I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

 


 

Ngayon Pa Lang Tagumpay Ka Na (Duet with Cris Villonco)
Ryan Cayabyab

Cris:
Lagi kitang sinusubaybayan
Nananaginip na balang araw ay maging katulad mo
Magbigay ng dangal sa bayan ko at sigla sa buong mundo
Ipagkakapuri ng magulang ko

Lea:
Oh, minsan ako'y nangarap tulad mo
Kaypalad ko't maagang nabatid ang totoo
Dapat lang magtiwala ng lubos sa sarili't husay mo
Ibigay lahat ng makakaya mo

At pagmasdan, makakamit lahat ng inaasam
Unti-unti maaabot ang mga pangarap mo
Kung nais pa'y lumipad sa rurok ng iyong isipan
Ibigay lang ang lahat ng makakaya mo
Kahit hindi mo pa panahon
Ngayon pa lang tagumpay ka na

Cris:
Dapat lang magtiwala ng lubos

Lea: 
Sa sarili't husay mo

Both:
Ibigay lahat ng makakaya mo

Cris: 
At pagmasdan makakamit lahat ng inaasam
Unti-unti maaabot ang mga pangarap mo
Kung nais pa'y lumipad sa rurok ng iyong isipan
Ibigay lang ang lahat ng makakaya mo
Kahit hindi mo pa panahon
Ngayon pa lang...

Lea:
Kahit hindi mo pa panahon
Ngayon pa lang

Both:
Kahit hindi mo pa panahon
Ngayon pa lang tagumpay ka na
Tagumpay ka!

I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
R. Cook/R. Greenway/B. Backer/B. Davis

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

Chorus:
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once
(Let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
(That's the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(Let the whole wide world keep singing)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

(Repeat 1st stanza and Chorus)

Put your hand in my hand
Let's begin today
Put your hand in my hand
Help me find a way

(Repeat Chorus til fade)

Rainbow Connection
P. Williams/ K.Asher

Why are there so many 
Songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side
Rainbows have visions 
And only illusions
Rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told
And some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who says that ev'ry wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on a morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star-gazing?
And what do you think we might see
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Coda:
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Sing
Raposo

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing out happy, not sad

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry if it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

La la la la la La la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Chorus:
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry if it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
(Just sing, sing a song)
Just sing, sing a song

La la la la la La la la la la la
La la la la la la la

La la la la la La la la la la la
La la la la la la la (to fade)

Chiquitita
B. Andersson/ B. Ulvaeus

Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh, so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you're broken and fed up
I hope we can patch it up together

Refrain:
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars, they're leavin'
You'll be dancin' once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita, you and I cried
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more, like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin' down
And your love's turned lonely and dreadful
All is gone and it seems too hard forever

Chiquitita tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
All I see that you're, oh so sad, so quiet

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
Try once more, like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

Happiness (Duet with Gerard Salonga)
B. Anderson Jr.

Lea:
You know some kids ask us what happiness really is.
Well, to me happiness is a hamburger, going to the movies, new clothes.
Well, what's your happiness, Gerard?

Gerard:
My happiness is a hotdog sandwich, new rubber shoes, new t-shirts,
new jeans and also my favorite part of happiness is LOVE.

Lea:
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand

Gerard:
Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again

Lea:
Happiness is morning and evening

Gerard:
Daytime and nighttime, too

Both:
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Gerard:
Happiness is having a sister

Lea:
Sharing a sandwich

Both:
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Sa Ugoy Ng Duyan
L. San Pedro/ L. Celerio

Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan

Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan

Refrain:
Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan

Sana'y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan

Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala, ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan

Nais kong matulog sa dating duyan ko, Inay
Oh! Inay

Thank You For The Music
B. Andersson/ B. Ulvaeus

I'm nothing special
In fact, I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke
You probably heard it before

But I have a talent
A wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens
When I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud

All I want is to sing it loud

Refrain:
So, I say, thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be without a song or dance
What are we
So, I say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
Uhmmm...she says I began to sing long before I could talk
But, I often wonder how did it all start
To find that there's nothin' can capture a heart
Like a memory can
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

(Repeat Refrain)

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I want to sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance

Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who could live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be without a song or dance
What are we
So, I say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me

So, I say, thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I Am But A Small Voice
R. Whittaker/O. Batnag

Ako'y munting tinig
May munting pangarap
Samyo ng bulaklak
Sa hanging malinis

May ngiti sa araw
At kung umuulan
Makapagtampisaw
Malayang daigdig
Ng kawalang malay

I am but a small voice
I am but a small dream
The fragrance of a flow'r
In the unpolluted air

I am but a small voice
I am but a small dream
To smile upon the sun
Be free to dance and sing
Be free to sing my song to ev'ryone

Chorus:
Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one
Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one

We have one hope
We have one dream
And with one voice
We sing...

Coda:
Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

(Instrumental)

I am but a small voice
I am but a small dream
To smile upon the sun
Be free to dance and sing
Be free to sing my song to ev'ryone

Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one
Come young citizens of the world
We are one, we are one

We have one hope
We have one dream
And with one voice
We sing, we sing

Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

Peace, prosperity
And love for all mankind

Tomorrow
C. Strousse/M. Charmin

The sun will come out, tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow, there'll be sun
Jus' thinkin' about, tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck with the day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say, ohhh

The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...

Chorus:
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day away

(Instrumental)

The sun will come out, tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...

(Repeat Chorus)

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya, tomorrow
You're always a day a--way!

Someone's Waiting For You
S. Fain/Connors-Robbins

Be brave little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you

Don't cry little one
There'll be a smile where a frown used to be
You'll be part of a love that you see
Someone's waiting for you

Refrain:
Always keep a little pray'r in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon, there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith little one
'Til your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave little one
Someone's waiting to love you

Always keep a little pray'r in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon, there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith little one
 'Til your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave little one
Someone's waiting to love you

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
H. Arlen/ E.Y. Harburgh

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And there dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I wish upon a star
And dream of clouds that are so far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I

(Instrumental)

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I

If happy little blue birds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I

When You Wish Upon A Star
N. Washington/L. Harling

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in a dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Refrain:
Faith is kind
He brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
A secret longing

Like a boat out on the blue
Faith steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

(Repeat Refrain and last stanza)

Mama
B. Cherubini/ H. Barlow/ P. Brito/Brixio

Mama, I miss the days when you were here beside me
Mama, those happy days when you were here to guide me
Safe in the flow of your love
Sent from the heavens above
No one can ever replace
The warmth of your tender embrace

Refrain:
Oh, mama
Until the days that we're together once more
I live in this memory
Until the days that we're together once more

(Instrumental)

Safe in the flow of your love
Sent from the heavens above
No one can ever replace
The warmth of your tender embrace

(Repeat Refrain)

Oh, mama
Once more...

The Greatest Love Of All
L. Creed/M. Masser

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride
To make it easier
Let the children's laughter
Remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my need
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love of all

(Repeat 1st stanza and Chorus)

And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Top Of The World
R Carpenter/ J. Bettis

Such a feeling's coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Ev'rything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing
To heaven that I've seen

Chorus:
I'm on the top of the world lookin'
Down on creation and the only explanation
I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees
And the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through
I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be
Just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
