I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style, And so I came to see her, To listen for a while . . . And there she was this young girl, A stranger to my eyes . . . Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly, with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly, with her song . . . I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt she found my letters, And read each one aloud . . . I prayed that she would finish, But she just kept right on . . . Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly, with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly, with her song . . . She sang as if she knew me, In all my dark despair, And then she looked right through me, As if I wasn't there . . . But she was there, this stranger, Singing clear and strong . . . Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly, with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly, with her song . . . Killing me softly, with her song . . . |

Don't look so sad, I know it's over,
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning. Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together, There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning. Lay your head upon my pillow, Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window, And make believe you love me one more time, For the good times . . . I'll get along, you'll find another, And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me, Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever, There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me . . . Lay your head upon my pillow, Hold your warm and tender body close to mine, Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window, And make believe you love me one more time, For the good times . . . For the good times . . . Words and Music by Kris Kristofferson |

And Aubrey was her name,
And not so very ordinary girl, or name . . . But who's to blame, For a love that wouldn't bloom, For the hearts that never played in tune ? Like a lovely melody, That everyone can sing, Take away the words that rhyme. It doesn't mean a thing . . . hmmmm And Aubrey was her name, We tripped the light, And danced together to the moon, But where was June ? No, it never came around, If it did, it never made a sound . . . Maybe I was absent, Or was listening too fast, Catching all the words, But then, the meaning going past . . . hmmmm Oh, how I miss the girl, And I'd go a thousand times around the world, Just to be, Closer to her, than to me. And Aubrey was her name, I never knew her, But I loved her just the same, I loved her name . . . Wish that I had found a way, And the reasons that would make her stay . . . I have learned to lead a life, Apart from all the rest, If I can't have the one I want. I'll go without the best . . . hmmmm Oh, how I miss the girl, And I'd go a million times around the world, Just to say, She had been mine for a day! Words and Music by David A. Gates |

I wanna give,
I wanna give my love to you completely, I beg of you, I beg of you to listen to my heart! I've never prayed like this before, And I'm askin' you not to close the door, For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters, If you just let me! ( repeat last verse ) I wanna give, I wanna give you all the strength within me, To make a world, To make a world that cannot fall apart! And you can sit upon a throne, Oh I'll give it all just for you alone, For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters, If you just let me! ( repeat last verse ) Words and Music by Gene Nash, J. Eduardo Ruben Carballo, and Enrique Raul De Jesus ( J. Marcelo ) |

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree, It's been three long years, Do you still want me ?

I thought about walkin'
Thought about talkin' Thought about singin' Singin' the blues! Thought about cryin' Once I even thought of dyin' But baby, most of all, I thought about you! Thought of just bein' People I'm seein' Thought about doin' The things that they do . . . Thought about livin' Thought about forgivin' But baby, most of all, I thought about you! < instrumental verse > Thought about just bein' People I'm seein' Thought about doin' The things that they do . . . Thought about livin' Thought about forgivin' But baby, most of all, I thought about you! But baby, most of all, Yes, I thought about you! Thought about you . . . Words and Music by Ronald E. McCown |

Something's missin', when you hold me,
You don't whisper that you're mine, Oh it all seems to fall into line! Every promise that you make me, Breaks like bubbles in the wine, And it all seems to fall into line! In a fog that isn't lifting, We are drifting apart, I can see someone's replaced me in your heart! There's a coolness in your kisses, That is only one more sign, How it all seems to fall into line! < instrumental verse > In a fog that isn't lifting, We are drifting apart, I can see someone's replaced me in your heart! There's a coolness in your kisses, That is only one more sign, How it all seems to fall into line! Yes it all seems to fall into line! Music by Ben Weisman with lyrics by Al Stillman |

I believe in music,
I believe in love, love, love! I believe in music, I believe in love! Well I can just sit around makin' music all day long, Long as I'm makin' music, I can't do nobody no wrong! And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song, That makes people want to stop their fussin' an' fightin' Long enough to sing along! I believe in music, I believe in love . . . I believe in music, I believe in love! Music is love, love is music, if you know what I mean, People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen! So clap your hands an' stomp your feet, shake your tambourine, ( Lift your voices to the sky ) God loves you when you sing! I believe in music, I believe in love . . . I believe in music, I believe in love! Music is the universal language and love is the key, To brotherhood an' peace an' understandin' to live in harmony! So, take your brothers by the hand and sing along with me, Find out what it really means to be young, rich an' free! I believe in music, I believe in love . . . I believe in music, I believe in love! I believe in music, I believe in love . . . I believe in music, I believe in love! I believe in music, I believe in love . . . Words and Music by Mac Davis , 1972 |

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed Nothin' seems to fit Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin' So I just did me some talkin' to the sun And I said I didn't like the way he got things done Sleepin' on the job Those raindrops are fallin' on my head they keep fallin' But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me Raindrops keep fallin' on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin red Cryin's not for me Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin' Because I'm free Nothin's worryin' me Nothin's worryin' me But there's one thing I know The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me Raindrops keep fallin' on my head But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin red Cryin's not for me Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin' Because I'm free Nothin's worryin' me Nothin's worryin' me |

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover, Something in the way she woos me . . . I don't wanna leave her now, You know I believe in how . . . Don't wanna leave her now . . . Somewhere in her smile she knows, That I don't need no other lover, Something in her style that shows me . . . I don't wanna leave her now, You know I believe in how . . . Don't wanna leave her now . . . You're asking me will my love grow, I don't know, I don't know . . .

Snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! ) With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! ) Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean, The unborn grass lies waitin' for it's coat to turn to green! The snowbird sings the song he always sings, And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring! When I was young, my heart was young then too, Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do. But now I feel such emptiness within, For the thing I want the most in life is the thing that I can't win! ( spread your tiny wings and fly away . . . And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day! ) The one I love forever is untrue, And if I could you know I that would fly away with you! The breeze along the river seems to say, That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay! So little snowbird take me with you when you go, To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow! < repeat last two verses > If I could, you know that I would fly away with you! Snowbird ( snowbird ) Come fly away! ( come fly away! ) With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! ) Little snowbird ( snowbird ) Come fly away! ( come fly away! ) With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! ) Little snowbird ( snowbird ) Come fly away . . . |

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
Yes, I would, If I could, I surely would . . . hmm I'd rather be a hammer than a nail, Yes, I would, If I only could, I surely would . . . hmm Away, I'd rather sail away, Like a swan that's here and gone . . . A man gets tied up to the ground, He gives the world it's saddest sound, It's saddest sound . . . hmm < instrumental break > I'd rather be a forest than a street, Yes, I would, If I could, I surely would . . . hmm I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet, 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 tied up to the ground, He gives the world it's saddest sound, It's saddest sound . . . < instrumental break > I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet, Yes, I would, If I only could, I surely would . . . Yes I would . . . Original English Lyrics by Paul Simon Arrangement of 18th Century Peruvian folk melody by Jorge Milchberg Notated in 1916 by Daniel Alomias Robles |

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near Just like me they long to be close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by Just like me they long to be close to you On the day that you were born The angels got together An decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold An starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the boys in town Follow you all around Just like me they long to be close to you On the day that you were born The angels got together An decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold An starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the boys in town Follow you all around Just like me they long to be close to you Why Close to you Why Close to you Why Close to you Just like me they long to be Close to you Close to you close to you |

I'm sleepin'
An' right in the middle of a good dream Like all at once I wake up From somethin' that keeps knockin' at my brain Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head An' spring up in my bed Screamin' out the words I dread I think I love you! ( I think I love you! ) This mornin' I woke up with this feelin' I didn't know how to deal with An' so I just decided to myself I'd hide it to myself An' never talk about it An' didn't I go and shout it When you walked into my room I think I love you! ( I think I love you! ) I think I love you! So what am I so afraid of? I'm afraid that I'm not sure of A love there is no cure for! I think I love you! Isn't that what life is made of? Though it worries me to say That I never felt this way! < instrumental break > ( I don't know what I'm up against I don't know what it's all about I got so much to think about ) Hey! I think I love you So what am I so afraid of? I'm afraid that I'm not sure of A love there is no cure for! I think I love you! Isn't that what life is made of? Though it worries me to say That I never felt this way! Believe me You really didn't have to worry I only wanna make ya happy An' if you say "hey! go away!" I will But I think better Still, I'd better stay around an' love you Do you think I have a chance? Let me ask you to your face Do you think you love me? I think I love you! ( do you think you love me? ) I think I love you! ( do you think you love me? ) I think I love you! ( do you think you love me? ) I think I love you! |
