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.

All Night Long-- Eagles
We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in 'cause we like to stay up
All night long
We keep on grinnin' till the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum
All night long, all night long
Start in the morning and get the job done
Take care of bus'ness and we have some fun
All night long, all night long
We like a long neck and a good old song
Turn it up and then we sing along
Sing along
We're all stayin' up all night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

Please tell me the title of the song and who sang it (if you know) so I can keep a list for my records..... Thanks so much for helping me out!!!!
The North, South, East and West of your life.
I have only one request of your life...
That you spend it all with me.
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night.
And when you stand before the candles of a cake
Please let me be the one who hears the silent wish you make.
Sung by Frank Sinatra, but I don't know the composer.

Ain’t That Lonely Yet Dwight Yokham
What Might Have Been Little Texas
Amarillo By Morning George Strait
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

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
