Manhã, tão bonita manhã
Na vida, uma nova canção
Cantando só teus olhos
Teu riso, tuas mãos
Pois há de haver um dia
Em que virás
Das cordas do meu violão
Que só teu amor procurou
Vem uma voz
Falar dos beijos perdidos
Nos lábios teus

Canta o meu coração
Alegria voltou
Tão feliz a manhã
Deste amor

One In A Million (America)




Composer(s): Gerry Beckley
Performer(s): America



One night, one in a million
Twilight, lastin' us through tomorrow
Nothing can come between us
That's what I wanna do

Today, there will be no competition
I think today might be
A one in a million for me
I've seen the sun drop below my roof line
I really think it might
Be a one in a million delight
All of my dreams go with you tonight

We'll walk down the roads of our impatience
And if one has to fall
He won't be too proud to call
Some doors I've closed just to reopen
And then sometimes I find
Everything wrong's turned to right
All of my dreams go with you tonight

One night, one in a million
Twilight, lastin' us through tomorrow
Nothing can come between us
That's what I want for you

Memphis Soul Stew

Performer(s): King Curtis; Bernard "Pretty" Purdie



Today's special is Memphis Soul Stew
We sell so much of this, people wonder what we put in it
We gonna tell you right now
Give me about a half a teacup of bass

Now I need a pound of fatback drums

Now give me 4 tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars
This goin' taste alright

Now just a little pinch of organ

Now give me a half a pint of horn

Place on the burner and bring to a boil
That's it, that's it, that's it right there
Now beat, well

One Hundred Years From Now


One Hundred Years From Now
Composer(s): Gram Parsons
Performer(s): The Byrds;
and various other artists



One hundred years from this day
will the people still feel this way
Still say the things that they're saying right now
Everyone said I'd hurt you they said that I'd desert you
If I go away you know I'm gonna get back some how
Nobody knows what kind of trouble we're in
Nobody seems to think it'll all might happen again

One hundred years from this time would anybody change their minds
And find out one thing or two about life
But people are always talking
You know they're always talking
Everybody's so wrong that I know it's gonna work out right
Nobody knows what kind of trouble we're in
Nobody seems to think it all might happen again

Memphis Monday Morning


Memphis Monday Morning
Composer(s): George Jackson; Raymond Nelson; D.W. Nelson
Performer(s): Bobby Blue Bland



Memphis Monday mornin'
The summer rain is pouring do-o-own
Memphis Monday mornin'
And the summer rain is falling do-o-own, o-o-o-o-h
I keep reachin' for my baby
But my baby she's not around
She's not around

She left me without a warnin'
And she took the early morning train
Now if I don't find my baby
I know I'll go insane

Memphis Monday mornin'
And I'm tellin you
The summer rain is comin' down, o-o-o-o-h, now
I keep reachin', and reachin' for my baby
But my baby she can't be found

Mr. Ticket Master
Tell me where is my baby bound
Please Mr. Ticket Master
Can you tell me where my baby is bound
I've gotta know
Oh I, I would give anything
Just to turn that train around

Station information
Would you check your schedule, please
I need a destination
I'm down here on my knees

Memphis Monday mornin'
And the summer rain is comin' down, o-o-h no
Oh I keep reachin' for my baby
But you know one thing
My baby's not around
I couldn't find her
Somebody..

Memphis, Memphis Monday mornin'
Oh, the summer rain is pouring down
Oh, yes it is
Memphis Monday mornin'
And the summer rain is pouring down, do-o-o-own
I keep reachin for my baby
My baby can't be found

Memphis Monday mornin'
The summer rain is comin' down
Oh yes it is
Oh yes it is

Memphis, oh, Memphis Monday morning
Oh children, the summer rain is comin down
Right down here on Beale Street
Memphis Monday morning
I keep telling you the summer rain is comin' down

Down there on Third Street
Right down to Peabody
Along with the Days Inn
Memphis, Memphis Monday mornin'
Comin' down on WDIA
?Rufus, and J Mack ?? ....

One Hundred Ways


One Hundred Ways
Composer(s): Tony Coleman;
Kathy Wakefield; Benjamin Wright
Performer(s): Quincy Jones;
and various other artists



Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play
Dedicate her favourite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways

Dont forget, there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say?
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways

Being cool won't help you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your only chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance

Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If it's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight, she'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways

Love her today
Find one hundred ways

Memphis In The Meantime


Memphis In The Meantime
Composer(s): John Hiatt
Performer(s): John Hiatt
and various other artists



I got some'n' to say little girl
You might not like my style
But we been hangin' around this town
Just a little too long a while
You say you're gonna get your act together
Gonna take it out on the road
But if I don't get out o' here pretty soon
My head's going to explode
Sure I like country music
And I like mandolins
But right now I need a Telecaster
Through a Vibrolux turned up to 10

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Ahw ... Memphis in the meantime girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl

I need a little shot of that rhythm baby
Mixed up with these country blues
I wanna trade in these ol' cowboy boots
For some fine Italian shoes
Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar
We don't need none of that
Just a little dab'll do ya girl
Underneath a pork pie hat
Until hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever
Record this song

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl

Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
But maybe there's somethin' in the aiiirrrrr
Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff...

If we could just get off-a that beat little girl
Maybe we could find the groove
At least we can get ourselves a decent meal
Down at the Rendezvous
'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, it's gonna do me in
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin
And after we get good and greasy
Baby we can come on home
Put the cow horns back on the Cadillac
And change the message on the Cordaphone
But...

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl

I'm a talking about Mem---phis
I'm talkin' 'bout Mem---phis
Mem---phis

One Hundred Miles To Liverpool


One Hundred Miles To Liverpool
Composer(s): Alan Hull
Performer(s): Lindisfarne



Sue and Annie wrote me they're coming down to quote me
know every word to every song
Rod N' Ray are talking, the radio is squawking
me I'm wondering what the hell went wrong

Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to flow, oh no

Funny how a mile can go on forever
funny how a day can be an age
funny how a smile can face the stormy weather
funny how a house can be a cage

Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to flow

John and Paul are sleeping, a streetcleaner is sweeping
the moon is on his own no place to go
Me, I'm cracking jokes in the bar with all the blokes
toasting the end of another show

Chorus:
But in my dreams I see Liverpool in lights
dancing in the streets 'til the early morning light
The tug boat on the Mersey joining in the Jamboree
well a man must have his dreams
even though his dreams might never come to be

Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to

Chorus:
100 miles more to Liverpool, 100 more miles to go
been down this road in sunshine and in snow
and it don't get any shorter
and the water under the bridge has got to flow

Memphis Est Loin D'ici


Memphis Est Loin D'ici
English Title: Memphis Tennessee
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Composer(s): Johnny Hallyday
(Originally performed by: Chuck Berry)



Allo l'international
Je vous en prie aidez-moi
Son message me fait mal
Ici je n'ai que sa voix

J'ai même pas son numéro
Elle m'a juste dit qu'elle s'ennuie
Qu'elle ne se fait pas d'amis
À Memphis Tennessee

Aidez-moi j'vous en prie
J'ai que son prénom Mary
Elle chante le blues la country
Le soir dans un club de Beale Street

Elle m'a dit j'suis à l'hôtel
J'm'étais assoupie
D'ici j'ai vue sur le ciel
Et le Mississipi

Y-a-t-il un moyen
De savoir d'où vient l'appel
Là-bas c'est le matin
J'veux la voir au réveil

Je vous raconte mon histoire
Ça chasse les idées noires
C'est vraiment trop loin d'ici
Ce Memphis Tennessee

Le jour où j'suis parti
Elle m'a dit reviens moi
Non j'irais jamais à Paris
Car ma vie c'est ici

Essayez d' la trouver
Je veux lui parler
Lui dire c'est idiot la vie
Memphis est loin d'ici

Allo l'international
Je vous en prie aidez-moi
Son message me fait mal
Ici je n'ai que sa voix

One Hit (To The Body)


One Hit (To The Body)
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards; Ron Wood
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



You fell out of the clear blue sky
To the darkness below
The smell of your flesh excites me
My blood starts to flow
So help me God

You burst in in a blaze of light
You unzippered the dark
One kiss took my breath away
One look lights up the stars
And it's it's one hit to the body
It comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
Sure went straight to the mark
So help me God

It's one shot when you love me
One shot when you leave me
I don't need no security
I just need some peace
And it's one hit to the body
It comes straight from the heart
One voice calls out my name
It sure went straight to the mark

One punch and you knocked me down
Tore my defenses apart
One round took me out of the game
You did me some permanent harm
It took just one hit
It took just one hit
It ain't enough for me
It ain't enough for me
It ain't enough for me
It's hurting me baby

Oh your love is a sweet addiction
I can't clean you out of my veins
It's a life long addiction
That has damaged my brain
It took just one hit to the body
To tear my defenses apart
One hit to the body
Sure went straight to the mark
One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
To the body, to the body
Come straight from the heart

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart
That's all it took, that's all it took
So help me so help me so help me God
So help me so help me so help me God

One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart
One hit to the body
And it comes straight from the heart

One Hello


One Hello
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlish; Carole Bayer Sager
Performer(s): Randy Crawford;
Gladys And The Boxers; Pops Fernandez



If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Are beautiful things
Its a chance you'll take
It's a chance you'll win
If someone gonna find you
First you gotta let them in

Coz love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now its easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
You might really love or lose your heart

If you're not afraid
Of what you feel
Then try and keep it simple
Or try and keep it real
And if being real means
You'll some day say goodbye
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you'll learn
And it starts with one hello

Love begins with one hello
The hardest part is over
Now it's easy letting go
One hello is how it starts
Remember my friend
Goodbyes not the end
Its a circle you know
And it starts with one hello
It starts with one hello

Maanlicht


Maanlicht
English & French Titles: Memory; Nos Souvenirs
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber; Trevor Nunn
Performer(s): Ann De Winne
(Originally performed by: Elaine Paige)



Maanlicht, wend je blik naar het maanlicht
Volg de stem van je dromen
Wees bereid, laat je gaan
Vind je eenmaal de zin van wat geluk ook weer is
Een nieuw leven breekt dan aan

Maanlicht, heel alleen in het maanlicht
Droom ik hoe het voorbij vloog
Oh, hoe mooi was ik toen
Nooit vergeet ik de tijd dat ik geluk nog begreep
Ach, die tijd weer overdoen

As en walm van avondrook
De ochtendnevel huivert
Er dooft een lamp
Alweer een nacht ten einde
Alweer een nieuwe morgen

Daglicht, op de zon moet ik wachten
Aan een nieuw leven denken
Ik moet sterk zijn, vol kracht
Als het licht wordt zal deze nacht herinnering zijn
En begint een nieuwe dag

As en walm van avondrook
De ochtendnevel huivert
Er dooft een lamp
Alweer een nacht ten einde
Alweer een nieuwe morgen

Streel me
Laat me niet meer alleen zijn
Met wat ik me herinner van mijn tijd in de zon
Raak me aan en dan weet je wat geluk ook weer is
Kijk, een nieuwe dag begon

One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)


One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)
Composer(s): Eddie Dean; Dearest Dean; Hal Blair
Performer(s): Eddie Dean;
and various other artists



One has my name, the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
So I'll go on livin' my life just the same
While one has my heart, the other has my name

One has my name, the other has my heart
With one I'll remain, that's how my heartaches start
One has brown eyes, the other's eyes are blue
To one I am tied, to the other I am true

One has my love, the other only me
But what good is love to a heart that can't be free
If I could live over, my life I would change
The one who has my heart would also have my name

Memory


Memory
Dutch & French Titles: Maanlicht; Nos Souvenirs
Composer(s): T.S. Eliot; Andrew Lloyd Webber; Trevor Nunn
Originally performed by: Elaine Paige
Covered by various other artists



Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
and the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters and soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too and a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
the stale, cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies, another night is over
another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
all alone with a memory of my days in the sun
If you touch me I'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun

One Hand, One Heart
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein; Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick;
and various other artists



Make of our hands one hand
Make of our hearts one hart
Make of our bows one last bow
Only death will part us now

Make all our lives one life
Day after day, one life
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part us now

With this heart I will sing to you
Long as the stars have lost their glow
And with these hands I'll provide for you
Should there be a stormy sea
I'll turn the tide for you

With one hand, one heart
One hand and one heart
Now it begins, now we start
One hand, one heart
Even death won't part, part us now

Memories Of You
Composer(s): Andy Razaf; Eubie Blake
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



Waking skies at sunrise, evry sunset too
Seems to be bringing me memories of you
Here and there, ev'rywhere, scenes that we once knew
And they all just recall memories of you

How I wish I could forget those happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears

Your face beams in my dreams, in spite of all I do
And ev'rything seems to bring memories of you

Take me out of here
This place is gettin' much to small
Make me disappear

Memories In Gold


Memories In Gold
Composer(s): Ken Barnes; Pete Moore
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



Those melodies that reach across the years
Have underscored our laughter and our tears
With every phrase we see the past unfold
Like memories in gold

Some tunes remind us of our childhood days
The Sunday afternoons and songs of praise
Reflecting happy times and joys untold
These memories in gold

From those early nurs'ry rhymes to our adolescent times
We'd find more favourites as we went along
How could we go wrong with a special song
That would always see us through

Our lives without them might be cold and bleak
A favourite song says more than words can speak
They helped me win your love to have and hold
Sweet Memories in gold

(When the band played rock and roll)
(And the people called it soul)
(Our favourite songs were like a tapestry)
Etched in melody, they will always be
Part of you and part of me

There's little more to add when songs are sung
The words and music help keep us young
And so we're not afraid of growing old
With memories, let's hear them please
Sweet memories in gold

One Good Love


One Good Love
Composer(s): Neil Diamond; Gary Nicholson
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And ev'ry heart I've ever known
Just left me wanting more

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love

I followed all life's pleasures
Wherever they would lead
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need

One good love can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love
