When it comes to keep that beat,

That excites your dancin' feet,


I'm right here to tell you mister,
No-one can like the Drummer Man.

When it comes to doin' tricks,


With a pair of hick'ry sticks,
I'm right here to tell you sister,
No-one can like the Drummer Man.

Ev'ry man who plays in the band is,


Wonderful too,
I've got to give credit,
Where credit is due.

But when it comes to make that music hot,


Make you give it all it's got,
I'm right here to tell you mister,
No-one can like the Drummer Man.

On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)

On a clear day, rise and look around you


And you'll see who just prove you are

On a clear day, how it will astound you


That a glow of your being, outshines every star

You'll feel part of


Ev'ry mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before

And on a clear day, on that clear day


You can see forever, oh

And on that clear day on that clear clear day


You can see forever and ever and ever and evermore

Cantata - Storm Clouds

There came A whispered terror On the breeze

And the dark forest shook

And on the trembling trees

Came the nameless fear

And panic overtook


And panic overtook

Each flying creature

Of the wild

And when they all had fled

And when they all had fled

And when they all had fled

And when they all had fled

Yet stood the trees

Yet stood the trees

Yet stood the trees

Around whose heads, Screaming

The night birds wheeled and shot away

Yet stood the trees

Screaming The night birds

Wheeled And shot Away

Finding release

From that which drove them onward like their prey

Yet stood the trees

Finding release

From that which drove them onward like their prey

Yet stood the trees

Finding release

Finding release

The storm clouds broke

The storm clouds broke

The storm clouds

Finding release

From that which drove them onward like their prey

Yet stood the trees


Finding release

Finding release

from that which drove them onward like their prey

Yet stood the trees

Finding release

Finding release

The storm clouds broke

The storm clouds broke

The storm clouds broke and drowned the dying moon

The storm clouds broke And drowned the dying moon

The storm clouds broke

The storm clouds broke

The storm clouds broke

Finding release

The storm clouds broke

Finding release

The storm clouds broke

Finding release

The storm clouds broke

Finding

Release

The road goes ever on

When the cold of Winter comes


Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
(But in dreams)
I still hear your name
And in dreams
(And in dreams)
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall


And we come to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there
I will go there
And back again

How The West Was Won

The promised land, the land of plenty rich with gold,


Here came dreamers with Bible, fist and gun,
Bound for land, across the plains their wagons rolled
Hell bent for leather - that's how the West was won.

Side by side they tamed the savage prairie land,


Nothing stopped them - no wind, nor rain, nor sun.
Side by side these pioneers from ev'ry land,
All pulled together - that's how the West was won.

And they sang of the day when they would rest their boots
In a land where the still waters flow.
Where the dreams of a man and wife could put down roots
And their love and the seeds of love would grow.

Dream by dream they built a nation on this land


Forged in freedom for ev'ry mother's son.
Here it is, the beautiful the promised land
We won't forget them and how the West was won!
The West was won! The West was won!

I am bound for the promised land,


I'm bound for the promised land,
Oh, who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land.

It's a land of plenty that never fails


Where trees immortal grow,
Where rocks and hills and brooks and vales
With milk and honey flow.

And they sang of the day when they would rest their boots
In a land where the still waters flow.
Where the dreams of a man and wife could put down roots
And their love and the seeds of love would grow.
And grow and grow!

Dream by dream they built a nation on this land


Forged in freedom for ev'ry mother's son.
Here it is, the beautiful the promised land
We won't forget them and how the West was won!

HOWARD SHORE "LONG WAYS TO GO YET" LYRICS


Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry


Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye


We say you didn't try

These tears you cry


Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!

And you will weep


When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home

-----------------------------------------

E lucevan le stelle
Ed olezzava la terra
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
Ed un passo sfiorava la rena

Entrava ella, fragrante


Mi cadea fra le braccia
O dolci baci, o languide carezze
Mentr'io fremente

Le belle forme disciogliea dai veli


Svani per sempre
Il sogno mio d'amore
L'ora � fuggita

E muoio disperato
E muoio disperato
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita
Tanto la vita
Letra em portugu�s

E reluziam as estrelas
e perfumava a terra.
Rangia a porta da horta
e um passo ro�ava a areia

Entrava ela fragrante


me caia entre os bra�os.
Oh doces beijos, oh l�nguidas caricias
enquanto eu fremente

as bela formas livrava dos v�us


Desapareceu para sempre
o sonho meu de amor.
A hora fugiu

e morro desesperado,
e morro desesperado,
E n�o amei
nunca tanto a vida.

"Why Should I Care"

Was there something more I could have done?


Or was I not meant to be the one?
Where's the life I thought we would share?
And should I care?

And will someone else get more of you?


Will she go to sleep more sure of you?
Will she wake up knowing you're still there?
And why should I care?

There's always one to turn and walk away


And one who just wants to stay
But who said that love is always fair?
And why should I care?

Should I leave you alone here in the dark?


Holding my broken heart
While a promise still hangs in the air
Why should I care?

O children - Nick Cave

Pass me that lovely little gun


My dear, my darting one
The cleaners are coming, one by one
You don't even want to let them start

They are knocking now upon your door


They measure the room, they know the score
They're mopping up the butcher's floor
Of your broken little hearts

O children

Forgive us now for what we've done


It started out as a bit of fun
Here, take these before we run away
The keys to the gulag

O children
Lift up your voice (2X)

Children
Rejoice (2X)

Come on (3X)

And here comes Frank and poor old Jim


They're gathering 'round with all my friends
We're older now, the light is dim
And you are only just beginning

O children

We have the answer to all your fears


It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about and it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings

O children
Lift up your voice (2X)

Children
Rejoice (2X)

The cleaners have done their job on you


They're hip to it, man, they're in the groove
They've hosed you down, you're good as new
And they're lining up to inspect you

O children

Poor old Jim's white as a ghost


He's found the answer that we lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you

O children
Lift up your voice (2X)

Children
Rejoice (2X)

Hey little train! We are all jumping on


The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station
Hey, little train! Wait for me!
I once was blind but now I see
Have you left a seat for me
Is that such a stretch of the imagination?

Hey little train! Wait for me!


I was held in chains but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see
In this process of elimination

Hey little train! We are all jumping on


The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
It's beyond my wildest expectation

Hey little train! We are all jumping on


The train that goes to the Kingdom
We're happy, Ma, we're having fun
And the train ain't even left the station

Hey, little train! Wait for me!


I once was blind but now I see...

Glee � Marry You

It�s a beautiful night,


We�re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey, baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,


Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,


No one will know,
Come on, girl.
Who cares if we�re trashed, got a pocket full of cash we can blow,
Shots of patron,
And it�s on, girl.

Don�t say no, no, no, no-no;


Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we�ll go, go, go, go-go.
If you�re ready, like I�m ready.

Cause it�s a beautiful night,


We�re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey, baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,


Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

I�ll go get a ring, let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So, whatcha wanna do?
Let�s just run, girl.

If we wake up and you wanna break up, that�s cool.


No, I won�t blame you;
It was fun, girl.

Don�t say no, no, no, no-no;


Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we�ll go, go, go, go-go.

Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Just say "I do"...


Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby. (2X)

Cause it�s a beautiful night,


We�re looking for something dumb to do.
Hey, baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes,


Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares, baby,

It's Too Late - Carole King


Stayed in bed all mornin'
Just to pass the time.
There's somethin' wrong here.
There can be no denying.
One of us is changin'
Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby,


Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..

It used to be so easy
Livin' here with you.
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do.
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby,


Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no..

There'll be good times again


For me and you,
But we just can't stay together.
Don't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you,

But it's too late, baby,


Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..

It's too late, baby.


It's too late, now, darlin'.
It's too late

Somewhere In My Memory
John Williams

Candles in the window,


shadows painting the ceiling,
gazing at the fire glow,
feeling that gingerbread feeling.
Precious moments,
special people,
happy faces,
I can see.

Somewhere in my mem'ry,
Christmas joys all around me,
living in my mem'ry,
all of the music,
all of the magic,
all of the fam'ly home here with me

SAILING

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Chorus:
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me


When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

Chorus

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right, you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Chorus

JURA SECRETA
(Sueli Costa e Abel Silva)

S� uma coisa me entristece


O beijo de amor que n�o roubei
A jura secreta que n�o fiz
A briga de amor que n�o causei
Nada do que posso me alucina
Tanto quanto o que n�o fiz
Nada que eu quero me suprime
De que por n�o saber
'Inda n�o quis
S� uma palavra me devora
Aquela que meu cora��o n�o diz
Sol que me cega
O que me faz infeliz
� o brilho do olhar
Que n�o sofri.

Devolva-Me
Adriana Calcanhoto

Rasgue as minhas cartas e


N�o me procure mais
Assim ser� melhor, meu bem.
O retrato que eu te dei,
Se ainda o tens n�o sei,
Mas se tiver, devolva-me.
Deixe-me sozinho porque assim
Eu viverei em paz,
Quero que sejas bem feliz
Junto do seu novo rapaz.

Rasgue as minhas cartas e


N�o me procure mais
Assim vai ser melhor, meu bem.
O retrato que eu te dei,
Se ainda o tens n�o sei,
Mas se tiver...
Devolva-me.
Devolva-me.
Devolva-me.

Both Sides Now


Joni Mitchell

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, i've looked at cloud that way.
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
So many things i would have done but clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,


From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions i recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real; i've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. you leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now,


From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions i recall.
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "i love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,


From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions i recall.
I really don't know life at all.

Julie Delpy - An Ocean Apart


by Julie Delpy
Now we are together, sitting outside in the sunshine
But soon we'll be apart and soon it'll be night at noon
Now things are fine, the clouds are far away up in the sky
But soon I'll be on a plane and soon you'll feel the cold rain

You promised to stay in touch when we're apart


You promised before i left that you'll always love me.
Time goes by, people cry, everything goes too fast.
Now we have each other enjoying each moment with one another
But soon I'll be miles away and soon the phone will be our only
way

You promised we'll never brake up over the telephone


You said our love was stronger than an ocean apart
Time goes by and people lie, everything goes too fast.

Let's not fool ourselves in vain, this far away trip will give
us pain
We'll have to be so strong to keep our love from going wrong
Distance will make us cold, even put our love on hold
But soon we'll meet again and soon it'll be bright at noon
again

You promised not to loose faith in our love when i'm away
You promised so much to me but now you've left me
We go by and then we lie all this time we wasted
Time goes by, people lie everything goes too fast.

Time went by, and then we died, everything went too fast.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

When i was very young


The world was younger than i
As merry as a carousel

The circus tent was strung


With every star in the sky
Above the ring i loved so well

Now the young world has grown old


Gone are the tinsel and gold

Sit there, and count your fingers


What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, litle girl blue

Sit there, and count the raindrops


Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use, old girl


You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

No use, old girl


You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

PIERROT
(Marina Lima)

Sim, eu resolvi me ausentar


Para ocultar a minha dor
Fugi, menti
Talvez por pudor

Desde ent�o tanta coisa aconteceu


Que eu parei pr� melhor pensar:
Voltei pr� te dizer o quanto eu senti
N�o te beijar

E a vida segue, sempre nesse vai e vem


Que n�o passa das ondas do amor
Gira, roda
Como um pierrot

Eis que um dia aquela bela casa cai


E n�o h� mais como negar:
Voltei pr� te dizer que aqui no meu Brasil
Outra flor n�o h�

Aqui: cada cidade � uma ilha, sem la�os, tra�os, sem trilha
E o medo a nos rodear
Ent�o: bem vindos � minha terra feita de homens em guerra
E outros loucos pra amar

E tem sido assim, desde que o mundo � mundo


Os homens temem a paix�o
Ela fere, ela mata
Tal qual um drag�o

Enfrentar ainda causa tanto medo


Mas fugir � bem pior:
Voltei pr� te dizer que nessa guerra
N�o h� vencedor

Aqui: cada cidade � um port, disse o poeta prum broto


Que n�o queria arriscar
Vem, bem vindo a minha terra, feita de homens em guerra
E um outro louco pr� amar

ARQUIVO II
(Bid/Marina Lima/Alvin L.)

O brilho dos far�is


Me leva �quele hotel
Como num Dali. o quarto derreteu.
4:25, sobraram os copos e eu

Eu entendi muito bem o que voc� disse


N�o houve engano algum
Nossa, voc� foi t�o clara
Suas palavras ainda fervem na minha mente
E seu fogo ainda queima o cora��o

Acreditar. n�o posso acreditar


Como algu�m t�o livre se deixa escravizar
Desistir, como se fosse s� deletar

N�o houve engano algum


Eu entendi muito bem o que voc� disse
N�o houve engano algum
Absolutamente, voc� foi t�o clara
Suas palavras ainda ardem na mem�ria
E aquele fogo ainda queima o cora��o

Outro dia quente, o mar envolve sem


Apagar dos olhos o brilho de quem tem
Um arquivo do passado e a fome do que ainda vem

Olha, o que t� dito, t� dito


E o que foi feito tamb�m
Mas certas coisas
Nem as palavras podem apagar
Nem o tempo, nem o fogo, nem a fome, nem o corpo, nem a alma
Nem as ondas, nem as praias, nem o mar
Nem o mar

DEIXA ESTAR
(Marina Lima/Antonio Cicero)

Deixe estar, vai passar


Com sorte, tudo, tudo vai ser breve
Essa ang�stia no seu peito
E no meio
Essa falta ardendo em minha pele

Porque n�s dois nos cruzamos com pressa demais


E foi tudo intenso e veloz
Nos amamos, meu bem, s� que em pistas opostas
E t�o s�s

Mas deixe estar, vai sarar


Com sorte, quase, quase sem deixar saudades
O repente de um mergulho
Bem no meio
Da represa da felicidade
Mas se voc� resistir, e teimar e fugir
N�o se assuste se tudo engui�ar
A engrenagem do amor pode ser trai�oeira
E vingar

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pequeno concerto que virou can��o


Composi��o: Geraldo Vandr�

N�o...
N�o h� por que mentir ou esconder
A dor que foi maior do que � capaz meu cora��o
N�o...
Nem h� por que seguir
Cantando s� para explicar
N�o vai nunca entender de amor
Quem nunca soube amar.
Ah...
Eu vou voltar pra mim
Seguir sozinho assim
At� me consumir
Ou consumir
Toda essa dor
At� sentir de novo
O cora��o
Capaz de amor.

Vivere
Artisti vari
Bixio

Oggi che magnifica giornata


Che giornata di felicit�
La mia bella donna se n'� andata
M'ha lasciato al fine in libert�
Son padrone ancor della mia vita
E goder la voglio sempre pi�
Ella m'ha giurato nel partir
Che non sarebbe ritornata mai pi�

Vivere senza malinconia


Vivere senza pi� gelosia
Senza rimpianti
Senza mai pi� conoscere cos'� l'amore
Cogliere il pi� bel fiore
Goder la vita e far tacere il cuore

Ridere sempre cos� giocondo


Ridere delle follie del mondo
Vivere finch� c'� giovent�
Perch� la vita � bella
La voglio vivere sempre pi�
Spesso la commedia dell'amore
La tua donna recitar ti fa
Tu diventi allora il primo attore
E ripeti quello che vorr�
Sul terzo atto scende gi� la tela
Finalmente torna la realt�
Questa � la commedia dell'amor
Che in una farsa trasformata sar�.

Vivere pur se al cuore


Ritorna un attimo di nostalgia
Io non ho pi� rancore
Ringrazio chi me l'ha portata via.

A Waltz For A Night by Julie Delpy

Let me sing you a waltz


Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night


Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you're gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing


But you were much more to me
Just so you know

I hear rumors about you


About all the bad things you do
But when we were together alone
You didn't seem like a player at all

I don't care what they say


I know what you meant for me that day
I just wanted another try
I just wanted another night
Even if it doesn't seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I've met before

One single night with you little Jesse


Is worth a thousand with anybody

I have no bitterness, my sweet


I'll never forget this one night thing
Even tomorrow, another arms
My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz


Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand

Paulista

(Eduardo Gudin/
Jos� Carlos Costa Netto)

Na Paulista os far�is
j� v�o abrir
E um milh�o de estrelas
prontas pra invadir
Os jardins
Onde a gente aqueceu
Numa paix�o
Manh�s frias de abril

Se a avenida exilou seus casar�es


Quem reconstruiria nossas ilus�es
Me lembrei
De contar pra voc� nessa can��o
Que o amor conseguiu

Voc� sabe quantas noites


eu te procurei
Nessas ruas onde andei
Conta onde passeia hoje
esse seu olhar
Quantas fronteiras ele j� cruzou
No mundo inteiro de uma
s� cidade

Se os seus sonhos emigraram


sem deixar
Nem pedra sobre pedra
Pra poder lembrar
Dou raz�o
� dif�cil hospedar no cora��o
Sentimentos assim

Cabelos Negros
(Eduardo Dusek).

Eu quero seus cabelos negros nas minhas m�os,


Eu quero seus olhinhos ciganos nos meus sonhos.
Eu quero voc�
Minha vida inteira,
Como doce mania,
Fosse qualquer maneira.
Eu queria voc� assim como �,
Sem mentir nem dizer o que n�o quiser.
Eu quero voc�, crian�a, ca�da no ch�o,
Eu quero voc�, brilhando, brincando de mim.
Pois eu quis voc�
Como o sol e as estrelas,
Noites de lua, nostalgia.
Eu vou ter voc�, mesmo s� pra pensar
Nessas coisas de amar, na alegria.
Eu come�o a descobrir que em meu cora��o
T� nascendo um jardim, pensando em plantar
Voc� dentro de mim.
Pois preciso lhe ver v�rias vezes
Florescendo nas luas crescentes, sentir seu perfume
Pra encontrar voc�

JERUSALEM
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine


Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:


Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,


Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ready to take a chance again

You remind me I live in a shell


Safe from the past and doin' okay but not very well
No jolts, no surprises, no crisis arises
My life goes along as it should
It's all very nice, not very good

CHORUS
And I'm ready to take a chance again
Ready to put my love on the line with you
Been livin' with nothing for show for it
You get what you get when you go for it
And I'm ready to take a chance again with you

When she left me, in all my despair


I just held on, my hopes were all gone
Then I found you there

CHORUS

CHORUS

And I'm ready to take a chance again


Ready to take a chance again with you
With you

Into the West

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore

Why do you weep?


What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see


On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn


To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

Chorus

And all will turn


To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:

Then sigh not so, but let them go,


And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Song no more ditties, sing no moe,


Of dunos so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy:

Then sigh not so, but let them go,


And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

'Pardon, Goddess of the night,


Those that slew thy virgin knight;
For the which, with songs of woe,
Round about her tomb they go. 15
Midnight, assist our moan;
Help us to sigh and groan,
Heavily, heavily:
Graves, yawn, and yield your dead,
Till death be uttered, 20
Heavenly, heavenly.'

is it ok if i call u mine?

just for a time


and i will be just fine
if i know that you know
that i'm wanting, needing your love, oh
if i ask of you, is it alright?
if i ask you to hold me tight
through a cold dark night,
and i need to let you know
that im needing you love,oh
and what im trying to say isn't really new...
it's just the things that happen to me
when im reminded of you
like when i hear your name
or see a place that you've been
or see a picture of your grin
or pass a house that you've been in
one time or another
it sets of something in me
i cant explain
oh, i cant wait to see you again
oh babe i love your love, oh

these is Love.

Days of Wine and Roses

The days of wine and roses,


Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn�t there before.

The lonely night discloses,


Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!

The lonely night discloses,


Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!

Big Man On Mulberry Street

Why can't I lay low


Why can't I say what I mean
Why don't I stay home
And get myself into some boring routine

Why can't I calm down


Why is it always a fight
I can't get unwound
Why do I throw myself into the night

I'm on the outside


I don't fit into the groove
Now I ain't a bad guy
So tell me what am I trying to prove

Why can't I cool out


Why don't I button my lip
Why do I lash out
Why is it I always shoot from the hip

I cruise from Houston to canal street


A misfit and a rebel
I see the winds talking to themselves
And I can understand
Why is it everytime I go out
I always seem to get in trouble
I guess I made an impression on somebody
North of hester and south of grand

And so in my small way


I'm a big man on Mulberry street
I don't mean all day
Only at night when I'm light on my feet

What else have I got


That I'd be trying to hide
Maybe a blind spot
I haven't seen from the sensitive side

But you know in my own heart


I'm a big man on Mulberry street
I play the whole part
I leave a big tip with every receipt

I'm so romantic
I'm such a passionate man
Sometimes I panic
What if nobody finds out who I am

The Hanging Tree

From the Movie "The Hanging Tree"

I came to town to search for gold


And I brought with me a memory
And I seem to hear the nightly cry
Go hanging your dreams on the hanging tree
Your dreams of love that could never be
Hang your faith of dreams on the hanging tree

I search for gold and I found my gold


And I found the girl who love just me
And I wish that I could love her too
But I left my heart on the hanging tree
I left my heart with the memory
And the faith of dream on the hanging tree

Now there'll men who grave my gold


And men to take my gold for me
When a man is gone, he needs no gold
So they carried me to the hanging tree
To join my dreams and memory
Yes they carried me to the hanging tree

To really live you must almost die


And it happens just that way with me
They took the gold and set me free
And I walked away from the hanging tree
I walked away from the hanging tree
And my own true love
She walked with me
That's when I knew that the hanging tree
Was a tree of life - new life for me
A tree of hope - new hope for me
A tree of love - new love for me
The hanging tree, the haning tree
The hanging tree

Gunfight At OK Corral

OK Corral,
OK Corral...
There the outlaw band
Made their final stand.
OK Corral...

Oh, my dearest one, must I


Lay down my gun?
Or take the chance
Of losing you forever?

Duty calls -
My back's against the wall.
Have you no kind word to say
Before I ride away?
Away...

Your love,
Your love,
I need ,
Your love...
Keep the flame, let it burn
Untill I return
From the gunfight at OK Corral.

If the Lord is my friend


We'll meet at the end
Of the gunfight at OK Corral.
Gunfight at OK Corral.

Boot Hill,
Boot Hill...
So cold,
So still...
There they laid side by side
The killers they died
In the gunfight at OK Corral.

OK Corral...
Gunfight at OK Corral!

IT'S THAT TIME

Baby - I don't hate you.


I've learned too much for that.
I don't even blame you.
I'm just handing you your hat.
There isn't any 'other'.
I don't have the heart,
to take another lover.
I couldn't play the part.

Chorus
So - play a tune on your guitar.
Keep on following your star.
It's time to sort through what we know,
remember where we had to go,
find our light and let it shine.
Both of us are feeling low.
So - Baby, it's just time to go.
We gotta move on down the line.
It's that time. It's that time.
Baby, it's that time.
I need to take myself somewhere,
walk on down the Road,
till I can breathe some good, fresh air,
and find my way back Home.
So - Baby, pack the memories,
the good ones you can find.
I'll take what means most to me,
and some I'll leave behind.

Chorus
So - play a tune on your guitar.
Keep on following your star.
It's time to sort through what we know,
remember where we had to go,
find our light and let it shine.
Both of us are feeling low.
So - Baby, it's just time to go.
We gotta move on down the line.
It's that time. It's that time.
Baby, it's that time.

Badly Drawn Boy


Title: A minor incident

There's nothing i could say to make you try and feel ok


And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do
And if the chance should happen that I never see you again
Just remember that I'll always love you

I'd be a better person on the other side i'm sure


You'd find a way to help yourself
Then find another doors
To shrug off minor incidents
Make us both feel proud
I'd just wish I be there to see u through

You always were the one to make us stand out in the crowd
Though every once apon a while your head was in a cloud
There's nothing u could never do to ever let me down
And remember that i'll always love you

Luck Be a Lady

Writer(s): Loesser

They call you lady luck


But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out

Your on this date with me


The pickin's have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush

You might forget your manners


You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Luck be a lady tonight


Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight

Luck let a gentleman see


Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me

A lady never leaves her escort


It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite


Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

A lady never flirts with strangers


She'd have a heart, she'd be nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice

Lets keep this party polite


Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

Be My Love
- words by Sammy Cahn, music by Nicholas Brodszky

Be my love
For no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms
The way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire
With every sweet desire

Be my love
And with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand
We'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you for me
Eternally
If you will be my love

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Without a Song

Writer(s): Youmans/Rose/dEliscu

Without a song, the day would never end


Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song

That field of corn, would never see a plow


That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born, but he's no good no how
Without a song

I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know


The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strung in my soul

I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall


I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Without a song

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

I Wish You Love

Goodbye, no use leading with our chins


This is where our story ends
Never lovers, ever friends
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day
But before you walk away
I sincerely want to say

I wish you bluebirds in the spring to give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss but more than this
I wish you love

And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade


I wish you health and more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be


So with my best, my very best, I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm


A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
(musical interlude)
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, hot time, I wish you love.
All kinds of love, a whole gang of love.

The Future - Leonard Cohen

Give me back my broken night


my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!

Give me crack and anal sex


Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions


Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant.

You don't know me from the wind


you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide ...

There'll be the breaking of the ancient


western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'.

Give me back the Berlin wall


Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide ...

When they said REPENT REPENT ...

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay,


The glory that was Rome is just another day,
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan,
I'm going home to my city by the bay.
Chorus: I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care.
My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea,
When I come home to you, San Francisco, your golden sun will shine for me.

FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE


D.Meyer/Bretton/S.Edwards

For heaven's sake let�s fall in love


It�s no mistake to call it love
An angel�s holding hands with me
How heavenly heaven can be

Here is romance for us to try


Here is a chance we can�t deny
While heaven�s giving us a break
Let�s fall in love for heaven�s sake
Don�t say a word my darling
Don�t break the spell like this
Just hold me tight; we�re alone in the night
And heaven is here with a kiss

This pair of eyes can see a star


So paradise can�t be so far
Since heaven�s what we�re dreaming of
For heaven�s sake, let�s fall in love

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS

You don't know what love is


Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt


Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels


The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn


For love that can not live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

You don't know how hearts burn


For love that can not live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is.....what love is....

"I'm a Fool to Want You"

I'm a fool to want you


I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you


Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you


Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you


...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

Without you

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

You've Changed

You've changed
The sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed
Your kisses now are so blas�
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed

You've forgotten the words I love you


And the memories that we've shared
You've ignored all the stars up above you
I can't realize that you ever cared
You've changed

You're not the angel I once knew


No need to tell me, I know we're through
It's all over now
You've changed

You've forgotten the words I love you


And the memories that we've shared
You ignore all the stars up above you
I can't realize that you ever cared
You've changed

You're not the angel I once knew


No need to tell me, I know we're through
It's all over now
You've changed

THE END OF A LOVE AFFAIR

So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fast


And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do at the
end of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud, when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare

Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonely
and low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!

So I smoke a little too much, and I drink a little too much


And the tunes I request are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare!

So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking


your place
But what else can you do, at the end of a love affair

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

All the Way

When somebody loves you


It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is


That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real

When somebody needs you


It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may

Who know where the road will lead us


Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

Don't worry 'bout me


I'll get along
Just you forget about me
Be happy my love

Just say that our little show is over


And so the story ends
Why not call it a day, the sensible way
And we'll remain friends

Look out for yourself


Should be the rule
Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love
Don't you be a fool
Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing
That used to be
So if you can't forget
Don't you worry 'bout me

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------

Young at Heart

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you


If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes


You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way

Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on Earth


To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to 105


Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

And if you should survive to 105


Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning

Writer(s): Mann/Hilliard

In the wee small hours of the morning


While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson


You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye

Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little


Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it


I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it


I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April in Paris

Writer(s): Harburg/Duke

I never knew the charm of spring


I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom


Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring


I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris


Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart

Winter Light

written by Eric Kaz, Linda Ronstadt, Zbigniew Antoni Preisner


copyright 1993 Normal Music, BMI

Hearts call
Hearts fall
Swallowed in the rain
Who knows
Life grows
Hollow and so vain

Wandering in the winter light


The wicked and the sane
Bear witness to salvation
And life starts over again

Now the clear sky is all around you


Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night

Star glowing in the twilight


Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too

Ah ah ah

Now the clear sky is all around you


Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night

Star glowing in the twilight


Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too
from the motion picture "The Secret Garden"

My Funny Valentine

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek


Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me


Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek


Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me


Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Little Girl Blue

When you were very young, the world was younger than you,
As merry as a carousel,
The circus tent was strung with ever star in the sky,
Above the ring you loved so well.
Now the young world has grown old, gone are the silver and gold,
Chorus : Sit there and count your fingers, what can you do,
Old girl, you're through.
Just sit there and count your little fingers, unhappy little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you,
It's time you knew,
All you can count on are the raindrops that fall on little girl blue.
No use, old girl, you might as well surrender,
Your hopes are getting slender, why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy to cheer up little girl blue.

Nearness of You, The

Its not the pale moon that excites me


That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you

It isnt your sweet conversation


That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you

When youre in my arms and I feel you so close to me


All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me


If youll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

bewitched, bothered and bewildered
(L. Heart / R Rogers)

After one whole quart of brandy


Like a daisy I'll awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink

I'm wild again


beguiled again
a simpering whimpering child again
bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I
couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep
when love came and told me
I shouldn't sleep
Bewiched bothered and bewildered
Am I

lost my heart, but what of it?


he is cold, I agree
he can laugh, but I love it
Because the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long for the day
when I'll cling to him,
Bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I.

He's a fool and don't I know it


But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
like a babe in arms
I've sinned a lot
I'm mean a lot
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I
I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And worship the trousers
that cling to him
Bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I

When he talks
He is seeking
words to get
On his chest
Horizontally speaking
he's at his very best
vexed again
oh yes, perplexed again
thank God, I can be oversexed again
bewitched bothered and bewildered
Am I

How High the Moon

Somewhere there's music


How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music


How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music


How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

The Killing Moon


Under blue Moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you


So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing Moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue Moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

(2x)
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him (2x)

(2x)
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Red Right Hand


Nick Cave

Take a little walk to a country town, and go across the track


Where the fire duct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the board of fines and the humming wire
Hey man, you know you're never coming back
Aross the square, cross the bridge, cross the mill, past the stack

On the gathering storm comes a tall handsome man


With a dusty black coat and a red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing that you can do
He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru

They're-a whispering his name through this dissapearing land


But hidden in his coat is a red right hand

You don't have no money, he'll get you some


You don't have no car, he'll get you one
You don't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect
Well, don't you worry buddy, 'cause here he comes
Through the ghetto and the barrio and the valley and the slum

His shadow is cast whereever he stands


Got some green paper in his red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere, but he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen.. hey, buddy, i'm warning you
to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand

Marble Halls
I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
with vassals and serfs at my side,
and of all who assembled within those walls
that I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
and a high ancestral name.
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
that you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.
I dreamt that suitors sought my hand,
that knights upon bended knee
and with vows no maidens heart could withstand,
they pledged their faith to me.
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
came forth my hand to claim.
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
that you loved me still the same
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same
