She's blood, flesh and bone No tucks or silicone She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound But somehow I can't believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing's gonna happen Yeah, yeah 'Cause she's so high High above me, she's so lovely She's so high Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite She's so high, high above me First class and fancy free She's high society She's got the best of everything What could a guy like me Ever really offer? She's perfect as she can be Why should I even bother? 'Cause she's so high High above me, she's so lovely She's so high Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite She's so high, high above me She comes to speak to me I freeze immediately 'Cause what she says sounds so unreal But somehow I can't believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing's gonna happen Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 'Cause she's so high High above me, she's so lovely She's so high Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite She's so high, high above me Songwriters: Tal Bachman Lyrics © Emi Blackwood Music Inc., Wintrup Musikverlag Walter Holzbaur, Bachman & Sons Music, Lovolar Music, The Bicycle Music Company Inc

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance And I have never seen that dress you're wearing Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes I have been blind The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek There's nobody here, it's just you and me It's where I want to be But I hardly know this beauty by my side I'll never forget the way you look tonight I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away And I have never had such a feeling Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek There's nobody here, it's just you and me It's where I want to be But I hardly know this beauty by my side I'll never forget the way you look tonight I never will forget the way you look tonight The lady in red, the lady in red The lady in red, my lady in red I love you Songwriters: Chris De Burgh Lyrics © BMG Rights Management

Welcome to the Camp, I guess you all know why we're here My name is Tommy And I became aware this year If you want to follow me, You've got to play pinball And put in your earplugs Put on your eye shades You know where to put the cork Hey you getting drunk, so sorry! I've got you sussed Hey you smoking Mother Nature! This is a bust! Hey hung up old Mr. Normal Don't try to gain my trust! 'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways Although you think you must We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it Never did and never will We're not gonna take it Gonna break it, gonna shake it Let's forget it better still Now you can't hear me Your ears are truly sealed You can't speak either Your mouth is filled You can't see nothing And pinball completes the scene Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to Your very own machine We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it We're not gonna take it Never did and never will Don't want no religion And as far as we can tell We ain't gonna take you Never did and never will We're not gonna take you We forsake you Gonna rape you Let's forget you better still We forsake you Gonna rape you Let's forget you better still See me Feel me Touch me Heal me See me Feel me Touch me Heal me See me Feel me Touch me Heal me See me Feel me Touch me Heal me Listening to you I get the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountains I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions On you I see the glory From you I get opinions From you I get the story Listening to you I get the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountains I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions On you I see the glory From you I get opinions From you I get the story Listening to you I get the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountains I get excitement at your feet Right behind you I see the millions On you I see the glory Songwriters: Peter Townshend Lyrics © Spirit Music Group

Sometimes I feel like I'm drunk behind the wheel the wheel of possibility However it may roll, give it a spin See if you can somehow factor in You know there's always more than one way to say exactly what you mean to say Was I out of my head or was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind? I was waiting for an indication, it was hard to find Don't matter what I say, only what I do I never mean to do bad things to you So quiet but I finally woke up If you're sad then it's time you spoke up too Was I out of my head or was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind? I was waiting for an indication, it was hard to find Don't matter what I say, only what I do I never mean to do bad things to you So quiet but I finally woke up If you're sad then it's time you spoke up too Was I out of my head or was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind? I was waiting for an indication, it was hard to find Don't matter what I say, only what I do I never mean to do bad things to you So quiet but I finally wake up If you're sad then it's time you spoke up too Songwriters: Anthony Scalzo Lyrics © The Bicycle Music Company

There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine) She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door) We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Well, I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine) I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Well, I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine) I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we'll sing it Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do Songwriters: Ellie Greenwich/Jeff Barry Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Rights Management

Elvis Presley
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue If I can dream of a better land Where all my brothers walk hand in hand Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true Oh, why There must be peace and understanding sometime Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear If I can dream of a warmer sun Where hope keeps shining on everyone Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear We're lost in a cloud with too much rain We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain But as long as a man has the strength to dream He can redeem his soul and fly Deep in my heart there's a trembling question Still I am sure that the answer, answer's gonna come somehow Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah And while I can think, while I can talk While I can stand, while I can walk While I can dream, please let my dream come true, oh Right now, let it come true right now Oh yeah Songwriters: Walter Earl Brown Lyrics © Gladys Music, Abg Epe Gladys Music, Gladys Music Elvis Presley Enterprises Llc, Gladys Music Joachim Jean Aberbach 
Carpenters
When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs When 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-o-wo-o, still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's, 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 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-o-wo-o, still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's 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 Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's so fine Every sha-la-la-la Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines Every shing-a-ling-a-ling Songwriters: John Bettis/Richard Lynn Carpenter Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group 
The Mamas & the Papas
Stars shining bright above you; Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'. Birds singing in the sycamore tree. Dream a little dream of me. Say nighty-night and kiss me; Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me. While I'm alone, blue as can be, Dream a little dream of me. Stars fading but I linger on, dear - Still craving your kiss. I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear, Just saying this... Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you - Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. But in your dreams, whatever they be, Dream a little dream of me. Stars fading but I linger on, dear - Still craving your kiss. I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear, Just saying this... Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you - Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you. But in your dreams, whatever they be, Dream a little dream of me.
