Voice Inside My Head
I was only a kid
when I said goodbye to you,
ten summers ago,
but it feels like yesterday,
lost, scared and alone,
nothing could give to you,
I tried, I really did,
but I couldn’t find another way;
and I want, and I need, somehow
to believe in the choice I made,
am I better off this way,
I can hear the voice inside my head,
saying you should be with me instead,
every time I’m feeling down,
I wonder,
what would it be like with you around

Waiting In The Weeds - Eagles
It's comin' on the end of August
Another summer's promise almost gone
And though I heard some wise man say
That every dog will have his day
He never mentioned that these dog days get so long
I don't know when I realized the dream was over
Well, there was no particular hour, no given day
You know, it didn't go down in flame
There was no final scene, no frozen frame
I just watched it slowly fade away
And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for my time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keepin' to myself
Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing
Even though you're with somebody else
He'll never love you like I do

Xanadu / Olivia Newton John
A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu
(It takes your breath and it'll leave you blind)
And now, open your eyes and see
What we have made is real
We are in Xanadu
(A dream of it, we offer you)
A million lights are dancing
And there you are, a shooting star
An everlasting world
And you're here with me eternally
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu
(Xanadu)
Xanadu, Xanadu
(Now we are here)
In Xanadu
Xanadu, your neon lights will shine
For you Xanadu
The love, the echoes of long ago
You needed the world to know

You got lucky - Tom Petty
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me, go
Yeah go but remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky babe
Yeah, you got lucky babe
When I found you-
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If I don't take you all of the way, go
Yeah go, but remember good love
Is hard to find
You got lucky babe
Yeah you got lucky
When I found you

ZOOM - Fat Larry's Band
Zoom, just one look and then
my heart went boom
Suddenly and we were on the moon
Flying high on the neon sky, oh
Bang, just one touch and
All the church bells rang
Heaven called and all the angel sang
Sunrise shine in the morning sky, oh
Zoom, you chase the day away
High noon, the moon
And stars came out to play
Then my whole wide world went zoom
(I passed the rainbow as it went flying by
Faster and faster we were higher than high)
For once in my lifetime I was finally free
And you came back to me
Oh, zoom you chase the day away High noon
The moon and stars came out to play
Then my whole world went zoom
Moonbeams dancing in the afternoon
Shadows blowing as the roses bloom
Looking down on a wonderland, oh
Smack, just one kiss and I was outta whack
All at once there was no turnin' back
Oh so far above the brightest star, oh
(sweet memories, sigh)

Yes for sure. 😄
Anyone who had a heart - Burt Bacharach and Hal David
Anyone who ever loved
Could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed
Could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in her arms
And love me too
You, you couldn't really have a heart
And hurt me
Like you hurt me
And be so untrue
What am I to do
Every time you go away
I always say it's good bye dear
Loving you the way I do
I take you back
Without you I'd die dear
Knowing I love you so

Candle in the wind / Elton John
Goodbye, Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me, you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to know you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
All the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Yes, such a lovely song.:-x
Born Free - Andy Williams
Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart
Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free
(Stay free, where no walls divide you)
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

Day In The Life, The Beatles
I read the news today, oh boy,
about a lucky man who made the grade,
and though the news was rather sad,
I just had to laugh,
I saw the photograph;
woke up, fell out of bed,
dragged a comb across my head,
found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
and looking up,
I noticed I was late;
I read the news today oh boy,
four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire,
and though the holes were rather small,
they had to count them all,
now they know how many holes
it takes to fill the Albert Hall,
I'd love to turn you on

Express Yourself - Madonna
Come on girls
Do you believe in love?
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this
Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last, no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down
(You'll never come down)

Fifty ways to leave your lover / Paul Simon
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Just slip out the back, Jack, Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy, Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus, You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

Gentle On My Mind - Elvis Presley
It's knowin' that your door is always open
And you path is free to walk
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up
And stashed behind your couch
It's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the heat stains that have dried up on some lovin'
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns mellowed by me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we'd fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory and for hours
You're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junk yards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence
Till' the join might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you
Walking in the back roads
By the rivers flowing gently on my mind
I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling,
cracking cauldron in some train yard
I'm barely runnin' cold how
Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Who cupped hands around the tin cans
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're wavin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smiling never changes on my mind

HORSE WITH NO NAME / AMERICA
On the first part of the journey, I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry,
But the air was full of sounds
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
After two days in the desert sun, my skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun, I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
After nine days, I let the horse run free 'cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la
I, as in eye, aye, I

I DREAM OF JEANNIE - JOAN BAEZ
I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair,
Floating like a vapor on the summer air.
I hear her melodies like days gone by,
Sighing around my heart o'er the fond hopes that die.
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Wailing for her lost love that comes not again.
I dream of Jeannie and my heart bows low,
Nevermore to find her where the deep waters flow

LADY MADONNA / BEATLES
Lady Madonna
Children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money, When you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven-sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run
Lady Madonna, Baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
See how they run
Lady Madonna, Lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn't come
Thursday night your stockings needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, Children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

MOTHERS LAMENT
BRUCE, JACK/BAKER, GINGER/CLAPTON, ERIC PATRICKAre we wollin'? A one, a two, a free, a four...
A mother was washing her baby one night,
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite.
The mother was poor and the baby was thin,
'Twas naught but an skelingtin covered with skin.
The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,
"Oh, where 'as my baby gone?" The angels replied:
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug 'ole.
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
He should 'ave been washed in a jug, in a jug.
Your baby is perfectly happy;
He won't need a bath anymore.
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above,
Not lost but gone before.
Thankyou,

NEW DAY HAS COME / Celine Dion
I was waiting for so long,
for a miracle to come,
everyone told me to be strong,
hold on and don’t shed a tear,
so through darkness and good times,
I knew I’d make it through,
and the world thought I had it all,
but I was waiting for you;
hush now,
I see a light in the sky,
oh it’s almost blinding me,
I can’t believe I’ve been touched
by an angel with love;
let the rain come down,
and wash away my tears,
let it fill my soul, and drown my fears,
let it shatter the walls,
for a new sun,
a new day has come,
a new day has come.
