Cantora de Yala

Santa Leoncia de Farfán
De la Quebrada de Reyes
Baja a la carpa de Yala
Con setenta años que tiene
Baja a la carpa de Yala
Con setenta años que tiene

La harina del Carnaval
Le pensamienta las sienes
Cuando sobre el mujerío
Su canto finito crece
Cuando sobre el mujerío
Su canto finito crece

Alegre como pocas
Doña Santa se amanece
El manantial de sus coplas va
Por senderos viejos
El manantial de sus coplas va
Despenando su soledad

No hay una pena de amor
Que por su boca no queme
Ni hay en la carpa baguala
Que por ella no se queje
Ni hay en la carpa baguala
Que por ella no se queje

La chicha al amanecer
En los ojos se le duerme
Hasta que un golpe de caja
Cantando la reverdece
Hasta que un golpe de caja
Cantando la reverdece

Alegre como pocas
Doña Santa se amanece
El manantial de sus coplas va
Por senderos viejos
El manantial de sus coplas va
Despenando su soledad

Ponta de Areia

Ponta de areia
Ponto final
Da Bahia-Minas
Estrada natural

Que ligava Minas
Ao porto do mar
Caminho de ferro
Mandaram arrancar

Velho maquinista
Com seu boné
Lembra do povo alegre
Que vinha cortejar

Maria Fumaça
Não canta mais
Para moças flores
Janelas e quintais

Um grito, um oi
Casas esquecidas
Viúvas nos portais

I Know You Know

The way you look at me
When you think I'm not looking
Tells me

Your heart's a sleeping giant
Worn out by someone you loved before me
I see you're scared
Unconvinced by what I've tried to say
That I am yours and that nothing will take me away

You already know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away
I know that you know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away

The way you always call me
With some question
And every time
Try to pretend
You didn't call me
Just 'cause I was on your mind
Too soon for you to say out loud
But I know, you love me
And though we don't say it
Already shows

You already know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away
I know that you know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away

You already know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away
You already know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away

I wait for you to open up
But it's not a bore
You're just what I've been looking for
Why do you keep your head in the sand
Whoever you loved before me that ran's
Nothing like me
Nothing like me
Nothing like me

You already know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away
I know that you know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away

You already know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away
I know that you know
But I'll sing it again
I love you babe
And nothing will take me away

The way you look at me
When you think I'm not looking
The way you call me up
Just to see what's cooking
The way you look at me
When you think I'm not looking
I look at you that way too
You just don't know that I do

I know that you know
You already know

I know you know
And I know it shows
That I know you know
I know you love me baby
I can see you love me
I know
I already know
But I'll sing it again
I'll sing it again

Fall In

Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Just fall into a dream

They say if you die in a dream
You die in real life
Well I just died in your arms
Lost in your eyes
And I know this must be a dream
'Cause I feel like I can fly to heaven

They say if you live in a dream
You're hopelessly lost
Well this ain't just any old dream
For our paths have crossed
And I may be hopelessly lost
But somehow I've managed to find heaven

And won't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Just fall into a dream
We will never fall

Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Don't worry if we fall in love
We will never touch the ground
Just fall into a dream

Cuerpo y Alma

Mi corazón esta triste y solo
Por ti suspiro cariño por ti solo
Porque no has visto
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma

Mis días pasan con tristeza
Y me pregunto porque me haces esto
En serio te digo
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma

Es tan difícil de creer
No puedo imaginar
Que tú rechaces mi amor

Acaso pretendes
Que pareces al final
Si al menos tuviera un chance más

Mi vida la está haciendo pedazos
Lo sabes soy tuya
Uy puedes tomarme
Felizmente me rindo
Yo para ti cuerpo y alma

Es tan difícil de creer
No puedo imaginar
Que tú rechaces mi amor

Acaso pretendes
Que pareces al final
Si al menos tuviera un chance más

Mi vida la está haciendo pedazos
Tu sabes soy tuya
Uy puedes tomarme
Felizmente me rindo
Yo para ti cuerpo y alma
Soy para ti cuerpo y alma
Solo para ti cuerpo y alma
Cuerpo y alma, cuerpo y

She Got To You

If I had a penny
For every time I caught you
Undressing me with your eyes
I'd be a rich one and then
I could prove all my senses
Were real all along
You wanted me too

Though now you laugh
And call me a fool
I know you wanted me too
Before she got to you

If I could remember
All the things you used to say
When we were left alone
I'd have a book of sonnets so inspired
All the muses would cringe at your denial
At how you wanted me too

Though now you laugh
And call me a fool
I know you wanted me too
Before she got to you

Before she got to you
I would say
That we were something special to behold
But now it's over, all over
Before she came barging through
We were prime to make the kind of love
As scarce as four leaf clover

Now, I'm a bit confused
'Cause what I felt I thought was true
Did she barge in and steal your heart away
Or did you know from the first day
I was just someone to play
If so, damn that's cold

Before she got to you
I would say
That we were something special to behold
But now it's over, all over
Before she came barging through
We were prime to make the kind of love
As scarce as four leaf clover

If I could understand
What you have found in her more than you
Could have had with me
I'd finally understand a mind
As twisted as yours
Must be for you to go
Just when you wanted me too

Though now you laugh
And call me a fool
I know you wanted me too
What kind of spell
Has she put on you
I know you wanted me too
Before she got to you
Before she got to you

Precious

Love me or leave me
But please don't deceive me
And say you'll love me how I am
You love the way I fit some ideal
Not the real woman you've yet to understand
See, love ain't all heaven
And I am no angel
But I do the best I can

You always wanted something more from my body
And said you needed something more from my loving
But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down

Now it's no nice excuse
But all the magic was used up on trying to uphold
Some kind of tame, flattering persona that
Soon enough was getting real old
It takes more than pressure to change rock to diamond
Now all you have is sand slipping through your fingers

You always wanted something more from my body
And said you needed something more from my loving
But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down

But I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
Trying to explain and being ashamed of things you think are wrong with me
I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
Trying to explain and being ashamed of what you think is wrong with me
I'm not

Set you up, you say I set you up
Like I was different than
What I am offering you now
Let you down, you say I let you down
And drove your heart around
Did you forget about all of the love
And the acceptance that you promised me too

You always wanted something more from my body
And said you needed something more from my loving
But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down

You always wanted something more from my body
And said you needed something more from my loving
But all you got was me and that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down

But I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
Trying to explain and being ashamed of things you think are wrong with me
I'm not gonna sit around and waste my precious divine energy
Trying to explain and being ashamed of what you think is wrong with me
No

Love In Time

Wait a little while
We can't rush what belongs
To the heavens above
Like the course of our love without time
We'll never see what's behind
This elusive romance
Could be two who'll prove love
Is more than mere chance

Let's wait a little while
And find out why we're waiting
Amidst those parading
Desire like a torch fire
Amidst those who scramble
For love all of flutter
When true love is something subtler
We'll create if we just wait

We can't rush a happy ending
That's not in our destiny's plan
Sweet this seems we can't see
The grand scheme of our lives
Which really are what we'd share
If this romance is true
So take time to live yours
I will too while we

Wait a little while
And be sure we're not fooled
By the things we've been schooled
To take as signs that love's arrived
Like charm wit and beauty
Our youth made us seek them
But in truth we don't need them
We're in love, so let's take our time

Wait a little while
And find out why we're waiting
Amidst those parading
Desire like a torch fire
Amidst those who scramble
For love all of flutter
When true love is something subtler
We'll create when we just wait

We can't rush a happy ending
That's not in our destiny's plan
Sweet this seems we can't see
The grand scheme of our lives
Which really are what we'd share
If this romance is true
So take time to live yours
I will too while we

Wait a little while
And be sure we're not fooled
By the things we've been schooled
To take as signs that love's arrived
Like charm wit and beauty
Our youth made us seek them
But in truth we don't need them
We're in love, so let's take our time
We'll take our time
We're in love, so let's just take our time

Espera

People I almost gave up holding on
Watching us give into our fears
I almost believe
Almost believe

All the world is helpless sorrow
No hope for a bright tomorrow
But I'm not sure enough
To give it up, no

Now as I learn how I must work for change
I nearly cave in from the weight
I almost believe
Almost believe
All the sorrows will consume me
'Til peace among men I never can see
But I'm not sure enough to give it up

I'll keep faith
Like so many souls who won't be drowned
By evil in the world
I have faith in mankind
That we can guide our choices towards a healthy world
In time to ease our bind
For only hard work through time
Can change men's minds
I know if we make some small changes now
We'll heal ourselves, some way, some how

I don't expect to ever taste the fruit
My life devoted could bring forth
I almost believe
Well I do believe
Oh the path to peace is endless
So, choosing to close our eyes makes our fault mendless
Of this I'm sure enough

I won't give up
I'm sure enough
And I won't give up
I'm sure enough
And I won't give up

Samba Em Prelúdio

Eu sem você
Não tenho porquê
Porque sem você
Não sei nem chorar
Sou chama sem luz
Jardim sem luar
Luar sem amor
Amor sem se dar

Eu sem você
Sou só desamor
Um barco sem mar
Um campo sem flor
Tristeza que vai
Tristeza que vem
Sem você, meu amor
Eu não sou ninguém

Ai, que saudade
Que vontade de ver
Renascer nossa vida
Volta querido
Os meus braços
Precisam dos teus
Teus abraços
Precisam dos meus

Estou tão sozinha
Tenho os olhos cansados
De olhar para o além
Vem ver a vida
Sem você, meu amor
Eu não sou ninguém

Ai, que saudade
Que vontade de ver
Renascer nossa vida
Volta querido
Teus abraços
Precisam dos meus
Os meus braços
Precisam dos teus

Estou tão sozinha
Tenho os olhos cansados
De olhar para o além
Vem ver a vida
Sem você, meu amor
Eu não sou ninguém

Sem você, meu amor
Eu não sou ninguém
Sem você, meu amor
Eu não sou ninguém

Little Fly

( Poem By William Blake )

Little fly
The summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away

Am not I
A fly like thee
Or art not thou
A man like me
Little fly

For I dance
And drink and sing
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing

I thought is life
And strength and breath
And the want
Of thought is death
Little fly

Then am I
A happy fly
If I live
Or if I die

Wild Is The Wind

( Dimitri Tiomkin / Ned Washington )

Love me, love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
Wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
For we're like creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

You touch me
I hear the sound
Of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me
All things to me
Don't you know
You're life itself

Like the leaf clings to the tree
So my darling, cling to me
Let my love blow through you
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind
Is the wind
Wilder than the wind
My love
Wild is the wind
Let my heart love you
Wild is the wind
Wild is the wind

For we're like creatures of the wind
Love me wilder than the wind

Apple Blossom

Mother of the spring
Her branches cradle sleeping buds
Yawning open
Welcomed by an aging man
He greets them fondly

With memories of when
Her boughs were arms that held him
As a younger man together
They would marvel
At the birth of springtime

Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms
Every year where they used to go walking
And he tells her about the summer and the autumn
The winter in his heart
and their apple blossoms

In summer they would dream
Of being three and smile
Imagining her round
As the apples on the ground
That fall they loved and waited

But winter came too soon
Before their seed could bloom
She wilted from the chill
And all fell cold and still

Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms
Every year where they used to go walking
And he tells her about the summer and the autumn
The winter in his heart
And their apple blossoms

As he opened the earth to receive her
He prayed heaven would be waiting to meet her
He kisses her cold cheek goodbye
But he couldn’t surrender the hopes they had sired
So in her folded hands
He placed a seed
From their favorite tree
And he laid her to rest neath a blanket of white
Until they meet again in the springtime

Now he stands beneath the apple blossoms
Every year where they used to go walking
And from above she’s always watching
But her body lies ‘neath the apple blossoms

Mother of the spring
The sleeping buds she cradles
Slowly yawn open
Welcomed by an aging man
He greets them fondly

Winter Sun

Once autumn's glow
Has gone away
And gray cotton clouds
Blanket drowsy days
You're the winter sun

Once fallen leaves
Have lost their crunch
And turn to confetti
Brown and orange
I know soon
You'll come tame the whip of the wind
And bathe the naked branches with warmth and light

When tired bones tremble
From the cold
One kiss of your warmth
Heals the soul
Shine winter sun
Make this cold heart whole

Once autumn's glow
Has gone away
And grey cotton clouds
Blanket drowsy days
I know soon you'll
Come tame the whip of the wind
And bathe my naked branches with warmth and light
You’re the winter sun

Inútil Paisagem

( Carlos Jobim / Aloysio de Oliveria )

There's no use
Of a moonlight glow
Or the peaks where winter snows
What's the use of the waves that we break
In the cool of the evening
What is the evening without you
It's nothing

It may be
You will never come
If you never come to me
What's the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
To nowhere

Mas pra que
Pra que tanto céu
Pra que tanto mar, pra que
De que serve esta onda que quebra e o vento da tarde
De que serve a tarde, inútil paisagem

Pode ser
Que nao venhas mais
Que nao venhas nunca mais
De que servem as flôres que nascem pelos caminhos
Se o meu caminho sózinho é nada

Radio Music Society

Radio song

Right now you need it
Driving yourself through the hard times
Traffic won't speed up
So you turn the radio on

But it's the same old stuff that just makes you yawn
Well somehow he feels it
And the DJ at the station
Sends sweet salvation
When he starts to play this song
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Now you can't help singing along
Even through you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song will keep you groovin'
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
Soon as you hear it
The words are speaking to you
As if they knew you
This song's the one
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
The words are speaking to you
This song's the one
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
Soon as you hear it
The words are speaking to you
As if they knew you
This song's the one

Even through you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song's the one

And then they start mixin' it up

When you tired and stale and missin' something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save

When you tired and stale and missin' something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save
Now that's how we know the power of song can save

Well that can surely save the day
And keep you grooving
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
The words are speaking to you
Yes, this song's the one
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
Soon as you hear it
The words are speaking to you
As if they knew you
Yes this song's the one

Smiling and driving
Sounds like soon it might be over
So you pull over
And start scrambling for the pen
But then the verse comes in again

Paper in hand you
Can't help moving while you're listening
Your skin starts bristling
Here comes the part you know

And you can't help singing along
Even through you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong
This song will keep you groovin'
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
Soon as you hear it
The words are speaking to you
As if they knew you
This song's the one
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
The words are speaking to you
This song's the one
Keep traffic movin'
Played to lift your spirits
Soon as you hear it
The words are speaking to you
As if they knew you
Yes this song's the one
Yes this song's the one

Now if you want to sing it loud with me
With love in your heart
Because you like to
Because you need to

Now if you want to sing it loud with me
With love in your heart
Because you like to
Because you need to...

Cinnamon Tree

Cinnamon tree
Graceful and free
We meet just once in awhile
With the spice in your smile
Is magic to me

Cinnamon tree
Wise and sturdy
Your roots are firm in the ground
To soak up what's around
And make sweet seasoning

Please rub off on me
So I carry a little of your auburn hue
For spice when days are dull or dreary
You bend your boughs towards me
Times I'm weak and need someone to turn to
You share your flavour ease my misery
You give all that you are
And just keep on growing
Your flagrance lives in all who know you
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Cinnamon tree
Graceful and free
We meet just once in awhile
But the spice in your smile
Is magic to me

Cinnamon tree
Wise and sturdy
Your roots are firm in the ground
To soak up what's around
And make sweet seasoning

It still amazes me
I just think of one stirring conversation
With you and my cup is filled with new infusions
And like your honesty
In the midst of all the sweetened chatter
Your earthy taste adds real perspective
You give all that you are
And just keep on growing
Your flagrance lives in all who love you

Cinnamon tree
Graceful and free
We meet just once in awhile
But the spice in your smile
Is magic to me

Where is the throne
For you whose tender strength can heal a thousand souls
Everyone you touch just turns to gold

Many have tried
But you're the one whose noble touch has gently pried
The sword from my heart

Once you've put a smile on the sun
Once you've paved the road for everyone
Once you've shared, shared the burdens of another
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Then you lay your burdens down

I'll be beside you as you vanquish pain and woe
Each battlefield transformed now
Hope can grow

All this you sure can
Do alone but I know even the strongest man
Needs someone to hold him

Once you've carried all the weight on the shoulders
Once you've made a way for the future

Just lay your burdens down
Don't even make a sound
Don't worry about a thing
I'm here to love you

My kisses are your crown
And I'm your queen
So now lay with me my king

Land Of The Free

Finally they've exonerated Dupree
But it cost him his parents and his wife
His home, his life
In the land of the free

Five fifths an innocent man
But the court only saw three
He spent eleven thousand days locked away
In the land of the free
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
How can we

Until we've unbound the praying hands
Of each innocent woman and man

Black Gold

Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Maybe no one else will tell you
So remember that you are

Black gold, black gold
You are black gold

Now maybe no one else has ever told you so
But you're golden baby, you're black gold with a diamond soul
But of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men, builders of civilization
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
There'll be folks hell bent on putting you down
Don't get burned, don't get burned
Not necessarily everyone will know your world
No, no, no, no, all your world

Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men, builders of civilization

Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Maybe no one else will tell you
So remember that you are

Black gold, black gold
You are black gold

Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient men, powerful men, builders of civilization

Hold your head as high as you can
High enough to see who you are little man
Life sometimes is cold and cruel
Maybe no one else will tell you
So remember that you are

Black gold, black gold
You are black gold

You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold

I Can't Help It

( Michael Jackson Cover )

I can't help myself

I was looking in my mirror
Took me by surprise
I can't help but see you
Running often through my mind

Helpless as a baby
Sensual disguise
I can't help but love you
It's getting better all the time

But I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

You just make me feel so, so

Love to run my fingers
Softly while you sigh
Love came and possessed you
Bringing sparkles to your eyes

Like a trip to heaven
Heaven is the prize
I'm so glad I found you
You're an angel in disguise
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no

I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, even if I could
I can't help it if I wanted to
I wouldn't help it, no...

Hold On Me

I can hold my tongue for years I don't mind
For within that time silent I recite
Thousands of poems about you
Until one of them comes true

I can hold my breath for years I won't get blue
One sweet sigh from you
In my memory the breath of life that tides me through
Until the air is clear enough
To breathe around you I'll keep holding on
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Such a thrill when you're near
But a staggering feet
Holding still when I feel
Folks can hear my heart beat
Your love may never flow my way
Still I'm gonna keep holding on

Shouldn't I just let go
Since there's nothing left to do
Time just melts away
And the current grow stronger
Pulling me downstream toward you
But until my love runs dry
I'm gonna keep holding on

Holding on life
Can't help myself when you're near
My head goes wild
And my heart beats like an eager child
I keep holding on, holding on

Vague Suspicions

On the neon news they won’t be talking about his life
That was still unfolding when he had to fly
Toward toward God

May this war end enshallah he knelt to pray
When a dusty troop mis-judged and blew him away
Strangers same God
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
They are faceless numbers in the headlines we've all read
Drone strike leaves thirteen civilians dead
Hold that thought

My god

Maybe your heart is seized with passing pity for the dead
And vague suspicions creep into your head
Am I part of war
And what is God for

Endangered Species

She is in danger too
Human danger
Lone canary nesting near a fun way whispers

Earthly strangers
Mighty jet planes fly you casually glancing
Over seas and mountains

Too high to see
This dying bird singing her swan song
No one hears it through the din as engines burn

Stars across the sky
Watch the caveman fly
Taking in the sights
Breathing out things die

Mother nature
Dying to reach you hasn't heard from you in ages
Since when her young children
Listened to her songs with awe and reverence
Now adolescents growing fast and eating her heart
No more thank you's no good mornings
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Earthly
Dangers

What was once your modest home now
Swarms with cars and poison
Brown skies noise and playing with toys
That kill your family
Blowing up the mountains foul oil fountains

Watch the caveman burn through the sky
The last canary screams her final song and dies
While towards her nest crawl more sprawling towns
What burns up must come down

Human nature scrambling late to curb hard consequences
Young mankind so much potential
Time to head earth's guidance
Though our science brought us to novel heights
We must come back to mother

First she'll ground then she'll whisper
You were my most endangered species

She is in danger too

Let Her

You just walked in
To the quiet after the storm, yeah
It's chillingly silent
And you sense that something's wrong
Hmmm something's surely wrong

And then you saw the letter
With her keys laying on the counter
And you know just what it means
And grab the phone to call her

Now is this another of her cruel jokes
Or she made good those threats to finally leave you
Tears well up in your eyes
But your worm down nerves won't let you cry and finally
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
She's gone, bye, bye so long
Let her go
She's gone, bye bye so long now
Life goes on

The apartment stripped and silent
Still you hear each fight and sobbing make up
And all those crazy ways you forgave each time she loved you
Now that you're all alone
You realize she filled your life with litter
Her kisses used to thrill now the after taste is bitter
With the memories from the mess you've endured and now

She's gone, bye, bye so long
Let her go
She's gone, bye bye so long now
Life goes on

She's gone, bye, bye so long
Let her go
She's gone, bye bye so long now
Life goes on

She's gone, bye, bye so long
Let her go
She's gone, bye bye so long now
Life goes on

City Of Roses

City of roses
Streets lined with red bricks and green branches
All the rainy days might seem bleak
Our rain is the paint that makes the land lush and the folks unique
City parks, wild berries, and old bridges
A rolling river running goods to and from the sea
And mountain hooded in snow silently watching over me
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Everywhere I go their roots are with me
And I find
I take along a little piece of heaven
With these memories of mine

From the city of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses

Down along the river weekend market
On sunny Saturdays the waterfront comes alive
With street vendors and hippies that keep a hemp sack flying
All the people you could wish for or imagine
From the farmer in the city selling fresh growns greens
Musicians hustling to make sure that there's a thriving jazz scene

Everywhere I go their roots are with me
And I find
I take along a little piece of heaven
With these memories of mine

Everywhere I go their roots are with me
And I find
I take along a little piece of heaven
With these memories of mine

From the city of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses

Everywhere I go their roots are with me
And I find
I take along a little piece of heaven
With these memories of mine

Everywhere I go their roots are with me
Yeah and I find
Wherever I may travel I take with me
Portland in my mind

City of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses
City of roses, city of roses

Smile Like That

Smile
It's been a while since I've seen that smile
I cannot help but wonder

And it's nothing but natural
To wonder if you've ever loved her
I'll be sure when I see that
I can make you smile like that
Smile like that

Is this something I can't help
But notice the way your eyes focus
On each word and gesture
She does that makes you smile like that
Smile like that

Now, I like that
Your heart is open and you love freely and all but
Not like that
I want us to be two lovely people
But we feel like three

Now I like that your heart is open
And you love freely and all but
Not like that
I want us to be two lovely people
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Just two, just me, just you
But I don't really mind if you smile like that

If it's something you can't help, don't worry
But don't pretend you don't see
And feel what's obvious to me
Every time you smile like that
When you smile like that

If it's something we don't have
It's natural, let's just leave it
At that so to let you be
And let me find someone that makes me smile like that
I wanna smile like that
Then I still like that
Your heart is open and you love freely and all so
Stay like that, I'm sure that we'll be two lovely people
Now I set you free

Jazz Ain't Nothing But Soul

( Norman Mapp )

Trumpets, basses, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people

Jazz is makin' do with 'taters and grits
Standin' up each time you get hip
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Jazz is livin' high off nickels and dimes
Telling folks 'bout what's on your mind
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Nothin' but soul
Nothin' but

Trumpets, basses, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people

For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Soul
Nothin' but soul

Trumpets, basses, saxophones
Rhythm, makin' love
People wearin' fancy clothes
It's the voice of my people
It's the voice of my people

For me, jazz is all the truth to be found
Never mind who's puttin' it down
Jazz, Jazz, Jazz ain't nothin' but soul
Soul, nothing but soul
