The Best Of Times
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
First performance by: George Hearn & Elizabeth Parrish - 1983



The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, 
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times 
Is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, 
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times 
Is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, 
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times 
Is now, is now, is now

Now, not some forgotten yesterday
Now, tomorrow is too far away
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times
Is now, is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, 
Who knows, who knows, who knows?
So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times 
Is now, is now, is now

La, la, la...

Canción Consumo
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Desde Santurce A Bilbao Blues Band



Rezan las leyes básicas
de una curiosa estética
que el hombre es una máquina
consumidora intrépida
Compre electrodomésticos
dicen los nuevos místicos
es el gran signo de éxito
del "homo sapientísimo"

Producto, consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción
canción, canción... consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción

Queda un último término
lo del salario mínimo
con el Madrid-Atlético
y el juego quinielístico
La corrida benéfica
hoy televisan íntegra
es la moderna técnica
de crear alienígenas

Producto, consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción
canción, canción... consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción

Este mensaje estúpido
tan saturado en tópicos
hay que venderlo al público
como un jabón biológico
así dispone el código
mafioso-discográfico
y así se explota al prójimo
prójimo y primo práctico

Producto, consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción
canción, canción... consumo
éste es el triste tema de esta canción

Federico Garcia Lorca
Composer(s): Jean Ferrat; C.H. Vic
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat



Les guitares jouent des sérénades
Que j'entends sonner comme un tocsin
Mais jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade
"Bien que j'en sache le chemin"

Dans ta voix
Galopaient des cavaliers
Et les gitans étonnés
Levaient leurs yeux de bronze et d'or
Si ta voix se brisa
Voilà plus de vingt ans qu'elle résonne encore
Federico García

Voilà plus de vingt ans, Camarades
Que la nuit règne sur Grenade

Il n'y a plus de prince dans la ville
Pour rêver tout haut
Depuis le jour où la guardia civil
T'a mis au cachot

Et ton sang tiède en quête de l'aurore
S'apprête déjà
J'entends monter par de longs corridors
Le bruit de leurs pas

Et voici la porte grande ouverte
On t'entraîne par les rues désertées
Ah! Laissez-moi le temps de connaître
Ce que ma mère m'a donné

Mais déjà
Face au mur blanc de la nuit
Tes yeux voient dans un éclair
Les champs d'oliviers endormis
Et ne se ferment pas
Devant l'âcre lueur éclatant des fusils
Federico García

Les lauriers ont pâli, Camarades
Le jour se lève sur Grenade

Dure est la pierre et froide la campagne
Garde les yeux clos
De noirs taureaux font mugir la montagne
Garde les yeux clos

Et vous Gitans, serrez bien vos compagnes
Au creux des lits chauds
Ton sang inonde la terre d'Espagne
O Federico

Les guitares jouent des sérénades
Dont les voix se brisent au matin
Non, jamais je n'atteindrai Grenade
"Bien que j'en sache le chemin"

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

Febrero 8
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



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 Of Everything
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Alfred Newman
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
and multiple other artists



The best of everything - that’s (that is) what I wish you all
The best of everything - a rembrandt (hanging) on your (the) wall

A yacht that wins you cups
Skateboards with style and speed
Show dogs or loving pups
The pride of the pound or the pedigreed

I hope you win that prize - pass that blue ribbon test
I hope your good keeps getting better - ’til your better’s best

With every wine you taste
With every song you sing
By now you may have guest
I hope you get the best of everything 

Canção De Pedroca
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Quando nos apaixonamos
Poça d'água é chafariz
Ao olhar o céu de Ramos
Vê-se as luzes de Paris

No verão é uma delícia
A brisa fresca de Bangu
Mesmo um cabo de polícia
Só nos diz merci beaucoup

Eu ouço um samba de breque
Com Maurice Chevalier
Bebo com Toulouse Lautrec
No bar do Caxinguelê

Daí ninguém mais estranha
O Louvre na Praça Mauá
E o borbulhar de champanha
Num gole de guaraná

Cascadura é Rive Gauche
O Mangue é Champs Elisées
Até mesmo um bate-coxa
Faz lembrar um pas-de-deux
Purê de batata roxa
Parece marron glacé

Walking here from beyonder
Just to see (Just to see the right road)
Just to see
You know I don't wanna leave here

Finding you this way
As the breezes blow (As the breezes blow)

I got that funny feeling (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
Now you made it mine (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
You look so overjoyed (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
Now it's doing fine (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
Grow a little gun (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)
And feathers from your tree (ba-da-ba-da-da-da)

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

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 

Canary Isle
Performer(s): Ben Schwartz



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
Well you know I want you to fly the whole world over

Fearfully In Danger
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



On a dusty road you sit
Fearfully in danger
The intentions of my attitude
Have mastered the adventure

You'll be placed in harmony
A degree of anger
You have landed painfully
Fearfully in danger

In a state of trance
You may come and dance
You may sing the void for me

Constantly cold with fear
I know that I do not need you here

Does it fit your fears
Does it suit your face

No, you cannot grasp
The phase

Fearfully in danger
Fearfully in danger

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
