Heaven Is A Place On Earth


Heaven Is A Place On Earth
Composer(s): Rick Nowels; Ellen Shipley
Performer(s): Belinda Carlisle;
and various other artists



When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world’s alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we’re spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I’m lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we’re just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I’m not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that’s worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We’ll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

Haunted Heart


Haunted Heart
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Performer(s): Susannah McCorkle; and various other artists



In the night, though we're apart
There's a ghost of you within my haunted heart
Ghost of you, my lost romance...
Lips that kiss, eyes that dance

Haunted heart won't let me be
Dreams repeat a sweet and lonely song to me
Dreams are dust; it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart

Be still, my haunted heart

Time rolls on, trying in vain to cure me
You are gone, yet you remain to allure me
You're there in the dark, and I call
You're there, but you're not there at all

Oh, what will I do without you, without you?
Haunted heart won't set me free
Dreams repeat a sweet and lonely song to me
Dreams are dust; it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart
Be still, my haunted heart

Sparrow


Sparrow
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Simon & Garfunkel - 1964



Who will love a little sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree
"I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest
And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast"

Who will love a little sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan
"The entire idea is utterly absurd
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other swans heard"

Who will take pity in his heart
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat
"I would if I could but I cannot I know
I need all my grain to prosper and grow"

Who will love a little sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth
"For all I've created returns unto me
From dust ye made and dust ye shall be"

Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away


Heaven Is 10 Zillion Light Years Away
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
Paul Johnson; Ann Nesby; Richard Page



They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
And just the pure at heart will walk her righteous streets someday
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if there is a God, we need Him now
"Where is your God"
That's what my friends ask me
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...

Tell me people
Why can't they say that hate is 10 zillion light years away
Why can't the light of good shine God's love in every soul
Why must my color black make me a lesser man
I thought this world was made for every man
He loves us all, that's what my God tells me
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...

But in my heart I can feel it, yeah,
Feel His spirit wow oh woo...
Feel it, yeah, feel His spirit...

I... can't say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if so let all be pure at heart
Just to walk her righteous streets I pray
Let God's love shine within to save our evil souls
For those who don't believe will never see the light
"Where is my God" - He lives inside of me
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...
No people, "where is your God?"
Inside please let Him be
And I say it's taken Him so long
'Cause we've got so far to come...

But if you open your heart you can feel it yeah yeah
Feel His spirit, yeah
Feel it, feel His spirit, wow oh wow...
Feel it, you can feel His spirit
I opened my heart one morning and
I sho nuff could feel it yeah yeah
Feel His spirit yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit

Hats Off To The Stranger


Hats Off To The Stranger
Composer(s): Bob McBride; McGraw; Skip Prokop
Performer(s): Lighthouse



Walkin' down by the river
Hangin' down my head
I chanced to stop for a moment
A stranger beckoned and then he said

"Walk down the road of life, a-happy as can be
But not so happy, yeah, that you can't see
Be very careful, mm-hmm, everywhere you go
Take it very slow"

Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows
I said, Lord, I here ya
And I'm walkin' slow
Just a singin' Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin' grow-ow-ow-ow

Walkin' down by the river
His words warmin' up my soul
He called to me from the other side
"There's one more thing ya gotta know, yeah"

"Nobody's perfect, boy, not me or you
It doesn't matter what you say or do
But you could be singin', yeah, a better tune
Singin' whoa-oh-oh"

"Yeah, all the things that I have said
You've probably heard them all before
But the way that you'll hear them from me
Is like you never heard them before"

Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows
I said, Lord, I here ya
And I'm walkin' slow, yeah
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows
I said, Lord, I here ya
And I'm walkin' slow
Yeah, I said
Hats off to the stranger
For tellin' me what he knows
I said, Lord, I here ya
And I'm walkin' slow
Just a singin' Hallelujah, oh yeah, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin' grow
A little louder
Hallelujah, sing it out loud, Hallelujah
Let a little sunshine down on me
Make this feelin' grow

Je N'ai Que Mon Âme


Je N'ai Que Mon Âme
Composer(s): J. Kapler
First performance by: Natasha St. Pier - 2001



Puisqu'il faut dire, puisqu'il faut parler de soi
Puisque ton coeur ne brûle plus comme autrefois
Même si l'amour, je crois, ne se dit pas
Mais puisqu'il faut parler alors écoute-moi

Mais je n'ai que mon âme
Pour te parler de moi
Oh juste mon âme
Mon âme et ma voix
Si fragiles flammes
Au bout de mes doigts
Dérisoires armes
Pour parler de moi

Même si tu dis que je fais partie de toi
Que notre histoire nous suivra pas à pas
Je sais tellement que l'amour a ses lois
S'il faut le sauver alors écoute-moi

Mais je n'ai que mon âme
Pour te parler de moi
Oh juste mon âme
Mon âme et ma voix
Et mon corps qui s'enflamme
Au son de ta voix
Je ne suis qu'une femme
Qui t'aime tout bas

Mais que Dieu me damne
Si j'oublie ma voie
Que la vie me condamne
Si tu n'es plus ma loi
Et s'éteint cette flamme
Qui brûle pour toi
Je n'ai que mon âme
Pour parler de moi
Je n'ai que mon âme
Pour parler de moi

Each time you smile at me, my darling
There’s heaven in your smile for me
The lovelight in your eyes, my darling

And we’ll go through the years together
With the heaven I found in your smile

Hats Off To Larry


Hats Off To Larry
Composer(s): Del Shannon
Performer(s): Del Shannon



Once I had a pretty girl
Her name it doesn't matter
She went away with another guy
Now he won't even look at her

Hats off to Larry
He broke your heart
Just like you broke mine when you
Said we must part
He told you lies, now it's
Your turn to cry-cry-cry
Now that Larry said goodbye to you

I know this may sound strange
I want you back, I think you'll change
But there's one more thing
I gotta say

Hats off to Larry
It may sound cruel
But you laughed at me when you
Said we were through
You told me lies, now it's
Your turn to cry-cry-cry
Now that Larry said goodbye to you

Sparkling Brown Eyes


Sparkling Brown Eyes
Composer(s): Billy Cox
Performer(s): Webb Pierce
and multiple other artists



There's a ramshackle shack
In old Caroline
It's callin' me back
To the girl of mine
Those two brown eyes
I'm longin' to see
Oh, the girl of my dreams
She will always be

Those two brown eyes
That sparkle with love
Came down to me
From heaven above
If I could fly
Like a beautiful dove
I'd fly to the arms
Of the one that I love

Those two brown eyes
That sparkle with love
Came down to me
From heaven above
If I could fly
Like a beautiful dove
I'd fly to the arms
Of the one that I love

Heaven Help Us All


Heaven Help Us All
Composer(s): Ron Miller
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
and various other artists



Heaven help the child who never had a home
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall
Heaven help us all

Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl
Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call
Oh, yeah!

Heaven help the boy who won't reach twenty-one
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall
Lord, Heaven help us all

Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all
Heaven help us, Lord, hear our call when we call

Now I lay me down before I go to sleep
In a troubled world, I pray the Lord to keep, keep hatred from the mighty
And the mighty from the small
Heaven help us all
Oh, oh, oh, yeah!
Heaven help us all

Hate Everything About You


Hate Everything About You
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Steve Lukather
Performer(s): Toto



Night after night, day after day
I pass by the house that once was our home
I look through the windows, I lean on the bell
There’s a light but there’s no sign of you
The stranger’s new car in the driveway tells me you're there
I know you’re there
I feel like a chump doing time on the street
Low life and useless as the rags on my feet showin’ through
You don’t know how much I hate everything about you

Your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue
The curve of your hips and your black irish hair
Sends a shiver that runs through me too
You don’t know how much I hate you, wish it was true
The alleys are dark, sidewalks are bare
Time’s on my hands empty and cold
I’m looking for something to knock out the night
Till the sun comes up shining like new
The chill in my bones reminds me life isn’t fair and nobody cares
To the lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice
In a world just as nasty as your world is nice (baby blue)
You don’t know how much I hate everything about you

Your voice like good bourbon so elegant, tasteful and smooth
You’re a goddess, a priestess, a temptress, a queen
Greta Garbo’s got nothing on you
You don’t know how much I hate you, wish it was true
You were kind to my brother and good to my friends
You were passionate, faithful and strong
I must have been sleeping
It feels like a dream
I can’t tell just where I went wrong
Like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head
I’m strung out and crazy and can’t find the thread, running through
You don’t know how much I hate everything about you

The poison that runs through my veins telling me what to do
With a flick of a match I could burn down this house
Taking every last memory of you
You don’t know how much I hate you
I say, you don’t know how much I hate you
You don’t know how much I hate you
I wish it was true
Oh, yes I do

Dile Que La Quiero


Dile Que La Quiero
Composer(s): Alejandro Abad
First performance by: David Civera - 2001



Si la ves pregúntale
que siente
si aún le queda algo
de ese amor que nos unió

si la encuentras
algo differente
entrala en razon
y hazme este favor

háblale, insistele
que nos han hecho daño
que todo es mentira

dile que la quiero
que siempre fui sincero
dile que me estoy volviendo
loco por una tonteria

dile que navego
entre el amor y el miedo
dile me esta matando
esta melancolia

si la ves recuerdale
que tiene
de par en par las puertas
de mi corazón

dile que mis lagrimas
no entienden
por que no está conmigo
en esta habitación

Háblale, insistele
que nos han hecho daño
que todo es mentira

Heaven Help The Child


Heaven Help The Child
Composer(s): Glen Burtnik; Kasim Sulton
Performer(s): Kasim Sulton



A paper rainbow hangs in the room
Dolls on the nightstand, a bride and a groom
Outside the window dogs howl at the moon
Heaven help the child

Ting fingers, nails painted red
Clutching a blanket, pulled over her head
Praying no monsters are under the bed
Heaven help the child

She needs someone to wake her everyday
Someone to hold her hand and lead the way
She needs someone to put the pieces back again
When her little heart is broken

Chalked colored sidewalks and castles of sand
Wells full of wishes and a story of plans
Someday they'll be changes she won't understand
Heaven help the child

She needs someone to hold her everyday
Someone to kiss her tears away
She needs someone to put the pieces back again
When her little heart is broken

A paper rainbow hangs in the room
Two dolls on the nightstand, a bride and a groom
One little angle will be growing up soon
Heaven help the child
Heaven help the child

Hasta Venecia


Hasta Venecia
Composer(s): F. Delguet; Don Diego
Performer(s): Raphael



No creas que hace falta un bello atardecer para el amor
Ni el clima tan romántico y primaveral que hay en Venecia
Es bastante saber que tú sientes igual que siento yo
Y que sufres también si te falta el calor de mi presencia
No creas que es preciso oír el ruiseñor en el jardín
Ni ver nacer las rosas junto a tu balcón para querernos
Cuando llega el amor no hace falta ya más
Pues todo en ti se convierte a su vez
En un sueño feliz que ha de envolvernos
No creas que el que ama tiene que cantar y sonreír
Y estar continuamente hablando de su amor a su adorada
Cuando estoy junto a ti yo no sé de qué hablar ni qué decirte
No hay lenguaje mejor que el que pueda expresar una mirada
Por eso de la mano yo te enseñaré que en el amor
Lo único que importa para no fallar es la clemencia y saber entregar
No exigir y evitar causar dolor no hace falta ya más
No es preciso marchar los dos hasta Venecia

Spare Parts


Spare Parts
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen



Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby wasn't any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day
Bobby got scared and he ran away
Jane moved in with here ma out on Shawnee Lake
She sighed ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake
She settled in in a back room time passed on
Later that winter a son came along

Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around

Now Janey walked that baby across the floor night after night
But she was a young girl and she missed the party lights
Meanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patch
Bobby heard about his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back

Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around

Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton
Put her baby in the river let the river roll on
She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay
Got down on her knees cried till she prayed
Mist was on the water low run the tide
Janey held her son down at the riverside
Waist deep in water how bright the sun shone
She lifted him in her arms and carried him home
As he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everything
Went to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ring
Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash
Went straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash

Spare parts and broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around

Heaven For Everyone


Heaven For Everyone
Composer(s): Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Queen;
Cross; One Vision



This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
This could be heaven
For everyone

In these days of cool reflection, you come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affectons you sit by me and everything's fine

This could be heaven for everyone, this world could be fed, this world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone, this would could be free, this world could be one

In this world of cool deception, just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel reflection, you come to me soothe my troubled mind

This could be heaven for everyone, this world could be fed, this world could be fun

This should be love for everyone, this world should be free, this world could be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons, love, love, love, love

This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven for everyone

Listen
What people do to other souls, they take their lives, destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity, stripped and torn and show no pity

This could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, this could be heaven, this could be heaven for everyone
For everyone

Hasta Mañana


Hasta Mañana
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Qué fría es la soledad
y el vacío de mi alma, mi alma
que va muriendo
sin tu mirada

Tan difícil olvidar
tu promesa de un mañana, de un mañana
y aquellos besos
en tus palabras

Tú me dijiste que tu amor
podría resistir
el tiempo de un "adiós
hasta mañana"

Otra vez la oscuridad
de la noche y las lágrimas, lágrimas
llega el silencio
y luego nada

Y así miento la verdad
del recuerdo de un mañana, mañana
que ya es un sueño
apenas nada

Tú me dijiste que tu amor...

Without Your Love (Gary O'Shaughnessy)


Without Your Love
Composer(s): Pat Sheridan
First performance by: Gary O'Shaughnessy - 2001



I don't want to live my life without you
I don't ever want to say goodbye
'Cause you're the only one that I am here for
Never want to see you cry

But I can't go on (Can't go on)
Oh no
No, I can't go on (I can't go on)
Oh no

Without your love, without your heart
I'd be lost here, in the dark
I just don't know
Where would I be without your love?
You're the light in the dark

I want to wake up with you beside me
I will never let this feeling die
I just want to be here in the morning
To see the sunlight in your eyes

But I can't go on (Can't go on)
Oh no
No, I can't go on (I can't go on)
Oh no

Without your love, without your heart
I'd be lost here, in the dark
I just don't know
Where would I be without your love?

Without your love, without your heart
I'd be lost here, in the dark
I just don't know
Where would I be without your love?
You're the light in the dark

Só Sei Ser Feliz Assim


Só Sei Ser Feliz Assim
First performance by: MTM - 2001



Yeah... whoa yeah...

Ainda me lembro mas eu já não sei
Se o meu segredo a ti o contei
Ando à deriva, procuro o teu mar
É a tua ilha que eu quero encontrar

E é no teu beijo que eu encontro o feitiço
No teu abraço o calor de que eu preciso
No teu olhar um desejo atrevido
Com o teu amor tudo faz sentido

Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim
Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim
Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim

Pr'além da razão, nasce a magia
Cristais de ilusão, és a minha fantasia

E é no teu beijo que eu encontro o feitiço
No teu abraço o calor de que eu preciso
No teu olhar um desejo atrevido
Com o teu amor tudo faz sentido

Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim
Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim
Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim

Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim
Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim
Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim

Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim (Ai, eu só sei)
Como o teu beijo abraçado a mim (Como o teu beijo)
Ai, eu só sei ser feliz assim (Ai, eu só sei)
Louco, perdido por ti até ao fim

Heaven Drops Her Curtain Down


Heaven Drops Her Curtain Down
Composer(s): S. Mysels; G. Mysels
Performer(s): Jerry Vale; Jo Stafford



Heaven drops her curtain down and sunset silhouettes the town
Autumn breezes sweep the ground and scatter memories all around
Memories of a lovely night I might have made you mine
Here am I demanding consolation from the one
Consolation for the tears, the bitter taste of wasted years
Wasted like the words so dear, we never spoke yet longed to hear
Longed to hear and yearned to answer
Never more to part, no more to part
Till heaven drops her curtain down upon my heart
Long to hear and yearn to answer
Never more to part,no more to part
Till heaven drops her curtain down upon my heart
