There Is Always One More Time Composer(s): Doc Pomus Performer(s): B.B. King; Harry Connick Jr.; Johnny Adams
If your whole life somehow Wasn't much 'til now And you've almost lost Your will to live No matter what you've been through Long as there's breath in you There is always one more time
And if your dreams go bad Every one that you've had That don't mean that some dreams Can't come true 'Cause it's funny about dreams As strange as it seems There is always one more time
Oh turnin' corners Is only a state of mind Keeping your eyes closed Is worse than being blind
If there's a heart out there Looking for someone to share I don't care if it's been Turned down time and time again And if we meet one day Please don't walk away 'Cause there is always one more time There is always one more time
Constitucion De Noche Composer(s): Adrián Abonizio Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
La noche en Constitución tiene un aire particular la lleva la brisa del rio la trae los autos al clarear Nunca andes solo por ahi que te roban el corazón las brujas del trafico pintarrajeadas con algo tan oscuro Y hay quien ve la luna como por primera vez enganchada en un cartel que dice: "No habra mas penas" Enganchada en un cartel que dice: "No habra mas penas" La botella calma su bolor de Santiago bajo y bajo lustro tan tiempo que si pagaran por metro el tendria un continente de cuero Como la capa de un torero roja y roja es Constitución la viven gastandio las balas del diablo la sangre del alcohol Y hay quien ve la luna ... Enganchada en un cartel que dice: "Siganme"
Royal Garden Blues Composer(s): Clarence Williams; Spencer Williams Performer(s): Louis Armstrong
A Section: No use of talkin' no use of talkin' You'll start in dog-walkin' no matter where There's jazz-copation blues modulation Just like a Haitian you'll rip and tear Most everybody likes the blues
Here's why I'm ravin', here's why I'm ravin' If it's blues you are cravin' just come on down You'll hear 'em playin', you'll hear 'em playin' Soon you'll be sayin', "Hon jazz me 'round" Because your feet they can't refuse
B Section: What's that familiar strain that true blue note refrain It's drivin' me insane Can't keep still Tho it's against my will I'm on my P's and Q's I just can't refuse
There goes that melody, it sounds so good to me And I am up a tree It's a shame, you don't know the name It's a brand new blues The Royal Garden Blues
Interlude: Everybody Grab somebody And start jazzing 'round
C Section: Hon don't you hear that trombone moan? Just listen to that saxophone Gee, hear that clarinet and flute Cornet jazzin' with a mute Makes me just throw myself away When I hear 'em play
That weepin' melancholy strain Say, but it's soothing to the brain Just wanna get right up and dance Don't care I'll take most any chance No other blues I'd care to choose But Royal Garden Blues
There is a tavern in the town, in the town And there my true love sits him down, sits him down And drinks his wine as merry as can be And never, never thinks of me
Fare thee well, for I must leave thee Do not let this parting grieve thee And remember that the best of friends Must part, must part
Adieu, adieu kind friends, yes, adieu I can no longer stay with you, stay with you I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree And may the world go well with thee
He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark Each Friday night they used to spark Used to spark And now my love who once was true to me Takes this dark damsel on his knee
And now I see him nevermore, nevermore He never knocks upon my door, on my door Oh, woe is me; he pinned a little note And these were all the words he wrote
Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove To signify I died of love
Constantly Composer(s): Michael Julien; Saverio Seracini Performer(s): Cliff Richard
All day I'm walking in a dream I think about you constantly Just like an ever flowing stream Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind So you're no longer near to me But my heart sees you there with me Every sunset you share with me
The rain that patters through the trees reminds me of you constantly Your name is whispered by the breeze and love birds bring your song to me
Just as sure as the stars keep burning in the sky your love will stay a flame in me A flame that burns so bright not only through the night but constantly
Just as sure as each star keeps burning in the sky your love will stay a flame in me A flame that burns so bright not only through the night but constantly
Though we may be far apart You're constantly deep in my heart
Roxanne Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): The Police
Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light Those days are over You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne You don't have to wear that dress tonight Walk the streets for money You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne
I loved you since I knew you I wouldn't talk down to you I have you to tell just how I feel I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up So put away your make up Told you once I won't tell you again It's a bad way
Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light Roxanne You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne (Put on the red light) Roxanne (Put on the red light)
There is a new moon over my shoulder And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I am older What you told me the day we had to part You promised with the new moon you would be coming back to me Many moons have passed, still I am waiting patiently
There is a new moon over my shoulder And an old love still in my heart There is a new moon over my shoulder And an old love still in my heart
Now I am wishing I had been bolder, then perhaps we would'nt be so far apart You promised you will write to me, but so forth not a line Still I am waiting pariently that someday you will be mine
There is a new moon over my shoulder And an old love still in my heart
Conscience Where Were You (When I Needed You Last Night)
Conscience Where Were You (When I Needed You Last Night) Composer(s): Warren Robb - Sanger D. Shafer Performer(s): Moe Bandy
You came to me this mornin', several hours late I looked for you last night, she would not wait You tell me I've been cheatin', your voice cuts like a knife But conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Her lips held on like honey, her eyes were secret blue While you were gone my arms were so untrue I started once to leave her, but her skin was all night white Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Conscience, where were you when passion started pushing Where were you when she came on just right You know I love my woman, I'd never make her cry Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
I started once to leave her, but her skin was all night white Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night Conscience, where were you when I needed you last night
Row, Row, Row Your Boat (aka The Old Log Hut) Composer(s): R. Sinclair - Eliphalet Oram Lyte
Down by the river, the old log hut stands Where Mamma and Daddy once dwelt And the old oak latch that was worn by the hands And the church where in prayer they knelt
Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream For all that is past is over, you know And the future is but a dream
Time and its rapid remorseless plan Has furrowed our brows with care And the icy touch of its withered hand Has slivered our locks of hair
Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream For all that is past is over, you know And the future is but a dream
Our children have grown and have children of their own I hear their voices echo still And the old rocking horse sits quiet on the porch As we listen to the wishful whippoorwill
Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream For all that is past is over, you know And the future is but a dream
Tall grass is growing over the master's grave But the river keeps rolling on And the birds and the bees from the blossoms and the trees Keep singing this same old song
Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream For all that is past is over, you know And the future is but a dream
For all that is past is over, you know And the future is but a dream

Conscience Point Composer(s): Billy Squier Performer(s): Billy Squier
Freedom rider...though youve tried Words are not enough for you now... Its hard on your pride I cant find you...though I know you You are just a step out of line... Come closer to me
When the lines are drawn And no one comes to break us down And the walls that stood between us Tumble to the ground Its time to find someone to run to
Ive got a place in mind Its known as conscience point Its where the clouds roll by They say that nothin really matters Im goin out to find Why people come this way And put the past behind You know there really is a reason
Changing faces...trading places Nothing lasts anymore...its hard when you try Star-crossed lovers run for cover I dont know if its right...but I know how I feel
When youre tired of all those things You never said before And although youve tried you never opened that door Its time to find someone to run to
Well run the roads tonite Well meet at conscience point I look into your eyes You say that nothin really matters If I could change your mind If you would look my way And leave it all behind Youd know you really mean so much to me
When youve tired of all those things Youve never done before And you never took the time To fall in love before Youve got to find someone to...yea
Well run the roads tonite Well meet at conscience point Ill look into your eyes And know that somethin really matters cause we can change our minds And we can find our way And leave it all behind cause you really mean that much to me
Conscience point...take a walk with me And put it all behind Well make some history

Young Johnny Jones he had a cute little boat And all the girlies he would take for a float He had girlies on the shore Sweet little peaches by the score But master Johnny was a wis'un, you know His steady girl was Flo And every Sunday afternoon She'd jump in his boat And they would spoon

Conquistador Composer(s): Gary Brooker - Keith Reid First release by: Procol Harum - 1967
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company And like some angel's haloed brow You reek of purity I see your armor plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed And though your jewel-encrusted blade Has not been plundered still The sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect And though I came to jeer at you I leave now with regret And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all Though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind
And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind

There He Goes Composer(s): Eddie Miller - Durwood Haddock - W.S. Stevenson Performer(s): Patsy Cline
There he goes, he's walkin' away Each step he takes brings heartaches my way She won his heart, I lost him someway There he goes, he's walkin' away
If I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied I'd be the one, walkin' by his side I love him still and I guess that it shows He's walkin' away, there he goes
Oh, if I hadn't cheated and I hadn't lied I'd be the one walkin' by his side I love him still and I guess that is shows He's walkin' away, there he goes
