THIS WILL BE THE YEAR
Toast to me, hold up my glass, to all mistakes I've made.
Good intentions washed away, as soon as spring time came.
I danced a summer, fell an autumn, another candle blown.
Now winter's come around again, and back where I began.
And even though you heard it all, I know you don't believe.
Let me keep the last thing left for me.
This will be the year, the year
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e59070-susan_boyle~this_will_be_the_year_lyrics.html ]
The year I learn to take some time, to stop and breathe it in.
To keep a promise to myself, to finish what I begin.
Bad habits stop, no more regrets, a step out of the red.
Open arms and an open heart to all that lies ahead.
And even though you've heard it all, and I know you don't believe,
Let me keep the last thing left for me.
This will be the year, the year.
My faith carries me, I'll keep holding on.
And I will (?) to find me, what I've been doing wrong.
I know you don't believe, but just for me, can't you pretend?
That you'll never ever hear me say these words again.
I know this time I won't be late, this time I will arrive.
Save my tears, save my doubts, this time I will try.
I know I can be better, I promise I'll be strong.
I'll make (?) where I had been, seeing all alone.
I know you've heard it all before, and I know you don't believe,
But let me keep the last thing left for me.
This will be the year, the year.
RETURN
Return, Return to me
Don’t leave me here
With nothing but the feeling of falling
Return
Return to me
A memory
Can hold me in his arms in the morning
You know with all that I’ ve enjoyed
You were my strength and more
Knowing your gone
But I pray for your return
Return to me
Don’t let me be
Alone without the hope that your love brings
I know the world sees what it wants to see
But only you knew me
I sing to you and the memories
Return
Return to me
Don’t let anyone anything come between us
Return
Just promise me
That Forever
It follows everything I do
Forever
if ever I should break in two
Forever
I will wait till you
Return Return.
"Lilac Wine" is a song written by
James Shelton (words and music) in 1950
Lilac Wine-
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
Like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
Like my love
Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn't that she, coming to me
Nearly here
Lilac wine is sweet and heady,
Where's my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady,
Where's my love
Listen to me, why is everything so hazy
Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
Feel unready, for my love.
"Autumn" Paolo Nutini written for his grandfather who had passed....
Autumn leaves under frozen souls,
Hungry hands turning soft and old,
My hero cried as we stood out there in the cold,
Like these autumn leaves I don't have nothing to hold.
Handsome smile, wearing handsome shoes,
Too young to say, though I swear he knew,
And I hear him singing while he sits there in his chair,
While these autumn leaves float around everywhere.
And I look at you, and I see me,
Making noise so restlessly,
But now it's quiet and I can hear you sing,
'My little fish don't cry, my little fish don't cry.'
Autumn leaves have faded now,
That smile I lost, well I've found somehow,
Because you still live on in my father's eyes,
These autumn leaves, all these autumn leave, all these autumn leaves are yours tonight.
Mmmmmmm....
Originally it was a 1945 French song "Les Feuilles mortes" (literally "The Dead Leaves") with music by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by poet Jacques Prévert. Yves Montand (with Irène Joachim) introduced "Les feuilles mortes" in 1946 in the film Les Portes de la Nuit.[1] The American songwriter Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics in 1947 and Jo Stafford was among the first to perform this version. Autumn Leaves became a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages and both as an instrumental and with a singer.
AUTUMN LEAVES
The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
All red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold.
Since you went away
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear
Old winter songs
But I miss you most of all
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...
C'est un chanson
Qui nous ressemble
Toi qui m'aimais
Et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Tou qui m'aimais
Moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare
Ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement
Sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.
Since you went away
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear
Old winter songs
But I miss you most of all
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...
It is one of Joni Mitchell's
best-known songs .
It was written in March 1967
Both Sides Now
Rows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream
castles in the air, and feathered canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way,
but now they only block the sun.
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
from up and down, and still somehow,
it's clouds illusions I recal.
I really don't know clouds...at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the
dizzy dancing way you feel
as every fairy tale comes real; I've
looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show. You
leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them
know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now,
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall.
I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud,
to say "I love you" right out loud,
dreams and schemes and circus
crowds, I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting
strange, they shake their heads,
they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's
gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know life at all.
You Have To Be There :
You have banished me
From the land where I was born
Here upon a foreign shore forsaken
I have followed you
And gone thy way
Should I kneel to you
When I rise you strike me down
Once again a little one you've taken
Everywhere I turn it's darker still
What is it Lord that you want
And that I am not seeing?
What in my innocent prayers
Am I failing to say?
Never before have I questioned the truth of your being
Never once have I dared
Never until today
All of a tremble
I stand on the edge of confusion
Who is to save me
If into the darkness I fall?
Now that I need more than
ever my Lord to be near me
Do you hear when I call?
Are you there after all?
You have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting
on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
Who when I die will throw open
his arms to receive me?
Who will believe me and take me
into his embrace?
And when I go to my rest, who
will watch me and wake me?
When my time comes at last,
will you grant me your grace?
I am so small of this Earth,
I am nothing without you
Daring to doubt you at all turns
a knife in my heart
Little by little I'm losing my way
in the shadows
I am losing my home and the
world fall apart
You do have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting on
a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
And without you I am drifting
on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
You have banished me
From the land where I was born
Here upon a foreign shore forsaken
I have followed you
And gone thy way
Should I kneel to you
When I rise you strike me down
Once again a little one you've taken
Everywhere I turn it's darker still
What is it Lord that you want
And that I am not seeing?
What in my innocent prayers
Am I failing to say?
Never before have I questioned
the truth of your being
Never once have I dared
Never until today
All of a tremble
I stand on the edge of confusion
Who is to save me
If into the darkness I fall?
Now that I need more than
ever my Lord to be near me
Do you hear when I call?
Are you there after all?
You have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting
on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
Who when I die will throw
open his arms to receive me?
Who will believe me and take me into his embrace?
And when I go to my rest, who will watch me and wake me?
When my time comes at last, will you grant me your grace?
I am so small of this Earth, I am nothing without you
Daring to doubt you at all turns a knife in my heart
Little by little I'm losing my way in the shadows
I am losing my home and the world fall apart
You do have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
And without you I am drifting on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
The waters drag me down
I reach for your hand
MAD WORLD -TEARS FOR FEARS
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
In dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
I want to feel the way that every child should
Sits and listen
Sits and listen
I went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Looked right through me
She looked right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
In dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
In dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Sad world
Mad world
Mad World
ENJOY THE SILENCE- DEPECHE MODE
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Unchained Melody" is a 1955 song with music
by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret.
Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
Oh, ho
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love (oh yeah)
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me
It to me
Godspeed your love to me
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I, need, your, love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I, need, your, love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I, need, your, love
I need your love
"Someone to Watch Over Me"
is a song composed by
George Gershwin with lyrics
by Ira Gershwin
from the musical Oh, Kay! (1926),
There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who’ll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
