"How Long Will I Love You" - Ellie Goulding

 

http://www.chinadailyasia.com/attachement/jpg/site441/20161207/1481093178644_305.jpg

 

How long will I love you

As long as stars are above you

And longer if I can

 

How long will I need you

As long as the seasons need to

Follow their plan

 

How long will I be with you

As long as the sea is bound to

Wash up on the sand

 

How long will I want you

As long as you want me to

And longer by far

 

How long will I hold you

As long as your father told you

As long as you can

 

How long will I give to you

As long as I live through you

However long you say

 

How long will I love you

As long as stars are above you

And longer if I may

 

How long will I love you

As long as stars are above you

"Truth" - Tim Halperin

 

Truth

I’ve been searching for you

Since the day I was born

And the older that I get

It seems I just need you more

 

See the devil’s at my back

And oh, there’s darkness at my feet

And all these voices in my ear

They’re making it harder to believe

I just need some truth

 

Pain

I’ve been hiding from you

For twenty five years

I tried hard to ignore you

But it’s time to face my fears

 

And everyday you chip away

At the promises I keep

But don’t you know

The stones you throw

Only bring me to my knees

 

[CHORUS:]

So holy water come down

And save me from myself

Holy water come down

And fill this empty well

Cause all is not well

 

Love

I’ve been looking for you

In the middle of the night

Been staying optimistic

Oh but something just ain’t right

 

Penny wishing

For a savior

Wearing makeup and high heels

God I’m so sick of band aids

Wanna hold onto something real

Wanna hold onto something real

 

[CHORUS]

(x2)

 

So save me from myself

Save me from this place

It's getting hard to see

In this darkness that I can't shake

The older I get

The more I am in need

Oh save me

Just save me

 

So holy water come down

And save me from myself

Holy water come down

And fill this empty well

"Free" - Paula Cole

 

I keep walking down

The same city streets

The same city lines

To the same lonely beat

 

People say hello

But I don't know what to say

I don't know how I feel

I just can't act that way

 

I wanna hide

From all these strangers

I wanna run home to you

All I need is your compassion

 

[CHORUS:]

And then we can be free

Yes, I wanna be free

Yes, I wanna be free

Yes, I wanna be free

 

Oh the way I'm shut out

By your silence

It's the loudest thing

I've ever known

 

You leave me

Leave me hanging

And I feel useless

With my hope

 

[CHORUS]

(x2)

 

Oh it's lonely in the city

It can be lonely next to you

Oh, just have the courage

To open up yourself

 

[CHORUS]

 

I just wanna be free

Oh wanna be free

Yea, yea, yea, yea

Yea, yea, oh

 

I wanna be free

Yes, I just wanna be free

Yes, I wanna be free

"Hummingbird" - Cat Stevens

There's a yellow flower by your bed

Sadly drooping its perfumed head

So you won't smell it

I know what you'll miss

 

And there's a hummingbird

A hummingbird, a hummingbird

A hummingbird

Oh there's a hummingbird

Singing

 

There is the hat you made

The clothes you wore

Lying down on the cold dirty floor

The colors are fading

They'll never shine again

 

But there's a hummingbird

A hummingbird, a hummingbird

A hummingbird

Oh there's a hummingbird

Singing

 

Now the road it's turning gray

There's a shadow where you once lay

They'll find it tomorrow

And think you went alone

 

But there's a hummingbird

A hummingbird, a hummingbird

A hummingbird

Oh there's a hummingbird

Crying

 

:'(  :'(

"Rain" - The Corrs

 

Going crazy in the middle of the night

Slipping sliding into heavenly bliss

Fallen angel spinning from the light

Slipping sliding into heavenly lace

 

But it's all, it's alright now

Cause we're living for this night

For so long now

Yes it's all, it's alright

 

We are living on hope

We are living on life

Depending on truth until the day we die

We are living on hope

We are living on life

Depending on truth until the day we die

 

Lost and lazy, floating through the dawn

And twisting, turning, in a hazy mist

A guardian angel of silver and ice

Sweeping, sinking in a stream of light

 

But it's all, it's alright now

Cause we're living for this night

For so long now

Yes it's all, it's alright

 

We are living on hope

We are living on life

Depending on truth until the day we die

We are living on hope

We are living on life

Depending on truth until the day we die

"You Can Rely On Me" - Jason Mraz

 

 

Sometimes I rock, sometimes I roll

Sometimes it's not me in control

Sometimes I gotta jump

Before I know what's below

Sometimes I gotta drop everything and go

 

Some days we're hot, some days we're cold

Some days we're carrying a heavy load

Some days we're digging in

And the love may not show

But I want you to know

 

[CHORUS:]

You can rely on me

Yes you can

You can rely on me

To understand you

You can rely on me

For anything

You can rely, you can rely on me

 

And when life is hinging on regret

Like you made up your mind

And then you second guessed it

There's so much you wanna try

That you haven't tried yet

Oh, I've got your back through all of it, yes I do

 

[CHORUS]

 

It's you who brought me back when I was lost

Everything I learned you taught me

How to wise up and pay a little more attention

You showed me how to listen

So listen

 

You can rely on me

Yes you can

 

You can rely on me

Yes you can

You can rely on me

To understand you

You can rely on me

For anything

You can rely

You can rely on me

"Sometimes You Cry" - Smokie

When you're going round in circles

And your head is full of rage

When you're fighting for a reason

Trying to turn another page

There's no hope in what you're doing

Trying to reach another high

When your friends have gone and left you

Left you out to dry

 

And the memories they haunt you

In the dark and in the light

From the jungle of the daytime

To the jungle of the night

In the passion of the moonlight

To the dawning of daylight

What would seem to try elude you

It's a b*tch of a fight

 

[CHORUS:]

Sometimes you cry

Sometimes you think it's not worthwhile

You're losing your sleep

You're losing your mind

 

In the days that went before you

You could open any door

But then time ran out of favors

And you don't work anymore

Get a hold of all your dreaming

Take them all down from the shelf

Turn your face toward the mirror

And you'll see your real self

 

[CHORUS]

 

It's the real time in the real world

Take your feelings with some pride

Have spirit, have some passion

Cause when spirit's gone you die

When this passion phase is gone from you

You'll end up wondering why

Such a foolish thing could happen

Take your wings and start to fly

 

Sometimes you cry

Sometimes you think it's not worthwhile

You're losing your sleep

You're losing your mind

"Water On The Brain" - The Hollies

 

I've just come in from out of the rain

It's wet outside the water runs down a drain

I go to bed cause my head's full of pain

 

And drip drip it's driving me wild

Drip drip it's driving me wild

 

Outside the window there's a pipe wearing thin

It lets the water do a dance on a tin

I try to sleep but it's making a din

 

And drip drip it's driving me wild

Drip drip it's driving me wild

 

Water on the brain

Water on the brain

Water on the brain

Water on the brain

 

Drip drip it's driving me wild

Drip drip it's driving me wild

 

I toss and turn and my patience is weak

Go to the bathroom door and I take a peak

The bath tap has started a leak

 

And drip drip it's driving me wild

Drip drip it's driving me wild

Drip drip it's driving me wild

Drip drip it's driving me wild

" Swimming"

Florence + The Machine

 

 

"Swimming"

 

Your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Dragged further away from the shore,

And deeper into the drink

 

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,

A stern and stubborn rock

'Cause your songs remind me of swimming,

But somehow I forgot

 

I was sinking, and now I'm sunk

I was drinking, and now I'm drunk

Your songs remind me of swimming,

But somehow I forgot

 

I tried to remember the chorus,

I can't remember the verse

'Cause that song that sent me swimming,

Is now the life jacket that burst

 

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,

Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore

'Cause our songs remind me of swimming,

But I can't swim anymore

 

Pull me out the water, cold and blue,

I open my eyes and I see that it's you,

So I dive straight back in the ocean

So I dive straight back in the ocean

 

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest

Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest

Cross my fingers and hope for the best

 

Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,

It started in my chest and ended in my throat

Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized

I was swimming,

Yes, I was swimming

And now I'm swimming,

Yes, I am swimming

 

Your songs remind me of swimming

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started to sink

Oh, your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started

Your songs remind me of swimming,

Which I forgot when I started to sink

" Have You Got It In You?"

Imogen Heap

 

 

"Have You Got It In You?"

 

It takes a lot...to be always on form...

It takes a lot.

I maybe not...all the time, all I've got...

Maybe not.

 

Been one of those days...

Safety first, don't push...what's the hurry?

One nerve remaining, waiting on one look....have you got it?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

 

All at once, not a whisper, nor word.

Then all at once...

Let me have it all, let me have a battle on,

Easy target,

Look can we just...just get it over with.

It's getting worse, against all the odds...

It's getting worse.

(Guard down, floor's yours, last man standing can we, just get it over with.)

 

Been one of those days...

Safety first, don't push...don't push me...what's the hurry?

Cause there's One nerve remaining, waiting on one look,

One look now...have you got it?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

 

Blue blue day make me blue...

Head down, quick! Take cover, big girl in a mood.

Blue you, make me anymore blue?

Long spin shout power clean right out of your suit.

 

One more, one more, one more, one more

 

Been one of those days...

Safety first, don't push...what's the hurry?

One nerve remaining, waiting on one look...have you got it?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

Have you got it in you?

" Kindly Calm Me Down"

Meghan Trainor

 

https://youtu.be/3Y-BL7CjWhE

 

"Kindly Calm Me Down"

 

So cold, alone

Could you be my blanket?

Surround my bones

When my heart feels naked

No strength, too weak

I could use some saving

And you're love's so strong

 

Like a pill I take it, I take it, I take it

Like a pill, your love, I take it

I take it, I take it

Like a pill, your love, I take it

 

When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?

When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?

If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?

If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?

 

When my heart's not pure

Would you kill my disease?

And when there's no cure

You are just what I need

When I lose my mind

Would you still remind me?

When I'm feeling lost

Would you come and find me?

 

I'd take it, I would take it

Like a pill, your love, I take it

I take it, I take it

Like a pill, your love, I take it

 

When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?

When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?

If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?

If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?

 

When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?

When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?

If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?

If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?

 

When my world gets loud, could you make it quiet down?

When my head, it pounds, could you turn down all the sound?

If I lay in pain, by my side would you stay?

If I need you now, would you kindly calm me down?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, would you kindly calm me down?

" I Won't Let Go"

Rascal Flatts

 

 

 

"I Won't Let Go"

 

It's like a storm

That cuts a path

It breaks your will

It feels like that

 

You think you're lost

But you're not lost on your own

you're not alone

 

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

If you can't cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I won't let go

 

It hurts my heart

To see you cry

I know it's dark

This part of life

Oh it finds us all

And we're too small

To stop the rain

Oh but when it rains

 

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

And you can't cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

 

And I won't let you fall

Don't be afraid to fall

I'm right here to catch you

I won't let you down

It won't get you down

you're gonna make it

Yeah I know you can make it

 

Cause I will stand by you

I will help you through

When you've done all you can do

And you can't cope

And I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I won't let go

Oh I'm gonna hold you

And I won't let go

Won't let you go

No I won't

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Skylark" - Aretha Franklin

 

Linda Ronstadt

 

Skylark

Have you anything to say to me

Won't you tell me where my love can be

Is there a meadow in the mist

Where someone's waiting to be kissed

 

Skylark

Have you seen a valley green with spring

Where my heart can go journeying

Over the shadows and the rain

To a blossom covered lane

 

And in your lonely flight

Oh, haven't you heard music in the night

Wonderful music faint as a will o' the wisp

Crazy as a loon

Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon

 

Skylark

Oh, I don't know if you can find these things

Oh, but my heart is riding on your wings

So if you see them anywhere

Won't you lead me there

"We Are Unbreakable" -Hedley

 

I'm beat but I can't be broken

Knocked down

But you gave me hope

And I can see it now

Just gotta dig out

These scars on my heart I own them

Dark days when my will was stolen

I can bring it back

Yeah I know it, I know it

And I'm starting to feel again

 

[Chorus:]

One way out I found it

Won't back down

Surrounded

You and me right now

Yeah we are, we are

We are unbreakable

All this doubt in my head

Drown it out

Don't let it happen

To you and me right now

Yeah we are, we are

We are unbreakable

 

Shipwrecked by a sea so stormy

I'm lost but I'm never lonely

I can see now

That you are my way out

I was drifting on the ocean tide

Out of hope when I saw your light 

You can bring me back

Yeah I know it, I know it

And I'm starting to feel again

 

[Chorus]

I follow my heart through it all

Holding on to you

Together we'll never fall

Cause we are unbreakable

 

One way out I found it

Won't back down

Surrounded

You and me right now

Yeah we are, we are

We are unbreakable

All this doubt in my head

Drown it out

Don't let it happen

To you and me right now

Yeah we are, we are

We are unbreakable

 

We are unbreakable

We are unbreakable

"I Will Be There" - Odessa

 

http://www.tour-beijing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Panda-Breeding-and-Research-Center.jpg

 

If you ever need someone

To cry to

If you ever need someone

To hold you

 

[CHORUS:]

I will be there

Standing by your side

I will be there

Standing by your side

 

If you ever need someone

To just love you

If you ever need someone

To simply adore you

 

[CHORUS]

 

And from the mountains to the sea

In the city

From the valleys to the moon 

In every country

 

I will be there

Standing beside you

I will be there

Standing by your side

 

I will be there

"Scream" - Collective Soul

 

Push me to the left

Pull me to the right

I never know where to go

Burning that trail

To the promised land

We're moving on out of control

 

Well I don't want to be

Some puppet on a string

And I don't want to learn

Of things you can't explain

And I don't want to have

Your views on everything

 

[CHORUS:]

I just want to scream

Scream about hurting

Scream about mercy

Scream about something

Scream about nothing

 

Let it out now

 

Take me to the hills

Leave me in the plains

Give me some room to breathe

The words you spill

The moves you make

I find them all hard to believe

 

Well I don't want to be

A statistic in the street

And I don't want to give

When all you share is greed

And I don't want to have

One more enemy

 

[CHORUS]

 

There you go with all your might

Giving promises by decree

Well God is great and God is good

But God you'll never be

 

Well I don't want to be

Your hospitality

And I don't want to live

With false reality

See I'm the one obsessed

With truth and honesty

 

I just want to scream

Scream about hurting

Scream about mercy

Scream about something

Scream about nothing

 

Scream about hurting

Scream about mercy

Scream about something

Scream about nothing

"I Can't Make It Alone"

 

Dusty Springfield

Maria McKee

Lou Rawls

https://youtu.be/kr6Jn73glQs

 

Now you know me

You know how proud I am

And what I'm gonna tell you now

Won't be easy to say

 

Before I left your side

Ooh, I was so happy then

But I've been so lonely

Since I've been away

 

Oh, baby

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone

It's such a hard way to go

I just can't make it alone

There's something in my soul

That will always lead me back to you

 

What can I say now

Sorry is just not good enough

I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now

The way I hurt you then

 

But who else can I turn to

Oh, baby, I'm begging you

Won't you reach out for my dying soul

And make me live again

 

Oh, baby, it's so hard

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone

It's such a hard way to go

I just can't make it alone

There's something in my soul

That will always lead me back to you

 

Baby, help me

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone

It's such a hard way to go

And I can't make it alone

There's something in my soul

That will always lead me back to you

 

Oh, help me

You know I need you

I'm saying that I need you

I just can't make it by myself

 

I just can't make it all alone

I just can't make it by myself

"Amazing" - Aerosmith

 

I kept the right ones out

And let the wrong ones in

Had an angel of mercy

To see me through all my sins

 

There were times in my life

When I was going insane

Trying to walk through

The pain

 

When I lost my grip

And I hit the floor

Yeah, I thought I could leave

But couldn't get out the door

 

I was so sick and tired

Of living a lie

And I was wishing

That I would die

 

It's amazing

With the blink of an eye

You finally see the light

It's amazing

When the moment arrives

That you know you'll be alright

It's amazing

And I'm saying a prayer

For the desperate hearts tonight

 

That one last shot's

A permanent vacation

And how high can you fly

With broken wings

 

Life's a journey

Not a destination

And I just can't tell

Just what tomorrow brings

 

You have to learn to crawl

Before you learn to walk

But I just couldn't listen

To all that righteous talk

 

I was out on the street

Just trying to survive

Scratching to stay alive

 

It's amazing

With the blink of an eye

You finally see the light

It's amazing

When the moment arrives

That you know you'll be alright

It's amazing

And I'm saying a prayer

For the desperate hearts tonight

"You Are Loved" - Cece Winans

 

http://9227-presscdn-0-11.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_9352-970x642.jpg

 

When I promised I'd be there

And told you I would always care

Well I meant every word

 

And I know it's hard to let me close

Those times it really hurts the most

I'm trying desperately to be heard

 

Though you try to push me away

I can feel your sorrow

You don't have to be afraid

 

[CHORUS:]

Cause you, you are loved

Somebody told me to tell you

You've been waiting for someone to say

You are loved

So let your heart be encouraged

It's gonna be okay

Cause you are loved

 

You are not alone you've got a friend

To be by your side from the start till the end

And I will always be around for you

 

So whenever you begin to doubt

Oh my love for you will show

Just how I'm faithful and that I remain true

 

No matter what life takes you through

You see I will be the one

That you can always come back to

 

[CHORUS]

 

Believe within your heart

From this moment on

There's someone who loves you

In a special way

 

No matter what you do

No matter what you say

Just remember this every day

 

You are loved

Somebody told me to tell you

You've been waiting for someone to say

You are loved

So let your heart be encouraged

It's gonna be okay

Cause you are loved

 

Somebody loves you

Somebody told me to tell you

Told me to say that you are loved

You gotta believe it

Someone told me to tell you

Someone told me to say

You are loved

You are loved

"American Tune," by Paul Simon. 

 

"And far above my eyes could clearly see, the Statue of Liberty sailing away from me."

 

Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Yes, and often felt forsaken

And certainly misused

But I'm all right, I'm all right

I'm just weary to my bones

Still, you don't expect to be

Bright and bon vivant

So far away from home, so far away from home

 

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered

I don't have a friend who feels at ease

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered

or driven to its knees

But it's all right, it's all right

We've lived so well so long

Still, when I think of the road

we're traveling on

I wonder what went wrong

I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong

 

And I dreamed I was dying

And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed I was flying

 

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

and sing an American tune

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

That's all I'm trying to get some restat's not been shattered

or driven to its knees

But it's all right, it's all right

We've lived so well so long

Still, when I think of the road

we're traveling on

I wonder what went wrong

I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong

 

And I dreamed I was dying

And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed I was flying

 

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

and sing an American tune

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

That's all I'm trying to get some rest

Weigh heavy on the heart

I am lost

And led only by the stars

 

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon throne

 

Breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

Breathe in, breathe out

And let it in

 

Plants awoke and they slowly grow

Beneath the skin

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

 

The air is silk

Shadows form a grin

If I lose control

I feed the beast within

 

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon throne

 

Breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

Breathe in, breathe out

And let it in

 

Plants awoke and they slowly grow

Beneath the skin

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

 

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon throne

 

If I could only let go

"Turn The Page" - Rush

 

Nothing can survive in a vacuum

No one can exist all alone

We pretend things only happen to strangers

We've all got problems of our own

 

It's enough to learn to share our pleasures

We can't soothe pain with sympathy

All that we can do is be reminded

We shake our heads at the tragedy

 

Every day we're standing in a time capsule

Racing down a river from the past

Every day we're standing in a wind tunnel

Facing down the future coming fast

 

It's just the age

It's just a stage

We disengage

We turn the page

 

Looking at the long range forecast

Catching all the names in the news

Checking out the state of the nation

Learning the environmental blues

 

Truth is after all a moving target

Hairs to split, and pieces that don't fit

How can anybody be enlightened

Truth is after all so poorly lit

 

Every day we're standing in a time capsule

Racing down a river from the past

It's just the age

It's just a stage

We disengage

We turn the page

 

Every day we're standing in a wind tunnel

Facing down the future coming fast

It's just a stage

We disengage

We turn the page
