"Teardrops Will Fall"

"Teardrops Will Fall"


I read your letter
Tears filled my eyes
All of your promises failing
Nothing but lies
So I turned your photograph over face to the wall
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that I tried to keep deep down inside
Tears from the love that's gone beyond recall
And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

I'm going to pray tonight baby
Hoping you will hear
Maybe you'll right the wrong and dry each tear
I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

Teardrops will fall tonight
Tears I can't hide
Tears that tried to keep deep down inside
Tears from the love that's gone beyond recall
And when I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall
When I dim the light in my room tonight
Teardrops will fall

"Tell Him"

"Tell Him"


I know something about love
You gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
The very part of you
Makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

I know something about love
You gotta show him
And make him see the moon up above
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
Always by your side
If you want him to
Only think of you

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

Ever since the world began
It's been that way for men
And women were created
To make love their destiny
They why should true love be
So complicated oh

I know something about love
You've gotta take him
And show him what the world is made of
One kiss could prove it

If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

"Tell Him I Said Hello"

"Tell Him I Said Hello"


When you see him
Tell him things are slow
There's a reason and he's sure to know
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I said hello

If he asks you when I come and go
Say I stay home 'cause I miss him so
But on second thought, forget it
Just tell him I said hello

Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark to start another flame
Do I love him?
Don't say yes or no
If he should ask you
But he won't I know
Cause it's all over and forgotten
Just tell him I said hello

Look into his eyes
When you speak my name
Maybe there's a spark to start another flame
Do I love him?
Don't say yes or no
If he should ask you
But he won't I know
Cause it's all over and forgotten
Just tell him I said hello

"That'll Be The Day"

"That'll Be The Day"


Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

Well you gave me all your loving
And your turtle doving
All your hugs and kisses
And your money too
You know you love me baby
Still you tell me baby
That someday when I'll be true

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

When Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part then I'll be blue
You kiss and hold me
And you tell me boldy
Well that someday that I'll be true

Well that'll be the day
When you say goodbye
That'll be the day
When you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave me
You know it's a lie
Cause that'll be the day that I die

Ah that'll be the day wooh-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day woo-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day woo-ooh-ooh
That'll be the day when I die

"The Blue Train"

"The Blue Train"


Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is
Nothing but a cold hard fact

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
And I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

I'm riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train

"The Boat From Guaymas"

"The Boat From Guaymas"


At the stroke of the oar the waves
are agitated
Light is the boat
At the noise of the water my sorrow
gets deeper
And my soul is sobbing.

Because of so many troubles
My anguished love cries out to you
You are very far away
And my soul finds itself alone,
all alone.

Tired traveler who returns to the port
From faraway lands
What strange pilot sailed your boat
Without a sail, without an anchor
From where do you come, that you have
torn to pieces
Your sails so white.
You left singing
And today you return, bringing death
in your soul.

I am the sailor who happily from Guaymas
Left one morning
Carrying in my boat, like a guiding bird,
My sweet hope
Through unknown seas
The storm overwhelmed my sacred
yearnings
That's why my efforts are broken
And I bring death in the soul.

You left singing
And today you return
Bringing death in your soul.

"The Charreada"

"The Charreada"


How very pretty is this fiesta
The charro fiesta, fiesta in the sun

Where the valiant charros
Evoke such feeling with their songs

The festive grand entry
Smacks of tradition and the furrows
of the earth

It resembles the action of the bullfight
So admired in my nation

Pretty is the grand entry and how
great its excitement
I want to ride the bull
So that my love can see me.

"The Cicada"

"The Cicada"


Don't sing to me anymore, cicada
Let your singsong end
For your song, here in the soul
Stabs me like a dagger
Knowing that when you sing
You are proclaiming that you are
going to your death

Sailor, sailor
Tell me if it is true that you know
Because I cannot distinguish
If in the depth of the seas
There is another color blacker
Than the color of my sorrows.

A little dove upon flying
Bearing a wounded breast
Was about to cry
And told me very afflicted
I'm tired of searching for
A mutual love.

Under the shade of a tree
And to the beat of my guitar
I sing this "huapango" happily
Because my life is ending
And I want to die singing
Like the cicada dies.

"The Dolphins"

"The Dolphins"


This old world may never change
Not the way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again

I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me

I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know that peace will come
When all hate is gone

I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me

Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the times
When we were running wild

I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me

This old world may never change
This old world may never change

"The Fast One"

"The Fast One"


You don't know how I feel
You don't seem to care
If I let you see it through my eyes
You wouldn't see anyone there

It's no wonder I been crying
It's no wonder that I'm blue
My crazy heart was gone and let somebody know
When it's time for me to go
Tired of being lonley
Tired of what you do to me
Hear it raining in my heart
Well I've been lonely before
But I've been so long without sunlight
I can't take another day more

No wonder I been crying
It's no wonder I been blue
My crazy heart can't tell me why
I can't tell you goodbye
Oh no, I'm tired of all this tragedy
I'm giving you back your misery

You better put on a fast one
I think I'm gonna pull through
You better play another fast one
No matter what you do
Put your money in a fast one
I don't wanna hear the blues
Put on another fast one
Trying to forget about you

Well it ain't no wonder I been crying
It's no wonder I been blue
My crazy heart can't tell me why
I can't tell you goodbye
Darling I'm tired of being lonely
Tired of what you put me through

Now you better put on a fast one
If you want me to pull through
You better play another fast one
No matter what you do
Put your money in a fast one
I don't wanna hear the blues
Put on another fast one
Trying to forget about you
