Unchained Melody
Lyrics by Hy Zaret / Music by Alex North

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"

Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me



The Long And Winding Road
John Lennon & Paul McCartney

The long and winding road that leads to your door
will never disappear I've seen that road before
It always leads me here Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day
Why leave me standing here let me know the way

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know the many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back to the long winding road
You left me standing here a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here lead me to your door

But still they lead me back to the long winding road
You left me standing here a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


I Say a Little Prayer
Burt Bacharach

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now,
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me.

My darling believe me,
For me there is no one
But you.

Please love me true
I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer
I'm in love with you...


I Won't Last a Day Without You
Lyrics Paul Williams:Music Roger Nichols

Day after day I must face a world of strangers where I don't belong
I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to who will always care
You're always there

(chorus)
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you

So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face
A lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you and you'll always smile
It's all worthwhile

(chorus)

Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near my love

If all my friends had forgotten half their promises they're not unkind
Just hard to find
One look at you
And I know that I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best

(chorus)

Can't last a day... without you


In My Life
John Lennon and Paul McCartney

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more


For All We Know
From the Movie "Forget Paris"
Performed by Billie Holiday

Sweetheart the night is growing old
Sweetheart my love is still untold
A kiss that is never tasted
Forever and ever is wasted

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again

We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like a ripple on a stream

So love me, tonight
Tomorrow was meant for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know


You Make Me Feel Brand New
The Stylistics

My love,
I'll never find the words my love, to tell you how I feel my love.
Mere words, could not explain.

Precious love,
You held my life within your hands, created everything I am,
taught me how to live again.

Only you,
cared when I needed a friend, believed in me through thick and thin,
this song is for you, filled with graditude and love...

(Chorus) God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
for God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song 'cause you, make me feel brand new.

My love,
Whenever I was insecure, you built me up and made me sure,
you gave, my pride, back to me.

Precious friend,
with you I'll always have a friend, your someone who I can depend,
to walk a path that sometimes bends.

Without you,
Life has no meaning or rhyme, like notes to a song out of time,
how can I repay, you for having faith in me?

(Chorus)
