Show me a river that’s so deep
Show me a mountain so high
I’ll show you love that’ll last forever
Flying high, so high

Ah, show me a place where dreams are for dreamers
And all the things you wish come true, yeah
I’d wish the world had all happy people
Then there’d be no more wishing to do

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Sweet)
Sweet love (Sweet love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Well, well)
Sweet love (Sweet, sweet love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh

And everyone a heart of gold

Sweet love (Sweet, sweet love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I know you’re searchin’
I know you’re searchin’ for a little love
A little peace and understandin’
And I know it’s been hard tryin’ to find your way
But you got to keep on searchin’ harder day by day
‘Cause it’s love, love’s the only way

(Oh, nothin’ but love)
Oh!oh! (Love)
Sweet love (Sweet love, ow)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (When you’re down and out and you can’t see your way)
Sweet love (And you need a friend, well-ell-ell)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Just call on love, love)
Sweet love (Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love)

You Were Meant For Me
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Gene Kelly;
and various other artists



Life was a song
You came along
I’ve laid awake the whole night through
If I ever dared
To think you cared
This is what I’d say to you

You were meant for me
And I was meant for you
Nature fashioned you
And when she was done
You were all those good things
Rolled into one

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me be
I'm content the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me

But I’m content 
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me

Would you like to take this magic potion with me?
On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond
She understands, shes been before
It's in her hands to find the door

Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I will swim in the sea
Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

There is no time, no wealth
Only I surround you
The fortune of this guide
Is deep sincerity
She understands
'Cos she's been there before
It's in her hands
To find the door, so 

Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I will swim in the sea
Sweet Lorraine

No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go

You and me it seems
Never have a problem we can't overcome

With your hand in mine, making love for days

Sweet Lorraine
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Cliff Burwell
First release by: Jimmie Noone & His Apex Club Orch. - 1928



(I) just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo toy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine

A pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer skies
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine

Now when it's rainin'
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine

Now when it's rainin'
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho

Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine

You Were Made For Me
Composer(s): Sam Cooke
Performer(s): Sam Cooke;
Luther Ingram; Catherine Russell; 
Rocky Sharpe; Gene Stewart



A fish was made to swim in the ocean
A boat was made to sail on the sea
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

You were made for me
A grape was made for a vine
An apple was made to grow on a tree
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

We'll have our quarrels and you'll upset me
But what can I do
Oh you've been mine ever since I met you 
And I'll never, never, never, never, never leave you

As sure as there's a heaven above me
From you I know I'll never be free
As sure as there is a God above
Darling, I know you were made for me

Sweet Little Buttercup
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan - Herman Paley



Will you miss me little Buttercup 
Said a rustic lad one day 
I must go away 
And I must obey 
Come and kiss me lift your two lips up 
There now dearie don't you cry
Hear the bugles calling 
It is time to say "Good Bye"

Stop your crying little Buttercup 
Sang a little bird one night 
Stars are shining bright 
On his mantle white
Don't be sighing lift your spirit up 
Soon he will be on his way 
Hear the breezes sighing 
Don't you hear them softly say

Sweet little Butter cup 
Shy little Buttercup 
Dry your eyes of blue 
I'll come back to you 
When the war is through 
Safe in your sylvan dell 
Far from the shot and shell 
Let your lovelight shine 
Angels guide you watch beside you 
Sweet little Buttercup mine

Sweet little Butter cup 
Shy little Buttercup 
Dry your eyes of blue 
I'll come back to you 
When the war is through 
Safe in your sylvan dell 
Far from the shot and shell 
Let your lovelight shine 
Stars above you watch and love you 
Sweet little Buttercup mine

You Were Made For Me

Performer(s): Freddie & The Dreamers;
Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers



You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

All the trees were made for little things that sing and fly
And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky-ee-y-ee-y
Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see
When I hold you in my arms I know that you were made for me

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

All the flowers in the field were made to please the bees
For the fishes swim to make the rivers run to the sea-ee-ee-ee-eas
Every hand was made to to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for me

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

Da da daaa da da da da da daaa da daaa da daaaa
Da da daaa da da da da da daaa da daa de-da-de-da-de-da

You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Tell me then that you don't know

Every hand was made to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that
You were made
You were made
You were made for me

Sweet Leilani
Composer(s): Harry Owens 
Performer(s): Bing Crosby



Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew
And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
I dreamed of paradise for two
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Tropic skies are jealous as they shine
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes
Jealous because you're mine

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two
You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

You are my paradise completed
You are my dream come true

You Were Great, How Was I?
Composer(s): John Farrar; Tom Snow
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John



I'll never learn
I cling to the past
I find so much there to lean on
But when I get lucky
I can even forget
Our now and forevers are gone

I know what you mean
I go there myself
When I feel the mood coming on
It comes on so easy
It's hard to believe
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

I'm doing my best with somebody else
It's good to feel counted upon
It keeps me from sliding to where I forget
Our now and forevers are gone

When did we lose our starry eyes
The feeling's too strong to compromise
Something went wrong between hello and goodbye
Now it's too late
Love you were great, how was I?

Alright Now!!
Won't you listen?

When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your suprize
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind
Oh yeah!

I love you, Oh you know it 

My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear 
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Oh yeah!

Come on now, try it out

Straight people don't know, what your about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf 
Oh yeah baby!

You Wear It Well
Composer(s): Martin Quittenton; Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



I had nothing to do
on this hot afternoon
but to settle down
and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you
but from Minnesota
hell it's been a very long time
you wear it well
a little old fashioned
but that's all right

Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
there ain't a lady in the land so fine

Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate
the all day rock and roll shows
Them homesick blues and radical view
haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well
a little out of time, but I don't mind

But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
tryin' to get a letter through
(tryin' to get back to you)

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
when you sat down and cried on the stairs
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You make me fell a millionaire and you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you

And when my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
that I gotta get back to work
so when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
think of me and try not to laugh and I'll wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

Sweet Kentucky Rose
You're always in his heart
He dreams about you every day

Sweet Kentucky Rose
He's sorry you're apart
He never should have gone away

He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose

He dreams about you every day

He never should have gone away

He'll be coming back
To hold you once again
And settle where the bluegrass grows

He'll build a little home
Then he will never roam
From his sweet Kentucky Rose

Anyone who ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane

Waiting for Jimmy down by the alley
Waiting there for him to came home
Waiting down there on the corner
Thinking ways to get back home

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane

Anyone who's ever had a dream
Anyone who's ever played a part
Anyone who's gonna live lonely
Anyone who's ever stood apart

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane

Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to me, when you smile

nananana...

Sweet Jane, sweet Jane, oh, sweet, sweet Jane

Margie Morris; Nat Osborne; George McConnell
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



I know that you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted someone to love
And you made me feel that your love was real
The love that I always dreamed of

And then you laughed when I cried for your kisses
To me they meant heaven above
Oh, oh, oh you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted someone to love

(Oh, you wanted someone to play)
(While I wanted someone to love)
And you made me feel that your love was real
The love that I always dreamed of

And then you laughed when I cried for your kisses
To me they meant heaven above
Oh, oh, oh you wanted someone to play with
While I wanted, while I wanted someone to love

Colorado Christmas
Composer(s): Steve Goodman
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Steve Goodman; Petty Booka



Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel
You'd never know that it was Christmas Eve
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees

I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
But there's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limosine

But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow

I remember Christmases when I was just a boy
In the morning I would run to see the tree
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas joy
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me

Now the sun is setting in the California sky
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
So I think it's time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
I'm going back home to look for Christmas there

But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
