Amor, Amor, Amor,
This word so sweet
That I repeat
Means I adore you.
Amor, Amor, My love,
Would you deny
This heart that I
Have placed before you?
I can't find another word with meaning so clear;
My lips try to whisper sweeter things in your ear.
But somehow or other nothing sounds quite so dear
As this soft caressing word I know.

Amor, Amor, My love,
When you're away,
There is no day
And nights are lonely.
Amor, Amor,
My love, Make life divine,
Say you'll be mine
And love me only.

Amor,

Amor,
Naci de t,
Naci de m,
De la esperanza.
Amor,
Amor,
Amor,
Naci de Dios,
Para los dos,
Naci del alma.
Sentir que tus besos anidaron en m,
Igual que palomas mensajeras de luz.
Saber que mis besos se quedaron en t,
Haciendo en tus labios la seal de la cruz.
Amor,
Amor,
Amor,
Naci de t,
Naci de m,
De la esperanza.

Amor,
Naci de Dios,
Para los dos,
Naci del alma.

Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

There is a rose
in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up
in Spanish Harlem

It is a special one,
it's never seen the sun
It only comes out
when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming

It's growing in the street
right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'

There is a rose
in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up
in Spanish Harlem

With eyes as black as coal
that look down in my soul
And starts a fire there
and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon

I'm going to pick that rose
and watch her
as she grows in my garden

I'm going to pick that rose
and watch her
as she grows in my garden
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)

When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
*Solo*

And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me
So darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me

I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you
But, oh I love you
He, he buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear, when I say
That he can give you the world
But he'll never love
The way I love you

He can take you any place he wants
to fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you
with my nose pressed up
against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else When it's I, who loves you
I love you, I love you, I love you

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
no no no no no no no

Don't play that song for me
It brings back memories
The days that I once knew
the days that I spent with you

oh no! don't let it play
it fills my heart with pain!
please stop it right away!
I remember jus what it said
it said "darling I love you" (You Know that you lied!)
"darlin i love you" (you know that you lied!)
"darlin i love you" (you know that you lied-you lied you lied lied lied)
remember on our first date?
you kissed me and you walked away...
you were only 17
I never thought you'd act so mean
but baby you told me you loved me
you told me you cared!
you said "ill go with you darlin-almost anywhere"
but baby you know that
"darling I love you" (You Know that you lied!)
"darlin I love you" (you know that you lied!)
"darlin I love you" (you know that you lied-you lied you lied lied lied)

Don't play it no more
Don't play it no more
Stop it baby! no no no no no no no
Don't play it no more! Baby Please! don't play it baby!
Don't play it no more! no no no no no no Stop it baby!
You know that you lied!

You know that you lied! Stop it baby!

I want to know, know, know, know, know
(How can I forget)
I've got to know, know, know, know, know
(How can I forget)
How could I forget
(Forget her)

When I was lonely, she chased away
The little girl chased away all of my blues
When I was down and out
She went somewhere and bought me
She brought me a brand new pair of shoes

So tell me, tell me, tell me
(How can I forget)
How, how, how, how
(How can I forget)
How could I forget
(Forget her)

Yesterday she left for somebody new
My friends all say forget her
Go out and do the same they do

But how when her kisses still lingers on my lips
And my cheeks, ask for her finger tips
Since she's been gone, I can't sleep at night
And since she's been gone, I can't eat or bite

Oh, so tell me, tell me, tell me
(How can I forget)
How, how, how, how, how
(How can I forget)

How can I forget
(How can I forget)
I wanna know how can I forget
(How can I forget)

And I've got to know, I've for got know
How can I forget
(How can I forget)
I've got to know somebody help me forget my baby, baby, baby
(How can I forget)

How can I forget, forget, forget
(How can I forget)

Na, na, na, na, na, na late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na late at night

I have counted everyday since you've been away
It seemed like a thousand years
And at na, na, na, na, na, na,late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

I have counted all your lies all your alibis
I'm a guy believes just what he hears
And at na, na, na, na, na, na,late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na,late at night
I'll sit and count the tears

She's gone and found somebody new
He may be happy now but soon
He'll be counting everyday that she's been away
It'll seem like a thousand years

And at na, na, na, na, na, na,late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na,late at night
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit and count his tears
He'll sit, and count his tears

I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one

against the window pane

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else When it's I, who loves you
I love you, I love you, I love you

You can dance
Every dance with the girl who gives you the eye
Let her hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the girl who'd like to treat you right
'Neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin' save the last dance for me

Oh I know
That the music's fine like sparklin' wine
Go and have your fun
Dance and sing
But while we're apart don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me

You can dance
Go and carry on till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If she asks
If you're all alone, can she take you home
You must tell her no

And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in who's arms you're gonna be
Oh, darlin', save the last dance for me

This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you

And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I wanna have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever till the end of time

On the horizon out where the ocean greets the sky
On the horizon I saw a ship go sailing by
This was the ship that I'd often dreamed of
A ship made of gold with a golden sail above
This was the ship that I dreamed would someday bring my love

On the horizon out where the lonely seagulls cry
On the horizon my ship of dreams came sailing by
Sailing to me with this cargo so rare
It kept comin' closer and closer I swear
Closer and closer 'til I woke up and found you there

Oh, on the horizon, the horizon, the horizon

When the night has come, and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we will see
No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darlin', darlin' stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

Drivin' around, I just can't hear a sound
'Cept my own wheels turnin'
Wastin' a day, I'm just runnin' away
From a heart that's burnin' but I can't run forever

Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right
Yes, we're gonna make love, it's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine, huggin' and teasin'
And lovin' and squeezin' all night

I've made up my mind this is gonna be mine
I'm so glad I waited
Why did I try to figure out why
Everything can't be anticipated, I can't wait to tell him

Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right
Yes, we're gonna make love, it's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine, huggin' and teasin'

Down home... Oh, down home
there used to be rivers and trees
fresh bread every single morning
and sweet magnolia in the breeze
Oh, fishing lines and young dreams

Oh, I hear them calling to me
but there's no way to get down home
cuz down home's just a memory

Wish I could leave this big town
city living ain't living to me
but there's no way to get down home

No you can't retrieve it
cuz once you leave it

Oh, down home's just a memory
Down home... Oh, down home

River Of Tears
Ben. E. King

It seems that I just can?t win?
I?ve been hurt time and time again?

Every time I give my heart somebody tears it all apart
Through the years, lord knows I must have shed a river of tears?
I tried to be fair in every way
I?d even ignored, yes, I have, things that people say
Oh, still I?m lonely and all alone
I?ve got no one I can call my own
Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears

A river of tears, oh, how I yearned, yeah ?

Tears that flow?

Somebody tell me what I?m doing wrong
Isn?t there anyone I can depend on?
Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears
A river of tears, oh, how I?ve yearned, yes, I have
Tears that flow? oh, how I?ve yearned
Talking ?bout? talkin? ?bout a river
Talkin? ?bout a river
