Hold On (Benjamin Orr)


Hold On
Composer(s): Benjamin Orr; Diane Grey Page
Performer(s): Benjamin Orr



Well you sure look good tonight
I think I've come to see sunlight
Come on, hold on to me
Belong to me

You know that love looks good on you
In what you say and what you do
Come on, hold on to me
It's all I need

I gotta do the _____ in time __________
Not a thing to show for all the times I've tried
Now we just can't seem to wipe the smile away
And you gave it to me

Give it up - I'm feeling something beautiful
Look at this - we're starting to be suitable to me
Every day I find what you got into us
Can't seem to get enough of you

When you're away, I dream that you...
Come on and hold on to me
Belong to me

And so it never really ends
You mend the hurts that never mend
Come on, hold on to me
It's all I need

Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya...

Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see
Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you
And what did I do before?

Can't believe that this is really happening
All the hurtful days are finally vanishing
Making all the fantasies realities
We could be in for some surprises

I know it - you know it too.
Before you think of compromises
Just realize it's only here for you

Yeah, you sure look good tonight
I think I've finally seen sunlight
Come on, hold on to me
It's all I need.

And so it never really ends
You mend the hurts that never mend
Come on and hold on to me

Belong to me

Gotta make for bringing out the best to me
When the love is is right, it's possible to see you so clearly
All my life I wondered would it come to me

(come to me)

Then you brought it to me
Can't believe that this is really happening
All the hurtful days are finally vanishing
Making all your fantasies realities

Where did all what I had in my run for me, guess ya...
Gotta take the blinders off so that you can see
Not a thought comes by that doesn't hang on you
And what did I do before?

Steel Rail Blues


Steel Rail Blues
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
First recording/First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1964/1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I got my mail late last night
A letter from a girl who found the time to write
To her lonesome boy somewheres in the night
She sent me a railroad ticket, too
To take me to her lovin' arms
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

Well I bin out here many a long days
I haven't found a place that I could call my own
Not a two-bit bed to lay my body on
I bin stood up, I bin shook down
I bin dragged into the sand
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

Ooooh-oooo-oo-whu-hu-hoo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo

Well I bin up tight most every night
Walkin' along the streets of this old town
Not a friend around to tell my troubles to
My good old car, she done broke down
'Cause I drove it into the ground
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

Well, I look over yonder across the plain
The big drive wheels are poundin' along the ground
Gonna get on board and I'll be homeward bound
Now I ain't had a home cooked meal
And Lord, I need one now
And the big steel rail gonna carry me home to the one I love

Ooooh-oooo-oo-whu-hu-hoo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo

Well, here I am with my head in the sand
Standin' on the broad highway, will you give a ride
To a lonesome boy who missed the train last night
I went in town for one last round
And I gambled my ticket away
And the big steel rail won't carry me home to the one I love

Ooooh-oooo-oo-whu-hu-hoo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Ooooh-oooo-oo-whu-hu-hoo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo
Yee-hee-heee

Performer(s): The Rutles



I'm not the kind of guy who likes to play big brother
But I've just seen your date outside, he's with another
I saw you both come in
Clearly you're not meant for him, so
Please, please hold my hand
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand and I'll see you home

I want to tell you I'm in love with you completely
I'd like to take you far away from here, discretely
Our love was meant to be
and darling, it's a certainty, oh
Please, please hold my hand

Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand, yeah, yeah
Hold my hand and I'll see you home

Drama Queen


Drama Queen
Composer(s): Simon Munk - Peter Andersen - Claus Christensen First performance by: DQ - 2007



When the sun is setting at the end of the day
And the city fills with shades of grey
In between the streetlight and the moonlit snow
There's a place I go
Where I do my show

I'm your drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are on
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight

It's a space in time where every dream comes true
And tomorrow's sorrows just won't do
In between reality and fantasy
I will make you see
If you just believe

I'm your drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are on
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight

No more use pretending
No more reason to run and hide
Let's make all our dreams come true tonight

I'm you drama queen tonight
All my troubles are out of sight
When the lights are far
I will be your shining star
I'm your drama queen tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
When I get on the stage tonight
Oh... 'cause I'm your drama queen tonight

Performer(s): Don Cornell;

So this is the kingdom of heaven
So this is the sweet promised land
While angels tell of love, don't break the spell of love
Hold my hand

So this is the garden of Eden
In dreams it was never so grand
Let's never leave again, Adam and Eve again
Hold my hand

This is the secret of what bliss is
For bliss is what your kiss is
At last I understand

So this is the kingdom of heaven
And here on the threshold we stand
Pass through the portal now, we'll be immortal now
Hold my hand

So this is the kingdom of heaven
And here on the threshold we stand
Pass through the portal now, we'll be immortal now
Hold my hand
Hold my hand

Steel Guitar Rag


Steel Guitar Rag
Composer(s): Leon McAuliff - Merle Travis - Cliff Stone
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists



Been runnin' around, seen many a town
and maybe you'll find I'm the kind of guy that brags
But listen to me and see if you don't agree
No melody rolls like that old steel guitar rag

And when they slide that thing, along those strings
It sounds so dogone heavenly, you can hear the Angels sing
And when you stomp your feet, your heart will beat
A rhythm to the old steel guitar rag

You may be kind choosy, 'bout the kind of songs you hear
You maybe like them blusey, makes you cry right in your beer
But if you want a song that's bound to dry away your tears
Make happy your soul with that old steel guitar rag

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me


Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me
Composer(s): Harry Noble
Performer(s): Karen Chandler;
and various other artists



Hold me, hold me
Never let me go until you've told me, told me
What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me
Make me tell you I'm in love with you

Thrill me (thrill me), thrill me (thrill me)
Walk me down the lane where shadows will be (will be), will be (will be)
Hiding lovers just the same as we'll be, we'll be
When you make me tell you I love you

They told me "Be sensible with your new love"
"Don't be fooled, thinking this is the last you'll find"
But they never stood in the dark with you, love
When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind

Kiss me (kiss me), kiss me (kiss me)
And when you do, I'll know that you will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me)
If we ever say "Adieu", so kiss me, kiss me
Make me tell you I'm in love with you

(Kiss me) kiss me, (kiss me) kiss me
When you do, I'll know that you will miss me (miss me), miss me (miss me)
If we ever say "Adieu" so kiss me, kiss me
Make me tell you I'm in love with you

(Hold me, thrill me)
(Never, never, never let me go)
(Hold me, thrill me, never, never, never let me go)

(Hold me, thrill me, never, never, never let me go)

Comme Ci Comme Ça


Comme Ci Comme Ça
First performance by: Evridiki - 2007



Tous les lundis, tu finis
Le travail trop tard puis
La télé et sommeil
Quand mon cœur se réveille
Tous les mardis tu me dis
Le matin et tu l'oublies
On ira au ciné
Et le soir “désolé”

Comme ci, comme ça
La vie passe
Et les beaux moments nous dépassent
Comme ci, comme ça
L’amour casse
Routine et paresse nous menacent
Comme ci, comme ça
Je n’en peux plus
Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue
Je reste pas là
Comme ci, comme ça
La fin voilà
Comme ci, comme ça

Même les samedis à minuit
Tu me dis déjà “Bonne Nuit”
Tu t’endors quand je sors
En te chantant très fort

Comme ci, comme ça
La vie passe
Et les beaux moments nous dépassent
Comme ci, comme ça
L’amour casse
Routine et paresse nous menacent
Comme ci, comme ça
Je n’en peux plus
Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue
Je reste pas là
Comme ci, comme ça
La fin voilà
Comme ci, comme ça

Comme ci, comme ça
La vie passe
Et les beaux moments nous dépassent
Comme ci, comme ça
L’amour casse
Routine et paresse nous menacent
Comme ci, comme ça
Je n’en peux plus
Je suis déçue, tu m'as perdue
Je reste pas là
Comme ci, comme ça
La fin voilà
Comme ci, comme ça

Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes


Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Two broken hearts
Neither one knows what to say
Both falling for love
But not quite all the way

Look at us now
Reaching back to yesterday
Longing to know
If they are the ones to stay

After all I'm the one who said we're through
Now I can't live without anymore
Out there lost is the dream that can't come true
Is it worth the reaching for
Don't you want me anymore, darling

Hold me till the morning comes
Until I see your smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the morning sun
Let me stay we've just begun

oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Where shall we start
Tender words that we can share
Different believes
In time we will get there

Look at us now
Wanting more than words can say
Both falling for love
But distant all the way

Out there lost are the words I still love you
But they worth the reaching for
Do you love me anymore, darling

(chorus)

Hold me till the morning comes
Until I see your smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the morning sun
Let me stay we've just begun
I wanna stay with you

(chorus)

Would you love me in the morning
We used to be there in the morning
Would you leave without a warning
Say you love me too

(3 times)

Steel Eyes


Steel Eyes
Composer(s): Shawn Phillips
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips



I talk to the lady with the steel gray eyes
While the sun is going down
And we talk of the things that we wish to know
But she's really not around
And the sunset on the mountain is the same color
As her cascade chestnut hair
For forgetting your past
So now why the distant stare?
Could it be there is someone who remains in her heart
And she cares

And the ice of her kisses lingers on and on
And the image of her body live
Yet you walked on black sand by the sea's turmoil
In the dark of a velvet night
Then you sat down and gave your hands to be kissed and loved
Could not you hear a gentle sigh?
And by the stars part control of your wandering life
Do you believe in not telling lies?
But it was good that you were warm on your way back home
Short love, goodbye

Hold Me Tighter In The Rain


Hold Me Tighter In The Rain
Composer(s): John Barnes; Billy Griffin; Donald Griffin
Performer(s): Billy Griffin



Many times we been this way
Just another walk in the rain
But you know it isn't like before
Darling, that's over, you said it's over

If we held each other near
Remembering the time, never fear
Why can't we make it feel the way it did
Darling, say it's over, won't you think it over

Hold me tighter in the rain, when it's through
Won't you hold me once again
Hold me tighter in the rain
`Cause I love you, say you love me if you can

Let me kiss you one more time
A pitter-patter to catch love in your mind
Remember how we used to play the games
Stealing kisses, walkin' in the rain

Oh, can I lead you one more time
Let me convince your heart, that you were mine
Take my hand and whisper that you'll stay
Help me pass this lonely night away

Oh, hold me tighter in the rain
When it's through, would you hold me once again
Just hold me tighter in the rain
I love you, say you love me if you can

Hold me tighter in the rain
When it's through, would you hold me once again
Hold me tighter in the rain
`Cause I love you, say you love me if you can

Stay, stay, stay, stay
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Hold me tighter in the rain

Hold on to love, hold on to me
Don't leave me in the rain
Won't you stay with me
Hold on to love, hold on to me
Don't leave me in the rain
Won't you stay with me
Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay
Hold me tighter in the rain
Just hold me baby
Just let me lady
Won't you let me baby
Next time you see me
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Hold me tighter, one more time
Say you love me, if you can

Hold me tighter in the rain

Hold me tighter in the rain

Hold me tighter in the rain

Hold me tighter in the rain

Hold me tighter in the rain

Hold me tighter........

Love Power


Love Power
Composer(s): Paul Curtiz - Sexyfire
First performance by: The KMG's - 2007



Can you feel the love power?
Can you feel the love?

I wake up every morning
Another day on my own
I'm in the eye of the storm
And I feel so alone

But when I notice the sunshine (Sunshine)
The summer breeze in the air
And when I dream of your sweet smile
Why should I fall into despair?

Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power all day?
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
(Can you feel the love power?)

Today is another bad day
I'm gonna turn into stone
There's too much pressure on me
And I feel so alone

I feel the temperature rising (Rising)
There's something new in the air
And all the birds are just singing love
Why should I fall into despair?

Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power all day?
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
(Can you feel the love power?)

(Can't you feel the love power?)
(Can't you feel the love power?)
(Can't you feel the love power?)
Can you feel the love?
(Can't you feel the love power?)

(Can you feel the love power coming your way?)
(Can you feel the love power?)

Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power all day?
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power?

One more time, come on (Coming your way)
Can you feel the love power coming your way?
Can you feel the love power?

Can you feel the love power?

Get A Life - Get Alive


Get A Life – Get Alive
Composer(s): Greg Usek - Austin Howard
First performance by: Eric Papilaya - 2007



Livin' in this world – be a little too much
Don't let it get you down, get up and strut
Ooh...
If you ever get the chance, hold your hand out and take it
Make a promise to yourself, don't you break it

Oh, I tried to get up when I was upside down
Got to find a way to turn my life around

This is the time for us to get a life
Open your mind to a better life
There's no way of knowin' where you're goin'
Get a life, a better life

Go outta your way and make some compromise
Hold to your dreams and you will realise
If you don't understand it, don't take it for granted
Open your mind to a better life

Let's turn up the heat, start a ripple in the water
Wake the soul from its sleep, no particular order
Could be wastin' precious time, free the mind, are you willin'?
Don't be afraid, do your dance and start livin'

I've got a vision in mind, I'm doin' my time
I'm livin' my life 'cause I've opened my mind

This is the time for us to get a life
Open your mind to a better life
There's no way of knowin' where you're goin'
Get a life, a better life

Go outta your way and make some compromise
Hold to your dreams and you will realise
If you don't understand it, don't take it for granted

There's no way of knowin' where you're goin'
This is the time for us to get a life

This is the time for us to get a life
Open your mind to a better life
There's no way of knowin' where you're goin'
Get a life, a better life

Go outta your way and make some compromise
Hold to your dreams and you will realise
If you don't understand it, don't take it for granted

This is the time to get a life
(This is the time) to get a life
(This is the time)
This is the time for us to get a life

Hold Me Now


Hold Me Now - 1987 (aka Don't Cry - 2006) (Danish Version: Hold Om Mig - 1987) Composer(s): Johnny Logan First release by: Johnny Logan - 1987



Don't, don't close your heart to how you feel
Dream, and don't be afraid the dream's not real
Close your eyes, pretend it's just the two of us again
Make believe this moment's here to stay

Touch, touch me the way you used to do
I know, tonight could be all I'll have with you
From now on you'll be with someone else instead of me
So tonight let's build this memory
For the last time

Hold me now, don't cry
Don't say a word
Just hold me now and I
Will know though we're apart
We'll always be together
For ever in love
What do you say when words are not enough

Time, time will be kind once we're apart
And your tears, tears will have no place in your heart
I wish I, I could say how much I'll miss you when you're gone
How my love for you will go on and on

Hold me now, don't cry
Don't say a word
Just hold me now and try to understand that
I hope at last you've found what you've been searching for
And though I won't be there anymore
I will always love you

Hold me now, don't cry
Don't say a word
Just hold me now and I
Will know though we're apart
We'll always be together
For ever in love
What do you say when words are not enough
What can I say now my words are not enough

Steam Powered Aero Plane


Steam Powered Aero Plane
Composer(s): John Hartford
Performer(s): New Grass Revival; Josh Phillips Folk Festival



Well I never went away on a Steam Powered Aero plane
Well I went and stayed and damn near didn't come back again
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aero plane
Oh the wheel went around, up and down, and inside and then back again

Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by
Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's rain
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high above Kansas City
On a genuine old fashioned steam powered aero plane

Well I'd like to be a pilot on a steam powered aero plane
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again
Well, I'll wear a blue hat, yeah, that says Steam Powered Aero plane
With letters that go around the rim and then back again

Hold me close, don't let me go

Hold me close....
Closer, Girl....

Salvem El Món


Salvem El Món
Composer(s): N. Francesca - G. Gallego - A. Martínez - C. Narváez
First performance by: Anonymous - 2007



Ja entenc per què tot el món va al revés
I no volem trobar solucions als problemes que hi han
No vulguis ser el que no ets

Sempre estàs pensant en si vius bé
I no hi ha temps per lo demés
El món en joc i no fas res

Tots estem d'acord ho podem fer
Podem unir-nos, fer-ho bé
Reflexiona tu mateix, tu mateix
(One two, one two, one two three four)

Left, right, up and down, it's upside down
That's how we make the world turn now
Can't hide the fact that it's happening

We can do our world some good
We can make a change, it's what we should
Time will tell us, but we must act now
(Let's go)

El problema sembla ser
Que l'interès no és el mateix
Arreglar d'un cop el món
És possible si ho fem tots

Tots estem d'acord ho podem fer
Podem unir-nos, fer-ho bé
Reflexiona tu mateix, tu mateix
(One two, one two, one two three four)

Left, right, up and down, it's upside down
That's how we make the world turn now
Can't hide the fact that it's happening

We can do our world some good
We can make a change, that's what we should
Time will tell us, but we must act now
(Only you)

Left, right, up and down, it's upside down
That's how we make the world turn now
Can't hide the fact that it's happening

We can do our world some good
We can make a change, that's what we should
Time will tell us, but we must act now

We realise it, but we don't act
'Cause we grab on to what we have
We still can act but we don't react
'Cause we only care about what we have
About what we have
