Thank God It's Friday
Thank God It's Friday
Composer(s): Alec R. Costandinos
Performer(s): Love & Kisses
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
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
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

Lilja Ruusu Ja Kirsikkapuu
Lilja Ruusu Ja Kirsikkapuu

1966 - Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Simon & Garfunkel)
1968 - La Fiera Del Perdono (I Califfi)

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
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
Thank God For Kids
Composer(s): Eddy Raven
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
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!

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

It's heaven loving with you
La la la lalalala

I'll keep on singing as long as you hold me every night and day

Love's Made A Fool Of 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
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
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

Love's Been Good To Me
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

Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me
Love's Been A Little Bit Hard On Me
Performer(s): Juice Newton
I've got nothing to be ashamed of
Love's been a little bit hard on me
If I shy away it's only because
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Oh love's been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on me
Love's been a little
Oh you know just been a little
Love's been a little bit hard on 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

Lovers Who Wander
Lovers Who Wander
Composer(s): Dion DiMucci - Ernie Maresca
Performer(s): Dion & The Belmonts
When she kissed me I was born and she said goodbye
And I knew right away I was born to cry
Now I'm happy and the joke's on her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
She took my love, said she's not comin' back
So my world and my sky was all turnin' black
Now I see the light, I'm wise to her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
A walkin' around thinkin' about her
Never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it
Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
My dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
Wo wo wo yeah, she took my love you see
Yeah, she doesn't bother me
Yeah I found that place to be
Yeah, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah walkin' around thinkin' about her
I never thought I could live without her
She broke my heart, I really showed it
Look at me now, you'd never know it
Now my story can be told with a smiling face
I'm the luckiest guy in the human race
All my lovin' dreams have gone for her
'Cause I found that place for lovers who wander
Dum dum did it, dum dum did it ...

Lover's Lullaby
Lover's Lullaby
Composer(s): Janis Ian
Performer(s): Janis Ian; The Walker Brothers
Lay down now and slumber
Mama's boy is torn asunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves are gone brown
Let me tell you a story
Lay down, I know you're weary
While the stars in the sky
While the moon's on the rise
Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby
Once was a magician
Fair he was, and handsome
And he brought to the table
all the fool's gold and wine
Well he promised us three favors
Said he was a savior
We drank all his glory
and we borrowed all his time
Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby
Bye, my love - sleep tight my love
Softly fade away
The moon was made of old green cheese
To keep the night away
Softly now, close your eyes
Lightly will you fade
The moon was made for wakeful boys
To keep the night away

Lovers In New York
Lovers In New York
Composer(s): Ray Evans - Jay Livingston - Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; Marlene VerPlanck; Diane Hubka
Lovers in New York with such a lovely day in store
We'll explore New York big and grand, hand in hand
We'll begin our day smiling at April in the park
Then we'll make our way round the town, up and down
At five we'll linger in a small café and bless the day we've spent
The Broadway lights will lead us to a show
Then home we'll go content dear
Are there new delights hiding behind that old address
Undiscovered heights to possess
Lovers in New York say yes
Are there new delights hiding behind that old address
Undiscovered heights to possess
Lovers in New York say yes
