A House Is Not A Home
by Luther Vandross I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' there When I climb the stairs and turn the key
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home Oh, please be there, still in love
When there's no one there to hold you tight I said still in love
And no one there you can kiss goodnight Still in love with me, yeah
Whoa, ohh, girl Are you gonna be in love with me?
A room is still a room, oh, even when there's nothin' there but gloom I want you and need you to be, yeah
But a room is not a house and a house is not a home Still in love with me
When the two of us are far apart Say you're gonna be in love with me
And one of us has a broken heart It's drivin' me crazy to think that my baby
Now and then I call your name Couldn't be still in love with me
And suddenly your face appears Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
But it's just a crazy game Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
When it ends, it ends in tears Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Pretty little darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart Well, well, well, well
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home Still in love, so in love, still in love with me?
When I climb the stairs and turn the key Are you gonna be
Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me, yeah Say that you're gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah
With me, ohh
Still in love with me, yeah

Ain't No Mouintain High Enough
by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
Listen baby, ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me call me, no matter where you are
No matter how far, don't worry, baby
Just call my name, I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, somehow
'Cause, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Oh no, darling
No wind, no rain
Or winter's cold can stop me, baby, na na, baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh, baby, ha
My love is alive (woo)
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Call and Response
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Don'tcha know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
School Days
by Chuck Berry
Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
American history and practical math
You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom, open your books
Keep up the teacher, don't know how mean she looks Round and round and round you go
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint, you go in
Betcha by Golly Wow
by The Stylistics
There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near you
You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise
And betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
If I could I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I'll know where you are
Order rainbows in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of you
Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask I'll try, 'cause
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin'

Drop the coin right into the slot
You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long you been wantin' to dance
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round you go
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long you been wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul
 Call Me Maybe
by Carly Rae Jepsen
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
At first sight, and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way
Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad, I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
(Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad)
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad, I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me maybe

The Girl From Ipanema Para Sa Akin
by Astrud Gilberto by Sitti Navarro
Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça Kung ika'y magiging akin
É ela, a menina que vem e que passa 'Di ka na muling luluha pa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar Pangakong 'di ka lolokohin
Moça do corpo dourado, do sol de Ipanema Ng puso kong nagmamahal
O seu balançado é mais que um poema Kung ako ay papalarin
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar Na ako'y iyong mahal na rin
Ah, por que estou tão sozinho? Pangakong ikaw lang ang iibigin
Ah, por que tudo é tão triste? Magpakailanman
Ah, a beleza que existe 'Di kita pipilitin
A beleza que não é só minha Sundin mo pa'ng iyong damdamin
Que também passa sozinha Hayaan na lang tumibok ang puso mo
Ah, se ela soubesse que quando ela passa Para sa akin
O mundo sorrindo se enche de graça Kung ako ay mamalasin
E fica mais lindo por causa do amor At mayro'n ka nang ibang mahal
Tall and tan and young and lovely Ngunit patuloy ang aking pag-ibig
The girl from Ipanema goes walking Magpakailanman
And when she passes, each one she passes goes 'Di kita pipilitin
"Ah!" Sundin mo pa'ng iyong damdamin
When she walks, she's like a samba Hayaan na lang tumibok ang puso mo
That swings so cool and sways so gently Para sa akin
That when she passes, each one she passes goes Kung ako ay papalarin
"Ah!" Na ako'y iyong mahal na rin
Oh, but he watch her so sadly Pangakong ikaw lang ang iibigin
How can he tell her he loves her? Magpakailanman
Yes, he would give his heart gladly 'Di kita pipilitin
But each day, when she walks to the sea Sundin mo pa'ng iyong damdamin
She looks straight ahead, not at him Hayaan na lang tumibok ang puso mo
Tall and tan and young and lovely Para sa akin
The girl from Ipanema goes walking 'Di kita pipilitin
And when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn't see Sundin mo pa'ng iyong damdamin
Oh, but he sees her so sadly Hayaan na lang tumibok ang puso mo
How can he tell her he loves her? Para sa akin
Yes, he would give his heart gladly Para sa akin
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see

One Day Both Sides Now
by Bob Marley by Joni Mitchell
Sometimes I lay Rows and flows of angel hair
Under the moon And ice cream castles in the air
And thank God I'm breathing And feather canyons everywhere
Then I pray Looked at clouds that way
Don't take me soon But now they only block the sun
'Cause I am here for a reason They rain and they snow on everyone
Sometimes in my tears I drown
So many things I would have done
But I never let it get me down
But clouds got in my way
So when negativity surrounds
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
I know some day it'll all turn around because...
From up and down and still somehow
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for It's cloud illusions I recall
For the people to say I really don't know clouds at all
That we don't wanna fight no more Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
There will be no more wars The dizzy dancing way that you feel
And our children will play As every fairy tale comes real
One day [6x] I've looked at love that way
It's not about But now it's just another show
Win or lose And you leave 'em laughing when you go
'Cause we all lose And if you care, don't let them know
When they feed on the souls of the innocent Don't give yourself away
Blood-drenched pavement I've looked at love from both sides now
Keep on moving though the waters stay raging From give and take and still somehow
In this maze you can lose your way (your way) It's love's illusions that I recall
It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you,
I really don't know love
no way (no way)
Really don't know love at all
Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown)
Tears and fears and feeling proud
But I never let it get me down (get me down)
To say, "I love you" right out loud
So when negativity surrounds (surrounds)
I know some day it'll all turn around because... Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
All my life I've been waiting for I've looked at life that way
I've been praying for Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange
For the people to say And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
That we don't wanna fight no more Well something's lost, but something's gained
There will be no more wars In living every day
And our children will play I've looked at life from both sides now
One day [6x] From win and lose and still somehow
One day this all will change It's life's illusions I recall
Treat people the same I really don't know life at all
Stop with the violence It's life's illusions that I recall
Down with the hate I really don't know life
One day we'll all be free I really don't know life at all
And proud to be
Under the same sun
Singing songs of freedom like
One day [4x]
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There will be no more wars
And our children will play
One day [6x]

Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
by Simon & Garfunkel Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone, going home
I am just a poor boy Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Though my story's seldom told Leading me, going home
I have squandered my resistance In the clearing stands a boxer
For a pocketful of mumbles And a fighter by his trade
Such are promises And he carries the reminders
All lies and jest Of every glove that laid him down
Still a man hears what he wants to hear Or cut him till he cried out
And disregards the rest In his anger and his shame
When I left my home and my family "I am leaving, I am leaving"
I was no more than a boy But the fighter still remains
In the company of strangers Lie-la-lie
In the quiet of the railway station Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Running scared Lie-la-lie
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
Where the ragged people go Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

The Sound Of Silence Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

by Simon & Garfunkel Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Lie-la-lie
Lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-lie
I love you
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"
 Morning Has Broken
by Cat Stevens
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Blowin' In The Wind
by Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

You're Still The One I Will Always Love You
by Shania Twain by Dolly Parton
Hmm yeah eh eh
Looks like we made it If I should stay
Look how far we've come, my baby Well I would only be in your way
We mighta took the long way And so I'll go, and yet I know
We knew we'd get there someday I'll think of you each step of the way

But just look at us holding on I will always love you
We're still together, still going strong Bitter-sweet memories
Mm (you're still the one) That's all I'm taking with me
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
You're still the one I run to Good-bye, please don't cry
But just look at us holding on

You're still the one I kiss goodnight
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
 Love Story Islands In The Stream
by Taylor Swift by Kenny Roger and Dolly Parton
We were both young when I first saw you Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I close my eyes and the flashback starts I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I'm standin' there I was soft inside
On a balcony in summer air There was something going on
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns You do something to me that I can't explain
See you make your way through the crowd Hold me closer and I feel no pain
And say, "Hello" Every beat of my heart
Little did I know We got something going on
That you were Romeo, you were throwin' pebbles Tender love is blind
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" It requires a dedication
And I was cryin' on the staircase All this love we feel needs no conversation
Beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said We ride it together, ah ha
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone Making love with each other, ah ha
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run Islands in the stream
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess That is what we are
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" No one in between
So I sneak out to the garden to see you How can we be wrong?
We keep quiet, 'cause we're dead if they knew Sail away with me
So close your eyes To another world
Escape this town for a little while, oh oh And we rely on each other, ah ha
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter From one lover to another, ah ha
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" I can't live without you if the love was gone
But you were everything to me Everything is nothing if you got no one
I was beggin' you, "Please don't go, " and I said And you did walk in the night
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone Slowly losing sight of the real thing
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess Too deep in love and we got no way out
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" And the message is clear
Romeo, save me, they're tryna tell me how to feel This could be the year for the real thing
This love is difficult, but it's real No more will you cry
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess Baby, I will hurt you never
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" We start and end as one
Oh, oh In love forever
I got tired of waiting We can ride it together, ah ha
Wonderin' if you were ever comin' around Making love with each other, ah ha
My faith in you was fading Islands in the stream
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said That is what we are
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone No one in between
I keep waiting for you, but you never come How can we be wrong?
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think Sail away with me
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring To another world
And said, "Marry me, Juliet And we rely on each other, ah ha
You'll never have to be alone From one lover to another, ah ha
I love you and that's all I really know Sail away
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress Oh, come sail away with me
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes" Islands in the stream
Oh, oh, oh That is what we are
Oh, oh, oh, oh No one in between
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
Ballad American Pie
by Don McLean
A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So, bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Did you write the Book of Love?
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock 'n' roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin', "Bye-bye Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Helter Skelter in the summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and fallin' fast
It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
Oh, and there we were, all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets, the children screamed
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
And Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die"
They were singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie"
Drove my Chevy to The Levee, but The Levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that I die"
Standard
My Way
by Frank Sinatra
And now the end is here
And so I face that final curtain
My friend I'll make it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more
I did it, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much, much more
I did it, I did it my way
Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself then he has naught
Not to say the things that he truly feels
And not the words of someone who kneels
Let the record shows I took all the blows and did it my way
Love Story
by Andy Williams
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start
With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand, it's always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away
And she'll be there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her 'til the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

Born Free People

by Matt Monro by Barbra Streisand
Born free, as free as the wind blows People
As free as the grass grows People who need people
Born free to follow your heart Are the luckiest people in the world
Live free and beauty surrounds you We're children, needing other children
The world still astounds you And yet letting a grown-up pride
Each time you look at a star Hide all the need inside
Stay free where no walls divide you Acting more like children than children
You're free as the roaring tide Lovers, are very special people
So there's no need to hide They're the luckiest people in the world
Born free and life is worth living With one person
But only worth living One very special person
'Cause you're born free A feeling deep in your soul
Stay free where no walls divide you Says you were half now you're whole
You're free as the roaring tide No more hunger and thirst
So there's no need to hide But first be a person who needs people
Born free and life is worth living People who need people
But only worth living Are the luckiest people in the world
'Cause you're born free With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half, now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
 Somewhere
by Barbra Streisand
Could be, who knows?
There's something due any day
I will know right away soon as it shows
It may come cannonballing down through the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, coming to me
Could it be? Yes, it could
Something's coming, something good
If I can wait
Something's coming and I don't know
What it is but it is gonna be great
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock
Open the latch
Something's coming, don't know when
But it's soon, catch the moon
One handed catch
Around the corner
Or whistling down the river
Come on, deliver to me
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holding still
It'll be there
Come on, something, come on in
Don't be shy, meet a guy
Pull up a chair
The air is humming
And something great is coming
I feel that (incomprehensible)
And something great is coming
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight
Maybe tonight
Tell Him
by Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion
I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak?
Ooh, what if
There's another one he's thinking of?
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Touch him (ooh)
With the gentleness you feel inside (I feel it)
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be
All in time you'll see
Ooh, I love him (then show him)
Of that much I can be sure (hold him close to you)
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself, ooh
Never let him go

by The Beatles In My Life

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
by The Beatles
Oh, I believe in yesterday. There are places I'll remember
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be. All my life though some have changed
There's a shadow hanging over me. Some forever not for better
Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Some have gone and some remain
Why she had to go? All these places had their moments
I don't know, she wouldn't say. With lovers and friends I still can recall
I said something wrong. Some are dead and some are living
Now I long for yesterday. In my life I've loved them all
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play. But of all these friends and lovers
Now I need a place to hide away. There is no one compares with you
Oh, I believe in yesterday. And these memories lose their meaning
Why she had to go? When I think of love as something new
I don't know, she wouldn't say. Though I know I'll never lose affection
I said something wrong. For people and things that went before
Now I long for yesterday. I know I'll often stop and think about them
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play. In my life I love you more
Now I need a place to hide away. Though I know I'll never lose affection
Oh, I believe in yesterday. For people and things that went before
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm. I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
 Let It Be Hey Jude
by The Beatles by The Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be Take a sad song and make it better.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me Remember to let her into your heart,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be Then you can start to make it better.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be You were made to go out and get her.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree The minute you let her under your skin,
There will be an answer, let it be Then you begin to make it better.
For though they may be parted, And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
there is still a chance that they will see Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
There will be an answer, let it be For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be By making his world a little colder.
There will be an answer, let it be Hey Jude, don't let me down.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be You have found her, now go and get her.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be Remember to let her into your heart,
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Then you can start to make it better.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me You're waiting for someone to perform with.
Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Take a sad song and make it better.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be Remember to let her under your skin,
And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be Then you'll begin to make it
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...

Discotheque I Will Survive

by Gloria Gaynor
At first I was afraid, I was petrified Somebody new
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
And I grew strong Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
And I learned how to get along Go on now, go, walk out the door
And so you're back Just turn around now
From outer space 'Cause you're not welcome anymore
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
I should have changed that stupid lock, You think I'd crumble?
I should have made you leave your key You think I'd lay down and die?
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Oh no, not I, I will survive
Go on now, go, walk out the door Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
Just turn around now I've got all my life to live
'Cause you're not welcome anymore And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? I will survive
You think I'd crumble? Oh
You think I'd lay down and die? Go on now, go, walk out the door
Oh no, not I, I will survive Just turn around now
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive 'Cause you're not welcome anymore
I've got all my life to live Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive You think I'd crumble?
I will survive, hey, hey You think I'd lay down and die?
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Oh no, not I, I will survive
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I've got all my life to live
I used to cry And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
But now I hold my head up high and you see me I will survive
I will survive

Stop! In The Name Of Love Hopelessly Devoted To You
by The Supremes by Olivia Newton-John
Stop! In the name of love Guess mine is not the first heart broken
Before you break my heart My eyes are not the first to cry
Baby, baby I'm not the first to know
I'm aware of where you go There's just no getting over you
Each time you leave my door I know I'm just a fool who's willing
I watch you walk down the street To sit around and wait for you
Knowing your other love you'll meet But baby, can't you see there's nothing else for me to do?
But this time before you run to her I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Leaving me alone and hurt But now there's nowhere to hide
(Think it over) After I've been good to you Since you pushed my love aside
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you I'm out of my head
Stop! In the name of love Hopelessly devoted to you
Before you break my heart Hopelessly devoted to you
Stop! In the name of love Hopelessly devoted to you
Before you break my heart My head is sayin', "Fool, forget him"
Think it over My heart is sayin', "Don't let go
Think it over Hold on to the end", that's what I intend to do
I've known of your I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Your secluded nights But now there's no way to hide
I've even seen her Since you pushed my love aside
Maybe once or twice I'm outta my head
But is her sweet expression Hopelessly devoted to you
Worth more than my love and affection? Hopelessly devoted to you
But this time before you leave my arms Hopelessly devoted to you
And rush off to her charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you?
(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you?
Stop! In the name of love
We've Only Just Begun
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love by Carpenters
Before you break my heart
Think it over We've only just begun to live
Think it over White lace and promises
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient A kiss for luck and we're on our way
Hoping you'll stop this infatuation (We've only begun)
But each time you are together Before the risin' sun, we fly
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever So many roads to choose
Stop! In the name of love We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
Before you break my heart, baby, think it over (And yes, we've just begun)
(Stop! In the name of love) Think it over, baby Sharing horizons that are new to us
(Before you break my heart) Ooh, think it over baby Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
 Skyline Pigeon
by Bernie Taupin and Elton John
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the ways
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey
For just a skyline pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
That he can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mowed hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day
I wanna hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me from
This aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun
For just this skyline pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
That he can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very
So very far behind
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
by Stevie Wonder
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears, whoa, oh, oh
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around, mmm, mmm, yeah, yeah
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be heaven
How could so much love be inside of you?
Whoa, whoa
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around, mmm (baby)
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart, yeah
You are the sunshine of my life, baby
That's why I'll always stay around
Part-Time Lover
by Stevie Wonder
Call up, ring once, hang up the phone
To let me know you made it home
Don't want nothing to be wrong with part-time lover
If she's with me i'll blink the lights
To let you know tonight's the night
For me and you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
If i'm with friends and we should meet
Just pass me by, don't even speak
Know the word's "discreet" when part-time lovers
But if there's some emergency
Have a male friend to ask for me
So then she won't peek its really you my part-time lover
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
We are undercover passion on the run
Chasing love up against the sun
We are strangers by day, lovers by night
Knowing it's so wrong, but feeling so right
I've got something that I must tell
Last night someone rang our doorbell
And it was not you my part-time lover
And then a man called our exchange
But didn't want to leave his name
I guess that two can play the game
Of part-time lovers
You and me, part-time lovers
But, she and he, part-time lovers
 I Just Called To Say I Love You
by Stevie Wonder
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day
No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart
Of my heart (baby, of my heart)
My Heart Will Go On
by Celine Dion
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I'd hold to
In my life, we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on (why does the heart go on?)
Once more, you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Copacabana
by Barry Manilow
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa they fell in love
Copa, Copacabana
His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit to far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the copa, she lost her love
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copa, Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
like in Havana
(Copa, banana)
Music and passion were always in fashion
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind
At the copa (co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the copa (co) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the copa don't fall in love
don't fall in love
(Copacabana)
(Copacabana)
 Mandy Somewhere Down The Road
by Barry Manilow by Barry Manilow
I remember all my life We had the right love at the wrong time
Raining down as cold as ice Guess I always knew inside
Shadows of a man I wouldn't have you for a long time
A face through a window Those dreams of yours are shining on distant shores
Crying in the night And if they're calling you away
The night goes into I have no right to make you stay
Morning, just another day But somewhere down the road
Happy people pass my way Our roads are gonna cross again
Looking in their eyes It doesn't really matter when
I see a memory But somewhere down the road
I never realized I know that heart of yours will come to see
How happy you made me That you belong with me
Oh, Mandy Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
Well, you came and you gave without taking It doesn't matter if you're gone
But I sent you away I still believe in us together
Oh, Mandy I understand more than you think I can
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking You have to go out on your own
And I need you today So you can find your way back home
Oh, Mandy But somewhere down the road
I'm standing on the edge of time Our roads are gonna cross again
I've walked away when love was mine It doesn't really matter when
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing But somewhere down the road
The tears are in my mind I know that heart of yours will come to see
And nothing is rhyming That you belong with me
Oh, Mandy Letting go is just another way to say
Well, you came and you gave without taking I'll always love you so
But I sent you away We had the right love at the wrong time
Oh, Mandy Maybe we've only just begun
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking Maybe the best is yet to come
And I need you today 'Cause somewhere down the road
Oh, Mandy Our roads are gonna cross again
Yesterday's a dream It doesn't really matter when
I face the morning But somewhere down the road
Crying on a breeze I know that heart of yours will come to see
The pain is calling That you belong with me
Oh, Mandy
Well, you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh, Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh, Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you

They told him, "Don't you ever come around here"
"Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare

Billie Jean
by Michael Jackson
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round?
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice, do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean)
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Where did we lose our way? And now it's too late to hold you

To prove my love to you Feeling knowing you hear me it keeps me alive alive...
And if you come back to me And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
I'll guarantee Like so many friends we've lost along the way
That I'll never let you go And I know eventually we'll be together
Can we go back to the days our love was strong? Together
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? One sweet day...
Can somebody tell me how to get things back Loving you always and I'll wait patiently to see you in heaven
The way they use to be? Darlin' I never showed you
Oh God give me a reason (I never showed you)
I'm down on bended knee
Assumed you'd always be there (always be there)
I'll never walk again until you come back to me
I thought you'd always be there
I'm down on bended knee
And I... I... I take
So many nights I dream of you
(Taken for granted) your presence for granted
Holding my pillow tight
But I always cared
And I know I don't need to be alone, yeah
But I always cared
When I open up my eyes
And I miss the love we shared
To face reality
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Every moment without you
It seems like eternity Like so many friends we've lost along the way
I'm begging you, begging you come back to me (Lost along the way)
Can we go back to the days our love was strong? And I know eventually
Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong? (I know I know) we'll be together
Can somebody tell me how to get things back We'll be together
The way they use to be? One sweet day...

Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)
I want it that way
'Cause I want it that way

by Destiny's Child
Welcome to the wonderful world of Destiny's Child
I'm Da Brat-tat-tat, my homeboy Den on the track
And we gon' lay you flat on yo' back
When the beat-boom-boom-pat-pat like that, yaheard me?
We comin' in this game like some survivor's
And we leavin' this game like some survivor's
So from now, until we dead and gone
We gon' be some survivors, ya heard me?
Beyonce, where you at? Uh!
Now that you're outta my life, I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without ya, but I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without ya, but I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without ya, I love harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya, now I'm wiser!
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya but I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya, but I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya, sold nine million
I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gon' give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)

Uh
Now I dun' been through the storm and the rain
Climbed up the rough side and got tough at times
But I remain, if I got the stuff to shine
And pull out the pump, protect mine
Survive in the game, hate on me 'cause you lame
They don't ever see your face or say your name
No more pain for me, no more misery, 'cause you history
I'm a hold on to what I got
Strap on to my perfection, strap on protection
My own direction, born to be the best at what I do
I'ma make it through, stompin' like a soldier in my big black boots
I keep 'em "Jumpin', Jumpin', " stayin' funky, funky for you
No matter who's that man that walk out of your life
You don't need 'em, don't be no heater
Long as I'm still breathin', not leavin' for no reason
Seen them come and go, one switch, they not gold
No house no mo', not even a condo
As long as I know how to love, I'm a stay alive
No need your game or style
They can't tame me 'cause I'm wild, not ashamed of stayin' down
Can the rain sit, and 'em things chromed out, spit
And in my game, no doubt, I'm a get paid in a big way, survivor!
I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gon' give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)
I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gon' give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)
I will survive (what), keep on survivin' (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gon' give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm not gon' give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what), I'm gon' work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what), I'm gonna make it (what)

As we walk down the aisle together

So Much In Love We will vow to be together 'til we die
So in love are we two

by All-4-One Just can't wait to say, "I do"

As we stroll along together
Holding hands walking all along
So in love are we two
That we don't know what to do
So in love (so in love)
In a world of our own (so in love)
As we walk by the sea together
Under stars twinkling high above
So in love are we two
No one else but me and you
So in love (so in love)
So much in love (so in love)
So in love (so in love)
So much in love (so in love)
We stroll along together
I tell you, I need you oh so much
I, I love, I love you my darling
Can you tell it in my touch
So in love (so in love)
In a world of our own (so in love)
So in love (so in love)
Are you and I (so in love)
Baby, I hope you realize (oh, baby)
That you mean so much to me
(That you mean, you mean so much)
You're everything I ever wanted and I want you (everything, everything,
everything)
To touch, to feel your body close to me (my darling, my darling)
I just wanna hold you forever in my arms forever
I love you baby (and I'm darling in my touch)
As we walk down the aisle together
We will vow to be together 'til we die
So in love are we two
Just can't wait to say, "I do"
So in love (so in love)
Are you and I (so in love)
So in love (so in love)
Are you and I (so in love)
So in love (so in love, so in love)

Lose Yourself
by Eminem
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There'ss vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clocks run out, times up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes rabbit, he choked
Hes so mad, but he wont give up that
Is he? no
He wont have it, he knows his whole back citys ropes
It dont matter, hes dope
He knows that, but hes broke
Hes so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, thats when its
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
The souls escaping, through this hole that its gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardoms close to post mortar
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, hes know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, god only knows
Hes grown farther from home, hes no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses dont want him no mo, hes cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose its old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
No more games, ima change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But i kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebodys payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That i cant get by with my 9 to 5
And i cant provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps dont buy diapers
And its no movie, theres no mekhi phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, i'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore i end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failures not
Mom, i love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in salems lot
So here i go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that i got
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
 Gangsta's Paradise
by Coolio and Kylian Mash Alternative Music
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left

 Together Forever
by Rick Astley
If there's anything you need
All you have to do is say
You know you satisfy everything in me
We shouldn't waste a single day
So don't stop me falling
It's destiny calling
A power I just can't deny
It's never-changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life
Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move Heaven and Earth
To be together forever with you
If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do
Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you
There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never-changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life
Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
