Happy New Year!!!

"Psalm 23"

Happy New Year
[ABBA]

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...


Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I


Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...


Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I


Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...


Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Merry Christmas!!!

Beautiful - By Christina Aguilera

Every day is so wonderful

And suddenly, it's hard to breathe

Now and then, I get insecure

From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say

Words can't bring me down

I am beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring me down

So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious

So consumed in all your doom

Trying hard to fill the emptiness

The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone

Is that the way it is?

You are beautiful no matter what they say

Words can't bring you down

You are beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring you down

So don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do

(No matter what we do)

No matter what we say

(No matter what we say)

We're the song inside the tune

Full of beautiful mistakes

And everywhere we go

(And everywhere we go)

The sun will always shine

(Sun will always shine)

But tomorrow we might awake

On the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words won't bring us down

We are beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring us down

So, don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today

At Your Side - The Corrs (MTV Unplugged)

When the daylight's gone, and you're on your own
And you need a friend, just to be around
I will comfort you, I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through, I will understand
And you`ll know that...


I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together, we'll survive
Through the haste & hurry
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone
And you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side


If life's standing still, and your soul's confused
And you cannot find what road to choose
If you make mistakes (make mistakes)
You won't let me down (let me down)
I will still believe (still believe)
I will turn around
And you know that


I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone
And you've nowhere to turn
I'll be at your side


I'll be at your side
I'll be at your side
You know that


I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone
You've got somewhere to go
I'll be at your side


I'll be at your side
I'll be right there for you
(Together we'll survive)
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side, if you feel like you're alone
You've got somewhere to go
'Coz I'm at your side
Yeeeah, I'll be right there for you
I'll be right there for you yeah
I'm right at your side

Bruno Mars - "Just The Way You Are"

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say


(CHORUS:)
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

(REPEAT CHORUS)

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

(REPEAT CHORUS)

"High (Forever You And Me)" (Lighthouse Family)

When you're close to tears remember / Someday it'll all be over / One day we're gonna get so high /  Though it's darker than December / What's ahead is a different colour / One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days /  When we were close to the end / And wonder how we made it through the night / At the end of the day / Remember the way / We stayed so close to the end / We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be / Forever, you and me / You will / Always keep it flying high in the sky / Of love

Don't you think it's time you started / Doing what we always wanted / One day we're gonna get so high / Cause even the impossible / Is easy when we got each other / One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days / When we were close to the end / And wonder how we made it through the night / At the end of the day / Remember the way / We stayed so close to the end / We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be

Forever, you and me

You will

Always keep it flying high in the sky

Of love

Cause we are gonna be / Forever, you and me / You will / Always keep it flying high in the sky / Of love

And at the end of the day remember the days / When we were close to the end / And wonder how we made it through the night / At the end of the day / Remember the way / We stayed so close to the end / We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be / Forever, you and me / You will / Always keep it flying high in the sky /Of love...

"Beautiful" (By Carole King)

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face / And show the world all the love in your heart / Then people gonna treat you better / You're gonna find, yes, you will / That you're beautiful as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing / I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by / Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing / And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face / And show the world all the love in your heart / Then people gonna treat you better / You're gonna find, yes, you will / That you're beautiful as you feel

I have often asked myself the reason for sadness / In a world where tears are just a lullaby / If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness / Maybe not, oh, but we can only try

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face / And show the world all the love in your heart / Then people gonna treat you better / You're gonna find, yes, you will / That you're beautiful as you feel

You've got to get up every morning / Put a great big smile on your face / Cause you're part... / You're an important part... / Yes, you're part of the human race

Yes and you are beautiful (beautiful) / You know you are beautiful (beautiful) / You're beautiful as you feel (as you feel) / You are beautiful as you feel / Beautiful as you feel

Song: "One Small World"

Song: "It’s up to me and you!"

"Don't Stop Believing" - Glee - cover

Just a small town girl / livin' in a lonely world / She took the midnight train goin' anywhere / Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit / He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smoky room / The smell of wine and cheap perfume / For a smile they can share the night / It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting / Up and down the boulevard / Their shadows searching in the nights / Streetlights, people / Living just to find emotion / Hiding somewhere in the nights

Working hard to get my fill, / Everybody wants a thrill / Payin' anything to roll the dice / Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose / Some are born to sing the blues / And now the movie never ends / It goes on and on and on and on

Don't stop believin / Hold on to that feelin' / Streetlight, people

(repeat)

Don't stop!

"Glee" - Football players dancing "Single Ladies"

Fun House (By Pink)

I dance around this empty house / Tear us down, throw you out

Screaming down the halls / Spinning all around and now we fall

Pictures framing up the past / Your taunting smirk behind the glass / This museum full of ash / Once a tickle, now a rash

This used to be a Funhouse / But now it’s full of evil clowns / It’s time to start the countdown / I’m gonna burn it down, down, down / I’m gonna burn it down

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun

Echoes knocking on locked doors / All the laughter from before / I’d rather live out on the street / Than in this haunted memory

I’ve called the movers, called the maids / We’ll try to exorcise this place / Drag my mattress to the yard / Crumble, tumble house of cards

This used to be a Funhouse / But now it’s full of evil clowns / It’s time to start the countdown / I’m gonna burn it down, down, down

This used to be a Funhouse / But now it’s full of evil clowns / It’s time to start the countdown / I’m gonna burn it down, down, down / I’m gonna burn it down

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun

I’m crawling through the doggy door / My key don’t fit my life no more / I’ll change the drapes, I’ll break the plates / I’ll find a new place, burn this f**** down

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

Do, do, do, do, da, da, da, da

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

(9, 8 )

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

(7, 6)

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

(5, 4, 3)

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do

(2, 1)

This used to be a Funhouse / But now it’s full of evil clowns / It’s time to start the countdown / I’m gonna burn it down, down, down

This used to be a Funhouse / But now it’s full of evil clowns / It’s time to start the countdown / I’m gonna burn it down, down, down / I’m gonna burn it down
