Best Of My Love Composer(s): Don Henley - Glenn Frey - J.D. Souther First release by: Eagles - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Every night I'm lyin' in bed holdin' you close in my dreams thinkin' about all the things that we said and comin' apart at the seams We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud empty places look at the way that we live Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above but here in my heart I give you the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you get the best of my love You Get The Best Of My Love O-O- Sweet Darlino-Oh' You get the best of my love You Get The Best Of My Love
I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream it was a quiet night and I would be alright if I could go on sleeping
But every mornin' I wake up and worry what's gonna happen today You see it your way and I see it mine but we both see it slippin' away You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-OH Sweet Darlin' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm You get the best of my love (The best of my love) O-O-O-Oh Sweet Darlin' you got it You get the best of my love...
Canción A Mi Padre Composer(s): Sacramento Ramirez Performer(s): Los Razos
A mi ser que más quiero en mi vida yo le quiero cantar mi canción A mi padre que me dió mi vida y diario el me da su bendición y le pide a mi Dios que me cuide dónde quiera que siempre yo voy
A ti padre te doy yo las gracias que me hiciste un hombre de bien con tu ejemplo y buenos consejos yo mi vida logré componer Hoy yo me siento de ti orgulloso y en los vicios no vulevo a caer
A mi madre ya no la tenemos Dios la quiso tener a su lado pero siento que allá en el cielo nos bendice a mi y a mis hermanos y a ti padre te manda la calma pa' que siempre estes a nustro lado
Hoy me siento un poquito triste por que un beso no te puedo dar 'toy tan lejos papá de la casa que hay momentos que quiero llorar yo quisiera tenerte a mi lado y en mis brazos poderte estrechar
Dios te pido que cuides mi padre porqué yo quiero volverlo a ver solo Tu puedes darme licencia de estar juntos de nuevo otra vez también quiero mirar mis hermanos y a mis hijos que son mi querer
Yo te pido mi padre querido que siempre me des tu bendición y le pidas a mi madrecita que me cuide 'onde quiera que voy que me guié por el mejor camino y me cuide de alguna traición
En la sombra de un rosal y escondida entre las ramas estaba la niña esperando mi llegada y la brisa del mar acrecentó su nostalgia y el canto de la cigarra le anunció que llegaba
Y en el vientre presintió que la semilla palpitaba y su fatiga se posó en el lecho de unas ramas y un jilguero le contó que la espera no es larga que cuando llega un hijo nace la esperanza
Y la espera se marchitó una mañana de Febrero y la savia se quedó en el fruto del madero y la niña comprendió que ya no tenía miedo y su vientre dio una flor y mi voz quedó en el viento

The Best Man Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Fred Wise Performer(s): Nat King Cole
I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks 'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me
She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy
But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins The way it all turned out, there was no doubt That I was best man in the end Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend
She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy
So don't you think you're best til you pass the test And you know all the ladies' tricks 'Cause you'll wind up as the best man While the other guy gets the chicks
Canção Da América
Composer(s): Fernando Brant - Milton Nascimento
Performer(s): Milton Nascimento
and multiple other artists
Amigo é coisa para se guardar Debaixo de 7 chaves Dentro do coração assim falava a canção que na América ouvi mas quem cantava chorou ao ver o seu amigo partir mas quem ficou, no pensamento voou o seu canto que o outro lembrou E quem voou no pensamento ficou uma lembrança que o outro cantou Amigo é coisa para se guardar No lado esquerdo do peito mesmo que o tempo e a distância digam não mesmo esquecendo a canção O que importa é ouvir a voz que vem do coração Seja o que vier venha o que vier Qualquer dia amigo eu volto pra te encontrar Qualquer dia amigo, a gente vai se encontrar
Aproveito pra agradecer à meus amigos Eline taisa Smili, Rafa....... E dizer que Danilo vc sempre vai ser meu amigo.........
Feather Your Nest Composer(s): Al Kendis; James Brockman; Howard Johnson Performer(s): Bob Crosby; Bob Cats; Les Brown; Henry Burr; Albert Campbell
Oh sweetheart mine, it's wedding time The whole world seems to say The summer days are fading Into loveland let us stray Birds sing merrily High up in each tree And, sweetheart, they sing messages Just for you and me
Your heart is beating peacefully When friends are fond and true The world is filled with gladness When the one you love loves you Mountains or the sea over we may roam The path that leands to love, sweet love Leads to home sweet home
The birds are humming, "go feather your nest" Tomorrow's coming so feather your nest It's time for mating, no use hesitating The parson is waiting, he knows just whether it's best In a home for two, love, together we'll rest Where only true love, can weather the test Don't be delaying, the organ is playing The whole world is saying, "Go feather your nest"
The Best Is Yet To Come Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh - Cy Coleman First recording/First release by: Tony Bennett - 1960/1961 Covered by multiple other artists
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb You came along and everything started to hum Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come and won't that be fine You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up's underway Wait till out lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and won't that be fine The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine
From the day that your mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I hold you near Wait till you see that sunshine place There ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine
Down on an isle where palm trees sway There's where I'll while my time away I hear it calling me From way out in the sea That's just the reason why I say
The balmy air just breathes perfume And maidens dance 'neath tropic moon Romance is everywhere There's not a thought or care Nothing can get me there too soon
Canary Isle where birds are singing My fairy land, I'm going there A little while, and I'll be bringing A song of love, to my lady fair (Music will fill the air) And while we're crooning, a long in tune Beneath the bright stars and silv'ry moon You'll hear my song I'll see your smile Then I'll belong In Canary Isle
Fearless Composer(s): Gary Nicholson; Wally Wilson; Brian Stoltz Performer(s): The Neville Brothers
I took a walk along the sea Lost in thoughts of you and me Just like the moon, turning the tide I feel a pull from so deep inside
So many questions haunting us So many doubts attacked our love Dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong Against the odds, we must carry on We must be strong and fearless We must be fearless
Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless, fearless, fearless
For so long I was afraid To step from the shadows of my mistakes Your love has given me the courage I need Together I know, nothing can stop you and me If we are fearless We must be fearless
Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless We must be fearless
We must stand in the light, willing to fight Whatever may come betwen us and be fearless We must be fearless
Counting on help from above Trusting the power of love We must be fearless, fearless, fearless
The Best Days Of My Life Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Jim Cregan Performer(s): Rod Stewart
You always said living with me was impossible Try it I said just like the wind I'm changeable We ain't got money but we sure got laughs lots of loving too So I confess on my behalf you're giving me honestly the best days of my life
Your whispering girls said don't be a fool don't give into him He's an animal treat you like dirt then he'll turn you in You two are not compatible It'll never never last They said I wasn't even suitable But you're giving me honestly the best days of my life
Sometimes I wonder why does she bother with me at all So staid in my ways Let's face it my dear, I'm insufferable
The crazy nights spilling into days with all my noisy friends But they all love you as much as I Giving me constantly the best days of my life And a day without you at this point my dear seems unthinkable A night without you more often than not is unbearable
But if it all can't work out one can never never tell In my heart there is no doubt you gave to me unselfishly the best days of my life
But if it all can't work out one can never never tell
Hello canary bird, this is a letter home Hello canary bird, this is a letter home Well you know I want you to fly the whole world over And find how my baby been gettin' along
Well canary bird, when you get to Clarksdale Please fly down on Second Street Yes canary bird when you get to Clarksdale Please fly down on Second Street Well you know I don't want you to stop flyin' Until you take the letter out to Stovall for me
Fly on, canary bird, fly on!
On your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while Yes on your way back home, please stop by Memphis a while Well canary bird I want you to stroll down Beale Street And see can you see my little old angel child

De hemel vol sterren en de maan ontwaakt Het leven in nachtblauw Schaduwen teken de wereld opnieuw Een wereld in nachtblauw Nachtblauw Wat verder in de buurt merk ik hoe jij ook door het raam staart Er zijn geen woorden nodig want ik weet Wat in jou omgaat, net als bij mij
Jij bent ook zo passioneel En al je zorgen verdwijnen Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw 't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw Als het kon sliepen wij nooit
'k Slenter door straten als ik jou wil ontmoeten Wat ook jij houdt van nachtblauw Hoog aan de hemel vliegt een vliegtuig voorbij En het is zo dichtbij Nachtblauw En als het even kon, dan zouden wij dat vliegtuig volgen We vlogen dan van nacht naar nacht en voelden ons geborgen Dicht bij elkaar
Jij bent ook zo passioneel En al je zorgen verdwijnen Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw 't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw Als het kon sliepen wij nooit
Er zijn geen woorden nodig want ik weet wat in jou omgaat Ook jij komt weer tot leven als het nachtblauw in de nacht Jouw ogen bereikt
Jij bent ook zo passioneel En al je zorgen verdwijnen Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw 't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw Als het kon sliepen wij nooit
Canadian Sunset
Composer(s): Eddie Heywood
First release by: Hugo Winterhalter And His Orch. with Eddie Heywood - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Once I was alone So lonely and then You came, out of nowhere Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold was the wind Warm, warm were your lips Out there, on that ski trail Where your kiss filled me with thrills
A weekend in Canada, a change of scene Was the most I bargained for And then I discovered you and in your eyes I found the love that I couldn't ignore
Down, down came the sun Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart I knew when the sun set From that day, we'd never ever part
F.D.R. Jones Composer(s): Harold Rome Performer(s): Judy Garland; and various other artists
I hear tell there's a stranger in the Jones' household (Yes siree, yes siree) That's what I am told I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old (Yes siree, yes siree) Worth his weight in gold Come right in and meet the son Christening's done, time to have some fun (Yes Siree, yes siree) yes siree-e-e-e (Yes siree, yes siree-e)
It's a big holiday everywhere For the Jones Family has a brand new heir He's a joy heaven sent, and we proudly present Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
When he grows up he never will stray With a name like the one that he got today When he walks down the street Folks will say "pleased to meet Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"
What a smile, and how he shows it He'll be happy all day long What a name, I bet he knows it With that handle how can he go wrong
And the folks in the town all agree He'll be famous, as famous as he can be How can he be a dud Or a stick-in-the-mud When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
Go to sleep my baby, and maybe You'll balance the budget by and by Oh you're a lucky baby With Franklin D. for your name Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident Give him a fishing rod for a toy He's the future president When this rascal goes to school ABCs wont matter Teach him plain old `rithmetic And of course the fire side chatter My friends, my friends, let's all shout "Hooray"
We'll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term Just you wait and see, he'll make history `Cause he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones
The Best ((Dutch Version: De Beste (Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1998)) Composer(s): Holly Knight - Mike Chapman First release by: Bonnie Tyler - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists
I call you when I need you And my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me Wild and wired You come to me, give me everything I need
You bring a lifetime of promises And a world of dreams You speak the language of love Like you know what it means And it can't be wrong Take my heart and make it strong
'Cause you're simply the best Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I ever met I'm stuck on your heart I hang on every word you said Tear us apart Baby I would rather be dead
Deep in your heart I see the start Of every night and every day And in your eyes I get lost I get washed away Just as long as I'm here in your arms I could be in no better place 'Cause you're simply the best
Canadian Railroad Trilogy
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1967
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
But time has no beginnings and hist'ry has no bounds As to this verdant country they came from all around They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall Built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all
And when the young man's fancy was turnin' in the spring The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day And many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay
For they looked in the future and what did they see They saw an iron road runnin' from sea to the sea Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land All up through the seaports and into their hands
Look away said they across this mighty land From the eastern shore to the western strand Bring in the workers and bring up the rails We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails Open 'er heart let the life blood flow Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails Open 'er heart let the life blood flow Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow Get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow
Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin' The stars, they come stealin' at the close of the day Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away
We are the navvies who work upon the railway Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey Bendin' our old backs 'til the long days are done
We are the navvies who work upon the railway Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges Bendin' our old backs 'til the railroad is done
So over the mountains and over the plains Into the muskeg and into the rain Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down Away to the bunkhouse and into the town A dollar a day and a place for my head A drink to the livin' and a toast to the dead
Oh the song of the future has been sung All the battles have been won O'er the mountain tops we stand All the world at our command We have opened up the soil With our teardrops and our toil
For there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real When the green dark forest was too silent to be real And many are the dead men too silent to be real
