"Without You (Tres Palabras)"

"Without You (Tres Palabras)"



Oye la confesión
De mis secretos.
Nace de un corazón
Que esta desierto.

Con tres palabras
Te diré todas mis cosas
Cosas del corazón
Que son preciosas.

Dame tus manos, ven,
Toma las mías
Que te voy a confiar
Las ansias mías.
Son tres palabras
Solamente mis angustias,
Y esas palabras son:
Como me gustas!

Dame tus manos, ven,
Toma las mías
Que te voy a confiar
Las ansias mías.
Son tres palabras
Solamente mis angustias,
Y esas palabras son:
Como me gustas!

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"



Sometimes we walk, hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me, with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand, on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you, and you melt in my arms
There we are, Darling, only you and I
What a moment to share, it's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is full of wondrous things, it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet evening, I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I hold
And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"

And I say to myself "It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love"

"Year After Year"

"Year After Year"



I try and find a key so I can sing or say
A little of my peace in a subtle way
This guitar I can barely play
Yet I still strum along
And I yearn to hear your thoughts
Maybe a little praise
At first that's what I got
But it never seems to stay
And for a time I kept it caged just to let it go

I thought I'd come such a long way
I thought I'd broken some brand new ground
But still I live with the same fate
Again and again, year after year
And I'd be pleased with just your company
Stuck to the walls in here just hanging around
Until we feel there's nothing more to see
We'll get the hell out of here

I knew that all the while you tried to stay the same
Same hair, same scent, same smile
And when it came time, you loved the change
And you embraced it so
For now we'll drive this lathe and with an honest try
We'll go against the grain
And I think we'll find it's best that you and I have changed
And we'll just let it show
Oh god we'll let 'em know

"Yellow Roses On Her Gown"

"Yellow Roses On Her Gown"



I was born in San Fransisco when the bay was full of cruisers
Where the west wind smells of fishing boats for fifty miles around
My father wore a crew cut, he was lean and he was handsome
And my mother wore a sash of yellow roses on her gown

They would walk me down from Green Street
Pass cathedrals on the hill sides
And the carillons could fill the hearts of any one in town
I remember how they looked then, when their eyes were always living
When my father loved a girl with yellow roses on her gown

Then we moved to Placer County where the weather was a joker
And I watched my parents laughter turn from amber into ice
But my father never stumbled, he would tell me things would change soon
He would bear and bear the insults of a pair of loaded dice

And my mother stood beside him though her heart was on the hill side
Of a city where a soldier and his lover bedded down
And at night amid the whisper of the pines in Manzanita
She would cry into the sash of yellow roses on her gown

Now my father's living eastward by the Sacramento river
And he swears to me he's happy with his practice and some land
In the springtime and the summer when the fog is off the valley
I visit him on weekends, his grass is overgrown

Sometimes after dinner, I will gaze away the evening
In the attic at a sash of yellow roses on a gown

"Yesterday"

"Yesterday"



Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

"You And Me Against The World"

"You And Me Against The World"



You and me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world;
When all the others turn their back and walk away,
You can count on me to stay!

Remember when the circus came to town,
And I was frightened by the clown;
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew,
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for you;

And me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world;
And for all the times we've cried,
I've always felt the odds were on our side!

And when one of us is gone,
And one is left alone to carry on,
Well then, remembering will have to do,
Our memories alone will get us through;
Think about the days of me and you,
You and me against the world!

Life can be a circus,
They under-pay and overwork us!
And though we seldom get our due,
When each day is through
I bring my tired body home and look around for you;

And me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world;
And for all the times we've cried,
I've always felt that God was on our side!

And when one of us is gone,
And one is left alone to carry on,
Well then, remembering will have to do,
Our memories alone will get us through;
Think about the days of me and you,
Of you and me against the world!

"You Are Beautiful"

"You Are Beautiful"



You are beautiful
Soft and shy
You are the girl whose eyes met mind
Just as your boat sailed by

This I know of you
Nothing more
You are the girl whose eyes met mine
Passing the river shore

You are the girl whose laugh I heard
Silver and soft and bright
Soft as the fall of lotus leaves
Brushing the air of night

While your flower boat
Sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
You are the girl I will love someday

While your flower boat
Sailed away
Gently your eyes looked back on mine
Clearly you heard me say
You are the girl I will love someday

"You Are Everything To Me"

"You Are Everything To Me"



Everywhere you go, that's where I simply have to be
For you are everything to me
Everything you touch at once is sacred, divine
Can I hold you? Be mine

Kiss me and I'm strong enough to turn the strongest tide
Just sigh and I go wild inside
I'll be everything you ever want me to be
For, my darling, you are everything to me

I'll be everything you ever want me to be
Oh, darling, you are everything to-oo me

"You Are The Sunshine Of My Life"

"You Are The Sunshine Of My Life"



You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning

Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

Love has joined us
Love has joined us
Let's think sweet love

"You Belong To Me"

"You Belong To Me"



See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darlin', all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember til you're home again
You belong to me
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember til you're home again
You belong to me
