TOP OF THE WORLD

Such a feeling coming over me
There is wander in most everything that I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eye
And I won't be surprised if its a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, its because you are here
You are the nearest thing to heaven that I have seen

Chorus

I'm on the
Top of the world looking
Down on creation and the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I found ever since you've been around
Your love put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And its telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves of the trees and the touch of the breeze
There is a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

Chorus

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound?
That saved a wretch like me?

I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see

It was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and shares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead home

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE

When I was young, I listen to the radio
Waiting for my favourite song
When they played I'll sing along
It makes me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they gone

But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I know so well

Chorus
Every sha la, la, la
Every woh, woh, woh still shines
Every shing aling aling aling
That they started to sing so fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before, its yesterday once more

Looking back oh how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes the day soon rather sad
So much has changed, it was songs of love
That I would sing to them
And I'll memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
And they melt the years away

Chorus

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamt of all the great
Things we would do

Chorus
Those were the days my friend
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we are young and sure to have our way
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
These were the days, oh yes,
Those were the days
Then the years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'll smile at one another and we'd say

Chorus

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely fellow really me?

Chorus

Through the doors
There came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams
Are still the same

I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

That's the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

IT'S A SMALL WORLD

It's a world of laughter and a world of tears
It's a world of hope and a world of fears
There's so much that we can share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

Chorus
It's a small world after all ( 3x )
It's a small small world

There's just one moon and a golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

Chorus

WHEN A CHILD IS BORN

A ray of hope, flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new moon
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, toss and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

It's all a dream an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

PATCHES

Down by the river that flows by the coal yard
Stand wooden houses with shutters drawn down
There lives a girl everybody call Patches
Patches my darling of old shanty town

We plan to marry when June brought the summer
I couldn't want to make Patches my bride
Now I don't see how that ever can happen
My folks say no and my heart breaks inside

Chorus
Patches, Oh what can I do?
I'll swear I'll always love you
But a girl from that place
Would just bring me disgrace
So my folks won't let me love you

All night I cry as I think of the Shanty
And pretty Patches there watching the door
She doesn't know that
I can't come to meet her
Patches must think I love her no more

I heard a neighbour telling my father
He said a girl name of Patches was found
Floating face downwards
In that dirty old river
Down by the boat yard in old Shanty Town

Chorus
Patches, Oh what can I do?
I'll swear I'll always love you
It may not be right
But I'll join you tonight
Patches I'll join you tonight

RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are
Too big for his shoes
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops keep falling
So I just did some talking to the sun
I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops keep falling
Oh my head they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness
Stops up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cos I'm never gonna stop the
Rain by complaining
Because I'm free, nothing's worrying me

SING YOUR WAY HOME

Sing your way home at the close of the day
Sing your way home drive the shadows away

Smile every mile for wherever you from
It will brighten your road
It will lighten your load
If you sing your way home
