GREAT DAY - THE GETAWAY
(Terry Francis Evans/Barbara Love)
Ain't it a great day (Huh...I don't know...)
Could it be better? (I don't know babe...)
I got an idea
Let's go to the park
And we'll ride on a merry-go-round
Ain't it a great day (Huh...I don't know...)
Could it be better? (I don't know babe...)
Couldn't we just sit
Around the house here
And have us a little drink or two
CHORUS:
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Spend some time with you
We're doin' just what comes naturally
Ain't it a great day (Huh...I don't know...)
Could it be better?
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I don't know)
Whatever we do dear
There's one thing that's for sure
That nothing could be better
Than just being together
CHORUS:
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Spend some time with you
We're doin' just what comes naturally
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Spend some time with you
We're doin' just what comes naturally
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day...
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day
Gotta get away
Gonna have a groovy day

TRYING TO SAY GOODBYE
(Neil Sedaka/Philip Cody)
Many's the time I've been moved or inclined to write
Maybe a song about love
Taking the words as they come to my mind
And I send them along with my love
Just me and a melody
Sailing peacefully along
Always right with the world and me
Until love went wrong
CHORUS:
Just yesterday
I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Casually dressed,
I'm surviving I guess
I guess only the time will tell
It don't really matter where I go next
Just as long as it turns out well
Slow feet on a moving street
And the folks I meet all note (they all note)
I ain't half as happy (half as happy) as I was a week ago
CHORUS:
Just yesterday
I heard somebody say I'd forget you
If I could but I can't so I won't even try
If I had my way I'd forget you today in a minute
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh, yes
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye
Oh, right
But it's easier said than trying to say goodbye

AFRAID FOR LOVE TO FADE
(Jose Mari Chan)
My head's in a jam
Can't take you off my mind
From the time we met
I've been beset by thoughts of you
And the more that I ignore this feeling
The more I find myself believing
That I just have to see you again
CHORUS:
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But I know that I am much too shy to let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true
Like a child again
I'm at a loss for words
How does one define a crush combined with longing
Longing to possess you oh so dearly
I'm obsessed with you completely
I'll go mad if I can't have you
CHORUS:
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go (no I never can't let go)
But I know that I am much too shy to let you know (I wanna let you know)
Afraid that I might say the wrong words and displease you
Afraid for love to fade before it can come true
Ooh...yeah...
I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go (no I'll never let you go)
Let me say the things and say the words to let you know (gonna let you know)
I would rather hear the awkward words than lose you
Or for love to fade before it can come true
(Afraid for love before it can come true)
Afraid for love before it can come true
My head's in a jam
Can't take you off my mind...

LOVE CONQUERS ALL
(Charles Fox/Paul Williams)
Love conquers all
So the story is true
True love doesn't get old
It gets stronger
Love conquers all
That's not hard to believe
If you find it naive
You'll believe it when you try
Take an empty heart
Fill it up with love
Offer it to someone new
When they think it's gone
Have them pass it on
They will have as much as you
Love is what you make it
How you give and take it
First time out just fake it
You don't have to be taught
Love conquers all
Makes the best of the worst
Nice guys coming in first
All around us
Love conquers all
And the love's not easy to hide
When you let it outside
It will bounce right back to you
Take an empty heart
Fill it up with love
Offer it to someone new
When they think it's gone
Have them pass it on
They will have as much as you
Love is what you make it
How you give and take it
First time out just fake it
You don't have to be taught
Love conquers all
Be insightful and receive
Take as much as you need
You deserve it (you deserve it baby)
Love conquers all
Could the West be won without love?
Love was there as a wagon
Look what happened to Dragon
Yes love can handle the beast
Wide and far
Love conquers all (All...)
Love conquers all (all...)
Love conquers all (all...)
Love conquers all (all...)
(All...all...all..all...all)
Conquers all

YOU CHANGED MY LIFE IN A MOMENT
(Jean B. McCracken)
The nights the sky was filled with clouds
My worried mind was filled with fear
I couldn't count all the lonely hours
Spent with memories and tears
I never thought I would see the day
When I could throw all my sorrow away
But then you came and you showed me the way
You have made all those times disappear
CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone (is gone...is gone...is gone...)
I never thought that I could change
Could change so much in so many ways
I'm still surprised when I look in my mirror
To see that I still look the same
CHORUS:
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone
(You changed my life in a moment)
You changed my life
(And I'll never be the same again)
I'll never be the same
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With the touch of your hand in a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone
(You changed my life in a moment)
Gone...gone..
In a moment in time
All my sorrow is gone...

I'D RATHER LEAVE WHILE I'M IN LOVE
(Peter Allen/Carol Bayer Sager)
I'd rather leave while I'm in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I are never gonna end
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody's heart gets broken
Usually it's mine
I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again
You and I can say goodbye
So if you wake and find me gone
Oh baby carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine
Somebody's heart gets broken
Usually it's mine
I don't want to take the chance of being hurt again
You and I can say goodbye
So if you wake and find me gone
Oh baby carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
(It's best to leave while I'm in love
While I still believe
You see I need my fantasy...)
It's best to leave while I'm in love
It's best to leave while I'm in love

A SAMBA SONG
(Bong Penera)
Kung gusto kong kumanta
At gusto ko ring sumayaw
Ako'y sumisipol saka malalaman
Ako pala'y payasong walang kasayaw
Bakit tayo ganito
Mga puso nati'y mailap
Lumapit ka giliw at tayo'y mag-samba
Kahit minsan man lamang
Kay tamis ng musika
Hanggang sa pagsapit ng umaga
Basta't ang samba'y sayaw
Tayo'y magsasama muli
Walang hahadlang
Wala ring pipigil maski sino man
Narito na ang awit
At narito na ang sayaw
Huwag mong biguin sinta
Hayaan malasin mo na tayo'y mag-samba
When there's a time for our song
And there's a time for our dance
I am a tune
And then I just find myself dancing the samba
With no one but me
This is how we both go on
Together and yet we're so far
Won't you please come with me
And samba through life with me
Forget all your troubles
We'll make such sweet music
Until the night is done
Just dance the samba with me
We'll be together again
Say you love me and I'll say I love you too
This is the time for that song
And this is the time for that dance
I don't feel alone because I know that you'll stay with me
To samba through life with me
(Instrumental)

Say you love me and I'll say I love you too

THE WAY WE PLANNED IT
(George Stanley Clinton Jr.)
Somewhere along the way
We ran out of things to say
Now the silence of our days is more
At some point along the line
All the dreams we thought we'd find
We somehow left behind
Now they're gone
I don't blame you
You don't blame me
So is this the way it's gonna be
Hey!
CHORUS:
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
What makes our love grow old?
What makes our heart grow cold?
Sometimes I look at you
And recall the joy we knew
When all we had to do was let love grow
And somehow it saddens me
All those lonely memories
Just remind me of what we never know
I don't blame you
You don't blame me
So is this the way it's gonna be
Hey!
CHORUS:
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
Hey!
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
What makes our love grow old?
What makes our heart grow cold?
Somewhere along the way
We may look back on today
And be sorry for the love
We've thrown away
CHORUS:
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
Hey! Hey!
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
Ooh...Hey! Hey!
That's not the way we planned it
That's not the way we planned our love
I just don't understand it at all
What makes our love grow old?
What makes our heart grow cold?

WHERE IS IT I BELONG
(Elaine Brown/Samuel F. Brown III/Ronald D. Brown)
We met one summer's day
We smiled and said our names
The way two people often do
He was Capricorn
And the love was born
Although he had a wedding vow
He loved me anyhow
The way two people often do
In a special style
We make love a while
And then he'd go
And I'd know
CHORUS:
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
And so at work each day
To friends I'd have to say
Our love would last forevermore
They don't know his name
How can I explain?
When they don't know
Like I know
CHORUS:
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
I loved so willingly
Though he is killing me
With love that never will be mine (never be mine)
"I love you", he'll say (is that he'll say?)
"In a special way" (in a special way)
Then he goes home (he goes home)
And I know
CHORUS:
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there
Where is it I belong? (We met one summer's day)
He belongs there
Where is it I belong? (We smiled and said our names)
He belongs there
Where is it I belong?
He belongs there

I GOT CAUGHT DANCING AGAIN
(Waldo T. Holmes)
You were just within my reach
And I got caught dancing again
You were right next to my heart
And I got caught dancing again
Why did you look my way
It was just another dance
Why did you turn away
Can I have a second chance
I thought when you walked over my
Way the world was so good (so good) again
But you passed me by, sad (sad) was I
'Cause you walked out of my reach, out of my heart
Out of my reach, out of my heart
And I was left with a life that was lonely from the start
Why did you look my way
It was just another dance
Why did you turn away
Hoo, baby, can I have a second chance
I thought when you walked over my
Way the world was so good (so good) again
And you caught my eyes, glad was I (glad was I)
'Cause you walked into my arms, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart
Into my heart, into my heart...

CITY OF ANGELS
(Warren "Pete" Moore/William "Billy" L. Griffin Jr.)
Walking your seashores
And staring into space
Dreaming of your people
That possess your charm and grace
CHORUS:
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me
City of Angels
You have falls in your land
People say you'll crumble
And your beauty will no longer stand
CHORUS:
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me
(Oh please don't go...
Will you disappear from the Earth
Just like Atlantis did)
Each and every night I say a prayer
(For heaven to forbid)
I could never live without you
My salvation I would give to you
If you stay (if you stay)
Don't go away (please don't go away)
Your soft breeze through the palm trees
Whisper longing goodbyes
Vibrations say you're fading
As the tears nestle in my eyes
CHORUS:
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me
Oh I love you L.A. (City of Angels)
Please don't go away (please don't go away)
Will you fall into the sea (will you fall into the sea)
And forsake me (please don't go away)
City of Angels...
City of Angels...
City of Angels...
Please don't go away...

WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN
(Jimmy Webb)
Boy, I heard you're getting married
Heard you're getting married
This time you're really sure
And this is the end
They say you really mean it
This girl's the one who makes you feel
So safe, so sane and so secure and
Baby, if she loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you
But it's the worst that could happen
Worst that could happen
The worst that could happen
Boy, I'll never get married
I'll never get married
You know that's not my scene
But a boy like you (just like you)
Needs to be married
I've known all along you couldn't live
Forever in between and...
Baby, if she loves you more than me
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you (maybe)
But it's the worst that could happen
Boy, you shouldn't really blame me
For having a dream of my own (my own dream)
Boy, you know I can't really blame you
A man like you needs a house and a home
Baby
If you love her
Maybe it's the best thing
Maybe it's the best thing for you (maybe)
But it's the worst that could happen (worst that could happen)
To me
The worst that could happen (the worst to me)
The worst that could happen (the worst to me)
The worst that could happen...

EPILOGUE: THANK YOU FOR THE OLD SONGS
RecycleDeluxe Theme
(Moy Ortiz/Edith M. Gallardo)
Make me sing again
Make me feel the way I felt before
Bring back yesterday
It was so much easier to work it out
When things went wrong
So maybe it's time for us to listen to those songs
CHORUS:
Thank you for the old songs
They bring back all the mem'ries
They were the songs we sang through all those years
And thank you for the old songs
I'll sing them all again
I remember the old songs (I remember the old songs)
I remember the old songs (I remember the old songs)
Every now and then
