Stuck In A Moment


Stuck In A Moment
Performer(s): U2



I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

You Are Not Alone


You Are Not Alone
Composer(s): Robert Kelly
Performer(s): Michael Jackson; Ovid Alexis;
Robert Avellanet; Ron Brown; Pam Hall;
Rupert Parker; Diana Ross; Spectrum; Kim Waters



Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

All You Need Is Elves


All You Need Is Elves
Composer(s): Dennis Amero - Joe Bryant - Spike O'Neill - Bob Rivers)
Performer(s): Bob Rivers & Twisted Radio



Elves, elves, elves
Elves, elves, elves
Elves, elves, elves

Santa doesn't shop at Toys "R" Us
Doesn't have to fight the Christmas rush
He's never out of stock of even the hardest toys and games
It's easy

Nothing in his sack he really made
No one gets forgotten Christmas day
So if you wanna know how he gets it done in the knick of time
It's easy

All you need is elves
That's us!
All you need is elves
The little people
All you need is elves, Love
Elves are all you need

Toys "R" Elves
All toys are made by elves
Elves, elves, elves
There's nothing we can't make.
Elves, elves, elves
Do you have any idea how hard it is to make a 64-bit video system out
of wood?

Ho, ho, let me tell you, it ain't easy

No kidding!

Tell me about it!

All you need is elves
All you need is elves
We're non-union labor
All you need is elves, Love
Elves are all you need

Nothing you can know not much is known
'Cause no one's ever caught one in his home
They're never really seen but that doesn't mean that they're make
believe
They're teensy
Hey! Watch where you're stepping, you big freak!

All you need is elves
All you need is elves
We're too short for Space Mountain
All you need is elves, Love
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need
Elves are all you need…

He loves you, ho, ho, ho
He loves you, ho....

You Are Never Far Away From Me


You Are Never Far Away From Me
Composer(s): Allan Roberts; Robert Allen
Performer(s): Perry Como; Ray Charles Singers;
Ray Ellis; Carolyn Leonhart



You are never far away from me
When we part I hold your memory!
You linger in my dreams
When day has flown
And through the lonely night
I'm not alone!

When two sweethearts care, as you and I
There's no sadness in the word, good-bye!
Because you're always in my heart my love
Wherever I may be
You are never far away from me!

I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you

You Are My World


You Are My World
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Bobby London
Performer(s): Perry Como



If I told you, how I feel inside
Would you understand the love I'm feelin'
Would you run away and hide?

I do, love you
And I always will
Love's not a word I've often spoken
You make my restless heart stand still!

You are my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!

(I will ...) I will ... (love you ...) love you ...
(Like no one before ...)
An' should you ever ask how much I love you
I'd say I couldn't love you more!

'Cause you're my world, my newborn soul
Here is my heart for you to hold
You're every dream of love come true
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!

(You're every dream of love come true ...)
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!

Cowpuncher's Cantata


Cowpuncher’s Cantata
Composer(s): Max Bygraves
Performer(s): Max Bygraves



I travelled across to America
And when I arrived in America
They said, “Son, you know, you can’t go wrong
If you finish your show with a cowboy song”
So I practiced all day to get the song right
And I dreamed of those songs all through the night

That night I heard the wild goose cry
He’d got mixed up with the riders in the sky
Tried to sleep, but it was in vain
Have you ever tried sleeping on a mule train

Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiioooooooowwwww!

My heart goes where the mule train goes
And I must go where the mule train goes
Brother goose, mother goose, don’t you fear
‘Cos I’ve arrived, and to prove it I’m ‘ere

Iyyyyeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooooooowwwww!
Aha, Yma Sumac?

The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you’re looking for the wild goose, he’s on the mule train
So cowboy mend your ways today, forget your life of sin
And you will be in time to meet the shrimp boats coming in

Oyoyoyoy, giddup there, go on old paint there, go on

My heart goes where the shrimp boats go
And I must go where the shrimp boats go
I’m gonna ride that dusty trail
‘Cos they’ve locked up my lover in Allentown jail

You know this kinda reminds me of the first time I blew into Tombstone city
Yessir, that night I slept on the prairie and all night long those prairie dogs
kept howlin’. I couldn’t understand why they kept howlin’, then I found out
Ain’t no trees on the prairie, jest cactus.

If ever the devil was born
Without a pair of horns
It was you, Sonny Boy

You Are My Sunshine


You Are My Sunshine
Composer(s): Charles Mitchell; Jimmy Davis
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
and no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
you have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

All On A Christmas Morning


All On A Christmas Morning
Composer(s): Alfred Shaddick Burt
Performer(s): Jimmy Joyce
and multiple other artists



O, who are these that throng the way
To Bethlehem, to Bethlehem,
And onward press in glad array
All on a Christmas morning

Good Christian men and maids they are
From countries near and lands afar
Allured by yonder beckoning star
All on a Christmas morning

What do they hasten thence to see
In Bethlehem, in Bethlehem,
That they fare forth so merrily
All on a Christmas morning

O, they a vision fair would view
Would find the beautiful and true,
And faith and hope and love renew
All on a Christmas morning

And what is this they are carrying
To Bethlehem, to Bethlehem
What is it in their arms they bring
All on a Christmas morning

They bear good gifts in rich excess
Of love and joy and thankfulness
With which mankind they fain would bless
All on a Christmas morning

You Are My Lucky Star


You Are My Lucky Star
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Gene Kelly & Debbie Reynolds;
and various other artists



In my imagination
I searched the starlit sky so bright
In my imagination
There I saw you in the night

And on the day I saw you
How could I help but realise?
My lucky star was smiling right there
Before my very eyes...

You are my lucky star
I saw you from afar
Two lovely eyes at me they were beaming, gleaming
I was star struck

You're all my lucky charms
I'm lucky in your arms
You've opened heaven's portal
Here on Earth for this poor mortal
You are my lucky star!

Strong In Reason


Strong In Reason
Composer(s): Chris Difford - Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



You get your trunks out of the drawer
You see your self as once before
The empty box lies on the chair
Another steroid grease your hair
The sun ray lamp is put away
There is no reason to be afraid
So fix yourself into a shape
Your audience is half awake
The time has come to flex your back
Another day for you meat rack

Strong in vigour
Strong in arm
Strong with almost perfect charm
Strong in tension
Strong in strength
Strong in almost every sense

Out on the stage the lights are green
It's one step forward now you've been seen
The right arm up the left arm down
Open mouthed the vacant crowd
Your chest of wax flips like a coin
Into the rhythm into the join
The ladies in the comfortable seats
They look at you with eyes so deep
Don't take a bow because your get the sack
I'm pleased to slag you off meat rack

You Are My Love (Mario Lanza)


You Are My Love
Composer(s): Constantine Callinicos; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Mario Lanza; Hank Jones



You are my love
you're the sun in my sky
You're the love song that I
will remember

You are my love
you're the warm, golden moon
you're the promise of June
in December

No other arms, no other lips, no other smile sets my heart afire
No other dream, no other sighs, no
other kiss burns with such desire

You are my love, till the oceans run dry, till the stars in the sky fail to shine

You'll always be - my love to me
So tell me you'll always be mine!

Strong Enough To Bend


Strong Enough To Bend
Composer(s): Beth Nielsen Chapman - Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker
and multiple other artists



There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend

For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "Hey well I might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend

When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "Hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue

Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend

Strong Enough


Strong Enough
Composer(s): Paul Barry - Mark Taylor
Performer(s): Cher



I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no one
I hear you reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?

Now I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying long enough
Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath
And then walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

So you feel misunderstood
Baby, have I got news for you
One being used, I could write the book
But you don't wanna hear about it

I've been losing sleep
You've been going cheap
She ain't worth half of me it's true
Now I'm telling you

That I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying long enough
Now I'm strong enough to know you've gotta go

Come hell or waters high
You'll never see me cry
This is our last goodbye, it's true

I'm telling you

Now I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying long enough
Now I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath
And then walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

You Are My First Love


You Are My First Love
Composer(s): Bobby Powell; C.L. Roberts
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Ruby Murray



You are my first love
My first and last love
We'll make this love last forever

We'll prove a love as
Young as spring keeps growing
Even though the chill
November winds keep blowing

We'll show that two hearts
Two young but true hearts
Can do what few hearts
Have done before

Til the sun grows cold
Til time stands still
We'll feel the magic thrill
Of our first love

Strong As Steel


Strong As Steel
Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips



We've been so close to each other
Can't think of a moment that you weren't there
We've been through so much together
Can't think of a feeling that we haven't shared

Ooh, how many lovers
Ever find the kind of love that we haven't got?
Ooh, and many others
`Cause you know what we got is a rare thing
Ooh, it's everlasting

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love's strong as steel

I want to tell you...Oh baby

We've been right here for each other
Even through the times when times were hard for us
Any rain we came through shining
Oh, I knew we'd make it all it takes is trust

Ooh, and now there's nothing
That could ever come between me and you
Oh, baby…Ooh, our love is one thing
That just keeps on getting better
The more that we're together

This love is as strong as steel
Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love's strong as steel

Oh-oh, there ain't no raging river
Gonna sweep this love away
Gonna stand together heart to heart
Nothing's gonna tear this love apart…this ove

This love's strong…as steel
This love's strong as steel
Break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
This love is a love that's real
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love, strong as steel
Strong as steel now, baby
Strong as steel now, darlin'
This love (I want to tell you)
It's as deep as any ocean goes
It's gonna last, don't you know?
This love (it's as) strong as steel

Can't break it up or break it down
It's always gonna be around
