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

Let it be

, ,

 (Lennon /McCartney)

When I find myself in times of trouble, 

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken-hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music,

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, et it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

So let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer, let it be

Morning has broken

, , , ,

(Trad/Farjeon)

Morning has broken like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlight from Heaven

Like the first dewfall on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sailing

, , , ,

T/M: Sutherland/Sutherland

I am sailing, I am sailing, home again 'cross the sea

I am sailing, stormy waters, to be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying, like a bird 'cross the sky

I am flying, passing high clouds, to be near you, to be free

Can you hear me, can you hear me, 

through the dark clouds, far away?

I am dying, forever trying, to be near you, who can say

La, la, la, la…

We are sailing, We are sailing, home again 'cross the sea

We are sailing, stormy waters, to be near you, to be free

to be near you, to be free

to be near you, to be free

Hey Jude

, ,

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid

You were made to go out and get her

The minute you let her under your skin

Then you can begin to make it better

And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

For now you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na

Hey Jude, don't let me down

You have found her, now go and get her

Remember to let her into your heart

Then you can start to make it better

So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin

You're waiting for someone to perform with

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do

The movement you need is on your shoulder

Na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na

Hey Jude, don't make it bad

Take a sad song and make it better

Remember to let her under your skin

Then you'll begin to make it

better, better, better, better, better, better, be…

Na, na, na…

Yesterday

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly

I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go

I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go

I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mmmm….

TIPPERARY

, , ,

Tekst: Jack Judge
Melodi: Harry Williams

Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day,
as the streets are paved with gold, sure ev'ryone was gay;
singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square, 
till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there: 

“It's a long way to Tipperary
it's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
to the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly,
farewell Leicester Square,
it's a long, long way to Tipperary,
but my heart lies there!”

AULD LANG SYNE

, , , ,

Tekst og melodi: Scottish Air.

 

1.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to min’?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and days of lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

2.
And here’s a hand my trusty friend,
And gie´s hand of thine.
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear, &c.

Skal gamalt venskap kverva bort

Norsk tekst: Bjørn Tore André

 

Skal gamalt venskap kverva bort

Og ikkje setja langt

Skal gamalt venskap kverva bort

Og det som ein gong var

 

For det som ein gong var, min ven,

For det som ein gong var,

F.eks drikk den gode skål med deg,

For det som ein gong var!

 

Du tek ditt staup og f.eks tek mitt

Som gamle vener plar.

Jeg drikk den gode skål jeg lag

For det som ein gong var

 

For det som ein gong var, min ven,

For det som ein gong var,

F.eks drikk den gode skål med deg,

For det som ein gong var!
