Angels Among Us Composer(s): Becky Hobbs - Don Goodman Performer(s): Alabama and multiple other artists
I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way It was getting late and I was scared and alone Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
Oh I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live To teach us how to give To guide us with a light of love
When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand A phone call from a friend just to say I understand Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
Oh I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live To teach us how to give To guide us with a light of love
They wear so many faces Show up in the strangest places Grace us with thier mercy In our time of need
Oh I believe there are angels among us Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours To show us how to live To teach us how to give To guide us with a light of love

Here comes the daylight It's makin' me sad Here comes the sunlight Makin' me sad Had a good time last night Best I ever had Here come the sunshine That's makin' me sad So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad

Here come the daylight It's bringin' me down Causin' me heartache It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daybreak It's bringin' me pain It's causin' me heartache I wish it would rain Had a good time last night Just me and my friends But here come the daylight And now it's the end Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
Here come the daylight It's bringin' me down It's causin' me heartache It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daybreak It's makin' me cough It's causin' me sunburn It's pissin' me off Had a good time last night In the moon's glimpse Now all that'll save me Is a total eclipse Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...
Like The Way I Do Composer(s): Melissa Etheridge Performer(s): Melissa Etheridge; Melody; Gerd Rube
Is it so hard to satisfy your senses You found out to love me you have to climb some fences Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you And just when it feels right you say you found someone else to hold you Does she like i do
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you She knows just how to shock you electrify and rock you Does she inject you seduce you and affect you Like the way I do
Can I survive all the implications Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction Don't you think I know there's so many others Who would beg steal and lie fight kill and die Just to hold you hold you like I do
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you seduce you and affect you Like the way I do
Nobody loves you like the way I do Nobody wants you like the way I do Nobody needs you like the way I do Nobody aches nobody aches just to hold you Like the way I do
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you seduce you and affect you Like the way I do
Daybreak Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Ferde Grofé Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and various other artists
Daybreak, another new day The mist on the meadow is drifting away For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now And flowers break through their blanket of dew Sunrise, how lovely it seems To see from my window, a sky full of dreams As the white clouds sail on through the blue At daybreak I daydream of you
Long ago, high on a mountain in Mexico Lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo Who met a young girl and he loved her so Rich was she, came from a very high family Angelo knew it could never be They ran away to their destiny
Running away together, running away forever Angelo Running away from danger, hiding from every stranger Angelo They knew it wasn't wrong They found a love so strong They took their lives that night And in the morning light They found them on the sand They saw them lying there, hand in hand

Daybreak Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Adrienne Anderson Performer(s): Barry Manilow
I'm singin' to the world, it's time we let the spirit come in Let it come on in I'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spin Look at where we've been We've been runnin' around, year after year Blinded with pride, blinded with fear
But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world
Singin' to the world, what's the point in puttin' it down? There's so much love to share I'm singin' to the world, don't you see it all comes around? The feeling's everywhere We've been closin' our eyes, day after day Covered in clouds, losin' our way
Hey, but it's daybreak If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak Ain't no time to grieve Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world
Yes, and it's daybreak If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak Ain't no time to grieve Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world Let it shine, shine, shine All around the world
Yes, and it's daybreak If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak Ain't no time to grieve Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe And let it shine, shine, shine All around the world C'mon and let it shine, shine, shine All around the world

Day Or Night Composer(s): Bill Payne; Fran Tate Performer(s): Little Feat
You can say what you want People runnin', talkin', it's all going on up and down the street Young girls selling their wares, no cares Ah, history's left its mark, aha Old folks that were able Now can table it at their own expense They wouldn't miss it, they don't care if it's day or night
Oh the city she makes Sometimes your soul to feel floating just like a leaf in the wind Street is stream so it carries you past your present schemes 'til there is no end Left right in the alley No one catches you but the gentle wind
There ain't no Jane, no Jill, no Sally to see you through There ain't no Jane, no Jill, no Sally to see you through
So you do what you want And pretend again that it's time to roam 'cause you can't go home Maybe you'll find your way today But while you're at it you'll have some fun And through tears of laughter You know it's nothing until you find someone You wouldn't miss it You don't care if it's day or night
Day Of The Eagle
Composer(s): Robin Trower
First release by: Robin Trower - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
I saw a light, just up ahead But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed I'm not alone, than I am People seem to think I'm superman But I watch for the love I'm living in the day of the eagle, the eagle not the, dove
Its like a weight, that brings me down If I don't move, I'm on the ground Its in my mind, Its in my soul Its telling me the things I can't be told Its a watch for the love Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove
Another day, another night I want to love, they want to fight I need the time, I got to be alone I got to meet a lover on my own I watch for the love Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove
Les Anges Noirs ((Spanish Version: Angelitos Negros (by Celia Cruz)) Composer(s): Andres Eloy Blanco - Manuel Alvarez Maciste - Jacques Larue - Michael Jourdan Performer(s): Dalida
Oh peintre qui peint les anges Sur les vitraux des églises Il est une chose étrange Permets que je te le dise Pourquoi peins-tu leurs visages Avec toujours la peau blanche L'enfant noir cherche une image Qui serait un peu la sienne
Pourquoi, l'enfant ne voit-il pas Un seul, rien qu'un seul ange noir Qui pourrait lui permettre De mieux prier le soir
Même si la vierge est pâle Dessine un ange très sombre Au ciel de la cathédrale Que les couleurs se confondent
Crois-moi, bien qu'il soit d'autres cieux Les hommes, qui ferment un soir les yeux Pour le dernier voyage Ont tous le même Dieu
Day Of Silence Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): Pete Townshend
When you're feeling low Try a day of silence Take things very slow Listen to the wireless Never speak a sound Sit up on the hedgerow Watch the world go round Peace will let your mind go
When you've had a row Sit alone say nothing It's really funny how You quickly see that something Wonderful and warm Lies between each second In every side and out Eternity will beckon
You and me We are part of a single soul And one day we will know we're one Sit and listen the word will come There is nothing beneath the sun That we can't realize And one peaceful night Will remind us that it's alright And we'll figure we owe it all To one life of silence
Whispers will emerge Proud against the thunder The wind hiss precious words Erase our problems rumble Watch a speckled fawn Hear it crash like seaspray Someone sees it all We will meet him someday
When you're feeling low Try a day of silence Take things very slow Maybe listen to the wireless
What Am I Gonna Do (I'm So in Love With You) Composer(s): Tony Brock - Jay Davis - Rod Stewart Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Can I tell you what you mean to me You're essential as the air I breathe Almost impossible to believe that you're mine You're like weekends all year long under a hot Jamaican sun You are a winner at a hundred to one yes you are
Something you've got is something I need right now You don't have to prove it no more I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away
One in a million oh so rare a nightingale in Barkley Square and baby I ain't goin' nowhere without you You are the goal that wins the game the very last bus home in the rain You're like rock and roll and champagne all in one
Something you've got is something I need right now Let's not mess around any more I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'll be a sleek one of a kind and so difficult to define I could drink a case of you any time
The Sistine Chapel and the Eiffel Tower a national anthem an April shower tomorrow's fashion and now I've found you I'm complete
Something you've got is something I need right now You don't have to prove it no more I'm down on my bended knees honey
What am I gonna do I'm so in love with you What am I gonna say if ever you go away
I'm like a schoolboy in your hands I wanna get up and sing and dance You see one hell of a happy man standing here
Individually quite unique You really swept me off my feet and baby you look oh so neat with nothing on
Day Is Done French Title: Mon Enfant Composer(s): Peter Yarrow Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary
Tell me why you're crying, my son I know you're frightened, like everyone Is it the thunder in the distance you fear? Will it help if I stay very near? I am here
(Refrain) And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done And if you take my hand my son All will be well when the day is done Day is done, day is done, day is done, day is done
Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son? You shall inherit what mankind has done In a world filled with sorrow and woe If you ask me why this is so, I really don't know
(Refrain)
Tell me why you're smiling my son Is there a secret you can tell everyone? Do you know more than men that are wise? Can you see what we all must disguise through your loving eyes?
Don't Look Any Further Composer(s): Franne Golde - Duane Hitchings - Dennis Lambert Performer(s): Dennis Edwards & Siedah Garrett
Someone to count on in a world ever changing here I am, stop where you standing what you need is a lover, someone to take over oh girl don't look any further

Day In, Day Out Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Rube Bloom Performer(s): Bob Crosby and various other artists
Day in, day out The same old hoodoo follows me about The same old pounding in my heart whenever I think of you And, darling, I think of you Day in and day out
Day out, day in I needn't tell you how my days begin When I awake, I awaken with a tingle One possibility in view That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain, come shine I meet you and to me the day is fine Then I kiss your lips And the pounding becomes The ocean's roar A thousand drums Can't you see it's love Can there be any doubt When there it is Day in, day out
