If I Could


(R. Miller, K. Hirsch, M. Sharron)

If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would

If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learned
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes I would

If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow
So I could let you go

If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I could never cry your tears
But I would if I could

Yes, if I live
In a time and place where you don't want to be
You don't have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won't have to be your way

If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn't very much that I could do
But I would if I could

Oh baby
Mammy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungriest
'Cause you're part of me
And if you ever ever need
Said a shoulder to cry on
Or just someone to talk to
I'll be there, I'll be there
I didn't change your world
But I would
If I could

Oh darling, I love you baby

Fever


(E. J. Cooley, J. Davenport)

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybody's got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby you're my flame
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Captain Smith and Pocahontas
Had a very mad affair
When her Daddy tried to kill him
She said Daddy oh won't you dare
He's givin' me fever
With his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever
I'm his Missus
Oh Daddy won't you treat him right

Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point I have made
Cats were born to give you fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They given you fever
When you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever
Till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn

I've Got The World On A String


(H. Arlen, T. Koehler)

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life
I'm in love

I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see
I'm in love

Life's a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so and so
If I should ever let it go

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life
I'm in love

Life's a beautiful thing
As long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so and so
If I should ever let it go

I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, oh this is the life
Here, I'm so in love

I Wish


(Stevie Wonder)

Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy, thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From whopin' your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you

Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
Cause I love them so

What A Wonderful World


(G. D. Weiss, B. Thiele)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

You And I


(J. Duval / A. Nova)

High above the mountains far across the sea
I can hear your voice calling out to me
Brighter than the sun and darker than the night
I can see your love shining like a light
And on and on this Earth spins like a carousel
If I could travel across the world these secrets I would tell

You and I
Were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds, we'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
'Cause you and I were meant to fly

Sailing like a bird high on the wings of love
Take me higher than all the stars above
I'm burning, yearning, gently turning round and round
I'm always rising up, I never want to come back down

You and I
Were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds, we'll sail across the sky
So come with me
(So come with me)
And you will feel
(And you will feel)
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
'Cause you and I were meant to fly

Fly
Oh yeah

You and I
Were meant to fly
(Were meant to fly)
Higher than the clouds, we'll sail across the sky
So come with me
(So come with me)
And you will feel
(And you will feel)
That you and I were meant to fly

You and I were meant to fly

Ain't Gonna Look The Other Way


(Tracy Ackerman, Anders Bagge, Peer Astrom)

Used to be easy, used to have truth hangin' round
Never had secrets, always singing your praises now good and loud
All I got is questions, and you left me wondering why
Why you keep your distance, every lonely night

When love was bound together
We lived it by the letter
Can't close my eyes forever
'Cos everything has changed and now

I ain't gonna look the other way
One more time
'Cos after all the clouds go by, it's just another empty sky
I ain't gonna wait to see the rain
Go by
Nothin's gonna make it right, look at me 'cos I choose life

It's all about giving, it's not about winning the game
My mind was open, ready or not you closed it up again
Still I keep asking, if you got something to hide
I never stop learning, all the reasons why

It took about a minute
To find the point and hit it
Gotta take this life and live it
'Cos everyting has changed and now

I ain't gonna look the other way
One more time
'Cos after all the clouds go by, it's just another empty sky
I ain't gonna wait to see the rain
Go by
Nothin's gonna make it right, look at me 'cos I choose life

When all the lights go out so suddenly, I loose my way
Baby tell me
Is something going on
You gotta free me, this time I'm gonna be strong

I ain't gonna look the other way
One more time
'Cos after all the clouds go by, it's just another empty sky
I ain't gonna wait to see the rain
Go by
Nothin's gonna make it right, look at me 'cos I choose life

(I ain't gonna look the other way)

Nothing no nothing no nothing oh no
(After all the clouds go by)
After all the clouds go by
(It's just another empty sky)
Sky
(I ain't gonna wait to see the rain)
I ain't gonna wait to see the rain
(Nothing's gonna make it right)
Nothing's gonna make it right
(Look at me cause I choose life)
Life
No no

Gonna do it, gonna make it alright
Gonna do it, gonna choose this life
(Nothing's gonna make it right)
Nothing's gonna make it right
Oh baby
Nothing's gonna make it right
Oh
It used to be easy
