The Last Laugh II

Mecano – Un año mas

Mecano – Un año mas

En la puerta del sol
como el año que fue
otra vez el champagne y las uvas
y el alquitran, de alfombra estan
los petardos que borran sonidos de ayer
y acaloran el animo
apara aceptar que ya paso uno mas.

Y en el reloj de antaño
como de año en año
cinco minutos mas para la cuenta atras
hacemos el balance de lo bueno y malo
cinco minutos antes
de la cuenta atras.

Marineros, soldados, solteros casados,
amantes, andantes y alguno que otro
cura despistao
Entre gritos y pitos los españolitos
enormes, bajitos hacemos por una vez,
algo a la vez

Y en el reloj de antaño
como de año en año
cinco minutos mas para la cuenta atras
hacemos el balance de lo bueno y malo
cinco minutos antes
de la cuenta atras.

Y aunque para las uvas hay algunos nuevos
a los que ya no estan echaremos de menos
y a ver si espabilamos los que estamos vivos
y en el año que viene nos reimos
1, 2, 3 y 4 y empieza otra vez
que la quinta es la una
y la sexta es la dos
y asi el siete es tres

Y decimos adios y pedimos a Dios
que en el año que viene
a ver si en vez de un millon
pueden ser dos.

En la puerta del sol
como el año que fue
otra vez el champagne y las uvas
y el alquitran, de alfombra estan.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) – John Lennon

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let’s stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
A new one just begun (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas

Melanie Thornton – Wonderful Dream

Melanie Thornton – Wonderful Dream

When the world is ever changing
Like a candle in the dark
There’s a source of inspiration in the air
Let the magic dry your tears and heal your heart

A wonderful dream of love and peace for everyone
Of living our lives in perfect harmony
A wonderful dream of joy and fun for everyone
To celebrate a life where all are free
Now the children’s eyes are shining
Like they never shone before
Let their dreams and aspirations light our way
Living life in harmony forever more

Choirs:
Holidays are coming
Holidays are coming….
Celebrate a life where dreams come true
Love is the reason it’s always the real thing
Watch out – look around

Choirs:
lalala….
lalala….
Celebrate a life where dreams come true
Love’s the reason it’s always the real thing

All I Ask of You-The Phantom of the Opera  (Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson)

(RAOUL)
No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I’m here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I’m here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you

(CHRISTINE)
Say you love me every waking moment
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That’s all I ask of you

(RAOUL)
Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You’re safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.

(CHRISTINE)
All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

(RAOUL)
Then say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
Anywhere you go, let me go too,
That’s all I ask of you

(CHRISTINE)
Say you’ll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you

(TOGETHER)
Share each day with me
Each night, each morning

(CHRISTINE)
Say you love me!

(RAOUL)
You know I do.

(TOGETHER)
Love me, that’s all I ask of you.

Ben Harper – Waiting on an angel

Ben Harper – Waiting on an angel

Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don’t want to go alone
I don’t want to go alone
Now angel won’t you come by me
angel hear my plea
take my hand lift me up
so that I can fly with thee
so that I can fly with thee
And I’m waiting on an angel
and I know it won’t be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel’s arms
in my angel’s arms
So speak kind to a stranger
cause you’ll never know
it just might be an angel come
knockin’ at your door
knockin’ at your door
And I’m waiting on an angel
and I know it won’t be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel’s arms
in my angel’s arms
Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don’t want to go alone
I don’t want to go alone
don’t want to go
I don’t want to go alone

Priscilla Ahn – Dream

Priscilla Ahn – Dream

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.
I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves, and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.
I had a dream.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park, I asked God who I’m supposed to be.
The stars smiled down on me, God answered in silent reverie. I said a prayer and fell asleep.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest tree.
I had a dream.

Now I’m old and feeling grey. I don’t know what’s left to say about this life I’m willing to leave.
I lived it full and I lived it well, there’s many tales I’ve lived to tell. I’m ready now, I’m ready now, I’m ready now to fly from the highest wing.

Goo Goo Dolls – Iris (City of Angels – OST)

Goo Goo Dolls – Iris

And I’d give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Chorus

I don’t want the world to see me
Cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
