OF THE WORLD Such a feeling coming over me Chorus I'm on the Something in the wind has
learned my name Chorus |
AMAZING
GRACE Amazing grace! How sweet the sound? I once was lost, but now am
found It was grace that taught my
heart to fear Through many dangers, toils and
shares When we've been there ten
thousand years |
YESTERDAY
ONCE MORE When I was young, I listen to the radio But they're back again Chorus Looking back oh how it was in
years gone by Chorus |
THOSE
WERE THE DAYS Once upon a time, there was a tavern Chorus Chorus Just tonight I stood before the
tavern Chorus Through the doors |
I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
Let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away
IT'S
A SMALL WORLD It's a world of laughter and a world of
tears Chorus There's just one moon and a
golden sun Chorus |
A ray of hope, flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new moon
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, toss and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You've got to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream an illusion now
It must come true sometime soon
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
Down by the river that flows by the coal
yard
Stand wooden houses with shutters drawn down
There lives a girl everybody call Patches
Patches my darling of old shanty town
We plan to marry when June brought the
summer
I couldn't want to make Patches my bride
Now I don't see how that ever can happen
My folks say no and my heart breaks inside
Chorus
Patches, Oh what can I do?
I'll swear I'll always love you
But a girl from that place
Would just bring me disgrace
So my folks won't let me love you
All night I cry as I think of the Shanty
And pretty Patches there watching the door
She doesn't know that
I can't come to meet her
Patches must think I love her no more
I heard a neighbour telling my father
He said a girl name of Patches was found
Floating face downwards
In that dirty old river
Down by the boat yard in old Shanty Town
Chorus
Patches, Oh what can I do?
I'll swear I'll always love you
It may not be right
But I'll join you tonight
Patches I'll join you tonight
RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are
Too big for his shoes
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops keep falling
So I just did some talking to the sun
I said I didn't like the way
He got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops keep falling
Oh my head they keep falling
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness
Stops up to greet me
Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cos I'm never gonna stop the
Rain by complaining
Because I'm free, nothing's worrying me
Sing your way home at the close of the
day
Sing your way home drive the shadows away
Smile every mile for wherever you from
It will brighten your road
It will lighten your load
If you sing your way home
