Disco Medley 1

How ya doin' Houston, Texas?

 First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights just thinking
how you did me wrong, and I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now you're back from outer space
Don't turn around, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die
Now go now go, walk out the door
Don't turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down die
Oh no not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give
I will survive, I will survive...hey, hey, hey
Todos de pie, vamonos!
Todo el mundo...eso!		 Everybody stand up! Let's go!
Everybody! That's it!
Talk about it, talk about it,
talk about it, talk about it
Talk about it, talk about it, talk about movin'
Gotta move on (3x)

 Won't you take me to Funky Town? (4x)

Let me hear you Houston, Texas, México!

Where Did the Feeling Go?

All alone, nothing to do
It's lonely here without you
The candlelight is burning low
The love songs on the radio
and memories are all I have to show

 Photographs, tickets for two
Promises that all fell through
Now everything's in black and white
The colors faded with the night
The stars we used to wish upon
have somehow lost their light

 Where is the feeling we used to know?
Where is the music that played?
What happened to the love that used to show?
Where did the feeling go?

 Thoughts of you fill my mind
Paperbacks to pass the time
And as I lie awake tonight
I'll leave the porch light burning bright
and miss the loving arms
that used to hold me tight

Disco Medley 2

Last chance, last chance for love
Yes, it's my last chance for romance tonight
I need you by me, beside me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad, I'm so, so bad
So let's dance the last dance
So let's dance the last dance
So let's dance the last dance tonight

 Last dance, last dance for love
Yes, it's my last chance for romance tonight
I need you by me, beside me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
'Cause when I'm bad, I'm so, so bad
So let's dance the last dance
So let's dance the last dance
So let's dance the last dance tonight

 Do the Hustle!

 Break it down, let me hear some gritos
Someone found the letter you wrote me on the radio
And it said exactly how you felt
It must've fallen out of the hole
in your old brown overcoat
It never said your name but I knew who they meant
I was so surprised and shocked and I wondered too
If by chance you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh, on the radio
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh, on the radio
On the radio!

Is It the Beat?

 I know you've taken my lead
Am I so easy to read?
My eyes must be speaking your name
My touch must burn like a flame
I believe that love doesn't come when you plan
Here I am, caught up in these feelings
I don't understand

 Is it the beat or the beat of your heart?
Is it the music, is it body talk?
How did you move me and when did it start,
Is it the beat or the beat of your heart?

 Night falls and I seem to change
Near you, I'm acting so strange
I know we've only just met
But dreaming has gone to my head
You and I see nobody else in the place
Let your smile answer this question
you read on my face
 
 
Sabes que te quiero y sin ti me desespero
Eres tu mi todo, y yo sin ti me muero
Eres mi alegria en cada despertar
Y quiero a tu lado, yo poder estar		 You know that I love you and without you I'm desperate
You are my everything, and I'd die without you
You're my happiness every time I wake up
And I want to be by your side

Only Love

 I see the distant lights ahead
Another hour or so, and I'll be back in bed
I guess I really thought
that I was gone for good
But you know I never could

 I count the headlights passing by
With every one I find
another reason why
You'll be sound asleep
And I'll look a fool
How could I be so cruel?

 Only love could make me turn around
and make these tears come tumbling down
Only love
Only love could make you stay with me
I doubt myself but you believe
Only love

 I wish that I could be that strong
To see me as I am,
and love me right or wrong
I guess I'm still afraid
to only say goodbye
So I keep it all inside
Only love...
[Chorus]

 So I try to run, but no matter what I do
I know it's true: I can't go on without you
Only love...

Oldies Medley

Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

 You're mine, and we belong together
Yes, we belong together for eternity (eternity)
You're mine; your lips belong to me
Yes, they belong to me, to only me
For eternity, etern, eternity
You're my, my, my baby, and you'll always be (you'll always be)
I love you so much (my love to you)
I'll give you everything, (everything)
Everything I own
You'll always, always be mine
You're mine and we belong together
Yes, we belong together for eternity, etern, eternity

 (Repeat above)

 Blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then it suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon...

Dreaming of You

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
thinking of me too

 Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room dreaming about you and me

 Wonder if you ever see me and I
wonder if you know I'm there (am I there, am I?)
If you looked in my eyes would you see what's inside
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close but so far
all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day (wait for the day)
to take the courage to say how much I love you
Yes I do

 I'll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room dreaming about you and me
 
 
Corazón
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
Como te necesito
Mi amor, como te extraño		 Sweetheart
I can't stop thinking of you
How I need you
My love, how I miss you
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
that you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too

 Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow (till tomorrow) and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
than here in my room
Dreaming with you endlessly

I Could Fall in Love

 I could lose my heart tonight,
if you don't turn and walk away
Cause the way I feel I might
lose control and let you stay
Cause I could take you in my arms,
And never let you go
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

 I could only wonder how
touching you would make you feel
But if I take that chance right now,
tomorrow will you want me still?
(Baby will you want me?)
So I should keep this to myself,
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
(I could fall in love with you)
I could fall in love with you

 And I know it's not right,
and I guess I should try
to do what I should do
But I could fall in love,
fall in love, with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy soñando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome, con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podría amar a ti		 I'm always dreaming of you
kissing my lips, caressing my skin
Hugging me with crazy longings
Imagining that you love me
The way that I could love you

So I should keep this to myself,
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love, (fall in love)
I could fall in love, (fall in love) with you
I could fall in love with you.

Cumbia Medley

 Como la flor, con tanto amor
me diste tú, se marchitó
Me marcho hoy
Yo sé perder
Pero, ay, cómo me duele

 Eso!.. todo el mundo
Yo sé que tienes un nuevo amor
Sin embargo, te deseo lo mejor
Si en mí, no encontraste felicidad
tal vez alguien más te la dará

 Como la flor, (como la flor)
con tanto amor, (con tanto amor)
me diste tú, se marchitó
Me marcho hoy, (hoy)
Yo sé perder
Pero, ay, cómo me duele
Manos arriba, todo el mundo!
Ay, cómo me duele

 Cuenta!
Cuatro! Tres! Dos! Uno!
Que humareda que nos tiene ahogando
La gente se pregunta, nadie sabe qué es
Un carro viejo que viene pitando
con llantas de triciclo y el motor al revés
En la esquina yo esperando
como siempre su novia fiel
Mis amigas se están burlando
Murmuran cosas de él
Vamonos!

 Carcacha, paso a pasito
No dejes de tambalear
Carcacha, poco a poquito
No nos vayas a dejar
Carcacha, paso a pasito
No dejes de tambalear
Carcacha, poco a poquito
No nos vayas a dejar

 Yeah, yeah
Hey hey hey, yeah
Bidi bidi bom bom
Bidi bidi bom bom
Bidi bidi bidi bidi bom bom Bidi bidi bidi bidi bom
Cada vez, cada vez que lo veo pasar
Mi corazón se enloquece, (se enloquece)
Y me empieza a palpitar
Bidi bidi bom bom, ooh
Y se emociona, (se emociona), ya no razona
No lo puedo controlar
Bidi bidi bom bom, ooh
Y se emociona, (se emociona), ya no razona
Y me empieza a cantar, (cantar)
Me canta así, así:

 Bidi bidi bom bom
Bidi bidi bom bom
Bidi bidi bidi bidi bidi bom bom
Bidi bidi bidi bidi bidi

 Oh, me canta así, me canta a ti
Cada vez que lo veo pasar
Mi corazón se enloquece
Cada vez que lo veo pasar
Y me empieza a plapitar
Así, así
Oh yeah, all right, oh yeah
All right, oh yeah, oh no no no...

 Saborcito!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
Siento algo que me mueve
Un ritmo que me hace bailar
Tomen todos su pareja
Todos vamos a gozar
Baila, baila esta cumbia
Mueve, mueve la cintura
Todas las manos en alto
Y griten, griten con locura
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...

 Baila, baila esta cumbia
Ritmo, ritmo sin igual
Nadie se quede sentado
Todos vamos a bailar

 Saborcito!
Baila, baila, baila, baila
Baila, baila, baila, baila

Vivirás Selena

 Era aquella rosa cortada antes del abrir
Una larga vida robada antes de vivir
Fue como paloma que no alcanzo a volar
Era aquella luz que alumbró el camino
de nuestra música

 Es ella como el día que no pudo amanecer
Es ella como niña y apenas fue mujer
Es como una estrella que siempre brillará
Era aquella luz que alumbró el camino
de nuestra música

 Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
Vivirás siempre Selena
Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
en el corazón
Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
en nuestras vidas
Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
Siempre Selena

 Es ella como el día que no pudo amanecer
Es ella como niña y apenas fue mujer
Es como una estrella que siempre brillara
Era aquella luz que alumbró el camino
de nuestra música

 Era puente entre la gente
Ella con su canción
Era puente entre la gente
Ella con su pasión
Era una esperanza
que nunca realizó
Era nuestra reina (era nuestra reina),
Era nuestra hija (era nuestra hija),
Era nuestro amor (nuestro amor)

 Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
Vivirás siempre Selena
Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
en el corazón, (corazón)
Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
en nuestras vidas
Vivirás, vivirás, vivirás
Siempre Selena...
siempre... tú... vivirás Selena...

One More Time

 Never had time for the celebration
Singing like a woman when you're six years old
Never got to dance at the graduation
Didn't want it, didn't need it, she was on the road

 No letters from home
We just kept moving on
We were all alone
Together

 So many miles, so many places
Music pulling like an undertoe
Leaving smiles on all the faces
They were living the songs she wrote

 Simple stops along the way
No one knows the price we paid
For the dream
For the dream

 People came from everywhere
And they all wait for her
to sing her songs
One more time

 So many miles, so many places
Music pulling like an undertoe
Leaving smiles on all the faces
They were living the songs she wrote

 Simple stops along the way
No one knows the price we paid
For the dream
For the dream

 People came from everywhere
And they all wait for her
to sing her songs
One more time

And forever in my mind
This will always be
She was the world for me

 I no longer weep for her
All that's left is a need
for her to sing her songs
One more time

 What I wouldn't do
to hear her sing her songs
One more time
One more time

 If I could only hear her sing
One more time

 What I wouldn't do
What I wouldn't give to hear her sing
one more time
