Imagina
Imagina
Hoje à noite
A gente se peder
Imagina
Imagina
Hoje à noite
A lua se apagar
Quem já viu a lua cris
Quando a lua começa a murchar
Lua cris
É preciso gritar e correr, socorrer o luar
Meu amor
Abre a porta pra noite passar
E olha o sol
Da manhã
Olha a chuva
Olha a chuva, olha o sol, olha o dia a lançar
Serpentinas
Serpentinas pelo céu
Sete fitas
Coloridas
Sete vias
Sete vidas
Avenidas
Pra qualquer lugar
Imagina
Imagina

Sabe que o menino que passar debaixo do arco-íris vira moça, vira
A menina que cruzar de volta o arco-íris rapidinho vira volta a ser rapaz
A menina que passou no arco era o
Menino que passou no arco
E vai virar menina
Imagina
Imagina
Imagina

Imagina
Imagina
Hoje à noite
A gente se perder
Imagina
Imagina
Hoje à noite
A lua se apagar

All Praise To Thee, Eternal God


All Praise To Thee, Eternal God
Composer(s): Martin Luther



All praise to Thee, eternal God
Who, clothed in garb of flesh and blood
Dost take a manger for Thy throne
While worlds on worlds are Thine alone
Hallelujah!

Once did the skies before Thee bow
A virgin's arms contain Thee now
While angels, who in Thee rejoice
Now listen for Thine infant voice
Hallelujah!

A little Child, Thou art our Guest
That weary ones in Thee may rest
Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth
That we may rise to heaven from earth
Hallelujah!

Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light
To make us in the realms divine
Like Thine own angels, round Thee shine
Hallelujah!

All this for us Thy love hath done
By This to Thee our love is won
For this our joyful songs we raise
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise
Hallelujah!

Images - Paris Qui Va ...


Images - Paris Qui Va ...
Composer(s): Georges Moustaki
Performer(s): Georges Moustaki



Tu connais bien Paris la nuit
Paris qui chante et t'éclabousse
De la lumière

Tu connais bien Paris la faim
Paris qui meurt sur un trottoir
Ou sous un pont

Tu connais bien Paris le jour
Paris qui passe indifférent
De ta misère

Bien trop pressé tu le sais bien
Paris l'argent et les affair's
Et toi fauché

Tu connais bien Paris qui fum'
Ses cheminées couvert's de suie
Paris qui peine

Tu connais bien Paris la nuit
Dans la prison dans le silence
Et dans le froid

Tu connais bien les jours sans fin
Les jours bizarr's sans horizon
Qui désespèrent

Tu connais bien l'eau qui sourit
Plein' de promess's qui vous attir'
Dans son sourire

Tu connais bien Paris meurtri
Paris en sang
Paris qui hurle de colère.

Tu connais bien Paris qui rêv'
Paris qui dit des mots d'amour
Paris qui aime

Tu connais bien Paris qui va

All My Heart This Night Rejoices


All My Heart This Night Rejoices
Composer(s): Johann Georg Ebeling; Paul Gerhardt
Performer(s): The Cambridge Singers;
and various other artists



All my heart this night rejoices
As I hear Far and near
Sweetest angel voices
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
Till the air Everywhere
Now with joy is ringing

Forth today the Conqueror goeth
Who the foe, Sin and woe
Death and hell, o'erthroweth
God is man, man to deliver
His dear Son Now is one
With our blood forever

Shall we still dread God's displeasure
Who, to save, Freely gave
His most cherished Treasure?
To redeem us, He hath given
His own Son From the throne
Of His might in heaven

Should He who Himself imparted
Aught withhold From the fold
Leave us broken-hearted?
Should the Son of God not love us
Who, to cheer Sufferers here
Left His throne above us?

If our blessed Lord and Maker
Hated men, Would He then
Be of flesh partaker?
If He in our woe delighted
Would He bear All the care
Of our race benighted?

He becomes the Lamb that taketh
Sin away And for aye
Full atonement maketh
For our life His own He tenders
And our race, By His grace
Meet for glory renders

Hark! a voice from yonder manger
Soft and sweet, Doth entreat
"Flee from woe and danger
Brethren, from all ills that grieve you
You are feed; All you need
I will surely give you"

Come, then, banish all your sadness
One and all, Great and small
Come with songs of gladness
Love Him who with love is glowing
Hail the Star, Near and far
Light and joy bestowing

Ye whose anguish knew no measure
Weep no more; See the door
To celestial pleasure
Cling to Him, for He will guide you
Where no cross, Pain, or loss
Can again betide you

Hither come, ye heavy-hearted
Who for sin, Deep within
Long and sore have smarted
For the poisoned wound you're feeling
Help is near, One is here
Mighty for their healing

Hither come, ye poor and wretched
Know His will Is to fill
Every hand outstretched
Here are riches without measure
Here forget All regret
Fill your hearts with treasure

Let me in my arms receive Thee
On Thy breast Let me rest
Savior, ne'er to leave Thee
Since Thou hast Thyself presented
Now to me, I shall be
Evermore contented

Guilt no longer can distress me
Son of God, Thou my load
Bearest to release me
Stain in me Thou findest never
I am clean, All my sin
Is removed forever

I am pure, in Thee believing
From Thy store Evermore
Righteous robes receiving
In my heart I will enfold Thee
Treasure rare, Let me there
Loving, ever hold Thee

Dearest Lord, Thee will I cherish
Though my breath Fail in death
Yet I shall not perish
But with Thee abide forever
There on high, In that joy
Which can vanish never

I'm yours
Heart and soul I am yours
Can't you see it my eyes?

All I Want Is You This Christmas


All I Want Is You This Christmas
Composer(s): Martin Briley; Dana Calitri
Performer(s): *Nsync



Snowy night
Where it's warm here by the fire
Here with you (here with you)
I have all that I desire
It's been a long year
But somehow we got by
Now it's Christmas Eve
And love is on our side

I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree (the tree)
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me?
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas this Christmas)

Children sing (Children sing)
Christmas carols at our door (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Spreading joy (Spreading joy)
That's what Christmas time is for
Though we don't have much
You've got me and I've got you
And with a little faith
Miracles come true!

I don't want the love of any other girl
I want only one thing in this whole wide world
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
(This Christmas, this Christmas)

Cheek to cheek
The lights are low
A kiss beneath the mistletoe
Your face lit by the fire's glow
That's all I want tonight

I don't need a hundred gifts beneath the tree (the tree)
Don't you know the best thing you could give to me?
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
Nothing else will do
All I want is you this Christmas
Yes

I'm Your Toy (Hot Burrito Number 1)


I'm Your Toy (Hot Burrito Number 1) (aka Hot Burrito N°1)
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Chris Ethridge
Performer(s): Elvis Costello
and multiple other artists



You may be sweet and nice
But that won't keep you warm at night
'Cause I'm the one who showed you how
To do the things you're doing now

He may feel all your charms
He may hold you in his arms
But I'm the one who let you in
I was right beside you in the end

Once upon a time
You let me feel you deep inside
But nobody knew, nobody saw
Do you remember the way you cried

I'm your toy, I'm your old boy
But I don't want no one but you to love me
No, I wouldn't lie
You know I'm not that kind of guy

Once upon a time
You let me feel you deep inside
But nobody knew, nobody saw
Do you remember the way you cried

I'm your toy, I'm your old boy
But I don't want no one but you to love me
No, I wouldn't lie
You know I'm not that kind of guy

All I Want For Christmas Is You (Vince Vance & The Valiants)


All I Want For Christmas Is You
Composer(s): Troy Powers; Andy Stone
Performer(s): Vince Vance & The Valiants;
Flash Cadillac; Frankie Ford



Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on string
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't want a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings and bows
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, it can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, it can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need

Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is
You... yea yea

With a toy on Christmas day

More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow

Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You baby

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (so brightly yea)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing (oh yea)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You (You) baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby...
All I want for Christmas is you baby...

I'm Your Captain
Composer(s): Mark Farner

Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now, days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me
Or am I all alone

If you return me, to my home port
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now, take me back now
To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?

You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it
So, please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I can feel the hand, of a stranger
And it's tightening, around my throat
Heaven help me
Heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat

I'm your captain, I'm your captain
Although I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me
And return me, my ship

I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...
I'm getting closer to my home ...

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth


All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Composer(s): Donald Gardner
Performer(s): Spike Jones;
and various other artists



Every body stops
and stares at me
These two teeth are
gone as you can see
I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth
my two front teeth
see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth
then I could with you
"Merry Christmas"
It seems so long since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
if I could only whistle (thhhh)

All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth
my two front teeth
see my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas!"

Composer(s): Buck Owens; Jimmy Snyder
Performer(s): Buck Owens



A little boy with tear dimmed eyes with trembling lips he could not hide
Too young to undertsand why daddy said goodbye
The Christmas time is almost here and daddy won't be home this year
The little boy looked up at mommy and he cried

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to help me docorate the Christmas tree
Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

Mommy said if I'd be good and say my prayers the way I should
Maybe God would help bring daddy back to us
For it won't seem like Christmas day with my daddy far away
Cause we miss him so and love him oh so much

All I want for Christmas is my daddy to help me docorate the Christmas tree
Tell ol' Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
No don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

I'll give you everything
In my magic power
So make a wish
And I'll let it come true for you

And frogs that turn into prince
We believe in moons that smile to us
When we hurry home before the midnight strikes

You're so dizzy
And we're so happy every day
Let's make a wish
And let it come true for us

You're in my locket
And we're so lucky in every way
We make a wish
And let it come true for us

And love that lifts us high
We believe in the sun that looks over our shoulders
And brings our shadows together

And it's so good (um) every time
We make a wish
And let it come true for you, too

All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle


All I Want For Christmas Is A Beatle
Composer(s): Gladys Benton
Performer(s): Dora Bryan



Christmas come but once a year, they're really all the same
I never know just what I want
It really is a shame
Yesterday I saw something that is my pride and joy
All I want for Christmas is a real live little boy

All I want for Christmas is a Beatle
Not a teddy bear, just a Beatle
I told mum nothing else would do
There are four, so she can have one too
I don't care which ever one she gets me
Ringo, Paul, John, George, they're all the same
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle

There's nothing else I really want for Christmas
So mama please help me get my wish
Don't tell Dad 'cause I don't think he'll agree
To a Beatle hanging on our Christmas tree
But if I know I'm really gonna have one
Then I'll know my life will be complete
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle

All the girls are going to love me
When I introduce him as my Christmas toy
I can't wait for Christmas day to come
'Cause all I want for Christmas is a Beatle!

I'm Writing A Letter To Heaven


I'm Writing A Letter To Heaven
Composer(s): Doris Mayer; Bill Boyd
Performer(s): Wesley Tuttle
and multiple other artists



Once I had my darlin' beside me
To brighten the night and the day
But now she has left me forever
The angels have led her away

I'm writing a letter to heaven
To one that I always will love
I'm sending my heart in this letter
In care of the angels above

My life is so empty without her
The world is so lonesome and grey
I'm sending my heart in this letter
And that's where it always will stay

I know that I'll miss her forever
And that I'll be true through the years
And that's why I'm writing this letter
With ink that is made from my tears

All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You


All I Want For Christmas Dear Is You Composer(s): Buck Owens; Don Rich Performer(s): Buck Owens and multiple other artists



Here it is Christmas Day and you're many miles away
And I wonder if you feel the way I do
In the air there's happiness but in me there's loneliness
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

Presents wrapped in green and gold have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh how happy I would be to find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear is you

Presents wrapped in green and gold have no arms for me to hold
No lips to whisper softly I love you
Oh how happy I would be to find you underneath my tree
For all I want for Christmas dear is you
