Happiness Is A Warm Gun Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
She's not a girl, who misses much Do roo roo roo roo, oh yeah She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the Nation Trust
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix cause I'm going down Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun
Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun - ahaa When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know nobody can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm Happiness is a warm gun - Yes it is Happiness is a warm - Yes it is - gun Happiness is a warm gun...
Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe Composer(s): Harold Arlen; E.Y. "Yip" Harburg Performer(s): Ethel Waters; and various other artists
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanta grow He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh When they know little Joe's passing by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare Then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere Troubles fly away and life is easy go Does he love me good, that's all I need to know

A Cockeyed Optimist
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin
and multiple other artists
Nellie: When the skies are brighter canary yellow I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen So they called me a cockeyed optimist Immature and incurably green
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow That we're done and we might as well be dead But I'm only a cockeyed optimist And I can't get it into my head
I hear the human race Is fallin' on its face And hasn't very far to go But ev'ry whippoorwill Is sellin' me a bill And tellin' me it just ain't so
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello And appear more intelligent and smart But I'm stuck like a dope With a thing called hope And I can't get it out of my heart! Not this heart...
Happiness Composer(s): Allen Toussaint Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters
I love the way you love to live You got life, you're inspiration I love the way that you do Your heart's so freely You're a sweet sensation You're my invitation to happiness You're full of sweet surprises, happiness You fill my heart desire More, more, more and more And over and over again Keep that goodness coming
I love the way you watch the world Through kind eyes That's why you're never sad, sad Things don't bother you Like dos, don'ts and whys You hold on to the good And you let the bad go by
Yeah, yeah Happiness I want your love forever Happiness Give me your love forever More, more, more and more And over and over again Keep that goodness coming
Happiness Give me your love forever Happiness Say you'll leave me never More, more, more and more And over and over again Keep that goodness coming Keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it coming, coming Keep it coming, keep it coming Keep it, keep it coming
For A Thousand Years Composer(s): Sao Fajon - Primo Peterca First performance by: Darja vajger - 1999
Teardrops in my eyes, a dance of glistening rain Falling from the sky, a carpet of the stars Clouds of tenderness are fleeing in the light Now it's here, the light for a thousand years
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine I know the light is always here We kiss each other in its shine
I tremble in your eyes, I tremble in your palms Lie inside you deep, in dreams of yours I sleep Caress you with my eyes and love you with my hands Yes, I feel the light for a thousand years
I know you are my love A touch, a kiss, your heart is mine I know the light is always here We kiss each other in its shine
South Of The Border ((aka South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)) Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy - Michael Carr First recording - Billy Cotton - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
South of the border - down Mexico way That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face 'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "mañana" Never dreaming that we were parting Then I lied as a whispered "mañana" 'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay South of the border - Mexico way
Happiness is finding a pencil Sleeping in moon light Telling the time Happiness is learning to whistle Tying your shoe For the very first time Happiness is playing the drum In your own school band And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream Knowing a secret Climbing a tree Happiness is five different crayons Catching a firefly Setting him free And happiness is being alone every now and then And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone and anything at all That's loved by you
Happiness is having a sister Sharing a sandwich Getting along Happiness is singing together When day is through And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening Daytime and nighttime too For happiness is anyone and anything at all That's loved by you
Say It Again Composer(s): Paul Varney First performance by: Precious - 1999
Say it again...
I know I heard you right I've been a-lyin' awake at night Thinkin' about three words you said to me...
I know it's hard for you Sometimes you gotta let the feeling through I wanna know exactly how you feel Ooh yeah
I've tried to be patient And give you a little more time Now I need to be sure What's on your mind
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it) say it again
I knew right from the start You were livin' with a broken heart But baby, I knew, could take some time to heal...
But now I must confess The way you're fillin' me with happiness Think that we could be startin' somethin' real Ooh yeah...
I've tried to be patient And give you a little more time Now I need to be sure What's on your mind
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it) say it again
And I just need to be sure That you're mine forever All I'm asking you for Is to tell me whether I should be trustin' in you Tell me if the words you whispered were true Whoh
(Say it, say it, say it, say it...)
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it)
Say it again (say it) Say the words I heard you whisper Say it again (say it) When last night we were together Lyin' next to me, you said to me (Say it) say it again
Happiness Composer(s): Bill Anderson Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
To me this old world is a wonderful place And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race I've got no silver and I've got no gold Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
Happiness to me is an ocean tide Or a sunset fading on a mountain side Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above When I'm in the arms of the one I love
Happiness is a field of grain Lifting its face to the falling rain I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain Happiness everywhere
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
A wise old man told me one time That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind I hope when you go to measuring my success That you don't count my money count my happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness
Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses I thank the Lord I've been blessed With more than my share of happiness

No Quiero Escuchar First performance by: Lydia - 1999
Hace tiempo que ocultas la verdad Te traiciona tu tenue ingenuidad al hablar ¿A quién tratas de engañar?
Vi dos sombras saliendo de un portal Seguí los pasos cómplice de la oscuridad Dura realidad, oh yeah Sentí morir al verla abrazándote
No, no quiero escuchar Tu voz susurrar que me has querido Sé cual es la verdad Qui se confiar y me has mentido
Ahora dices que fue una confusión Sólo celos, fruto de me imaginación Partiste mi vida en dos Oh yeah, sentí morir al verla abrazándote
No, no quiero escuchar Tu voz susurrar que me has querido Sé cual es la verdad Qui se confiar y me has mentido
(No), no (No quiero escuchar), no quiero escuchar (Tu voz susurrar), susurrar (Que me has querido) Sé cual es la verdad Qui se confiar y me has mentido
