Blackbird
(John Lennon & Paul
McCartney)
Blackbird singing in the
dead of night
Take these broken wings
and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the
dead of night
Take these sunken eyes
and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly Blackbird
fly
Into the light of the
dark black night.
Blackbird fly Blackbird
fly
Into the light of the
dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the
dead of night
Take these broken wings
and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise
You were only waiting
for this moment to arise
Carly Simon - You Can
Close Your Eyes
(James Taylor)
Well the sun is surely
sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must
still be spinning round and I still love you.
So close your eyes, you
can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love
songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song
and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
It won't be long before
another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take
that time away. You can stay as long as you like.
So close your eyes, you
can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love
songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song
and you can sing this song when I'm gone.
Carly Simon
- Devoted to You
(Boudleaux Bryant)
Darling you can count
on me
'Till the sun dries up
the sea
Until then I'll always
be
Devoted to you
I'll be yours 'till endless
time
I'll adore your charms
sublime
Guess by now you know
that I'm
Devoted to you
I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason
to cry
I'd be unhappy if you
were blue
Through the years our
love will grow
Like a river it will
flow
It can't die because
I'm so
Devoted to you

Oh!
Susanna
(Stephen Foster)
I came from Alabama wid
my banjo on my knee,
I'm g'wan to Louisiana
my true love for to see,
It rain'd all night the
day I left, the weather it was dry,
The sun so hot I frose
to death; Susanna, dont you cry.
[Chorus:]
Oh! Susanna, Oh! dont
you cry for me,
I've come from Alabama,
wid my banjo on my knee.
I jumped aboard de telegraph,
and trabbelled down de ribber,
De Lectrie fluid magnified,
and killed five hundred Nigger
De bullgine bust, de
horse run off, I realy thought I'd die;
I shut my eyes to hold
my breath, Susanna, dont you cry.
[Chorus]
I had a dream de odder
night when ebery ting was still;
I thought I saw Susanna,
a coming down de hill.
The buckwheat cake war
in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
Says I'm coming from
de South, Susanna, dont you cry.
[Chorus]
I scon will be in New
Orleans, and den I'll look all round,
And when I find Susanna,
I' fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find
her, dis darkie 'I surely die,
And when I'm dead and
buried, Susanna, dont you cry.
[Chorus]
You Are My Sunshine
Jimmie Davis & Charles
Mitchell)
The other night, dear,
as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I
was mistaken
So I hung my head and
cried
You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine
You make me happy when
skies are grey
You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my
sunshine away
I'll always love you and
make you happy
If you will only say
the same
But if you leave me to
love another
You'll regret it all
someday
You are my sunshine, my
only sunshine
You make me happy when
skies are grey
You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you
Please don't take my
sunshine away
