You Are So Beautiful

You Are So Beautiful
You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me
Can't you see

You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me

You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me

You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me
Can't you see

You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me

You are so beautiful, to me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're every, everything I need
You are so beautiful, to me

You Were Meant For Me

I hear the clock, it's 6am
I feel so far away from where I've been
Got my eggs, and my pancakes, too
Got my maple syrup, everything but you

I break the yolks and make a smiley face
I kinda like it in my brand new place
I wipe the spots off of the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore 'cause

Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Called my momma, she was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn't wanna talk
Picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken or people being used

Put on my coat in the pouring rain
Saw a movie, it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy, and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad

Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

Go about my business, I'm doing fine
Besides, what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken every day

Brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
I pick up a book, turn the sheets down
Take a deep breath and a good look around

Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive, but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think anymore tonight

Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know, that you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you

You've Got A Friend

When you're down and troubled
And you need some love and care
And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up
Even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together, baby
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me
Knockin' at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that
You've got a friend?

People can be so cold, oh yeah
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
But don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin'
To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

You've got a friend
You've got a friend.

Your Love Amazes Me

I've seen the seven wonders of the world
I've seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
But they ain't nothin' baby
Your love amazes me

I've seen a sunset that would make you cry
And colors of a rainbow reaching 'cross the sky
The moon in all its phases, but
Your love amazes me

Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
You're the only one for me
You give me hope, you give reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully, your love amazes me

I've prayed for miracles that never came
I got down on my knees in the pouring rain
But only you could save me
Your love amazes me

Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
You're the only one for me
You give me hope, you give me reason
You give me something to believe in
Forever faithfully, your love amazes me.

Your love
Your love amazes me

Your love amazes me
I got down on my knees
Your love
Your love amazes me

Only you

You're My Best Friend

Ooo, you make me live
whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooo, you make me live now, honey
Ooo, you make me live

You're the best friend
that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
You're my best friend

Ooo, you make me live

I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me, girl
I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend.

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love
The things that you do
You're my best friend

Ooo, you make me live.

I'm happy, happy at home
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
You, you're my best friend.

By Queen
From A Night At The Opera (1975)

What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses, too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Louis Armstrong

Without You

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there,
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give any more

Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile, but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes it shows

I can't live
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live
(Live)
If living is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more

(No, I can't live)
(No, I can't live)
No I
No no no no I
I can't live
(No, I can't live)
If living is without you...
(No, I can't live)
I can't live
I can't give any more
I can't live

Mariah Carey

We Shall Overcome

We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

The lord will see us through,
the lord will see us through,
The lord will see us through someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

We're on to victory, we're on to victory,
We're on to victory someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We're on to victory someday.

We'll walk hand in hand,
we'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand someday.

We are not afraid,
we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.

The truth shall make us free,
the truth shall make us free,
The truth shall make us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
The truth shall make us free someday.

We shall live in peace,
we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall live in peace someday.

What A Difference You've Made

What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.
Oh, what a difference you've made
In my life.

What a change you have made in my heart.
What a change you have made in my heart.
You replaced all the broken parts.
Oh, what a change you have made
In my heart.

Love to me was just a word in a song
That had been way overused.
But you gave love a meaning,
So I joined in the singing,
That's why I wanna spread the news.

What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.
Oh, what a difference you've made,
(what a difference you've made,)
What a difference you've made in my life.

What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.
What a difference you've made.

(What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
(What a difference you've made in my life.)

Difference you've made in my life.
(You're my sunshine day and night.)
What a difference you've made.

(What a difference you've made in my life.)
Difference you've made in my life.
(Difference you've made in my life.)
You're my sunshine day and night.
What a difference you've made.

(What a difference you've made in my life.)
You've made a difference in me.
(What a difference you've made in my life.)
You've made a change in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night

We've Only Just Begun

We've Only Just Begun
We've only just begun, to live,
White lace an' promises,
A kiss for luck an' we're on our way . . .

( We've only just begun! )

Before the rising sun, we fly,
So many roads to choose,
We start out walkin' an' learn to run . . .
An' yes, we've just begun . . .

Sharin' 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! )

An' when the evening comes, we smile,
So much of life ahead,
We'll find a place where there's room to grow . . .
We've only just begun ( . . . just begun! )
We've only just begun ( We've only just begun! )

Sharin' 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! )

An' when the evening comes, we smile,
So much of life ahead,
We'll find a place where there's room to grow . . .
We've only just begun ( . . . just begun! )
We've only just begun ( We've only just begun! )

We've only just begun . . .
