I JUST CALL TO SAY I LOVE YOU

T/M: Stevie Wonder

No New Year's Day to celebrate

No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away

No first of spring, no song to sing

In fact, here's just another ordinary day

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No April rain, no flowers bloom

No wedding Saturday within the month of June

But what it is, is something true

Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you

I just called to say how much I care

I just called to say I love you

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

DANCING QUEEN

(T&M: Andersson/Anderson/Ulveus)

You can dance, you can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low

Looking out for a place to go

Where they play the right music

Getting in the swing

You come to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy

Night is young and the music's high

With a bit of rock music, everything is fine

You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet, only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on

Leave 'em burning and then you're gone

Looking out for another, anyone will do

You're in the mood for a dance

And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet, only seventeen

Dancing queen

Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive

Having the time of your life

Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene

Digging the dancing queen

Digging the dancing queen

CHEERIO

(T&M: Fosheim/Rølles)

Cheerio, cheerio - bye bye

Cheerio-o, it's too late to try

Cos' I miss you in the morning

And I need you every night

Cheerio-o, cheerio - bye bye

Cheerio, cheerio - bye bye

I will never know the reason why

For a moment we were lovers

For a moment you were mine

Now we it's over cheerio bye-bye

We were running wild

A miss forgotten child

I saw you on the roof top

You're eyes were shining bright

Like a candle in the night

Was it only a game you played for fun?

Did you think you could fly?

Just a memory remains as time goes by

Cheerio, cheerio - bye bye

Cheerio-o, it's too late to try

Cause I miss you in the morning

And I need you every night

Cheerio, cheerio - bye bye

Cheerio, cheerio - bye bye

Cheerio-o, it's too late to try

Cause I miss you in the morning

And I need you every night

Cheerio, cheerio - bye bye

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE

(T&M: Leon Payne)

I love you because you understand, dear

Every single thing I try to do

You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear

I love you, most of all because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me

I know your love will always see me through

I love you for the way you never doubt me

But most of all, I love you 'cause you're you

I love you because my heart is lighter

Every time I'm walking by your side

I love you because the future's brighter

The door to happiness, you open wide

No matter what the world may say about me (about me)

I know your love will always see me through (see me through)

I love you for a hundred thousand reasons

But most of all, I love you 'cause you're you

JAMAICA FAREWELL

(T&M: Irving Louis Burgie/ William Attaway)

Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountaintop

I took a trip on a sailing ship

And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

Ref: But I'm sad to say I'm on my way

Won't be back for many a day

My heart is down, my head is turning around

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swing to and fro

I must declare my that heart is there

Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Ref

Down at the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their head they bear

Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice

And the rum is good any time of year

Ref

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

(Fomin/Raskin)

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 think of all the great things we could do

Those were the days, my friend

We thought they'd never end

We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd live the life we choose

We'd fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way

La la la la la la

La la la la la la…

Those were the days, 

oh yes those were the days

BYE BYE LOVE

(Bryant/Bryant)

Bye bye love, Bye bye happiness

Hello loneliness, I think I'm-a gonna cry

Bye bye love, Bye bye sweet caress

Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die

Bye bye my love, goodbye

There goes my baby with someone new

She sure looks happy, I sure am blue

She was my baby till he stepped in

Goodbye to romance that might have been

Bye bye love, Bye bye happiness

Hello loneliness, I think I'm-a gonna cry

Bye bye love, Bye bye sweet caress

Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die

Bye bye my love goodbye

I'm through with romance, I'm through with love

I'm through with countin' the stars above

And here's the reason that I'm so free

My lovin' baby is through with me

Bye bye love, Bye bye happiness

Hello loneliness, I think I'm-a gonna cry

Bye bye love, Bye bye sweet caress

Hello emptiness, I feel like I could die

Bye bye my love goodbye

Bye bye my love goodbye

Bye bye my love goodbye

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

(Weiss/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 colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands

Saying, "How do you do?"

They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow

They'll learn much more, than I'll never know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world
