"Golden Slumbers / You Never Give Me Your Money"

"Golden Slumbers / You Never Give Me Your Money"


Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (Yes it did)

One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven [fade out]

"Got To Be There"

"Got To Be There"


Got to be there, got to be there in the morning when she says hello to the world.
Got to be there, got to be there, bring her good times and show her that she's my girl.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me.
'Cause when I look in her eyes.
I realize I need her sharing the world beside me.
So I've got to be there, got to be there in the morning, and welcome her into my world, and show her that she's my girl.
When she says hello world!
Got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there
When she needs someone to keep her through the night.
Got to be there, got to be there, to take her hand and lead her into my life.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know she loves me
'Cause when I look in her eyes,
I realize I need her sharing the world beside me.
That's why I've got to be there, got to be there where love begins and that's ev'rywhere she goes;
I've got to be there so she knows that when she's with me she's home.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there in the morning when he says hello to the world.
Got to be there, got to be there, bring him good times and show him that I'm his girl.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know he loves me.
'Cause when I look in his eyes.
I realize I need him sharing the world beside me.
So I've got to be there, got to be there in the morning, and welcome him into my world, and show him that I'm his girl.
When he says hello world!
Got to be there.

Got to be there, got to be there when he needs someone to keep him thru the night.
Got to be there, got to be there, to take his hand and lead him into my life.
Oh, what a feeling there'll be the moment I know he loves me
'Cause when I look in his eyes,
I realize I need him sharing the world beside me.
That's why I've got to be there, got to be there where love begins and that's ev'rywhere he goes;
I've got to be there so he knows that when he's with me he's home.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.
Got to be there, got to be there, got to be there.

"Greatest Love Of All"

"Greatest Love Of All"


I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

[Chorus:]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

"Groovin'"

"Groovin'"


Groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of...

Groovin'... down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do

There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just...

Groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha

We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly...

Groovin'... on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

"Hey Girl"

"Hey Girl"


Hey, Girl! I want you to know,
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go.
And, Hey, Girl! I tell you no lie,
Something deep inside of me's going to die,
If you say so long, if this is goodbye. Oh!

Hey, Girl! This can't be true,
How am I supposed to exist without you?
And, Hey, Girl! Now don't put me on,
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone.
How will I live. How can I go on.
How can I go on? Hey, Girl!

Hey, Girl! Now sit yourself down,
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground,
Don't go away. Hey, Girl!
Don't go away. Hey, Girl!

"How Do You Keep The Music Playing"

"How Do You Keep The Music Playing"


How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that i'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever...
Forever

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever

(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from
fading too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

"I Only Have Eyes For You"

"I Only Have Eyes For You"


Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear

The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if were in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I

Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
'Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if were in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I

Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
'Cause I only have eyes, I only have eyes
I only have eyes for you
