Spring


Spring
Composer(s): John Denver - Dick Kniss - Mike Taylor
Performer(s): John Denver



Open up your eyes and see the brand new day
A clear blue sky and brighty shining sun
Open up your ears and hear the breezes say
Everything that's cold and gray is gone
Open up your hands and feel the rain come on down
Taste the wind and smell the flowers' sweet perfume
Open up your mind and let the light shine in
The earth has been reborn and life goes on
And do you care what's happening around you
Do your senses know the changes when they come
Can you see yourself reflected in the seasons
Can you understand the need to carry on
Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see
So many ways and oh, so many things
Rejoicing the differences, there's no one just like me
Yet as different as we are we're still the same
And oh, I love the life within me
I feel a part of everything I see
And oh, I love the life around me
A part of everything is here in me
A part of everything is here in me
A part of everything is here in me

Help Me Climb That Mountain


Help Me Climb That Mountain
Composer(s): Lynn Morris
Performer(s): Lynn Morris



I only know you well enough
To call you by your name
I don't know the way
To stop these tremblin' hands
Please, take me in your arms, Lord
And hold me for a while
I'm so tired, and want so much to understand

Help me climb that mountain
I've been blind for way too long
Cleanse me in your fountain
Lord, I know that I've been wrong
I'm calling on you now, Lord
Please hear my song
Help me climb that mountain
And I'll be home before too long

Oh, the trials and the heartaches
They don't matter any more
And the price has never been
Too great to pay
But if the road grows steeper
I won't make it on my own
I'll be lost among the fools along the way

Help me climb that mountain
I've been blind for way too long
Cleanse me in your fountain
Lord, I know that I've been wrong
I'm calling on you now, Lord
Please hear my song
Help me climb that mountain
And I'll be home before too long

Help me climb that mountain
And I'll be home before too long

One More Night (Esther Hart)


One More Night
Composer(s): Tjeerd van Zanen - Alan Michael
First performance by: Esther Hart - 2003



One more night

There's a fire that burns within us
A flame that never dies
Like a river that runs right through me
A river, old and wise

A power that can't be stopped, oh no
If you're with the one you love
You'll never rise above
Being with the one you love

Give me one more night, give me one more day
And now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Well, let me hold you now and please stay, one more night

There's a bright light that shines upon us
A light as old as time
And there's a flower that keeps on growing
As long as we two rhyme

A power that can't be stopped, oh no
If you're with the one you love
(If you're with the one you love)
You'll never rise above
Being with the one you love

Give me one more night, give me one more day
And now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Well, let me hold you now and please stay, one more night

Take my hand and I will lead the way
We're all in need of a brighter day, yeah
Take a stand and it'll be okay
You're all I need, so don't delay
Come here and say, you're gonna stay

One more night, give me one more day
And now and forever, baby come what may

Give me one more night, give me one more day
Now and forever, baby come what may
Give me one more night, give me one more day
Well, let me hold you now and please stay, yeah...

(One more night, give me one more day)
(Now and forever, baby come what may)

Give me one more night, give me one more day
Well, let me hold you now
(Let me hold you now)
Please stay, one more night

Help Me


Help Me
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Help me
I think I'm falling
In love again
When I get that crazy feeling, I know
I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler and a gambler
And a sweet-taIking-ladies man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some hot hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ash
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom
Didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
That's such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom

Spread A Little Happiness


Spread A Little Happiness
Performer(s): Sting



Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try

What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true

Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

I've got a creed for every need
So easy that it must succeed
I'll set it down for you to read
So please, take heed
Keep out the gloom
Let in the sun
That's my advice for everyone
It's only once we pass this way
So day by day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by
Please try

What's the use of worrying and feeling blue
When days are long keep on smiling through
Spread a little happiness till dreams come true

Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

Surely you'll be wise to make the best of every blues day
Don't you realize you'll find next Monday or next Tuesday
Your golden shoes day

Even when the darkest clouds are in the sky
You mustn't sigh and you mustn't cry
Spread a little happiness as you go by

Help Is On Its Way


Help Is On Its Way
Composer(s): Glenn Shorrock
Performer(s): Little River Band;
and various other artists



Why are you in so such hurry?
Is it really worth the worry?
Look around, then slow down
What's it like inside the bubble?
Does your head ever give you trouble?
It's no sin, trade it in

(Chorus)

Hang on, help is on its way
I'll be there as fast as I can
"Hang on", a tiny voice did say
From somewhere deep inside the inner man

Are you always in confusion?
Surrounded by illusion?
Sort it out, you'll make out
Seem to make a good beginning
Someone else ends up winning
Don't seem fair, don't you care?

(Chorus)

Don't you forget who'll take care of you
It don't matter what you do
Form a duet, let him sing melody, you'll provide the harmony

Why are you in so such hurry?
Is it really worth the worry?
Look around, then slow down
What's it like inside the bubble?
Does your head ever give you trouble?
It's no sin, trade it in

(Chorus)

Hello, Young Lovers


Hello, Young Lovers
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney;
and various other artists



When I think of Tom
I think about a night
When the earth smelled of summer
And the sky was streaked with white
And the soft mist of England
was sleeping on a hill

I remember this
And I always will
There are new lovers now
on the same silent hill
Looking on the same blue sea
And I know Tom and I
are a part of them all
And they're all a part of Tom and me

Hello Young lovers whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And to fly down a street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet not realy by chance

Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my mem'ries happy tonight
I've had a love of my own
I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own

All American Husband


All American Husband
Composer(s): Julie Ann Beisbier
Performer(s): Peggy Sue



There's a girl in a miniskirt walkin' down the street
He acts like he don't notice, but he ain't a-foolin' me
He'll look down at her ankles, then he'll look up to her thighs
Then you'll hear him softly sigh as the girl walks by

He's an all American husband, all American husband
He's a devil in disguise, he's got mischief in his eyes
He's an all American husband

He goes to a go-go where the girls don't wear too much
He'll pretend he's not excited, but then why is he all flushed
As the girl starts her motion, he'll say what a disgrace
But ladies take a look at that smile upon his face

He's an all American husband, all American husband
He's a devil in disguise, he's got mischief in his eyes
He's an all American husband

All American husbands, you'll find them all the same
Don't think yours is any different, he just has a different name
Some are bold and flirty and others shy and tame
But they ain't foolin' me and they've got the same thing on their brains

He's an all American husband, all American husband
He's a devil in disguise, he's got mischief in his eyes
He's an all American husband

That old man of mine, he ain't no different
Football, women, baseball, women, poker, more women
All American husband
Ha! that's him

Sprakeloos


Sprakeloos
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre



Oh wat moet ik nu beginnen
Want dit duurt alweer een tijd
M'n gevoelens houd ik binnen
Anders raak ik die nog kwijt

Maar lieverd, als je voor me staat
Dan gaat m'n hart tekeer
Het zweet staat in m'n handen
En het gebeurt me telkens weer

Want ik ben sprakeloos
Als ik bij je ben, als ik jou weer zie
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos, radeloos

Hoe heeft het ooit zover kunnen komen
Want ik ken je al zolang
Je neemt bezit van al mijn dromen
Ja, deze liefde maakt me bang

Je slaat je arm om m'n schouder
En geeft een zoen op mijn wang
Maar ik ben van je gaan houden
Ik heb me niet meer in bedwang

Want ik ben sprakeloos
Als ik bij je ben, als ik jou weer zie
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos, radeloos
Sprakeloos
Als ik in je ogen kijk

En in m'n dromen ben ik vrij
(in m'n dromen ben ik vrij)
Maar als ik 's nachts wakker word
Ben ik hopeloos sprakeloos

Want ik ben sprakeloos
Als ik bij je ben, als ik jou weer zie
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos, radeloos
Sprakeloos
Als ik in je ogen kijk
Sprakeloos
Hopeloos hou ik van jou
Sprakeloos
Als ik in je ogen kijk
Ben ik sprakeloos

Hear The Wind Howl


Hear The Wind Howl
Composer(s): Leo Kottke
Performer(s): Leo Kottke



Hear the Wind Howl
Some cloudy day the sun won't shine my blues away
And all I've lived for seems far away
Some cloudy day

Hear the wind howl
Hear the wind

You can't go back, it's not the same
Things have changed
While I counted hours and time remained
And time remained

Watch the sun rise
Watch the sun rise

Some cloudy day the sun won't shine my blues away
And all I've lived for seems far away
Some cloudy day

Hear the wind howl
Hear the wind howl

Dime (Beth)


Dime
First performance by: Beth - 2003



Mar en calma, en un atardecer
Y todo vuelve a ser como era entonces
Juego con la arena entre mis pies
Dibujando sin querer tu nombre

Cuántas veces te llamé en la noche
Cuántas veces te busqué
Por mis recuerdos yo vuelvo y no pierdo la fe

Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida
Vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
Sin mentiras
Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida

Me han contado que tu estás igual
y que te sientes mal como yo
No permitas que el orgullo sea
quién decida por los dos

Porque tu sabes que te quiero
y todo lo que dije no es verdad
Deja tus miedos, podemos si quieres
Volverlo a intentar

Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida
Vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
Sin mentiras
Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida

Que tu y yo sabemos
Que no debemos seguir así
Vuelve junto a mí

Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida
Vamos a olvidar el ayer y a comenzar otra vez
Sin mentiras
Dime qué es lo que puedo hacer
cómo te puedo tener
En mi vida

Hear My Song, Violetta


Hear My Song, Violetta
Composer(s): Buddy Bernie; Bob Emmerich;
Othmar Klose; Rudolph Lukesch
Performer(s): Josef Locke;
and various other artists



Hear my song, Violetta
Hear my song beneath the moon
Come with me in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

Serenade across the water

Can't you hear it soft and low
A tale of love that lovers used to sing
Long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

The moon on an old lagoon
A mandolin softly is played
And someone in love, `neath a window
Singing this serenade

Serenade across the water

Can't you hear it soft and low
A tale of love that lovers used to sing
Long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

S'posin'


S'posin'
Composer(s): Paul Denniker - Andy Razaf
Performer(s): Dean Martin



S'posing I should fall in love with you
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posing I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you, or distress you

S'posing I should say "for you I yearn"
Would you think I'm speaking out of turn?
S'posing I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posing I'm in love with you

S'posing I should say "for you I yearn"
Would you think I'm speaking out of turn?
S'posing I declare it
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posing, I'm not s'posing
I'm not s'posing I'm in love with you

First performance by: Lou - 2003



(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
Whoah...

Last night in the discotheque
All my friends seemed to look and wait
Just lookin' for trouble
'Cause everything's drivin' 'em mad
(Yeah, drivin' 'em mad)

No fun, not a smilin' face
And down at heart in so many ways
Hey, baby, what's on?
And why's everyone so sad?

Let's get happy and let's be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let's get happy and let's be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day

(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
Yeah, yeah
(On that day, everything will be okay)

See the girl with the high heel shoes
I wanna know why she's got the blues
Don't ya stop a-rockin'
And get the ball a-rollin' tonight
(Yeah, get the ball a-rollin' tonight)

Everyone's kinda cool and stressed
Gotta move, or you'll miss the best
Whatever you do now
You just gotta do it right

Let's get happy and let's be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let's get happy and let's be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day

(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
On a brand new day
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
We will be on our way
(Doob doo doobn da dap da...)
And we'll have lots of fun together
(That's right)

Let's get happy and let's be friends
For tomorrow never, never ends
And our world will be all new
Let's get happy and let's be gay
All our troubles, they will fade away
And the promise I will send you
Hits you on a brand new day

(Let's stop feelin' sad and down)
(Let's just take off from the ground)
Whoah... let's get happy

Healing Time


Healing Time
Composer(s): Michael Allen; Gordon Chambers; Darryl McClary
Performer(s): Stephanie Mills



I don't wanna go
But I can't stay
So I'm making up the bed where we used to lay
Take my pictures from the frame
And don't call my name
And don't come around
It's such a shame
But time heals all pain
And I'll be ok
I love you from afar
And you'll do the same

(You go your way and i'll go mine)
(It's healing time)
It'll be bad for you, but good for me
The healing time
Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be
But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie
It' s healing time

Trying to be friends sometimes don't work
The closer we get, the more it hurts
So just give back my gifts
And please don't say please
And don't, don't, don't play that song
The one called 'on bended knees'
Just say goodbye
Don't let me see you cry
Maybe we'll meet again under some other sky

(You go your way and I'll go mine)
(It's healing time)
(It'll be bad for you, but good for me)
(The healing time) The healing time
(Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be)
(But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie)
(It' s healing time, healing time)

Don't look for no words
There's nothing to say
You can't change my mind
'Cause there ain't no way
Please no last kiss, I gave one last try
We can't be friends, Lord knows we've tried

(You go your way and i'll go mine)
(It's healing time)
(It'll be bad for you, but good for me)
(The healing time) It's healing time
(Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be)
Never, ever, ever, ever be
(But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie)
(It' s healing time, healing time) No-woh
(You go your way and i'll go mine) Go your way
(It's healing time) And I'll go mine
(It'll be bad for you, but good for me) Bad for you
(The healing time)
(Now the hardest thing is knowing that we will never be)
Will never, ever be
(But I'd rather say goodbye than live a lie)
It' s healing time, healing time

Go your way, I'll go mine
Never be, never be, never be, no, no more, babe
Bye-bye, baby, bye- bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
I've got to go
Think I held on too long.........

Spoonful


Spoonful
Composer(s): Willie Dixon
First release by: Howlin' Wolf - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists



Could fill spoons full of diamonds
Could fill spoons full of gold
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Will satisfy my soul

Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Could fill spoons full of coffee
Could fill spoons full of tea
Just a little spoon of your precious love
Is that enough for me?

Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful

Could fill spoons full of water
Save them from the desert sands
But a little spoon of your forty-five
Saved you from another man

Men lies about it
Some of them cries about it
Some of them dies about it
Everything's a-fighting about the spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
