Sing

by Carpenters



Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me.

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song.

Women In Love

by Barbara Streisand



Life is a moment in space,
when the dream is gone
it's a lonelier place.
I kiss the morning goodbye,
but down inside you know
we never know why.
The road is narrow and long
when eyes meet eyes
and the feeling is strong.
I turn away from the wall.
I stumble and fall,
but I give you it all.
I am a woman in love
and I'd do anything
to get you into my world,
and hold you within.
It's a right I defend
over and over again.
What do I do?
With you eternally mine,
In love there is
no measure of time.
They planned it all at the start
that you and I, live
in each others heart.
We may be oceans away,
you feel my love
I hear what you say.
No truth is ever a lie.
I stumble and fall,
but I give you it all.
I am a woman in love
and I'm talkin' to you.
You know how you feel
what a woman can do.
It's a right I defend
over and over again.

Do Re Mi



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, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
Let's see if I can make it easy

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)

[Maria and Children:]
[Repeat above verse twice]

[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!

[Maria: (spoken)]
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on
are only the tools we use to build a song.
Once you have these notes in your heads,
you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.
Like this.

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[spoken]
Can you do that?
[Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
[Maria:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Children:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Now, put it all together.

[Maria and Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
[Maria:]
[spoken]
Good!
[Brigitta:]
[spoken]
But it doesn't mean anything.
[Maria:]
[spoken]
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
[spoken]
Together!

[Maria and Children:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

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

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re

[Children:]
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti
[Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings]

[Maria:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

[Maria and Children:]
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

[Maria:]
[Children:]

Do . . . So Do
Re . . . La Fa
Mi . . . Mi Do
Fa . . . Re
So . . . So Do
La . . . La Fa
Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re
Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Sound of Music Theme




Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

The Way We Were

by Barbara Streisand



Memories,
like the corners of my mind
Misty water-color memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles
we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had chance to do it all again
Tell me would we, oh could we ?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
The laughter we'll remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were.
The way we were.

Somewhere My Love

by Kenny Rogers



Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through

You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again

Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again.


A Time for Us

Romeo and Juliet Theme
by Barratt Waugh



A time for us,
some day there'll be
When chains are torn
by courage born of a love that's free

A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide,
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me.

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely
through every storm.

A time for us,
some day there'll be
a new world,
A world of shining hope
for you and me.

A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me.

And with our love,
through tears and thorns,
We will endure
as we pass surely
through every storm.

A time for us,
some day there'll be
a new world
A world of shining hope
for you and me.

Silent Night



Silent night, holy night
all is calm, all is bright
round yon virgin mother and child
holy infant so tender and mild
sleep in heavenly peace
sleep in heavenly peace

silent night, holy night
shepherds quake at the sight
glories stream from heaven afar
heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born

Jingle Bell



Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;

Bells on bob-tails ring,
making spirits bright,
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Ho, Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

You Are My Sunshine

by Disney



You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only do the same.
But if you leave me for another,
You'll regret it all some day:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
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
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away


You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

So please don't take my sunshine away.

Love Story

by Andy Williams



Where do I begin
To tell the story
Of how grateful love can be
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea
That sings the truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With the first hello
She gave the meaning
To this empty world of mine
That never did
Another love another time
She came into my life
And made a living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart
With very special things
With angel songs
With wild imaginings
She fills my soul
With so much love
That anywhere I go
I’m never lonely
With her along who could b lonely
I reach for her hand
It’s always there.

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much I can say
I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she’ll be there...

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much I can say
I know I’ll need her till this love song burn away
And she'll be there...

Love Me Tender

by Amy Grant



Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For its there that I belong,
And well never part.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

Let Me Be There

by Olivia Newton



Wherever you go
Wherever you may wander
in your life
Surely you know
I always wanna be there.

Holding you hand
And standing by to catch you
when you fall
Seeing you through
In everything you do.

Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong
and make it right.

Let me take you through
that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there.

Watching you grow
And going through the changes
in your life
That's how I know.
I always wanna be there
Whenever you feel you need
a friend to lean on,
here I am.

Whenever you call,
you know I'll be there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in you night
Let me change whatever's wrong
and make it right

Let me take you
through that wonderland
That only two can share
All I ask you is
let me be there.

Speak Softly Love

by Andy Williams



Speak softly, love and
hold me warm
against your heart
I feel your words,
the tender trembling
moments start

We're in a world,
our very own
Sharing a love that
only few have ever known.

Wine-colored days
warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights
when we are one.

Speak softly, love so
no one hears us but the sky,
The vows of love we make
will live until we die.
My life is yours
and all because
You came into my world with love
so softly love

(instrumental interlude)

Speak softly, love so
no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make
will live until we die
My life is yours
and all because
You came into my world with love
so softly love.

Moon River

by Andy Williams



Moon river,
wider than a mile
I'm crossing you
in style some day
Oh, dream maker,
you heart breaker
Wherever you're going,
I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end,
waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me.

(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossing you in style some day)

Oh, dream maker,
you heart breaker
Wherever you're going,
I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end,
waiting around the bend
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me.

(Moon River, Moon River)

Red River Valley

by Martin Robin



From this valley
they say
you are leaving
We will miss
your bright eyes
and sweet smile
For you take with you
all of the sunshine
That has brightened
our pathways awhile.

Then come and sit
by my side,
if you love me.
Do not hasten to
bid me adieu
Just remember
the Red River Valley
And the cowboy that
loved you so true.

For a long time,
my darling,
I've waited.
For the sweet words
you never would say
Now, alas,
all my fond hopes
have vanished
For they say that
you are going away.

My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean

by an unknown artist



My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Oh, blow, ye winds, over the ocean,
And blow, ye winds, over the sea,
And blow, ye winds, over the ocean,
And bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead.

Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Brahm's Lullaby

By Celine Dion



Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head
Flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day

Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
'Round your head
Flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day

Close your eyes
Now and rest
May these hours
Be blessed

Close your eyes
Now and rest
May these hours
Be blessed.

Bonne nuit cher enfant
Dans tes langes blancs
Repose joyeux
En revant des cieux
-
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te reveilleras
Quand le jour reviendra
Tu te reveilleras
-
Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright.
'Round your head
Flowers gay
Set your slumbers till day.

Star Spangled Banner

by Lee Greenwood



O say, can you see,
by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched,
were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star
spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free,
and the home of the brave?

La Vie En Rose

by Zhang Fei



Hold me close and hold me fast.
The magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.
When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.

When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.

Give your heart and soul to me.
and life will always be
La vie en rose.


When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.
And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.

Give your heart, your soul to me,
and lifw will always be
La vie en rose.

My Heart Will Go On

by Celine Dion



Every night in my dreams
I see you.
I feel you.

That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime.
And never go till we're one

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on


You're here,
there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on.

We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on.

The Rose

by Bette Midler



Some say love,
it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.

Some say love,
it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love,
it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.

I say love,
it is a flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart
afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.

It's the dream
afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul
afraid of dying
that never learns to live.

When the night
has been too lonely
and the road
has been to long,
and you think
that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember
in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose.

One Day When We Were Young

by Richard Tauber



One day when we were young,
One wonderful morning in May,
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day

Sweet songs of spring were sung
And music was never so gay
You told me you loved me
When we were young one day.

You told me you loved me
And held me close to your heart,
We laughed then, we cried then
Then came the time to part

When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day.


When songs of spring are sung
Remember that morning in May
Remember you loved me
When we were young one day...


当我们还年轻时
的一天,
一个美妙的五月的早晨,
你说,你爱我,
当时我们还年轻。

我们唱起了春之歌,
那旋律是多么欢快动人,
你说,你爱我,
当时我们还年轻。

你告诉我,你爱我,
紧拥着我在你胸前。
我们欢笑,我们喊叫,
直到离别的时刻来到。

当春之歌再次回荡,
请别忘记那个五月的早晨,
别忘记,
当我们还年轻时,
你曾爱过我。


Yesterday Once More

by Carpenters



When I was young,
I'd listened to the radio,
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played
I'd sing along.
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago.
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again.
Just like a long lost friend.
All the songs I loved so well (*)

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing
So fine.

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before.

It's yesterday once more.

Shooli li lanwai
Shooli li lanwai

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had

Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love
that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word.

Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing
So fine.


All my best memories
Come back clearly to me.
Some can even make me cry
Just like before.

It's yesterday once more

Shooli li lanwai

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing
So fine.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines.

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing's
So fine.

Love Is Blue

by Sylvia Vartan



Blue, blue,
my world is blue,
blue is my world
now I'm without you.

Gray, gray,
my life is gray,
cold is my heart
since you went away.

Red, red,
my eyes are red,
crying for you
alone in my bed.

Green, green,
my jealous heart,
I doubted you
and now we're apart.


When we met,
how the bright sun shone,
Then love died,
now the rainbow is gone.

Black, black,
the nights I have known,
longing for you
so lost and alone.

Gone, gone,
the love we knew.
Blue is my world
now I'm without you.

Black, black,
the nights I have known,
longing for you
so lost and alone.

Blue, blue,
my love is blue,
blue is my world
now I'm without you.


When we met,
how the bright sun shone,
Then love died,
now the rainbow is gone.


Blue, blue,
my world is blue,
blue is my world
now I'm without you.

Gray, gray,
my life is gray,
cold is my heart
since you went away.

Red, red,
my eyes are red,
crying for you
alone in my bed.

Green, green,

Blue, blue,
my world is blue,

now I'm without you.

Gray, gray,

since you went away.

Red, red,
my eyes are red,
crying for you
alone in my bed.

Green, green,
