Yesterday - the Beatles


Yesterday, All my troubles seemed
so far away, Now it looks as though they're
here to stay, Oh, I believe  in
yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Ooh yesterday
Came suddenly

Why she had to go
I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long     
For yesterday

Yesterday 

Love was such an easy game to play 

Now I need a place to hide away 

Oh, I believe in yesterday 

 

Why she had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long     
For yesterday

Yesterday 

Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

The wild rover - The Dubliners

 

I've been a wild rover for many a year

I spent all me money on whiskey and beer

But now I'm returning with gold in great store

And I never will play the wild rover no more

 

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent

And I told the landlady me money was spent

I asked her a bottle, she answered me "Nay!"

"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"

 

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight

She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!

And the words that I told you were only in jest!"

 

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

 

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done

And ask them to pardon their prodigal son

And when they've caressed me as oftimes before

I never will play the wild rover no more.

  

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

(Sittin’ on) the dock of the Bay - Otis Redding

 

Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come

Watching the ships roll in

And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

 

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

 

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the 'Frisco bay

I've had nothing to live for

Look like nothin's gonna come my way

 

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

 

Look like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

 

Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

 

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

My Bonnie lies over the Ocean - traditional Scottish folksong

   

My bonnie lies over the ocean, 

My bonnie lies over the sea. 

My bonnie lies over the ocean 

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me. 

  

Bring back, bring back, 

Oh, bring back my bonnie to me, to me! 

Bring back, bring back, 

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me. 

 

Last night as I lay on my pillow, 

Last night as I lay on my bed

Last night as I lay on my pillow 

I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead

 

Bring back, bring back, 

Oh, bring back my bonnie to me, to me! 

Bring back, bring back, 

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me. 

The winds have gone over the ocean,

The winds have gone over the sea

The winds have gone over the ocean 

And brought back my Bonnie to me. 

 

Brought back, Brought back,

Oh, brought back my bonnie to me, to me! 

Brought back, Brought back,

Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Crazy Little thing called Love - Queen 

 

This thing called love

I just can't handle it

This thing called love

I must get 'round to it

I ain't ready

Crazy little thing called love

 

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)

It cries (like a baby), in a cradle all night

It swings (woo), it jives (woo)

Shakes all over like a jellyfish

I kinda like it

Crazy little thing called love

 

There goes my baby

She knows how to rock and roll

She drives me crazy

She gives me hot and cold fever

She leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

 

I gotta be cool, relax

Get hip and get on my tracks

Take a back seat, hitchhike

And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I'm ready

Crazy little thing called love

 

I gotta be cool, relax

Get hip and get on my tracks

Take a back seat, hitchhike

And take a long ride on my motorbike

Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)

Crazy little thing called love

Bye bye love - Everly Brothers

 

There goes my baby with someone new

She sure looks happy, I sure am blue

She was my baby till he stepped in

Goodbye to romance that might have been

 

 

Bye bye love                Bye bye happiness

Hello loneliness                I think I'm-a gonna cry-y

Bye bye love                Bye bye sweet caress

Hello emptiness                I feel like I could die-e

Bye bye my love goodby-eye

 

 

I'm a-through with romance, I'm a-through with love. 

I'm through with-a countin'  the stars above 

And here's reason that I'm so free: 

My lovin' baby is a-through with me. 

 

Bye bye, love……

Blowin’ in the wind - Bob Dylan

 

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly

Before they're forever banned?

 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

 

Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist

Before it is washed to the sea?

And how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free?

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head

And pretend that he just doesn't see?

 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

 

Yes, and how many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

And how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows

That too many people have died?

 

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

House of the rising sun - The Animals

 

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

Dear God, I know I was one

 

My mother was a tailor

She sewed my new blue jeans

And my father was a gamblin' man

Way down in New Orleans

 

And the only thing a gambler needs

Is a suitcase and a trunk

And the only time he's satisfied

Is when he's a drunk

 

Oh, mother, tell your children

Not to do what I have done

To spend your lives in sin and misery

In the house of the rising sun

 

I got one foot on the platform

And another on the train

And I'm going back to New Orleans

To wear that ball and chain

 

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

Dear God, I know I was one

Dear God, I know I was the one

Ooh, yeah, gotta get a feeling

Ooh, yeah, come along too

Woo

Come a-, come along too, yeah

Come a-, come a-, come a-, come along

Always remember us this way - Lady Gaga

 

That Arizona sky burnin' in your eyes

You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire

It's buried in my soul like California gold

You found the light in me that I couldn't find

So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye Baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down And the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way

 

Lovers in the night

Poets tryin' to write

We don't know how to rhyme

But, damn, we try

But all I really know

You're where I wanna go

The part of me that's you will never die

So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye Baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down And the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way

 

Oh, yeah

I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo

 

So when I'm all choked up And I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye Baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down And the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way, way, yeah

When you look at me

And the whole world fades

I'll always remember us this way

Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield

Billy Ray was the preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered 'round and started talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'

Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'

Then he'd look into my eyes

Lord knows, to my surprise

 

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was

 

Being good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try

When he started sweet-talkin' to me

He'd come and tell me "Everything is alright"

He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is alright"

Can I get away again tonight?

 

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, ooh, Lord knows, he was

 

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Takin' time to make time

Tellin' me that he's all mine

Learnin' from each other's knowin'

Lookin' to see how much we've grown and

 

The only one who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, yes, he was

Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

 

I heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this, The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled King composing "Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not someone who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

California Dreamin’ - The Mamas & The Papas

 

All the leaves are brown And the sky is gray 

I've been for a walk On a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A. 

California dreamin' On such a winter's day

 

Stopped into a church I passed along the way

Well, I got down on my knees And I pretend to pray 

You know the preacher like the cold 

He knows I'm gonna stay

California dreamin’ On such a winter's day

 

All the leaves are brown And the sky is gray

I've been for a walk  On a winter's day 

If I didn't tell her  I could leave today 

California dreamin’ On such a winter's day

California dreamin’ On such a winter's day

Thinking out loud - Ed Sheeran

 

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking 'bout how

People fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well, me, I fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

 

So, honey, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are

 

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades

And the crowds don't remember my name

When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mhm

I know you will still love me the same

 

Cause, honey, your soul

Could never grow old, it's evergreen

And, baby, your smile's

Forever in my mind and memory

I'm thinking 'bout how

People fall in love in mysterious ways

And maybe it's all part of a plan

Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes

Hoping that you'll understand

 

That, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

And maybe we found love right where we are, 

 

So, baby, now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are

Oh, baby, we found love right where we are

And we found love right where we are

Country roads - John Denver

 

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 mama

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, teardrop in my eye

 

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama

Take me home, country roads

 

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

The radio reminds me of my home far away

Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'

That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

The Rose - Bette Midler

 

Some say, "Love. It is a river

That drowns the tender reed"

Some say, "Love. It is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed"

Some say, "Love. It is a hunger

An endless aching need"

I say, "Love. It is a flower

And you its only seed"

 

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dyin'

That never learns to live

 

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose

And the rock was formed when you held my hand.

Sunny one so true, I love you.

Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace.

The dark days are gone  The bright days are here sunny want shine.

With other without you - U2

 

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

With or without you, With or without you

 

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I`m waiting for you

With or without you With or without you

I can`t live

With or without you And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, And you give

And you give yourself away

 

My hands are tied

My body bruised, she`s got me with

Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give And you give

And you give yourself away

 

With or without you With or without you

I can't live………

Rolling in the deep - Adele

 

There’s a fire starting in my heart.
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear.
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.
See how I leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love, remind me of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless    I can't help feeling...

We could have had it all... (you're gonna wish you, never had met me)...
Rolling in the Deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart..(you're gonna wish you) Inside of your hand (Never had met me)
And you played it... (Tears are gonna fall)... To the beat (Rolling in the deep)

Baby I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn.
Think of me in the depths of your despair.
Making a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared.
The scars of your love, remind you of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless    I can't help feeling...

We could have had it all... (you're gonna wish you never had met me)...
Rolling in the Deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart. (you're gonna wish you).. inside of your hand (Never had met me)
And you played it... (Tears are gonna fall)... To the beat (Rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all    Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with your beating

Throw your soul through every open door (Whoa)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (Whoa-uh)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (Whoa)
And pay me back in kind- You reap just what you sow.

You're gonna wish you... Never had met me
Tears are gonna fall... Rolling in the deep
We could have had it all Rolling int he deep
You had my heart inside of your hand,
But you played it with your beating
