Öğretmenlik
yaşamımda beni şaşırtan şeylerden biri de öğrencilerin şarkı
sözlerine karşı aşırı ilgisi oldu. Belki de
bu tür evrensel talep yüzünden şarkı sözleri çoğu course
book'un içinde bol bol yer aldı. Metodoloji olarak ele
aldığımızda ham şarkı dinletmenin pek bir yararı olmadığı söylenebilir.
O nedenle şarkılar mutlaka bir 'exercise'
formatında uygulanmalıdır. Şarkılar aslında en kolay
ulaşılabilir malzeme gibi görünselerde işin içinden çıkılmaz
şairane dizeleri ile çoğu zaman baş ağrısı da olabilirler.
O nedenle siz siz olun sözlerine tümüyle vakıf olmadığınız şarkıların
CD lerini sınıfa götürmeyin. Sınıf ortamına en
uygun oldies'lerden bir bölümünü sitemize aldık, şimdi
sizleri duyar gibi oluyorum iyi de müzik işi ne olacak. Bu
konuda radyolar, internet ve kendi kasetlerini üretmiş
öğretmenler size yardımcı olabilir.
İyi Dersler ...

Are
You Lonesome Tonight
Are You Lonesome Tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray
To a bright summer day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlour seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep
And picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain,
Shall I come back again?
Tell me, dear, Are You Lonesome Tonight?
I wonder if you are lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And we each must play a part.
Faith had me playing in love with you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act 2, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then they can bring the curtain down.
Bohemian
Rhapsody
Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, To me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone
And thrown it all away
Mama ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind
And face the truth
Mama ooo (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish
I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche scaramouche
Will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning
Very very frightening me
Galileo,Galileo
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro
Magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy
And nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life
From this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah!
No we will not let you go
(Let him go!)
Bismillah!
We will not let you go
(Let him go!)
Bismillah!
We will not let you go
(Let me go!)
Will not let you go
(Let me go!)
Will not let you go
(Let me go!)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil.
Another
Brick in the Wall
Daddy's flown
across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me
All in all it was all just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave us kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave us kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
I don't need no arms around me
I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I need anything at all
No don't think I'll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were just bricks in the wall
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.
All my mem'ries gather 'round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, tear-drop in my eye.
Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.
I hear her voice, in the morning hours she calls me,
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And driving down the road I get the feeling
that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
Country road, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia, mountain momma,
Take me home, country road.
Take me home, country road.
El Condor

If I Could Simon and Garfunkel
I'd rather be a sparrow than
a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tired out to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound
Its saddest sound
I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would
Fast
Car- Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
JUst 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see me old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He sayshis body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we wre driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had feeling I could be someone, be someone,
Be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way
Green
Green Grass Of Home -Tom Jones
The
old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips
like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and
dry,
and there's that old oak tree I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips
like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[spoken:]
Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall surround
me
and I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak
tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.

I Told You Lately That I Love You? -
Van Morrison
Have
I Told You Lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
For the morning sun in all it's glory,
Meets the day with hope and comfort too,
You fill my life with laughter, somehow you make it better,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do.
There's a love less defined,
And it's yours and it's mine,
Like the sun.
And at the end of the day,
We should give thanks and pray,
To The One, to The One.

Hello
I've
been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying ... I love you
Hey
Jude / The Beatles
Hey,
Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey,
Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And
any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey,
Jude! Don't let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So
let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey,
Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hotel
California -The Eagles
On
a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty
nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave.

I
Just Called To Say I Love You -
Stevie Wonder
No
New Year's day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart,
...... of my heart

I Will Always Love You
If
I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, my darling
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye... please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But, above all this, I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I... I will always love you
You
Darling, I love you
Ooh, I'll always
I will always love you

Can't Make You Love Me -
George Michael
Turn
down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices, inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
Chorus:
cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't
No, you won't
And I can't make you love me, if you don't
I close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Chorus
Ain't no use in you trying
You don't love me
Baby, ain't no use in you trying
If you don't love me
Ain't nothing I can do
If
I Were A Rich Man
If
I Were A Rich Man,
Daidle, Deedle, Daidle, Digguh,
Digguh, Deedle, Daidle, Dum.
All Day Long I`D Biddy, Biddy Bum,
If I Were A Wealthy Man.
Wouldn`T Have To Work Hard,
Daidle, Deedle, Daidle, Digguh,
Digguh, Deedle, Daidle, Dum.
If I Were A Biddy, Biddy Rich,
Digguh, Digguh, Deedle, Daidle Man.
I`d Build A Big Tall House With Rooms By The Dozen,
Right In The Middle Of The Town;
A Fine Tin Roof With Real Wooden Floors Below.
There Could Be One Long Stair Case Just Going Up
And One Even Longer Coming Down;
And One More Leading Nowhere Just For Show.
I'd Fill My Yard With Chicks And Turkeys
And Geese And Ducks
For The Town To See And Hear;
Squawking Just As Noisily As They Can.
And Each Loud Quack And Cluck And Gobble And Honk
Will Land Like A Trumpet On The Ear;
As If To Say Here Lives A Wealthy Man.
Chorus
I See My Wife Golde Looking Like A Rich Man`S Wife
With A Proper Double Chin;
Supervising Meals To Her Heart`S Delight.
I See Her Putting On Airs
And Strutting Like A Peacock
Oy! What A Happy Mood She`S In.
Screaming At The Servants Day And Night.
The Most Important Men In Town Will Come To Fawn On Me;
They Will Ask Me To Advise Them,
Like Soloman The Wise,
`If You Please, Reb Tevye, Pardon Me, Reb Tevye.`
Posing Problems That Would Cross A Rabbi`s Eyes.
Boi, Boi, Boi, Boi, Boi, Boi, Boi, Boi, Boi.
And It Won`T Make One Bit Of Diff`Rence
If I Answer Right Or Wrong?
When You`Re Rich, They Think You Really Know.
If I Were Rich, I'd Have The Time That I Lack,
To Sit In A Synagogue And Pray;
And Maybe Have A Seat By The Eastern Wall.
And I'd Discuss The Holy Books With The Learned Men Seven Hours
Ev`Ry Day;
This Would Be The Sweetest Thing Of All.
Chorus
Lord, Who Made The Lion And The Lamb,
You Decreed I Should Be What I Am;
Would It Spoil Some Vast Eternal Plan,
If I Were A Wealthy Man?
Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine
there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
No greed or hunger
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
Nothing to kill or die for
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.
It's

Singing clear and strong

Oh
life is bigger
It's bigger
It's than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
Love
Me Tender, love me sweet
Love
Me Tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfil
For, my darlin', I love you
And I always will
Love Me Tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part
Love Me Tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time.
More
than Words
Saying
I love you
Is not the words
I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say,
but if you only knew
How easy it would be
to show me how you feel
More than words
is all you have to do
to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do
if my heart was torn in two
More than words
to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say
if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to
talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do
is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands
and touch me
Hold me close
don't ever let me go
More than words
is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do
if my heart was torn in two
More than words
to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say
if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
More than words
More than words
More than words
More than words

You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
My
Name Is Luka
Suzanne Vega
I
live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you, Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night, Some kind of trouble, some
kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was ( x3 )
Maybe it's because I'm clumsy, I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy, I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry, And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore ( x3 )
Yes, I think I'm okay, Walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say, And it's not your business
anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone, With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am ( x3 )
My name is Luka, I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you, Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear something late at night, Some kind of trouble, some
kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was ( x3 )
And they only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why

Start
spreading the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you - New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
To find I'm a number one, head of the list,
Cream of the crop at the top of the heap.
These little town blues, are melting away
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York
If I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere

Seasons
in the Sun
Terry Jacks
Goodbye
to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B C's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......
Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye Papa its hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone.
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun.
The
Sound Of Music
The
hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
Sound
of Silence
Simon and Garfunkel
Hello
darkness my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seed while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone,
Narrow streets of cobble stone.
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never shared,
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools!" said I, "you do not know,
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell...
And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon gods they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming,
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written
on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whispered in the sound of silence.
Stand
by Me
Ben E. King
When
the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light to see
No I won't be afraid No I..I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand by me stand by me
Darling Darling Stand By Me
Oh Now Now Stand by me
Stand by me stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry I won't cry No I..I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand by me stand by me
Darling Darling Stand By Me
Oh Stand by me
Stand by me stand by me
Whenever your in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh now now stand by me oh stand by me stand by me
Darling Darling Stand By Me
Oh Stand by me
Stand by me stand by me
Strangers
in the Night
Frank Sinatra
Strangers
in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we
know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
and
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

Top
of the World
The Carpenters
Such
a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Unbreak
My Heart
Toni Braxton
Don't
leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart
Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me
Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on

Cabaret
What
good is sitting,
alone In you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
It's time for a holiday.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret.
Come
taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting.
What
good's admitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
So come to the cabaret!
I
used to have this girlfriend,
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared,
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea.
She wasn't what you'd call,
A blushing flower...
As a matter of fact,
She rented by the hour.
The
day she died the neighbours
Came to snicker:
"Well, that's what comes,
From too much pills and liquor."
But when I saw her laid out like a queen,
She was the happiest corpse
I'd ever seen.
I
think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember, how she'd turn to me and say:
"What good is sitting, all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
Come to the cabaret.
And
as for me,
And as for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I go: "I'm going like Elsie".
Start
by admitting,
From cradle to tomb
It isn't that a long a stay.
Life is a cabaret, old chum,
It's only a cabaret, old chum
And I love a cabaret.
