The Gift You Are
The Gift You Are
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver
Imagine a month of sundays
Each one a cloudy day
Imagine the moment the sun came shining through
Imagine that ray of sunshine as you
Remember your darkest hour
With dawn still far away
Remember the way that you longed for morning’s light
And think of yourself as a candle in the night
Make believe this is the first day
Everything all brand new
Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star
And then understand the kind of gift you are
The gift you are
Like the very first breath of spring
The gift you are
All the joy that love can bring
The gift you are
All of our dreams come true
The gift you are
The gift of you
You are the promise of all the ages
You are the prodigal son
You are the vision of prophets and sages
You are the only one
Dream of a bright tomorrow
Know that your dream will come true
Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar
Then you will know the kind of gift you are
The gift you are
Like the very first breath of spring
The gift you are
All the joy that love can bring
The gift you are
All of our dreams come true
The gift you are
The gift of you
The gift you are
Like the very first breath of springtime
The gift you are
All the joy that love can bring
The gift you are
All of our dreams come true - yes they do
The gift you are
The gift of you
The gift you are
The gift of you

For Your Precious Love
For Your Precious Love
Composer(s): Arthur Brooks;
Richard Brooks; Jerry Butler
Performer(s): Jerry Butler & The Impressions
Your precious love means more to me
Than any love could ever be
For when I wanted you
I was so lonely and blue
For That’s what love will do
And darling, I’m so surprised
Oh, When I first realized
That you were fooling me
And darling, they say that our love won’t grow
But I just want to tell them they don’t know
For as long as you’re in love with me
Our love will grow wider
Deeper than any sea
And of all the things that I want
In this whole wide world, is
Just for you to say that you’ll be my girl
Wanting you, I’m so lonely and blue
That’s what love will do

The Ghost Of Tom Joad
The Ghost Of Tom Joad
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1995
Covered by multiple other artists
Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' some place, there's no goin' back
Highway Patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home, no Job, no peace, no rest
The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
He pulls prayer book out of his sleepin' bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the city aqueduct
The highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
Now Tom Said: "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry new born baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a pIace to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes mom you'll see me"
Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

Celebrate (Three Dog Night)
Celebrate
Composer(s): Garry Bonner - Alan Gordon
First release by: Three Dog Night - 1969
Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' for night to fall
A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
Satin and lace, isn't it a pity
Didn't find time to call
Ready or not, gonna make it to the city
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
So why be lonely?
Sittin' alone, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' to climb the walls
Maybe tonight, depending how your dream goes
She'll open her eyes when he goes to the celebrity ball
Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music
Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music
Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music

For Your Pleasure
For Your Pleasure
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry
Performer(s): Roxy Music; Simple Minds
For your pleasure
In our present state
Part false part true
Like anything
We present ourselves
The words we use tumble
All over your shoulder
Gravel hard and loose
There all night lying
With your dark horse hiding
Abhorring such extremes
You´re rubbing shoulders
With the stars at night
Shining so bright
Getting older
But you´ll wake up soon
And fight
In the morning
Things you worried about
Last night
Will seem lighter
I hope things
Will turn out right
Old man
Through every step a change
You watch me walk away
Tara tara....

Composer(s): K. St. Lewis
Performer(s): Tavares
The ghost of love keeps hauntin' me
Although you're gone, I can't get free
Just when I think (When I think) I'm over you (I'm over you)

Peek-a-boo (Peek-a-boo), I see you (I see you)
May all your nights be full of fright and all your days be blue
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
You went away, I met this girl
Night and day she shared my world
Just when I thought I had forgot
That loving spell you weave so well
Suddenly that look comes on my face
And I start starin' way out of space
I know why the girl stopped comin' 'round
The ghost of love has done run her out of town

This feelin' for you is jumpin' in my chest
No one else can fill the bill
I'll wait for your return and pray that you will
'Round about the midnight hour
I start to feel your lovin' power
Right away I'm tossin' in my sleep
Daybreak finds me wrapped up in my sheets
The ghost of love (Ghost of love)
Is haunting me {Is haunting me} (Haunting me)

Cecilia En La Ciudad
Cecilia En La Ciudad
Performer(s): Víctor Heredia
Como una flor sobre el oscuro andén
con su valija y su tapado azul
Cecilia está clavada en su estupor
sin entender que pasa alrededor
Recién llegó, ha bajado del tren
y qué distinto a su provincia es
este gigante de piedra y metal
Cecilia tiembla y casi va a llorar
Y en su corazón
se marchita el sol
de aquella ilusión
que la hizo viajar
Y Cecilia irá
por la gran ciudad
un fantasma gris
que quiere vivir
Y buscará trabajo en una agencia de colocación
será sirvienta en una casa de familia bien
y tendrá un cuarto sin ventanas en una pensión
Y alguna vez, cansada de tanto soñar
hará pedazos su ilusión y venderá su amor
Y colgará el pared la foto de un galán
y nunca un beso enamorado rozará su piel
y escribirá a su casa y les dirá que todo va bien
Y alguna vez cansada de tanto soñar
hará pedazos su ilusión y venderá su amor
Cecilia...

I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure

I would give you stars above
I'd give the stars if they were mine to give
I'd give the moon every day that I live
To thrill you with delight

The Ghost
The Ghost
Composer(s): Bob Welch
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
Hold on
Until the ghost appears
That day is gonna last for years
Strange wind, is gonna blow through town
Lightnin' is gonna strike us down
Blue hills, are lookin' good to me
I go there, when I'm fast asleep
Ghost town, and the desert wind
Strange sounds, at the worlds end
And then the winds start to blow
And the fire comes scorching down (yeah)
And then the sky dissapears
In the cloud with an awfull sound (yeah)
And when you can't hold out
Then you run to the underground
Just a blue star
Hanging out in space
Earth town is a lovely place
Strange winds coming from the sky
Lovers gotta say goodbye
And then the winds start to blow
And the fire comes scorching down (yeah)
And then the sky dissapears
In the cloud with an awfull sound (yeah)
And when you can't hold out
Then you run to the underground
Look out before the ghost appears
Look out before the ghost appears
Strange winds

Performer(s): Joe Dassin - 1970
Cécilia, ton lit est trop dur
Pourtant on y fait de beaux rêves
O Cécilia, ton vin est trop doux
Mais j'aime son goût sur tes lèvres
Cécilia, quand on a vingt ans
On a tout le temps d'être fidèle
O Cécilia, si tu ne l'es pas
Je ne t'en veux pas pour autant
Tu es belle et dans ton sixième
Quand on s'aime c'est le septième ciel
Et tant pis si quelques fois
Les fleurs que tu reçois sont d'un autre que moi
Cécilia, ton lit est trop dur
Pourtant on y fait de beaux rêves
O Cécilia, ton vin est trop doux
Mais j'aime son goût sur tes lèvres
Tu es belle, tu as vingt ans
Et tu m'aimes pour passer le temps
Et le temps passe et la saison
Viendra où j'aurai seul la clé de ta maison
Cécilia, ton lit est trop dur
Pourtant on y fait de beaux rêves
O Cécilia, ton vin est trop doux
Mais j'aime son goût sur tes lèvres

Performer(s): Sheena Easton;

For your eyes only, can see me through the night
For your eyes only, I never need to hide
You can see so much in me, so much in me that's new
I never felt until I looked at you
For your eyes only, only for you
You'll see what no one else can see
And now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The love I know you need in me
The fantasy you`ve freed in me
Only for you, only for you
For your eyes only, the nights are never cold
You really know me, that's all I need to know
Maybe I`m an open book, because I know you're mine
But you won't need to read between the lines
For your eyes only, only for you
You see what no one else can see
And now I'm breaking free
For your eyes only, only for you
The passions that collide in me
The wild abandoned side of me
Only for you, for your eyes only

The Gasman Cometh
The Gasman Cometh
Performer(s): Flanders & Swann
'Twas on the Monday morning, the Gas man came to call
The gas tap wouldn't turn - I wasn't getting gas at all
He tore out all the skirting boards to try and find the main
And I had to call the carpenterto put them back again
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Tuesday morning. the Carpenter came round
He hammered, and he chiselled, and he said "Look what I've found
Your joists are full of dry rot, but I'll put them all to rights"
Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Wednesday morning the Electrician came
He called me 'Mister Sanderson', which isn't quite my name
He couldn't reach the fuse box without standing on the bin
And his boot went thru a window, so I called a glazier in
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Thursday morning the Glazier came round
With his blowtorch and his putty and his merry glazier sound
He put another pane in - it took no time at all
Then I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
'Twas on the Friday morning the Painter made a start
With undercoats, and overcoats, he painted every part
Every nook and cranny, but I found when he had gone
He'd painted over the gas tap, and I couldn't turn it on!
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do
On Saturday and Sunday they do no work at all
So it was on the Monday morning that the Gas man came to call

O orvalho da noite
Brinca na luz do luar
Quem acredita em sereia
Sabe os segredos do mar
A cachoeira cantando
É a canção natural
Sempre lembrando prá gente
Que amar nunca faz mal
Teu amor é cebola cortada meu bem
Que logo me faz chorar
Teu amor é espinho de mandacarú
Que gosta de me arranhar
Teu olhar é cacimba barrenta meu bem
Que eu gosto de espiá

If they told me, paint a picture
Well, I wouldn't have a clue
But a little word from you, from you
Just a little lovin' word from you
I could paint the whole darn town for you
For you, for you
And if they told me, lead an army
I could lose a war or two
But a little smile from you, from you
Just a little lovin' smile from you
I'd go out and fight the world for you
For you, for you
I never had ambition
To get up, go and do
But since you crossed my vision
I do, I do, I do
Oh, if they told me, build a castle
I would answer, no can do
But a little kiss from you, from you
Just a little lovin' kiss from you
I could build a life of love for two
For you, for you
Well, I never had ambition
To get up and go and do
But since you crossed my vision
I do do do do, I really do
If they told me, build a castle
I would answer, no can do
But a little kiss from you, from you
Just a little lovin' kiss from you
I could build a life of love for two
For you, for you
Maybe for three
Or four or more
For you, for you
