Let The Feeling Flow Composer(s): Peabo Bryson Performer(s): Peabo Bryson; Kelli Sae; Matt Jordan
Falling in love, it was easy at the start I thought I had it in my hands Something went wrong, somewhere we lost a part It was more than we could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized That I couldn't see the forest for the trees What was wrong with me There comes a time in every life Love will come your way And if it should stay You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go, not love It's a shining star that's here to guide you Every lover knows You've got to hold on to the good inside you Let the feeling flow And I'm sure love will grow

I'm surprised to see your suitcase at the door Remember the good times don't you want some more It's not a perfect love but I'll defend it 'Cause I believe that's what God intended

Brian's Song Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Michel Legrand Originally performed by: Michel Legrand Covered by various other artists
If the hands of time Were hands that I could hold I'd keep them warm and in my hands They'd not turn cold
Hand in hand we'd choose The moments that should last The lovely moments that should have No future and no past
The summer from the top of a swing The comfort in the sound of a lullaby The innocence of leaves in the spring But most of all the moment when love first touched me
All the happy days Would never learn to fly Until the hands of time would choose To wave "Good-bye"
Hejsan morsan, hejsan stabben! Här e brev från älsklingsgrabben Vi har kul på kolonien vi bor tjugoåtta gangstergrabbar i en stor barack med massa sängar Kan ni skicka mera pengar? För det vore en god gärning jag har spelat bort varenda dugg på tärning
Här e roligt vill jag lova fastän lite svårt att sova Killen som har sängen över mej han vaknar inte han när han behöver, nej!
Jag har tappat två framtänder för jag skulle gå på händer när vi lattjade charader så när morsan nu får se mej får hon spader
Uti skogen finns baciller men min kompis han har piller som han köpt utav en ful typ och om man äter dom blir man en jättekul typ
Föreståndarn han har farit han blir aldrig vad han varit för polisen kom och tog hand om honom förra veckan när vi lekte skogsbrand
Uti skogen finns det rådjur i baracken finns det smådjur och min bäste kompis Tage han har en liten fickkniv inuti sin mage
Honom ska dom operera Ja, nu vet jag inget mera Kram och kyss och hjärtligt tack sen men nu ska vi ut och bränna grannbaracken!

Let Me Sing And I'm Happy Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Jolson and multiple other artists
What care I who makes the laws of a nation Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs What care I who care for the world's affairs As long as I can sing its popular songs
Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts that loved in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues To lift you out of your seat If my song can reach your shoes And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms Cotton fields and mammy's arms And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy, I'm happy
I don't want a seat on any big council A ruler's power is not what I'm seeking for Only let me feel that my songs appeal has reached your hearts I'll not ask for anything more
Let me sing a funny song With crazy words that roll along And if my song can start you laughing I'm happy, so happy
Let me sing a sad refrain Of broken hearts that loved in vain And if my song can start you crying I'm happy
Let me croon a low down blues To lift you out of your seat If my song can reach your shoes And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms Cotton fields and mammy's arms And if my song can make you homesick I'm happy, I'm happy
Breezin' Along With The Breeze Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; Seymour Simons; Richard Whiting Originally performed by: Josephine Baker
I have been a rover since I was a child No one to love or care for me Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild My home's wherever I may be Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be I'm gone, but no one's missin' me Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me I'm like a bird that's flyin' free
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas
Like the birdies that sing in the trees Pleasin' to live, livin' to please
The sky is the only roof I have over my head And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes my bed
I'm just goin' along as I please Breezin' along with the breeze
