All My Ex's Live In Texas


All My Ex's Live In Texas
Composer(s): Sanger D. Schafer - Lyndia Shafer
Performer(s): George Strait



All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

Rosanna's down in Texarkana
wanted me to push her broom
Sweet EileenÕs in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
and Allison & Otilde's in Galveston
somehow lost her sanity
and Dimple & Otilde's who now lives in Temple's
got the law looking for me

All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee

I remember that old Frio River
where I learned to swim
but it brings to mind another time
where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
but I always come back to myself
long before daylight

All my ex's live in Texas
and Texas is the place Id dearly love to be
but all my ex's live in Texas
therefore I reside in Tennessee

Some folks think I'm hidin'
It's been rumored that I died
but I'm alive and well in Tennessee

Agualuna


Agualuna
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Creo en el padre y en el hombre
pero no creo en el mar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
en las mareas sobreviven
las ballenas con radar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?

Hay una niña que hoy empieza
con muñecas a jugar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
desde el cielo la vigila
una estrella de metal

Por qué a la Luna se la juegan
como en mesa de billar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
unos arriba, otros abajo,
nadie quiere la mitad
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?

Y de qué lado quedaremos
cuando llegue el final
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
éntrate niña que allá afuera
el invierno va a llegar…

Un marinero llamado Colón
viajó de la noche al sol
y un astronauta que ayer jubiló
se sienta en la plaza
su tiempo se escapa
del cielo lo mira un gorrión.

En la mitad de este viaje
hoy me pongo a pensar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
la diferencia es tan grande
entre un sueño y la verdad…
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?

Allá en lo alto está volando
el valiente Superman
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
mas abajo un campesino
busca tierra pa´ sembrar

Creo en el padre y en el hombre
pero creo más en ti
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
siento que existe un horizonte
que comienza en tu jardín
¿Por qué? ¿por qué?

Allá en tu patio hay una niña
que hoy empieza a caminar
¿Por qué? ¿Por qué?
Por qué la noche se hace corta
cuando aún quiero soñar…

When April Comes Again


When April Comes Again
Composer(s): Doris Schaefer; Randy Weston
Performer(s): Mel Tormé;
and various other artists



If you can't remember now, if love has lost its way
If romance grows dim with each passing day
If you've forgotten how we met in April rain
Wait 'til April comes again

When robins return, and spring has softened winter's chill
Will you then recall?
Will your heart stand still?
Will you remember how we met in April rain?
Love me when April comes again

Will you remember how we met in April rain?
And love me when April comes?
It may not come for long
I will always love you when April comes again

Agua Dulce, Agua Sala


Agua Dulce, Agua Sala
Composer(s): Hal Batt - Estéfano Donato
Performer(s): Julio Iglesias
and multiple other artists



Con el pasar de los años he aprendido en la vida
que se vive intensamente porque si no te termina...
...el cariño es más bueno
Se aprecia lo que se tiene y se respeta lo ajeno
Agua dulce, agua sala´, por agua viene, por agua se va...
...Bendita la vida, te quita te da
Agua que cae del cielo sobre las olas del mar
yo te quiero beber dulce y tú te pones salá...
...hay que dar bien los pasos
tomar el mejor camino aunque se te haga el más largo...
...de las penas se aprende
El corazón se hace duro y el sentimiento más fuerte...

When Angels Cry


When Angels Cry
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian



Wait
Your tired arms must rest
Let this moment pass
Wait until the morning
Close your eyes and let me see
who you used to be
Left without a warning
Who knew one so big could grow so small
Lighter than the writing on the wall

When angels cry, can I stand by
When stones weep, can my heart sleep
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
The power of a four-letter word

Only love will matter in the end
For woman or for man
What's the difference now?
Here, we live with bottles
and needles and truth
Here is your living proof
that death cannot be proud
Some say it's a judgement on us all
I can't believe that God could be that small

When angels cry, can I stand by
When stones weep, can my heart sleep
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
Wish I'd never heard
The power of a four-letter word

If ever was a heart that longed to fly
If ever was a soul that longed to bloom
If ever was an angel, it was you
So close your eyes and say goodbye
Goodbye

When angels cry, I can't stand by
When stones weep, my heart can't sleep
Guess I've finally learned
Guess I've finally learned
Yes, I've finally learned
Love is just a four letter word
Hope is just a four letter word

Agua De La Luna


Agua De La Luna
Composer(s): De Benedictis Fandermole
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto



Como si cerrara los ojos
hasta el final de los oceanos
pensare que tengo descanso
de hacerme polvo de estos sueños
que en la calle hay luna
piedra que un dia podre nombrar
Agua de la luna
agua de la luna

Preguntare de vida en vida
de quien serian esos ojos
y aquella piel apenas vista
en un recuerdo a medio borrar
una sed absurda
que nunca nadie pudo calmar
Agua de la luna
agua de la luna

Tenemos nombres tan remotos
y la mirada hecha
del mismo material de los espejos
que caen hacia los dos abismos.
no se soy quien queda
o el recuerdo del que ya se fue
agua de la luna
quiero agua de la luna
para esta sed
agua de luna
agua de la luna
quien podra beber
agua de la luna
agua de la luna, imposible

When A Woman Loves A Man (Lee Roy Parnell)


When A Woman Loves A Man
Composer(s): Mark Luna; Rafe VanHoy
Performer(s): Lee Roy Parnell



She plays her cards close to the vest
To hide the heart she wears on her sleeve
Sometimes she's caught between the woman that she is
and the one she's expected to be
But with an innocent smile
And the should of a child
She's always giving more than she can

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man

She knows how to hang on your every word
And she knows how to look the other way
She'll whisper to you what no man has heard
Secrets she would never give away

With her arms opened wide
She'll take you inside
And hold you in the palm of her hand

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
She will be there to the end
When a woman loves a man

And when all you've got to give her
Is nothing more than a dream
She'll sacrifice for love to prove to you
Her mind's made up
To stand by you through everything

When a woman loves a man
When a woman loves a man
She will be there to the end
When a woman loves a man

When A Woman Loves A Man (Dinah Washington)


When A Woman Loves A Man
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Bernard Hanighen; Gordon Jenkins
Performer(s): Dinah Washington;
and various other artists



Maybe he's not much
Just another man, doing what he can
But what does she care when a woman loves a man?

She'll just string along
All through thick and thin till his ship comes in
That's how it goes when a woman loves a man

She'll be the first one to praise him when he's goin' strong
The last one to blame him when ev'rything is wrong
It's such a one-sided game that they play
But women are funny that way

Tell her she's a fool
She'll say yes, I know, but I love him so
That's how it goes when a woman loves a man

Your love is rain My heart the flower I need your love or I will die My very life is your power Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky Aqua de Beber Give the flower water to drink Aqua de Beber Give the flower water to drink The rain can fall On distant deserts The rain can fall upon the sea The rain can fall upon the flower Since the rain has to fall let it fall on me Aqua de Beber Give the flower water to drink Aqua de Beber Give the flower water to drink

When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home


When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Moon Mullican; Lou Wayne
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



I’m alone with all my sorrow
It’s so hard to face tomorrow
'Cause I knocked and no one met me at the door

I have asked the next door neighbor
What you’ve packed and went away for
But they only say; You don’t live here no more

When I sailed across the blue
I thought I could count on you
But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

It’s a shame you couldn’t be here
What a sorry sight to see here
When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home

Ah do it pretty Billy

When I sailed across the blue
I thought I could count on you
But I’ve come back home sweetheart to find you gone

It’s a shame you couldn’t be here
What a sorry sight to see here
When A Soldier Knocks And Finds Nobody Home

Agua Clara


Agua Clara
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - Ross Cullum - Sandy McLelland
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Agua Clara pa beber
de mi mano te daré
Agua Clara pa beber

Fuente Pura que ha escapao
con Arroyo del Edén
van tocaos en el costao...

Agua Pura al río va
se le entrubia la mira
¡qué fatiga en su caudal!

Agua Clara que me envenena
este amor que se me enciende y me quema
Ay! mi corazón

Luna se quiere espejar
yo, clamar mi sed
ni ella se puede mirar
ni yo beber
novia con cola de pez
que inquietante es
turbia y serena a la vez
siento que es...

Agua Clara que me envenena
este amor que se me enciende y me quema
Agua Clara, lluvia de mayo
es un aguamor que me ahoga despacio
Agua Clara que me envenena
Ay! mi corazón

Agua Clara pa beber
de mi mano no podré
darte el agua pa beber

Agua Clara que me envenena
este amor que se me enciende y me quema
Agua Clara me arde en las venas
este amor se va hacia el mar de la pena
Ay! mi corazón

When A Man Loves A Woman


When A Man Loves A Woman
Composer(s): Calvin Lewis; Andrew Wright
Performer(s): Percy Sledge



When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd change the world for the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman
He'll spend his very last dime
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
Well, this man loves you, woman
I gave you everything I have
Tryin' to hold on to your hot blood long
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Down deep in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playin' him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Lovin' eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman
he can do her no wrong
he can never hug
some other girl
Yes, when a man loves a woman
I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, you're
When a man loves a woman....

Agricultural Irish Girl


Agricultural Irish Girl
Composer(s): J.F. Mitchell
Performer(s): Val Doonican



If all the girls in Ireland
Were gathered up together
There's none like my Mary Ann
In every kind of weather
The rain won't wash the powder off her face
She doesn't wear it
And her figure and face are all her own
The truth I must declare it

She's a fine stout lump
Of agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her own
She can strike that hard you would think
That you were hit by the kick of a mule
But the full of a house of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone

She was never e-d-u-cated
She doesn't know her letters
But she's all a lady wants my boys
And better than her betters
She doesn't speak ital-i-an
Or read the sporting papers
But she knows the horse will win the race
She knows the form by jabers

She was only seventeen last year
But still she's growing greatly
I wonder what her form will be
When she fills out completely
You's think your hand was in a vice
The minute that she'd take it
And if there's any cake at hand
Tis Mary Ann will ate it

She's a fine stout lump
Of agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her own
She can strike that hard you would think
That you were hit by the kick of a mule
But the full of a house of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone

For she's a fine stout lump
Of an agricultural Irish girl
Her face is worth a fortune
And her figure is all her
But she can hit that hard....Oooh
You'ld think it the kick of a mule you got
The fill of your arms of Irish love
Is Mary Ann Malone

When A Guitar Plays The Blues


When A Guitar Plays The Blues
Performer(s): Albert Collins



You get the strangest kinda feelin'
that's when the guitar plays the blues
I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin'
that's when a guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message
and you know, you know, your soul has just got to move

You might even bat your eye
You might even snap or cry
The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe
You know you just can't hide

You're kinda strokin' like that
You're kinda bendin' like this
And it reaches down inside you
And your soul just can't resist
You get the same kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body sure gets the message
Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move

And when the music is over
And it's time to turn out the lights
You know the blues goes home with ya
Soothes you through the night

You get the strange kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message
And you know, you know, you know
Your soul has just got to move

Agora Falando Sério


Agora Falando Sério
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Agora falando sério
Eu queria não cantar
A cantiga bonita
Ue se acredita
Que o mal espanta
Dou um chute no lirismo
Um pega no cachorro
E um tiro no sabiá
Dou um fora no violino
Faço a mala e corro
Pra não ver a banda passar

Agora falando sério
Eu queria não mentir
Não queria enganar
Driblar, iludir
Tanto desencanto
E você que está me ouvindo
Quer saber o que está havendo
Com as flores do meu quintal?
O amor-perfeito, traindo
A sempre-viva, morrendo
E a rosa, cheirando mal

Agora falando sério
Preferia não falar
Nada que distraísse
O sono difícil
Como acalanto
Eu quero fazer silêncio
Um silêncio tão doente
Do vizinho reclamar
E chamar polícia e médico
E o síndico do meu prédio
Pedindo pra eu cantar

Agora falando sério
Eu queria não cantar
Falando sério

Agora falando sério
Preferia não falar
Falando sério

When A Boy Falls In Love


When A Boy Falls In Love
Composer(s): Sam Cooke; Clinton Levert Jr.
Performer(s): Sam Cooke



I've heard them say love was a wonderful thing
Something you couldn't hide on a shelf
But to me they no longer have to explain
Because I know for myself

He awakens each morn with a smile on his face
When a boy is in love
and the world to him is a beautiful place
When a boy is in love

He's up and he's gone, there's no breakfast for him
'Cause he lives on the love of his sweet little gem
The days are through, though it's not very long
Before he must talk to his girl on the phone
That's how it is when a boy falls in love

His girl's voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight
When a boy is in love
If there's been any darkness and all face from sight
When a boy is in love

He can hardly wait till the moment they meet
For he knows when he sees her, his day will be complete
When they're finally alone and he kisses her lips
The world sings a love song and his heart turns a flip
That's how it is when a boy falls in love

At the end of the day the time comes they must part
The strains of regret tear away at his heart
and late in the night, as he sleeps in his bed
Visions of her sweet charm, how they dance in his head
& before you know, he is buying a ring
To capture forever that sweet darlin' thing
That's how it is when a boy falls in love

Agnese


Agnese
Composer(s): Ivan Graziani - Di I. Elaborazione
Performer(s): Ivan Graziani



Se la mia chitarra piange dolcemente
stasera non è sera di vedere gente
e i giochi nella strada che ho chiusi dentro al petto
mi voglio ricordare

Io penso ad un barcone rovesciato al sole
in un giorno in pieno agosto le biciclette in riva al mare
Agnese mi parlava e la sabbia era infuocata
ed io non so perché non l'ho dimenticata

Lei mi raccontava di quello che la gente
diceva del suo corpo con malizia ed allegria
ed io che sto provando le cose che provavo ieri
non ho capito ancora
se è gelosia se sono prigioniero
di questo cielo nero e di un ricordo che fa male
e se continuo a bere i miei liquori inquinati
è vero che quei giorni non li ho dimenticati

E' uscito un po' di sole da questo cielo nero
l'inverno cittadino sembra quasi uno straniero
Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata
adesso che ci penso non ti ho mai baciata

Agnese dolce Agnese color di cioccolata
adesso che ci penso

Io vado in bicicletta per sentirmi vivo
alle 5 di mattina con la nebbia nei polmoni
però non c'è più Agnese seduta sul manubrio
a cantar canzoni a cantar canzoni

When A Blind Man Cries


When A Blind Man Cries
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan;
Roger Glover; Jon Lord; Ian Paice
Performer(s): Deep Purple;
and various other artists



If you're leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me greaving, lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord you know there ain't no sadder tale

Had a friend once, in a room
Had a good time, but it ended much to soon
In a cold month, in that room
Found a reason for the things we had to do

I'm a blind, I'm a blind man
Now my world is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord you know he feels it from his soul

Agnes


Agnes
Composer(s): Mark Avsec - Ierace
Performer(s): Donnie Iris



We were standing on the corner one night
Me and Agnes
She had these tight jeans on
And these high shoes
Bad

It was a warm September night
Wind was blowin' through the trees
This dude Louie was looking for a fight

He knocked me down with all his might

He put a gun up to my head
Stay away from her or you'll be dead
Don't you ever see that girl he said

Agnes was a waitress at our bar
Louie said she'd never go too far
Louie didn't see her in my car
Louie didn't see her in my car
After that fight at Louie's bar

Yeah Agnes
Caused you all this sadness
(He didn't know that you were out of your mind)
What you did was madness
(He didn't know it was the end of the line)
Someday we're gonna pay
(He had it coming to him)
We gotta watch out
(Watch out)
There's been talk about
(I didn't know that you were out of your mind)
Soon they're gonna find out
(I didn't know it was the end of the line)
What we did that day
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

She got off work at 2 o'clock
We drove away so we could talk
We didn't see Louie in the dark

Louie pulled me out onto the ground
Then I saw Louie start to run
He didn't know she had his gun
(He didn't know she had his gun)
I didn't know she had his gun

Oh-oh Agnes
He caused you all this sadness
(He didn't know that you were out of your mind)
It was madness
(He didn't know it was the end of the line)
We're gonna pay
(He had it coming to him)
Oh oh we have to watch out
(Watch out)
You know there's been alotta talk about
(I didn't know that you were out of your mind)
Someday soon they're gonna find out
(I didn't know it was the end of the line)
You better never look back
(He had it coming to him)
Baby don't look back
We got to run now
Baby throw away the gun now
(He didn't know that you were out of your mind)
Baby baby baby it's tough now
Someday we're gonna pay
