2 Long


2 Long
Composer(s): Robert Chojnacki - Andrzej Piaseczny
First performance by: Piasek - 2001



(How long will I wait for you?)
(How long will you wait for me?)

If you don't get too close, you won't see the joke
Maybe everything looks so cool, maybe I'm just foolin'
When I'm almost out the door, you're still smilin' so
Hey, I am thinking just the same, better if you think again

I've been a faker, yeah, someone who didn't care
And I would never want to be with someone like me
But maybe one more night could make us feel all right
What difference does it make? Tell me

(How long will I wait for you?) Too long for you
(How long will you wait for me?) Oh... too long for me
(How long is too long, yeah?) Too long, yeah
We've been wastin' so much time
Life's too short – it would be a crime

So who's behind the mask? Oh... you don't have to ask
I'll tell you all there is about me, my cards are on the table
And I have really learnt to hide these feelings deep inside
I know the honesty within is nothing when you're cryin'

I've been a faker, yeah, someone who didn't care
And I would never want to be with someone like me
(Be with someone like me)
But maybe one more night could make us feel all right
What difference does it make? Tell me

(How long will I wait for you?) Too long for you
(How long will you wait for me?) Oh... too long for me
(How long is too long, yeah?) Too long, yeah
We've been wastin' so much time
Life's too short – it would be a crime

(How long will I wait for you?)
(How long will you wait for me?)

(How long will I wait for you?) Too long for you
(How long will you wait for me?) Oh yeah, too long for me
(How long is too long, yeah?) Too long, yeah
We've been wastin' so much time
Life's too short, it would be a crime

Heaven Knows


Heaven Knows
Composer(s): Harvey Price; Dan Walsh
Performer(s): The Grass Roots



With a song in my heart
And a chance to be yours forever
I couldn't feel more secure
I know I couldn't feel any better
Oh Lord, Heaven knows
How much I love you and
How much it shows
Oh Lord, Heaven
Heaven knows

Every time we're together
Your love is moving like lightning through me
It's such a beautiful feeling
Never hearing good-bye said to me

Oh Lord, Heaven knows
How much I love you and
How much it shows
Oh Lord, Heaven
Heaven knows

I was living without you
Trying to make it alone
But there is something about you
Now your heart is my home

With a song in my heart
And a chance to be yours forever
I couldn't feel more secure
I know I couldn't feel any better
Oh Lord, Heaven knows
How much I love you and
How much it shows
Oh Lord, Heaven
Heaven knows

Oh Lord, Heaven knows
How much I love you and
How much it shows
Oh Lord, Heaven
Heaven knows

Havana Moon


Havana Moon
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Chuck Berry;
and various other artists



Havana moon, Havana moon
Me all alone with jug of rum
Me stand and wait for boat to come
It's long the night, it's quiet the dock
The boat she late since 12 o'clock
Me watch the tide easin' in
Is low the moon, but high the wind

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me all alone, me open the rum
It's long the wait for boat to come
American girl come back to me
We'll sail away across the sea
We'll dock in New York, the buildings high
We'll find a home up in the sky

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me still alone, me sip on the rum
Me wonder where the boat she come
To bring me love, ow! Sweet little thing
She rock and roll, she dance and sing
She hold me tight, she touch me lips
Me eyes they close, me heart she flip

Havana moon, Havana moon
But still alone, me drinkin' the rum
Begin to think the boat no come
American girl, she tell a lie
She say till then, she mean goodbye

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me lay down alone, was good the rum
Me fall asleep, the boat she come
The girl she look till come the dawn
She weep and cry, "Return for home"
The whistle blow, me open me eyes
Was bright the sun, was blue the sky
Me grab me shoes, me jump and run
Me see the boat head for horizon
Havana moon, is gone the rum
The boat she sail, me love she gone
Havana moon, Havana moon

Speak Low


Speak Low
Composer(s): Ogden Nash - Kurt Weill
First performance by: Mary Martin & Kenny Baker - 1943
Covered by multiple other artists



Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away
Too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift
We're swept apart too soon
Speak low, darling speak low
Love is a spark lost in the dark
Too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
And always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me and soon

Heaven Is My Woman's Love


Heaven Is My Woman's Love
Composer(s): S.K. Dobbins
Performer(s): Tommy Overstreet;
Lee Hazlewood; Val Doonican



Heaven is my woman's love
Gently rising with the sun
She gives me cause to face the day
And brings me joy when day is done

Heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is the way I live
She gives me all the love she can
And then somehow finds more to give

And when I see her in the mornin' light
I feel the same as in the dark of night
She is my everything and I'm proud of
The heaven of my woman's love

Heaven is my woman's love
Gently reaching out for me
All she wants is what I am
Searchin' not for what I'll be

Heaven is my woman's love
Happiness is what she gives
As long as she's with me I'll find
Heaven every day I live

And when I see her in the mornin' light
I feel the same as in the dark of night
She is my everything and I'm proud of
The heaven of my woman's love

Heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love

Heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my woman's love
Heaven is my.........

Háva nagíla, háva nagíla
Háva nagíla, venismechá
Háva nagíla, háva nagíla
Háva nagíla, venismechá
Háva neránena, háva neránena
Háva neránena, venismechá

Bien, bien, je suis si bien que ma joie deviens complète
Près de toi le temps sarrette, dans tes bras je perd la tête
Serre moi jusqu'au jour, danse danse danse mon amour
Dansons car dans les granges le blé se range
C'est le dernier jour des moissons
Dansons sur cette terre fertile et fière
Qui reverra d'autres sillons
Dansons sans plus penser au mal qu'on c'est donné
Pour faire levé ce grain qu'on vendra demain
Dansons cheveux au vent et si de temps en temps
Ton corps serre mon corps juste un peu plus fort

Úru, úru, achím
Úru, achím, belév saméach
Úru, achím, belév saméach
Úru, achím, belév saméach
Úru, achím, belév saméach
Úru, achím

Energy


Energy
Composer(s): Matjaž Vlašic - Urša Vlašic - Lucienne Loncina First performance by: Nuša Derenda - 2001



Energy
Oh, what you do to me
Your rhythm runs right through me
You're my destiny
My whole life is one big fantasy
And yet the closer that I get, you're further away

Energy
I feel such energy
Electric runs right through me
I'm in ecstasy
Your caress, the sweetness on your lips
But the closer that I get, you're drifting away

With every heartbeat, I'm electrified
With just one look
Your body moves me, moves me
If for one second you'd remember me
Then I would break free
From these chains that are wrapped around me

Energy
I feel such energy
Your rhythm runs right through me
I'm in ecstasy
Your caress, the sweetness on your lips
But the closer that I get, you're drifting away

Oh, energy
I feel such energy
Electric runs right through me
You're my destiny, oh...
My whole life is one big fantasy, oh...
And all I am means nothing till you're here with me

Energy

You ride on the swing in and out of the bars
Capturing moments of life in a jar
Playing with children, acting as stars
Guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind
Take extra care not to lose what up feel
The apple you're eating is simple and real
Water the flowers that grow at you heel
guiding your visions to heaven and heaven is in your mind

Haunted River


Haunted River
Composer(s): Brian Setzer
Performer(s): Brian Setzer



With that he cold New England wind
Blowin' through my hair
As my blood and whisky
run through me as one
didn't anybody hear her silent scream
didn't anybody see his twisted grin

All the neighbours wept and cried
By her shallow grave
and her momma prayed the lord her soul to take
and her daddy stood alone he swore revenge
and the haunted river flowed with blood again

Late one night he crossed
The river by himself
The waters surged to reach for him through the night
And the storm raged on and on
on and on and on and on

Everybody wondered what ever happened to
The old reverend Brown who preaches Sunday mess
and the sea turned calm and blue
by the oceans door
and the haunted river flowed with blood no more

Haunted House


Haunted House
Performer(s): Gene Simmons



Just moved in my new house today
Movin' was hard but I got squared away
Bells started ringin' and chains rattled loud
I knew I moved in a haunted house

Still I made up my mind to stay
Nothin' was a-gonna drive me away
When I seen somthin' that give me the creeps
Had one big eye and-a two big feet

I stood right still and I did the freeze
He did just stroll right up to me
Made a noise with his feet that sound like a drum
Said "You be here when the mornin' comes?"

Say yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house and you know I'm boss
Ain't no haint gonna run me off

In my kitchen my stove was a-blazin' hot
Coffee was a-boilin' in the pot
The grease had melted in the pan
Had a hunk a-meat right in my hand

From outer space there sat a man
On the hot stove with the pots and pans
"Say that's hot I began to shout"
He drank a-hot coffee right from the spout

He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the frying pan
Looked at me said "You better run"
"And don't be here when the mornin' comes"

Say, yes I'll be here when the mornin' comes
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house and you know I'm boss
Ain't no ain't gonna run me off

No Dream Impossible


No Dream Impossible
Composer(s): Russ Ballard - Chris Winter
First performance by: Lindsay - 2001



No dream impossible
No dream impossible

No dream, no dream
(Be strong, on and on)
(Keep pushing, on and on)
(Be strong, on and on)
(Keep pushing, holding on)

We look for the highest
We follow the straightest road
We danced with the angels
Where heaven touches the end of the world

We look to the future
We reach for eternity
There in the distance
Everything was so clear to me

If we keep holding on
Have faith in ourselves
Be strong, be free

No dream impossible
No dream impossible
As long as you're living with hope in your heart
In dreams we're untouchable
Forever invincible
If you believe with love in your heart
There's no dream impossible

(Hey you, have you got a dream?)
(When you wake in the day)
(Is it as bad as it seemed in the night?)
Have you got a dream in ya heart?
(When you're fighting for your life) hold on
(Lotta strife) ooh yeah
(Don't give up, when things gettin' tough)
(The city is a jungle and the strong survive)
Gotta be strong, keep holding on

(Keep on, holding on) keep strong
(Keep pushing, on and on) you're alive
(Keep on, holding on)
You're alive...

No dream impossible
No dream impossible
As long as you're livin' with hope in your heart
(You've got to have hope in your heart)

In dreams we're untouchable
(In dreams we're untouchable)
Forever invincible
If you believe with love in your heart
There's no dream impossible
(Keep on, holding on)
(Keep pushing, on and on)
There's no dream impossible

Heaven Is A Place On Earth


Heaven Is A Place On Earth
Composer(s): Rick Nowels; Ellen Shipley
Performer(s): Belinda Carlisle;
and various other artists



When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world’s alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we’re spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I’m lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we’re just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I’m not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

Haunted Heart


Haunted Heart
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Susannah McCorkle; and various other artists



In the night, though we're apart
There's a ghost of you within my haunted heart
Ghost of you, my lost romance...
Lips that kiss, eyes that dance

Haunted heart won't let me be
Dreams repeat a sweet and lonely song to me
Dreams are dust; it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart

Be still, my haunted heart

Time rolls on, trying in vain to cure me
You are gone, yet you remain to allure me
You're there in the dark, and I call
You're there, but you're not there at all

Oh, what will I do without you, without you?
Haunted heart won't set me free
Dreams repeat a sweet and lonely song to me
Dreams are dust; it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart
Be still, my haunted heart

Sparrow


Sparrow
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Simon & Garfunkel - 1964



Who will love a little sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree
"I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest
And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast"

Who will love a little sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan
"The entire idea is utterly absurd
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swans heard"

Who will take pity in his heart
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat
"I would if I could but I cannot I know
I need all my grain to prosper and grow"

Who will love a little sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth
"For all I've created returns unto me
From dust ye made and dust ye shall be"

Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away


Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
Paul Johnson; Ann Nesby; Richard Page



They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if there is a God, we need Him now
"Where is your God"
That's what my friends ask me
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...

Tell me people
Why can't they say that hate is 10 zillion light years away
Why can't the light of good shine God's love in every soul
Why must my color black make me a lesser man
I thought this world was made for every man
He loves us all, that's what my God tells me
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...

But in my heart I can feel it, yeah,
Feel His spirit wow oh woo...
Feel it, yeah, feel His spirit...

I... can't say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if so let all be pure at heart
Just to walk her righteous streets I pray
Let God's love shine within to save our evil souls
For those who don't believe will never see the light
"Where is my God" - He lives inside of me
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...
No people, "where is your God?"
Inside please let Him be
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...

But if you open your heart you can feel it yeah yeah
Feel His spirit, yeah
Feel it, feel His spirit, wow oh wow...
Feel it, you can feel His spirit
I opened my heart one morning and
I sho nuff could feel it yeah yeah
Feel His spirit yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit

Performer(s): Lighthouse



Walkin' down by the river
Hangin' down my head
I chanced to stop for a moment
A stranger beckoned and then he said

"Walk down the road of life, a-happy as can be
But not so happy, yeah, that you can't see
Be very careful, mm-hmm, everywhere you go
Take it very slow"

Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows
I said, Lord, I here ya
And I'm walkin' slow
Just a singin' Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin' grow-ow-ow-ow

Walkin' down by the river
His words warmin' up my soul
He called to me from the other side
"There's one more thing ya gotta know, yeah"

"Nobody's perfect, boy, not me or you
It doesn't matter what you say or do
But you could be singin', yeah, a better tune
Singin' whoa-oh-oh"

"Yeah, all the things that I have said
You've probably heard them all before
But the way that you'll hear them from me
Is like you never heard them before"

Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows

And I'm walkin' slow, yeah
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows

Je N'ai Que Mon Âme


Je N'ai Que Mon Âme
Composer(s): J. Kapler
First performance by: Natasha St. Pier - 2001



Puisqu'il faut dire, puisqu'il faut parler de soi
Puisque ton coeur ne brûle plus comme autrefois
Même si l'amour, je crois, ne se dit pas
Mais puisqu'il faut parler alors écoute-moi

Mais je n'ai que mon âme
Pour te parler de moi
Oh juste mon âme
Mon âme et ma voix
Si fragiles flammes
Au bout de mes doigts
Dérisoires armes
Pour parler de moi

Même si tu dis que je fais partie de toi
Que notre histoire nous suivra pas à pas
Je sais tellement que l'amour a ses lois
S'il faut le sauver alors écoute-moi

Mais je n'ai que mon âme
Pour te parler de moi
Oh juste mon âme
Mon âme et ma voix
Et mon corps qui s'enflamme
Au son de ta voix
Je ne suis qu'une femme
Qui t'aime tout bas

Mais que Dieu me damne
Si j'oublie ma voie
Que la vie me condamne
Si tu n'es plus ma loi
Et s'éteint cette flamme
Qui brûle pour toi
Je n'ai que mon âme
Pour parler de moi
Je n'ai que mon âme
Pour parler de moi

Each time you smile at me, my darling
There’s heaven in your smile for me
