Something In Your Eyes


Something In Your Eyes
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Pamela Phillips Oland
Performer(s): Richard Carpenter



There was a certain face
That filled a thousand nights
With all the sweetest dreams and promises
Of paradise
But that face was gone
When the dawn would come and steal you
Yet I still could feel you
Waiting just a kiss away
I'd surely know your face
When love would cast its spell
I'd recognize each curve and line of you
I knew it well
Now at last you're here and I can tell
Something in your eyes I see
Is all I've ever wanted
(And) Something in your smile for me
Is calling out my name
Your eyes it seems
Are mirrors of my dreams
In ways I can't explain...
And my heart will never be the same
We never said a word
As if we'd always known
That through the bittersweet of waiting
We were not alone
Now we're close enough
For the touch of love to find us
Fantasies designed us
But they never really could
Begin to measure you
No pictures ever do
And as I watch you framed in sunlight
And a sky of blue
I know what my life's been leading to
Something in your eyes I see
Is all I've ever wanted
(And) Something in your smile for me
Is calling out my name
Your eyes it seems
Are mirrors of my dreams
In ways I can't explain...
And my heart will never be the same

Until The Real Thing Comes Along


Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Composer(s): Mann Holiner; Alberta Nichols;
Sammy Cahn; Saul Chaplin; L.E. Freeman
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



Don't you know I'd work for you, I'd slave for you
Be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

Gladly move the earth for you
Prove my love dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along

With all the words dear at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby - come what may
My heart is yours - what more can I say

I would cry for you, even sigh for you
Tear those stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along

Walk on burning coals for you
I would drive the Chrysler,leave the Rolls for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

I would try to hit high "C" for you
I'd even punch out Mr. T for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

There's not a thing that you can't ask of me
Go on, demand any task of me
If you want the moon or a lavaliere
All you got to do is nibble on my ear

I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you
Lay my little body down and die for you
(If that ain't love - if that isn't love)
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along

Há Sempre Alguém


Há Sempre Alguém
Composer(s): Francisco Pereira - Frederico Pereira - Luis Filipe - Jan Van Dijck
First performance by: Nucha - 1990



Sempre há sempre alguém
Que ainda não tem
O tanto que temos
Sempre há sempre alguém
No canto do mundo
Que sonha também

A vida corria
Diante de nós
Sem cores nem harmonia
O passo era o muro que calava a voz
A verdade nada valia
Quantos momentos perdemos então
O medo da vida o sonho era em vão

As vozes do vento
E as ondas do mar
Fizeram este novo dia
Agora vivemos sem ter de sonhar
Momentos de louca alegria
Cantamos unidos
Sem olhar p’ra trás
Nada detém o amor e a paz

Until We Sleep


Until We Sleep
Composer(s): David Gilmour
Performer(s): David Gilmour



Dance, to the movement of the stars
Sing till the walls around us ring
Pray that it never fades away
Until we sleep

Feast, go ahead now, take your fill
Drink, till the room begins to sway
Play, and your cares will blow away
Until we sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

Work, though the work will break your back
Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise
But the years, have cut you down to size
Now go to sleep
Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

Something In The Wind


Something In The Wind
Composer(s): Johnny Green - Leo Robin
Performer(s): Deanna Durbin
and multiple other artists



Do you hear what I hear?
There's something in the wind
Something that the moonbeams
Think we oughta know

Do you feel as I feel
There's something in the wind?
Something that the stars planned
Centuries ago

A funny little bird just sent word
From the treetops
That you will be tops
In my heart
When do we start?

Kiss me and hold me
There's something in the wind
And it tells me
We're gonna fall in love

Do you feel as I feel
There's something in the wind?
Something that the stars planned
Centuries ago

A funny little bird just sent word
From the treetops
That you will be tops
In my heart
When do we start?

Kiss me and hold me
There's something in the wind
And it tells me
(and it tells me)
We're gonna fall in love

Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)


Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)
Composer(s): Morris Broadnax;
Clarence Paul; Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Aretha Franklin



Though you don't call anymore
I sit and wait in vain
I guess I'll rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I want to tell you Baby
The changes I've been going through
Missing you.
Listen you
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Why did you have to decide
You had to set me free
I'm gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna beg you to (please baby please) see me
I'm gonna walk by meself
Just to prove that my love is true
Oh, for you baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do
Living for you my dear
Is like living in a world of constant fear
In my plea, I've got to make you see
That our love is dying
Although your phone you ignore
Somehow I must explain
I'm gonna rap on your door
Tap on your window pane
I'm gonna camp on your step
Until I get through to you
I've got to change your view baby
'till you come back to me
That's what I'm gonna do

White & Black Blues


White & Black Blues
Composer(s): Georges Ougier de Moussac - Serge Gainsbourg
First performance by: Joëlle Ursull - 1990



Lorsque l'on me parle de couleur de peau
J'ai le blues qui me fait froid dans le dos
Je m'sens dans un conte d'Edgar Allan Poe
C'est le never more les vumètres à zéro

White and black
Danse, balance sur le white and black blues
Nous les blacks
Nous sommes quelque millions treize à la douze
Paradisiaque
Africa mon amour, j't'ai dans la peau
White and Black
Qu'importe la couleur? - Tous égaux

Entendez-vous les percussions des tam-tams?
Elles vous vont droit au cur, vous transpercent l'âme
Comme la flèche d'un chasseur, équateur
Une lame de couteau où scintillent les pleurs

White and black
Danse, balance sur le white and black blues
Nous les blacks
Nous sommes quelque millions treize à la douze
Le long du fleuve
Sous le soleil ambré des marécages
Où qu'il pleuve
Sur nos amours, que vienne l'orage

White and black
Danse, balance sur le white and black blues
Nous les blacks
Nous sommes quelque millions treize à la douze
Oh… white and black
Danse, balance sur le white and black blues
That's all right
Danse, balance sur le white blues

And black

Uomini Soli


Uomini Soli
Composer(s): Roby Facchinetti; Nicola Negrini
Performer(s): Pooh; Gianni Lardera



Li incontri dove la gente viaggia
e va a telefonare
coi dopobarba che sa di pioggia
e la ventiquattro ore
perduti nel Corriere della Sera
nel va e vieni di una cameriera
Ma perché ogni giorno viene sera?
A volte un uomo è da solo perché ha in testa strani tarli
perché ha pura del sesso o per la smania di successo
per scrivere il romanzo che ha di dentro
perché la vita l'ha già messo al muro
o perché in un mondo falso è un uomo vero
Dio delle città e dell'immensità
se è vero che ci sei e hai viaggiato più di noi
vediamo se si può imparare questa vita
e magari un po' cambiarla
prima che ci cambi lei
vediamo se si può
farci amare come siamo
senza violentarci più
con nevrosi e gelosie
perché questa vita stende
e chi è steso dorme o muore
oppure fa l'amore
Ci sono uomini soli per la sete d'avventura
perché han studiato da prete o per vent'anni di galera
per madri che non li hanno mai svezzati
per donne che li han rivoltati e persi
o solo perché sono dei diversi
Dio delle città e dell'immensità
se è vero che ci sei e hai viaggiato più di noi
vediamo se si può imparare queste donne
e cambiare un po' per loro
e cambiarle un po' per noi
Ma Dio delle città e dell'immensità
magari tu ci sei e problemi non ne hai
ma quaggiù non siamo in cielo
e se un uomo perde il filo
è soltanto un uomo solo

Something In The Air


Something In The Air
Composer(s): John Keen
First release by: Thunderclap Newman - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Call out the instigator because there's something in the air
We got to get it together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Close up the streets and houses because there's something in the air
We got to get it together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Hand out the arms and ammo we're gonna blast our way from here
We got to get it together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here and you know it's right
And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Uomo (Mina)


Uomo
Performer(s): Mina Anna Mazzini



Tu hai una gran virtù
fai vedere blu
anche un cielo che
e' tutto nuvole
mi dirai che ne faccio mai
di uno come te se non penso che
sei un po' ridicolo
io ti rispondo che se vuoi
un motivo vero c'e'
io non ho inventato niente
tu non parlare più
a me basti tu
che saranno mai sté domande stupide
sentimi se hai ragione o no
che importanza ha
niente cambierà
sono cose inutili
questa mia risposta e' sempre qui
per chi vuole bene e' sempre si
io ti aspetto sempre uomo
guarda la foglia che cresce sul ramo
guarda la rosa che stringi tu in mano
senti il mio cuore che battito strano che ha
tu hai una gran virtù
fai vedere blu
anche un cielo che
e' tutto nuvole
mi dirai che me ne faccio mai
che me ne faccio mai
di uno come te

Frei Zu Leben


Frei Zu Leben
First performance by: Chris Kempers & Daniel Kovac - 1990



Frei zu leben, dem Gefühl vertrauen
nehmen – geben, ist es so schwer?
Frei zu leben und nach vorne schauen
Schritt für Schritt, Hand in Hand mehr und mehr

Einsam sind wir nicht, aber jeder ist allein
reissen wir die unsichtbaren Mauern endlich ein
Jeder wartet auf ein Wunder und das Wunder kann geschehen
wir müssen einfach nur zusammen über alle Grenzen gehen

Frei zu leben, sich auf Ziele freuen
nehmen – geben, ist es nicht Zeit?
Frei zu leben, keine Fragen scheuen
Tag für Tag, Hand in Hand hier und heut‘

Laß uns nicht nach rückwärts seh‘n
frag mich nicht was wird gescheh‘n
nimm mich wie ich bin und laß uns beide ehrlich sein
Laß uns keine Pläne schmieden
die wie schwere Ketten wiegen
sperr nicht deine Wünsche in dir ein

Frei zu leben, dem Gefühl vertrauen
nehmen – geben, ist es so schwer?
Frei zu leben und nach vorne schauen
Schritt für Schritt
Hand in Hand mehr und mehr

Jede Angst verlier‘n
jede Hoffnung ausprobier’n
wenn ich dich hab‘, fällt es mir nicht schwer

Frei zu leben und nach vorne schauen
Schritt für Schritt
Hand in Hand mehr und mehr
Frei zu lieben, frei zu leben Hand in Hand
frei doch nicht allein
lass es heut' Wahrheit sein

Uomo (Riccardo Cocciante)


Uomo
Composer(s): P. Casella; Riccardo Cocciante; Luberti
Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante



Mondo una notte chiara
Una stella di luce nel cielo
Si avvicina e più grande diventa
Dell'oscurità
Uomo
Pieno di stupore
Combattendo tra fede e paura
Hai tremato nell'oscurità
Quella notte chiara
Uomo
Il bisogno nascosto d'amore
Nel tuo cuore speranza portò
Uomo
L'alba fu leggera
Nel tuo cuore la gioia più pura
Coi ricordi più antichi tornò
Ritornava ancora
Uomo
Quella stella che apparve nel buio
Quella stella che amore portò
Uomo
Senza più paura
Nuovi doni portassi alla riva
E stella scendendo dal cielo
Laggiù si posò

Something In Red


Something In Red
Composer(s): Angela Kaset
Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan
and multiple other artists



I'm looking for something in red
Something that's shocking to turn someone's head
Strapless and sequined and cut down to there
Stockings and garters and lace underwear
The guaranteed number to knock the men dead
I'm looking for something in red

I'm looking for something in green
something to out do an ex-high school queen
Jealousy comes in the color of jade
Do you have some pumps and a purse in this shade
And a perfume that whispers "Please come back to me"
I'm looking for something in green

I'm looking for something in white
Something that shimmers in soft candlelight
Everyone calls us the most perfect pair
Should I wear a veil or a rose in my hair
Well, the train must be long and the waist must be tight
I'm looking for something in white

I'm looking for something in blue
Something real tiny, the baby's brand new
He has his father's nose and his chin
We once were hot lovers
Now we're more like friends
Don't tell me that's just what old married folk do
I'm looking for something in blue

I'm looking for something in red
Like the one that wore when I first turned his head
Strapless and sequined and cut down to there
Just a size larger than I wore last year
The guaranteed number to knock the man dead

I'm looking for something
I've gotta have something
I'm looking for something in red

Uomo Di Sabbia


Uomo Di Sabbia (Egyptian, French, & German Title: Salma Ya Salama) Composer(s): Jeff Barnel; Pierre Delanoé; Jahine Salah Performer(s): Dalida



Da sempre padrone, violento e predone
Sicuro andavi tu

Un colpo di vento, sul moi sentimento
T'ha fatto cadere giù
Da quel monumento antico

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del deserto e non lo sai
Uomo di sabbia vai, pero nessuna schiava hai

Andavi e venivi, volevi ed avevi
Ma che felicità

Col cuore giocavi, di chi non amavi
Con me tu scherzavi ma
E cambiato il mondo in te

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del desrto e non lo sai
Uomo di sabbia vai, pero nessuna schiava hai

Se cerchi una donna
Col volto di una Madonna
Fai molto attenzione che non sia un miraggio quel che vedi
Forza coraggio
La vita è solo un passaggio
Ieri comandavi tu
Sul piano del sesso e adesso

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del desrto e non lo sai
Uomo di sabbia vai pero nessuna schiava hai

Da sempre padrone, violento e predone
Sicuro andavi tu

Un colpo di vento, sul moi sentimento
T'ha fatto andare giù
Da quel monumento antico

Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del deserto e non lo sai
Sono una donna ormai, percio una schiava non avrai
Uomo di sabbia vai, sei del deserto e non lo sai
Sono una donna ormai, percio una schiava non avrai

Musik Klingt In Die Welt Hinaus


Musik Klingt In Die Welt Hinaus
Composer(s): Cornelia Lackner
First performance by: Egon Egemann - 1990



Sie war allein und niemand wollte sie
Ich sah sie an und war verliebt in sie
Sie wurde mein, es war so schön wie nie
Die Geige sang mir diese Melodie

Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik hört man in jedem Haus
Musik, die jeder fühlt
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik macht manches Märchen wahr
Musik, so wunderbar

Sie spielt in Dur wenn sie die Muse küsst
Und auch in Moll wenn ihr zum Weinen ist
Ich bleib' ihr treu, möchte sie nie verliern
Will zu ihr stehen, sie ist ein Teil von mir

Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik hört man in jedem Haus
Musik, die jeder fühlt
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik macht manches Märchen wahr
Musik, so wunderbar

Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik hört man in jedem Haus
Musik, die jeder fühlt
Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus
Musik, die meine Geige spielt
Musik macht manches Märchen wahr
Musik, so wunderbar

Something In My Heart


Something In My Heart
Composer(s): Wayland Patton
Performer(s): Ricky Skaggs; Crowe Brothers; Tommy Webb



Well, I thought I was over you and that my heart was free
I felt like those old memories had finally let me be
So I picked up the phone to call a girl that I once knew
But when she said hi, well girl, you know I wished that it was you

Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Somethin' 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend, no
Somethin' in my mind tells me your memory has no end
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Seems like only yesterday you promised you'd be mine
And I sure thought I heard you say "until the end of time"
Well, I guess I was wrong to think your love for me was true
So here I am all brokenhearted, all because of you

Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Somethin' 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend, no
Somethin' in my mind tells me your memory has no end
Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Somethin' in my heart sure makes it hard to love again

Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother


Up Against The Wall, Redneck Mother
Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
Performer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker;
and various other artists



He was born in West Virginia
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Sure does like his Falstaff beer
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for Redneck

Up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell

He's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

Hallo - Hallo


Hallo - Hallo
Composer(s): Keld Heick - John Hatting - Torben Lendager
First performance by: Lonnie Devantier - 1990



Kigger på mit ur, nu' du ganske sikkert hjemme
Så jeg drøner ned ad trappen for at ringe til dig
Men ned' i boksen står der én med mønter fremme
Han ta'r flere op af lommen, mens han skuler til mig

Så er der fri, jeg ringer op og den er klar
Men det er kun din automat, der gi'r mig svar

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme
Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en

Rådhusuret slår, og her står jeg nu og fryser
Jeg er træt af smarte fyre, der skal imponere
Jeg' godt forkølet, pudser næse, går og nyser
Og ka' næsten ikke styre temperamentet mere

Jeg griber røret, men bli'r stadig holdt for nar
For det' din dumme automat, der gi'r mig svar

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme
Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en

Jeg fodrer boksen med den sidste mønt jeg har
Det er og bli'r din automat, der gi'r mig svar

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg ved godt, du er hjemme
Ka' du ikke ta' og ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Men når båndet slutter, er der aldrig no'en

Jeg si'r: Hallo, hallo
Jeg vidste du var hjemme
Det var rart, at du ku' ta' din telefon
Hallo, hallo
Jeg lytter til din stemme
Selv om båndet slutter, er der stadig no'en
Det var rart, at du ku' ta' din telefon

Up Around The Bend


Up Around The Bend
Composer(s): John C. Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival;
and various other artists



There's a place up ahead
and I'm going just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're going
leave the sinking ship behind

Chorus:
Come on the rising wind, we're going up around the bend

Ooh!
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the getting is good
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood

Chorus

Ooh!
You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day
Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say

Chorus
Yeah!

Ooh!
Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree
There's a place up ahead and I'm going, come along, come along with me

Chorus

Yeah!
Do, do, doo, do...
