You'll find that each and every day
Love comes in such a special way
So each moment notice life
And then you'll see that
Any little moment
Love can come to you (each ) today

 

Love can come
Without a moment's notice
When it does then you must give it room
Letting it breathe and grow and flower
Knowing you're the lucky one of the hour

You can never know what lies before you
So be open to what comes your way
And every moment notice life
And maybe then you'll notice that
Without a moment's notice
Love will come to you today

 

The Wonder of Life

(S. Smith/music; P Smith/lyrics BMI
© 1990 Shala Music (Ascap)

 

The wonder we call life we take for granted.
We hardly ever wonder why we're here,
Rehearsing for a play we've yet to see,
Forgetting that our life is now.

 

We waste the precious time we have complaining,
Or proving to someone how right we are.
How lovely is the mind that's clear and free
To see the wonder that is life!

 

The wonder that is life is all around us.
We see it in all things green and in the stars above.
We hear it in the music of a songbird,
The smell of a rose,
The taste of fresh bread.

 

CODA

 

We hear it in the laughter of a baby,
The sound of a violin, the crash a cymbal makes.
We feel it in the presence of a loved one,
The wonder is in each breath that we take.

 

Everyday's a New Day
(S. Smith) c 1985 Shala Music (Ascap)

 

Everyday's a new day when I'm with you.
My life has changed 'cause I've rearranged what I need to.
No need to sigh or wonder why things will happen as they do,
'Cause life now has more meaning than it used to.
And everyday's a new day when I'm with you.
And everyway's a new way.

 

When you smile, your face lights up so clear.
And your voice has the sound I like to hear.
You give your love to me so completely, yeah.
I want to thank you for giving it so sweetly.
Now everyday's a new day when I'm with you.
And everyway's a new way, it's true.

 

Life is so short.
We've no time to lose.
Let's catch all the love,
And throw out the blues.

 

We're spending all our days here together.
And each and every day in every way, it's a pleasure,
To sit right down beside you, just we two.
I'm so thankful that life has brought me you.
'Cause everyday's a new day when I'm with you.
And everyway's a new way.

 

Coda

 

And everyway's a new way.
Everyway's a new way
Everyday's a new day, it's true.

Love is the thing we're all searching for,
I found it with you,
Who could ask for anything more?

Eu Me Lembro Jorge Ben

Fomos la, ate o Rio de Janeiro
P'ra tocar e conhecer.
Fomos la, para escutar
Os cantores Brasileiros.

 

A-la, a-la-la, o-ah, di-zoo-ma

A-la-la, o-ah, di-zoo-ma
Eu me lembro Jorge, Jorge Ben.

 

Uma joia o apartamento nosso.
Ficou pertinho do mar
As manhas p'ra o portugues,
E as noites p'ra tocar.

 

A-la, a-la-la, o-ah, di-zoo-ma
A-la-la, o-ah, di-zoo-ma
Eu me lembro Jorge, Jorge Ben.

 

Escutavamos sempre o que dava no ar
Pelas ondas do radio, o gostoso cantar.
Jorge cantou da nega em "Que Nega Essa",
Sua coisa tao simples como o pao no jantar.

Dissem que Jorge nao procurava
O estilo no violao que estava comun.

 

E entao, ele fez o seu proprio
Com um jingo bem legal,
Com um estilo original,
E e porque me lembro Jorge.

Your own sweet way,
Is what I feel in you each day,
Is what I feel in what we play,
Your own sweet way.

 

The you in me,
The me in you,
The us in we,
The mind we share that lets us be:
Our own sweet way.

 

In life they say each has his way.
Each has a melody,
The you, the me.

 

And so I say,
In all you are, in all you do,
Forever to thyself be true
In your own way.

 

To See You Again, Brasil

(S. Smith/music; P Smith/lyrics BMI)
© 1990 Shala Music (Ascap)

 

Once you've been to Brazil they say,
You will always await the day
When your luck takes you back to Brazil to stay.
When we went there, I felt deep down
What I missed in my own home town
Combinations of black, yellow, white and brown.

Brazil, when will we see you again?
Brazil, when will that day arrive?
Brasil quando lhe vamos a ver,
Brasil, o dia chegara?

Brazil, when will we see you again?
When will our feet touch that place where the samba was born?
Capoeira que vem, Maracatu, o pagode tambem,
O berimbau, sao as coisas que tem.

 

Brasil, quando voltamas por la?
Brasil, quando sera entao?
Brazil, when will we see you again?
Brazil, when will that day arrive?

 

The Willie Bobo Experience

(S. Smith/music; P Smith/lyrics BMI)
© 1993 Shala Music (Ascap)

That great timbale man, Willie Bobo,
He grooved hard as one can, Willie Bobo.

Jazz and Boogaloo,
Cha-Cha oolyacoo,
Funky Babalu,
He knew what to do.

 

He named this little song,
"The Experience",
The groove, also the jive were his elements.

Jazz and Boogaloo,
Cha-Cha oolyacoo,
Funky Babalu,
He knew what to do.

 

No

(S. Smith/music; B Villalobos /lyrics)

No quiero seguir siendo raiz en las tinieblas,
Vacilante, extendido, tiritando de sueno.
Hacia abajo, en las visceras mojadas de la tierra,
Chupando y pensando, caminando cada dia.
