Beauty
Beauty
Composer(s): Wade Flemons - Maurice White - Don Whitehead
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
Oh when I look around me
This old world seems so troubled to me
Does no one see
The beauty that surrounds them
Take a look around you now (sometimes)
Pretty little blossoms, oh yeah
Just as sweet as can be, yeah yeah
(You know) It troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart, give a little love
love, love, love, love
Does no one see
The beauty that surrounds them
Take a look around you now (sometimes)
Pretty little blossoms, oh yeah
Just as sweet as can be, yeah yeah
(You know) It troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart and love more open up
Open up your heart, give a little love
love, love, love, love
It troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love
It troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
You know it troubles my mind
These troubled times we need love
The world needs love, let there be love

Beautiful, Unhappy Home
Beautiful, Unhappy Home
Composer(s): Teddy Wilburn - Johnny Russell
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn
We were proud of this house that we found
On a street in a nice part of town
Had it furnished with care we were once happy here
Now it's a beautiful unhappy home
Planted red sweet hard roses for you
Painted our room your favorite blue
Now, the colors remain but our love's not the same
Oh it's a beautiful unhappy home
What a beautiful unhappy home
It's so hard to believe it's our own
But we're both held here by a child we love dear
In this beautiful unhappy home
Yes we're both held here by a child we love dear
In this beautiful unhappy home
In our beautiful unhappy home

Are My Ears On Straight?
Are My Ears On Straight?
Performer(s): Gayla Peevey
I'm a little doll who was dropped and broken
Falling off my Mommy's knee
I'm a little doll who has just been mended
Now won't you tell me please
Are my ears on straight, is my nose in place
Have I got a cute expression on my face
Are my blue eyes bright, do I look all right
To be taken home Christmas Day
When I first came here, just a month ago
Brought in by a little girl who loved me so
She began to cry, 'til they told her I
Could be taken home Christmas Day
Christmas Eve is drawing nearer, and I'm getting scared
Wish I could see in a mirror, how I've been repaired
I'll be called for soon, but I'm worried so
Will she love me like she did a month ago
Are My Ears On Straight, I can hardly wait
To be taken home Christmas Day

Beautiful Zelda
Beautiful Zelda
Composer(s): Neil Innes
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
She's broken all the super hearts of the
Super Heroes of the galaxy
So why does she wanna mess around with me?
yeah...
Listen to my story
It's sad but it's true
Please don't laugh, it could happen to you
Beautiful Zelda from Galaxy Four (oh no)
Suddenly walked through my door
Beautiful Zelda, leave me alone
Just get on back to the Twilight Zone
Don't try your jive on a poor Earth boy
'Cause your kind of love don't bring me no joy
(oh no!)
A fourth dimensional space warp brought her to me
Oh yeah
The most beautiful girl I ever did see
Oh yeah
She gave me her hand but when I held her
Oh yeah
I was fooled by the beautiful Zelda
Beautiful Zelda, tell me the truth
I'm just a clean livin' all-Earth youth
Don't try your jive on a poor Earth boy
'Cause your kind of love don't bring me no joy
Beautiful Zelda

Las Cosas Que Uno Quiere
Las Cosas Que Uno Quiere
Composer(s): Rubén Goldin
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Yo tengo para mis amigos
la libertad
de dejarlos solos cuando quieran
matarse en un recuerdo
Yo quiero para mis amigos
la mejor tierra
un mate calentito en el invierno
y una triguena que les quite el sueño
Y en las tardes mansas
una nueva cancion que hable de ellos
de la gente que uno quiere
de la gente que uno quiere
de la gente que uno quiere
No puedo ver esos muchachos
en la derrota
parados en el medio de la vida
sin saber que hacer
Yo quiero que juntemos nuestras fuerzas
y mueran los miedos
creciendo para arriba sin veneno
como crece el maiz
Esto no es un juego, lo sabemos muy bien
la vida no es una novela
levantamos los brazos hacia el sol
Y en las tardes mansas
una nueva cancion que hable de ellas
de las cosas que uno quiere

Beautiful World
Beautiful World
Composer(s): Paul Carrack - T-Bone Wolk
Performer(s): Paul Carrack
Beautiful World, you taught me to remember
All the feelings, I lost along the way
I was afraid, alone in my confusion
Running and hiding `stead of living from day to day
When we were walking, we touched the summer flowers
And I saw the wonder, oh in a young child`s eye
Well I looked around and saw how truly grateful
That I should be for all the love I`ve found
Beautiful World well you shook me to my senses
And opened my eyes to the love inside of me
It`s up to me, if I can always believe
In the way I see it now, what a Beautiful World
It would always be

Las Cosas Del Amor
Las Cosas Del Amor
((French & Italian Versions: Les Choses De L'amour (by Dalida); Credo Nell'amore (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi - Paul de Senneville - Gefingal
Performer(s): Dalida
Una cita en abril, entre nubes y sol
Esperando feliz, pendiente del reloj
Y juntos otra vez, tratar de descubrir
el cómo y el porqué, me quieres e yo a ti
Mirarnos nada mas, que con el corazón
Andando sin notar, que cae un chaparrón
Volver a recordar, la dulce sensación
Del beso sin final, de aquel primer adiós
Ayer hoy y mañana creamos entre dos
Con gestos y palabras
Las cosas del amor
El sabor del café, que hay que recalentar
Tu sabes bien porqué, en cada despertar
El tren donde te vas, por la primera vez
Que nos horas llenar, de besos el andén
Darte celos por ver, tu desesperación
Abrazarnos después, riéndonos los dos
Reñir sin mas ni mas, sabiendo que otra vez
Podremos disfrutar, la dicha de volver
Ayer hoy y mañana creamos entre dos
Con gestos y palabras
Las cosa del amor
Una cita en Octubre, con el ultimo sol
Del verano que ya, el otoño enfrió
Amarnos otra vez, sintiéndonos tú y yo
Distintos desde ayer, iguales desde hoy
Ver sin ningún temor, el tiempo que se va
Muy juntos al calor, de la felicidad
El niño que a los dos, se nos parecerá
Nos guía con su vez, hacia la eternidad
Ayer hoy y mañana creamos entre dos
Con gestos y palabras
Las cosas del amor

Beautiful Things
Beautiful Things
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
First performance by: Anthony Newley - 1967
I can't explain what it is that he is
But he is what he is for a very good reason
I can't explain why he does what he does
But he does what he does cause his heart is pure
If that much, I'm sure
I’m sure from the way he spoke the other day
He lives in a world of fantasy
And that is a world I plan to see
Fantasy, can't you see?
The world is full of beautiful things
Butterfly wings, fairy tale kings
And each new day undoubtedly brings
Still more beautiful things
The world abounds with many delights
Magical sights, fanciful flights
And those who dream on beautiful nights
Dream of beautiful things
Beautiful days for sunshine lazin'
Beautiful skies and shores
Beautiful days when I can gaze
In beautiful eyes - like yours
Our lives tick by like pendulum swings
Poor little things, puppets on strings
Life is full of beautiful things
Beautiful people too
Beautiful people
Like you

Les Choses De L'amour
Les Choses De L'amour
((Italian & Spanish Versions: Credo Nell'amore (by Dalida); Las Cosas Del Amor (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Chris Michaelessi - Paul de Senneville
Performer(s): Dalida
Un rendez-vous d'avril au bord de la tamise
Et deux cœurs qui s'allument soudain au coin du jour
Partir le soir ensemble pour découvrir Venise
Et retrouver Paris en découvrant l'amour
Dîner sans ce presser le cœur au fond des yeux
Et marcher sous la pluie ne sachant pas qu'il pleut
Revoir un film d'amour qui nous ressemble un peu
Et ce serre la main quand ils se disent adieux
Voilà, les mots les gestes qui font nos nuits nos jours
Les souvenirs qui reste des choses de l'amour
Le café du matin posé au coin du lit
Et qu'il faut réchauffer parce qu'il c'est refroidit
Le train ou tu t'en va pour la première fois
Le quai ou tu reviens et je ne vois que toi
Te rendre un peu jaloux et rire de tes colères
Qui me rassure surtout quand il fait froid l'hiver
Claquer la porte soudain pour ce défaire de nous
Ce quitter pour un rien ce retrouver pour tous
Voilà, les mots les gestes qui font nos nuits nos jours
Les souvenirs qui reste des choses de l'amour
Un rendez-vous d'octobre au bord de la tamise
Et deux cœurs se retrouvent dans la nuit qui frissonne
Refaire l'amour ensemble en revoyant Venise
Et n'avoir peur de rien pas même de l'automne
Voir les années qui passe avec la certitude
Que quoi que le temps fasse avec ses habitudes
L'enfant qui te ressemble et qu'on aura demain
Pourra nous continuer jusqu'au dernier matin
Voilà, les mots les gestes qui font nos nuits nos jours
Les souvenirs qui reste des choses de l'amour

Beautiful Thing (Henry Kapono)
Beautiful Thing
Composer(s): Henry Kapono
Performer(s): Henry Kapono
I feel so lonely
I feel so empty inside
Just tell me one thing
Is this what love is like?
All I wanted was a beautiful thing
All I wanted was the love we had
All I wanted was you in my life
All I wanted was you in my life
She stole my thunder
She took my breath away
Now I sit and I wonder
Will I ever see her again?
All I wanted was a beautiful thing
All I wanted was the love we had
All I wanted was you in my life
All I wanted was you in my life

Las Ciudades
Las Ciudades
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Lola Beltrán
and multiple other artists
Te vi llegar y sentí la presencia
de un ser desconocido
te vi llegar y sentí lo que nunca
jamas había sentido
Te quise amar y tu amor
no era fuego no era lumbre
las distancias apartan las ciudades
las ciudades destruyen las costumbres
Te dije adios y pediste que nunca
que nunca te olvidara
te dije adios y senti de tu amor
otra vez la puerta extraña
Y mi alma completa
se me cubrio de hielo
y mi cuerpo entero
se lleno de frío
y estube apunto de cambiar tu mundo
de cambiar tu mundo por el mundo mío
Te vi llegar y sentí la presencia
de un ser desconocido
te vi llegar y sentí lo que nunca
jamas había sentido
Te quise amar y tu amor
no era fuego no era lumbre
las distancias apartan las ciudades
las ciudades destruyen las costumbres

Beautiful Thing (The Hawks)
Beautiful Thing
Composer(s): Richard Manuel - Rick Danko
First recording by: The Hawks - 1967
I've told you once, now you should know
The reason that I'm coming down
There ain't no time to repeat again
Just need to bring it around
We had a beautiful thing going
You couldn't see things my way
We had a beautiful thing going
Something just got in our way
And I told you once that it was rough
I looked on you as my friend
Because that did not seem to be good enough
And now it's time to begin
We've got a beautiful thing going
I hope that's the way it will stay
We've got a beautiful thing going
Nothing can stand in our way

Las Cartas De Laura
Las Cartas De Laura
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Zas
Son tan breves las cartas de Laura
desde París escribe, Laura
Se fue con la intención
de crecer sin mutilación
Nada que recordar
nadie para ver
y aunque se porte mal
no hay por qué temer
Conozco tus estados, Laura
ya no firmas las cartas, Laura
Si perdiste el control
y las cosas se ponen peor
tiempo para pedir
y tiempo para dar
tiempo para servir
y más para luchar
Y yo soy el que te espera
como a nadie esperé
Laura de cualquier manera
primero apaga tu sed
Ya que lo soñaste todo, Laura
alguna vez me lo vas a contar
si queda algo en tu interior
que por vergüenza o por pudor
No me queres decir
es mejor guardar
pensá que también aquí
hay tanto o más que ocultar
Y yo soy el que te espera
como a nadie esperé
Laura de cualquier manera
primero apaga tu sed
Y yo soy el que te espera
como a nadie esperé
Laura de cualquier manera
primero apaga tu sed

When you said said said said that you loved me
Oh my my my its a beautiful day

Beautiful Strange
Beautiful Strange
Performer(s): Prince
Strangely beautiful
Beautiful strange
That's what we said
Instead of the name
If you count the times
He took all the blame
You would find the reason
Behind the game
In the darkness
We must look for the way
Words so strange
That only the mind can say
If it makes no mind
What color or holy day
Why is this game
The only one that we play
Dive inside your soul if you wanna know
The light inside the darkness forever glows
The son is like the diamond inside the coal
And like an embryo it grows and grows

Las Alturas De Machu Picchu
Las Alturas De Machu Picchu
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Tu voz alguien la calló
tu honor, la espada, humilló
igual que a un cóndor preso
así, se te encarceló
Servir al conquistador
creer en su mismo dios
vivir sin tus raíces
así, se te condenó
Sube a buscar, sube a buscar, aquí, libertad
sube a encontrar, sube a encontrar, aquí, tu verdad
las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar
las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar
Aquí, adoraste al sol
aquí, se acató tu ley
aquí, no fuiste esclavo
aquí, siempre fuiste rey
Sube a nacer, sube a nacer, aquí, otra vez
sube a aprender, sube a aprender, aquí, otra vez
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
... Y el indio llora y al rezar
mira al sol, mira al sol
y se pregunta sin cesar
si su dios le olvidó
Sube a buscar, sube a buscar, aquí, libertad
sube a encontrar, sube a encontrar, aquí, tu verdad
las alturas de Machu Picchu nadie llegó a conquistar
Sube a nacer, sube a nacer, aquí, otra vez
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer
las alturas de Machu Picchu guardan la luz de tu ayer

Beautiful Queensland
Beautiful Queensland
Performer(s): Slim Dusty
You have all read the wonderful stories
Of the countries far over the sea
From whence came our ancestors
To establish this land of the free
There are some folk who still like to travel
To see what they have over there
But when they go look, it's not like the book
And they find there is none to compare
With beautiful, beautiful Queensland
Out where the wild flowers grow (flowers grow)
We're proud of our beautiful climate
Where we never see ice or snow
You can live on the plains or the mountains
Or down where the sea breezes blow
And you're still in beautiful Queensland
The most wonderful state that I know
An old timer called the ?...............?
And the fiddle was playing three quarter
I held your hand with a new wedding band
While Nelly sang Alan Water
And even now when we're older dear
I still hold a sweet memory
Of our wedding ball and the bridal waltz
They played for you and me
