Covered by multiple other artists
Wherever you go
Wherever you may wonder in your life
Well surely you know, I always wanna be there
Holding your hand
And standing by to catch you when you fall
Seeing you through, in everything you do
I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
Watching you grow
And going through the changes in your life
That's how I know, I always wanna to be there
Whenever you feel you need a friend to lean on
Here I am
Whenever you call, you know I'll be there
I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
Let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
All I ask you is let me be there
I said let me be there in your morning
Let me be there in your night
Let me change whatever's wrong and make it right
Let me take you to that wonderland that only two can share
All I ask you, is let me be there
All I ask you is let me be there

Let Me Be The One (The Carpenters)
Let Me Be The One
Composer(s): Paul Williams - Roger Nichols
First release by: The Carpenters - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
Some sleepless night
if you should find yourself alone
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one
To set things right
when this old world's turned upside down
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one
For love and understanding
to find a quiet place
For silent understanding
a loving touch
Come to me when things go wrong
and there's no love to light the way
Let me be the one you run to
Let me be the one you come to
when you need someone to turn to
Let me be the one

Dearest friends, dear gentlemen
Listen to my song
Life down here's been hard for you
Life has made you strong

Success (Loretta Lynn)
Success ((aka Success Has Made A Failure Of Our Home (by Sinéad O'Connor) - 1992))
Composer(s): John Mullins
First release by: Loretta Lynn - 1962
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success had made a failure of our home
If we could share an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done to you
You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home

Let Me Be
Let Me Be
Composer(s): P.F. Sloan
Performer(s): The Turtles
Please don't mistake me or try to make me
The shadow of anybody else
I ain't the him or her you think I am
I'm just trying hard to be myself
Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole
That may sound good to you, not to me
Let me be, let me be
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to plan me or understand me
I can't stand to be understood
I could never give in to or ever live up to
Being like you think I should
I've got some inner need which I'm tryin' to heed
I can't take hand-me-down destiny
Let me be, let me be,
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to change me or rearrange me
To satisfy the selfishness of you
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules
But to-each-his-own philosophy
Let me be, let me be
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be

Let me, let me, let me
Baby don't you get me
Let me, let me, let me
Baby don't you get me
Come on baby, don't you get me
Come on baby, won't you let me
Can't you see what I'm trying to do
Doing my best to try to get to you
Don't you hear what I'm trying to say
All the right words but still you run away
Come on, come on baby don't you get me
Alright, don't it seem that when you love somebody
Ain't it right that somebody loves you too
But I know my love is going somewhere
But I'm sure it ain't being got by you
And it's true won't you try, won't you try
Let me, let me, let me
Baby don't you get me
Come on baby, don't you get me
Come on baby, won't you let me

Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart
Breakin' Up Is Breakin' My Heart
Composer(s): Bill Dees; Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison; Truly Lover Trio
I wonder why you threw your diary away
When you walk back I nearly die
What can I say
Things were fine, you were mine just yesterday
Now we're apart
Breaking up is breaking my heart
I find myself alone at night, and then I cry
No tenderness
My happiness just said goodbye
Now your gone, and I'm alone
I wonder why we had to part
Breaking up is breaking my heart
Baby, breaking up is breaking my heart
The love affair we used to share
Is cold, and still I loved you then
I love you now, I always will
The day that you found someone new
My lonely world just fell apart
Out of your arms drives me out of my mind
Baby, breaking up is breaking my heart

Let Me (Elvis Presley)
Let Me
Composer(s): Elvis Presley - Ken Darby
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Whenever I dance with the girl I love
My head goes round and round
When she's close to me
I can't stay on the ground
Whenever I dance with the girl I love
I never have a care
All night I'm so light
I walk right on the air
Oh let me, oh honey let me
Let me do what you know I love to do
Please take another chance and let me
Let me have another dance with you
Whenever I feel those pretty arms
Reaching round about
That feeling goes to my toes
And all the lights go out, go out, go out
Whenever I see those eyes of blue
Smiling up so shy
I'm in such a spin I take right off and fly
So let me, oh honey let me
Let me do what you know I love to do
Please take another chance and let me
Let me have another dance with you
So let me dance in the arms I love
Thrill me through and through
I'm so drunk with love
That all I see is you
I never hear the music play
I never see the crowd
Only you and me
Dancing on a cloud
Oh let me, oh honey let me
Let me do what you know I love to do
Please take another chance and let me
Let me have, another dance, with you

Breakin' Down The Walls
Breakin' Down The Walls
Composer(s): Phil Bates
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
Talk is cheap, but it can't pay
For all the hurt you threw my way
Oh, no - oh, no
Love is blind but I can see
You're trying to make a fool of me
I know - i know
Sometimes i feel just like I'm running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you won't hurt me twice, oh no
Chorus
No matter what you say
You'll never stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart
No matter what you do
You just can't stop me
Breaking down the walls around your heart
Love is passion, love is pain
The heat is on, we're all insane
I know, I know
Life is bitter, life is sweet
You just can't ever admit defeat
Oh, no - oh, no
Sometimes it feels like we've been fighting too long
It can't be right to make me feel so wrong - oh, no
Chorus
Did you ever feel like superman
Got the world in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls
Did you ever feel like a drowning man
Got your life in your hands
But you never can
Seem to break down the walls
Sometimes it feels just like I'm running on ice
I might slip and slide girl
But you won't hurt me twice - oh, no
Chorus

Let Love Speak For Itself
Let Love Speak For Itself
Composer(s): John Stimpson - Ian Wilson - Paul Young
Performer(s): Sad Café
In my life there are so many things I wanna do
But the main thing in my life, baby, is loving you
You know the hard times I had when I was feeling so down
When things didn’t work out right
You came along with your magic touch
Helped me all through the lonely nights
Keep your true love all to yourself
Don’t give your love to anyone else
Let love speak for itself
Never had anyone in my life as sweet as you
And the thought of us being apart like this
Just can't be true
You know the vision of love I had was never quite right
Cos I didn’t understand
You took the love that was in my heart
You're a rose in a barren land
Keep your true love all to yourself
Don’t give your love to anyone else
Let love speak for itself
Never had anyone in my life as sweet as you
And the thought of us being apart like this
Just can't be true
You know the vision of love I had was never quite right
Cos I didn’t understand
You took the love that was in my heart
You're a rose in a barren land
Keep your true love all to yourself
Don’t give your love to anyone else
Let love speak for itself
Let love speak for itself
Let love speak for itself

Let Joy And Innocence Prevail
Let Joy And Innocence Prevail
Composer(s): Hans Zimmer - Trevor Horn
Performer(s): Grace Jones
I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier
Gone to war in some strange country far away
No word had come to her
But the rumors of great battles fought
Men dying in their thousands and a world full of fear
As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle
And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen
As she placed it in the window softly without thinking
She said let this burning candle be a beacon
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Believe that love will never fail
Let joy and innocence prevail
And one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husband fall
In a great white cavalry charge
And waking in tears, she saw the candle burning in the window
She still had hope
And through the window, a man in the distance
But has he came closer, she saw he was a stranger
The stranger said I bring a message from a general
A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread
He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him
But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid
And she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearless
A captain and a husband I have gained this bright new day
And she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside him
And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Believe that love will never fail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Believe that love will never fail
Let joy and innocence prevail
Let joy and innocence prevail

Let It Shine
Let It Shine
Composer(s): Austin Roberts - Bill LaBounty - Beckie Foster
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
There's a star up above the horizon
And it's shining for you and me
Something tells me this was meant to be
Do you feel like a dance in the moonlight
Is your heart beating crazy like mine?
You've got something burning bright
Don't keep it locked inside
Let it shine, show me your light
Let it shine, keep it shining into the night
Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see
Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Don't you wish you could live every moment
Like that moment's the best one you'll see?
That's the way the world is supposed to be
When you find someone you can believe in
Letting go is the easy part
Just close your eyes and take a breath
And open up your heart
Let it shine, show me your light
Let it shine, keep it shining into the night
Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see
Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Everyone puts in their time alone in the dark
Reach out and you're gonna find
The very best part of who you are
Let it shine, show me your light
Let it shine, keep it shining into the night
Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see
Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Let it shine, ohh...show me your light
Let it shine, keep it shining into the night
Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see
Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me
Let it shine, ohh...won't you let it shine?
Let it shine, keep it shining into the night
Let it shine, don't hide it, it's something to see
Let it shine, let your love, let it shine on me ...

Breakfast In America
Breakfast In America
Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp
and various other artists
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have 'em in Texas
Cos everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do
Don't you look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do

Performer(s): Doris Day; Steve Beresford & His Piano And Orch.
Baby, your eyes have that look
And, baby, I put down my book
And maybe, we won't be disturbed
By a thing
Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring
Oh, baby, I've got you alone
And, baby, I'm not made of stone
And maybe, we won't be disturned
By a thing, this is too much
Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring
Doesn't matter who's on the line
When your lips are so close to mine
Don't let anybody intrude on this mood
We're incommunicado
Baby, if someone should call
Ignore it, do nothing at all
Just kiss me, who knows what
This moment may bring
Just let it ring, let it ring
Oh, let it ring
