When you look to the past for life’s long hidden meaning
For the dreams and the plans made in your youth
Does the thrill to achieve match the warm hidden feeling
That lies so still and lives in you

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

You’ve found the place to walk the path you’ve chosen
You’ll never miss the world you’ve left behind
When life gives life, it’s happiness unbroken
When you give love, it’s love you’ll find

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child

Lyrics: Felice Mancini
Recorded by: The Carpenters

Sometimes,
not often enough,
we reflect upon the good things
and those thoughts always center
around those we love

And I think about those people
who mean so much to me
and for so many years
have made me so very happy

And I count the times
I have forgotten
to say, “Thank you,”
and just how much
I love them

Maybe I don’t wanna know the reason why
But lately you don’t talk to me
Darling I can’t see me in your eyes
I hold you near but you’re so far away
And it’s losing you I can’t believe
To watch you leave and let this feeling die
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I’m here without your love
You know I can’t survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all

Don’t throw it all away, our love, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love

[ break ]

We can take the darkness and make it full of light
But let your love flow back to me
How can you leave and let this feeling die
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone
And I won’t even have your shoulder for the crying on
No other woman’s love could be as true, I’m begging you

Don’t throw it all away, our love, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love

We changed the world, we made it ours to hold
But dreams are made for those who really try
This losing you is real
But I still feel you here inside

Don’t throw it all away, our love, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love, our love
Don’t throw it all away, our love

For so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more than strong, girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more than you’re asking for
Your love will turn the key
Darling mine
I would wait forever for those lips of wine
Build my world around you, darling
This love will shine girl
Watch it and see
If you give a little more than youre asking for
Your love will turn the key

I, I just want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
Oh, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I’d do anything to be your everything

Darling for so long
You and me been finding each other for so long
And the feeling that I feel for you is more than strong girl
Take it from me
If you give a little more then you’re asking for
Your love will turn the key

I, I just want to be your everything
Open up the heaven in your heart and let me be
The things you are to me and not some puppet on a string
Oh, if I stay here without you, darling, I will die
I want you laying in the love I have to bring
I’d do anything to be your everything

Repeat last verse and fade out

by Nelson del Castillo
From the album, “Beyond Heaven”

If you see that love shine through
Don’t be afraid to show me that you care
And I will take all the doubts in you
And show you what to do
And find a way to make you feel
That I am here ready to show you the way

Refrain:
So, if you say goodbye to me
Always remember this….
that woman you really mean more to me
And if someone else would come
I (hope/wish) it would be someone who will love you more
And will take care of you
Much more than I can do

Bridge:
Dreams are there for us
Dreams are sometimes end
Don’t ever think that I am just a dream

(Repeat refrain)
(Repeat bridge)
(Repeat refrain to fade)

Composed by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell
Performed by The Hollies (1969)

The road is long
With many a winding turns
That leads us to who knows where,
Who knows where.
But I’m strong,
Strong enough to carry him.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

So on we go.
His welfare is of my concern.
No burden is he to bear,
We’ll get there.
For I know
We would not encumber me.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

If I’m laden at all,
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.

It’s a long, long road
From which there is no return.
While we’re on the way to there,
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn’t weigh me down at all.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother.

He’s my brother.
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother…

Music & original French lyrics by: Charles Asnavour
English lyrics by: Herbert Kretzmer
Recorded by: Roy Clark (1965)

Yesterday when I was young
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
and only now I see how the years ran away.

Yesterday when I was young
so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung,
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
and every conversation I can now recall
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.

Yesterday the moon was blue
and every crazy day brought something new to do.
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died.
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
and only I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won’t be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young.

On YouTube: Shirley Bassey’s version of Yesterday When I Was Young

Recorded by: Eric Clapton

It’s late in the evening,
she’s wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me,
“Do I look all right?”
And I say,
“Yes, you look wonderful tonight”

We go a party
and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
that’s walking around with me
And then she asks me,
“Do you feel all right?”
And I say,
“Yes, I feel wonderful tonight”

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don’t realize
How much I love you

It’s time to go home now
and I’ve got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
and she helps me to bed
And then I tell her,
as I turn out the light
I say,
“My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight”

Recorded by Whitney Houston

I know it’s been some time
But there’s something on my mind
You see, I haven’t been the same
Since that cold November day…
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately…

So here I am
And can you please tell me… oh

Chorus:
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that’s waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won’t they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me

I’ve been around enough to know
That dreams don’t turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can’t run away…
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You’re always on my mind

Repeat chorus

And now that I am here with you
I’ll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know…

Repeat chorus

Recorded by: Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole

Unforgettable that’s what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why darling it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

No never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why darling it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
