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.
