Alberta, Alberta
Where you been so long?
Alberta, Alberta
Where you been so long?
Ain't had no loving
Since you've been gone

Where'd you stay last night?
Alberta, Alberta
Where'd you stay last night?
Come home this morning
Clothes don't fit you right
Alberta, Alberta
Girl, you're on my mind
Alberta, Alberta
Girl, you're on my mind
Ain't had no loving
Such a great long time
Alberta, Alberta
Where you been so long?
Alberta, Alberta
Where you been so long?
Ain't had no loving
Since you've been gone

Where Are You? (Frank Sinatra)


Where Are You?
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending
Where are you
Where are you

Albert Flasher


Albert Flasher
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): The Guess Who; Randy Bachman



I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel
And baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

It was a cold, snowy, rainy afternoon
And we were sittin' there in high school, my school
And Michael was a moonbeam maker
And Michael was a moonbeam maker

I was a diesel fixer, fixed a diesel, diesel fixed me
What a weasel, oh no
Baby was a workshop owner
Baby was a workshop owner

Baby and me were ripe for the pickin'
That was the day we ran into Albert Flasher

I was a workshop owner in the gulch for the people
And I offered myself to the world
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner
I was a workshop owner

Where Am I? (Am I In Heaven?)


Where Am I? (Am I In Heaven?)
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): James Melton;
and various other artists



I was a dreamer but I didn't even venture
to think someone like you could care
Now life has turned into a beautiful adventure
I never knew that life on earth could be so fair

Where am I, am I in heaven
or am I really with you
Who are you, are you an angel
Or just a dream that's too good to be true

Can moonlight be so enchanting
Can kisses be so divine
Where am I, am I in heaven
Can it be true that you are mine

Can moonlight be so enchanting
Can kisses be so divine
Where am I, am I in heaven
Can it be true that you are mine

Albert Är Begavad


Albert Är Begavad
((English Version: Talent Is An Asset (by Sparks))
Composer(s): Ron Mael - Ola Magnell
Performer(s): Ola Magnell



Albert, en smart liten kille han
Brås han på pappa blir lilleman
Snille han
En gång ska han tacka far och mor
För att han blev så berömd och stor

När han blir stor ska han minnas oss
När han blir stor ska han banne mej
Påminnas oss
Vi som gjort så mycket, far och son
Vi som hållit bössen härifrån

Albert, han har esprit
Ni är i vägen ni
Vi är föräldrar och han är geni
Albert är begåvad
Hans sällskap måste sovras
Albert måste sova
Om Albert ska förkovras
Albert är begåvad
För det han lektorn lovat

Innan han släppt sina modersband
Måste han först ro sin båt iland
Bli fil. kand.
När han blir ett världsberömt geni
Får han alla flickors sympati

Albert, han har esprit
Ni är i vägen ni
Vi är föräldrar och han är geni
Albert är en kille
Som äger smak och snille
Albert är bäst och störst
Albert är alltid först
Albert, han fick stora A
Albert, han är för bra

Whenever, Wherever


Whenever, Wherever
Composer(s): Gloria Estefan; Tim Mitchell; Shakira
Performer(s): Shakira



Lucky you were born that far away so
We could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence

Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody

Le do le le le le
Le do le le le le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet?

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together!
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal, my dear!

Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run to cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

Le do le le le le
Le do le le le le
At your feet
I'm at your feet!

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But,that's the deal my dear

Le do le le le le
Le do le le le le
Think out loud
Say it again

Le do le le le le le le
Tell me one more time
That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heals
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

Whenever, Wherever
We're meant together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, Hereunder
You've got me head over heals
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel!

Talent Is An Asset


Talent Is An Asset
((Swedish Version: Albert Är Begavad (by Ola Magnell))
Composer(s): Ron Mael
Performer(s): Sparks



Albert is smart, he's a genius
Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius
Someday he will reassess the world
And he'll still have time for lots of girls

When he grows up he'll remember us
When he grows up we are sure that he'll remember us

We made sure that Albert wore his mac
We kept all the strangers off his back

(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert's mother say to me)
We are his relatives and he don't need any non- relatives

Talent is an asset
You've got to understand that
Talent is an asset
And little Albert has it
Talent is an asset
And Albert surely has it

One day he'll sever his apron strings
All of the while he'll be scribbling things, genius things
Look at Albert, isn't he a sight
Growing, growing at the speed of light

(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert's mother say to me)
We are his relatives and he don't need any non- relatives

Talent is an asset
And little Albert has it

Talent is relative
That's hypothetical
We are his relatives
That's parenthetical
Spare your superlatives
There's the receptacle
There's the receptacle

Leave Albert's study room
Leave Albert's happy room
Leave Albert's neighbourhood
Leave Albert's city, too
Leave Albert's country seat
Leave Albert's coun-rer-y
Leave Albert's continent
Leave Albert's hemisphere
Leave Albert's planet, too
Leave Albert's universe

No one must see him now
Only the medical
No one must downgrade him
Don't be to cynical
Don't be to critical
Cancel the magazines
They're much to political
Don't buy him any jeans
They're much to casual
Talent is relative
We are his relatives
That's parenthetical

Whenever I Say Your Name


Whenever I Say Your Name
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting; Mary J. Blige



Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Whenever your memory feeds my soul, whatever got broken becomes whole
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Wherever I lay me down, wherever I put my head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever those dark clouds hide the moon
Whenever this world has gotten so strange
I know that something's gonna change
Something's gonna change

Whenever I say your name
Whenever I say your name, I'm already praying, I'm already praying
I'm already filled with a joy that I can't explain
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I got to lie awake and weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever this world has got me down, whenever I shed a tear
Whenever the TV makes me mad, whenever I'm paralyzed with fear
Whenever those dark clouds fill the sky, whenever I lose the reason why
Whenever I'm filled with doubts that we will be together

Whenever the sun refuse to shine, whenever the skies are pouring rain
Whatever I lost I thought was mine whenever I close my eyes in pain
Whenever I kneel to pray, whenever I need to find a way
I'm calling out your name

Whenever this dark begins to fall
Whenever I'm vulnerable and small
Whenever I feel like I could die
Whenever I'm holding back the tears that I cry

Whenever I say your name, whenever I call to mind your face
I'm already praying
Whatever bread's in my mouth, whatever the sweetest wine that I taste
Wherever I lay me down, wherever I rest my weary head to sleep
Whenever I hurt and cry, whenever I'm forced to lie awake and have to weep
Whenever I'm on the floor
Whatever it was that I believed before
Whenever I say your name, whenever I say it loud, I'm already praying

Whenever I say your name
No matter how long it takes
One day we'll be together

Whenever I say your name
Let there be no mistake
That day will last forever

Albatross


Albatross
Composer(s): Judy Collins
First release by: Judy Collins - 1967



The lady comes to the gate dressed in lavender and leather
Looking North to the sea she finds the weather fine
She hears the steeple bells ringing through the orchard
All the way from town
She watches seagulls fly
Silver on the ocean stitching through the waves
The edges of the sky

Many people wander up the hills
From all around you
Making up your memories and thinking they have found you
They cover you with veils of wonder as if you were a bride
Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried
And tell you why
And ask you why
Any way you answer

Lace around the collars of the blouses of the ladies
Flowers from a Spanish friend of the family
The embroid'ry of your life holds you in
And keeps you out but you survive
Imprisoned in your bones
Behind the isinglass windows of your eyes

And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea
And in the dark the hard bells ringing with pain
Come away alone

Even now by the gate with you long hair blowing
And the colors of the day that lie along your arms
You must barter your life to make sure you are living
And the crowd that has come
You give them the colors
And the bells and wind and the dream

Will there never be a prince who rides along the sea and the mountains
Scattering the sand and foam into amethyst fountains
Riding up the hills from the beach in the long summer grass
Holding the sun in his hands and shattering the isinglass?

Day and night and day again and people come and go away forever
While the shining summer sea dances in the glass of your mirror
While you search the waves for love and your visions for a sign
The knot of tears around your throat is crystallizing into your design

And in the night the iron wheels rolling through the rain
Down the hills through the long grass to the sea
And in the dark the hard bells ringing with pain
Come away alone
Come away alone...with me

Whenever I Call You "Friend"


Whenever I Call You "Friend"
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins; Melissa Manchester
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins;
and various other artists



Whenever I call you "Friend", I begin to think I understand
Anywhere we are, you and I have always been, ever and ever
I see myself within your eyes, and that's all I need to show me why
Everything I do always takes me home to you, ever and ever
'N now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day, we can see
In every moment there's a reason to carry on

Chorus:
Sweet love's showing us a heavenly light, never seen such a beautiful sight
See love glowing on us every night, I know forever we'll be doing it

chorus... right

Whenever I call you "Friend", I believe I've come to understand
Everywhere we are, you and I were meant to be, forever and ever
I think about the times to come, knowing I will be the lucky one
And ever our love will last, I always want to call you "Friend"

chorus
An' now I know my life has given me more than memories, day by day
We can see, in every moment there's a reason to carry on

chorus 2x - doing it, doing it

Sweet love (repeats out)...
(You're the glowing light in my life, source of pride in my life)
(Everything I do takes me back to you, whenever I call you friend...

Albany


Albany
Composer(s): Nick Munro - Roger Whittaker
Performer(s): Roger Whittaker; Günther Sturm



(Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen)

Dies ist Gordon McKenzies Lied
Sein Lied von Albany
dem stolzen Schloss seines Clans
das er eines Tages für immer verlieren sollte...

Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

Charles und Gordon waren zwei Brüder
sangen als Kinder die gleichen Lieder
jagten gemeinsam in den Wäldern
Doch aus Bruderliebe und Freundschaft
wurde eines Tages bittre Feindschaft
als sie sah'n, sie liebten beide dasselbe Mädchen

Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

(Frag' nach Albany, man wird dir erzählen
Einst war jeder Raum voll Leben und Licht
Geh' nach Albany, finster schau'n die Türme
Klopf an jede Tür, man öffnet dir nicht)

Charles und Gordon waren zwei Brüder
man sagte einer stach den andern nieder
doch ihren fairen Kampf sah keiner
Wie ein Mörder musste Gordon fliehen
kein McKenzie hat ihm je verziehen
rastlos zieht er nun umher, findet keinen Frieden

Albany, hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Albany, in deinen Mauern war ich einst zuhause
Albany, Schloss meiner Väter, das ich geliebt
ach, könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

Oh, ho, ho Albany
hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Oh, ho, ho, Albany
ja in deinen Mauern da war ich zu haus
Oh, mein Albany
könnt' ich dich nur einmal wiedersehen

Oh, ho, ho Albany
hoch in den Bergen von Norton Green
Oh, ho, ho, Albany
ja in deinen Mauern da war ich zu Haus . . .

Whenever He Holds You


Whenever He Holds You
Composer(s): Bobby Goldsboro
Performer(s): Bobby Goldsboro



Take your little heart
Tear it all apart
Make the teardrops fall
From your eyes
And you'll know how I feel
When he holds you
Whenever he holds you

Pretend no one loves you
Make believe you're blue

And if you get an empty feeling deep inside
Then you'll know how I feel
When he holds you
Whenever he holds you

My friends say forget you
I know I should try
But whenever he holds you, I feel I could die

But if you ever find
That I'm still on your mind
Maybe you'll come back to my arms

Till then I'll cry
When he holds you
Whenever he holds you

Albanta


Albanta
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
vuelan las alas del agua
como palomas de escarcha
y el mar no es azul
sino el vuelo de tu imaginación
en Albanta

Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
las nubes callan palabras
y el cielo no dice nada
y el sol es un sol
transparente como tu corazón
en Albanta

Que aquí, tú ya lo ves
es Albanta al revés

Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
las ciencias no son exactas
porque es eterna la infancia
y el fin no es el fin
porque no acaba lo que no empezó
en Albanta

Yo sé que allí
allí donde tú dices
no existen hombres que mandan
porque no existen fantasmas
y amar es la flor
más perfecta que crece en tu jardín
en Albanta

Que aquí, tú ya lo ves
es Albanta al revés

Whenever God Shines His Light


Whenever God Shines His Light
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison;
and various other artists



Whenever God shines his light on me
Open up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
Then I know everythings gonna be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him, he is there
When I am lonely, as I can be
Then I know that God shines his light on me
Reach out for him, he'll be there
With him, your troubles, you can share
If you live the life you love
You get the blessings from above.
Heals the sick, and heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus' name
And he lifts you up, and he turns you around
And he puts your feet back, on higher grounds...

Albachiara


Albachiara
Composer(s): Vasco Rossi
First release by: Vasco Rossi - 1979



Respiri piano per non far rumore
ti addormenti di sera e ti risvegli col sole
sei chiara come l'alba
sei fresca come l'aria
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
e sei fantastica quando sei assorta
nei tuoi problemi, nei tuoi pensieri

Ti vesti svogliatamente
non metti mai niente che possa attirare attenzione
un particolare, solo per farti guardare

E con la faccia pulita cammini per strada
mangiando una mela, coi libri di scuola
ti piace studiare
non te ne devi vergognare

E quando guardi con quegli occhi grandi
forse un po' troppo sinceri...sinceri
si vede quello che pensi, quello che sogni
e qualche volta fai pensieri strani
e con una mano, una mano ti sfiori
tu sola dentro una stanza
e tutto il mondo fuori

When You've Got What It Takes


When You've Got What It Takes
Composer(s): Bill Lane; Roger Nichols
Performer(s): The Carpenters



You've got nothing to hide
You've got miles of feeling
And acres of pride
You've got it
You've really got it

When you know who you are
Then you live what you feel
You live what you can
And it's good when you've really got it
And when you've got it

(chorus)
Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you'vegot what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

When you've sure of your heart
Then you give it away
And love is a promise
You keep every day
You know it
And when you know it

You begin to believe
You'll do more than survive
That the best part of being is being alive
You feel it
And when you feel it

Let it out
Let it show
Let 'em know
Inside you've got it
Let it shine like a fine tomorrow
For when you do
The felling comes back to you
What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it

What a difference it makes
When you've got what it takes
What a difference it makes
When you've got it
When you've got it everyday

Alaska & Me


Alaska & Me
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver



When I was a child and I lived in the city
I dreamed of Alaska so far away
And I dreamed I was flying over mountains and glaciers
Somehow I knew I'd live there one day
Well it took me some growin', and a fair bit of schoolin'
And a little bit of trouble to get on the move
And I felt like a loser but I turned out the winner
When I came to Alaska the land that I love

Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

I was born in a cabin on Little Mulchatna
Raised in hard times but I had a good life
From the first time I flew with my father a singin'
I knew that I'd wind up a bush pilot's wife

We sleep near the sound of a slow running river
And wake up most mornings to a drizzling rain
And we face every day like the first or the last one
With nothin' to lose and heaven to gain

Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

Oh, for the fire on a cold winters night
And once more to gaze at the great northern lights
For all of the beauty my children will see
Here's to Alaska and me
Here's to Alaska, here's to the people
Here's to the wild and here's to the free
Here's to my life in a chosen country
Here's to Alaska and me

When You're Young And In Love


When You're Young And In Love
Composer(s): Van McCoy
Performer(s): The Marvelettes



(Young and in love)
(Young and in love)

Spring in the air (filled with love)
There's magic ev'rywhere
When you're young and in love

Life seems to be (just a dream)
A world of fantasy
When you're young and in love

Each night seems just like the Fourth of July
When stars spangle the sky

The moon at night (shines so bright)
Seems to shine twice as bright
When you're young and in love

Ooh, dreams can come true (try a dream)
If you believe they do
When you're young and in love

Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love

(Look and you'll find)
Ooh, ooh yeah
(There's no mountain you can't climb)
When you're young and in love

Though many teardrops are bound to fall
True love can conquer all
When you're, when you're young and in love

(Young and in love)
So in love
(Young and in love)
Oh, yeah

(Young and in love)
I feel so good

Alas, Alas


Alas, Alas
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Una lluvia de almendras
dos trenzas diminutas
tres parapentes blancos
cuatro cestas de frutas

Cinco copas de hierro
seis recuerdos heridos
siete caminos largos
ocho lirios partidos

Nueve mareas altas
diez sorbos de cerveza
once alquimistas ciegos
doce encinas que rezan

Un día nos regala
como yo a tí te regalo ahora
alas, alas

Trece viernes de dicha
catorce desconocidos
quince perfumes limpios
dieciséis horas de olvido

Diecisiete reyes de oro
dieciocho decisiones
diecinueve caballeros
con veinte preocupaciones

Veintiuna albercas de agua
con veintidós pensamientos
veintitrés pasos perdidos
veinticuatro sentimientos

Un día nos regala
como yo a ti te regalo ahora
alas, alas
