After All (Steve Conway)
After All
Composer(s): Billy Reid
Performer(s): Steve Conway
After all we planned together
For my dreams to be in vain
Everyone has stormy weather
When you're in love don't be afraid of rain
To forget is only human
To forgive is so divine
Break my heart, but say you love me
Then after all, you're mine
To forget is only human
To forgive is so divine
Break my heart but, say you love me
Then after all, you're mine

What In The World's Come Over You
Composer(s): Jack Scott
Performer(s): Jack Scott;
and various other artists
What in the world's come over you?
Seems we never get along (ooh, ah, ah, ah)
Ev'ry night I reminisce dreaming of your tender kisses
What in the world's come over you? (wah, wah, ooh)
Could you ever change your mind? (ah, ah, ah)
If you do, I'll still be here, dear, waiting, longing for you (ah, ah, ah)
All my life I've loved you so
Never dreamed I'd miss you so
Now, alone in my room each night
My heart, it cries "It's just not right", oh, oh, oh
What in the world's come over you?
Could you ever change your mind? (ah, ah, ah)
If you do, I'll still be here, dear, waiting, longing for you (ah, ah, ah)
All my life I've loved you so
Never dreamed I'd miss you so
Now, alone in my room each night
My heart, it cries "It's just not right", oh, oh, oh
What in the world's come over you? (wah, wah, ooh)
You're still my angel from above (ah, ah, ah)
Guess you'll always be my one and only

After All (Cher & Peter Cetera)
After All
Composer(s): Tom Snow - Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Cher & Peter Cetera
(Him) Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
(Her) I still remember
when Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
(Them) Every journey always brings me back to you
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me After all
(Her) When love is truly right
(Him) This time it's truly right
(Her) It lives from year to year
(Them) It changes as it grows
(Her) And oh the way it grows
(Them) But it never disappears
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me After all
(Him) Always just beyond my tough
Though I needed you so much
(Her) After all what else is living for
(Them) Whoa
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
(Them) After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
And after all that we've been through
(Her) It all comes down to me and you
(Him) I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all

What I'd Say
What I'd Say
Composer(s): Robert Byrne; William Robinson
Performer(s): Earl Thomas Conley; - 1988
Gary Allan; Davey T Hamilton
Talkin' to the mirror, whisperin' your name
Just like you were here, you'd think I was insane
I hold these conversations in the silence of my room
Rehearsing all the things I'd say should I run into you
"How's it going?" might be what I'd say
"You broke my heart you know" or "It looks like rain today"
Or maybe, "God, I missed you since you went away"
"You're lookin' well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say
There's times I feel so angry I'd put my fist right through the wall
Then there's times I've come so close to giving you a call
I love you and I hate you all at the same time
I pray that you'll come back to me before I lose my mind
"How's it going?" might be what I'd say
"You broke my heart you know" or "It looks like rain today"
Or maybe, "God, I missed you since you went away"
"You're lookin' well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say
Guess you'll have to wait until that day
To find out what I'd say
"God, I missed you since you went away"
"Your looking well" or "Go to hell" might be what I'd say

You say you're surprised
I thought I'd write today
Pieces of my life
That time can't fade away
Land lies dry - Africa
And the clouds roll by - Africa
I held you every night
I believed in all you'd say
Now the dust blows in my eyes
But those dreams won't fade away
The sky burns red - Africa
Don't you cry - Africa
Africa
When you cry it rains - Africa
Still the children smile - Africa
When you cry it rains - Africa
When the wild dogs howl - Africa
Still the clouds roll by - Africa

I will show you something to see

In the badlands -- oh give it to me

In a world that once was mine

On the edge of time
But these days I'm running through the dark
Like a blind man -- what's happened to me?
There days I'm running from a tribe in the badlands
Oh set me free

Oh touch my life and set me free

Kiss today goodbye
The sweetness and the sorrow
Wish me luck, the same to you
But I can't forget what I did for love

The gift was ours to borrow
It's as if we always knew
And I won't regret what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone, love is never gone
As we travel on
Love's what we'll remember
Kiss today goodbye
And point me toward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Can't forget
Won't regret what I did for love
What I did for love...
What I did for love...
What I did for love...

That we can sing the whole day long
Hi-ho, if any thing goes wrong

And somewhere in the country
We’ll find a little nest
We’ll pay a porter’s rent
And they can sue us for the rest
Hi-ho, lackaday

What Have They Done To The Rain?
Composer(s): Malvina Reynolds
Performer(s): The Searchers;
and various other artists
Just a little rain falling all around
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
Just a little rain, just a little rain
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
Just a little breeze out of the sky
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
What have they done to the rain

Africa
((African Version: Afrika (by Tukuleur) - 2000))
Composer(s): Jeff Porcaro - David Paich
First release by: Toto - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
'Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you'
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

What Have I Gained From Loving You
What Have I Gained From Loving You
Spanish Title: Qué He Sacado Con Quererte
Composer(s): Violeta Parra
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
What have I gained from the moon that we both watched together
What have I gained with the names written on the wall
Just like the calendar changes, so changes everything in this world
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
What have I gained from the lily that we planted in the patio
It wasn't just one who was planting it, but two lovers
Gardener, your garden has not changed with time
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
What have I gained from the shadow of the aromo tree for a witness
And the trace of four feet by the road side
What have I gained from loving you, little carnation in bloom
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay
Here is the same moon, and in the patio the white lily
The two names on the wall and your trail on the road
But you, ungrateful dove, no longer coo in my nest
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay

Africa (Adriano Celentano)
Africa
Composer(s): Rosario Bella - Gianni Bella - Mogol Audio 2
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano
Le giraffe dal lungo, lungo collo
sopra gli alberi bruciano la vita
nel silenzio, la pace più assoluta
uno sparo e l'aria è lacerata
Un bambino è spaventato
stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita
Una scimmia da lontano
alza il capo incuriosita...
I leoni sdraiati lì nell'ombra
siamo in tanti
con i cuccioli giocano a graffiarsi già
innocenti
paradiso di vita, naturale
siamo in tanti
uno sparo e un grido che fa male
obbedienti
un bambino è spaventato
senza amore
stringe l'arma con forza tra le dita
senza guida
e la gente da lontano
com'è ingiusta
abbassa gli occhi un'altra volta piangendo
questa sfida
e quel sole non si nasconde mai
le capanne là
e quel sole impietoso sopra noi
desolate ma
dov'e l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su
nel cuore tanta libertà
ma vediamo sempre e solo blu
no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai
quegli occhi vivi
solo l'odio può farci male ormai
e luccicanti che
tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci
han bisogno anche di te
tu fratello perché non mi conosci?
In questa immensità
siamo in tanti
quanti delitti non si sa
innocenti
si respira l'amore
siamo in tanti
si respira il dolore
No, non abbiamo mai visto la neve
siamo già contenti quando piove
donne belle e dolci come il miele
il sudore sulle labbra sa di sale
e quel sole non si nasconde mai
Le capanne là
e quel sole impietoso sopra noi
desolate ma
dov'è l'acqua? Alziamo gli occhi in su
nel cuore tanta libertà
ma vediamo sempre e solo blu
no la fame non ci ha sconfitto mai
quegli occhi vivi
solo l'odio può farci male ormai
e luccicanti che
tu fratello sei un lago senza pesci
han bisogno anche di te
tu fratello perché non mi conosci?
