(LYRICS)

Smooth

(I. Shur, R.Thomas)

Man it's a hot one

Like seven inches from the midday sun

I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone

But you stay so cool

My Muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa

You're my reason for reason

The step in my groove

And if you said this life ain't good enough

I would give my world to lift you up

I could change my life to better suit your mood

'Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon

Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you

You got the kind of lovin that could be so smooth

Give me your heart make it real

Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing

If you would leave it be a crying shame

In every breath and every word

I hear your name calling me out

Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on your radio

You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow

Turning you round and round

Maria Maria

(W. Jean, J. Duplessis, C. Santana, K. Perazzo, R. Rekow)

Maria Maria

She reminds me of a west side story

Growing up in Spanish Harlem

She's living the life just like a movie star

Maria Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.

To the sounds of a guitar,

Yeah, yeah,

Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the looting, stop the shooting

Pick pocking on the corner

See as the rich is getting richer

The poor is getting poorer

Se mira Maria on the corner

Thinking of ways to make it better

In my mailbox there's an eviction letter

Somebody just said see you later

Ahora venga mama chola

Mama chola

I said a la favella los colores

The streets are getting hotter

There is no water

To put out the fire

Mi canto la esperanza

Se mira Maria on the corner

Thinking of ways to make it better

Then I looked up in the sky

Hoping of days of paradise

Ahora venga mama chola

Mama chola

Maria you know you're my lover

When the wind blows I can feel you

Through the weather and even when we're apart

It feels like we're together

Corazon Espinado

(F. Olvera)

Esa mujer me esta matando

Me a espinado el corazon

Por mas que trato de olvidarla

Mi alma no da razon

Mi corazon aplastado

Molido y abandonado

A ver a ver tu sabes dime mi

Amor por favor

Que dolor nos quedo

Ah ah ah corazon espinado

Ah ah ah come duele el amor

Como duele como duele el corazon

Cuando nostiene entregados

Pero no olvides mujer que algun dia diras

Hay ya yay come me duele el amor

Como me duele el olvido

Como duele el corazon

Como me duele estar vivo

Sin tenerte aun lado amor

Corazon espinado

Love of My Life

(D. Matthews, C. Santana)

Where you are that's where I wanna be

And through your eyes,

All the things I wanna see

And in the night

You are my dream

You're everything to me

You're the love of my life

And the breath in my prayers

Take my hand, lead me there

What I need is you there

I can't forget the taste of your mouth

From your lips

The heavens pour out

I can't forget when we are one

With you alone, I am free

Every day, every night, you alone

You're the love of my life

Every day, every night

You're the love of my life

We go dancing in the moonlight

With the starlight in your eyes

We go dancing till the sunrise

You and me we're gonna dance,

dance, dance

(inspired by Johannes Brahms)

Put Your Lights On

(E. Schrody)

Hey now, all you sinners

Put your lights on,

Put your lights on

Hey now, all you lovers

Put your lights on,

Put your lights on

Hey now, all you killers

Put your lights on

Put your lights on

Hey now, all you children

Leave your lights on, you better

leave your lights on

Because there's a monster

Living under my bed

Whispering in my ear

There's an angel

With a hand on my head

She says I've got nothing to fear

There's a darkness

Deep in my soul

I still got a purpose to serve

So let your light shine

into my home

God don't let me lose my nerve

Lose my nerve

Hey now, hey now

hey now, hey now

Wo-oh hey now, hey now

hey now, hey now

Hey now all you sinners

Put your lights on,

put your lights on

Hey now, all you children

Leave your lights on

Better leave your lights on

Because there's a monster

Living under my bed

Whispering in my ear

There's an angel

With a hand on my head

She says I've got nothing to fear

She says, Whooo-ahha hey

Lala, you shine like stars

And fade away

Oye Como Va

(Tito Puente)

Mi Ritmo

Mulata

Everybody's Everything

(Carlos Santana, Tyrone Moss, Milton Brown)

Seems like ev'rybody's waiting for the

new change to come around

Waiting for the day

when the king and queen of soul sing around

singing 'around singin' around, singin' around

Singin' around for ev'ryone

You can understand ev'rything's to share

Let your spirit dance

Brothers ev'rywhere

Let your head be free

Turn the wisdom key

See you're lucky to be

Dig this sound

It's been 'round and 'round and 'round

Get out your cold feet, baby

Somethin' on your back

Lay it down

Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down

Don't you know honey maybe

your light might shine this whole town

this whole town, this whole town

Singin' around

Time for you to all get down

You gotta do it

Get ready, Uh!

Get ready, Uh!

Dig this sound

It's been around and 'round and 'round

You gotta do it

You can understand

Ev'rything's to share

Let your spirit dance

Brothers ev'rywhere

Let your head be free

Turn the wisdom key

Find it nat'rally

See you're lucky to be

Singin' around

Time for you to all get down

Get ready, Uh!

Get ready, Uh!

Evil Ways

(S. Henry)

You've got to change your evil ways, baby

Before I stop lovin' you

You've got to change, baby

And every word that I say is true

You've got me runnin' and hidin'

All over town

You've got me sneakin' and a peepin'

And runnin' you down

This can't go on

Lord knows you've got to change

Baby, baby

When I come home, baby

My house is dark and my pots are cold

You're hanging around, baby

With Jean and Joan and a who knows who

I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around

I'll find somebody who won't

Make me feel like a clown

This can't go on

Lord knows you've got to change

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
