Thank The Nurse Performer(s): Country Joe McDonald
Doctors and Physicians diagnose and prescribe Surgeons can operate but they don't save your life For when the fever's burning, who helps you through the night Gives you medication and checks your vital signs? When you wake up in recovery who's right there by your side? With a smile and reassurance, restoring your self-pride.
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you The one that nursed you through Thank the Nurse that's nursing you For saving your life... for saving your life... For Saving Your Life!
Oh, the Doctor is important of that we can't deny But when you get down to it, the Nurse keeps you alive The one who cleans your body and bandages your wounds The one who makes your bed, gives you medicine and food Helps you through contractions, until the pain subsides Encourage you to make it 'till you hear your baby cry!
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you The one that nursed you through Thank the Nurse that's nursing you For saving your life... for saving your life... For Saving Your Life!
When you're sick and convalescing you're seldom in the mood To pay attention to the one attending you So full of rack and worry you think you'll lose your mind You survived the accident but all your friends have died When the orderly is sleeping and physician can't be found No need for apprehension a nurse is making rounds!
Thank the Nurse that's nursing you The one that nursed you through Thank the Nurse that's nursing you For saving your life... for saving your life... For Saving Your Life!
Thank The Lord For The Night Time Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Daytime turns me off, and I don't mean maybe Nine-to-five ain't taking me where I'm bound When it's done, I run out to see my baby We get groovin' when the sun goes down
I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation It's a time to groove I thank the Lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you
I'll talk about plans now, baby I got plenty Nothing ever seems turn out the the way it should Talk about money, girl, I ain't got any Seems like just one time I'm feeling' good
I thank the Lord for the night time To forget the day of up, uptight time Baby, chase it away I get relaxation It's a time to groove I thank the lord for the night time I thank the Lord for you
Thank Heaven For Little Girls Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe First performance/First recording by: Maurice Chevalier - 1958/Hank Jones - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
Now for example here we find Exhibit A, the married kind These ladies stood their ground and won And I salute them, every one
Here are some others to behold For whom the bells have never tolled Oh what a poor defenseless pair In those pathetic rags they wear Each time I see a little girl Of five or six or seven I can't resist a joyous urge To smile and say Thank heaven for little girls For little girls get Bigger every day Thank heaven for little girls They grow up in The most delightful way Those little eyes So helpless and appealing When they were flashing Send you crashing Through the ceiling Thank heaven for little girls Thank heaven for them all No matter where No matter who Without them What would little boys do Thank heaven Thank heaven Thank heaven for little girls
Chewin' Mama Blues Composer(s): John Henry Performer(s): Dinah Washington; Lucky Thompson
I'm in love with a man Who's not in love with me Yes, I'm in love with a man Who's not in love with me If I can't get that man I'd just as soon be down deep in the sea
Yes, he's got everything I've wanted And I'm not speaking of his gold He's got everything I ever wanted And I'm not speaking of his gold He's got that certain somethin' That really satisfies my soul
I'm telling you right now Baby I'm gonna get you if I can Yes, I'm telling you right now Baby I'm going to get you if I can How could you want another woman When you know I can't use another man

Thank God I Found You Composer(s): James Harris - Mariah Carey - Terry Lewis Performer(s): Joe Henderson, Mariah Carey, 98 Degrees
(Mariah) I would give up everything Before I'd separate myself from you After so much suffering I've finally found a man that's true I was all by myself for the longest time So cold inside And the hurt from the heart it would not subside I felt like dying Until you saved my life
(All) Thank God I found you I was lost without you My every wish and every dream Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight Completed my whole life I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you
(Joe) I would give you everything There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do To ensure your happiness I'll cherish every part of you Because without you beside me I can't survive I don't wanna try If you're keeping me warm each and every night I'll be all right 'Cause I need you in my life
(All) Thank God I found you (I'm begging you) I was lost without you (so lost without you) My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream) Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight) Completed my whole life I'm overwhelmed with gratitude 'Cause baby I'm so thankful I found you
(Mariah & Joe) See I was so desolate Before you came to me Looking back I guess it shows that we were destined to shine After the rain to appreciate And care for what we have And I'd go through it all over again To be able to feel this way
(All) Thank God I found you I was lost without you (lost without you baby) My every wish and every dream Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight Completed my whole life (whole life) I'm overwhelmed with gratitude Sweet baby I'm so thankful I found you
(All) Thank God I found you I was lost without you I'm overwhelmed with gratitude My baby I'm so thankful I found you
(Mariah) I'm overwhelmed with gratitude My baby I'm so thankful I found you

Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan paljon jää ja pois unohtuu
Kerroitko kaikkea minkä mä näin lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Niin monta kertaa sanoitta jäin polku luokses' nyt sammaltuu
Kerroinko onnesta minkä mä sain lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Niin paljon kannoit mun huolistain Raidat kirkkaat nyt haalistuu
Kertoa kuinka nyt sinulle voin lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Kun lähdit niin kaiken jäätyvän koin Laulu linnun pois vaientuu
Aamunkoittoon et oottanutkaan lilja, ruusu, kirsikkapuu Vain muiston talteen talvelta saan paljon jää ja pois unohtuu

Thank God And Greyhound Composer(s): Larry Kingston - Earl Nix Performer(s): Roy Clark; Ray Pillow
I've made a small fortune, and you've squandered it all You've shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you, and I hoped you would change so I gritted my teeth and didn't complain
Now you've come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving, but you won't tell me why We're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is...
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! I didn't know how much longer I could go on watching you take the respect out of me watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is a playing my song
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiney old bus is a beautiful sight with the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long

Love can make a fool of you You'd do anything it wants you to Love can make you feel so good When it goes like you think it should

You know love makes fools of men But you don't care you're gonna try again Time goes by it's a passing past You think that love has come at last
But by and by you're gonna find Crazy love has made you blind When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
Love can make you feel so good When it goes like you think it should Or it can make you cry at night When you're baby don't treat you right
When you're feeling sad and blue You know love's made a fool of you
Love's Just A Broken Heart Composer(s): Kenny Lynch - Mort Shuman Performer(s): Cilla Black
They told me love was not what I dreamed it would be And one day if I fell in love then I would see But I believed when my love came My dreams would all come true But I'm no better now Now that we're worlds apart Now as the teardrops start Love's just a broken heart
They told me when I found you That it wouldn't last They said you had too many lovers in your past And foolishly I thought that I could mean much more to you But I'm no better now Now that we're worlds apart Now as the teardrops start Love's just a broken heart
You told me I was everything a love should be I was your destiny I was your reason to live And you would give all of life's treasures to me
Now I can hear them laughing as they pass my way They say "I told you so" there's nothing I can say For they were right and I was wrong They said so from the start
I lost the only love I knew when I lost you Yes all too late I realised your words were lies My dream of love is through And I'm no better now Now that we're worlds apart Now as the teardrops start Love's just a broken heart Just one more broken heart

Mmm oooo I know great distance still remains between us But there's good reason to hold on It's the happiest time of the year Filled with laughter and good cheer As you watch the snow Sweet love you'll hear me say
You've got my heart on Christmas Inside my soul your love remains Love's in our hearts on Christmas day The days and weeks and months go by so slowly We are both wishing it would fly oh As the night begins to fall Twilight drowns the bedroom chill Such a rush of joy (rush of joy) And love, it comforts me And I do believe
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
A snowflake melts In your eye it turns to a tear But your cheek, it stays dry With your warm smile so near I have no fear We're gonna make it Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day
Love's in our hearts on Christmas Though far apart As one we pray Love's in our hearts on Christmas day

Love's Been Good To Me Composer(s): Rod McKuen First release by: Rod McKuen - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
I have been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Still in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Denver Before the summer storm Oh, her eyes were tender Oh, her arms were warm And she could smile away the thunder Kiss away the rain Even though she's gone away You won't hear me complain I have been a rover
I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Still in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Portland Before the winter chill We used to go a-courtin' Along October hill And she could laugh away the dark clouds Cry away the snow It seems like only yesterday As down the road I go
I've been a rover I have walked alone Hiked a hundred highways Never found a home Still in all I'm happy The reason is, you see Once in a while, along the way Love's been good to me

I can remember when it's been so much Love's been a little bit hard on me I shy away at the slightest touch Love's been a little bit hard on me
Come out, come out To the hopeless romantic inside Shout it's all right, all right To stay so dark So close to the light
I'll be back when I calm my fears Love's been a little bit hard on me See you around in a thousand years
