Can't Help Falling in Love
By Elvis Presly
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you.

Rose Garden
By Lynn Anderson
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime.
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden.
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time.

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden.
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can.
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden.

That's Amore
By Dean Martin
In Napoli where love is king
When boy meets girl here's what they say…
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too
much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella.
When the stars make you drool just like a pasta
fazool
That's amore
When you dance down the street with a cloud at
your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not
dreaming signore
Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore.

When the stars make you drool just like a pasta
fazool
That's amore.
When you dance down the street with a cloud at
your feet
You're in love
When you walk in a dream but you know you're not

Scuzza me, but you see, back in old Napoli
That's amore
Amore, that's amore.

Bring Me Sunshine
By Morecambe & Wise
Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter, all the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
So much joy you can give
To each brand new bright tomorrow.
Make me happy
Through the years
Never bring me any tears
Let your arms be as warm
As the sun from up above
Bring me fun
Bring me sunshine
Bring me Love.
Bring me sunshine in your smile
Bring me laughter, all the while
In this world where we live
There should be more happiness
So much joy you can give
To each brand new bright tomorrow.

Make me happy
Through the years
Never bring me any tears
Let your arms be as warm
As the sun from up above.
Bring me fun
Bring me sunshine
Bring me Love, sweet love
Bring me fun
Bring me sunshine
Bring me Love
Hey!

Rhinestone Cowboy
By Glen Campbell
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow in the rain.
There's been a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me…
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone.
Well, I really don't mind the rain
And the smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin'
the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
8
There'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
Like a rhinestone cowboy

Take Me Home, Country Roads
By John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads.
All my memories, gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
10
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday,
yesterday…
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads.

Golden Jubilee
By Patricia Maguire
Way down in the county Kerry,
In a place they call Tralee
A fine old couple they lived there,
Kate and Pat Magee.
They were going to have a party
On their Golden Jubilee
Now Kate says she to Pat Magee
Come and listen here to me.
Put on your old knee-britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat,
Put on your old cabin
For today's our Golden Wedding
And I'll have you all to know
Just how we looked when we were wed,
Fifty years ago.
Oh, well do I remember
How we danced on the village green
You held me in your arms, dear Pat,
And called me your cailin
Your hair was like a raven's wing
But now it's turning grey
Come over here ould sweetheart dear,
And hear's what I've to say.
12
Put on your old knee-britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat,
Put on your old cabin
For today's our Golden Wedding
And I'll have you all to know
Just how we looked when we were wed,
Fifty years ago.
And well do I remember, when first I was you bride
In the little chapel on the hill,
Where we stood side be side
Of good friends we've had many,
Of troubles we've had few
Come over here ould sweetheart dear,
And here's what you must do.
Put on your old knee-britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat,
Put on your old cabin
For today's our Golden Wedding
And I'll have you all to know
Just how we looked when we were wed,
Fifty years ago.

The White Cliffs Of Dover
By Vera Lynn
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free.
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again.
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
The shepherd will tend his sheep
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again.
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see

We’ll Meet Again
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
So will you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singin' this song.
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away.
So will you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go
I was singin' this song.
We`ll meet again,
Don`t know where,
Don`t know when
But I know we`ll meet again some sunny day.

Achy Breaky Heart
By Billy Ray Cyrus
You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lips
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me one-day
But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man.
