You Are My Sunshine/ Oh, Let the Sun Shine in

Jimmie Davis & Charles Mitchell/Kitty Wells

Chorus: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make me happy, when skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear; How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear; as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms.

When I awoke, dear; I was mistaken

And I hung my head and cried.

Chorus: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

You make me happy, when skies are grey.

You'll never know, dear; How much I love you.

Please don't take my sunshine away

Oh let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Smilers never lose, and frowners never win.

So let the sun shine in, face it with a grin

Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.

Do-Re-Mi

Rodgers and Hammerstein

Let's start at the very beginning

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with A-B-C

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi,

The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi, Do re mi fa so la te do

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name I call myself

Far, a long, long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow Sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name I call myself

Far, a long, long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow Sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to Do!

He’s Got the Whole World

Obie Phillis

He’s got the whole world, in his hands

He’s got the whole world, in his hands

He’s got the whole world, in his hands

He’s got the whole world, in his hands

He’s got the tiny little babies, in his hands

He’s got the brothers and the sisters, in his hands

He’s got the grandmas and the grandpas, in his hands

He’s got everybody here, in his hands

He’s got the whole world in his hands

Chapel of Love

Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich, Phil Spector

Chorus: Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married

Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married

Gee, I really love you and we're gonna get married

Goin' to the chapel of love

Verse 1

Spring is here , the sky is blue,

Birds all sing, as if they knew

Today's the day, we'll say I do,

And we'll never be lonely anymore,

Because we're…

Chorus: Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married

Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married

Gee, I really love you and we're gonna get married

Goin' to the chapel of love

Verse 2

Bells will ring, the sun will shine;

I'll be yours and you’ll be mine

We'll love until the end of time;

And we'll never be lonely anymore

Because we're…

Chorus: Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married

Goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get married

Gee, I really love you and we're gonna get married

Goin' to the chapel of love

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Harold Arlen & E.Y. Harburg

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon-drops

Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?

I Believe I can Fly

R. Kelly

Chorus: I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day, Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar, see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

Verse 1

I used to think that I could not go on

And life was nothing but an awful song

Now I know the meaning of true love

I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Chorus: I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day, Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar, see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

Verse 2

Nothing gonna set you free you know

So turn inside and look, it seems so dark

There are miracles in life I must achieve

But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can feel it, then I can be it

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Chorus: I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky

I think about it every night and day, Spread my wings and fly away

I believe I can soar, see me running through that open door

I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

I Hope You Dance

Mark Sanders, Tia Sillers

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat, but always have that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking

Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making

Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out reconsider

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance I hope you dance

I hope you dance I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance I hope you dance

I hope you dance I hope you dance

I hope you dance I hope you dance

Just the Way You Are

Bruno Mars

Verse 1

Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining

Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?" I say

Chorus

When I see your face there's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing just the way you are

And when you smile the whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing just the way you are

Verse 2

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me

Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful and I tell her every day,

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change

If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking if you look okay, You know I'll say,

Chorus

When I see your face there's not a thing that I would change

'Cause you're amazing just the way you are

And when you smile the whole world stops and stares for a while

'Cause, girl, you're amazing just the way you are

The way you are, the way you are,

Girl, you're amazing, just the way you are

My Favourite Things

Rodgers and Hammerstein

Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens,

Bright copper kettles, and warm woolen mittens,

Brown paper packages, tied up with strings,

These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Cream colored ponies, and crisp apple strudels,

Doorbells an' sleigh bells, and schnitzel with noodles,

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,

These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Girls in white dresses, with blue satin sashes,

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

Silver white winters that melt into springs,

These are a few of my favorite things . . .

When the dog bites,

When the bee stings,

When I'm feelin' sad,

I simply remember my favorite things,

And then I don't feel so bad . . .

You’ve Got a Friend

Carole King

Verse 1

When you’re down and troubled, and you need a helping hand

And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me, and soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest nights.

Chorus You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am

I’ll come running, to see you again

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call

And I’ll be there, Yes I will; You’ve got a friend.

Verse 2

If the sky above you, Should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

And soon I will be knocking upon your door.

Chorus You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am

I’ll come running, to see you again

Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call

And I’ll be there, Yes I will; You’ve got a friend.

Ain’t it good to know, you’ve got a friend

Ain’t it good to know, you’ve got a friend

Let it Go

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried

Don't let them in, don't let them see, Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know, well, now they know

Let it go, let it go. Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door

I don't care what they're going to say

Let the storm rage on…The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all

It's time to see what I can do, To test the limits and break through

No right, no wrong, no rules for me….I'm free

Let it go, let it go, I am one with the wind and sky

Let it go, let it go, you'll never see me cry

Here I stand and here I'll stay,

Let the storm rage on….

[Bridge]

My power flurries through the air into the ground

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast

I'm never going back, the past is in the past

Let it go, let it go, and I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go, let it go, that perfect girl is gone

Here I stand in the light of day

Let the storm rage on…The cold never bothered me anyway

Put a Little Love in your Heart

Jackie DeShannon, Randy Myers, Jimmy Holiday

Verse 1

Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand

Put a little love in your heart.

You see it's getting late, oh please don't hesitate

Put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place, and the world will be a better place

For you and me, you just wait and see

Verse 2

Another day goes by, and still the children cry

Put a little love in your heart.

If you want the world to know, we won't let hatred grow

Put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place, and the world will be a better place

For you and me, you just wait and see

Verse 3

Take a good look around and, if you're lookin' down

Put a little love in your heart,

I hope when you decide, kindness will be your guide

Put a little love in your heart.

And the world will be a better place, and the world will be a better place

For you and me, you just wait and see

Put a little love in your heart each and every day

Put a little love in your heart there's no other way

Put a little love in your heart, it's up to you

Put a little love in your heart...

Stand By Me

Ben E. King, Jerry Lieber, Mike Stoller

Verse 1

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

Chorus: So darling, darling, Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me, Stand by me.

Verse 2

If the sky that we look upon, should tumble and fall

Or the mountains 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

Chorus: So darling, darling, Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me, Stand by me.

One Friend

Dan Seals

Verse 1

I always thought you were the best, I guess I always will

I always felt that we were blessed, I feel that way still

Sometimes we took the hard road, but we always saw it through

If I had just one friend left, I'd want it to be you

Verse 2

Sometimes the world was on our side, sometimes it wasn't fair

Sometimes it gave a helping hand, sometimes we didn't care

'Cause when we were together, it made the dream come true

If I had just one friend left, I'd want it to be you

Bridge: Someone who understands me, and knows me inside out

Who helps keep me together, and believes without a doubt

That I could move a mountain, someone to tell it to

If I had just one friend left, I'd want it to be you

If I had just one friend left, I'd want it to be you

True Colours

Verse 1

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged, Oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Makes you feel so small

CHORUS: But I see your true colors, shining through

I see your true colors, and that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours, true colours are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

Verse 2

Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy, can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

CHORUS: And I see your true colors, shining through

I see your true colors, and that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colours, true colours are beautiful,

Like a rainbow

What a Wonderful World

Bob Thiele and George David Weiss

Verse 1

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom, for me and for you

And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world.”

Verse 2

And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world.” Oh Yeah

I see skies of blue, clouds of white

Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights

And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world.”

Bridge: The colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands saying, “How do you do?”

They’re really saying, “I love you.”

Verse 3

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow

They’ll learn much more then I’ll never know.

And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world”

I think to myself, “What a wonderful world.” Oh Yeah

Can You Feel the Love Tonight

Elton John & Tim Rice

Verse 1

There's a calm surrender, to the rush of day,

When the heat of a rolling wind, can't be turned away

An enchanted moment and it sees me through

It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you

Chorus: And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer that we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight, how it's laid to rest?

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds believe the very best

Verse 2

There's a time for everyone, if they only learn

That the twisting kaleidoscope, Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason, to the wild outdoors

When the heart of this star-crossed voyager, beats in time with yours

Chorus: And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer that we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight, how it's laid to rest?

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds believe the very best

This Pretty Planet

Unknown

This pretty planet, spinning through space

Your garden, your harbor your holy place

Golden sun going down,

Gentle blue giant, spin us around

All through the night

Safe ‘till the morning light

(Repeat)

Branching Out

John Gorka

Verse 1

When I grow up I want to be a tree

Want to make a home for the birds and the bees

And the squirrels, they can count on me

When I grow up to be a tree

Verse 2

I'll let my joints get stiff, plant my feet in the ground

Take the winters off and settle down

Wear my clothes till they turn brown

When I grow up, I'm gonna settle down

Chorus: I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach

I'm gonna reach, reach for the sky

I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach

I'm gonna reach, till I know why

Verse 3

When the spring comes by I'm gonna get real green

If the dogs come by I'm gonna get real mean

On windy days, I'll bend and lean

When I grow up I'm gonna get real green

Bridge: If I should fall in storm or slumber

Please don't turn me into lumber

I'd rather be a Louisville slugger

Swinging for the seats...

Chorus: I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach

I'm gonna reach, reach for the sky

I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach

I'm gonna reach, till I know why

My Love

Tony Hatch

Chorus

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine softer than a sigh

My love is deeper than the deepest ocean wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above

And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love

Verse 1 Something happened to my heart the day that I met you

Something that I never felt before

You are always on my mind no matter what I do

And every day it seems that I want you more

Chorus

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh

My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above

And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love

Verse 2 Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me

Once I thought you'd never come my way

Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be

For now I have to tell you everyday

Chorus

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh

My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above

And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love

Land of the Silver Birch

Land of the silver birch, home of the beaver

Where still the mighty moose, wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more

Boom diddy-ah da, boom diddy-ah da, boom diddy-ah da, eaa-aaa-aaa

High on a rocky ledge I'll build my wigwam

Close to the water's edge, Silent and still

Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more

Boom diddy-ah da, boom diddy-ah da, boom diddy-ah da, eaa-aaa-aaa

My heart grows sick for thee, here in the low lands

I will return to thee hills of the north

Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more

Boom diddy-ah da, boom diddy-ah da, boom diddy-ah da, eaa-aaa-aaa

My Paddle’s Keen and Bright

My paddle's keen and bright

Flashing with silver

Follow the wild goose flight

Dip, dip and swing

Dip, dip and swing her back

Flashing with silver

Swift as the wild goose flies

Dip, dip and swing

(Repeat)

(After second time)

Dip, dip and swing (quieter)

Dip, dip and swing (quieter)

They All Call it Canada

Fritz Grundland

Verse 1

My country is my cathedral; the northern sky its dome

They all call it Canada, but I call it home

Verse 2

The mountains, the lakes and valleys, are friends that I have known

They all call it Canada, but I call it home

Bridge: From the Atlantic to the Pacific

From the pole to the U.S.A.

We're one united brotherhood

And united we will stay

Verse 3

The people beyond our borders, and far across the foam

They all call it Canada, but I call it home

This Land is Your Land

Woody Guthrie

Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land

From Bonavista, to the Vancouver Island

From the Arctic Circle, to the Great Lake waters

This land was made for you and me

Verse 1

As I was walking a ribbon of highway,

I saw above me an endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley (valley)

This land was made for you and me

Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land

From Bonavista, to the Vancouver Island

From the Arctic Circle, to the Great Lake waters

This land was made for you and me

Verse 2

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps

To the fir clad forests of our mighty mountains

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me

Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land

From Bonavista, to the Vancouver Island

From the Arctic Circle, to the Great Lake waters

This land was made for you and me

Four Strong Winds

Ian Tyson

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All those things that don't change come what may.

For our good times are all gone

And I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Verse 1

Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall

I got some friends that I could go to working for.

Still I wish you'd change your mind, if I asked you one more time

But we've been through this a hundred times or more.

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All those things that don't change come what may.

For our good times are all gone

And I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Verse 2

If I get there before the snow flies, and if things are lookin' good

You could meet me if I send you down the fare.

But, by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do

And those winds sure can blow cold 'way out there.

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All those things that don't change come what may.

For our good times are all gone

And I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

Canada In My Pocket

Michael Mitchell

Chorus:

I've got Canada in my pocket, a little bit of history.

A penny, and a nickel, and a quarter and a dime

Mean a lot to you and me.

It's more than pocket money, they're the symbols of our land

They're pictures of important things

For which this country stands

The maple leaf, the maple leaf, is a beautiful sight to see

It waves 'hello'' to us below, from the top of a maple tree

And with every year that passes, it grows like you and me

So should we all grow straight and tall, like the lovely maple tree

The beaver, oh the beaver, is a beautiful sight to see

He's a happy, furry animal, like a teddy bear with teeth

He's never ever lazy, he works all night and day

Building houses for his family, he's got no time to play

The schooner, oh the schooner, is a beautiful sight to see

It's a great big wooden sailing ship, that can sail across the sea

It brings to other countries, the things their people need

And brings back things like chocolate bars, and books for us to read

The caribou, the caribou, is a beautiful sight to see

He's a really big strong animal, I’m sure you'll all agree

He looks like Santa's reindeer, And he loves it when the wind blows cold

So he lives up north with the polar bears, cause he likes the ice and snow

We Shall be free

Garth Brooks and Stephanie Davis

When the last child cries for a crust of bread

When the last man dies for just words that he said

When there's shelter over the poorest head, we shall be free

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin

And the first thing we look for is the beauty within

When the skies and the oceans are clean again, we shall be free

Chorus: We shall be free, we shall be free

Stand straight, walk proud

'Cause we shall be free

When we're free to love anyone we choose

When this world's big enough for all different views

When we all can worship from our own kind of pew, we shall be free

Chorus: We shall be free, we shall be free

Stand straight, walk proud

'Cause we shall be free

Bridge And when money talks for the very last time

And nobody walks a step behind

When there's only one race, that’s humankind

Then we shall be free

Chorus: We shall be free, we shall be free

Stand straight, walk proud

'Cause we shall be free

Chorus: We shall be free, we shall be free

Sit straight, roll proud

'Cause we shall be free

Child of the Universe

Laura Nyro

Verse 1

The sun is only a star, around that star we spin.

But there are many other stars, where do we fit in?

I am only a grain of sand, tossed by water and wind

But there are many grains of sand, Where do I fit in?

Chorus Child of the universe let your spirit fly

You are the special one and here's the reason why

You're a child of the universe, so climb your mountains high

You are the chosen one to try and touch the sky.

Verse 2

Tell me what can I aim for, in a world that's quickly changing?

Tell me what my purpose is, where to I fit in?

Shall I follow a dream, or are dreams just made for children?

Well, all of us are children now, that's where I fit in.

Chorus Child of the universe let your spirit fly

You are the special one and here's the reason why

You're a child of the universe, so climb your mountains high

You are the chosen one to try and touch the sky.

I am the chosen one, I’ll try and touch the sky.
