“I Want it That Way - By Backstreet Boys

Yeah

You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I your fire?
Your one desire
Yes, I know it's too late
But I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Now I can see that we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance, I want you to know
That deep down inside of me

You are my fire
The one desire
You are (you are, you are, you are)

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake (don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say (oh, yeah)
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say (don't wanna hear you say)
I want it that way

'Cause I want it that way

“Never Had a Friend Like Me” - From Disney’s "Aladdin”

Well, Ali Baba had them 40 thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales
But master, you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how?
See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I'll say

"Mister Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be?"
Let me take your order, jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me, ha-ha-ha
Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre d'
Come on, whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the shah
Say what you wish, it's yours, true dish
How 'bout a little more baklava?
Have some of column A, try all of column B
I'm in the mood to help you, dude
You ain't never had a friend like me
Wah-ah-ah, oh my
Wah-ah-ah, no, no
Wah-ah-ah, my, my

Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this
Out their little hat?
Can your friends go poof?
Hey, looky here, ha-ha!
Can your friends go, "Abracadabra, let 'er rip"
And then make the sucker disappear?

So don'tcha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your charge d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what's your wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so, hey-oh

Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like me
Ya-ha-ha, wah-ha-ha!
You ain't never had a friend like me, ha!

“Into the Forest” - By Ian Rodgers

Standing in the sunlight,
I can feel the wind behind me
I can sit down on the rows of the ground
Just looking for a book to read

Far over the Blue Ridge Mountains,
I can see all the cars passing by
But, when I looked up at my best friend,
He says, "Everything is going to be fine."

Chorus 1
Here we go into the forest!
We'll go back into the waterfalls
I can feel the water, drippling down the happiness
And, that's the way into the forest!

Verse 2
Don't be a fool!
We can take a long hike on Mount Bear's Den
Now, you got to make sure everything is safe
But, to be honest with you, I'd rather go ahead

Chorus 2
Here we go into the forest!
We'll go back into the waterfalls
I can feel the water, drippling down the happiness
And, that's the way into the forest!

(Instrumental Part)

Chorus 3
Here we go into the forest!
We'll go back into the waterfalls
I can feel the water, drippling down the happiness
And, that's the way into the forest!

Here we go into the forest!
We'll go back into the waterfalls
I can feel the water, drippling down the happiness
And, that's the way into the forest!

Edelweiss - From “The Sound of Music”

Edelweiss...*
Edelweiss...
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever...

Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Bless my homeland forever...
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever...

Edelweiss...
Edelweiss...
Bless my homeland forever...

Three Little Birds (Don’t Worry About a Thing) - By Bob Marley

Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying', (this is my message to you)

Singing' don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin', this is my message to you

Singin' don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh
Every little thing gonna be alright, don't worry
Singin' don't worry about a thing, I won't worry
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Singin' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright, I won't worry
Singin', don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singin' don't worry (worry) about a thing, oh no
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Lean on Me - by Bill Withers

Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow

But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...

For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry

I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me
If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me (call me)
If you need a friend
(Call me)
If you ever need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)

If you need a friend
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me) Call me
(Call me)

“How Does it Feel” - Tom Grennan

'Cause I could be at yours on Friday
Two nights at the place we started
It's a long way back from "Sorry"
But here I go
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Just tell me something

I don't know what to tell ya
I don't know what to say
I got into my head, I'm sorry I threw it away
But I'm so glad you came back
Even through all the pain
Let me try mend it, I can promise
I swear that I have changed

Oh, let me give you all of me
Can we just start it out for real?

'Cause I could be at yours on Friday
Two nights at the place we started
It's a long way back from "Sorry"
But here I go
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Just tell me something
Did you miss me?
I've been so messed up since you stopped calling
It's a long way back from "Sorry"
But here I go
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Just tell me something

I had some time to process
I'll take all of the blame
I wasn't thinking
I won't put you through all that again
If you take me back
Then I'ma take you through the facts
Just hold on tight
'Cause I'm the type to make it right
And take you all the way

Oh, let me give you all of me
Can we just start it out for real?

How does it really feel?
We've both waited so long
You're still in my head
It's all I'll ever want
Let's not waste no time
Give it one more try
How does it feel? How does it feel?

“Cups” - by Anna Kendrick

I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle o' whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leavin' tomorrow, what do you say?

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere
Oh, you're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

“Who We Love” - By Sam Smith

Colour the empty space
Kiss in a crowded place
Stand in the summer rain
Tangled in awkward shapes
A new, but familiar taste
You're feeling it all again

It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
And we love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love

Footprints along the sand
Whispers of sweet romance
Sound of a wedding band
Holding hands in the street
No need to be discreet
Finally feeling free

The universe has pulled us closer
I trust whatever's brought me here to you
You can never lose
If love is what you feel then

It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go (so let go, my love)
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
We love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love
