Another day has gone

I'm still all alone How could this be You're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why Did you have to go And leave my world so cold Everyday I sit and ask myself How did love slip away Something whispers in my ear and says That you are not alone I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you Though we're far apart You're always in my heart But you are not alone

Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England's mountain green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come; 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.

Blowin in the Wind

How many roads most a man walk down; before you call him a man ? How many seas must a white dove sail; before she sleeps in the sand ? How many times must the cannon balls fly; before they're forever banned ? The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist; before it's washed to the sea ? How many years can some people exist, before they're allowed to be free ? How many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see ? The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Stand by Me

Somewhere over the Rainbow

There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where troubles melt like lemon drops, High above the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?

500 Miles
When I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

When I come home , oh, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

But I would walk five hundred But I would walk five hundred miles miles I would walk five hundred And I would walk five hundred more And more Just to be the man who walked a Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles thousand miles To fall down at your door

To fall down at your door

My Favourite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,

bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favourite things. Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels, door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles. Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings. these are a few of my favourite things. Girls in a white dresses with a blue satin sashes, snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, silver white winters that melt into springs, these are a few of my favourite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad.

Its supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 1. Because I was afraid to speak, when I was just a lad, me father gave me nose a tweak and told me I was bad. But then one day I learned a word that saved me aching nose, the biggest word I ever heard, and this is how it goes : 2. He travelled all around the world and everywhere he went, he'd use his word and all would say, "There goes a clever gent". When dukes and maharajas pass the time of day with me, I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea.

Any Dream Will Do

I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain. To see for certain

what I thought I knew. Far, far away, someone was weeping. But the world was sleeping. Any dream will do. I wore my coat with golden lining. Bright colours shining, wonderful and new. And in the east, the dawn was breaking. And the world was waking. Any dream will do. A crash of drums, a flash of light. My golden coat flew out of sight. The colours faded into darkness. I was left alone May I return to the beginning. The light is dimming, and the dream is too. The world and I, we are still waiting Still hesitating. Any dream will do Give me my coloured coat, my amazing coloured coat! Give me my coloured coat, my amazing coloured coat!

Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright. Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!" Rise up this mornin', Smiled with the risin' sun, Three little birds

Pitch by my doorstep Singin' sweet songs Of melodies pure and true, Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Hound Dog

Hallelujah
I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
