Autumn Leaves~Paolo Nutini

Autumn leaves under frozen souls
Hungry hands turning soft and old
My hero crying as we stood out there in the cold
Like these autumn leaves I don't have nothing to hold
Handsome smiles wearing handsome shoes
Too young to say, though I swear he knew
And I hear him singing while he sits there in his chair
While these autumn leaves float around everywhere
And I look at you, and I see me
Making noise so restlessly
But now it's quiet and I can hear you sing
'My little fish don't cry, my little fish don't cry'
Autumn leaves are fading now
That smile I lost, well I've found somehow
Because you still live on in my father's eyes
These autumn leaves, all these autumn leaves
All these autumn leaves are yours tonight
Songwriters:
NUTINI, PAOLO GIOVANNI/DUGUID, JIM

Diamonds and Rust ~ Joan Baez


DIAMONDS AND RUST

(Words and Music by Joan Baez)

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Because I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

Baby It's You ~ Smokie

Baby It's You ~ Smokie
I was lost and at an end

It seemed so long
I really needed a friend
Why should I pretend?

I couldn't think I had to see
That Southern Comfort comforts me
I could be free
But where would I be?

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

Try my best to get along
Make some friends, but something always went wrong
I come on too strong
Things were really getting rough
Getting tired of acting like I was tough
I just had enough

Then you came along
And you sang your song
And you made my day
In your special way

Then I knew
That baby it's you
Baby it's you
You know that it's you I'm thinking of
Baby it's you

(Chorus x 2)

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face ~ Roberta Flack

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
your face, your face

Summer Wind ~ Frank Sinatra

Summer Wind ~ Frank Sinatra
The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind and the winter winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

The summer wind
Warm summer wind
Mmm, the summer wind

Only Love ~ Trademark


"Only Love"

2 a.m. and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me

But only love can say - try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, if we learn to trust

[Chorus]

I See The Moon ~ Jim Brickman


I See The Moon ~ Jim Brickman
I see the moon, the moon sees me

The moon sees somebody I want to see
So, God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the 'Somebody' I want to see

I see the moon, the moon sees me
The moon sees somebody I want to see
So, God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the 'Somebody' I want to see

So, God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the 'Somebody' I want to see
God bless the moon, God bless me
And God bless the 'Somebody' I want to see

My Father's Eyes ~ Eric Clapton


My Father's Eyes ~ Eric Clapton
Sailing down behind the sun,
Waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again.

Just a toerag on the run.
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?


When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
When I look in my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.


Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies.
And as I watch this seedling grow,
Feel my heart start to overflow.


Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized


That's when I need them,
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
That's when I need my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.


Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that was washed away;
My foundations were made of clay.


As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.


My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.


My father's eyes.
My father's eyes.
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Return to Innocence~Enigma


Enigma ~~ Return to Innocence
That's not the beginning of the end

That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence


Love, devotion
Feeling, emotion
Love, devotion
Feeling, emotion


Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence


If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence


That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence


Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way
Don't give up, don't give up
To return, to return to innocence


If you want, then laugh
If you must, then cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny

The Spanish Night Is Over ~ Engelbert Humperdinck


Engelbert Humperdinck - The Spanish Night Is Over
Once upon a lonely night, Barcelona Spain.

She was just a simple girl, Maria was her name.
Through the night we fell in love, that morning brings goodbye.
Now we spend the rest of my life wondering why.


The Spanish night is over, and here I am again.
Holdin’ just a heartfull of memory’s, that never ends.
The Spanish night is over, but still I’m dreamin’ off.
How it was together, the night we fell in love.


Every night I close my eyes, and hold her in my sleep.
So it was so long ago, the memory’s I will keep,
Some of us we went to win, other’s ment to loose.
But I never dream that we still loosin’ you.


The Spanish night is over, and here I am again.
Holdin’ just a heartfull of memory’s, that never ends.
The Spanish night is over, but still I’m dreamin’ off.
How it was together, the night we fell in love.

Instrumental……..
The Spanish night is over, but still I’m dreamin’ off.
How it was together, the night we fell in love.
How it was together, the-night -we -fell -in love

It's Impossible ~ Perry Como



It's impossible . . .

Tell the sun to leave the sky,
It’s just impossible . . .


It’s impossible . . .
Ask a baby not to cry,
It’s just impossible . . .


Can I hold you closer to me.
And not feel you goin’ through me,
Split the second,
That I never think of you,
Oh! how impossible . . .


Can the ocean keep from rushin’ to the shore?
It’s just impossible!
If I had you, could I ever want for more?
It’s just impossible!


And tomorrow , should you ask me for the world,
Somehow I'd get it . . .
I would sell my very soul,
And not regret it . . .
For to live without your love,
It’s just impossible!


< repeat last two verses >
Impossible! ( hmm )
Impossible!

留不住你的心 ~ 鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)


留不住你的心 ~ 鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)


作詞:張錦華 作曲:張錦華


你曾經對我一往深情 我也曾經對你一片癡心

You have once been affectionate with me;
I have also been that way with you.


奈何情天掀起了風雨陣陣 使我倆離分
It is a pity that our sweet time has been
interrupted by rainstorms often, separating us.


你卻丟下了我 不管也不問
Then you leave me behind, ignoring me and do not
even ask about me.


縱然遇見了 也變成陌生的人
Even while chancing upon me,
you have become a stranger.


我已付出真情 也愛你這麼深 卻留不住你的心
I have already offered my true affection,
and loved you this deeply. But I cannot keep your heart.


你曾經對我一往深情 我也曾經對你一片癡心
You have once been affectionate with me;
I have also been that way with you.


奈何情天掀起了風雨陣陣 使我倆離分

interrupted by rainstorms often, separating us.


你卻丟下了我 不管也不問
Then you leave me behind,

you have become a stranger.


我已付出真情 也愛你這麼深 卻留不住你的心
I have already offered my true affection,
and loved you this deeply. But I cannot keep your heart.

I'll Find a Way ~ Rachael Yamagata


Rachael Yamagata - I'll Find a Way
I'll find a way to see you again
I'll find a way to see you again


I used to think that anything I'd do
Wouldn't matter at all anyway
But now I find that when it comes to you
I'm the winner of cards I can't play
Wait for me, wait for me
Darling, I need you desperately, desperately here


And I'll find a way to see you again
And I'll find a way to see you again


The rain is like an orchestra to me
Little gifts from above meant to say
Girl, you falling at his feet
Isn't lovely or stunning today
Wait with me, wait with me
I'm alive when you're here with me, here with me, stay


And I'll find a way to see you again
And I'll find a way to see you again


Why do the street lamps die
When you're passing by
Like a hand that won't stay on my shoulder tonight
If you held me close, would you laugh it away
Would you dare the glance that I steal to stay


And I'll find a way to see you again
Yes, I'll find a way to see you again
I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again
I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again
I'll find a way, a way, a way to see you again


The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down
The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down
The rain will bring, the rain will bring, the rain will bring, bring, bring me down

Joy ~ Phish


"Joy"

Joy is over there in her incredible clothes
She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes
I was doing the best that I can, I suppose
But that little girl dancer eventually grows, she grows


You can't imagine all the times that I tried
To uncover the source of the tears that you cried
Let's throw it away and just go for a ride
And you'd say okay but you'd keep it inside
And I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried


We want you to be happy, don't live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy, come step outside your room
We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too


I never thought I could have it so good
You were the song that my soul understood
That time is a river that flows through the woods
And it led us to places we both understood
Would be gone before too long, would be gone before too long

When we were young we thought life was a game
But then somebody leaves you and you're never the same
All of the places and people belong to the puzzle
But one of the pieces is gone and it's you
It's you, it's you, Joy, it's you

We want you to be happy, don't live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy, come step outside your room
We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too


In time we'll weather this storm inside together
You'll see the change when the sun shines through


We want you to be happy, don't live inside the gloom
We want you to be happy, come step outside your room
We want you to be happy 'cause this is your song too


This is your song too, this is your song too
This is your song too, this is your song too
This is your song too

May it be ~ Enya


May It Be ~ Enya
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now

Journey - Open Arms (Live)


Open Arm~Journey
Lying beside you, here in the dark

Feeling your heart beat with mind
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our live be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

So now I come to you, with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.

(chorus)

掌聲響起 Applause ~ 鳳飛飛 Feng Fei Fei


掌聲響起 Applause ~ 鳳飛飛 Feng Fei Fei
孤獨站在這舞台 聽到掌聲響起來
Standing alone on this stage , hearing this thunderous applause 
我的心中有無限感慨
My heart is overflowing with emotion
多少青春不再 多少情懷已更改 
My youth is slipping away, My feeling might no longer be the same
我還擁有你的愛
But still…My LOVE for you remains unshaken


好像初次的舞台 聽到第一聲喝采
Feeling so ecstatic, like the tears that I shed 
我的眼淚忍不住掉下來
On receiving the first applause
經過多少失敗 經過多少等待 
Having failed so many times, having waited so long
告訴自己要忍耐
I told myself to be patient


掌聲響起來 我心更明白 你的愛將與我同在
Hearing the wondrous applause, I made me understood, your love had always been in my heart
掌聲響起來 我心更明白 歌聲交會你我的愛
Hearing the wondrous applause, I made me understood, the songs embody and rekindle our love

イビョル(離別)(이별)- Patti Kim


イビョル(離別)(이별)- Patti Kim
作詩 作曲 吉屋 潤

偶爾也會想起吧
雖是個冷酷的人
那樣愛過的回憶
總是無法來忘懐  

抬頭一望青光月
一人過着孤獨夜
誓言返複浮心頭
更是想要再相見

※山隔分別那麼遠
相離遥遠海彼方
偶爾也會想起吧
雖是個冷酷的人
那樣愛過的回憶
總是無法來忘懐

當你的傳聞訊息
由風傳來那夜裡
湧上又退寂寞中
心情就會動揺吧
如水流逝日月中
一切都會改變吧
雖然二人的情炎
還是繼續燃燒着

※山隔分別那麼遠
相離遥遠海彼方
偶爾也會想起吧
雖是個冷酷的人
那樣愛過的回憶
總是無法來忘懐

Japanese Lyric:
時には思い出すでしょう  冷たい人だけど 
あんなに愛した想い出を   忘れはしなしでしょうそう    
青い月を見上げ  一人過ごす夜は 
誓った言葉を繰り返し 逢いたくなるでしょう    
 
※山越え遠くに 別れても  海の彼方遥か 離れても
時には思い出すでしょう 冷たい人だけど       
あんなに愛した想い出を 忘れはしなしでしょう    

あなたの噂を風が 運んで来る夜は       
寄せては返す淋しさに 心を揺らすでしょう     
流れゆく月日が すべてを変えるでしょう   
たとえ二人の炎が 燃えつづけていても     

※山越え遠くに 別れても 海の彼方遥か 離れても   
時には思い出すでしょう 冷たい人だけど       
あんなに愛した想い出を 忘れはしなしでしょう

Shine ~ Daniel Lanois


SHINE ~ DANIEL LANOIS
I have wandered far and wide
All the way from Paris to Mexico
'Til I was gone and didn't know

In the end the thing that keeps me walking
Is your shine, your shine in the morning, your shine in the distance,
Your shine inside the laughter and the ghosts

They have spoken of the river forever bending inside the fever
Of the saints that walk all night with no domain

In the end the thing that keeps them walking is your shine
Your shine when they wear no coat, your shine when the feelings low
Your shine when it's too late to turn around

I have frozen up my dreams, thinking I was all alone
Fighting every minute for each turning stone
I have reached the rocket speed
I have touched the ground that feeds
Scaling fences, looking for the healing sun

In the end the thing that keeps me walking is your shine
Your shine in transmissions, your shine in decisions,
Your shine when I labor to the new day,
It's your shine, your shine, your shine, shine, shine on
