"Piano Na Mangueira"
(originally by Chico Buarque)



Mangueira
Estou aqui na plataforma da Estação Primeira
O Morro veio me chamar
De terno branco e chapéu de palha
Vou me apresentar à minha nova parceira
Já mandei subir o piano pra Mangueira

A minha música não é de levantar Poeira
Mas pode entrar no barracão
Onde a cabrocha pendura a saia
No amanhecer da quarta-feira Mangueira
Estação Primeira de Mangueira

"Please Make Him Love Me"



Answer my fervent prayer
Please make him love me
Don't leave me in despair
Please make him want me and need me

Every night before I sleep I
Ask the Lord to bless and keep you
Bless, bless, bless you I pray

And as I in my prayer, I say
Please make him love me
Teach him to care
Please make him love me

Answer my fervent prayer
And make him love me
Don't leave me in despair
Please make him want me and need me

In the chapel of my heart
I pray that we will not be parted
Bless, bless, bless you I pray

And as I in my prayer, I say
Please make him love me
Teach him to care
Please make him love me

Answer my fervent prayer
And make him love me
Don't leave me in despair
Please make him want me and need me and love me

Please make him love me
Please, please make him love me

"Pocketful Of Miracles"



Pee-racticality dee-oesn't interest me
Love's the life that I lead
I've got a pocketful of miracles

And with a pocketful of miracles
One little miracle a day is all I need

Tee-roubles more or less bee-other me, I guess
When the sun doesn't shine
But there's that pocketful of miracles
And with a pocketful of miracles
The world's a bright and shiny apple that's mine, all mine

I hear sleigh bells ringing
Smack in the middle of May

I go around like there's snow around
I feel so good, it's Christmas ev'ry day

Lee-ife's a carousel fee-ar as I can tell
And I'm riding for free
So, if you're down and out of miracles
I've got a pocketful of miracles
And there'll be miracles enough for you and me

I hear sleigh bells ringing

Smack in the middle of May
I go around like there's snow around
(I feel so good, it's Christmas ev'ry day)

Lee-ife's a carousel fee-ar as I can tell
And I'm riding for free
(I've got a pocketful of miracles)
But if I had to pick a miracle
My fav'rite miracle of all is you and me

"Promises, Promises"



I'm all through with promises, promises now
I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out
If I shout, remember I feel free
Now I can look at myself and be proud
I'm laughing out loud

Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises, promises end
I don't pretend that what was wrong can be right
Every night I sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises, take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love!!

Every night I sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart

Oh, promises, their kind of promises can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love!!

"Put Yourself In My Place"



Put yourself in my place
And you wouldn't do the things you do to me
If you put yourself in my place
You'd know the meaning of misery

Sleepless nights, tossing and turning
Days and nights of worry and wondering
Put yourself in my place
Then you will realize why there are tears
So many tears in my eyes

How can you stand there and tell me
That girl was just an old friend, oh baby
When I seen you with her
Time and time again

You tell me she doesn't mean a thing to you
But in the meanwhile, baby, just look what I'm going through
If you put yourself in my place
You wouldn't see her anymore

Put yourself in my place
You would learn to treat me right
Put yourself in my place
You wouldn't stay out late at night

Put yourself in my place
Ohh, darling, just try it
Put yourself in my place

Put yourself in my place
You'd learn to treat me right
And you wouldn't stay out late at night

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head"
(originally by B.J. Thomas)



Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those
Raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those
Raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing, I know
The blues they sent to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying's not for me, 'cause
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Crying 's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

"Reach Out For Me"



When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept
The abuse you are taking
Darlin' reach out for me

Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll confort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you

When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
Could throw in the towel and just given in
Darlin' reach out for me

"Reaching For The Sky"


Love, it's not the first time for us
We've both been there before
It's just a change
Every lover changed to find romance
If it's love you're searchin' for
yea

I hope that love will stay
You just can't throw love away, no, no
I feel like reaching for the sky, singing
Said I feel like reaching for the sky
I'm so inspired
I wanna reach a little higher
I'll be your lover and a friend
Love may never come again
Never come again, never, never come again

Time, to look ahead and leave the past behind
If it's love you're searchin' for
Now
Open up and love will show you how
Girl, it's you that I adore

[Chorus]

"Reservations For Two"
(duet with Kashif)



It's been so long
Since I last saw you
We're always running
No time for loving
Let's take some time out
To know each other again
You know I miss you
You're my best friend

I don't want to lose you
You're the one I'm living for
And I need you here beside me
Can't be without you anymore

[Chorus:]
Let's make reservations for two
This is just between me and you
There will be standing in line
Because tonight you're mine

We'll unplug the phones
Turn the lights down low
Hold each tight
And take it real slow
I want you to myself
To share with no one else
Make each moment last
For ever and ever and ever

Pretend we're on an island
All alone just you and me
Where no one will ever find us
There's no place I'd rather be

[Repeat Chorus]

Tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine
Oh tonight you're mine
Mine

I don't want to lose you
You're what I'm living for
Oh I need you here beside me here baby
Can't be without you anymore

[Repeat Chorus]

I don't want to lose you
You're what I'm living for
Oh I need you here beside me here baby
Can't be without you anymore

[Repeat Chorus]

We've got reservations for two
This is just between me and you
There will be no standing in line
For baby, tonight you're mine
Tonight you're mine.

"Shall I Tell Her"


Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?
Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her you're not, you're not here?

[?] calling on the phone
Wants to know if I'm alone
Shall I tell her that I'm holding you
Doing all the things I've longed to do
Or shall I, shall I tell her you're not here?

Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?
Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?

She's asking me if you dropped by
But it's so hard for me to lie
If I tell the truth I'll lose a friend
I would hate to see our friendship end
So shall I, shall I tell her you're not here?

Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?
Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?

Oh, time will ease the pain, and she'll soon forget
Then she'll fall in love again, forget we ever met

[?] a gonna cry I know
Because she really loves you so
Shall I send you back into her arms
Spend my life just dreaming of your charms
Or shall I, shall I tell her you're not here?

Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?
Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her you're not, you're not here?

Shall I tell her you're not here
Shall I tell her?

"So Amazing"



Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute I had since you come my way
I hope you know I gladly go
Anywhere you take me

It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above

Got to tell you how you thrill me
I'm happy as I can be
You have come and changed my whole world
Bye bye sadness hello mellow
What a wonderful day

It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above

And it's so amazing, so amazing
I could stay forever, forever
I would leave you never, never
Cause we go amazing love
Truly it's amazing, so amazing
Love brought us together, together
I would leave you never, never
Cause we got amazing love

So amazing and I've been waiting
For a love like you

It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above

It's so amazing to be loved
I'll follow you to the moon in the sky above

"Some Other Time"



Where has the time all gone to?
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

Just when the fun is startin'
Comes the time for partin'
But let's just be glad for what we've had
And what's to come

There's so much more embracin'
Still to be done but time is racin'
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

There's so much more embracin'
Still to be done but time is racin'
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

"Somebody's Angel"


Everybody's been taking
Till my poor heart is breaking
It's so hard believing
That life is worth living
But now that I met you
I see a chance that you might come through
Don't let me down
Right now I stand
My heart in your hand, so please

[Chorus:]
Don't you want to be somebody's angel
Just for tonight
Only you can save me
Only you do it right

Don't tell me I'm crazy
When I say forever's not far away
Just close your eyes
Repeat after me
Hold on, say "I love you"

[Chorus]

"Something"
(originally by The Beatles)



Something in the way he moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way he woos me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in his smile he knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in his style that shows me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe and how

You’re asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way he knows
And all I have to do is think of him
Something in the things he shows me
I don't want to leave him now
You know I believe and how

"Somewhere"



Someday, somewhere
Well find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
Well find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and were half way there
Just hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow
Someday, somewhere

"Stronger Than Before"



And if you don't believe what I say
You won't believe, I'm not that way

And I never meant to turn the hurt around
I would be a fool to lose the love I've found
And if you take me back, I'll let you know

I'll be stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back

I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me

And if you heard the whole thing before
Then once again, I'll tell you more

I would be a fool to ever let you go
But I had to go away to finally know
How much I need you back, I need your love

I'll be stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back

I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me

I'll be stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back

I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me
If you come back, come back to me, come back

And I'll be stronger than before
I will love you even more
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back

I'll take you anywhere you ever want to be
You're the light inside of me
Oh, I'll take you back if you come back to me
If you come back, come back to me

"Summertime"



Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by

"Sunny Weather Lover"



Don't take the song out of my life
Let me sing the words
Lend me everything
Come on and let me sing our love song

And don't take the sun out of my sky
Let it shine as bright
As when you were mine
Come on and let it shine upon us

Give me a chance, a chance to make up
Remember you say we never break up
Don't be a sunny weather lover
Even know the rains
Had come, don't go

Don't take the joy out of my heart
Let me smile once more
for a little while
Come back and let us smile together

Give me a chance, a chance to make up
Remember you say we never break up
Don't be a sunny weather lover
Even know the rains
Had come, don't go

Let me reach out, reach out and hold you
I need you more than I'd ever told you
If we just try, I know we'll make it
Any moment now, the sun could shine

Let the sun shine
just for a little while
come back and let us smile together

Give me a chance, a chance to make up
Remember you say we never break up
Don't be a sunny weather lover
Even know the rains
Had come, don't go

Let me reach out, reach out and hold you
I need you more than I'd ever told you
If we just try, I know we'll make it
Any moment now, the sun could shine

Give me a chance, a chance to make up
Remember you say we never break up
(you say we never, never break up)
Don't be a sunny weather lover
Even know the rains
Had come, don't go

"Sweetie Pie"


Sweetie pie, don't you ever make me cry
Do your best not to tell me no more lies
You've been lovin' me so doggone good
And I'm lettin' you know it's understood

[Chorus:]
And I love you, sweetie pie,
You're like the morning rain
So fresh and new, and I'll say it again
And I love you, sweetie pie
You're like the morning rain
So fresh and new, and I'll say it again,
and I'll say it again...

Sweetie pie, won't you come and live with me
Fill my hopes, my dreams, my fantasies
I've got so much love you won't believe
Yes, I know my heart is on my sleeve

[Chorus]

"Take The Short Way Home"



Take the short way home

You've been makin' up your mind
And I can save you from the trouble that your heart is goin' through
And I can tell you what your future's gonna be
Maybe we can open up your eyes
Baby, you can't leave me now

There is lightening in the city
Stranger than you ever saw
Get back to your special lover
And I won't ever turn on you
Or tell you you should tell me where you go

Take the short way home
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied

And you can make it easy on yourself
Some other love will call my name when you're away and I'll be gone
And there's no other who could love you more
I keep talkin' to myself when I'm alone
I don't wanna be alone

Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you'll discover
There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for
I could not give you now if you are gone

Take the short way home (Home)
Baby, take care of your health
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied

Crazy people in the shadows
Love is only what you find
Come back here and you'll discover
There ain't nothin' you've been searchin' for
I could not give you now if you are gone

Take the short way home (Take the short way home)
Baby, take care of your health (Take care of your health)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself (Hey, hey)

Take the short way home (The short way home)
You'll be safe here by my side (Be safe here by my side)
In this world of evil (Yeah) I can't keep you satisfied (Can't keep you satisfied)

Take the short way home (Take the short way home)
Baby, take care of your health (Take care of your health)
In this world of evil (Oh)
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
You'll be safe here by my side (Right by my side)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you satisfied (Yeah, yeah)

Take the short way home (Home)
Baby, take care of your health (Oh, yeah)
In this world of evil
I can't keep you to myself

Take the short way home
