    Luz Y Sombra
    Composer(s): Ruben Fuentes - R. Cárdenas
    Performer(s): Javier Solís



    Yo sé que te han dicho que no valgo nada, que no valgo nada
    que vivo tan solo para los caprichos de tu corazón
    Si a nadie le pido y a nadie le ruego, a quién le preocupa
    a quién le preocupa si vivo si muero por esta pasión

    Quién sepa de amores que calle y comprenda
    que me dejen solo sufriendo en silencio mis penas de amores
    Si yo soy dichoso teniéndote cerca
    qué le importa a nadie si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón
    si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón

    Quién sepa de amores que calle y comprenda
    que me dejen solo sufriendo en silencio mis penas de amores
    Si yo soy dichoso teniéndote cerca
    qué le importa a nadie si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón
    si eres luz y sombra de mi corazón

    More Love
    Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
    Originally performed by: Smokey Robinson & The Miracles



    Let it be soon, don't hesitate
    Make it now, don't wait
    Open your heart and let my love come in
    I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart with...

    More love, more joy
    Than age or time could ever destroy
    My love will be so sound
    It would take about 100 lifetimes
    To live it down, wear it down, tear it down

    This is no fiction, this is no act
    This is real, it's a fact
    I'll always belong only to you
    Each day I'll be living to make sure I'm giving you...

    More love, more joy
    Than age or time could ever destroy
    My love will be so sound
    It would take about 100 lifetimes
    To live it down, wear it down, tear it down

    As we grow older no need to fear
    When you need me I'll be here
    I'll be beside you every step of the way
    A heart that's truthful & keeping you youthful with...

    More love, more joy
    Than age or time could ever destroy
    My love will be so sound
    It would take about 100 lifetimes
    To live it down, wear it down, tear it down

    Luz Do Sol
    Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
    Performer(s): Caetano Veloso
    and multiple other artists



    Luz do sol, que a folha traga e traduz
    Em verde novo, em folha, em graça, em vida, em força, em luz
    Céu azul, que vem até onde os pés
    Tocam a terra e a terra inspira e exala os seus azuis
    Reza, reza o rio, córrego pro rio, rio pro mar
    Reza a correnteza, roça, beira, doura a areia
    Marcha o homem sobre o chão, leva no coração uma ferida acesa
    Dono do sim e do não diante da visão da infinita beleza
    Finda por ferir com a mão essa delicadeza
    A coisa mais querida, a glória da vida

    More Like The Movies
    Composer(s): Shel Silverstein
    Performer(s): Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show;
    Dennis Locorriere



    I guess the dance is over now
    So you just curtsey and I'll bow
    And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne

    Then I'll just take what's left of me
    Right back to where it used to be
    And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky

    I wish I could have made it
    More like the movies for you
    Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
    I'm sorry when I kissed you
    You only heard me whisper
    You never got to hear those violins
    Did you girl?
    No you never got to hear those violins, no

    The castles that you built so high
    Were just too steep for me to climb
    And I guess these dirty streets of mine
    Were just too rough for you

    I wish I could've helped you see
    Just one of your sweet childhood dreams
    But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true

    And I wish I could have made it
    More like the movies for you
    Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been
    I'm sorry when I kissed you
    You only heard me whisper
    You never got to hear those violins
    Did you girl?
    No you never got to hear those violins

    Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you
    You only heard me whisper
    You never got to hear those violins
    No you never got to hear those violins

    Composer(s): Fito Paez
    Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



    Luz de sol
    luz de todos los astros
    corazón otra vez desvelado
    y siempre todo que pasa
    y siempre todo que pasa

    Un temor
    una linea cerrada quiero ver
    quiero verte la cara
    y siempre todo que pasa
    y siempre todo que pasa

    Solo escucharme y dejarme salir
    todos sabemos que es asi
    solo tu amor me podra rescatar
    por un momento en esta
    cama que vuela
    barco sin velas
    luz quitapenas.

    Luz de sol …

    Solo escucharme y dejarme salir

    solo tu amor me podra rescatar
    por un momento en esta cama que vuela

    luz quitapenas
    trato de estar aqui

    More Fool Me
    Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins;
    Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford
    Performer(s): Genesis



    Here am I
    Who while away the mornings
    Since you've gone
    Too long have I lay alone
    Not knowing which way to turn

    And there you are
    Quite sure that you were right
    Knowing full well
    That I'd be the first one
    To go down

    And you'd be the one who was laughing
    Except when things were'nt going you're way
    Then the lady would say that she'd had enough
    Wandering around on her own

    The day you left
    I think you knew you'd not be back
    Well at least it would seem that way
    Because you never said goodbye
    But when it comes round to you and me
    I'm sure it will work out alright

    And you'd be the one who was laughing
    Giving me something I don't need
    You know, I'd always hold you and keep you warm
    Oh! more fool me

    But when it comes
    Round to you and me
    I ask myself
    Do I really believe
    In your love

    Yes, I'm sure it will work out alright

    Luz De Luna
    Composer(s): Alvaro Carrillo
    Performer(s): Javier Solís



    Yo quiero luz de luna para mi noche triste
    para pensar divina la ilusión que me trajiste
    para sentirte mía, mía tú como ninguna
    pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna

    Yo siento tus amarras como garfios como garras
    que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor
    y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada
    que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna
    pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna

    Si ya no vuelves nunca provincianita mía
    a tu selva querida que está triste y está fría
    que al menos tu recuerdo ponga luz sobre mi bruma
    pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna

    Yo siento tus amarras como garfios como garras
    que me ahogan en la playa de la farra y del dolor
    y siento tus cadenas arrastrar en la noche callada
    que sea plenilunada, azul como ninguna
    pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna

    Pues desde que te fuiste no he tenido luz de luna

    More and more this heart of mine confesses
    More and more I'm caught in your caresses
    Warmed by the breath of your sighs
    Cooled by the blue of your eyes
    More and more I find it more than thrilling
    To share this dream that needed fulfilling
    More and more I'm less and less unwilling
    To give up wanting more and more of you

    Couple o' jiggers of moonlight, and add a star
    Pour in the blue of a June night, and one guitar
    Mix in a couple o' dreamers, and there you are
    Lovers hail the moonlight cocktail

    Now add a couple of flowers, a drop of dew
    Stir for a couple of hours, till dreams come true
    As to the number of kisses, it's up to you
    Moonlight cocktails need a few

    Cool it in the summer breeze
    Serve it in the starlight underneath the trees
    You'll discover tricks like these
    Are sure to make your moonlight cocktail please

    Follow the simple directions, and they will bring
    Life of another complexion, where you'll be King
    You will awake in the morning and start to sing
    Moonlight cocktails are the thing

    Follow the simple directions, and they will bring
    Life of another complexion, where you'll be King
    You will awake in the morning and start to sing
    Moonlight cocktails are the thing

    La, la, la, la, la...
    Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne
    Et de cette chanson gitane
    Qui nous faisait rêver quand tout le ciel brillait
    Que mille étoiles scintillaient mettant un peu de rêve bleu
    Dans nos yeux
    Je n'oublierais jamais que tu m'as serré Chéri dans tes bras
    Ce soir-là

    Te souviens-tu des nuits d'Espagne
    Et de cette chanson gitane
    Qui racontait l'histoirede cette rose noire
    Toujours plus belle à l'infini mais qui fleurissait dans la nuit
    Si jolie
    Et sous la lune bleue comme on était heureux
    Seuls tous les deux

    La, la, la, la, la...

    N'oublie jamais les nuits d'Espagne
    Ni la jolie chanson gitane
    Qui racontait l'histoire de cette rose noire
    Toujours plus belle à l'infini mais qui fleurissait dans la nuit
    Dans la nuit
    C'est depuis ce soir-là que j'ai eu la joie
    De t'avoir à moi pour la vie
    La, la, la, la, la...

    And fished old Paynee River
    Through the years I'm proud to say
    Luther was my friend

    They all called him crazy
    Said his mind was simple
    They even talked of puttin' him away

    But he wouldn't hurt nobody
    And I hated all the town folk
    The way they treated Luther
    And the game they used to play

    They said, "Luther here's a dollar
    Luther here's a quarter
    Take either one you want, old man
    Which one will it be"

    Then they'd all hoop and holler
    And he never took the dollar
    He'd take the shiny quarter
    Smile and walk away

    I watched him growin' older
    And I finally gave up countin'
    The times they made him play
    That awful game

    Till one day he lay a-dyin'
    And I was sittin' by him
    He said "Boy, before before I go
    There's somethin' to explain"

    "I know you've always wondered
    Why I just took their quarters
    And now, son
    You're old enough to understand"

    "But you see, the way I had it figured
    Was never take that dollar
    The day you do, boy
    The money game will end"

    They said, "Luther, here's a dollar
    Luther, here's a quarter
    Take either one you want, old man
    Which one will it be"

    Then they'd all hoop and holler
    But he never took the dollar
    He'd take the shiny quarter
    Smile and walk away

    Now Luther lay a-sleepin'
    In the ground down by the river
    Lord knows I miss that old black man

    But twenty sacks of quarters
    And the wisdom of his thinkin'
    Have made my life much easier
    Than I had ever planned

    Well, I often go to see him
    And I place a paper dollar
    And a brand new shiny quarter
    On his grave

    And I feel my body shiver
    As a cool breeze from the river
    Blows that paper bill up through the trees
    And far away

    Luther, here's a dollar
    Luther, here's a quarter
    Take either one you want, old man
    Which one will it be

    He lived and died in squalor
    And he still won't take the dollar
    But there's a pile of quarters
    Heaped high on Luther's grave

    Luther, here's a dollar
    Luther, here's a quarter
    Take either one you want, old man
    Which one will it be

    Yes, they'd all hoop and holler
    And he never took the dollar
    He'd take the shiny quarter
    Smile and walk away

    Luther, here's a dollar
    Luther, here's a quarter
    Take either one you want, old man
    Which one will it be

    Then they'd all hoop and holler
    And he never took the dollar ...

    Moonlight Becomes You
    Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen
    Performer(s): Bing Crosby
    and various other artists



    Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair
    You certainly know the right thing to wear
    Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight
    And I could get so romantic tonight
    You're all dressed up to go dreaming
    Now don't tell me I'm wrong
    And what a night to go dreaming
    Mind if I tag along
    If I say I love you
    I want you to know
    It's not just because there's moonlight
    Although, moonlight becomes you so
    You're all dressed up to go dreaming
    Now don't tell me I'm wrong
    And what a night to go dreaming
    Mind if I tag along
    If I say I love you
    I want you to know
    It's not just because there's moonlight
    Although, moonlight becomes you so

    Here comes Johnny Yen again
    With the liquor and drugs

    Of corse I've had it in my ear before
    'Cause of a lust for life

    Drive a G.T.O
    Wear a uniform
    All on a government lone

    Yeah I'm through with sleeping on the
    Sidewalk - no more beating my brains
    No more beating my brains
    With the liquor and drugs

    Itching once you buy the gimmick
    About something called love
    Oh love, love, love
    That's like hypnotizing chickens

    (Sailing through the moonlight, sailing on the bay)

    We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
    We could hear the voices ringing
    They seemed to say
    "You have stolen her heart"
    "Now don't go 'way"
    As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay

    Lush Life
    Composer(s): Billy Strayhorn
    First recording/First release by: Duke Ellington & His Orch. - 1948
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I, I used to visit all these very gay places
    Those come what may places
    Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
    To get a feel of life
    From jazz and cocktails

    The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces
    With distant gay traces
    That used to be there
    You could see where they've been washed away
    By too many through the day
    Twelve o'clock tales

    Then suddenly you came along
    With a siren song
    It tempts me to madness
    I thought for a while that your poignant smile
    Was tinged with the sadness ...
    Of a great love for me
    But, I was wrong
    I was wrong

    Life is lonely again
    And only last week, everything seemed so sure
    Now life is awful again
    A trough full of hearts will probably be a bore, a bore

    A week I might go to Paris
    At least a bite of it
    All, all I want to do is laugh in spite of it

    I'll forget you, I will
    And yet you are still
    Burning inside my brain
    Romance is mush
    And it stifles those who strive
    Well I'll live a lush life in some small dive
    And I, I'll be alright with the rest
    All those whose lives are lonely too

    Moonlight Angel
    Composer(s): Bernd Meinunger; Ralph Siegel
    Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



    She was standing at the seashore in a mystic summer night
    And the silver moon made diamonds out of all the tears she cried
    Though her eyes were filled with sorrow she looked so divine
    So kind of beautiful just like a moonlight angel
    So I asked why she was crying she slowly turned her face
    She whispered softly to me love can hurt a thousand ways
    And for one enchanted moment I was standing helplessly
    Your kisses really put a spell on me

    Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away
    Tell me what’s your heaven earning
    Tell me is your heart still yearning
    For a tender love you left behind
    Oh moonlight angel how could I make you stay
    If you’re tired and lonesome I will hold you tight
    'Cause another heaven is hard to find

    And she whispered I must leave now wait for me I’ll be back soon
    On her face I saw dark shadows cause a black cloud hid the moon
    And I tried to say I love you please don’t go away
    But all the time I knew you can’t catch moonlight angels
    And I saw her disappearing in the darkness of the night
    All I felt was sorrow and a burning pain inside
    When I tried to walk behind her just to find the Promised Land
    There were no footsteps, footsteps in the sand

    Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away
    Tell me what’s your heaven earning
    Tell me is your heart still yearning
    For a tender love you left behind
    Oh moonlight angel gone at the break of day
    Tell me is your heart still yearning
    Deep inside for a never love you left behind
    If you’re tired and lonesome I will hold you tight
    'Cause another heaven is hard to find
