Lean On Me - Official Song of WSD 2023
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on
For it won't be long ’til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride, if I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on
For it won't be long ’til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear, that you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I’ll share your load
You can just call me
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on
For it won't be long ’til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
So call me, call me, call me when you need a friend
Call me, call me, call me when you need a friend
Call me, call me, call me when you need a friend
Call me, call me, call me when you need a friend

BENNIE AND THE JETS
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Ooh, but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and
the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and
the Jets
Oh they're so weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
Oh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and
the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, ohh-oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the
Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie,
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Jets, Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie,
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets

BEYOND THE SEA
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin'
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt, ah
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the
shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing
So long sailing
Bye bye sailing

BLUE MOON
Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a
love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was
there for
You heard me sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before
me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore
me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned
to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before
me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore
me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned
to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Bohemian Rhapsody
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 want to 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-o-o-o-o
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?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let
him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let
me go!)
Will not let you go (Let me go!)
Never let you go (Never, never, never,
never let me go)
Oh oh oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama
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
Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...

Brown Eyed Girl
Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to
sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee
dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee
dah
La dee dah
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking
about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to
sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee
dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee
dah
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah
dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la
Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d

Bye Bye Love
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
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with-a
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
Bye bye my love goodbye
I'm-a through with romance, I'm
a-through with love
I'm through with a-countin' the
stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so
free
My lovin' baby is through with me
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
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

Close to You
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
And decided to create a dream
come true.
So, they sprinkled moon dust in
your hair of gold
And star light in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me,
They long to be
Close to you.

"Dancing In The Dark"
I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with
myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a
little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a
spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round
the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my
hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening
somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a
spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere
and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my
shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all
right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving
tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here
trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just
one look
You can't start a fire
Sitting 'round crying over a broken
heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
You can't start a fire
Worrying about your little world
falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
Even if we're just dancing in the
dark
Hey, baby

Dancing Queen
Ooh, you can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that
scene
Digging the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music,
getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's
high
With a bit of rock music,
everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that
scene
Digging the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then
you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone
will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that
scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen

Daydream Believer
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never
ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good times start and
end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really
need
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
[Instrumental interlude]
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
[Repeat and fade]

Don’t Stop Believing
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Strangers, waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop, believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people

Drift Away
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet, I look for the light through the
pourin' rain
You know, that's a game that I hate to
lose
And I'm feeling the strain, ain't it a
shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free
my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my
soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Won't you take me away
Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin'
time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm countin' on you, you can carry
me through
Oh, give me the beat boys and free
my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my
soul
I wanna get lo
Won't you take me away
And when my mind is free
You know your melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe
me
Thanks for the joy that you've given
me
The joy that you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in
your song
Rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin'
me strong
Oh, you're makin' me strong
Give me the beat boys and free my
soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my
soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my
soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Drift away
Just give me the beat boys and free
my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
and drift away
Oh, won't you take me
Oh, won't you take me
I wanna drift away
Won't you take me away
I wanna drift away
I wanna drift away
Won't you take me
Take me home
Let me drift away
Won't you take me away

Friends in Low Places
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black-tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one you thought
you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of
champagne
And I toasted you
Said, "Honey, we may be through,
But you'll never hear me
complain."
'Cause I've got friends in low
places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low
places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay

Good Vibrations
I-I love the colorful clothes she
wears
And the way the sunlight plays
upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume
through the air
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (Oom

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

Softly smile, I know she must be
kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom
world
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations (Oom
bop bop)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good vibrations, oom bop bop)

Happy Together
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night
It's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a
dime
And you say you belong to me
And ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be
So very fine
So happy together
I can't see me loving nobody but
you for all my life
When you're with me, baby, the
skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the
dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
I can't see me loving nobody but
you for all my life
When you're with me, baby, the
skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the
dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
...
Me and you and you and me
No matter how they tossed the
dice
It had to be
The only one for me is you
And you for me
So happy together
So happy together
How is the weather?
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
So happy together

Hey Jude
Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better
And anytime you feel the pain,

For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah nah, nah nah

I Love Rock and Roll
I saw him dancing there by the record
machine
I knew he must have been about
seventeen
The beat was going strong
Playing my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till
he was with me, yeah me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long till
he was with me, yeah me
Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox,
baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance
with me
Ow!
He smiled, so I got up and asked for
his name
But that don't matter, he said, 'cause
it's all the same
He said, "Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?"
And next we were moving on, he was
with me, yeah me
Next we were moving on, he was with
me, yeah me
Singing, I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox,
baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take your time and dance
with me
Ow!
He said, "Can I take you home
Where we can be alone?"

I’m a Believer
I thought love was only true in
fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for
me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my
dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a
believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a
givin' thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I
got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a
believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
Love was out to get me
Now, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my
dreams
Oh, then I saw her face, now I'm a
believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
Yes, I saw her face, now I'm a
believer
And not a trace of doubt in my
mind.
Said I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
Said I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I said I'm a believer
I'm a believer

Johnny B. Goode
Deep down Louisiana close to New
Orleans
Way back up in the woods among
the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of
earth and wood
Where lived a country boy name
Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or
write so well
But he could play the guitar like
ringing a bell.
Go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, oh, Johnny B. Goode.
He use to carry his guitar in a
gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the
railroad track
The engineers used to see him
sitting in the shade
Playing to the rhythm that the
drivers made
People passing by would stop and
say
Oh my, that little country boy could
play.
Go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, oh, Johnny B. Goode.
His mama told him someday he
would be a man
And he would be the leader of a big
old band
Many people coming from miles
around
To hear him play his music when
the sun goes down
Maybe someday his name would be
in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.
Go go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, go Johnny go
Go, oh, Johnny B. Goode.

Lean on Me
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have
sorrow.
But if we are wise,
We know that there's always
tomorrow.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you
carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to
lean on.
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your
needs
That you won't let show.
You just call on me, brother, when
you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that
you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you
carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to
lean on
You just call on me, brother, when
you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that
you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me.
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me, uh-huh
Call me when you need a friend
Call me if you ever need a friend
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me if you need a friend
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me

Mamma Mia
I've been cheated by you since I
don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must
come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly
lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell
ring
One more look and I forget
everything, w-o-o-o-oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed
you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go
I've been angry and sad about
things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've
told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam
the door
I think you know that you won't be
away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell
ring
One more look and I forget
everything, w-o-o-o-oh
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed
you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye bye doesn't mean forever
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed
you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

I Say A Little Prayer
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear
now
I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my
heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever, we never will
part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it
must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for
me
I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break
time
I say a little prayer for you
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my
heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it
must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for
me
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
My darling, believe me
(Believe me)
For me there is no one but you
Please love me too
(Answer my prayer)
And I'm in love with you
(Answer my prayer)
Answer my prayer now, babe
(Answer my prayer)
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my
heart
And I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it
must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for
me

Stand By Me
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll
see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
So darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to
the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Darlin', darlin'
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me?
Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand now?
Oh, stand, stand by me

Sweet Caroline
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come
along
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin'
you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I...
...look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin'
you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believed they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good

Take me Home Country
Road
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue
Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah
River
Life is old there, older than the
trees, younger than the mountains,
blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home to
the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma,
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 mamma,
take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning
hour, she calls me, the radio
reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a
feeling that I should have been
home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home to
the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma,
take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home to
the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma,
take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country
roads
Take me home, down country
roads

That’s Amore
(In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here's what
they say)
When the moon hits your eye like a
big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like
you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling,
ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay,
tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
When the stars make you drool
just like a pasta e fasule
That's amore
When you dance down the street
with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you
know you're not dreaming, signore
Scusa mi, but you see, back in old
Napoli
That's amore
When the moon hits your eye like a

Like a gay tarantella (lucky fella)
When the stars make you drool
just like a pasta e fasule
That's amore (That's amore)
When you dance down the street
with a cloud at your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you
know you're not dreaming, signore
Scusa mi, but you see, back in old
Napoli
That's amore (amore)
