Siboney, yo te quiero
Yo me muero por tu amor;
Siboney en tu boca
La miel puso su dulzor;
Ven a mí que te quiero
Y que te adoro
Y qué eres para mí.
Siboney al arrullo
De la palma pienso en ti.
Siboney de mi sueño
Que no oyes la queja de mi voz
Siboney, si no vienes
Me moriré de amor.
Siboney de mi sueño
Te espero con ansia en mi caney
Porque tú eres el dueño
De mi amor Siboney.
Oye el eco de mi canto de cristal
No se pierda por entre el rudo manigual.

In the shadows
You get to know your lover mostly by feel
Got to put your faith in things you can touch
If you dare to
'Cause the shadows can make you crazy
With the things they reveal
They show it all without revealing too much
Scare the hell out of you
'Cause me and my love
Live among the shadows
Where the old playground is an alley way
Now me and my love make love among the shadows
When the sun goes down in a dark hallway
Love in the shadows where the crowd never goes
Deep in the shadows where flowers won't grow
Me and my baby know love in the shadows
In the shadows
You got to work at love to get it to shine
You can't believe in everything that you see
Not this time around
'Cause the shadows can play
A half a million tricks on your mind
You try your best but you can never break free
It just kind of drags you down
'Cause me and my love
Live among the shadows
Where the old playground is an alley way
Now me and my love make love among the shadows
When the sun goes down in a dark hallway
Love in the shadows where the sun never shines
Deep in the shadows where most men go blind
Me and my baby find love in the shadows.

You're the key to my
life...
Rain on the window
covers the trace
Of all the tears that I've had to waste
And now I'm missing you so
And I won't let you go away
Stain on the desktop where coffee cups lay
And memories of you forever will stay
And the scent of your perfume
And the smile on your face will remain...
And I never gave up hope when things got me down
But I just bit on my lip and my face began to frown
Cos that was just my pride and I've nothing else to hide
And now the way is clear and all I want to say is.
All of my life the doors have been closed now
And all of my dreams have been locked up inside
But you came along and captured my heart, girl
You're the key to my life
Yeah
Year after year, was blaming myself (blaming myself.)
For what I'd done, just thought of myself
I know that you'll understand (you'll understand...)
This was all my own fault, don't go away.
And I never gave up hope when things got me down
But I just bit on my lip
And my face began to frown
Cos that was just my pride and I've nothing left to hide
And now the way is clear and all I want to say is...
All of my life the
doors have been closed now
And all of my dreams have been locked up inside
But you came along and captured my heart, girl
You're the key to my life
Girl you know that I
feel for you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Stop the thunder and the pouring rain
You're the one that's going to stop the pain
Girl you know that I feel for you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Stop the thunder and the pouring rain
Listen to me can't you hear what I say...
All of my life the
doors have been closed now
And all of my dreams have been locked up inside
But you came along and captured my heart, girl
You're the key to my life.
LOVE ME FOR A REASON
THE OSMONDS
SONGWRITERS: BRISTOL JOHNNY WILLIAM & BROWN WADE
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: LOVE ME FOR REASON
LABEL: UNIVERSAL RECORDS
GENRE: POP MUSIC
YEAR: 1974
The Osmonds are an American family music
group who reached the height of their fame in the early to mid- 1970s.
Currently consisting of a duo of original members Merrill Osmondand Jay Osmond, the
group had its best-known configurations as a quartet (billed as the Osmond
Brothers) and a quintet (as the Osmonds). The group has comprised siblings who
are all members of a family of musicians from Ogden, Utahand have been in the public eye since the 1960s.
The Osmond Brothers began as a barbershop quartetconsisting of brothers Alan,
Wayne, Merrill
and Jay. They were later joined by younger siblings Donnyand Jimmy, both of
whom enjoyed success as solo artists. With the addition of Donny, the group
became known as the Osmonds; performing both as teen idolsand as a soft rockband,
their peak lasted from 1971 to 1975. Their only sister Marie, who
rarely sang with her brothers at that time, launched a successful career in
1973, both as a solo artist and as Donny's duet partner. By 1976, the band was
no longer producing hit singles; that year, they transitioned into television
with Donny &
Marie, a popular variety showthat ran
until 1979.
A revival of the original Osmond Brothers
lineup in the 1980s achieved moderate success in country music, and
both Donny and Marie separately made comebacks in their respective fields in
the late-1980s. The Osmonds have sold over 77 million records worldwide. The
quartet continued to perform through their 50th anniversary in 2007, at which
point Alan and later Wayne retired due to health issues; Jimmy was recruited
after Alan's retirement, with the group performing as a trio until Jimmy
suffered a stroke and retired in 2018. Alan's son David Osmond performed with the group in 2019.
On October 14, 2019, the original Osmond Brothers
quartet reunited for CBS' The Talkfor their sister Marie's
60th birthday, billed as the last appearance for the lineup. The brothers
performed "The Last Chapter," written as a farewell song and
introduced in 2018. Donny & Marie ended an 11-year Las Vegas residency on
November 16, 2019. Merrill and Jay continue to perform and tour, as does Donny
as a solo artist.
Love Me for a Reason is the sixth studio
album by The Osmonds,
released in 1974. The album peaked at Nº 47 on the Billboard Top LPschart. Two singles were released from the album: the title track
"Love Me for a
Reason" (Nº 1 UK, Nº 10 US) and "Having a
Party" (Nº 28 UK).
After a string of three albums (Phase III, Crazy
Horses and The Plan) in which the Osmonds performed mostly their own material
and focused on rock music, Love Me for a Reason consisted mostly of the work of
professional songwriters, most prominently H. B. Barnum,
who arrangedall of the songs on the album and co-wrote three. The title track in
particular was aimed at the easy listeningmarket, continuing a string of easy listening hits for the quintet
(it peaked at Nº 2 on the Billboard easy listening chart). The retrenchment,
reuniting with former producer Mike Curb,
and focus on pop was an effort to regain some popularity the group had lost in
1973, driven by brief but intense competition from The DeFranco
Family, Donny's voice changing, and the less
commercially friendly content of The Plan.
