Perhaps Love

erhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything, and some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Some say love is holding on and some say letting go
Some say love is everything and some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside, thunder when it rains
If I should live forever, and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Blue Suede Shoes

Of my blue suede shoes

Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Number forty-seven said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugsy, for Heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, Nix, nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

(4x)
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Hound Dog

(2x)
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

(2x)
When they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie

You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

(2x)
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

(2x)
When they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie

You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

(2x)
When they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie

You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

(2x)
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

My Way

And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too
few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Can't Help Falling in Love

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things
Are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
For I can't help
Falling in love with you

Always in my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Carry, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

Suspicious Minds

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these tears are real
I'm crying (these crying)

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh, let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah!

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say

And don't you know...

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

Blue Moon

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon, you knew just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone i really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me"
And when i looked, the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon, now i'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Love me tender

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And i love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' i love you,
And i always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that i belong,
And we'll never part.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' i love you,
And i always will.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' i love you,
And i always will.

In the Ghetto

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way

Well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
a young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
As his mama cries

Crying in the Chapel

You saw me crying in the chapel
the tears i shed were tears of joy
i know the meaning of contentment
i am happy with the lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
where all good people go to pray
i prayed the lord that i'll grow stronger
as i live from day to day
I searched and i searched but i couldn't find
no way on earth to find peace of mind
Now i'm happy in the chapel
where people are of one accord
yes, we gather in the chapel
just to sing and praise the lord
You'll search and you'll search but you'll never find
no way on earth to find peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
get down on your knees and pray
then your burdens will be lighter
and you'll surely find a way

Y nos dieron las 10

 

 

Fue en un pueblo con mar
una noche despues de un concierto;
tú reinabas detrás
de la barra del único bar que vimos abierto
-"cántame una canción
al oido y te pongo un cubata"-
-"con una condición:
que me dejes abierto el balcó de tus ojos de gata"-
loco por conocer
los secretos de su dormitorio
esa noche canté
al piano del amanecer todo mi repertorio.
los clientes del bar
uno a uno se fueron marchando,
tú saliste a cerrar,
yo me dije:
"cuidado, chaval, te estas enamorando",
luego todo pasó
de repente, su dedo en mi espalda
dibujo un corazón
y mi mano le correspondió debajo de tu falda;
caminito al hostal
nos besamos en cada farola,
era un pueblo con mar,
yo quería dormir contigo y tú no querías dormir sola...
y nos dieron las diez y las once, las doce y la una
y las dos y las tres
y desnudos al amanecer nos encontró la luna.
nos dijimos adios,
ojalá que volvamos a vernos
el verano acabó
el otoño duró lo que tarda en llegar el invierno,
y a tu pueblo el azar
otra vez el verano siguiente
me llevó, y al final
del concierto me puse a buscar tu cara entre la gente,
y no halle quien de ti
me dijera ni media palabra,
parecia como si
me quisiera gastar el destino una broma macabra.
no había nadie detrás
de la barra del otro verano.
y en lugar de tu bar
me encontré una sucursal del banco hispano americano,
tu memoria vengué
a pedradas contra los cristales,
-"se que no lo soñé"-
protestaba mientras me esposaban los municipales
en mi declaración
alegué que llevaba tres copas
y empecé esta canción
en el cuarto donde aquella vez te quitaba la ropa
y nos dieron las diez y las once, las doce y la una
y las dos y las tres
y desnudos al amanecer nos encontró la luna.

La gata bajo la lluvia

Amor, tranquilo no te voy a molestar
Mi suerte estaba echada ya lo se
Y se que hay un torrente
Dando vueltas por tu mente

Amor, lo nuestro solo fue casualidad
La misma hora, el mismo boulevard
No temas, no hay cuidado
No te culpo del pasado

Ya lo ves, la vida es asi
Tu te vas y yo me quedo aqui
Llovera y ya no sere tuya
Sere la gata bajo la lluvia
Y maullare por ti

Amor, lo se no digas nada de verdad
Si ves alguna lagrima perdon
Yo se que no has querido
Hacer llorar a un gato herido

Amor, si alguna vez nos vemos por ahi
Invitame un cafe y hazme el amor
Y si ya no vuelvo a verte
Ojala que tengas suerte

Ya lo ves ...

Echame a mi la culpa

SABES MEJOR QUE NADIE
QUE ME FALLASTE
QUE LO QUE PROMETISTE
SE TE OLVIDO
SABES A CIENCIA CIERTA
QUE ME ENGAÑASTE
AUNQUE NADIE TE AMARA
IGUAL QUE YO.

LLENA ESTOY DE RAZONES
PA DESPRECIARTE
Y SIN EMBARGO QUIERO
Q SEAS FELIZ.

CORO

Y ALLA EN EL OTRO MUNDO
EN VEZ DE INFIERNO
ENCUENTRES GLORIA
Y QUE UNA NUBE DE TU MEMORIA
ME LLORE A MI.

DILE AL QUE TE PREGUNTE
QUE NO TE QUIZE
DILE QUE TE ENGAÑABA
QUE FUI LO PEOR
ECHAME A MI LA CULPA
DE LO QUE PASA
CUBRETE TU LA ESPALDA
CON MI DOLOR

CORO

QUE ALLA EN EL OTRO MUNDO
EN VEZ DE INFIERNO
ENCUENTRES GLORIA
Y QUE UNA NUBE
DE TU MEMORIA ME LLORE A MI.

Fué tan poco tu cariño

 

 

Tú querías que te dejara de querer
y lo haz conseguido,
después de pasarme las noches enteras
llorando por tí.

Qué ingrato, que después de haberte dado
lo más bello de mi vida
hoy ya no quieras saber más de mí.

Yo no sé si te olvidaste ya de mí,
probablemente...

Fue tan poco tu cariño para mí
que ahora el que tienes
otro amor lo gozará, sabrá Dios quién
¡que buena suerte!
¡que lo disfrute!
¡que lo aproveche!

Pero no me pidas, deje de olvidar
es imposible,
por que es más fácil que te vuelva yo a querer,
a que te olvide.

Cómo han pasado los años

Cómo han pasado los años,
cómo han cambiado las cosas,
y aquí estamos lado a lado,
como dos enamorados,
como la primera vez.
Cómo han pasado los años,
que mundos tan diferentes,
y aquí estamos frente a frente,
como dos adolescentes,
que se miran sin hablar.

Si parece que fue anoche,
que bailamos abrazados,
y juramos un te quiero,
que nos vimos por entero,
y en secreto murmuramos,
nada nos va a separar.

C'omo han pasado los años,
las vueltas que dio la vida,
nuestro amor siguió creciendo,
y con él, nos fue envolviendo,
habrán pasado los años,
pero el tiempo no ha podido,
hacer que pase lo nuestro.

Si parece que fue anoche,
que bailamos abrazados,
y juramos un te quiero,
que nos vimos por entero,
y en secreto murmuramos,
nada nos va a separar.

Cómo han pasado los años,
las vueltas que dio la vida,
nuestro amor siguio creciendo,
y con él, nos fue envolviendo,
habrán pasado los años,
pero el tiempo no ha podido, hacer que pase, lo nuestro

Me gustas mucho

Yo no he perdido la esperanza 

De tenerte entre mis brazos
Y es el día ha de llegar

Desde hace mucho tiempo que me gustas
Y lo que me gusta mucho lo obtengo
Con toda seguridad
Yo no he perdido la esperanza
De que un día tu me quieras
Y algun día me querrás
Tarde o temprano seras mío
Yo seré tuyo algun día
Y lo tengo que lograr
Que conste amor que ya te lo advertí que no
Descansaré hasta que seas mío no mas
Pues tu me gustas de hace tiempo y mucho tiempo atras.
Me gustas mucho, me gustas mucho tú
Tarde o temprano seré tuyo y mío tú serás
Me gustas mucho, me gustas mucho tú
Tarde o temprano seré tuyo y mío tú serás
Que conste amor que ya te lo advertí que no
Descansaré hasta que seas mio no mas
Pues tu me gustas de hace tiempo mucho tiempo atrás.
