How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye
How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): Luther Vandross; Dionne Warwick
Here we are so close to the end now
Still holding on and trying to pretend now
Clinging to love we both know is dying
We've tried and tried to find the solution
But Darling
All our dreams have been played out
Still we go on hopelessly trying
How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
We're so in love but wrong for each other
Each hurt that heals brings on another
Both of us abusing
Both of us using
Darling
It's time to stop pretending
There's just no way to rewrite our ending
We're caught in this game
And we both know we're losing, but
How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we see love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Good-bye
How many times can we breakup and makeup
Both of our hearts refusing to wake up
Just can't go on and on
Living a lie
Though I'll always love you
How many times can we say good-bye
How many times can we watch love die
How many times can we give it one more try
Before we really say good-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye
Good-bye
Bye-bye
Good-bye

A Mulher De Cada Porto
A Mulher De Cada Porto
Composer(s): Chico Buarque - Edú Lobo
Performer(s): Edú Lobo
Ele:
Quem me dera ficar meu amor, de uma vez
Mas escuta o que dizem as ondas do mar
Se eu me deixo amarrar por um mês
Na amada de um porto
Noutro porto outra amada é capaz
De outro amor amarrar, ah
Minha vida, querida, não é nenhum mar de rosas
Chora não, vou voltar
Ela:
Quem me dera amarrar meu amor quase um mês
Mas escuta o que dizem as pedras do cais
Se eu deixasse juntar de uma vez meus amores num porto
Transbordava a baía com todas as forças navais
Minha vida, querido, não é nenhum mar de rosas
Volta não, segue em paz
Os Dois:
Minha vida querido (querida) não é nenhum mar de rosas
Ele:
Chora não
Ela:
Segue em paz

How Many Tears
How Many Tears
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): Bobby Vee; Carole King
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
How many tears can you cry when you're sad and lonely?
And how many tears can you cry when someone makes you blue?
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my cryin' over you
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
How many lies can you can you count when you just can't sleep at night?
And how many lies can you count before your heart is free?
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I'm still countin' the lies you told to me
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
There's just no end to all the broken promises that I recall
I was a fool to fall for you
It hurts to know you played a game and went and had yourself a ball
And through it all made me blue
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
How many tears can you cry when it all is over?
And how many tears can you cry when you want someone new?
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
(Yum diddy dum diddy um)
That's a question I'm still unable to answer
'Cause I can't stop my love for you
How many tears..................

A Moving Story
A Moving Story
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze
She moved from Clapham
And didn't look back
Her life was changed in an instant
The van was filled up
And tied to the rack
Her home that now seemed so distant
Kissing goodbye
To her friends on the stairs
She felt a loss deep within her
Sat in the front seat with stuff everywhere
The neighbours said they would ring her
They moved to the sea front
And loved their new view
Of tides coming in on the shingle
She and her daughter
Found new things to do
At last it was good to be single
And in the summer
The place came alive
Lights on the pier in the evening
The fresh sea air
And could cut with a knife
Such a wonderful feeling
She worked in a pub
Where bands would appear
On a tiny stage in the corner
She watched them load in
With tattered old gear
The place would get like a sauna
London had gone now
Her new life was strong
She found herself a new karma
She fell for a man
Who played with a band
And took her life from it's drama
She moved from Clapham
And didn't look back
The past was neatly extinguished
He was much younger
But she lived with that
He struggled hard with his english
She felt his loving
And proudly reclaimed
All of the warmth she'd been lacking
They lay in bed
Looking out at the rain
No more moving or packing
She moved from Clapham
And didn't look back
Her life had changed in an instant

How Many Teardrops
How Many Teardrops
Composer(s): Rick Rodell
Performer(s): Lou Christie
How many teardrops must I cry till you believe in me?
And how many teardrops must I dry to end this misery?
I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry yi yi yi yi
Must I cry, have to fall
To say you're mine (you're mine) only mine (you're mine)
Mi yi yi yi yi yine
I wish I knew the reason why you've gone & made me blue
You didn't even tell me that you and I were through
I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry
Must I cry, have to fall
To say you're mine (you're mine) only mine
It's all a part of a little game that you had cooked up for me
Tryin' to find out just how much you really mean to me
If that's the reason for leavin', there's no reason to explain
'Cause baby, I really need you like the roses need the rain
I wanna know: how many teardrops must I cry yi yi yi yi
Must I cry, have to fall
To say you're mine (how many teardrops)
Oh must I cry (how many teardrops)
Oh must I cry (how many teardrops)

A Mother's Way
A Mother's Way
Composer(s): Reg Keating
Performer(s): Foster & Allen
It's just a mother's way
To worry through the day
'Bout every little thing
Like falling off a swing
When you are out at play
The years slide quickly by
The Summers seem to fly
And then you move along
You break out on your own
But you don't see her cry
For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal
She worries still today
Take her hand
Show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long, long way
And now the years have flown
She's sitting all alone
With all her photographs and memories of the past
She's glad when you come home
For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal
She worries still today
Take her hand
Show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long, long way
For a while she hides behind a smile
But then her eyes reveal
She worries still today
Take her hand
Show her you understand
A little tenderness will go a long, long way
A little tenderness will go a long, long way

A Mother's Love Is A Blessing
A Mother's Love Is A Blessing
(Traditional)
An Irish boy was leaving
Leaving his native home
Crossing the broad Atlantic
Once more he wished to roam
And as he was leaving his mother
Who was standing on the quay
She threw her arms around his waist
And this to him did say
A mother's love's a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood
Though feeble, old and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay
And as the years go onwards
I'll settle down in life
And choose a nice young colleen
And take her for my wife
And as the babes grow older
And climb around my knee
I'll teach them the very same lesson
That my mother taught to me
A mother's love's a blessing
No matter where you roam
Keep her while she's living
You'll miss her when she's gone
Love her as in childhood
Though feeble, old and grey
For you'll never miss a mother's love
Till she's buried beneath the clay

How Many?
How Many?
Composer(s): Howard Blair; Hal Barnes
Performer(s): Jim Reeves;
and various other artists
If all the guys you ever knew
Were standing here in front of you
I wonder just how many there would be?
If everyone you ever kissed
Was put on paper in a list
I wonder just how many there would be?
You must have kissed a million
For everywhere we go
You seem so well acquainted
The way they smile and say "hello"
If I could count their broken hearts
Like I would have if we should part
I wonder just how many there would be?

A Mother's Love (Diana Ross)
A Mother's Love
Composer(s): Toshifumi Hinata - Bill Wray - Diana Ross
Performer(s): Diana Ross
In a world of make believe
You can change all that you see
But in the world of reality
You've taught me all that I need
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day
The only way I can thank you
Is to be the best that I can be
If we hold on together
Just you and me
A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need
In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
You've been with me day by day
You are you and I am me
You've made me all that I am
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Always there to understand
A mother's love is forever
A mother's love is for free
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad
She's there for whatever you need
Doesn't matter if you're good or bad
There's nothing like a mother's love

How Lucky You Are
How Lucky You Are
Composer(s): Desmond O'Connor; Eddie Cassen
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters;
and various other artists
As you walk, as you talk with the one you love
Do you know just how lucky you are?
When you stroll hand in hand ‘neath the moon above
Does your heart sing how lucky you are?
There’re so many heartaches in this world of ours
But sometimes a dream will come true
When the one that you love is in love with you
That’s the greatest of blessings by far
And you don’t know how lucky you are.
There’re so many heartaches in this world of ours
But sometimes a dream will come true
When the one that you love is in love with you
That’s the greatest of blessings by far
And you don’t know how lucky you are

Mother's Lament
Mother's Lament (aka Your Baby Has Gone Down The Plughole)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Martin Carthy; Cream
A mother was bathin' her baby one night
The youngest of ten, a poor little mite
The mother was fat and the baby was fine
T'was nawt but a skellington wrapped up in skin
The mother turned round for the soap from the rack
She weren't gone a minute, but when she got back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried
"Oh, where is my baby?", and the angels replied
Your baby has gorn dahn the plug'ole
Your baby has gorn dahn the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
He shoulda been bathed in a jug
Your baby is perfik'ly happy
He won't need no bathin' no more
He's workin' his way through the sewers
Not lost, just gone on before
Your baby has gorn dahn the drainpipe
And the chlorine is bad for his eyes
He's havin' a swim, and it's healthy for him
He needed the exercise
Don't worry 'baht 'im, just be 'appy
For I know he is suff'rin' no pain
Your baby has gorn dahn the plug'ole
Let's hope he don't stop up the drain

Oh, how lovely cooks the meat

And I hope it won't be tough
'Cos my man must get enough

Oh, how lovely cooks the meat

Oh, my dear, your teeth are strong
And I hope that I'm not wrong
Though the steak is burnt and tough
I am sure you'll get enough

A Mother Doesn't Matter Anymore
A Mother Doesn't Matter Anymore
Composer(s): Charles Strouse - Lee Adams
So, it's come at last
At last it's come, the day I knew would come at last has come, at last
My sonny-boy doesn't need me any longer
Well, what are you waiting for?
Get rid of me, put me out with the garbage
Just throw me out with the used grapefruits and the empty cans from the tuna fish
And never mind putting a lid on it
Leave it open so a hundred thousand pussycats can walk all over a mother
Who bronzed your baby shoes?
Kissed ev'ry little bruise?
Who picked your dirty socks up off the floor?
You coughed and who was there?
It's just too hard to bear
A mother doesn't matter anymore
With bunions on my feet
I trudged through snow and sleet
To bring your lic'rice from the corner store
I sold my Tiffany lamp
So you could go to camp
Now a mother doesn't matter anymore
That's it, I'm ready to go and I don't want you to spend a cent
Fancy funerals are for rich people
Just wrap me in a flag and throw me in the river on mother's day
And precious, by the way
The doctor called today
What I got's a condition
Yes he's sure
There's nothing they can do
I'll last a week or two
Because for a condition there's no cure
That time you caught the croup
Who made you chicken soup
And read you "Bambi" till her throat was sore?
You sacrifice your life, then, Bang!
You get the knife
Now a mother doesn't matter anymore
There, I feel better now
Everything is as it should be
A mother is lying on top of a sanitation truck, bound for the city dump
And a son is running around with a floozie who came looking for a good time
And stayed to ruin an American woman's life
Who gave up nights of rest
To rub Vicks on your chest?
Who nursed her sonny boy till he was four?
My life has been in vain
This country's down the drain
'Cause a mother doesn't matter
No, a mother doesn't matter
Yes, a mother doesn't matter anymore

How Long Is Too Long?
Composer(s): Tony Asher; John Bahler
Performer(s): The Partridge Family
You tell me you are through with him
You'll soon be free just to be with me
So I'll stay by the phone
I'm waitin' every night at home
Watching tv shows and honey
Heaven knows I'm always alone
Tho' you never call me
I keep on loving you
Hoping that if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long
But how long is too long
I got to know, you're makin' me lose my mind
How long is too long
Hopin' everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way
I see you walkin' around with him
Holdin' hands and makin' plans
You're never apart
I see the way you look at him
When you're in a crowd
I know it makes him proud
While it's breakin' my heart
And all the time you tell me
Keep on lovin' you
And if I do, you're gonna love me too
And I won't have to wait too long
How long is too long
I've got to know, you're makin' me lose my mind
How long is too long
Cause baby I've been waitin' a long long time
How long is too long
Hopin' everything will turn out okay
How long is too long
To sit around and wait till you come my way

A Montanha
A Montanha
Performer(s): Roberto Carlos
Eu vou seguir uma luz lá no alto
Eu vou ouvir uma voz que me chama
Eu vou subir a montanha e ficar bem mais perto de Deus
E rezar
Eu vou gritar para o mundo me ouvir e acompanhar
Toda minha escalada e ajudar
A mostrar como é o meu grito de amor e de fé
Eu vou pedir que as estrelas não parem de brilhar
E as crianças não deixem de sorrir
E que os homens jamais se esqueçam de agradecer
Por isso eu digo
Obrigado, Senhor, por mais um dia
Obrigado, Senhor, que eu posso ver
Que seria de mim sem a fé que eu tenho em você
Por mais que eu sofra
Obrigado, Senhor, mesmo que eu chore
Obrigado, Senhor, por eu saber
Que tudo isso me mostra o caminho que leva a você
Mais uma vez
Obrigado, Senhor, por outro dia
Obrigado, Senhor, que o sol nasceu
Obrigado, Senhor, agradeço obrigado, Senhor
Por isso eu digo
Obrigado, Senhor, pelas estrelas
Obrigado, Senhor, pelo sorriso
Obrigado, Senhor, agradeço obrigado, Senhor
Mais uma vez
Obrigado, Senhor, por um novo dia
Obrigado, Senhor, pela esperança
Por isso eu digo
Obrigado, Senhor, pelo sorriso
Obrigado, Senhor, pelo perdão
Obrigado, Senhor, agradeço obrigado, Senhor

How Long Has This Been Going On?
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney;
and various other artists
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on?
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?
Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
Let me dream that it's true
Kiss me twice, then once more
That makes thrice, let's make it four
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?
