Truly Madly Deeply

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.

I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of

The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

To Sir with Love

Those schoolgirl days of telling tales
and biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know
they will still live on and on

But how do you thank someone
who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try

If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
'To Sir, With Love'

The time has come for closing books
and long last looks must end
And as I leave I know
that I am leaving my best friend

A friend who taught me right from wrong
and weak from strong
That's a lot to learn,
but what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start
But I would rather you let me give my heart
'To Sir, With Love'

These Eyes

These eyes, cry every night for you
These arms, they long to hold you again
The hurtin's on me
And I will never be free, no
Gave a promise to me
Then you broke it, and you broke it

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend
The hurtin's on me
I will never be free, no
You took a vow with me
And you spoke it, when you spoke it

These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you

These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you

These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you

These eyes, watched you bring my world to an end
This heart, just could not accept and pretend

These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you

These eyes, are cryin'
These eyes have seen alot of love
But they're never gonna see another
One like I had with you

These eyes, cry every night for you
These eyes

The One

I'll be the one

I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies

There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

I'll be the one
(I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light
(I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
Cuz my fear is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light

There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night

I'll be the one
(I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light
(I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

To hold you, and make sure that you'll be alright

You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams comin' true
I can show you what true love means
Just take me hand, baby please...

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run

I'll be the one
(I'll be the one)
Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light
(I'll be the light)
When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one

I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one

To hold you, and make sure that you'll be alright
I'll be the one

The Greatest Love Of All

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone
Who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me.

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well
And let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty
They possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe.
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

by Whitney Houston

The Dance

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know
I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
but I'd of had to miss the dance

Teddy Bear

Baby let me be,
your lovin' Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck,
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind
you love enough.

Just wanna be, your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

Baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair,
And cuddle me real tight

By Elvis Presley

Stranger On The Shore

Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship
as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore

Somewhere Out There

Somewhere out there
beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there
someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
in that big somewhere out there

And even though I know
how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might
be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts
to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
if love can see us through
Then we'll be together
somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know
how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might
be wishing on the same bright star

And when the night wind starts
to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
if love can see us through
Then we'll be together
somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

Reach Out I'll Be There

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around you is crumblin' down
Darling reach out, darlin' reach out for me

I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on me

When you feel lost and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're driftin' out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold

Darlin' reach out, darlin' reach out for me
I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With all the love that will see you through

I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on me

I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love and now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found

I know what you're thinkin',
you're alone now
No love of your own
But darlin' reach out
Darlin' reach out for me

I'll be there
To give you all the love you need
And I'll be there
You can always count on me

I'll be there
With the love that will shelter you
I'll be there
With the love that will see you through

Power Of Love

The power of love
is a curious thing
make a one man weep,
make another man sing

Change a hawk
to a little white dove
more than a feeling
that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds,
rich like cream
Stronger and harder
than a bad girl's dream

make a bad one good
make a wrong one right
power of love
that keeps you home at night

You don't need money,
don't take fame
Don't need no credit card
to ride this train

It's strong and it's sudden
and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it,
it might make you sad
Next time you feel it
it might make you mad

But you'll be glad, baby
when you've found
that's the power
makes the world go'round

And it don't take money,
don't take fame
don't need no credit card
to ride this train

It's strong and it's sudden
it can be cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you

and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

It don't take money
and it don't take fame
don't need no credit card
to ride this train

Tougher than diamonds
and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin'
till you feel

you feel the power,
just the power of love
That's the power,
that's the power of love

You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love

Part Of Your World

Maybe he’s right.
Maybe there is something wrong with me.
I just don’t see how a world that,
That makes such wonderful things...could be bad.

Look at this stuff. Isn’t it neat?
Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?
Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl
The girl who has ev’rything?

Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here, you’d think
Sure, she’s got ev’rything

I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I’ve got who’s-its and what’s-its galore
You want thing-a-ma-bobs?
I’ve got twenty
But who cares? No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see ‘em dancin’
Walkin’ around on those
Whaddya call ‘em? Oh, feet

Flippin’ your fins, you don’t get too far
Legs are required for jumpin’, dancin’
Stollin’ along down the
What’s that word again? Street

Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin’ free, wish I could be
Part of that world

What I would give if I could live
Out of these waters
What I would pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand

Betcha on land they understand
Bet they don’t reprimand their daughters
Bright young women sick of swimmin’
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask ‘em my questions, get some answers
What’s a fire? and why does it
What’s that word? Burn?

When’s it my turn?
Wouldn’t I love, love to explore
That shore up above, out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Open Arms

If love is what you want
Baby, here I am
If tenderness is what you need
I've got that to give
If you need some affection
Baby, these are open arms

Open arms, open arms, open arms, open arms
You come when you've had a hard day
Every door you tried to open
Was closing in your face
I'm right here, I'll be right here
I'll embrace you

I'll be open with my heart
I'll let you in
I'll be open with my thoughts
I'll be your best friend
If you need some attention
Baby these are open arms
Open arms, open arms, open arms, open arms

Every corner you turn
Trouble come your way
But when you get home
I'll try to be there
And I'll embrace you

These are
These are
These are
Open arms

If time is what you need
Baby, I'll stop the clocks
If you're looking for something
Maybe I've got what you want

If there's one thing to remember
Don't forget that these are open arms
Open arms, open arms, open arms, open arms

These are
These are
These are
Open arms

One Sweet Day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away

Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Darling I never showed you
Assumed you'd always be there
I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Although the sun will never shine the same
I'll always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends we've lost along the way
And I know eventually we'll be together
One sweet day

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly-girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on.

Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on.

In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones.

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band.

Obladi oblada life goes on bra

Now and Forever

Whenever i'm weary,
from the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness,
when my sanity hangs by a thread

I lose my way
but still you seem to understand
Now and forever,
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you,
too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune,
that heaven has given to me

I'll try to show you each and everyway I can
Now and forever, I will be your man

Now I can rest my worries
and always be sure That I wont be alone anymore
If I only knew you were here all this time,
all this time

Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the sand,
now and forever,
I will be your man

Now and forever,
I will be your man
