San Jose
Writen by bacharach & david
Do you know the way to san jose?
Ive been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.
Do you know the way to san jose?
Im going back to find some peace of mind in san jose.
L.a. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, theyll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. how quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas
Do you know the way to san jose?
Theyve got a lot of space. therell be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in san jose
Im going back to find some peace of mind in san jose.
Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart youre never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
Ive got lots of friends in san jose
Do you know the way to san jose?
Cant wait to get back to san jose.

Carlos Drummond de Andrade: A tribute
What now, José?
The party’s over,
the lights are off,
the crowd’s gone,
the night’s gone cold,
what now, José?
what now, you?
you without a name,
who mocks the others,
you who write poetry
who love, protest?
what now, José?
You have no wife,
you have no speech
you have no affection,
you can’t drink,
you can’t smoke,
you can’t even spit,
the night’s gone cold,
the day didn’t come,
the tram didn’t come,
laughter didn’t come
utopia didn’t come
and everything ended
and everything fled
and everything rotted
what now, José?
what now, José?
Your sweet words,
your instance of fever,
your feasting and fasting,
your library,
your gold mine,
your glass suit,
your incoherence,
your hate—what now?
Key in hand
you want to open the door,
but no door exists;
you want to die in the sea,
but the sea has dried;
you want to go to Minas
but Minas is no longer there.
José, what now?
If you screamed,
if you moaned,
if you played
a Viennese waltz,
if you slept,
if you tired,
if you died…
But you don’t die,
you’re stubborn, José!
Alone in the dark
like a wild animal,
without tradition,
without a naked wall
to lean against,
without a black horse
that flees galloping,
you march, José!
José, where to?

Bacharach / David Medley
(live)
Any day now
Any day now, I will hear you say,
Goodbye my love youll be on your way
And my wild, beautiful bird,
You will have flown, yeah!
Any day now, Ill be all alone
And you wont be around
Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
To my sad surprise
And the blue shadows will fall all over town,
Any day now, you wont be around
Any love will let me down
I shouldnt want to keep you if you dont want to stay
And until youre gone forever
Ill be holding on for dear life, holding on
Holding you this way
And Im begging you to stay
Any day now, when the clock strikes go, youll go away
Then my tears will fall
And the blue shadows will fall all over town, yeah!
Any day now, you wont be around,
And love will let me down
Baby its you
Its not the way you smile
That touches my heart
Its not the way you kiss
That tears me apart
(*) many, many, many nights go by
I sit alone
At home I cry
Over you
What can I do
Cant help myself
cause baby its you
You should hear what theyre saying about you
They say youve never
Never, never been true
Oh! no! no!
It doesnt matter what they say
Im gonna love you any old way
What can I do
When its true
Dont want nobody
cause baby its you
Repeat (*)
Knowing when to leave
Go while the going is good
Knowing when to leave may be
The smartest thing anyone can learn, go!
Im afraid my heart isnt very smart
Fly while your still have your wings
Knowing when to leave wont let you reach
The point of no return, fly!
Foolish as it seems
I still have my dreams
So I keep hoping, day after day
As I wait for the man
And each night after night as I wish
For the love he can be
Though Im sure that no one can tell what are
Whishes and hopefully, somehow I fell
There is happiness waiting for me
When someone walks in your life
You just better be sure hes right
cause if hes found out, heartches and tears you must pay
Keep both of your eyes on the door
Never let it get out of sight
Just be prepared when the time has come
You arent away
Sail when the wind starts to blow
Bul like a fool I dont know when to leave
Make it easy on yourself
If you really love her
And there is nothing I can do
Dont try to spair my feelings
Just tell me that we are through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself...
cause breaking up is so very hard to do
If the way I hold you
Cant compare to her caress
No words of consolation will make me miss you less
My darling... if this is goodbye
I just know I want to cry...
So run to her before you start crying too
And make it easy on yourself...
Make it easy on yourself...
cause breaking up is so very hard to do
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself, easy on yourself
Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
(theres) always something
There to remind me
If you should miss
The sweet and tender love we used to share
That we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go
And Ill be there
Oh, how can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
I will never be free
Youll always be a part of me
When there is always something there to remind me
Ill never fall in love again
Dont tell me what its all about
cause Ive been there and Im glad Im out
Out of those chains, those chains that blind you
That is why Im here to remind you
Here to remind you
Here to remind you
Here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
Ill never fall in love again
Oh, Ill never fall in love again
Walk on by
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe you dont see the tears
Just let me breathe in private
cause each time I see you I break down and cry
Walk on by
I just cant get over losing you
So if I should seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride thats all that I have left
So let me have the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said good-bye
Walk on by, by
Do you know the way to san jose
Do you know the way to san jose?
Ive been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to san jose?
Im going back to find some place of mind san jose
L.a. is a great big freeway

In a week, maybe two theyll make you a star
Weeks turn into years, that quick they pass

No Way Pedro
No way pedro, no way jose
I just wanna know, are you goin my way?
Oh, I saw you standin by the borderline
You can never make up your mind
No way cisco, no way pancho
Why dont you meet me, back at the rancho?
Well, if you get there, please dont be late
How can I get you now, if I hesitate?
No way kemosabe, no way tonto
Come here quick, ya gotta make it pronto
Well, when you head them, off at the pass
Baby, I just want a love to last
No way pedro, no way jose
Just wanna know, are you goin my way?
Oh, I saw you standin, by the borderline
I just want you to make up, your goddamned mind
Youll never make up your mind
Well, youll never make up your mind

Lettin Go In A Relationship.
a relationship is always rough,
and sometimes i love you is not enough,
sometimes breaking up is for the better,
sometimes you think you can make it thru the weather,
sometimes you wanna keep holding on,
but by this time the pain is only moving on,
sometimes is better just to let go,
and sometimes is just best to say no,
what was once strong is now weak,
your heart took a taste of defeat,
sometimes all thats left is to say goodbye,
but you'll always wish you gave it one last try.

Time (part 7) .
time will always change,
time doesn't stay the same,
time brings money and fame,
time is not a game,
time can break you apart,
time can leave you with a broken hart,
time can get you evicted,
time can get you convicted,
time can get you released,
time can't bring back the deceased,
time is what it takes to make wine,
time has a start but no finish line,
time is what boxing has in a ring,
time crowns a queen and a king.

A Enemy / A Friend.
a enemy will always snitch,
a friend likes you wether your poor or rich,
a enemy won't help you in a fight,
a friend is there wether you're wrong or right,
a enemy hurts you day and night,
a friend is like family you're always tight,
a enemy wont catch you if you fall,
a friend is someone you can always call,
a enemy doesn't care if you stay alive,
a friend doesn't let you drink and drive,
a enemy doesn't care if you feel sad,
a friend is there thru good and bad,
a enemy is not a friend hes fake,
a friend will give but not take,
a enemy will try to hit up your girl,
a friend will help you confront the world,
a enemy borrows money and doesn't pay you back,
a friend will always have your back,
a enemy to hurt you will always find a way,
but a friend will always be there until your last day.

My Angel.
MANY OF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR ANGEL
BUT I DO,
I KNOW HER NAME AND THIS IS TRUE,
MY ANGEL LOVES ME WITH ALL HER HEART,
ALTHOUGH I CAN'T SEE HER
WERE NOT FAR APART,
SHE WAS ONCE LIKE YOU AND I,
MY ANGEL GREW WINGS
AND FLEW TO THE SKY,
MY ANGEL IS ALWAYS BY MY SIDE,
ALTHOUGH I CAN'T SEE YOU MOM
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME DEEP INSIDE.

God..
god is the creator,
he can make your life a whole lot better,
god is beatiful,
he can create a miracle,
god can hear all prayers,
he lives in the heavens upstairs,
god loves us all,
he is not that far just give'em a call,
god won't let you fall,
he will make you stand tall,
god will always be there,
he will always care,
god will forgive,
and in our harts he will always live.

We're All Alone (feat. Josey Y. Durval)
Reba
Outside the rain begins and it may never end.
So cry no more on the shore a dream will take us out to sea.
Forevermore, forevermore.
Close your eyes and dream and you can be with me.
Neath the waves, through the caves of hours.
Long forgotten now.
Chorus
We're all alone, we're all alone.
Close the window,
calm the lights and it will be allright.
No need to bother now.
Let it out, let it all begin.
And learn how to pretend.
Jose and Durval
Repetido ya. Lo antiguo pasara.
Fue amor, amantes y dolor.
Con el viento al volor. Abracame. O abracame.
Sin mirar vuelve a vivir.
Ambos sonando asi.
Sin importarnos mas.
Deja ya, regresa a vivir.
Empieza a disfrutar.
Solo yo, sola tu.
Reba
Close the window, calm the lights.
Jose and Durval
Ambos sonando asi. Sin importarnos mas.
Reba
Let it out,
let it all begin.
Jose and Durval
Empieza na disfrutar amor.
Reba
Hold me dear.
All's forgotten
now. My love.
Jose and Durval
Olvidados ya.

Heaven....
HEAVEN IS HERE WITH YOU,
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
AND SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU,
HEAVEN IS A BEATIFUL PLACE,
I SEE IT ALL AROUND WHEN I SEE
YOUR PRETTY FACE,
HEAVEN WASN'T THAT FAR
LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE,
I THANK GOD ME AND YOU WERE MEANT TO BE,
HEAVEN IS HERE WITH YOU,
AND WHEN I SAY THESE WORDS
I DO I REALLY DO LOVE YOU....

Time (part 3) .
time brings out the sun and the rain,
time brings joy and pain,
time turns men from boys,
time gives you a choice,
time is beatiful,
time is sad at a funeral,
time brings out the best of me,
time brings you out of missery,
time is a mistery,
time creates history,
time is something you cant rewind,
time is something you can't search or find,
time could make you lose or win,
time makes all of us sin,
time could be the enemy or the friend,
time has a beggining but no end.

The Death Of A Dog.
my dog grew old and sick so i stood by his side,
but it's the tears in my eyes that im holding inside,
they say a dog is a man's best friend,
well it's true he was there till the very end,
from a puppy to a full grown,
right now i feel like my hart is being torn,
out for walks giving my dog a bone,
now im just sitting here home reminising all alone,
the death of a dog is never easy,
flashbacks when we usto play freezebee,
now im just sitting here reminising,
thinking about how much of you im missing..

You need these walls
For your own
Im moving out of this hospedaje
Im afraid youll cut me boy

Another Girls Name
Go take your bags away
Get out of my home
Get out of my life
I don't want you hanging round
And I don't want you to be my wife
When I go to the cafe
I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
I look at my face today
And I look such a wreck today
I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, Jose
I don't ??? ugly views
And I'm not interested in family muse
And ?? is boring and conversation pours
Even when we're in bed
I wanna rearrange your head
Put down the covers
And get you up against the wall
Shoot good babe
Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, Jose
You follow where it's going
Can't you see I was breaking
How'd you know the love making wasn't only faking
You get out of my home
And you get out of my life
You didn't hang around much girl
'Cause now you're someone else's wife
I go to the cafe
And I sit in the seat that faces the mirror
Well I look at my face today
And I look so good today
Well I knew you well for five minutes and one day
O-oh no way, oh no way, oh no way, Jose
You're just another girls names
O-oh you're just another girls name (X3)

Time (part 8) .
time is always and forever,
time get's worse or better,
time won't dissapear,
time is something you must fear,
time will never expire,
time is what it takes to put out a fire,
time for a drug addict is dead or in jail,
time will take us to heaven or hell.

Time (part 2) .
time starts with a new borns first breath,
time ends with someones death,
time makes you win or loose,
time makes you choose,
time is forever,
time keeps a relationship together,
time always changes,
time goes thru stages,
time is like a book it turns pages,
time gives you a raise in your wages,
time sometimes makes you a drug addict,
time helps you break the habit,
time makes you friends and enemies,
time brings back memories,
time is unpredictable,
time is unforgetable,
time gives you life,
time makes you husband and wife.

In the quiet of this hour
In the quiet of this hour—
When the moon’s vanilla’s
My dessert, the sea
Fluffs cotton puffs, candy
I gather of my thoughts,
Place each between the
Pages of my luck and as
I see the wealth of you,
Within the confines of
My aspirations, there
In the breath of me, you’re
At my side, warm and
Gentle, soft and tender
Residing within the mist of
This loveliest of nights.
And so I say goodnight
My flowers, my roses
My inspirations goodnight

Time (part 4) .
time can take you further,
time commits murder,
time leads to a chase,
time solves a case,
time gives you knowledge,
time takes you to college,
time helps you graduate,
time is love and hate,
time is what we have on this earth,
time gives birth,
time is what they give you with cancer,
time for this has no cure or answer,
time kills,
time reveals,
time gives you oppurtunity,
time for us to live in unity,
time gives evil a chance to attack,
time is what we must wait for god to comeback.
