“I Won’t Say I’m In Love” - from “Hercules”

… If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!

… Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
He's the Earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, we can see right through you
Girl, ya can't conceal it
We know how ya feel and
Who you're thinking of

… No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no

… You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh-oh

… It's too cliche
I won't say I'm in love

… I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out
Oh

… You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby, we're not buying
Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad

… No chance, now way
I won't say it, no, no

… Give up, give in
Check the grin you're in love

… This scene won't play,
I won't say I'm in love

… You're doin flips read our lips
You're in love

… You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it

… Girl, don't be proud
It's O.K. you're in love

… Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'm in love

“The Good In Everything” - by Daniel Trush & Gerry Powers

Sometimes we are too quick to judge

We’re set in our ways and we just can’t budge

When we jump to a quick conclusion

What we think we see might be an illusion

To see someone for who they really are

Is a challenge sometimes, it can be so hard

Underneath what you might perceive

Is another person who lives and breathes

Chorus:

If we look at the world with softer eyes

We just might be in for a big surprise

‘Cause no matter what the new day brings

I’m gonna try to find the good in everything

Say hello the way you want to be greeted

Treat others the way you want to be treated

Forgiveness and compassion are good counterparts

For keeping kindness inside our hearts

Look past the limp, it’s just a disguise

Don’t miss what’s right in front of your eyes

See the person, not the misfortune

What’s inside their heart is much more important

Chorus

Big-hearted people give of themselves

Always looking out for somebody else

They’re understanding, never demanding,

Learning, listening, hardly ever insisting.

Chorus

“My Father’s Eyes” - By Eric Clapton

[Verse 1]
Sailing down behind the sun
Waiting for my prince to come
Praying for the healing rain
To restore my soul again

Just a toerag on the run
How did I get here?
What have I done?
When will all my hopes arise?
How will I know him?
When I look in my father's eyes

[Chorus]
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
(Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes

[Verse 2]
Then the light begins to shine
And I hear those ancient lullabies
And as I watch this seedling grow
Feel my heart start to overflow

Where do I find the words to say?
How do I teach him?
What do we play?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That's when I need them
That's when I need my father's eyes

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Then the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
I'm like a bridge that was washed away
My foundations were made of clay

As my soul slides down to die
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me
I look into my father's eyes

[Chorus] [x3]

Jack’s Jokes

Why do French people eat snails? They don’t like fast food.

Why did the hipster burn his mouth? He drank the coffee before it was cool.

What do cows do on date night? Go to the moo-vies.

Did you hear about the two people who stole a calendar? They each got six months.

“Hero” - by Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

“Evermore” - From “Beauty and The Beast”

I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear

[Chorus]
Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore

[Verse 2]
I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
She's never out of sight

[Chorus]
Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she fades from view
She will still inspire me
Be a part of everything I do
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And as the long, long nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore

“The Boy Is Mine” - by Brandy and Monica

The boy is mine, the boy is mine
The boy is mine, the boy is mine
The boy is mine

Excuse me can I please talk to you for a minute?
Uh huh sure, you know you look kinda familiar
Yeah you do to, but I just wanted to know do you know somebody named?
You know his name
Oh yeah definitely I know his name
Well I just want to let you that he's mine
Huh no, no he's mine

You need to give it up
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Think it's time we got this straight
Sit and talk face to face
There is no way you could mistake
Him for your man, are you insane?

You see I know that you may be
Just a bit jealous of me
But you're blind if you can't see
That his love is all in me

See I tried to hesitate
I didn't want to say what he told me
He said without me he couldn't make it
Through the day, ain't that a shame?

But maybe you misunderstood
'Cause I can't see how he could
Wanna change something that's so good
All my love was all it took (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (confused, ohh)
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

Must you do the things you do?
You keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it, girl it's true

I think that you should realize
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside

You can say what you wanna say
What we have you can't take
From the truth you can't escape
I can tell the real from the fake

When will you get the picture
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away, it's my time to shine
If you didn't know, the boy is mine, ohh

You need to give it up
Had about enough (enough)
It's not hard to see (to see)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up (ooh)
Had about enough (had about enough)
It's not hard to see (he's mine, he's mine, he's mine, he's mine)
The boy is mine
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry you seem to be confused)
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine

You can't destroy this love I found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel

What makes you think that he wants you
When I'm the one that brought him to
The special place that's in my heart?
He was my love right from the start

You need to give it up (give it on up)
Had about enough
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (the boy is mine, oh)
I'm sorry that you (I'm so sorry that you)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (no, no)

You need to give it up (you need to give it up)
Had about enough ('bout enough)
It's not hard to see
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)
I'm sorry that you (mine, ohh)
Seem to be confused (seem to be confused)
He belongs to me (he belongs to me)
The boy is mine (the boy is mine)

You need to give it up (not yours, but mine)
Had about enough (not yours, but mine)
It's not hard to see (not yours, but mine)
The boy is mine

I'm sorry that you
Seem to be confused
He belongs to me
The boy is mine

“Have You Ever” - by Brandy

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry?
Have you ever needed somethin' so bad
You can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever?

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand?
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away?
You'd give anything up to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart?
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life?
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to?
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there?
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry? (Make you wanna break down and cry)
Have you ever needed something so bad (so, so bad)
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever, ever, ever?

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby?
What do I gotta say to get to your heart?
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cause, baby, I can't sleep

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry?
Have you ever needed somethin' so bad
You can't sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right?

Have you ever?
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry?
Have you ever needed somethin' so bad
You can't sleep (you can't sleep at, just can't sleep at night)
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right? (Don't come out right)
Have you ever? (Have you ever?)
Have you ever, ever, ever?

Ooh, have you ever?

“Here Comes The Sun” - The Beatles

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

Little darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

Little darlin', the smile's returning to their faces
Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darlin', I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darlin', it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo
Here comes the sun
It's alright

It's alright
