He Was Beautiful


He Was Beautiful
Composer(s): Cleo Laine; Stanley Myers
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey; and various other artists



He was beautiful
Beautiful to my eyes
From the moment I saw him
The sun filled the sky
He was so, so beautiful

Beautiful just to hold
In my dreams he was springtime
Winter was cold
How could I tell him

What I so clearly could see
Though I longed for him
Another ...
Trusted me completely, so I never could be free
It was beautiful

Knowing now that he cares
I will always remember moments we shared
Now it's all over

Still the feelings ling' on
For my dream keeps returning
Now that he's gone
For it was beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful to be loved

Spirit On The Water


Spirit On The Water
Composer(s): Les Holroyd
Performer(s): Barclay James Harvest



There's a spirit floating
On the water
There's a shadow lying
Down by the shore
Wasn't there a year before?
A sacrifice for the coat
He's wearing
A "paradise" for the lady

Who dares
Colour him red upon the snow?

We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the state you're in
Or don't you understand?

There's a spirit floating
On the water
See the shadow lying
Down by the shore
Wasn't there some years ago??

We carry the burden upon our shoulder
We carry their lives in the palm of our hand
Don't you care about the world your in
Or don't you understand?

He Vuelto A Casa


He Vuelto A Casa
Performer(s): José Feliciano



Fui pintando de nostalgia y recuerdos de la infancia
el destino que la vida me eligió
encontré por el camino gente buena, gente mala
paraísos y una que otra tentación

Tu me diste la confianza para ver desde mi alma
la grandeza de este mundo con los ojos del amor

Estas manos que le dieron voz y vida a mi guitarra
maduraron sobre un cuerpo de mujer
aprendí con las caídas que el sendero no se anda
si no tienes un amor en quien creer

A pesar de la distancia de las cosas que uno pasa
a pesar de ser un hombre me hace falta tu querer

He vuelto a casa abrázame mama
hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar
tu nieto fue varón y tiene el corazón
igual al del abuelo que no está
He vuelto a casa abrázame mama
hay tantas cosas para recordar
hoy traigo el porvenir lejano para mi
el día que tu me viste partir

He vuelto a casa abrázame.....abrázame otra vez

Fui cantando por la vida mis canciones más queridas
a mi isla le compuse un le lo lai
no imaginas cuantas veces tus plegarias vieja mía
me ayudaron a seguir un poco más

Siempre que vuelvo a tu lado algo nuevo del pasado
me recuerda lo importante que tu eres para mi

He vuelto a casa abrázame mama
hay tantas cosas nuevas que contar......

We All


We All
Composer(s): Deivido Zvonkaus
First performance by: B'Avarija - 2002



I know we're far away
A million miles
I know that we can't
See your eyes
But just for you we wrote this happy song
Now everybody sing along

We all
Wanna brave the hottest heights
Wanna fly to highest skies
Wanna see a million smiles

We all
Wanna hold each other's hands
Wanna laugh and sing and dance
We're together
We're best friends

And if we're watching different TV news
Or different languages we use
That doesn't matter
Love is common thing
Now we're together
Let us sing

We all
Wanna brave the hottest heights
Wanna fly to highest skies
Wanna see a million smiles

We all
Wanna hold each other's hands
Wanna laugh and sing and dance
We're together
We're best friends

We all
Wanna brave the hottest heights
Wanna fly to highest skies
Wanna see a million smiles

We all
Wanna hold each other's hands
Wanna laugh and sing and dance
We're together
We're best friends

We all

He Touched Me (Bill Gaither)


He Touched Me
Composer(s): Bill Gaither; Gloria Gaither
Performer(s): Bill Gaither;
and various other artists



Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same

He touched me, Oh He touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

Since I met this blessed Savior
Since He cleansed and made me whole
I will never cease to praise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls

He touched me, Oh He touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul!
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

He Touched Me (Barbra Streisand)


He Touched Me
Composer(s): Ira Levin; Milton Schafer
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand;
and various other artists



He touched me
He put his hand near mine and then he touched me

I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
a sparkle, a glow
Oh, he knew it
It wasn’t accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seemed to tell me so, all through it
He knew it, I know

He’s real and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive toward Valentining

He touched me
I simply have to face the fact: he touched me
Control myself and try to act as if I remember my name

But he touched me
He touched me and suddenly nothing is the same
'Cause he touched me
He touched me and suddenly nothing
He touched me and suddenly nothing
He touched me and suddenly nothing
is the same

Happy You


Happy You
Composer(s): Aivaras Stepukonis
First performance by: Aivaras Stepukonis - 2002



Wanna show to you alone
The world around us, high and low
Glowing stars and dancing moon
Happy I 'cause happy you

Close your eyes and make a wish
Could it be a scorching kiss?
You're my sweetest mountain dew, (baby)
Happy I 'cause happy you
For our dreams come true, they always do

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

Love brings passion, love brings joy
Love brings riches we enjoy
All is wonder, all is new, (baby)
Happy I 'cause happy you
For our dreams come true, they always do

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

(Watching the sunrise)
Babe, it looks great
(Singing a love song)
Babe, it sounds great

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you

Watching the sunrise

He Took Her For A Sleigh Ride (In The Good Old Summertime)


He Took Her For A Sleigh Ride
(In The Good Old Summertime)
Composer(s): Jerome S. Gottler
Performer(s): Billy Murray



Here's a story all about
An innocent young girl
It happened on the midway
In a carnival's gay whirl

Attracted by a manly voice
How could she sense the danger
She found herself enchanted
By a dashing, dapper stranger

Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime
This Coney Island barker
With a bankroll of a dime

His suave and silky manner
Made her heart go pitter-pat
Her mother should have told her
To beware of men like that

He charmed her so with words so sweet
What harm this guy was doing her
To make her woe and shame complete
He ended up tatooing her

He dragged her down and down and down
Was such an awful crime
Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the middle of July
This city slicker
He'll put out the twinkle in her eye

He promised her a fortune
Said he'd put her name in lights
She wound up in the sideshow
Wearing purple, spangled tights

On Monday nights she'd be Suzette
The wild girl from Borneo
Tuesday nights she'd holler
"Get your peanuts and popcorneo"

She did it all because she thought
That wedding bells would chime
But he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Oh, this story has a moral
That the whole world ought to hear
So settle down and listen
And stop crying in your beer

Some of you have daughters
Or a sister you respect
So keep them from this maiden's fate
Before their lives are wrecked

She paid the price for her mistake
With grief I sadly speak of her
His heart was ice, the lowly stink
He went and made a freak of her

Now if you want to see her
You will have to pay a dime
Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Spirit In The Night


Spirit In The Night
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



In the summer that I was baptized
My father held me to his side
As they put me to the water
He said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners of love, a love in chains
He was standin' in the door, I was standin' in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Adam raised a Cain

All of the old faces
Ask you why you're back
They fit you with position
And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room
Your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces, the places, the names
You know it's never over, it's relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain

In the Bible Cain slew Abel
And east of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying
For the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain
Lost but not forgotten
From the dark heart of a dream
Adam raised a Cain

He Stopped Loving Her Today


He Stopped Loving Her Today
Composer(s): Bob Braddock; Claude Putman, Jr.
Performer(s): George Jones



He said "I'll love you till I die" she told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red every single "I love you"

I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time.
Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin' through my mind "this time he's over her for good"

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

I Wanna


I Wanna
Composer(s): Marija Naumova - Marats Samauskis
First performance by: Marie N - 2002



I'd like to go away, but it's easier to say
That you know all the tricks that make... that make me stay
I'm ready to support this artful game you always play
'Cause you don't know the fee that you will later, later pay

Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king
You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing

I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes

Ay ay ay ay ay ay...

I like a simple game, but it's just easier to say
That you own all that rules your crazy, crazy way
And even though you'll go on doing whatever... whatever you may
Just remember - it's me who find you when... when you was stray

Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king
You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing

I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes

I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes

Ay ay ay ay ay ay...

He Sabido Que Te Amaba


He Sabido Que Te Amaba
Composer(s): Luigi Tenco; Gil Luano; Guiu Clara
Performer(s): Javier Solís;
and various other artists



He sabido que te amaba
cuando he visto que tardabas en llegar
y sentí desvanecer mi indiferencia
al temer que no volvieras nunca más

He sabido que te amaba
cuando hablas y me miras con pasión
y apaciguas con tu cálida palabra
el recelo al estar mi corazón

Recordaba que hace pocos días
decía a mis amigos no creo en el amor
y no quiero tener más ilusiones
ver cómo se burlan si hablas del amor, del amor

He sabido que te amaba
pero es tarde para que me vuelva atrás
quise ser indiferente un instante
pero sé que no podré dejar de amarte

Recordaba que hace pocos días
decía a mis amigos no creo en el amor
y no quiero tener más ilusiones
ver cómo se burlan si hablas del amor, del amor

He sabido que te amaba
pero es tarde para que me vuelva atrás
quise ser indiferente un instante
pero sé que no podré dejar de amarte

Spiral (Jethro Tull)


Spiral
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue
Lined with poppy girls
I didn't stop, stop to say hello
Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac
Looked me over
Thought it best, best that I should go
Don't wake me: I'm falling
Slow spiral into morning
Who's out there? Can't hear you
Ears covered - early warning
Alarm bells ringing
Time to make my peace with the dreary day

I waited atbles - I was tipped in roubles
Wine to water
Was the best that I could do
Wild office parties split the silence
Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two

Down the spiral, spinning madly
Gathering momentum
On a disneyesque adventure ride
I fly in colours from richer palettes
Famous artists running scared as worlds collide

Hello, I Love You


Hello, I Love You
Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger;
Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

Tell Me Why (Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel)


Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Ionel Tudor - Mirela Voiculescu Fugaru
First performance by: Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel - 2002



We are behaving like two strangers in the gloomy night
We have lost so many feelings in this endless fight
If you want to go away, now I must obey
But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart

Tell me why we have to say goodbye
Was our love only a foolish lie?
Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry
No more tears, no more fears
Nothing more to share together

If you want to go away, now I must obey
But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart

Tell me why we have to say goodbye
Why we broke our wings in flight
Tell me why couldn't we just try
To forgive and believe we can reach the sky

Tell me why we have to say goodbye
Was our love only a foolish lie?
Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry
No more tears, no more fears
Nothing more to share together

Tell me why

He Pleases Me


He Pleases Me
Composer(s): Henry Mancini; Robert Wells
Performer(s): Henry Mancini



He's no more than a man
Nothing special that you'd run to see
He's a child to be sure, at times insecure
But he pleases me

Oh when I'm in his arms
And the last little star slowly dies
I'm enchanted to be the me
That I see in his eyes

He's a man, nothing more
Sort of clumsy and absent of mind
Not the kind of a beau I dreamed long ago
That I would find

He's my lover, my friend
What more could I ask him to be
So in our little plot
The mystery is what he sees in me

Why is it I never doubt him
When I've known all along
Now and then the very best of men must roam
Sure I get lonely without him

But a man, right or wrong
The more you bind him
The less you'll find him home

He's no more than a man
Just a weaver of wishes and dreams
Very shy, he's mature
The man he needs to be
And he pleases me
