1.	Star Eyes 06:16	lyrics	buy track
Star eyes -- That to me, is what your eyes are – Soft as stars in April skies are -- Tell me someday you’ll fulfill -- their promise of a thrill! Star eyes -- Flashing eyes in which my hopes rise -- Let me show you where my heart lies -- Let me prove that it adores -- That loveliness of yours! All my life I’ve felt -- Content to stargaze at the skies! Now I only want to melt -- The stardust in your eyes! Star eyes -- when if ever will my lips know - If it’s for me for whom those eyes glow -- Makes no difference where you are -- Your eyes still hold my wishing star -- Oh, Star eyes -- How lovely you are!
2.	Velho Piano 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Ah! O amor muda tanto Parece que o encanto O cotidiano desfaz Feito um verso jogado num canto De um velho piano Que não toca mais E ele estende seu manto Feito um soberano E vem como um santo Mas parte profane Parece um cigano Não volta jamais Ah! O amor causa espanto O amor é o engano que traz Desengano por trás E no entanto Todo ser humano Por ele faz plano demais Erra demais Ai, é o amor, barco tonto Num vasto oceano De riso e de pranto De gozo e de dano E como é mundane Não pára no cais E quando quer paz É tarde demais
3.	Time After Time (Cyndie Lauper) 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, And think of you Caught up in circles Confusion is nothing new Flashback, warm nights Almost left behind Suitcases of memories, (Time after time) Sometimes you picture me I'm walking too far ahead You're calling to me, I can't hear What you've said (Then) you say, go slow I fall behind The second hand unwinds If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time After my picture fades and darkness has Turned to gray Watching through windows You're wondering if I'm okay Secrets stolen from deep inside The drum beats out of time (4 / 4 / 1 starting with time) If you're lost you can look and you will find me Time after time If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting Time after time
4.	High Trapeze (bill gables) 06:00	lyrics	buy track
I'm over here you're over there and all of the balance is hanging in air sailing above our destiny the arc of our love across the sky as far as our eyes can see high trapeze, high trapeze not a soul on earth can save us. Never for real never profound never a love I can believe in that's never been up off the ground the world gives us no guarantees High trapeze high trapeze may our love always stay dangerous high trapeze with a canopy to save us that don't count at all … that don't count at all I'm gonna be reaching for you I'm gonna be holding you tight No matter what else I may do I can never survive If I ever end up losing you The arc of our love … The arc of our love …the arc of our love across the sky as far as our eyes can see high trapeze, high trapeze not a soul on earth can save us. Never for real never profound never a love I can believe in that's never been up off the ground the world gives us no guarantees High trapeze high trapeze may our love always stay dangerous high trapeze with a canopy to save us Close your eyes make up your mind we're gonna see this thing through no matter how high we must climb no matter how far we could fall High trapeze
5.	Theme from Cinema Paradiso 04:50	lyrics	buy track
The memory of every yesterday Still lingers as I hear the siren say This is forever never be afraid No never fear That paradise you've lost is always near Forever, forever and a day The past is like a lover's kiss It never fades away Although I've travelled far from paradise The only world I'll ever recognize Will turn/live forever there is no beginning and no end The moment only dies to live again Forever, forever and a day The past is like a lover's kiss It never fades away...

7.	This Moment (Ambivalence by Vince Mendoza) 04:50	lyrics	buy track
In this moment now I feel I feel a thought that’s real As I look (at) All the things I always felt would matter more And now I see all The days gone by Just memories Today lives in this moment With the here and now And all our plans Will turn into our hopes and dreams And then I see them As they do become And then I see them From the place from where they came And then I see them As what they could be And then I know them From what they are showing me And then I see them And with all their pieces showing And I see my life Is a living thing growing.
8.	Universal Prisoner 03:01	lyrics	buy track
Most people go around thinking they’re free Believing it’s an easy way to be How many times are we told what to do Cause it’s right child, or wrong for you? In your youth did you grow and achieve? Or did you throw away the things you couldn’t believe? Do you run in guilt and in fear From all the things you truly hold dear? The Universal Prisoner makes his own laws The Universal Prisoner has no need for stars He can’t climb, He can’t grow, And worst of all, he doesn’t know. Do you share yourself and love what’s inside? Or do you run to the phony world where most people hide Are you honest like the lilies of the field you see Hey so ask yourself are you truly free? The Universal Prisoner makes his own laws The Universal Prisoner has no need for stars He can’t climb, He can’t grow, And worst of all, he doesn’t know.
9.	Compared To What 09:56	lyrics	buy track
I love to lie and lie to love A-Hangin' on, we push and shove Possession is the motivation that is hangin' up the God-damn nation Looks like we always end up in a rut (everybody now!) Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? C'mon baby! Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs Twisted children killin' frogs Poor dumb rednecks rollin' logs Tired old lady kissin' dogs I hate the human love of that stinking mutt (I can't use it!) Try to make it real — compared to what? C'mon baby now! The President, he's got his war Folks don't know just what it's for Nobody gives us rhyme or reason Half of one doubt, they call it treason We're chicken-feathers, all without one gut. God damn it! Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? (Sock it to me) Church on Sunday, sleep and nod Tryin' to duck the wrath of God Preacher's fillin' us with fright They all tryin' to teach us what they think is right They really got to be some kind of nut (I can't use it!) Tryin' to make it real — compared to what? Where's that bee and where's that honey? Where's my God and where's my money? Unreal values, class distortion Unwed mothers need abortion Kind of brings to mind ol' young King Tut (He did it now) Tried to make it real — compared to what?!
10.	Sleep In Peace (Cathy Segal-Garcia) 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Sleep in peace my baby To a lullabye While you sleep The troubles of your day Are far behind Got to sleep my darling Sothe away the frowns I will bring your fav’rite angel wings; Soft as a cloud And you may dream of a starry nite Where you will fly, far away Heavenly melodies Will sing to you this day Joyful the moment Eager is your heart Tender the treasure Lovingly you part Saddened is your heart To waken Now!
