servir J'voudrais qu'tu m'expliques Si c'est vrai qu'ça pique Dans les moments pathétiques Tiens-moi au courant Dis-moi si vraiment Ça chatouille en embrassant

Morena
Composer(s): J.C. Costa Netto - André Luiz Oliveira
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia
Morena
Com que força você diz: morena
E aperta o meu corpo contra o seu
Sereno, seu olhar me leva ao delírio
Misterioso brilho
Da noite sem luar
Morena
A paixão só pode ser morena
Tranquila e perigosa feito o mar
E mesmo que eu naufrague,
Sempre vale a pena
Tempestade amena
Que me faz navegar
Meu bem, que estranha correnteza
Que da ilusão da terra firme
Quer me afastar
Que domina, aprisiona e me devora
E me arrasta mar afora
Pra me libertar
Morena
Não desejo mais que a cor morena
Que ilumina a cena
E me ensina amar

Let Me Be The One Composer(s): Paul Williams - Roger Nichols First release by: The Carpenters - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
Some sleepless night if you should find yourself alone Let me be the one you run to Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to Let me be the one
To set things right when this old world's turned upside down Let me be the one you run to Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to Let me be the one
For love and understanding to find a quiet place For silent understanding a loving touch Come to me when things go wrong and there's no love to light the way
Let me be the one you run to Let me be the one you come to when you need someone to turn to Let me be the one

I'm your God, I've just arrived

Dallas, dollars, limousines
Debutantes and dynasty
Here's a dream that money buys
Late to bed and late to rise
Luxury, give it me
Get it, I got it
Fantasy and ecstacy
Get it, I got it
Grab a piece of that golden fleece
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
On the beach with the nouveaux riches
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
On the beach with a Rolls Royce each
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Roll X, Rolls Royce, Romeo
Say hello to Saville Row
Take a cheque from Coutts & Co.
Limousines, all systems go
Success ((aka Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home (by Sinéad O'Connor) - 1992))
Composer(s): John Mullins
First release by: Loretta Lynn - 1962
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success had made a failure of our home
If we could share an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done to you
You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
Let Me Be Composer(s): P.F. Sloan Performer(s): The Turtles
Please don't mistake me or try to make me The shadow of anybody else I ain't the him or her you think I am I'm just trying hard to be myself Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole That may sound good to you, not to me
Let me be, let me be To think like I want to Let me be, let me be That's all I ask of you I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to plan me or understand me I can't stand to be understood I could never give in to or ever live up to Being like you think I should I've got some inner need which I'm tryin' to heed I can't take hand-me-down destiny
Let me be, let me be, To think like I want to Let me be, let me be That's all I ask of you I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to change me or rearrange me To satisfy the selfishness of you I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules But to-each-his-own philosophy
Let me be, let me be To think like I want to Let me be, let me be That's all I ask of you I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be I said that's all I ever can be I said that's all I ever can be

Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison Performer(s): Roy Orbison; Truly Lover Trio
I wonder why you threw your diary away When you walk back I nearly die What can I say Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday Now we're apart Breaking up is breaking my heart
I find myself alone at night, and then I cry No tenderness My happiness just said goodbye Now your gone, and I'm alone I wonder why we had to part Breaking up is breaking my heart Baby, breaking up is breaking my heart
The love affair we used to share Is cold, and still I loved you then I love you now, I always will The day that you found someone new My lonely world just fell apart Out of your arms drives me out of my mind Baby, breaking up is breaking my heart
Breakin' Down The Walls Composer(s): Phil Bates Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
Talk is cheap, but it can't pay For all the hurt you threw my way Oh, no - oh, no
Love is blind but I can see You're trying to make a fool of me I know - i know
Sometimes i feel just like I'm running on ice I might slip and slide girl But you won't hurt me twice, oh no
Chorus No matter what you say You'll never stop me Breaking down the walls around your heart No matter what you do You just can't stop me Breaking down the walls around your heart
Love is passion, love is pain The heat is on, we're all insane I know, I know
Life is bitter, life is sweet
You just can't ever admit defeat Oh, no - oh, no
Sometimes it feels like we've been fighting too long It can't be right to make me feel so wrong - oh, no
Chorus
Did you ever feel like superman Got the world in your hands But you never can Seem to break down the walls
Did you ever feel like a drowning man Got your life in your hands But you never can Seem to break down the walls
Sometimes it feels just like I'm running on ice I might slip and slide girl But you won't hurt me twice - oh, no
Let Love Speak For Itself Composer(s): John Stimpson - Ian Wilson - Paul Young Performer(s): Sad Café
In my life there are so many things I wanna do But the main thing in my life, baby, is loving you You know the hard times I had when I was feeling so down When things didnt work out right You came along with your magic touch Helped me all through the lonely nights Keep your true love all to yourself Dont give your love to anyone else Let love speak for itself Never had anyone in my life as sweet as you And the thought of us being apart like this Just can't be true You know the vision of love I had was never quite right Cos I didnt understand You took the love that was in my heart You're a rose in a barren land Keep your true love all to yourself Dont give your love to anyone else Let love speak for itself Never had anyone in my life as sweet as you And the thought of us being apart like this Just can't be true You know the vision of love I had was never quite right Cos I didnt understand You took the love that was in my heart You're a rose in a barren land Keep your true love all to yourself Dont give your love to anyone else Let love speak for itself Let love speak for itself Let love speak for itself

Let Joy And Innocence Prevail Composer(s): Hans Zimmer - Trevor Horn Performer(s): Grace Jones
I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier Gone to war in some strange country far away No word had come to her But the rumors of great battles fought Men dying in their thousands and a world full of fear As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen As she placed it in the window softly without thinking She said let this burning candle be a beacon
Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail
And one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husband fall In a great white cavalry charge And waking in tears, she saw the candle burning in the window She still had hope And through the window, a man in the distance But has he came closer, she saw he was a stranger
The stranger said I bring a message from a general A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid
And she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearless A captain and a husband I have gained this bright new day And she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside him And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her
Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail
