Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Let Me Take You Home Tonight
Composer(s): Brad Delp - Tom Scholz
Performer(s): Boston
Now, I'm not like this
I'm really kind of shy
But I get this feeling
Whenever you walk by
I don't want to down you
I wanna make you high
If you could see your way to me
Come on and let me try
Let me take you home tonight
Mama, now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight
I'll show you sweet delight
You must understand this
I've watched you for so long
That I feel I've known you
I know it can't be wrong
If we just get together
I wanna make you see
I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight
So mama let it be
Let me take you home tonight
Mama, now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight
I'll show you sweet delight
I don't wanna make excuses
I don't wanna lie
I just got to get loose
With you tonight
Let me take you home tonight
Mama, now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight
I'll show you sweet delight
I don't wanna make excuses
I don't wanna lie
I just got to get loose
With you tonight
I don't want to down you
I wanna make you high
And I get this feeling
Whenever you walk by
If we just get together
I wanna make you see
I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight
So mama let it be
Let me take you home tonight
Mama, now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight
I'll show you sweet delight
I'm gonna show you sweet delight
Show you sweet delight
Pretty mama, mama
Show you sweet delight
Let me take you home tonight

Brejo Da Cruz
Brejo Da Cruz
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and various other artists
A novidade
Que tem no Brejo da Cruz
É a criançada
Se alimentar de luz
Alucinados
Meninos ficando azuis
E desencarnando
Lá no Brejo da Cruz
Eletrizados
Cruzam os céus do Brasil
Na rodoviária
Assumem formas mil
Uns vendem fumo
Tem uns que viram Jesus
Muito sanfoneiro
Cego tocando blues
Uns têm saudade
E dançam maracatus
Uns atiram pedra
Outros passeiam nus
Mas há milhões desses seres
QUe se disfarçam tão bem
Que ninguém pergunta
De onde essa gente vem
São jardineiros
Guardas noturnos, casais
São passageiros
Bombeiros e babás
Já nem se lembram
Que existe um Brejo da Cruz
Que eram crianças
E que comiam luz
São faxineiros
Balançam nas construções
São bilheteiras
Baleiros e garçons
Já nem se lembram
Que existe um Brejo da Cruz
Que eram crianças
E que comiam luz

Let Me Sing And I'm Happy
Let Me Sing And I'm Happy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson
and multiple other artists
What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who care for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing its popular songs
Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy, I'm happy
I don't want a seat on any big council
A ruler's power is not what I'm seeking for
Only let me feel that my songs appeal has reached your hearts
I'll not ask for anything more
Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy, I'm happy

Breezin' Along With The Breeze
Breezin' Along With The Breeze
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; Seymour Simons; Richard Whiting
Originally performed by: Josephine Baker
I have been a rover since I was a child
No one to love or care for me
Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild
My home's wherever I may be
Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be
I'm gone, but no one's missin' me
Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me
I'm like a bird that's flyin' free
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze
Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas
Like the birdies that sing in the trees
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please
The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes my bed
I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze

Roy: no I ain't bin uptown, what's uptown?
Anita: If it's pleasure you're about
And you feel like steppin' out
All you've got to shout is
Let me off uptown
If it's rhythm that you feel
Then it's nothing to conceal
Oh, you've got to spiel it
Let me off uptown
Rib joints, juke joints, hep joints
Where could a fella go to top it
If you want to pitch a ball
And you can't afford a hall
All you've got to call is
Let me off uptown
Roy: Anita, oh Anita, say I feel somethin'
Anita: Whatcha feel Roy? The heat?
Roy: No it must be that uptown rhythm
I feel like blowin'
Anita: Well blow Roy, blow

Breathless (The Corrs)
Breathless
Composer(s): The Corrs; Robert John "Mutt" Lange
Performer(s): The Corrs
Go on, go on
Leave me breathless
Come on
The day light's fading slowly
The time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak
I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it
So go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't denie this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on .. Yeah he
Come on
Heyeah
And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need
Somehow it's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don't lose it, don't leave me
So go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't denie this
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on .. Yeah he
Come on
And I can't lie.. from you I cannot hide
And I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it
So go on go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on, Go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on ... Go on

Let Me Love You Once Before You Go
Let Me Love You Once Before You Go
Composer(s): Steve Dorff - Molly Ann Leiken
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists
It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover, one man's wife
But you can start a fire raging just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh, I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst?
Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me, so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me
Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Oh my darling, please come over here
Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Breathe
Breathe
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters; Ricky "Reagan" Wright
Originally performed by: Pink Floyd
Covered by various other artists
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to start another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave

First release by: Joan Weber - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, let me go
Let me go
Let me go, lover
Let me be
Set me free
From your spell
You made me weep
Cut me deep
I can't sleep, lover
I was cursed
From the first
Day I fell
You don't want me
But you want me
To go on wanting you
Now I pray that
You will say that
We're through
Please turn me loose
What's the use?
Let me go, lover
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
You made me weep
Cut me deep
I can't sleep, lover
I was cursed
From the first
Day I fell
You don't want me
But you want me
To go on wanting you
Now I pray that
You will say that
We're through
Please turn me loose
What's the use?
Let me go, lover
Let me go

Breath Of Your Life
Breath Of Your Life
Composer(s): Greg Fitzgerald; Daryl Hall; Tom Nichols
Performer(s): Daryl Hall & John Oates
I can read between the lonely lines
Every single word brings a tear to my eye
Tell me how did we get here
And where did heaven go
I remember us as strong as stone
Now I see the cracks breaking up a home
And a future filled with fear
But I won’t surrender no
We can make it through the fire
I won’t lay it down and die
I will be the air, if you are out of breath
And out of time
Baby don’t it feel right
Don’t you know why
Won’t you say what it is
Why you just can’t see what’s going on
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life
See the way the wind blows
No matter how it goes
I’m the air that you need
If you’re out of breath and out of time
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life
Baby, no no we ain’t out of time
I don’t want to go around again
Passionate lover turning into friend
I don’t want to be back there
Let that heaven go
Explain the things you really need
I can make it happen if you talk to me
Though I cannot read your mind
I can get into your soul
We Could Make it Through the Fire
I won’t lie down and die
I will be the air if you are out of breath and out of time
Baby don’t it feel right
Don’t you know why
Won’t you say what it is
Why you just can’t see what’s going on
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life
See the way the wind blows
No matter how it goes
I’m the air that you need
If you’re out of breath and out of time
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life
Baby, no no we ain’t out of time
Are you feeling like you’re drowning
Are you choking?
And you just don’t know what to do
Well I can help you make it through
Am I the one to save it?
I really think that we could do this
get through this
Don’t doubt it, think about it
Be sure you can depend on me
Let me be the air that you breathe
Baby don’t it feel right
Don’t you know why
Won’t you say what it is
Why you just can’t see what’s going on
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life

Let Me Go, Love
Let Me Go, Love
Composer(s): B.J. Cook Foster - Michael McDonald
Performer(s): Nicolette Larson; Michael McDonald
You got that look in your eyes
Something deep inside
And time will show
What you don't want to know
It's haunting you
Guess it's time to sit down with the truth
And tho' it comes as no surprise
Some things are not better left unsaid
Let them out instead
It's haunting you
Guess it's time to sit down with the truth
Got to get acquainted with the truth
Oh and it was here
This place that we hide away in
If it's gone now
It's best that a new place begin
We shared in the fantasy of
Knowing this love in our lives
Is it ever what it seems to be
Oh and if it's over
Let me go, love
Let me go, love

Composer(s): Queen
Performer(s): Queen; Martin Yates
When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthru . . . Now!
I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' me
I'm under your thumb, under you're spell, can't you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru - oh yeah
Breakthru, these barriers of pain
Breakthru, to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow
I have to make this final breakthru
Now I
Your smile
Speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me
Honey you're sparking something, this fire in me
I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Breakthru, breakthru

And I know that he loves me
You never have

So I'm beggin' you to let me go to him
Let me go to him

You just don't care
When I try to work things out
You're never there
And lately we're never together
Half the time you don't call
That's no life at all

If you set me free
Let me go to him
I can't live without his love
So I'm beggin' you to let me go to him
Let me go to him

Breaking Us In Two
Breaking Us In Two
Composer(s): Joe Jackson
Originally performed by: Joe Jackson
Covered by: Whitney McCray; Mandy Moore
Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two
You don't do the things that I do
You want to do the things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two
You and I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out
Just one day on your own
Why does what I'm saying hurt you
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that you won't bee too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice it's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two
