Faith of the Heart (Where My Heart Will Take Me) - Russell Watson

It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near

And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna hold me back

Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend nor break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart

It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I finally have my day
And I will see my dreams come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No there not gonna change my mind

Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend nor break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
Faith of the heart

I've known a wind so cold and seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain
But I'll be fine

Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend nor break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith


I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend nor break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith
I've got faith
Faith of the heart

It's been a long road

New World In the Morning - Roger Whittaker

Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning, so they say
I myself don't talk about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning that's today.

And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on
And I don't know why I have to make a song
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long.

I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty
I met that man when he was eighty one
He said too many folks just stand and wait until the morning.
Don't they know tomorrow never comes.

And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on
And when he smiled his eyes would twinkle up in fun
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning never comes.

And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on.
And I don't know why I have to make a song
Everybody talks about a new world in the morning
New world in the morning takes so long.

The Rose - Mario Frangoulis

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

I Wouldn't Change A Thing - Matt Dusk

Here I go, once again,
Will I find the same end, or will I get it right?
Will I change? Will i make all the
Same old mistakes? or will I see the light?

Your friends said that we
Would never last that long.
Well I guess your friends
Were wrong.

We’ll still love kissin’, we’ll still refuse to listen,
This got to be the worlds longest fling!
We’re still hangin’ in there
So very glad we’ve been there,
Even if I could,
I wouldn’t change a thing!

Maybe we’ll have a fight,
That’ll mess up the whole night.
It can even last for days.
But they’re few and they’re far,
In between the next star.
Making up is always great

Yes Its true, on paper
we don’t look that strong,
well I guess the
paper’s wrong!

We’ll still love kissin’, we’ll still refuse to listen,
This got to be the worlds longest fling!
We’re still hangin’ in there
So very glad we’ve been there,
Even if I could,
I wouldn’t change a thing!

Even when you steal the covers,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
even when I’m at your mothers,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
even when you take me shopping,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
even when you won’t stop talking!

On a side note when I first met you, I never thought I’d get to
share every singe thing with you and now you make me feel brand new!
We’ll still love kissin’, we’ll still refuse to listen,
This got to be the worlds longest fling!
We’re still hangin’ in there
So very glad we’ve been there,
Even if I could,
I wouldn’t change a thing!

We’ll still love kissin’, we’ll still refuse to listen,
This got to be the worlds longest fling!
We’re still hangin’ in there
So very glad we’ve been there,
Even if I could,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
Even when you steal the covers,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
even when I’m at your mothers,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
even when you take me shopping,
I wouldn’t change a thing!
even when you won’t stop talking!

Even if I could, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Cinderella Beautiful - Peter Cincotti

like april snow blowing around in gramercy park
the two of us were never meant to last

you left your traces and drove away like a circus in town
a three-ring show that comes and goes too fast

the best of friends have been divided by a kiss
if we can't love again
i can always remenisce

cinderella beautiful
this one is for you
we almost made our fairy tale come true
happy ever after was
unavailable
now, two years after midnight
i'm still thinking of those yesterdays
when i was prince charming
and you were cinderella beautiful

you know i don't like christmas
but thanks for the holiday card
i didn't know you moved so far away

the winter months were the usual mess
back here in new york
every day another shade of grey

i'm doing fine
but sometimes every now and then
i miss who i was with you
and i wonder where he went

cinderella beautiful
this one is for you
we almost made our fairy tale come true
happy ever after was
unavailable
now, two years after midnight
i'm still thinking of those yesterdays
when i was prince charming
and you were cinderella beautiful

and i know our time has come and gone away
so why do i waste my nights
dreaming of a you and me that can never be again?

happy ever after was
unavailable
now, two years after midnight
i still thinking of those yesterdays
when i was prince charming
and you were cinderella beautiful

Something's Gotta Give- Tony Desare

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist

Somewhere, somehow
Someone's gotta be kissed

So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store
From their vast mysterious sky
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

Fight, fight, fight it with all of your might
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give

Sorry for the Long Break

Hi world. Sorry for the long break between songs/posts. I hope you will forgive. I am going to attempt daily posting again, but I may miss a day or two. I'll try not to make it months again. Thanks.

Send Me a Song- Celtic Woman: Lisa Kelly

Take the wave now and know that you're free,
Turn your back on the land face the sea,
Face the wind now so wild and so strong,
When you think of me,
Wave to me and send me a song.

Don't look back when you reach the new shore,
Don't forget what you're leaving me for,
Don't forget when you're missing me so,
Love must never hold,
Never hold tight but let go.

Oh the nights will be long,
When I'm not in your arms,
But I'll be in your song, That you sing to me, across the sea.
Somehow, someday, you will be far away,
So far from me and maybe one day,
I will follow you,
And all you do,
'Til then, send me a song.

When the sun sets the water on fire,
When the wind swells the sails of your hire,
Let the call of the bird on the wind,
Calm your sadness and loneliness,
And then start to sing to me,
I will sing to you,
If you promise to send me a song.

I walk by the shore and I hear,
Hear your song come so faint,
And so clear,
And I catch it, a breath on the wind,
And I smile and I sing you a song,
I will send you a song...
I will sing you a song,
I will sing to you...
If you promise to send me a song.

Lift the Wings- the Three Irish Tenors

How can the small flowers grow,
If the wild wind blows,
And the cold snow
Is all around.

And where will the frail birds fly,
If their homes on high
Have been torn down
To the ground.

Lift the Wings,
And carry me away from here
And fill the sails
That breaks the line to dawn.
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you,
I'm beside you when I think of you a stoirin gra.

How can a tree stand tall,
if the rain won't fall,
to wash its branches down.

And how can the heart survive,
Can it stay alive?
If its loves denied for long.

Lift the Wings,
And carry me away from here
And fill the sails
That breaks the line to home.
But when I'm miles and miles apart from you,
I'm beside you when I think of you a stoirin,
and I'm with you as I dream of you a stoirin,
and the sun will bring me
near to you a stoirin a gra.

Let's Fall in Love- John Stevens

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it?

Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Why stand in line for it
Love's just begun
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love
In love
In love

The Man Who Can't Be Moved- Straight No Chaser

Going Back to the corner
where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag
I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard,
got your picture in my hand
saying, "if you see this girl
can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money,
they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just
a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense
but what else can I do?
How can I move on
when I'm still in love with you?

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says "son you can't stay here"
I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for
If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if
it rains or snows
If she changes her mind
this is the first place she will go

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
ohhh..
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world
ohhh..

Maybe i'll get famous
as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to
but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
cuase you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

Eee-o 11- Sammy Davis, Jr.

One day I'll have me a chauffeur....
And a block long limousine.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.

Someday I'll have me a penthouse.
Stacks and stacks of folding green.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.

It's all a state of mind.
Whether or not you'll find,
That place down there or heaven.
In the meantime,
Eee-o, Eee-o,
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.

Show me a man without a dream,
And I'll show you a man that's dead.
Real dead.

Once I had me a dream,
But that dream got kicked in the head.
Dream dead.

I nearly had me that chauffeur.
And that block long limousine.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.

I nearly had me that penthouse.
All them stacks of folding green.
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.

Some judge is gonna say,
I'm putting you away,
For four score years plus seven.
In the meantime,
Eee-o-Eleven.
Eee-o-Eleven.

Erin Grá Mo Chrói (Ireland of My Heart)- Cherish the Ladies

Chorus 1:-
Ohh Erin grá mo chrói, you're the dear old land to me
You're the fairest that my eyes did e'er behold
You're the land Saint Patrick blessed
You're the bright star of the west
You're that dear little isle so far away

At the setting of the sun, when my long day's work was done
I rambled down the seashore for a walk
And I being all alone I sat down upon a stone
For to gaze upon the scenes of New York

Chorus 2:-
Oh Erin grá mo chrói, you're the dear old land to me
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen
And if ever I go home, it's from you I never will roam
You're my own native land so far away

With the turf fire burning bright on a cold dark winter's night
And the snow flakes falling gently to the ground
When Saint Patrick's Day has come, my thoughts will carry me home
To that dear little isle so far away.

Chorus 1:-
Oh Erin grá mo chrói, you're the dear old land to me
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen
You're the land Saint Patrick blessed
You're the bright star of the west
You're that dear little isle so far away

On the day that I did part, well it broke my mother's heart
Will I never see my dear ones anymore?
Not until my bones are laid in the cold and silent grave
In my own native land so far away

Chorus 2:-
Oh Erin grá mo chrói, you're the dear old land to me
You're the fairest that my eyes have ever seen
And if ever I go home, it's from you I never will roam
You're my own native land so far away
You're my own native land so far away

They Can't Take That Away From Me- Frank Sinatra

There are many, many crazy things
That will keep me loving you,
And with your permission
May I list a few?

The way you wear your hat.
The way you sip your tea.
The memory of all that -
No, no - they can't take that away from me.

The way your smile just beams.
The way you sing off-key.
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always,
Always keep the memory of:

The way you hold your knife (do-do-do-do do-do).
The way we danced until three.
The way you've changed my life.
No, no - they can't take that away from me.
No, they can't take that away from me.

Heaven Melody- Dr. Joe Arthur

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see.
When I look upon His face,
The One who saved my by His grace.
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the promised land.
What a day, glorious day, that will be.

And the sun's coming up,
In the morning.
Every tear will be gone from my eye.
This ol' place's gonna give way, to glory;
And like an eagle, I'll take to the sky.

In the sweet, by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet, by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

*I don't believe this is an "official song," but the I liked the flow of the choruses. Dr. Arthur was preaching in my church tonight, and he had us sing these choruses at the end of the sermon.

Outside Looking In- Celtic Thunder: Ryan Kelly

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…

When it's late at night,
They blow out the light,
And although they might be sleein'.
If they hear a sound,
I may be around,
And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')

They must be aware,
If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!
Lyin' in their beds,
Running through their heads,
Is one thought-what is he stealin'?

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…

I can hear then tell
I'm a hound of hell,
As they get the smell of danger.
As I'm coming near
I can taste their fear
Of the dark and deadly stranger.

They know who I am
I don't give a damn,
I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter.
So be on your guard
For my calling card,
And be sure, to lock up your daughters.

They keep us outside lookin' in,
My sister and me.
And if we're outside lookin' in,
That's the way it will be.

We're on the outside lookin' in,
But we don't really care.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
'Long as we get our share,
You know that we'll take our share.

We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in.

Skye Boat Song- Celtic Thunder: George Donaldson

Speed Bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing

Onward the sailors cry

Carry the lad that's born to be king

Over the sea to Skye

Though the waves leap, soft shall he sleep
The ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by the weary head

Speed Bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Burned are our homes, exiled in death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet ere the sword, cool in it's sheath
Charlie will come again

Speed Bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Speed Bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
Onward the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Over the sea to Skye

Every Time I fell the Spirit- George Beverly Shea

Ev'ry time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray
Ev'ry time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.

Upon the mountain my Lord spoke
Out of His mouth came fire and smoke
Looked all around me, it looked so fine
Till I asked my Lord if all was mine.

Ev'ry time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray
Ev'ry time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.

Jordan river, is chilly an' cold
It chills the body but not the soul
There ain't but one train, upon this track
It runs to heaven, an' right back.

Ev'ry time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray
Ev'ry time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.

I Hear Music- ???

I hear music, mighty fine music.
The murmur of a morning breeze up there,
The rattle of the milkman on the stair.

Sure that's music, mighty fine music.
The singing of a sparrow in the sky,
The perking of the coffee right near by.

That's my favorite melody;
You, my angel, phoning me.

I hear music, mighty fine music.
And anytime I think my world is wrong,
I get me out of bed and sing this song.

That's my favorite melody;
You, my angel, phoning me.

I hear music, mighty fine music.
And anytime I think my world is wrong,
I get me out of bed and sing this song.

*Heard this on the radio today. Not sure who sang it. There have been many.

Secret Bit of Right from Wrong- Ryan Kelly

I've found a feelin', never felt it before.
She showed me love and what livin' is for.
She came along, I got it wrong,
She showed me what was right,
Now I'm in deeper, want to keep her,
Want her day and night.

'Cause she sings.......
Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo

Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo
Ooooooo...

She's changed my life, before I pissed* it away.
I lived for drinkin'
Now I live for the day.
She's turned me 'round,
In me she found a love I thought was gone.
So she can keep it,
She's my secret bit of right from wrong.

That's why I sing.....
Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo

Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo
Ooooooo...

Oh, perfection
'caused my resurection,

That's why I sing....
Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo

Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo
Ooooooo...

I'll give her love,
The love I know she'll give me.
My book is open,
And I've let her inside to see.
And if she takes then I'll make it be the last she'll need.

Broke my defenses,
Blew my senses,
Helped me to conceive,

So we sing....
Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo

Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo
Ooooooo... Oh, yeah...

Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo
Oh, yeah....

Bah dap bah bah, bah dap doo doo
Ooooooo... Oh, yeah...
