A new day

A new day

 

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

 

Through the 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

 

Where it was dark now there's light

Where there was pain now there's joy

Where there was weakness, I found my strength

All in the eyes of a boy

 

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

 

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

 

Ohhh, a light

Hush, now

I see a light in your eyes

All in the eyes of the boy

I can't believe

I've been touched by an angel with love

I can't believe

I've been touched by an angel with love

 

Hush, now

A new day

Love's Coming

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 

She had looked for his coming as warriors come,

With the clash of arms and the bugle's call;

But he came instead with a stealthy tread,

Which she did not hear at all.

 

She had thought how his armor would blaze in the sun,

As he rode like a prince to claim his bride:

In the sweet dim light of the falling night

She found him at her side.

 

She had dreamed how the gaze of his strange, bold eye

Would wake her heart to a sudden glow:

She found in his face the familiar grace

Of a friend she used to know.

 

She had dreamed how his coming would stir her soul,

As the ocean is stirred by the wild storm's strife:

He brought her the balm of a heavenly calm,

And a peace which crowned her life.

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

 

Oh, she's hot but a psycho

So left but she's right, though

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

 

She'll make you curse, but she a blessin'

She'll rip your shirt within a second

You'll be coming back, back for seconds

With your plate, you just can't help it

 

No, no, you'll play along

Let her lead you on

You'll be saying, "No, no"

Then saying, "Yes, yes, yes"

'Cause she messin' with your head

 

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho

A little bit psycho

At night she's screamin'

"I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind"

"I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows."

As I sit here surrounded, By people and lights

Along with my drink at the bar

You've been here forever, So clear in my mind

I just don't know where you are

But I know I'll find you, But girl till I do

This is my love song for you

 

Let's hold hands on the porch swing

Under the moon

While the wind through the willows

Plays us a tune

We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard

And wish for our future

On a far away star

And you'll feel the passion, As time after time

I press your sweet lips to mine

We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn

Till you drift off

To dream in my arms

You're My Home

Billy Joel

 

♫🎶♬ SONG ♫🎶♬

  

"When you look into my eyes

And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul

It always comes as a surprise

When I feel my withered roots begin to grow

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own

That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home

When you touch my weary head

And you tell me everything will be all right

You say, ["Use my body for your bed And my

Love will keep you warm throughout the night"]

Well, I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be alone

Whenever we're together, that's my home"

Time Clocks

"I was never a teller of stories

Didn't need to thrive on the glory

It's about the life of a man, victim time and time again

Hard as hell to get up in the morning

 

And the rain soaking through my coat

It's about to capsize my boat

I push it a long away from the docks

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

 

As the rain has chilled me to the bone

I'm flat-out tired and alone

I put it away, now it's locked

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

 

Regrets to stoke the fires

Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars

The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps

Too scared to look down in the deep

 

Make no illusions about your forgone conclusions

Time will set you back, will heal all your wounds

If the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you

Like a man typecast the fool"

Stand By Me

Ben E. King

 

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

 

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me

 

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

 

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

 

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh, stand now by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

 

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me

“Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!”

How long will I love you?

As long as stars are above you,

And longer, if I can

How long will I need you?

As long as the seasons need to

Follow their plan

How long will I be with you?

As long as the sea is bound to

Wash up on the sand

How long will I want you?

As long as you want me to

And longer by far

How long will I hold you?

As long as your father told you

As long as you can

How long will I give to you?

As long as I live through you

However long you say

How long will I love you?

As long as stars are above you

And longer if I may

How long will I love you?

As long as stars are above you

"Time, why you punish me?

Like a wave crashing into the shore

You wash away my dreams

Time, why you walk away?

Like a friend with somewhere to go

You left me crying

 

Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

'Cause tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in time

 

Time, I don't understand

Children killing in the street

Dying for the color of a rag

Time, take their red and blue

Wash them in the ocean, make them clean

Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

 

Can you teach me about tomorrow

And all the pain and sorrow, running free?

But tomorrow's just another day

And I don't believe in...

 

Time is wastin', time is walkin'

(Time, time) You ain't no friend of mine

(Time, time) I don't know where I'm goin'

(Time, time) I think I'm out of my mind...

Thinkin' about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah

Just lay me down to sleep"

Skyscraper

Demi Levato

♫🎶♬ SONG ♫🎶♬

 

Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching teardrops in my hands

Only silence as it's ending

Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me feel like

There's nothing left of me

You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper

As the smoke clears, I awaken

And untangle you from me

Would it make you feel better

To watch me while I bleed?

All my windows still are broken

But I'm standing on my feet

A Time to Talk

By Robert Frost

 

When a friend calls to me from the road

And slows his horse to a meaning walk,

I don’t stand still and look around

On all the hills I haven’t hoed,

And shout from where I am, What is it?

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,

Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wall

For a friendly visit.

Map To My Heart

 

You gave me a map to your heart

Knowing right from the start I would not get there

But I followed the dashes around

Going town after town

On a wing and a prayer

Charleston to Chattanooga

Pittsburgh to Tuscaloosa

On down through Yuma into Mexico

She said, "I thought you'd give up sooner"

Oh girl, I had to prove you wrong

I'll chase your heart until you let it go

I gave you that map just to prove

That you wouldn't pursue, you'd just let me go

'Cause Heaven forbid that a man has to give it his all

For my love to grow

I tried to make you look twice

And that second glance looked quite nice

I decided I would keep my eye on you

And just like Magellan who braved stormy seas

So did you, and it was all for me

Charleston to Chattanooga

Pittsburgh to Tuscaloosa

On down through Yuma into Mexico

She said, "I thought you'd give up sooner"

Oh girl, I had to prove you wrong

I'll chase your heart until you let it go

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, I'd swim across an ocean

But that's crazy, baby, you'll be swallowed by the waves

Well, I'd drink Romeo's potion

But what good would it do if you're buried in a grave?

I guess you're right, you're always right

Charleston to Chattanooga

Pittsburgh to Tuscaloosa

On down through Yuma into Mexico

She said, "I thought you'd give up sooner"

Oh girl, I had to prove you wrong

I'll chase your heart until you let it go

You chased my heart and then I let it go

Your heart's the only one I want to know

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

Waitin' For My Dearie

From Brigadoon

Tune: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hyiv_ghxpA&t=2s

 

Many a lassie as everyone knows'll

Try to be married before twenty five

So she'll agree to most any proposal

All he mus' be is a man an' alive

 

I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'

I know there's one certain laddie for me

One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon

But should he not, then an old maid I'll be

 

Foolish, ye may say

Foolish I will stay

Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I

To hold my heart till he comes strollin' by

 

When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know

That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so

Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives

I'll not ever, ever grieve

 

For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by

For ye see, I believe

That there's a laddie weary and wanderin' free

Who's waitin' for his dearie, me!

 

What do ye do while ye're waitin' around

For your lad to come your way?

 

Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground

An' ye pray an' pray an' pray

 

But when lassies sit an' have no men

Oh, how long becomes the night

 

But I fear the night is longer

When the lad's no' right

Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me

Than wooin' any laddie on the lea

 

Dreamin' of your dearie an' idlin' the day

 

That's how I am

An' how I'll ever stay

Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives

I'll not ever, ever grieve

 

For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by

For ye see, I believe

 

That there's a laddie weary an' wanderin' free

Who's waitin' for his dearie, me!

Castle On a Cloud

www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-8H-vRXjyU&t=1s

 

There is a castle on a cloud,

I like to go there in my sleep,

Aren't any floors for me to sweep,

Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a room that's full of toys,

There are a hundred boys and girls,

Nobody shouts or talks too loud,

Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a lady all in white,

Holds me and sings a lullabye,

She's nice to hear and she's soft to touch,

She says "Cosette, I love you very much."

I know a place where no one's lost,

I know a place where no one cries,

Crying at all is not allowed,

Not in my castle on a cloud.

Sail Away

The Oak Ridge Boys

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPWVzSCEXQw

 

Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight

And my boat and I are ready to set sail

If the weather keeps on holding and the wind is right

I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight

 

And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night

Cast out our fortunes on the sea

Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water

And dream of how our life will someday be

When she sailed away with me

 

As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full

My mind is on the one I wait to see

And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind

Where someday I will take her off with me

 

And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night

Cast out our fortunes on the sea

Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water

And dream of how our life will someday be

When she sailed away with me

 

Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow

And I see a lady on the side

But she will wait no more as I head for the shore

Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride

 

And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night

Cast out our fortunes on the sea

Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water

And dream of how our life will someday be

When she sails away

 

We will sail away on the wings of love into the night

Cast out our fortunes on the sea

Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water

And dream of how our life will someday be

When she sails away

 

We will sail away on the wings of love into the night

Cast out our fortunes on the sea

If By Ruyard Kipling

 

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

 

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

"Country Roads"

 

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

 

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

 

All my memories, gather 'round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes

 

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

 

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour she calls me

Radio reminds me of my home far away

Drivin' down the road I get a feelin'

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

 

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

 

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

 

Take me home, down country roads

Take me home, down country roads
