Oh, my mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young
girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul
Why was I such a
young fool
Thought I'd make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul
I thought thought
that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul
Here I am waiting for
a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul
All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul.
CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU

Angelina Jordan (born Angelina Jordan Astar
on 10 January 2006) is a Norwegianchild singer whose audition for the 2014 season of Norway's Got Talentat the age of seven, singing "Gloomy Sunday"
in the style of Billie Holiday,
became a viral videoonline, and led to worldwide press coverage. She went on to win the
competition (at eight) with her performance of George Gershwin's
"Summertime". Since then she has worked to
raise millions of dollars on behalf of environmental causes and children's
charities around the world. She always performs barefoot, after befriending a
young shoeless girl while traveling when she was six years old. Jordan wrote a
book about the experience and became the youngest published author in Norway.
Jordan
has released multiple digital singles, two EPs, and one album called It's
Magic. She appeared on the first season of Little Big Shotsin 2016, and the second season of America's Got Talent: The Championsin 2020.
In August 2020, her manager (her uncle,
Michael Astar) announced that she has signed with Republic Records.
After Jordan's performances on Norway's
Got Talent went viral online, she was featured in Time,
Daily Mirror,
People,
and other news outlets around the world. She also realized a personal ambition
by performing for Peace Prizerecipients Malala
Yousafzaiand Kailash Satyarthiat the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
In September 2014, she performed "Fly
Me to the Moon" on the US television show The
View, bringing her wider fame in the United
States. She also performed on several TV 2programs in Norway over the next few years, including multiple
appearances on Allsang på Grensen (Singalong at the Border, referring to
the border fortress of Fredrikstenwhere outdoor concerts are held) and on TV4in Sweden.
Jordan had a small guest role in the final
episode of the Netflixseries Lilyhammer,
playing a girl who sings in a bar.
In April 2016, she performed "Fly Me to
the Moon" on the first season of the noncompetitive children's talent show
Little Big Shots.
A year later she performed "What a Difference a Day Makes" on
the UK version of the show.
In December 2016, she performed on Alan Walkeris Heading Home, a live
concert broadcast from Bergen, Norway, where she sang Walker's songs "Sing Me to Sleep"
and "Faded".
On 27 June 2018, Jordan performed "Fly
Me to the Moon" for Quincy Jonesin The O2 Arenain London, as part of his 85th birthday celebration, and also joined
with other singers to perform "Man
in the Mirror" to close the show.
In 2019, Jordan performed for former presidente
Barack Obamaand other public figures at the Brilliant Minds conference in
Stockholm.
In 2020, she competed in the second season of
America's Got Talent: The Champions. Her
first appearance on the show, singing an original arrangement of Queen's
"Bohemian Rhapsody",
received a "golden buzzer" from judge Heidi Klum(meaning that Jordan would pass directly into the finals). As with
her Norway's Got Talent audition six years earlier, a video of Jordan's
performance began to go viral, quickly reaching 10 million views on YouTube. The
performance also garnered praise from Queen's official Twitteraccount. Shortly afterwards, the video was taken downand Jordan
released a studio version of the same arrangement under her own copyright. Jordan's
second performance (in the finals), a similarly reworked "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road",
was also well received, but she did not make the top 5.
"Can't Help Falling in Love" is a
song recorded by American singer Elvis
Presleyfor the album Blue Hawaii(1961). It was written by Hugo Peretti,
Luigi Creatore,
and George
David Weissand published by Gladys Music, Inc. The
melody is based on "Plaisir
d'amour", a popular French love song composed
in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide
Martini. The song was initially written for a woman as "Can't
Help Falling in Love with Him", which explains the first and third line
ending on "in" and "sin" rather than words rhyming with
"you".
"Can't Help Falling in Love" was
featured in Presley's 1961 film Blue
Hawaii. During the following four decades, it has
been recorded by numerous other artists, including Bob Dylanon his 1973 album Dylan,
Tom Smothers,
Swedish pop group A-Teens, and the
British reggaegroup UB40, whose
1993 version topped the U.S.and UKcharts.

Tanto tiempo
disfrutamos de este amor
Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto así
Que yo guardo tu sabor
Pero tú llevas también, sabor a mí
Si negaras mi
presencia en tu vivir
Bastaría con abrazarte y conversar
Tanta vida yo te di
Que por fuerza tienes ya, sabor a mí
No pretendo ser tu
dueño
No soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida, doy lo bueno
Soy tan pobre, qué otra cosa puedo dar
Pasarán más de mil
años, muchos más
Yo no sé si tenga amor, la eternidad
Pero allá tal como aquí
En la boca llevarás, sabor a mí
No pretendo ser tu
dueño
No soy nada, yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida, doy lo bueno
Soy tan pobre, qué otra cosa puedo dar
Pasarán más de mil
años, muchos más
Yo no sé si tenga amor, la eternidad
Pero allá tal como aquí
En la boca llevarás, sabor a mí.

longs to hold on to the love they have shared.
The
song scratched the Top 40 on the Billboard
Hot 100, peaking only at number 40. It spent four months on the chart,
longer than almost all of Anka's other hits, including some of his
highest-charting songs. This was his last (and final Top 40 hit) of 53 charting
pop singles in the US to date. The song also spent three weeks
at number two on the US Adult Contemporary chart. It was blocked from the
number-one spot first by DeBarge's "All
This Love" and then by Rita Coolidge's "All Time High".
In Canada, the song failed to enter the pop
singles chart, however, reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart in
August 1983.
"Hold
Me 'Til the Morning Comes" was included on Anka's collaborative LP, A
Body of Work.
Two broken hearts
Neither one knows what to say
Both falling from love
But not quite all the way
Look at us now
Reachin' back for yesterday
Wanting to know
If the other wants to stay
After all
I'm the one who said we're through
Now I can't live without you, anymore
Out there lost
Is a dream that can come true
Is it worth the reachin' for?
Don't you need me anymore?
Darlin'
Hold me till the mornin' comes
Until I see you smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the mornin' sun
Let me stay we've just begun
Ooh, stay with you
Where shall we start?
A tender word that we can share
And if we believe
In time we will get there
Look at us now
Wanting more than words can say
Both falling in love
But this time all the way
Out there lost
Are the words: I still love you
Are they worth the reachin' for?
Do you love me anymore?
Darlin'
Hold me till the mornin' comes
Until I see you smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes (no more)
Hold me till the mornin' sun
Let me stay, we've just begun
I want to stay with you
Hold me till the
mornin' comes
Until I see you smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes (no more, no)
Hold me till the mornin' sun
Let me stay, we've just begun
I want to stay with you
Would you love me in
the mornin'? (Would you love me?)
Will you still be there in the mornin'? (Would you love me?)
Or would you leave without a warnin'?
Say you love me too (say you stay)
Would you love me in
the mornin'? (Would you love me?)
Will you still be there in the mornin'? (Would you love me?)
Or would you leave without a warnin'? (Don't go away)
