Johnny Mathis - When a Child is Born.

Another one of those lovely, hope-filled songs for the sentimental.

Johnny Mathis: When a child is born: 1976: Lyrics and Video

“A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happens because the world is waiting,
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter,
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever

It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.”

Help Your children
And don't let them fall
By the side of the road, mmm...mmm...

To love one another
That Heaven might find
A place in their hearts

And I know He's mine forever
Oh, in my heart
We've got to walk on
Walk on through temptation
'Cause His love and His wisdom

And I know the Truth
And His words will be our salvation
Lift up our hearts
To be thankful and glad

Bob Marley: One Love: Album Exodus: 1977: Lyrics and Video

"One Love! One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying' (One Love!)
Hear the children crying' (One Heart!)
Saying' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Saying' let's get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart
What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love!)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart!)
All right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
One more thing

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love!)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!)
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

Sayin' One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading' to mankind! (One Love!)
Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right.”

Pink: Feel Good Time: 2003: Lyrics and Video



This song is 10 years young! It’s well on its way to becoming a classic in my collection

"Doo, doo, doo
We go where we like, we got over time
We get paid to rattle our chains
We go in the back, paint our money black
Spend it on the enemy
Sleeping in the church, riding in the dirt
Put a banner over my grave
Make a body work, make a beggar hurt
Sell me something big and untamed
Now our time, real good time
(Doo, doo, doo)
Now our time, a real good time
(Doo, doo, doo)
Now our time
(Said now our time)
A real good time
(It's a really good time)
Baby, be all mine
We know how to pray, party everyday
Make our desolation look plain
Riding in a rut, till the powers cut
We don't even have a good name
Sleeping in the church, riding in the dirt
Put a banner over my grave
Make a body work, make a beggar hurt
Sell me something big and untamed
Now our time, real good time, ooh
(Doo, doo, doo)
Now our time, a real good time
(Doo, doo, doo)
Now our time
(Now it our time)
A real good time
Baby, be all mine
Doo, doo, doo, baby
(Sell me somethin' big and untamed)
Now are time, real good time, oh
(Doo, doo, doo)
Now our time
(I said now our time)
(Doo, doo, doo)
Real good time
(It's a real good time)
Now are time, real good time
Feel good
Real good, it's the same old same
Real good
Feel good, don't got no more brains
Feel good
Real good, it's the same old same, yeah
Feel good
Real good, I don't got no more brain."

Diana Ross: Upside Down: 1980: Lyrics and Video

“I said upside down
You're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I see to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

I know you got charm and appeal
You always play the field
I'm crazy you are mine
As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottomline

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Instinctively you give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I see to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
But no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Upside down you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me
I see to thee respectfully

Upside down you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me
I see to thee respectfully

I said a upside down you're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me.”

Ashford and Simpson: Solid:1984:Lyrics and Video

“And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learn to trust
Not run away

It was no time to play
We build it up
Build it up
Build it up
And now it's solid

Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got

Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot

You didn't turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together

You didn't bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We could make it better

And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learn to trust
Not run away

It was no time to play
We build it up
Build it up
Build it up
And now it's solid

Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got
Yes, it is

Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot

Gone with the wind
Another friend got in between
Tried to separate us

Knock, knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to

And with that feeling
We were willing
To take a chance
So against all odds

We made a start
We got serious
This wouldn't turn to dust
We build it up
Build it up
Build it up

And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got

Solid, yes, it is
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still
Hot, hot, hot, hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot

Solid, solid as a rock
You know it, well
You know it, baby

Solid, solid as a rock
Solid, don't leave me, baby
Solid as a rock

Solid, solid as a rock
Solid, solid as a rock
Good, good thing
Solid, solid, solid
As a rock.”

Mr Big:To be with you:1991:Lyrics and Video

“Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up, who cares about
Little boys that talk too much

I've seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Why be alone when we can be together baby?
You can make my life worthwhile
I can make you start to smile

When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
Come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Just to be the next to be with you.”

Blue Eyes

We're gonna grow you up slowly
We're gonna chain you steal
Sand in the hand
We'll tell you in the end
Nester things and slumber
While I feed my arms for love murder

Round about round about round about now
sorry to say
the others didn't make it
Round about round about round about now
You're my ticket out of here

Devour you slowly
Love you today
Sand in the hand
We'll tell you in the end
Nester things and slumber
For it's a common

Round about round about round about now
sorry to say
the others didn't make it
Round about round about round about now
You're my ticket out of here

Daddy's little blue eyes i come for you
I aint gonna leave her behind

System of a Down "Toxicity"


Conversion, software version 7.0
looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub
eating seeds as a pastime activity
the toxicity of our city, of our city
Now, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder, disorder
Now somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep
disorder, disorder, disorder
More wood for the fires, loud neighbours
flashlight riveries caught in the headlights of a truck
eating seeds as a pastime activity
the toxicity of our city, of our city

Now, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder, disorder
Now somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
disorder, disorder, disorder
Now, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder, disorder
Now somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep
disorder, disorder, disorder
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man's hearts
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man's hearts

Kenny Roger and Dolly Parton: Islands in the stream: 1983: Lyrics and Video

[Kenny Rogers]
“Baby when I met you, there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine toothed comb
I was soft inside, there was something going on

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
You do something to me, that I can't explain
Hold me closer, and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart, we got something goin' on

[Kenny Rogers]
Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Honest love, we feel, needs no conversation
And we ride it together, uh huh
Making love with each other, uh huh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

[Dolly Parton]
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you just walk in the the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
But that won't happen to us, and we got no doubt
Too deep in love, and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

[Dolly Parton]
No more will you cry
Baby I will hurt you never

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, uh huh
Makin' love with each other, uh huh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

[Kenny Rogers]
(Sail away)

[Dolly Parton]
(Ohhh, sail away with me)

[Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton]
Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong
Sail away with me, to another world
And we rely on each other, uh huh
From one lover to another, uh huh .”

Barry Gibb and Babara Streisand: Guilty: Lyrics and original studio Video

Barbra
“Shadows falling , baby , we stand alone
Out on the street anybody you meet got a heartache of their own
(it oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be lonely or sad
(it oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin
You battle on with the love youre livin on
You gotta be mine
We take it away
Its gotta be night and say
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb any mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
I dont wanna hear your goodbye
Oh!
Barry:
Aaah!
Pulses racing , darling
How grand we are
Little by little we meet in the middle
Theres danger in the dark
(it oughta be illegal)
Make it a crime to be out in the cold
(it oughta be illegal)
You got a reason for livin
You battle on with the love youre buildin on
Both:
You gotta be mine
We take it away
Its gotta be night and day
Just a matter of time
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Barbra:
I dont wanna hear your goodbye
Barry:
Dont wanna hear your goodbye
Both
I dont wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of
Our love will climb and mountain near or far , we are
And we never let it end
We are devotion
And we got nothing to be sorry for
Our love is one in a million
Eyes can see that we got a highway to the sky
Dont wanna hear your goodbye
Dont wanna hear your
And we got nothing to be guilty of.”

I Got You Babe by Sonny and Cher


HER: They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
HIM: Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HER: They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
HIM: I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HIM: I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
HER: And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

HER: Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
HIM: Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

HIM: Babe
BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe

HIM: I got you to hold my hand
HER: I got you to understand
HIM: I got you to walk with me
HER: I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so

BOTH: I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
