    This is one of my favorite songs....
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6yPSeDlcrI

    Seasons of Love

    525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
    525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
    In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
    In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
    In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
    How about love? How about love? How
    about love? Measure in love.
    Seasons of love.


    525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan.
    525,600 minutes - how can you measure the life of a woman or man?


    In truths that she
    learned,
    Or in times that he cried.
    In bridges he burned,
    Or the way that she died....


    It's time now to sing out,
    the story never ends let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.
    How about love!
    How about love! How about love!
    Measure in love.
    Seasons of love! Seasons of love.

    John Denver :
    Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.
    Susnshine in my eye can make me cry.
    Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
    Sunhine almost always makes me high

    If I had a day that I could give you
    I’d give to you a day just like today
    If I had a song that I could sing for you
    I’d sing a song to make you feel this way

    Ballad Of The Green Berets


    by SSgt Barry Sadler


    Fighting soldiers from the sky
    Fearless men who jump and die
    Men who mean just what they say
    The brave men of the Green Beret

    Silver wings upon their chest
    These are men, America's best
    One hundred men we'll test today
    But only three win the Green Beret

    Trained to live, off nature's land
    Trained in combat, hand to hand
    Men who fight by night and day
    Courage deep, from the Green Beret

    Silver wings upon their chest
    These are men, America's best
    One hundred men we'll test today
    But only three win the Green Beret

    Back at home a young wife waits
    Her Green Beret has met his fate
    He has died for those oppressed
    Leaving her this last request

    Put silver wings on my son's chest
    Make him one of America's best
    He'll be a man they'll test one day
    Have him win the Green Beret
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    The Marvelous Toy by Peter Paul and Mary

    It went "Zip" when it moved, and "Bop" when it stopped,
    and "Whirrr" when it stood still.
    I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will.

    Don’t Need No Memories Hangin’ ‘Round Roseanne Cash & Bobby Bare

    Go Rest High On That Mountain Vince Gill
    I know your life
    On earth was troubled
    And only you could know the pain
    You weren't afraid to face the devil
    You were no stranger to the rain

    Go rest high on that mountain
    ‘Cause, Son, your work on earth is done
    Go to Heaven a shoutin'
    Love for the Father and the Son

    Oh, how we cried the day you left us
    And gathered round your grave to grieve
    Wish I could see the angels’ faces
    When they hear your sweet voice sing

    Go rest high on that mountain
    ‘Cause, Son, your work on earth is done
    Go to Heaven a shoutin'
    Love for the Father and the Son

    Go rest high on that mountain
    ‘Cause, Son, your work on earth is done
    Go to Heaven a shoutin'
    Love for the Father and the Son

    16TH AVENUE Lacy J. Dalton - 1982 (Tom Schuyler)
    From the corners of the country
    From the cities and the farms
    With years and years of livin'
    Tucked up underneath their arms
    They walked away from everything
    Just to see a dream come true
    So, God bless the boys who make the noise
    On 16th Avenue

    With a million dollar spirit
    And an old flat-top guitar
    They drive to town with all they own
    In a hundred dollar car
    `Cause one time someone told them
    About a friend of a friend they knew
    Who owns, you know, a studio
    On 16th Avenue

    Now some are born to money
    They've never had to say "Survive"
    And others swing a nine-pound hammer
    Just to stay alive
    There's cowboys, drunks and Christians
    Mostly white and black and blue
    They've all dialed the phone collect to home
    From 16th Avenue

    Ah, but then one night in some empty room
    Where no curtains ever hung
    Like a miracle some golden words
    Roll off of someone's tongue
    And after years of being nothin'
    They're all looking right at you
    And for a while they'll go in style
    On 16th Avenue

    Hey, it looks so uneventful
    So quiet and discreet
    But a lot of lives where changed
    Down on that little one-way street
    `Cause they walked away from everything
    Just to see a dream come true
    So, God bless the boys who make the noise
    On 16th Avenue

    From the corners of the country
    From the cities and the farms
    With years and years of livin'
    Tucked up underneath their arms
    They walked away from everything
    Just to sing for me and you.........FADE
