Thank You For Being A Friend
Composer(s): Andrew Gold
First release by: Andrew Gold - 1978



Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say 
I hope it always will stay this way 
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party 
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say 

Thank you for being a friend

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say 
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray 
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away 
Into the night
The milky way 
You'll hear me call
As we ascend 
I'll say your name
Then once again 

Thank you for being a friend

Thank You Darling

Thank you Darling
Thank you Baby
Für die schönen Tage
Auch wenn es heute vorbei ist
Auch wenn Du mir nicht mehr treu bist
Auch wenn es nur Liebelei war
War es wunderbar
(war es wunderbar)

Thank you Darling
Thank you Baby
Für die schönen Tage
Wir waren beide gemeinsam
Wir waren beide nicht einsam
Weil alles andere als Illusion ist
Dank ich dir dafür
(dank ich dir dafür)

Morgen da ist es so weit (so weit)
Und darum sag ich dir heut
Thank you Darling
Thank you Baby
Für die schönen Tage
Es wird nie mehr im Leben
Das andere Glück für mich geben
Das ich dir so sehr dafür danken
Thank you and goodbye
Thank you and goodbye

Morgen da ist es so weit (so weit)

Thank you and goodnight
Thank you and goodnight

Thank you for showing
Me a wonderful time
Gee, everything just
Turned out so fine

So thank you and goodnight
Thank you and goodnight
Thank you and goodnight

Funny, the hours seemed
To go by so fast
I hope that this time
Won't be the last
I want to see you again
(See you again)

I never felt this way before
After a very first date
I never knew what
One kiss could do
Gee, but the feeling is great

Baby, it's getting late
And I've gotta go
Here's something that
You ought to know
I've had the time of my life
(Time of my life)

Thank you and good night
Thank you and goodnight
Thank you and goodnight...

Thank you, baby
I had a wonderful time

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die, my, my, my
Inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration, look see

And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
But thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one, ah, ah yeah
Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness, I'm glad

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
Mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me 

Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
Composer(s): Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart
Performer(s): Sly & The Family Stone



Lookin' at the devil, grinnin' at his gun
Fingers start shakin', I begin to run

Bullets start chasin', I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle I was on the top

Want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I wanna thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Stiff all in the collar, fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin', I begin to run

Want to thank you for the party, I could never stay
Many thangs is on my mind, words in the way

Want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Dance to the music
All nite long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song

Mama's so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa still singin'
You can make it if you try

I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

Flamin' eyes of people fear, burnin' into you
Many men are missin' much, hatin' what they do

Youth and truth are makin' love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin' young is hard to take
Sellin' out is harder

I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

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 It's Friday

Friday, thank God it's Friday, Friday
Thank God it's Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday

Hey put a smile on your face
Things are coming your way out there
Somewhere tonight it is the right time and place

I saw you baby for the very first time
Couldn't take my eyes off you girl
You just had to be mine
You're the kind that people long for 
It just had to be you girl
I know this time I'll make all my dreams come ture

Hey see the stars in his eyes
And the music in you tells you how 
You can find your way to paradise

Hey put a smile on your face
Things are coming your way out there 
Somewhere tonight it is the right time and place
Hey see the stars in his eyes
Does he value my love

Thank God I'm A Country Boy
Composer(s): John Sommers - John Martin Sommers
Performer(s): John Denver



Well, life on the farm is kind of laid back
Ain't much an old country boy like me can't hack
It's early to rise, early in the sack
Thank God, I'm A Country Boy

Well a simple kind of life never did me no harm
raisin' me a family and working on a farm
My days are all filled with an easy country charm
Thank God I'm a country boy 

When the work's all done and the sun's setting low
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin' up the bow
The kids are asleep so I keep it kind of low
Thank God I'm a country boy

I'd play "Sally Goodin'" all day if I could
But the Lord and my wife wouldn't take it very good
So I fiddle when I can, work when I should 
Thank God, I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm A country boy

Well I wouldn't trade my life for diamonds or jewels
I never was one of them money hungry fools
I'd rather have my fiddle and my farming tools
Thank God I'm a country boy

Yeah, city folk driving in a black limousine
A lot of sad people thinking that's mighty keen
Son, let me tell you now exactly what I mean
I thank God I'm a country boy

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me an old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy 

Well, my fiddle was my daddy's till the day he died
And he took me by the hand and held me close to his side
He said... 'Live a good life and play my fiddle with pride
And thank God you're a country boy

"My daddy taught me young how to hunt and how to whittle
He taught me how to work and play a tune on the fiddle 
Taught me how to love and how to give just a little
Thank God I'm a country boy 

Well, I got me a fine wife, I got me old fiddle
When the sun's coming up I got cakes on the griddle
Life ain't nothing but a funny, funny riddle
Thank God I'm a country boy 

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 For The Radio
Composer(s): Max D. Barnes - Robert John Jones
First release by: The Kendalls - 1983



At the wrong end of the highway
When the long night has no end
When there's no one there beside me
'Til I hold you once again

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

There's a song that we first danced to
There's a song that played the night we met
There's a song we fell in love to
That's a song I'll never forget

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Playin' all the songs that mean so much
Till I feel your tender touch
All the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio

Thank God For Kids

Performer(s): The Oakridge Boys
and multiple other artists



If it weren't for kids
have you ever thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus?
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids.

And we'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
Or Kool-aid on the couch
Thank God for kids

Thank God for kids
there's magic for awhile
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why?
The nearest thing to heaven is a child

Daddy how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other where's and why's
I really don't know but I try
Thank God for kids

When I look down 
in those trusting eyes
That look to me I realize
There's a love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids

When you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord for His guiding light
And pray they'll turn out right
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids

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

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone!

Thank God and Greyhound you're gone! 

Love's Old Song
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild; Glen Campbell



I'm singing love's old song
The one that when things go wrong, makes you happy
Makes you feel fine
I'm singing love's old song
The melody lingers on forever, now that you're mine

The one that tells how much I love you
The one that tells how, darling, there'll never be anyone above you
I'm singing love's old song
Together we'll sing along
It's heaven loving with you

La la la lalalala
La la la lalalala

I'm singing love's old song
I'll keep on singing as long as you hold me every night and day
I'm singing love's old song
It seems to carry me on forever in every way

The one that tells how much I love you
The one that tells how, darling, there'll never be anyone above you
I'm singing love's old song
Together we'll sing along
It's heaven loving with you
It's heaven loving with you

Love's Made A Fool Of You
((French Version: L'amour Se Joue De Nous (Vincent Palmer) - 1998))
Composer(s): Buddy Holly - Bob Montgomery
First recording/First release by: The Crickets - 1958/1959
Covered by multiple other artists



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

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

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

Love's In Our Hearts On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Gary Haase - James Lowell - John Werking
Performer(s): *NSync



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
