The Carpenters - Only Yesterday

CarpentersVEVO

After long enough of being alone

Everyone must face their share of loneliness

In my own time nobody knew

The pain I was goin' through

And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came

Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me

You were the dawn breaking the night

The promise of morning light

Filling the world surrounding me

When I hold you

(*) Baby, Baby

Feels like maybe things will be all right

Baby, Baby

Your love's made me

Free as a song singin' forever

(**) Only yesterday when I was sad

And I was lonely

You showed me the way to leave

The past and all its tears behind me

Tomorrow may be even brighter than today

Since I threw my sadness away

Only Yesterday

I've found my home here in your arms

Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be

Life waits for us

Share it with me

The best is about to be

So much is left for us to see

When I hold you

Repeat (*)

Repeat (**) twice

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain

23118023·

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm

I know 

It's been coming for some time

When it's over, so they say 

It'll rain a sunny day

I know

Shinin' down like water 

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain?

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before

Sun is cold and rain is hot

I know

Been that way for all my time

'Til forever, on it goes

Through the circle, fast and slow 

I know

It can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain? 

I wanna know 

Have you ever seen the rain

Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yeah!

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain? 

I wanna know

Have you ever seen the rain

Comin' down on a sunny day?

Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

FlorenceMachineVEVO

Happiness hit her like a train on a track

Coming towards her stuck still no turning back

She hid around corners and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled

With every bubble she sank with her drink

And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father

Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your longing behind

You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can't you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you

Except everything you had

and what was left after that too, oh

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the head

Struck from a great height

by someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can't you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father

Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your loving behind

You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

Can't you hear the horses?

'Cause here they come

The dog days are over

The dog days are done

The horses are coming

So you better run

Elvis Presley - City By Night

annemaree

A Bill Giant / Bernie Baum / Florence Kay song written for Elvis to record in Los Angeles in June 1966---the band laid down the instrumentals at Radio Recorders on June 28th, Elvis overdubbed his vocals at the MGM Recording Stage two days later---destination the Double Trouble soundtrack ---in the film, additional instruments were overdubbed.

The song has since appeared on the Double Features and FTD releases for th movie---the FTD one features an alternate take.

When shadows beckon on dim-lit avenues
Night people hear the call
From hidden alleys, secret rendezvous
They come out one and all

The city by night I'm wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake

Whatever sets off the spark
A magic glow lights the dark
Then I'm intrigued by the sight
Of the city by night

Those crowded nightclubs, those picturesque cafes
Are scenes no one forgets
And I'm enchanted, music softly plays
By dancing silhouettes

The city by night I'm wide awake
It never sleeps make no mistake

The evening's full of surprise
Its magic opens my eyes
And I'm intrigued by the sight

Of the city by night, yeah

BILL GIANT, BERNIE BAUM, FLORENCE KAYE
