    Sometime in the Morning
    The Monkees
    (Words and Music by Gerry Goffin and Carole King)

    Sometime in the morning
    A simple thought may occur to you,
    And you hold her,
    And tell her all the things you never told her.
    Your love has shown me things
    I never thought I could see;
    I didn't know
    It could be done so easily.
    Now I know
    You're where it is for me.

    Sometime in the evening
    You're sitting there by the fireside
    And she'll touch you
    And you'll realize how much you never knew before,
    How much you couldn't see.
    You didn't know
    It could be done so easily
    Now you know
    She's all a girl could be.

    Now in her childlike eyes
    You see the beauty there
    You know it was always there
    And you need no longer wear a disguise.

    Sometime in the morning
    You'll just reach out and she will be there,
    Close as the summer air.

    Sometime in the morning she will be there.

    Take a Giant Step
    The Monkeys
    (Words and Music by Gerry Goffin and Carole King)

    Though you've played at love and lost
    And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
    I will melt your heart again.
    Remember the feeling as a child
    When you woke up and morning smiled
    It's time you felt like you did then.
    There's just no percentage in remembering the past
    It's time you learned to live again at last.

    Come with me, leave yesterday behind
    And take a giant step outside your mind.

    You stare at me in disbelief
    You say for you there's no relieve
    But I swear I'll prove you wrong.
    Don't stay in your lonely room
    Just staring back in silent gloom.
    That's not where you belong
    Come with me I'll take you where the tast of life is green
    And everyday holds wonders to be seen.

    Come with me, leave yesterday behind
    And take a giant step outside your mind.

    SAN FRANCISCO
    Scott McKenzie

    And We Danced
    The Hooters
    (R. Hyman / E. Bazilian)

    She was a bebop baby on a hard day's night
    She was hanging on Johnny, he was holding on tight
    Well I could feel her coming from a mile away
    There was no use talking, there was nothing to say
    When the band began to play and play

    And we danced
    Like a wave on the ocean, romanced
    We were liars in love and we danced
    Swept away for a moment by chance
    And we danced and danced and danced

    I'm with my bebop baby at the union hall
    She could dance all night and shake the paint off the walls
    When I saw her smile across the crowded room
    Well I knew we'd have to leave the party soon
    As the band began to play out of tune

    And we danced...

    The endless beat
    She's walking my way
    Hear the music fade when she says
    Are we getting too close?
    Do we dare to get closer?
    The room is spinning and she whispers my name

    And we danced...

    And we danced...

    The Safety Dance
    Men Without Hats

    We can dance if we want to,
    we can leave your friends behind;
    'cause your friends don't dance,
    and if they don't dance,
    well they're no friends of mine.
    Say, we can go where we want to,
    a place that they will never find;
    and we can act like we come from out of this world,
    leave the real one far behind.

    And we can dance...

    We can go when we want to,
    the night is young and so am I;
    and we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
    and surprise them with the victory cry.
    Say, we can act if we want to,
    if we don't nobody will;
    and you can act real rude or totally removed,
    and I can act like an imbecile.

    Say we can dance, we can dance,
    everything's out of control.
    We can dance, we can dance.
    They're doing it from pole to pole.
    We can dance, we can dance
    Everybody look at your hands;
    everybody taken the chance.

    The safety dance
    The safety dance
    The safety dance

    We can dance if we want to,
    we've got all your life and mine;
    as long as we abuse it we are never going to lose it,
    and everything will work out right.
    Say, we can dance if we want to,
    we can leave your friends behind;
    'cause your friends don't dance,
    and if they don't dance,
    well they're no friend of mine.

    The Happening
    Diana Ross and The Supremes

    Hey life, look at me
    I can see the reality
    'Cause when you shook me, took me, outta my world
    I woke up
    Suddenly I just woke up to the happening

    When you find that you left the future behind
    'Cause when you find a tender love
    You don't need to take care of
    Then you better beware of the happening

    One day you're up
    When you turn around
    You find your world is tumbling down
    It happened to me and it can happen to you

    I was sure, I felt secure
    Until love took a detour, yeah!
    Riding high on the top of the world it happened
    Suddenly it just happened
    I saw my dreams torn apart
    When love walked away from my heart
    And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you
    Something happens inside you, the happening

    Now I see life for what it is
    It's not a dream
    It's not a bliss
    It happened to me and it can happen to you
    Ooh, and then it happened
    Ooh, and then it happened
    Ooh, and then it happened

    Is it real?
    Is it fake?
    Is this game of life a mistake?
    'Cause when I lost the love
    I thought was mine for certain
    Suddenly it starts hurting
    I saw the light too late
    When that ficked finger of fate
    Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon
    I woke up
    Suddenly I just woke up

    So sure, I felt secure
    Until love took a detour
    'Cause when you got a tender love
    You don't take care of
    Then you better beware of
    The happening

    Hotel California
    The Eagles

    On a dark desert highway
    Cool wind in my hair
    Warm smell of colitas
    Rising up through the air
    Up ahead in the distance
    I saw a shimmering light
    My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
    I had to stop for the night
    There she stood in the doorway
    I heard the mission bell
    And I was thinking to myself
    This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
    Then she lit up a candle
    And she showed me the way
    There were voices down the corridor
    I thought I heard them say

    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely place
    Such a lovely place (background)
    Such a lovely face
    Plenty of room at the Hotel California
    Any time of year
    Any time of year (background)
    You can find it here
    You can find it here

    Her mind is Tiffany twisted
    She's got the Mercedes bends
    She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
    That she calls friends
    How they dance in the courtyard
    Sweet summer sweat
    Some dance to remember
    Some dance to forget
    So I called up the Captain
    Please bring me my wine
    He said
    We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
    And still those voices are calling from far away
    Wake you up in the middle of the night
    Just to hear them say

    Welcome to the Hotel California
    Such a lovely Place
    Such a lovely Place (background)
    Such a lovely face
    They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
    What a nice surprise
    What a nice surprise (background)
    Bring your alibies

    Mirrors on the ceiling
    Pink champagne on ice
    And she said
    We are all just prisoners here
    Of our own device
    And in the master's chambers
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their steely knives
    But they just can't kill the beast
    Last thing I remember
    I was running for the door
    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
    Relax said the nightman
    We are programed to recieve
    You can check out any time you like
    But you can never leave
    8:31 am
    Last Night
    Az Yet

    Last night, you were so into it
    You told me secrets that
    you never told a soul.
    You were so nervous and
    yet oh so comfortable
    as we explored your image of love.
    I drank your wine
    as you taste mine
    I kissed your lips
    you felt my mind slip
    into your soul
    I almost cried 'cause it was so beautiful.
    Last night, I was inside of you
    Last night, while making love to you
    I saw the sun, the moon
    the mountains and the rivers
    I saw heaven when I made sweet love to you.
    Last night, there was no planning it
    it was so special and
    so very innocent
    we talked of memories
    our favorite fantasies
    as we explored our visions of love
    Deep in the night, right by the fireside
    you felt my candlelight, in your soul
    you felt incredible, I started to explode
    I almost cried cause it was so beautiful.
    Last night, I was inside of you
    That night, while making love to you
    I saw the sun, the moon
    the mountains and the rivers
    I saw heaven when I made sweet love to you.
    Sunlight, red roses,
    the scent of it you, it calms the heart,
    the sight of you, I fall apart.
    Moonlight, the things we notice
    when we're in love, thats when it comes
    and I'm so, I'm so
    in love.
    I saw the sun, the moon
    the mountains and the rivers
    I saw heaven when I made sweet love to you.

    Tao Te Ching-1
    The tao that can be told
    is not the eternal Tao
    The name that can be named
    is not the eternal Name.

    The unnamable is the eternally real.
    Naming is the origin
    of all particular things.

    Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
    Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.

    Yet mystery and manifestations
    arise from the same source.
    This source is called darkness.

    Darkness within darkness.
    The gateway to all understanding.

    "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."

    What It Takes
    Aerosmith

    There goes my old girlfriend, there's another diamond ring
    And, uh, all those late night promises I guess they don't mean a thing
    So baby, what's the story? Did you find another man?
    Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
    When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away.
    I used to feel your fire
    But now it's cold inside
    And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

    Chorus:
    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me what it takes to let you go.


    Yeah
    Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E. Fine
    but your love made me a prisoner, yeah my heart's been doing time
    You spent me up like money, then you hung me out to dry
    It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
    Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes


    Chorus
    Guitar!


    Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
    Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
    Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
    Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me


    Chorus


    Tell me what it takes to let you go
    Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
    Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
    Without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of the dice?
    Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
    No no no no 'cause I don't wanna burn in paradise
    Ooo Let go, let go, let go,
    let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go,
    let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
    I don't wanna burn, I don't wanna burn

    Tears In Heaven
    Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

    Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
    Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on,
    'Cause I know I don't belong
    here in heaven.

    Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven?
    Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?
    I'll find my way through night and day,
    'Cause I know I just can't stay
    here in heaven.

    Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
    Time can break your heart, have you begging please,
    begging please.

    Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
    And I know there'll be no more
    tears in heaven.

    Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
    Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
    I must be strong and carry on,
    'Cause I know I don't belong
    here in heaven.

    You make me feel all right...

    A Lovers Concerto
    (Recorded by: The Toys (1965)
    Released in September 1965, "A Lover's Concerto" on the Dynavoice label went #4 on R&B;, crossed over to #2 on the US pop charts, and also became a #5 hit in England. In 1965 the song sold over a million copies.
    Did you know?
    Songwriting duo Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell took a classical finger exercise from Bach and put a Motown bassline to it -
    and "A Lovers Concerto" was born.)
    ________________________________________________________________
    How gentle is the rain that falls softly on the meadow
    Birds high up in the trees serenade the clouds with their melodies

    Oh, see there beyond the hill, the bright colours of the rainbow.
    Some magic from above made this day for us just to fall in love

    Now I belong to you from this day until forever,
    Just love me tenderly and I'll give to you every part of me.

    Oh, don't ever make me cry through long lonely nights without love.
    Be always true to me, keep this day in your heart eternally.
    Some day we shall return to this place upon the meadow.
    We'll walk out in the rain, see the birds above singing once again.

    Oh, you hold me in your arms, and say once again you love me,
    And if your love is true, everything will be just as wonderful.

    You'll hold me in your arms, and say once again you love me,
    And if your love is true, everything will be just as wonderful.

    She's In Love With The Boy
    Trisha Yearwood

    Katie's sittin' on the old front porch
    Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
    There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
    In this one-horse town
    Over yonder comin' up the road in a beat-up Chevy-truck
    Her boyfriend Tommy, he's layin' on the horn
    Splashin' through the mud and the muck
    Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
    When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
    But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
    She'd follow Tommy anywhere

    She's in love with the boy
    She's in love with the boy
    She's in love with the boy

    And even if they had to run away
    She's gonna marry that boy someday

    Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
    Parked in the very last row
    They're too busy holdin' on to one another
    To even care about the show
    Later on outside in the tastee freeze
    Tommy slips something on her hand
    He says my high school ring will have to do
    Till I can buy a wedding band
    Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
    When it comes to brains, he got the short end of the stick
    But Katie's young and man, she just don't care
    She'd follow Tommy anywhere

    She's in love with the boy
    She's in love with the boy
    She's in love with the boy
    And even if they had to run away
    She's gonna marry that boy someday

    Her daddy's waitin' up 'til half past twelve
    When they come sneakin' up the walk
    He says young lady get up to your room
    While me and junior have a talk
    But mama breaks in, says don'tlose your temper
    It wasn't very long ago
    When you yourself was just a hay-seed plowboy
    Who didn't have a row to hoe
    My daddy says you wasn't worth a lick
    When it came to brains you got the short end of the sticks
    But he was wrong and honey you are too
    Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you

    She's in love with the boy
    She's in love with the boy
    She's in love with the boy
    What's meant to be will always find a way
    She's gonna marry that boy someday

    Wide Open Spaces
    Dixie Chicks

    Who Doesn't Know What I'm Talking About
    Who's Never Left Home, Who's Never Struck Out
    To Find A Dream And A Life Of Their Own
    A Place In The Clouds, A Foundation Of Stone


    Many Precede And Many Will Follow
    A Young Girl's Dream No Longer Hollow
    It Takes The Shape Of A Place Out West
    But What It Holds For Her, She Hasn't Yet Guessed


    Chorus:
    She Needs Wide Open Spaces
    Room To Make Her Big Mistakes
    She Needs New Faces
    She Knows The High Stakes


    She Travelled This Road As A Child
    Wide Eyed And Grinning, She Never Tired
    But Now She Won't Be Coming Back With The Rest
    If These Are Life's Lessons, She'll Take This Test


    Repeat Chorus
    She Knows The High Stakes


    As Her Folks Drive Away, Her Dad Yells, "Check The Oil!"
    Mom Stares Out The Window And Says, "I'm Leaving My Girl"
    She Says, It Didn't Seem Like That Long Ago
    When She Stood There And Let Her Own Folks Know


    Repeat Chorus
    She Knows The High Stakes
    She Knows The High Stakes
    She Knows The High Stakes
    She Knows The High Stakes

    Knock Three Times

    Hey girl what-cha doin down there
    Dancin' alone every nite while I live right above you
    I can hear your music playin'
    I can feel your body swayin'
    One floor below me you don't even know me, I love you.

    Oh my darlin' knock three times on the ceiling if you want me, umm
    Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
    Oh my sweetness (knock knock knock) means you'll meet me in the hallway
    Woah, twice on the pipe (clang clang) means you ain't gonna show.

    If you look out your window tonite
    Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
    Read how many times I saw you
    How in my silence I adored you
    And only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart.

    Oh my darlin' knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
    Hmm, twice on the pipe if the answer is no
    Woah my sweetness (knock knock knock) means you'll meet me in the hallway
    Woah, twice on the pipe (clang clang) means you ain't gonna show.

    Woah, I can hear the music playin', I can feel your body swayin'
    One floor below me you don't even know me, I love you.

    Oh my darlin' knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
    Woah, twice on the pipe if the answer is no
    Oh my sweetness (knock knock knock) means you'll meet me in the hallway
    Umm, twice on the pipe (clang clang) means you ain't gonna show.
