1.Cheek to Cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to go out fishing
in an ocean or a creek
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it wouldn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek
Won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, won't you come and dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
The cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
Oh, when we're out together
out together
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek
2.Stormy Monday
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday is worse and Thursday's also sad
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday; Saturday I go out to play
Sunday I go to church, hmm ,
That's when I get down on my knees and pray
I said Lord have mercy,
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
Oh yeah
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy on me,
Don't you know I'm just trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send him on home to me
3.Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out,
When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silvergirl
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
4.Fine and Mellow
My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
My man don't love me
He treats me so mean
Well he's the, lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
Well he wears high trimmed pan
Stripes are really yellow
But when he starts to love me
He's so fine and mellow
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you gamble
And stay out all night long
Love will make you do things
You always thought was wrong
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away
But if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
Said if you treat me right baby
I'll stay home everyday
But you're so darned mean
I just know you're gonna drive me away
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It turned off and gone
5.People Get Ready
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved and lost
Now there ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who hard on mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the Kingdom's Throne
Ohh people get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear diesels a- humming
You don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
Yeah yeah yeah
I'm getting ready
I - I'm ready yeah yeah yeah
Oh I'm getting ready oh - oh
I'm ready yeah
6.Blue Skies
Blue skies Smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies Do I see
Blue birds Singing a song
Nothing but blue skies From now on.
I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you're in love, everything's right
Watching all the days Hurrying by
When you're in love, My how they fly
Those blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blu skies from now on.
Blue skies Smiling on me
Nothing but blue skies Do I see
Blue birds Singing a song
Nothing but blue skies From now on.
I never saw the sun shining so bright
When you're in love, everything's right
Watching all the days Hurrying by
When you're in love, My how they fly
Those blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies, Nothing but blue skies
Nothing but blue skies, from now on.
7.Tall Trees in Georgia
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
The sweetest love I ever had
I left aside
Because I did not want
To be any man's bride
But now I'm older
And married I would be
I found my sweetheart
But he would not marry me
When I was younger
The boys all came around
But now I'm older
And they've all settled down
Control your mind my girl
And give your heart to one
For if you love all men
You'll be surely left with none
Tall trees in Georgia,
They grow so high
They shade me so
And sadly walking
Through the thicket I go
8.Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
9.Autumn Leaves
Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Joseph Kosma
The autumn leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
(Instrumental for 1 minute)
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
10.Honeysuckle Rose
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I don't blame them goodness knows
My honeysuckle rose
Flowers droop and sigh when your'e passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose
I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's so sweet when you stir it up
On the avenue people look at you
And I know just why they do
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose
Every honey bee fills with jealousy
When they see you out with me
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose
Flowers droop and sigh when your'e passing by
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose
And I don't buy sugar
You just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar
It's so sweet when you stir it up
You're much sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose
11.Take Me to the River
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Stole my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet
I wanna know boy, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus:
Won't you take me to the river
Wash me down
Take me to the river
Put my feet back on the ground
I don't know why you treat me so bad
After all the good times that we've had
You're sixteen candles that burn on my wall
Now who's the biggest fool of us all
I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus
Hold me squeeze me love me
And you can tease me
Till I can't take it no more
Oh yeah yeah yeah
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you put me through
Love is a notion I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret
I wanna know, won't you tell me
Tell me how can I stay here with you
Chorus x2
12.What a Wonderful World
I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, 'how do you do?'
But they're really saying, 'I love you'
I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, 'how do you do?'
But they're really saying, 'I love you
I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world
I think to myself, ooh what a wonderful world
13.Oh, Had I a Golden Thread
Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I'd weave a magic strand
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design
In it I'd weave the bravery
Of women giving birth
In it I'd weave the innocence
Of the children over all the earth
Children of all the earth
Far over the water,
I'd stretch my magic band
To every city,
To every single land
To every land
Show my brothers and my sisters
My rainbow design
Bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Hand and heart and mind
Oh, had I a golden thread
And a needle so fine
I'd weave a magic strand
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design
