The Way We Were
Barbra Streisand
Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand
Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree by Tony Orlando and Dawn
Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree
Tony Orlando and Dawn
I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you received my letter,
Tellin' you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do,
If you still want me . . .
If you still want me . . .
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years,
Do you still want me ? ( still want me ? )
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .
If I don't see a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree . . .
Bus driver please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see,
I'm really still in prison,
And my love, she holds the key,
Simple yella ribbon's, what I need to set me free . . .
I wrote and told her please . . .
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years,
Do you still want me ? ( still want me ? )
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
. . . three long years,
. . . still want me ?
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see . . .
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole . . .
The ole oak tree!
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Roberta Flack
The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My Love.
And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My Love.
And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last, til the end of time
My Love.
And last, 'til the end of time.
My love.
The first time, ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your fa-ace
Your face.

Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends will all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Too Close by Next
I wonder if she could tell that
I am hard right know
(hmm...)
yeah come on

(haha)
Oh oh feel that
oh right come on
don't stop know
u know u did it

oh well
(Chorus)
Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh you know I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh your're dancing real close
swaying real slow,
You're making it hard for me
All the songs on you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh, it's almost like we're sexing
Yeah boo I like it, no I can't deny it
But I know you can tell I'm excited
Oh girl
(Bridge)
Step back you're dancing kind of close
I feel a little poke coming' through, on you
Now girl I know you felt it
But boo you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
(Chorus)
Baby us dancing so close
Ain't a good idea
'Cuz I'ma want you now and here
The way that you shake it on me
Makes me want you so bad sexually
Oh girl
(Bridge)
(Chorus) x2
I love when you shake it like that, ah, ah, ah
I see that you like it like that, oh, oh, oh
I love when you shake it like that, ah, ah, ah
I see that you like it like that, oh, oh, oh
(Chorus) x3
Joy To The World by Three Dog Night
Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
Make sweet love to you
Singin' now
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight-shootin' son of a gun
I said a straight shootin' son of a gun
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

After love After love After love After love
After love After love After love After love
After love After love After love After love
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing your heart
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore,oh
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me says
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon and Garfunkel
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are near your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your heart
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Breathe
Breathe
Faith Hill
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear is the beating of your heart
Chorus
Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby isn't that the way that love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now
(chorus)
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby isn't that the way that love's supposed to be?
I can feel you breathe, just breathe
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
Aquarius
Aquarius
(Aquarius-Let the sunshine in)
Fifth Dimension
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in

Let the sunshine

Oh everyone sing along
Come on!
Now everybody just sing along
And let the sunshine on in
Open up your heart
And let it shine on you
And when you're lonely
Hey! let it shine, yea
You got to open up your heart
and let it shine on in
When you feel like everythings cheated
And your friends are turning backs upon you
Just open up your heart
and let it shine in
You've got to feel it!
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
