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

OMHOOG 

Sunny - Bobby Hebb

 

 

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.

Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.

The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere. Sunny one so true, I love you.

 

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.

Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.

You gave to me your all and all.   

(And) Now I feel like ten feet tall.  

Sunny one so true, I love you.

 

Sunny, sunny thank you for the truth you let me see.

Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to C.

My life was torn like a   windblown sand

And the rock was formed when you held my hand.

Sunny one so true, I love you.

 

Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face.

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

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

Sunny one so true, I love you

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………

Flowers - Miley Cyrus 

 

We were good, we were gold Kinda dream that can't be sold

We were right 'til we weren’t Built a home and watched it burn

Mm, I didn't wanna leave you I didn't wanna lie

Started to cry, but then remembered I

 

I can buy myself flowers Write my name in the sand

Talk to myself for hours Say things you don't understand

I can take myself dancing And I can hold my own hand

Yeah, I can love me better than you can

 

Can love me better I can love me better, baby

Can love me better I can love me better, baby

 

Paint my nails cherry red Match the roses that you left

No remorse, no regret I forgive every word you said

Ooh, I didn't wanna leave you, baby I didn't wanna fight

Started to cry, but then remembered I

 

I can buy myself flowers Write my name in the sand

Talk to myself for hours, yeah Say things you don't understand

I can take myself dancing, yeah I can hold my own hand

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
