Paradise By The Dashboard Light


Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Composer(s): Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed

Boy:
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been wating so long
For you to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Naure do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
and we were barely

we're gonna go all the way tongiht
we're gonna go all the way
and tonight the night....

Radio Broadcast:
Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
there's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle, look at him go
This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on now, he's not letting up at all
he's gonna try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe - safe at second base, this kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch - he's going, and what a jump he's got
he's trying for third, here's the throw, its in the dirt - safe at third!
Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost daring him to try and pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted down the third base line
the suicide squeeze is on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close, here's the throw
here's the play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!


II. Let Me Sleep On It

Girl:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further!

Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

Girl:
I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever?


III. Praying for the End of Time

Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today

Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Side By Side (Earth, Wind & Fire)


Side By Side
Composer(s): Maurice White; Wayne Vaughn; Wanda Vaughn
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



One year ago, love was touch and go
Time made me see, solved the mystery
Taught me that love and time
Will change your mind and make it right
Bring your darkness to the light
My hearts sings in the night
My love I bring to you

With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, tonight

I can hardly wait, to pick you up at eight
For this rendezvous, candlelight and you
It took ma a long time, to see it clear
That love will last, for many years
Dreams can come true
So I bring my heart to you

With this lovin' I dedicate to you
For believing in me, I will make you mine
Side by side, for love we waited
Side by side, we're dedicated
Side by side, now we can make it
Side by side, we gonna shake it on down
Get down, get down, get down, get down, tonight

We finally found our sunny day
And your love lights up the way
So, I thank you today, for
You believed in me

Paradise (The Ronettes)


Paradise
Composer(s): Perry Botkin Jr.;
Gil Garfield; Harry Nilsson; Phil Spector
Performer(s): The Ronettes;
and various other artists



There is a land I know where lovers go
and flowers grow forevermore
Where time is standing still and lovers fill
The quiet places by the shore
We will cross the rainbow
To a place where we'll be free
Where he'll give his love to me
So I'll wait for the day when he takes me away to...

Chorus:
(Paradise) He'll take me by the hand to
(Paradise) We'll walk along the sand in
(Paradise) A never never land
(Paradise) Wo wo wo

We'll build a castle there so we can share
The happiness we've waited for
While white flamingos fly way up high
Way above the ocean's roar
We will climb a mountain
To see our wonderland
Maybe now you'll understand
Why I've waited for the day when he takes me away to...

(chorus)

(Stand by him) I'll stand by him
(Do right by him) Do right by him
and I swear that I would die for him, die for him

(repeat chorus)

Lilla Stjärna


Lilla Stjärna
Composer(s): Ake Gerhard
First performance by: Alice Babs - 1958



La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la

Natt över land och stad, sovande hus
Rutor som blänker av stjärnornas ljus
Flicka i fönstret står, ser mot det blå
Är bara femton år, tänker ändå

Lilla stjärna i det höga
Svara mig, svara mig
Kommer han som jag ska få så kär?
Ja, du vet nog vem han är
Får jag läsa i hans öga
Samma svar, samma svar
Som jag tycker att du blinkar nu
Lilla stjärna, du?

Kommer han? Kommer han?
Ja, du vet nog vem han är
Får jag läsa i hans öga
Samma svar, samma svar
Som jag tycker att du blinkar nu
Lilla stjärna, du?

She takes me to Paradise

Paradise (John Prine)


Paradise
Composer(s): John Prine
Performer(s): John Prine;
and various other artists



When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn

Chorus:
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill

Repeat Chorus:

Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man

Repeat Chorus:

When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am

Repeat Chorus:

Un Grand Amour


Un Grand Amour
Composer(s): Michel Eric; Monique Laniece; Raymond Roche
First performance by: Solange Berry - 1958



Un grand amour, cela commence
Sans qu'on y pense le plus souvent
Et l'on écoute une romance
Née d'un silence bien émouvant

Car vous savez lorsque l'on s'aime
Les mots eux-mêmes sont de trop
À quoi bon rêver d'un poème
L'instant suprême est bien plus beau

Des yeux qui se détournent vite
Et puis hésitent à revenir
Vers les yeux qui lui sollicitent
Et les invitent à leur sourire

Voilà comment l'amour s'impose
Et vous propose une folie
On ne vit plus l'amour en prose
On la transporte en poésie

Un grand amour, hélas, s'achève
Comme un beau rêve dans un soupir
De nouveau l'ennui vous assiège
La douce trêve vient de finir

Qu'importe que la vie soit brêve
Et que sa sève s'épuise un jour
Si l'amitié prend la relève
Lorsque s'achèvera un grand amour

Si l'amitié prend la relève
Lorsque s'achèvera un grand amour

Para Volver A Volver


Para Volver A Volver
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Para volver a volver
No te marches ahora
De una vez quédate
A ti te falta el coraje
Ese que a mí me sobra
Para nunca volver
Para decir que te vas
Y al doblar esa esquina
Sólo sabes llorar
Para eso no digas nunca
Que no cabe la duda
De que un día te irás
Para volver a volver
Como has vuelto mil veces
Para decir que te vas
Y al final te arrepientes
Deja tu orgullo correr
Deja de hablar y te callas
No digas más que te marchas
No digas más que te marchas
Para volver a volver

Para Volar


Para Volar
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Yo tengo un recuerdo un poco pálido
de una infancia un tanto melancólica
en un patio que era mi república
para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir

Mi padre soñaba ser un pájaro
y volar al norte como brújula
Descubrir algún paisaje bíblico
para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir

Fernando, Fernando vuela arriba
Fernando, Fernando así es la vida
para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir

Y a mi casa no llegó el teléfono
Yo tenía amores telepáticos
Poco a poco me hice más platónico
para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir

Y así fui creciendo como un pájaro
Y volando al norte como brújula
Mi madre dice que soy idéntico
para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir

Fernando, Fernando, vuela arriba
Fernando, Fernando así es la vida
para jugar, para reír, para llorar, para vivir

Dors, Mon Amour


Dors, Mon Amour
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë - Hubert Giraud
First performance by: André Claveau - 1958



Dors, mon amour
Le soleil est encore loin du jour
Nous avons pour aimer tout le temps
Et la nuit nous comprend
Dors, mon amour
Protégée par mes bras qui entourent
Ton sommeil d'un rideau de bonheur
Dors au creux de mon cœur

Je suis un roi qui tient
Tout son royaume en ses doigts
Et qui tremble de voir s'écrouler
Ce royaume enchanté

Dors, mon amour
Ma princesse enfermée dans sa tour
Avec tous les refrains de la nuit
Ma princesse endormie

Je suis ton âme pas à pas
Sur son chemin de joie
Et je m'amuse à me pencher
Sur ton sommeil étoilé

Dors, mon amour
Le soleil est encore loin du jour
Nous avons pour aimer tout le temps
Et la nuit nous comprend
Dors, mon amour
Protégée par mes bras qui entourent
Ton sommeil d'un rideau de bonheur
Dors au creux de mon cœur

J'entends la voix de ta vie
qui bat tout près de moi
Et je sens comme un souffle très doux
Qui caresse ma joue

Dors, mon amour
Ma princesse endormie dans sa tour
J'aperçois le sourire du matin
Voici le soleil de demain
Le grand soleil de l'amour éternel

Para Ti


Para Ti
Composer(s): Luis Arcaraz
Performer(s): Javier Solís



Te vi y otra vez en el amor creí
te entregué toda mi adoración
como rosa en botón

No sé cómo ahora voy a amarte yo
tanto tiempo estuve sin querer
que ya se me olvidó

Voló la libélula de mi ansiedad
y en la flama de mi corazón
sus alitas quemó

Te vi y al mirarte un mundo descubrí
el mundo de una vida que nació para ti

Te vi y al mirarte un mundo descubrí
el mundo de una vida que nació para ti

Sick Again


Sick Again
Composer(s): Jimmy Page; Robert Plant
Performer(s): Led Zeppelin



From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, painted lady in the city of lies
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want, I must be the one you need, yeah
Clutching pages from your teenage dream
In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise
Through the circus of the L.A. queens, how fast your learn the downhill side
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want, I must be the one you need
Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, come on, flash it in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen, then you giggle as you heave and sigh
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want, I must be the one you need
Hours, hours, and the moments in between, oh, baby, I couldn't count the times
The fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', baby, dry those silver eyes
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know I'm the one you want, I must be the one you need
Ooh, that's right

Para Que No Te Enfades


Para Que No Te Enfades
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Para que no te enfades te he traído estas rosas
Para que no preguntes dónde estuve yo sin ti
Ya sé que es madrugada y que me esperas desde anoche
Inquieta y desvelada sin saber nada de mí
Pero me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, estando lejos
Pero me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, por donde este
Es cierto que busqué una ilusión, un algo nuevo
Es cierto que encontré un nuevo mar, donde bebí
Pero me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, estando lejos
Que yo me acuerdo, como ves, de ti, por donde este
Para que no te enfades te he traído estas rosas
Ya sé que es poca cosa para verte ya feliz
No tienes que explicarme, sin hablarme ya me digno
Que piensas que te olvido cuando estoy lejos de ti

Heel De Wereld


Heel De Wereld
First performance by: Corry Brokken - 1958



Heel de wereld moet ik m'n geheim vertellen
Omdat ik gelukkig ben
Heel de wereld gaat voor mij nu dubbel tellen
Omdat ik 't geluk nu ken

Maar heeft deze wereld het niet te druk
Wie heeft er nog tijd voor geluk
Toch wil ik juichen want
Heel de wereld moet ik m'n geheim vertellen
Omdat ik gelukkig ben

Zal ik via kaarten kennis geven
Zal ik adverteren in de krant
Hoe ik het vertel is mij om 't even
Maar het moet door 't land

Maar heeft deze wereld het niet te druk
Wie heeft er nog tijd voor geluk
Toch wil ik juichen want
Heel de wereld moet ik m'n geheim vertellen
Omdat ik gelukkig ben

Para Que Así Me Quieras


Para Que Así Me Quieras
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Beberé sorbo a sorbo la melancolía de las plazas
Y sentiré el rumor del vuelo de las aves
Y escucharé el sonido lejano de los astros
Para que así me quieras

Subiré a las terrazas que miran a las nubes
A espiar las pisadas de la noche abierta
Y el chocar de mariposas contra los cristales de la noche
Para que así me quieras

Para que así me quieras
Cuando inclino la frente para besar tu boca
Y cerrar las heridas que el desamor desata

Para No Pensar En Ti
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro

Para no pensar en ti
Me voy a rodear de gente nueva
Para no pensar en ti
Mi vida ya será de otra manera
Voy a frecuentar lugares
Donde sé que a ti no podré verte
Para no pensar en ti
Para no pensar en ti
Me voy a construir un mundo
Donde nada y nadie a ti me recuerde
Para no pensar en ti
Para no pensar en ti
Porque he prometido
Porque me he jurado
Que este adiós es para siempre
Para no pensar en ti
Me voy hasta inventar palabras nuevas
Para no pensar en ti
En vez de caminar volar quisiera
Todo lo querría cambiar
Por poderte olvidar hasta la muerte
Para no pensar en ti
Para no pensar en ti
Me voy a construir un mundo
Donde nada y nadie a ti me recuerde
Para no pensar en ti
Para no pensar en ti
Porque he prometido
Porque me he jurado
Que este adiós es para siempre

Volare (English Version)


Volare
((Adapted from: Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu - 1958 (aka Volare (by Domenic Modugno) - 1958))
(French Version: Dans Le Bleu Du Ciel Bleu - 1958)
Composer(s): Domenico Modugno; Francesci Migliacci; Mitchell Parish
Performer(s): Dean Martin - 1958
and multiple other artists



Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find

Volare, oh oh
E contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito

Volare, oh oh
E contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me

Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
