"Leaving On A Jet Plane"

"Leaving On A Jet Plane"

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn, the taxi's waiting He's blowing his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down, so many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I'll think of you, every song I sing I'll sing for you,
when I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you, one more time let me kiss you,
then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone,
about the times I won't have to say:
kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go.

"Let It Be"
(originally by The Beatles)

"Let It Be"
(originally by The Beatles)

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me,

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

"Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For)"

"Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For)"

I am the son of a grassland farmer, western Oklahoma, nineteen forty-three.
I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free.
I gave up my father to South Korea, the mind of my brother to Vietnam,
now there's a banker who says I must give up my land.
There are four generations of blood in this topsoil, four generations of love on this farm.
Before I give up, I would gladly give up my right arm.

What are we making weapons for? Why keep on feeding the war machine?
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies, take it away from the hands of the poor,
tell me, what are we making weapons for?

I had a son and my son was a soldier, he was so like my father, he was so much like me.
To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be.
He gave up his future to revolution, his life to a battle that just can't be won.
For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun.
I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad, The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold,
I remember the moments, I prayed I would never grow old.

What are we making weapons for? Why keep on feeding the war machine?
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies, take it away from the hands of the poor,
tell me, what are we making weapons for?

For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner, a slave to the ways of the powers that be.
And I fear for my children, as I fear for the future I see.
Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other? What does it take for a people to learn?
If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn.

What are we making weapons for? Why keep on feeding the war machine?
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies, take it away from the hands of the poor,
tell me, what are we making weapons for?

Have we all forgotten all the lives that we are given,
all the vows that were taken, saying never again,
Now for the first time, this could be the last time. If peace is our vision, let us begin.

Have we all forgotten all the lives that we are given,
all the vows that were taken, saying never again,
Now for the first time, this could be the last time. If peace is our vision, let us begin,
let us begin.

"Like A Sad Song"

"Like A Sad Song"

Usually in the morning I'm filled with sweet belonging and everything is beautiful to see.
Even when it's raining, the sound of heaven singing is simply joyful music to me.
But sometimes I feel like a sad song, like I'm all alone without you.

So many different places, a million smiling faces, life is so incredible to me.
Especially to be near you and how it is to touch you, oh, paradise was made for you and me.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song, like I'm all alone without you.

I know that life goes on just perfectly and everything is just the way that it should be.
Still there are times when my heart feels like breaking and anywhere is where I'd rather be.
Oh, and in the nighttime, I know that it's the right time to hold you close and say I love you so.
To have someone to share with and someone I can care with
and that is why I wanted you to know.
Sometimes I feel like a sad song, like I'm all alone without you, without you .

"Little Saint Nick"

"Little Saint Nick"

Oo, merry Christmas, Santa only comes this time each year, oooo.
Well, way up north where the air gets cold,
there's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told.
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red,
and he spends the whole year working out on his sled,
it's a little Saint Nick, it's a little Saint Nick.

Just a little bobsled, calls it old Saint Nick,
But he sparks the buggy with a full speed stick.
He's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel,
Then he gives gas and just watch him peel, yeah,
it's a little Saint Nick, it's a little Saint Nick.

Run run reindeer, run run reindeer, run run reindeer,
run run reindeer, run run run, yeah!

He's rolling through the snow at a frightful speed
with a half dozen deer with Rudy to lead.
He's gotta wear his goggle cause the snow really flies,
and he's cruising every path with a little surprise,
it's a little Saint Nick, it's a little Saint Nick.

Oo, merry Christmas, Santa only comes this time each year,
(run run run run reindeer!)
Oo, merry Christmas, Santa only comes this time each year,
(run run run run reindeer!)
Oo, merry Christmas, Santa only comes this time each year,
(run run run run reindeer!) all right, that's nice. Sorry.

"Looking For Space"

"Looking For Space"

On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away.
When I think that I'm moving, suddenly things stand still.
I'm afraid cause I think they always will.
And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand.
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.

All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems.
I get lost in the sadness and the screams.
Then I look in the center and suddenly everything's clear.
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams
And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand.
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.

On the road of experience, join in the living day.
If there's an answer it's just that it's just that way,
When you're looking for space and to find out who you are.
When you're looking to try and reach the stars.
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.

"Love Again"

"Love Again"

I didn't think it could happen again, just too old and set in my ways.
I was convinced I would always be lonely all of the rest of my days.
Maybe I gave up on romance in my longing to give up the pain,
I just didn't believe I would ever love again.

I was like one who had shut myself in, closed the windows, locked all the doors.
Afraid of the dark and the beat of my heart, yet knowing there had to be more.
Though it sounds like a great contradiction, it's the easiest thing to explain,
you see, I was afraid I might never love again.

What does it take for a blind man to see that there's more there than just meets the eye?
What are the ways that the magic comes in that can turn a song into a sigh?
Sometimes I think that I'm dreaming or maybe I'm going insane,
or maybe it's just that I'm falling in love again.
Here I am standing beside you, oh, life's such a wonderful game.
Look at me now, I'm falling in love, look at me now, I'm falling in love,
look at me now, I'm falling in love again.
