Through With Buzz


Through With Buzz
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Troglodytes



He takes all my money
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh
He’s not very funny
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh

I remember when he stole my girl
Drug her all around the world
You know I’m cool, yes I feel alright
’cept when I’m in my room and it’s late at night

Maybe he’s a fairy
You know I’m through with Buzz
Yes I’m through with Buzz
All right, oh yeah, uh huh, all right

Cuando Tú No Estás (Raphael)


Cuando Tú No Estás
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



No se si el mundo es el de siempre
Pero yo lo veo diferente
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

No se si brillan las estrellas
Pero yo me encuentro entre tiniembas
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

Cuando tu no estas
No tengo nada
No me queda mas que mi dolor
Por eso envidio al mar que tiene agua
Y al amanecer que tiene al sol

Nada soy sin Laura
Solo estoy sin su amor
Nada soy sin Laura, sin Laura
Sin Laura, sin Laura, sin Laura

No se si es todo como antes
Pero a mi me falta como el aire
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

No se si brilla igual la luna
Pero yo la noche veo oscura
Cuando tu no estas
Cuando tu no estas

Yo te busco a ti bajo las hojas
Que cayendo estan cerca de mi
Al otoño gris lleno de sombras
Le preguntare que fue de ti

Nada soy sin Laura
Solo estoy sin su amor
Nada soy sin Laura, sin Laura
Sin Laura, sin Laura, sin Laura

Sin Laura
Sin su amor

(I've Got) Beginner's Luck

(I've Got) Beginner's Luck
From the film "Shall We Dance"
Composer(s): George & Ira Gershwin
Performer(s: Fred Astaire;
and various other artists



I've got beginner's luck
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you
Gosh, I'm lucky

I've got beginner's luck
They told me beginners win
Now I know it's true
Gosh, I'm fortunate

The thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time

I've got beginner's luck
Lucky through and through
'Cause the first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

At any gambling casino
From Monte Carlo to Reno
They tell you that a beginner
Comes out a winner

Beginner fishing for flounder
Will catch a seventeen pounder
That's what I've always heard
And always thought absurd,
But now, I believe every word

I've got beginner's luck
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

I've got beginner's luck
There never was such a smile
Or such eyes of blue

This thing we've begun
Is much more than a pastime
For this time is the one
Where the first time is the last time

'Cause the first time that I'm in love
The very first time that I'm in love
The first time that I'm in love
I'm in love with you

Thru These Walls


Thru These Walls
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're fooling around
I can hear through these walls
And I hear every sign, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
Every word that they say
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way
My favourite moment
Putting the glass up next to the wall
Imagination
Though I see nothing, I hear it all
Putting my sign up
Do not disturb me, speak or shout, inside out
Oh mind my clothes, they're all laid out
I can see through my windows
I can see the girls and the boys
I can see through my windows
And I can imagine the noise
I can see through my windows
I can see them playing with toys
Oh I hope it won't end
If I promise not to touch, just be a friend
Life is so lonely
I don't get high off just being me
I like pretending
Wanting to touch them, wanting to see
It's only normal
Creeping behind you, now don't shout, 'cause it's alright
They keep the windows locked and the door shut tight
Oo I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage
No way in, no way out, and it gets so lonely
Am I really asking a lot
Just to reach out and touch somebody
'Cause when I look through my windows or open my door
I can feel it all around me
I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're fooling around
I can hear through these walls
And I hear every sight, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark with the shades pulled down
Every word that they say
Every noise they make feels it's coming my way

Cuando Tú No Estás (Carlos Gardel)


Cuando Tú No Estás
Composer(s): Mario Battistella - Carlos Gardel - M. Lattes - Alfredo Le Pera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel
and multiple other artists



Solo en las rutas de mi destino
sin el amparo de tu mirar
soy como un ave que en el camino
rompió las cuerdas de su cantar

Cuando no estás, la flor no perfuma
si tú te vas, me envuelve la bruma
El zorzal, la fuente y las estrellas
pierden para mí su seducción
Cuando no estás, muere mi esperanza
si tú te vas, se va mi ilusión
¡Oye mi lamento, que confío al viento
todo el dolor cuando tú no estás!

Nace la aurora resplandeciente
clara mañana, bello rosal
brilla la estrella, canta la fuente
ríe la vida porque tú estás

(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That

(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That
Composer(s): Danny Kortchmar; James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor; Coastline Band



I like to think about the time I met you
Living with your people down in New Orleans
Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you
Ride in no nasty limousine
Later on the levee with the moon up above
I lost my heart and confessed my love
Oh Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

One Summer night in a field of wheat
God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky
Moving light on your tiny feet
I knew I had to love you till the day I die
They talk about Amazing Grace
It meant something when I saw your face
Oh Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

I think of all the little things that I never told you
I think I may get to hold you someday
It's my brain just like a man possessed
I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest
I can't understand it baby

Don't like to think about the way it ended
I hate remembering the things that I said
I dream a dream of love so splendid
I wake up hard in an empty bed
I wonder who'll be loving you next
Some fool will be writing bad checks
Oh now Lucy, God have mercy
I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you

Through The Years


Through The Years
Composer(s): Steve Dorff - Marty Panzer
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years
You've never let me down
You turned my life around
The sweetest days I've found
I've found with you
Through the years
I've never been afraid
I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed
Right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years
Through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had
I've always been so glad
To be with you
Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years
When everything went wrong
Together we were strong
I know that I belonged
Right here with you
Through the years
I never had a doubt
We'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about
By loving you
Through the years

Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years

Cuando Tú Me Quieras


Cuando Tú Me Quieras
Composer(s): Mario Barrios; Raul Shaw Moreno
Performer(s): Javier Solís
and multiple other artists



Noche a noche sueño contigo
siento tu vida en la mía
cual sombra divina
cual eco distante
que apenas puedo oír

Cuando tú me quieras
cuando te vea sonreír
vibrarán las campanas
y alegres mariposas
lucirán sus colores en suave vaivén

Cuando tú me quieras
cuando me digas que sí
bajaré las estrellas
para ofrecerte un día
y rendirme a tus pies

Subirán por tu balcón
las flores que en rubor
reflejarán el brillo
el brillo de tus ojos
cuando tú me quieras

Subirán por tu balcón
las flores que en rubor
reflejarán el brillo
el brillo de tus ojos
cuando tú me quieras

Cuando tú me quieras
cuando me digas que sí
bajaré las estrellas
para ofrecerte un día
y rendirme a tus pies

Through The Storm


Through The Storm
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin & Elton John



In this world it's hard
you know
lovers come and lovers go

people never seem to hold on to what they've got
Some
they never stay together
you and I will be no better

we can make it last forever
we can keep this love alive

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive

I know sometimes it's been so tough

we've been so close to giving up

but our love's so strong and we keep holding on

yeah
to what we got
It's easier to walk away
it takes a lot of love to stay

we've got all the love it takes
we know there's a brighter day

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive

We just gotta be strong
we just gotta be strong

we just gotta be strong together

we just gotta hold on
we just gotta hold on

we just gotta hold on and go through the storm

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive

Through the storm
through the tears

you and I
I know we can survive
To the day
through the night

if we try we can keep it alive
we can keep it alive

Cuando Tenga Mil Años


Cuando Tenga Mil Años
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Cuando tenga mil años
Yo aprendere a tener mas cuidado con el amor

Cuando haya vivido
Cuando haya sufrido
Cuando haya perdido
Mil veces mas
Es posible que empiece a saber de amor
Un poco mas

Todos pretenden saber
Todos pretenden hablar
Y nadie lo entiende, nadie
No sabe nadie lo que es amor
Unos diran que es azul
Otros que es algo infernal
Y nadie lo entiende, nadie
No sabe nadie lo que es amor

Cuando tenga mil años
Caminare y tan solo mirando conquistare
A la mujer

Cuando haya vivido
Cuando haya sufrido
Cuando tenga mil años
Descubrire la manera mas facil para triunfar
En el amor

(It's) Wonderful To Be Young

(It's) Wonderful To Be Young
From "Wonderful To Be Young"; "The Young Ones"
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



It's wonderful to be young
In love with life
If life's a mystery, who cares
As long as I have you
Our love will always see us through

It's wonderful to be young
No doubts, no fears
If everything goes wrong we laugh
And make a brand new start
Our love will never let us part

Who can tell what lies ahead
Or where the fates will lead me
I'll come through if I have you
To want and need me

It's wonderful to be young
In love with life
And life is wonderful because
You've promised to be mine
For now and till the end of time

Who can tell what lies ahead
Or where the fates will lead me
I'll come through if I have you
To want and need me

It's wonderful to be young
In love with life
And life is wonderful because
You've promised to be mine
For now and till the end of time
It's, oh, so wonderful
It's, oh, so wonderful

Thriller


Thriller
Composer(s): Rod Temperton
First release by: Michael Jackson - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escapin' the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All thru the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller here tonight

(Rap performed by Vincent Price)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnite hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighbourhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Cuando Te Sueño


Cuando Te Sueño
Performer(s): Raphael



Me miras y no me dices nada
Tan solo te sonries y te marchas
Y luego despierto como siempre
Perdido entre la espuma de mi cama
A veces mi sueño es de colores
Y entonces apareces
Perdida entre las flores del jardin
Y corro hacia tu lado pero tu te has ido
Como ayer

Ayer
Que lejos va quedando
Y que cerca a la vez
Que vuelve cada dia
Y me lleva con el
Y tras cualquier esquina
Me espera

Ayer
Que fue pasando el tiempo
Y nunca se fue
Que nace cada dia
En el corazon
Y llena de recuerdos
Las horas

Me miras y trato de abrazarte
Y entonces tu te escapas de mis manos
Te hablo y no respondes nada
Tan solo te sonries y te marchas
A veces mi sueño es un poema
Y entonces apareces
Perdida entre las lineas del papel
Y trato de atraparte pero tu te has ido
Como ayer

(It's The Way) Nature Planned It

(It's The Way) Nature Planned It
Composer(s): Pam Sawyer; Frank Wilson
Performer(s): The Four Tops; Ken Boothe



Baby, don't fight it
My lovin', baby
(backing na-na-na's)

Do you know how long I'm dreamin'
Of a reason it grows?
You may ask me all these questions
But darling, no one knows
It should be clear, I really love you
Don't ask me why; I just do
Do you ask the Lord who loves you?
Why He makes the sky clear blue

(chorus)
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it
We were meant, we were meant to stay together
It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)

Oh don't ask me how long I'll love you
When you're gone, my heart aches; I'll never never leave you
Girl, all my life, for you I'd wait 'cause it's the way

(chorus)

Don't fight it, baby
I'm jumpin' earth
(backing na-na-na's)
It should be clear, I really love you
Don't ask me why; I just do
'Cause it's the way (it's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
Like the stars & the sky & the beautiful heaven

(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it
We were meant, we were meant to stay together)
Oh oh yeah, do you know why it rains?
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
Something no one can explain
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
We were meant, we were meant to stay together
Why does a flower grow?
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
Why does the river flow?
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
We were meant, we were meant, we were meant to stay together
Why does it rain?
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
Why do I feel this way?
(It's the way, it's the way Nature planned it)
.... and fade

Threshold Of Love (Stained Glass Window)


Threshold Of Love (Stained Glass Window)
Composer(s): Don Agrati - Gary Zekley
Performer(s): The Yellow Balloon



Do you feel what I feel
What's happ'ning to us is a dream, but it's real
I can feel the heat from the hot sun above
Hand in hand we stand at the threshold of love

Far from the town there's no one around
I'm touching your hair (Touching your hair)
I touch your hair (Touching your hair)
We're touching

Do you feel what I feel
What's happ'ning to us is a dream, but it's real
I can feel the heat from the hot sun above
Hand in hand we stand at the threshold of love

Touching your lips (Playing with your hair)
Playing with your hair (La-la-la-la-la)
Laying in the fields at sunset
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

Soon the sun will appear
In the dawn I'll be holding you near
Touching dreams of the night gone away
Where we stood at the threshold of love
(Threshold of love) Threshold of love yesterday

Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah...

Cuando Seas Grande


Cuando Seas Grande
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Miguel Mateos
and multiple other artists



Soy un chico de la calle
camino la ciudad con mi guitarra
sin molestar a nadie
Voy cortando cadenas
estoy creciendo contra la miseria
y alguna que otra pena
Pero pierdo el control
llego a casa y escucho su voz
siempre la misma canción

Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande
Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande
estrella de Rock'n Roll
presidente de la nación
nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando alguien apriete el botón

Estoy casi condenado
a tener éxito para no ser
un perro fracasado
así, así, así yo fui enseñado
generaciones tras generaciones
marchan a mi lado
Yo solo quiero jugar
soy el sueño de mamá y papá
no, no les puedo fallar

Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande
Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande
estrella de Rock'n Roll
presidente de la nación
nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando alguien apriete el botón

Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande
Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande
estrella de Rock'n Roll
presidente de la nación
nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando alguien apriete el botón

Nene, nene que vas a ser
cuando seas grande

(It's A) Long Lonely Highway

(It's A) Long Lonely Highway
Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Ingrid Lucia



It's a long lonely highway
when you're travellin' all alone

And it's a mean old world when you got no-one to call your own
And you pass through towns too small to even have a name, oh yes
But you gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line

It's a long lonely highway without her by my side
And it's a trail full of teardrops that keep on being cried
My heart's so heavy it's a low down dirty shame oh yes
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line

I gotta rock for my pillow 'neath a weeping willow
And the cool grass for my bed
My drinking water's muddy so don't you tell me buddy
That I wouldn't be better off dead
It's a long lonely highway gettin' longer all the time
And if she don't come and get me
Well, I'm gonna lose my mind
So if you read about me tell her she's the one to blame, oh yes
You gotta keep on goin', on that road to nowhere
Gotta keep on goin', though there's no-one to care
Just keep movin' down the line
Movin' down the line
Movin' down the line

Three Wonderful Letters From Home


Three Wonderful Letters From Home
Composer(s): Joe Goodwin - Ballard MacDonald - James F. Hanley



Three letters left a village bound for somewhere over there
three letters to a lonesome soldier lad each one a loving story told
each one was worth its weight in gold
three messages that made his poor heart glad

Each word was like a soft caress that soothed his aching heart
and drove away the misery and the pain
then joy returned to take their place and brought a vision of each face
as over and over he read their words again

For the first was just old fashioned, and it breathed a mother's prayer
while the next one started "Darling, God protect you over there"
and the third was filled with kisses, send to Daddy across the foam
from his mother, wife and baby, three wonderful letters from home

Cuando Sale La Luna


Cuando Sale La Luna
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez and multiple other artists



Deja que salga la luna
deja que se meta el sol
deja que caiga la noche
pa'que empiece nuestro amor

Deja que las estrellas
me llenen de inspiración
para decirte cositas
muy bonitas corazón

Yo no sé que no hay en el mundo
amor como el que me das
y sé que no che con noche
va creciendo más y más

(Y sé que noche con noche
va creciendo más y más)

Cuando estoy entre tus brazos
siempre me pregunto yo
cuanto me debía el destino
que contigo me pagó

Por eso es que ya mi vida
toda te la entrego a ti
tú que me diste en un beso
lo que nunca te pedí

Yo no se que no hay en el mundo
amor como el que me das
y sé que noche con noche
va creciendo más y más

(Y sé que noche con noche
va creciendo más y más)

Deja que salga la luna
