Lyrics
You Raise me Up
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.
You raise me up to more than I can be.

Sway
(Quien Sera)
by Pablo Beltran Ruiz
" Sway (¿Quién Será?) " is a bolero-mambo written by Mexican composer Pablo Beltrán Ruiz. Beltrán recorded the song for the first time with his orchestra in 1953. Pedro Infante, for whom the song was written, recorded it in 1954.
Norman Gimbel took the song, removed the somewhat melancholy Spanish lyrics about a man wondering if he shall ever love again, and wrote brand-new English lyrics about a man praising his dancing partner's ability to affect his heart with how she "sways" when they dance. This new song, titled "Sway", has become a standard in both the pop and jazz repertoire. The first version to achieve considerable success in the United States was recorded by singer Dean Martin with the Dick Stabile orchestra in 1954.

Lyrics
Sway
(English - Version)
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
When marimbas start to play
Hold me close, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Quien Sera
(Spanish – Version)
Quién será la que me quiera a mí
Quién será, quién será
Quién será la que me de su amor
Quién será, quién será
Yo no sé si la podré encontrar
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Yo no sé si volveré a querer
Yo no sé, y yo no sé
He querido volver a vivir
La pasión y el calor de otro amor
De otro amor que me hiciera sentir
Que me hiciera feliz
Ay quién será la que me quiera a mí
Quién será, ay quién será
Quién será la que me de su amor
Quién será, ay quién será
Quién será la que me quiera a mí
Quién será, quién será
Quién será la que me de su amor
Quién será, ay quién será
Quién será la que me quiera a mí
Quién será, quién será
Quién será la que me de su amor
Quién será, ay quién será
He querido volver a vivir
La pasión y el calor de otro amor
De otro amor que me hiciera sentir
Que me hiciera feliz
Quién será la que me quiera a mí
Quién será, quién será
Quién será la que me de su amor
¿Quién será, quién será?
Yo no sé si la podré encontrar
Yo no sé si volveré a querer
Yo no sé, yo no sé
Yo no sé

Waltz Op. 39 No. 15
by Johannes Brahms
" Waltz Op. 39 No. 15 " is the fifteenth waltze from the collection Sixteen Waltzes (German; Sechzehn Walzer), Op. 39, a set of 16 short waltzes for piano written by Johannes Brahms. They were composed in 1865, and published in 1866, dedicated to the music critic Eduard Hanslick. These waltzes were written for piano four hands, and were also arranged for piano solo by the composer, in two different versions – difficult and simplified. The three versions were published at the same time, and sold well, contrary to the composer's expectations.
The waltzes were written while the composer lived in Vienna, a city where he would permanently settle in 1872.They were intended as a tribute to the waltz dance form which had become especially fashionable in his adopted city.

Lyrics
The Moon Song
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet starry place
Time's we're swallowed up in space
We're here a million miles away
There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I'd keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear, I'm safe
And we're a million miles away
We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm okay
And we're a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away

Lyrics
Twisted Every Way
Twisted every way, what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life, to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey, do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought, he murders all that's good
I know I can't refuse, and yet, I wish I could
Oh God, if I agree what horrors wait for me
In this, the phantom's opera?
(Raoul)
Christine, Christine
Don't think that I don't care
But every hope and every prayer
Rests on you now

Lyrics
I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of
Believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
I don't want to set the world on fire honey
I love you too much
I just want to start a great big flame
Down in your heart
You see, way down inside of me
Darlin' I have only one desire
And that one desire is you
And I know, nobody else ain't gonna do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of
Believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart

Lyrics
Where Is My Mind?
Ooh, stop
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
Bump into me, swear he's
Tryin' a talk to me, say wait wait
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
Ooh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooh

Love Me With All Your Heart
(Cuando Calienta El Sol)
by Carlos Martinoli / Rafael Gastón Pérez
" Love Me With All Your Heart " is a popular song, based on the Spanish language song "Cuando calienta el sol", originally composed as "Cuando Calienta El Sol En Masachapa".

Lyrics
Love Me With All Your Heart
(English - Version)
That's all I want, love
Love me with all of your heart
As I love you
Just promise me this
That you'll give me all your kisses
Every winter, every summer
Every fall
When we are far apart
Or when you're near me
Love me with all of your heart
As I love you
And don't give me your love
For a moment or an hour
Love me always as you've loved me
From the start
With every beat of your heart
Cuando Calienta El Sol
(Spanish - Original)
Cuando calienta el sol aquí en la playa
Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mí
Es tu palpitar, es tu cara, es tu pelo
Son tus besos, me estremezco, oh, oh, oh
Cuando calienta el sol aquí en la playa
Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mí
Es tu palpitar, tu recuerdo, mi locura
Mi delirio, me estremezco, oh oh oh
Cuando calienta el sol
Aquí en la playa
Cerca de mí
Es tu palpitar, es tu cara, es tu pelo
Son tus besos, me estremezco, oh, oh, oh
Cuando calienta el sol aquí en la playa
Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mí
Es tu palpitar, tu recuerdo, mi locura
Mi delirio, me estremezco, oh oh oh

It was released on 13 February 1967 as a double A-side single with "Penny Lane".

Lyrics
Strawberry Fields Forever
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't, you know, tune in
But it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

Lyrics
The Meeting Of The Waters
As the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet,
Oh! the last rays of feeling and life must depart
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
Yet it was not that Nature had shed o'er the scene
Her purest of crystal and brightest of green
'Twas not her soft magic of streamlet or hill
Oh! no, it was something more exquisite still.
Oh! no, it was something more exquisite still
'Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom were near
Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear
And who felt how the best charms of Nature improve
When we see them reflected from looks that we love.
When we see them reflected from looks that we love.
Sweet Vale of Avoca! how calm I could rest,
In thy bosom of shade, with the friends I love best
Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace.
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace.

Panis Angelicus
by Cesar Franck
" Panis Angelicus " (Latin for "Bread of Angels" or "Angelic Bread") is the penultimate strophe of the hymn "Sacris solemniis" written by Saint Thomas Aquinas for the feast of Corpus Christi as part of a complete liturgy of the feast, including prayers for the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.
The strophe of "Sacris solemniis" that begins with the words "Panis angelicus" ("bread of angels") has often been set to music separately from the rest of the hymn. Most famously, in 1872 César Franck set this strophe for tenor voice, harp, cello, and organ, and incorporated it into his Messe à trois voix.
