    1. A Man And A Woman

      When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely night
      Then they must hold each other tight, oh, so very tight
      And take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light
      They'll stay together, so much in love

      And in the silence of a mist, of a morning mist
      When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be kissed
      Where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss
      That holds a promise of happiness?

      Though yesterday still surrounds you with a warm and
      precious memory
      Maybe for tomorrow we can build a new dream for you and me

      This glow we feel is something rare, something really rare
      So come and say you want to share, want to really share
      The beauty waiting for us there, calling for us there
      That only loving can give the heart

      When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night
      A man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night
      Must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light
      They'll be together, so much in love
      Together, so much in love

      So tell me

      You're not afraid to take a chance, really take a chance
      Let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance
      To the music of a glance, of a fleeting glance
      To the music of romance, of a new romance
      Take a chance

    2. The possibilty Of Life


    3. Aguas De Marco

      A stick, a stone,
      It's the end of the road,
      It's the rest of a stump,
      It's a little alone

      It's a sliver of glass,
      It is life, it's the sun,
      It is night, it is death,
      It's a trap, it's a gun

      The oak when it blooms,
      A fox in the brush,
      A knot in the wood,
      The song of a thrush

      The wood of the wind,
      A cliff, a fall,
      A scratch, a lump,
      It is nothing at all

      It's the wind blowing free,
      It's the end of the slope,
      It's a beam, it's a void,
      It's a hunch, it's a hope

      And the river bank talks
      of the waters of March,
      It's the end of the strain,
      The joy in your heart

      The foot, the ground,
      The flesh and the bone,
      The beat of the road,
      A slingshot's stone

      A fish, a flash,
      A silvery glow,
      A fight, a bet,
      The range of a bow

      The bed of the well,
      The end of the line,
      The dismay in the face,
      It's a loss, it's a find

      A spear, a spike,
      A point, a nail,
      A drip, a drop,
      The end of the tale

      A truckload of bricks
      in the soft morning light,
      The shot of a gun
      in the dead of the night

      A mile, a must,
      A thrust, a bump,
      It's a girl, it's a rhyme,
      It's a cold, it's the mumps

      The plan of the house,
      The body in bed,
      And the car that got stuck,
      It's the mud, it's the mud

      Afloat, adrift,

      A flight, a wing,
      A hawk, a quail,
      The promise of spring

      And the riverbank talks
      of the waters of March,
      It's the promise of life
      It's the joy in your heart

      A stick, a stone,
      It's the end of the road
      It's the rest of a stump,
      It's a little alone

      A snake, a stick,
      It is John, it is Joe,
      It's a thorn in your hand
      and a cut in your toe

      A point, a grain,
      A bee, a bite,
      A blink, a buzzard,
      A sudden stroke of night

      A pin, a needle,
      A sting, a pain,
      A snail, a riddle,
      A wasp, a stain

      A pass in the mountains,
      A horse and a mule,
      In the distance the shelves
      rode three shadows of blue

      And the riverbank talks
      of the waters of March,
      It's the promise of life
      in your heart, in your heart

      A stick, a stone,
      The end of the road,
      The rest of a stump,
      A lonesome road

      A sliver of glass,
      A life, the sun,
      A knife, a death,
      The end of the run

      And the riverbank talks
      of the waters of March,
      It's the end of all strain,
      It's the joy in your heart.

    4. Girl Talk

      'Cuz I told my home girl that he wasn't packin'
      Told the truth so I really don't give a damn
      That I spilled the beans on his little short stem man, oh
      Some of y'all be foolin' us
      Big feet, big hands, just plain big
      The sex ain't worth a damn
      We women wanna know these things
      If y'all got the bat but not the swang
      Put in work, if you don't want the girl to talk
      And you don't want your feelings hurt
      Put in work, 'cause if you don't
      That girl's just gon' go spreadin' the word
      Girls talkin' got ya all caught out there
      Why you thinkin' that it's all about ya?
      Forget she told me everything about ya
      But the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talk about the booty too
      About the way a brother is hangin' too
      Oh, when you didn't think that nobody knew
      You see the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Listen y'all need to know this
      That we'll straight up go tell your business
      So if you're gonna come, you better come with it
      If you ain't swingin' just put your tongue in it, oh
      Some of y'all be killin' me
      Thinkin' you got powers like Austin
      But you're more like Mini Me
      And when you finally get your blood flowin'
      It be lookin' like a pinkie with a glove on it
      Put in work, if you don't want the girl to talk
      And you don't want your feelings hurt
      Put in work, 'cause if you don't
      That girl's just gon' go spreadin' the word
      Girls talkin' got ya all caught out there
      Why you thinkin' that it's all about ya?
      Forget she told me everything about ya
      But the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talk about the booty too
      About the way a brother is hangin' too
      Oh, when you didn't think that nobody knew
      You see the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      What up, Papi, you think you got game?
      (Well, holla at me)
      I know you're feelin' like my sexual tame
      Can make ya happy
      You'll remember me, Left Eye TLC
      You got to lick it before you stick it and that's just me
      I be killin' 'em with the Gucci fits and kicks
      And you be hurtin' my ears with them lines so swift
      You get a new approach, your game's a joke
      Co-signin' from the sidelines, tryin' to poke
      I'm bigger than that, you're small talk, face the fact
      You wanna rock the boat a little, well earn your pass
      And it's the last call for alcohol, meet at the bar
      Me and my girls doin' it big, we pop stars, yeah
      Girls talkin' got ya all caught out there
      Why you thinkin' that it's all about ya?
      Forget she told me everything about ya
      But the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talk about the booty too
      About the way a brother is hangin' too
      Oh, when you didn't think that nobody knew
      You see the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talkin' got ya all caught out there
      Why you thinkin' that it's all about ya?
      Forget she told me everything about ya
      What the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talk about the booty too
      About the way a brother is hangin' too
      Oh, when you didn't think that nobody knew
      You see the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talkin' got ya all caught out there
      Why you thinkin' that it's all about ya?
      Forget she told me everything about ya
      But the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      Girls talk about the booty too
      About the way a brother is hangin' too
      Oh, when you didn't think that nobody knew
      You see the girls are talkin', the girls are talkin'
      'Cuz I told my home girl that he wasn't packin'
      Told the truth so I really don't give a damn

    6. Nice N Easy

      It's gonna be so easy for us to fall in love
      Hey baby, what's your hurry
      Relax and don't you worry we're gonna fall in love
      We're on the road to romance that's safe to say
      But let's make all the stops along the way
      And the problem now of course is to simply hold your horses
      To rush would be a crime
      'Cause nice and easy does it every time
      Baby, what's your hurry?
      Don't you worry
      Well now can't you see that

      We're on the road to romance that's safe to say?
      But let's make all the stops along the way
      And the problem now of course is to simply hold your horses
      To rush would be a crime
      Nice and easy does it, nice and easy does it
      Nice and easy does it every time
      Ooh, keep it right there, keep it nice and easy
      You know how to please me, nice and easy every time
      It's gonna be so easy for us to fall in love
      Hey baby, what's your hurry

    7. Send Rain


    8. Speak Low

      Our summer day withers away
      Too soon, too soon
      Speak low when you speak love
      Our moment is swift like ships adrift
      We're swept apart, too soon
      Speak low, darling, speak low
      Love is a spark, lost in the dark
      Too soon, too soon.
      I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near
      Tomorrow is here and always too soon
      Time is so old and love so brief
      Love is pure gold and time a thief
      We're late, darling, we're late
      The curtain descends, everything ends
      Too soon, too soon
      I wait, darling, I wait
      Will you speak low to me
      Speak love to me and soon
      I wait, darling, I wait
      Will you speak low to me, slow to me
      Oh please, just don't say no to me
      Let it flow to me, slow to me
      Soon, soon, soon, soon
      Darling, speak low to me
      Darling, speak slow to me
