You You better You better know Haven't you heard? It's nothing new We've been around for a minute A minute or two You, You better, You better know Haven't you seen, It's all around Can't avoid tuning in Tuning into this sound You! You better! You better know! You better know what! You better know what you're dealin' with. You better... Life is the meaning of this tune It's over all too soon Sing it like you'll never sing again you're dealin' with it then It's from the heart It's from the soul It's where we want to go and It's from the pain It's from the love It's here it's gone Life's a dream to be realized The music never dies play it like you'll never play again you're dealing with it then you're dealing with it then

First time I saw you It felt like it was meant to be There was, between us, something almost instantly I wasn't looking, But it wasn't hard to see I think you're right for me Right when you kissed me I wanted to scream out and yell This time could be it Though it was too soon to tell It's been a while now And everything is going well I think you're right for me Your smile and your laugh Is all that I need Do you wanna share your love With just me? I want to keep you forever and ever and ever I want to keep you forever and ever and ever I want to keep you forever and a day (inst.) Haven't felt like this before You leave me always wanting more I could just stay in your arms right here I could do it all, long as you are near Standing right on top of the world with you Where nothing seems impossible to have or do Wished you'd come along many times before And now that you are here I wouldn't ask for more 'Cuz your smile and your laugh Is all that I need Do you wanna share your love With just me? I want to keep you forever and ever and ever I want to keep you forever and ever and ever I want to keep you forever and a day I want to hold you forever and ever and ever I want to kiss you forever and ever and ever I want to keep you forever and a day I want to love you forever and ever I want to touch you forever and ever I want to keep you forever and a day

Hold My Hand 05:32
Your eyes, they tell a story of someone who's searching but can't find the way Your lips stay sealed, you won't reveal, you feel you might not make it another day Your heart it breaks, your body aches, all the mistakes and from the path you've gone astray But I'm right here, I see it clear, so don't you fear and all that there is left to say Will you just hold my hand? Will you just hold my hand? I really understand Hold my hand! You, I'll stand by You've had a hard time, for a long time, soon it's your time, only when the time is right I know it's hard to hear the noise when all you want to do is fall asleep at night Don't want to hurt you or desert you but alert you that it's gonna be alright And I'm right here, I see it clear, so don't you fear, you're not alone in this fight Will you just hold my hand? Will you just hold my hand? I really understand Hold my hand! This life would be so strange If no one had a thing to change And within you I see Everything that you want to be So please do not lose sight Hope hard, be strong and hold on tight Believe in all that there could be, if not for you, then for me Your feet have traveled down this lonely road, alone, but the right path is near Your ears have tuned it out before and now it's yours to learn, if you want to hear Your body knows if it wallows in all your woes the end result is severe And I'm right here, I see it clear, so don't you fear now what I'll say is so sincere Will you just hold my hand? Will you just hold my hand? I really understand Hold my hand Your feet have traveled down this lonely road, alone, but the right path is near Your ears have tuned it out before and now it's yours to learn, if you want to hear Your body knows if it wallows in all your woes the end result is severe And I'm right here, I see it clear, so don't you fear now what I'll say is so sincere Will you just hold my hand? Will you just hold my hand? I really understand Hold my hand

Round and round and round and round and round in circles oh what fun to be young and to have no cares at all What goes up must come down What goes 'round comes around Life's a carousel and the world is one big playground Round and round and round and round and round Keeps turning Goes so fast right before You can even blink an eye What is lost can be found The clock can't be rewound Keep your feet on the ground when you're spinning round and round Spinning round and around spinning round and around spinning around Spinning round and around spinning round The seasons pass us by Round and around and around and around and around we go It never ends And who would it to When you can spend the time amongst your friends playing and Spinning round

Waking Sleeping Breathing Speaking Moving Pausing Doing Dreaming Holding, hoping there's a mark to be made Can one man change it all? Watching Thinking Doubting Trusting Laughing Crying Hating, then Loving Holding, hoping there's a mark to be made Can one man change it all? Small, not tall Small, not tall And I'm feeling Small, not tall Growing Shrinking Jumping Falling Giving Getting Guessing but Knowing Holding, hoping there's a mark to be made Can one man change it all? Small, not tall Small, not tall And I'm feeling Small, not tall I'm not in this alone Let me be heard and known So many lives out there Each with something to share Small, not tall Small, not tall And I'm feeling Small, not tall

Happiness 05:47

You said you've got it But you don't have it Can't live without it So I thought it through And, I hate to have to say goodbye but you have yet to try all that you said you'd do You did not need me Now I won't you need you There's no way out here So I've thought it through A handshake will do just fine and you take what's yours I'll take mine That's all there's left to do The sun's shining bright It's a brand new day Bad vibes away It's all okay We can move on Forgive and forget and I've been much stronger Since I've thought it through If you call my dreams demands, it's clear that we have different plans but it's not up to you, especially since I've thought it through

Hey Jude 06:28

Time to go Time to go Minutes Fly I move slow Got them all thinking I won't show Time to go Time to go Hurry up Can't be late Hate to make Someone wait It's a habit I Must outgrow Time to go Time to go Stop the clock for me Just so much to do you see I'll let you know when to Restart it when I'm through Au revoire, Adios At this rate Cutting close There's no time to sit And wallow Time to go, time to go Time to go Time to go I'm always Moving slow Got no room for a Quick hello Time to go Time to go On the road Drive with rage Go so fast I can't gauge Gives me nothing but Vertigo Time to go Time to go Everyone, aside Don't you know I'm passing by And though I want to quit I think I might make it Cheerio and good day Now move out of my way Swift and speedy is my motto Time to go, time to go

[Verse] It's a frightening thing, the mood the seasons bring My sentiments pass with the wind In summer loves ascends, and fall signals the end The winter makes me seem thick skinned. In spring I simply can't deny All those feelings that I've held inside, for [Chorus] When the sun comes out my mind turns to you The warmth reminds me of your smile and embrace When the birds reveal their song my heart hums for you It's like the serenade was meant just for us two and I recall the joy and thrill of it all as we lay down on a carpet of roses and violets When the grass turns green I start feeling blue Cuz I knew that I forgot what our love was about When the sun comes out
