First in line - Elvis

When they gave out eyes like diamonds
That would shame the stars that shine
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line
When they gave out LIPS like honey
That hold a new thrill every time
My darling, my darling
You were the first in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first, and the last in line
There may be others that know you longer
Who pledge their hearts to you
But there's no other could love you stronger
Any stronger than I do
Don't refuse me, say you'll choose me
I am yours, oh, please be mine
My darling, say I'm your darling
The first, and the last in line

Halfway to paradise - Billy Fury

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your LIPS to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Oh, oh, oh so near, yet so far away
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Do you remember - The Beach Boys

Little Richard sang it and Dick Clark brought it to life
Danny and the Juniors hit a groove, stuck as sharp as a knife

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us ROCK-and-roll?

Chuck Berry's got to be the greatest thing that came along
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)
He made the guitar beats and wrote the all-time greatest song
(Hum diddy waddy, hum diddy wadda)

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Hum diddy waddy doo)

Elvis Presley is the king
He's the giant of the day
Paved the way for the rock-and-roll stars
Yeah, the critics kept a-knocking
But the stars kept a-rocking
And the chopping didn't get very far
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
Nothing's really moving until the saxophone's ready to blow
(Do you remember, do you remember?)
And the beat's not jumping until the drummer says he's ready to go
(Do you remember, do you remember?)

Well now, do you remember all the guys that gave us rock-and-roll?
(Do you remember?)

Let's hear the high voice wail (oooooooooo)
And hear the voice down low (wah-ah ah-ah)
Let's hear the background
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll
Um diddy wadda, um diddy wadda
They gave us rock-and-roll

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(And when you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It's gotta be ROCK’n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

My friend Sam is a chauffeur, Annie goes to school
Jerry works at the office, Sue lies by the pool
But on all weekends
(Together again)
When I meet my friends
(I'm gonna see them now)
And we're lookin' round for the action we sure play it cool

It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
You paint your world and use all colours
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And then you find it all comes out too bright
You know it's only a lie
Ah-haa (ah-haa, ah-haa)
The songs you sing are too romantic
Ah-haa (ah-haa)
And when you want the truth
They only spit in your eye
Oh yeah, they're only telling you lies
Oh yeah, there's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

You feel bad, let me tell you, we all get the blues
Sometimes life is a burden, weighed down in your shoes
When it's bad, worse, worst
(You know you're feeling so bad)
And you think you're cursed
(And you've got it sad)
Well, if there's one thing for the better that can turn you loose

It's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll
To fill the hole in your soul

There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul
There's gotta be rock'n roll...
To fill the hole in your soul

Only yesterday - Carpenters

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time, nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do
Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of mornin' light
Filling the world surroundin' me
When I hold you
BABY, BABY, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us, share it with me
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to see
When I hold you
Baby, baby, feels like maybe
Things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love's made me
Free as a song, singin' forever
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow maybe even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only yesterday (only yesterday, only yesterday)
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

The Race is on - Suzi Quatro


only registered users can see external links


Go ahead and laugh at me
Try to be the man you want to be.
Baby it's not hard to see what's going on.
Well maybe we should celebrate
Drink champagne.
Why should we wait.
Why don't we ask some friends around.
They can help us play this game we've found.
Hey let's bring everybody down.
Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for.
Here we stand like a couple of fools.
And the race is on.
HAND in hand as we break the rules.
And the race is on.
What's the cost to the one who's lost.
When the race goes wrong.
You may say why begin when we both can't win.
But the race goes on.
Hand in hand like a couple of fools
And the race is on.
Well surprise surprise a few more lies.
Or do we simply call them alibis.
This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us:
Oh and while we're having so much fun let's not forget
The lonely ones.
Slowly falling out of love.
This game we play can be so rough
Now maybe we've gone far enough.
But are you sure you know what we're heading for.
Here we stand...

Living together, growing together - From the film ‘Lost Horizon’

A terrible 1973 film but some of the songs still haunt me.

only registered users can see external links


Start with a man and you have one.
Add on a woman and then you have two.

Add on a child and what have you got?
You've got more than three.
You've got what they call a family.

Living TOGETHER, Growing Together, just being together,
That's how it starts.
Three loving hearts all
Pulling together, working together, just building together,
That makes you strong.
If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow,
Living and growing together.

It just takes wood to build a house.
Fill it with people and you have a home.
Fill it with love and people take root.
It's just like a tree
Where each branch becomes a family that's
Living Together, Growing Together, just being together,
That's how it starts.
Three loving hearts all
Pulling together, working together, just building together,
That makes you strong.
If things go wrong we'll

Still get along somehow,

Living and growing together.

Living Together, Growing Together, just being together,
That's how it starts.
Three loving hearts all
Pulling together, working together, just building together,
That makes you strong.
If things go wrong we'll still get along somehow,
Living and growing
Just like we're doing now, together.

Let me say
Since, since we've been TOGETHER
Uh, loving you forever is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Oh, baby, let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
It's alright with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you
Let me say
Since, since we've been together
Uh, loving you forever is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Oh, baby, let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

(Good or bad, happy or sad)

Why, oh, tell me, why do people break up
And turn around and make up?
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you, baby?
Being around you is all I see

So, baby, let's we all stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Let's (let's stay together) stay together
Loving you whether
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

(Let's stay together) stay together

Crying in the chapel - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord
Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day
I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
(One accord)
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord
You'll SEARCH and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind
Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
(Knees and pray)
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way
(And you'll surely find the way)

My first thought. Well played.


It’ll be me - Cliff Richard

If you hear somebody knocking on your door
If you see somebody crawlin' across the floor
Baby it'll be me
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Well if you see somebody climbin' up a telegraph pole
If you find a new lump in your sugar bowl
Baby it'll be me
Yeah I'll be lookin' for you
I'm gonna SEARCH in the mountain
Down in the deep blue sea
I'm gonna search the countryside
And look and look in every tree
If you find a new bait on your fishing hook
If you find a funny face in your comic book
Baby it'll be me
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Ah, keep on lookin' there now
I'm gonna look in the city
Where the lights are blue
I'm gonna search in the forests
And the haystacks too
If you something shooting out across the stars
If you see a rocket ship on it's way to Mars
Baby it'll be me
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Yeah, I'll be lookin' for you
Oh, I'll be lookin' for you

Oh wow !!!! How did I forget that ?

Your whip cracking, this could be painful

Both ends of the candle burnt by the flame
Yeah I love it when you call my name, n-n-name

I hear the SOUND of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go and you must stay
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the time we can before it's too late
Love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me
I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And if they call, then I must go
Across the sea, so wild and grey
So Mary, marry me, let's not wait
For the distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
If you love me, Mary, Mary, marry me

On the radio - Donna Summer


only registered users can see external links


Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name, but I knew just who they meant
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too
If, by chance, you heard it for yourself
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Now, now, don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our SONG?
Things are not the same since we broke up last June
The only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still
And that you think you'll be comin' home real soon
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, it kinda made me feel proud when I heard him say
You couldn't find the words to say it yourself
And now in my heart, I know I can say what I really feel
'Cause they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio
If you think that love isn't found on the radio
Then tune right in, you may find the love you lost
'Cause now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
It sounded really loud, he said it really loud
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh

I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
I love you in the songs, I write and sing
Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS cheques, that you bring
Cheap, never cheap
I'll sing you SONGS till you're asleep
When you've gone upstairs I'll creep
And write it all down, down, down, down
Oh Shirley, oh Deborah, oh Julie, oh Jane
I wrote so many songs about you
I forget your name, I forget your name
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name
I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry
Deep so deep, the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep, so cry, lovey cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh Cathy, oh Alison, oh Phillipa, oh Sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too

Word of the day for Saturday June 21st - SONG

All I meant was that you chose ‘almost’ as word of the day and I posted the lowest of low hanging fruit in a song entitled ‘Almost’ , so I was not in a position to judge anyone’s selections. Nothing else.

Loving you - Francoise Hardy

[Verse 1]
I will spend my whole life through
Loving you, loving you
Winter, summer, springtime too
Loving you, loving you
Makes no difference where I go
Or what I do
You know that I'll ALWAYS be
Loving you, just you

[Verse 2]
If I'm seen with someone new
Don't be blue, don't be blue
I'll be faithful, I'll be true
Always true, true to you
There is only one for me
And you know who
You know that I'll always be
Loving you

Lucky Lips - Cliff Richard


only registered users can see external links


When I was just a little baby I didn't have many toys,
But my mama used to say, son, you've got more than other boys.
Now you may not be good looking,
And you may not be too rich.
But you'll never ever be alone,
Cause you've got lucky lips.

Lucky lips are always kissing
Lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true.
Don't need a four-leaf clover,
Rabbit's foot or a good look charm.
With lucky lips you'll ALWAYS have,
A baby in your arms.

Now I never get heartbroken,
No, I never get the blues.
And if I play that game of love I know I just can't lose.
When they spin that wheel of fortune,
All I do is kiss my chips,
And I know I'm 'bout to win, Yeah!
Cause I've got lucky lips.

Lucky lips are always kissing,
Lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true.
Don't need a four-leaf clover,
Rabbit's foot or a good look charm.
With lucky lips you'll always have,
A baby in your arms.

Oh, lucky lips are always kissing,
Lucky lips are never blue.
Lucky lips will always find a pair of lips so true.
Don't need a four-leaf clover,
Rabbit's foot or a good look charm.
With lucky lips you'll always have,
A baby in your arms.

Oh I dare not judge you after posting 'Almost' as my first song yesterday.

Word of the day for Friday 20th June - ALWAYS

I wish it were me - Francoise Hardy


only registered users can see external links


By the way she was smiling, with her eyes so beguiling
I could tell at a glance that I hadn't a chance

She is ALMOST too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be looking my way

It's a strange fascination to be faced with temptation
Should you answer her call, are you going to fall?

She is almost too lovely but I wish it were me
Then I know you'd only want to be falling for me

What would I do, were I in her place?
When love is new, it's so hard to face

Is her love so much stronger that you want me no longer
Has she taken my place with her sweet angel face

She is almost too lovely, still I wish it were me
Then you might know how it feels when you're trying to hide
All of the pain that you made my heart suffer inside

I should put this right

Almost - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


We ALMOST shared a dream
We almost made it as a team
How nice it would have been
We almost touched the stars
And there stood heaven, almost ours
We were just outsiders looking in
We had the chance to fall
But fate stepped in to end it all
Before it could begin
And if it's true, you're really going
There's nothing but goodbye to say
The saddest part of all is knowing
We almost went all the way..

Strawberry fields forever - The Beatles

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is REAL
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
No one I think is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know, I know when it's a dream
I think I know, I mean a yes
But it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever
Strawberry fields forever

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

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
Little high, little low
Any way 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, ooh, 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, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna 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, 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?
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
No, we will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (never, never, never, never let me go)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Do not forsake me - Frankie Laine

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
On this, our weddin' day
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
WAIT, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave
And I must face a man who hates me
Or lie a coward, a craven coward
Or lie a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn 'tweenst love and duty
Supposin' I lose my fair-haired beauty
Look at that big hand move along
Nearin' high noon

He made a vow while in state prison
Vowed it would be my life or his, and
I'm not afraid of death, but, oh
What shall I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
You made that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin'
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Now that I need you by my side

Wait along (wait along), wait along
Wait along (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)

It’s gonna take some time this time- Carpenters


only registered users can see external links


It's gonna take some TIME this time
To get myself in shape
I really fell out of line this time
I really missed the gate
The birds on the telephone line (next time)
Are cryin' out to me (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time
And I'll find some harmony
But it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
But, like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time
And I can't make demands
I'll learn how to bend
It's going to take some time this time
No matter what I've planned
But like the young trees in the winter time
I'll learn how to bend
After all the tears we've spent
How could we make amends?
So, it's one more round for experience
And I'm on the road again
And it's going to take some time this time

Old friends - Simon and Garfunkel

Old friends
Old friends
Sat on their park bench like bookends
A newspaper blowin' through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends

Old friends
Winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust
On the shoulders of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fear

A TIME it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences

Long ago it must be
I have a photograph
Preserve your memories
They're all that's left you

Word of the day for Sunday 15th June - TIME

The Millionaire - Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show


only registered users can see external links


I'm not a bad person
I don't drink, and I don't kill
I got no evil habits
And I probably never will
I don't sing like Elvis Presley (ah, hey, hey)
I can't dance like Fred Astaire
But there's one thing in my favor (oh, yeah)
(I'm a millionaire) I'm a millionaire
And I got more MONEY
Than a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died
And answered all my prayers
But having all this money
Is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me, honey
To help me spread it around
I could get myself a nose job
I could diet for a year
But I'll never be Justin Bieber
'Cause I'm much too fond of beer
Please don't misunderstand me
It's not your love I'm trying to buy
It's just I got all this here money
And I'm a pretty ugly guy
And I got more money, huh
Than a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died
And answered all my prayers
But having all this money
Is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me, honey
To help me spread it around
And I don't mind if you love me for my money
If you love me for whatever else I got
But except for all this stuff, I'm a lonely Fort Knox
I don't guess I'm doing all that hot, no
But I got more money
Than a horse has hairs
'Cause my rich old uncle died
And answered all my prayers
But having all this money
Is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me, honey
To help me spread it around
We gotta spread it around, and around, and around
I got so much (money)
I got a whole lot of (money)
I got too much (money)
I got a train full of (money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got a plane full (money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got a bar full of (money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got a car full of (money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got a school full of (money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
A swimming pool full of (money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got so much (money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got too much (money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got so much (money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
I got too much (money, money, money, money, money, money, money)
But having all this money
Is gonna bring me down
If you ain't with me, honey
To help me spread it around, ah, hey
I got so much money
Thank you

Ka-ching - Shania Twain

We live in a greedy little world
That teaches every little boy and girl
To earn as much as they can possibly
Then turn around and spend it foolishly
We've created us a credit card mess
We spend the MONEY that we don't possess
Our religion is to go and blow it all
So we're shoppin' every Sunday at the mall

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

(Ka-ching!)
Can you hear it ring? (Ka-ching!)
It makes you wanna sing (Ka-ching!)
It's such a beautiful thing
Ka-ching! (Ka-ching!)
Lots of diamond rings (Ka-ching!)
The happiness it brings (Ka-ching!)
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

When you're broke, go and get a loan
Take out another mortgage on your home
Consolidate so you can afford
To go and spend some more when you get bored

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

(Ka-ching!)
Can you hear it ring? (Ka-ching!)
It makes you wanna sing (Ka-ching!)
It's such a beautiful thing
Ka-ching! (Ka-ching!)
Lots of diamond rings (Ka-ching!)
The happiness it brings (Ka-ching!)
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things
Let's swing

Dig deeper in your pocket
Ooh, yeah, ah
Come on, I know you've got it
Dig deeper in your wallet
Oh

All we ever want is more
A lot more than we had before
So take me to the nearest store

(Ka-ching!)
Can you hear it ring? (Ka-ching!)
It makes you wanna sing (Ka-ching!)
It's such a beautiful thing
Ka-ching! (Ka-ching!)
Lots of diamond rings (Ka-ching!)
The happiness it brings (Ka-ching!)
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things (Ka-ching!)
Can you hear it ring? (Ka-ching!)
It makes you wanna sing (Ka-ching!)
You'll live like a king
With lots of money and things

Ka-ching!

For ol' times sake - Elvis


only registered users can see external links


Before you go walk out on me
Take a look around tell me what you see
Here I stand like an open book
Is there something here you might have overlooked
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
The years we had were not all bad
In fact I know the GOOD outweighed the bad
Now you say that you've grown tired
You want to be by yourself a while
It would be a shame if you should go
And find that freedom was a long time ago
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
They just keep on drivin' us apart
You could go where I could never find you
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart
So one more time, for ol' times sake
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Please don't throw this moment away
We can forget the bad and take the best
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
If you don't have nothing left to say
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake

We’ve got tonight - Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton

[Kenny Rogers:]
I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see

Why should we worry?
No one will care, girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

We've got tonight
Who needs TOMORROW?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay?

[Sheena Easton & Kenny Rogers:]
Deep in my soul
I feel so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

[Kenny Rogers:]
So there it is, girl
We've got it all now

[Sheena Easton:]
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

[Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton:]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

[Kenny Rogers (Sheena Easton) {Both}:]
I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
(Still here we are)
{Both of us lonely, both of us lonely}

We've got tonight
(Who needs tomorrow?)
Let's make it last
(Let's find a way)
Turn out the light, (oh, come take my hand now)
{We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?}
{We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?}

It starts with just a little glance now
Right away you're thinkin' 'bout romance now
You know you ought to take it slower
But you just can't wait to get to know her

A brand new love affair is such a beautiful thing
But if you're not careful think about the pain it can bring

It makes you feel so bad
It makes your heart feel sad
It makes your days go wrong
It makes your nights so long

You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone TOMORROW
It's here and gone so fast

Right now you think that she's perfection
This time is really an exception
Well, you know I hate to be a downer
But I'm the guy she left before you found her

Well, I'm not saying you won't have a good love with her
But I keep on remembering things like they were

She made me feel so bad
She made my heart feel sad
She made my days go wrong
And made my nights so long

You've got to keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Keep in mind love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast

Love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so fast
Love is here today
And it's gone tomorrow
It's here and gone so

A fool am I - Agnetha Falkstog

This time, your story had better be good
Or I may leave you, like I know I should
You say you've missed me
While I've been away
Where d'you go, and who with?
That's what I'd like to know

You have the nerve to run out like you do
You don't deserve all the love I give you

Fool am I
What a POOR little fool am I
Oh why can't I strong enough, long enough
To say that we're through
Fool am I
Just a poor little fool am I
But I can't get it understood, you're no good
What can I do, I can't stop loving you

Tell me you love me
Take me and show me
Make me forgive you again

Fool am I
Just a poor little fool am I
But I can't get it understood, you're no good
What can I do, I can't stop loving you

Oh, tell me you love me
Take me and show me
Make me forgive you again

Fool am I
What a poor little fool am I
Oh why can't I strong enough, long enough
To say that we're through
Fool am I
Just a poor little fool am I
But I can't get it understood, you're no good
What can I do, I can't stop loving you
(A fool am I)
