ABOVE IT ALL

SESAME STREET SONG

* Above it all

I love to fly

Above it all

There in the sky

The world's below

Above was I

I was above it all!

Below, some folks left in a house

Below those folks crept a mouse

Below the mouse a beetle sat

Below was not where I was at

* repeat

Below, some dudes went for a sail

Below those dudes there swam a whale

Below the whale a submarine

Below is not where I was seen

* repeat

And then, one day, I heard a sound

Came from above

Turned me around

To my surprise

I saw a dove!

I was below

He was above!

Above the dove

Clouds were in flight

Above the clouds

Sun shining bright

I asked the dove

"Is something wrong?"

"Oh, no," he said

"Just change your song."

Above it all

I love to fly

Below it, too

There in the sky

Above me now

Below am I

Above, below it all!

(Above, below it all!)

At last I know it all!

Above, below it all!

ELLIE MY LOVE

RAY CHARLES

There were times I left your heart in pain

Time again I've turned and walked away

I get to where I'm going just to find

Won't be happy in this world

If you're not by my side

Ellie, my love so sweet

*My heart told me to break away

Now I'm out here far away

Wish that I could hold you in the night

Then I'd wake up to a morning

That is warm and bright

Ellie, my love so sweet

** Smile for me, won't you, baby

Forever you'll be on my mind

Drink with me won't you baby

We're gonna make it right this time

There's no one else like you

Anything you want, I'll do

Ellie, my love so sweet

Ellie, my love so sweet

* Repeat

** Repeat

E-MAIL ME!

PAULA TERRY

They say long distance love can never stand a chance

I can prove them wrong

Our love keeps growing stronger each and every day

Through our loving e-mail

I'm waiting for your e-mail

It's a quarter past three

Oh baby where's your loving e-mail

To bring you closer to me

E-mail me and then I'll know you're still mine

Still mine all the time feels so fine

E-mail me to bring you here by my side

All the night feeling right

I remember your sweet touch

From all those loving words, you e-mail to me

Nobody in this world could love me

Like you do - so pure and true

I've got to have your e-mail, it means so much to me

Please remember to e-mail,

And prove that you love me

E-mail me to bring your real love to me

Then I'll know you're still mine all the time,

E-mail me and express all the love that you

Feel in your heart tonight

E-mail me and tell me that you love me,

Only me, meant to be, must be right,

E-mail me to bring us together with

Stars and the sweet moonlight!

E-mail me and then I can sleep tonight

Dream of you here with me kissing me

E-mail me and I'll fly to you on a magical carpet ride!

EVERY LITTLE NOTE

LENA MARIA

Standing in front of my dishes

So many cups and plates and dirty bowls

Every day the same thing

When evening comes too much to do

Many times I feel this way

Practical things take my joy away

But then I think of something

That I’m grateful for

*Every little note and melody

Bring a lot of happiness to me

How can I express my thankfulness

For the music that You’ve given to me

Every little note and melody

Bring a lot of happiness to me

How can I express my thankfulness

For the music that You’ve given to me

Sitting alone in my little car

Moving slowly in the traffic jam

Thinking about one thing my friend said

That cut me deep down in my heart

Sometimes it happens I feel this way

Just a small world takes my joy away

But then I think of something

That I’m grateful for

*Repeat

The Author of all music rejoices

When I give Him songs of praise right from my heart

*Repeat twice

FROM A DISTANCE

BETTE MIDLER

From a distance, the world looks blue and green

And the snow-capped mountains white

From a distance the ocean meets the stream

And the eagle takes to flight

From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace

It's the voice of every man

From a distance, we all have enough

And no one is in need

There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases

No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments

Marching in a common band

Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace

They're the songs of every man

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance

From a distance, you look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance I just cannot comprehend

What all this fighting is for

From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves

It's the heart of every man

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves

This is the song of every man

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance

HEAL THE WORLD

MICHAEL JACKSON

There's a place in your heart, and I know that it is love

And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow

And if you really try, you'll find there's no need to cry

In this place you'll feel, there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there if you care enough for the living

Make a little space, make a better place

* Heal the world make it a better place

For you and for me and the entire human race

There are people dying if you care enough for the living

Make a better place for you and for me

If you want to know why, there's a love that cannot lie

Love is strong, it only cares for joyful giving

If we try we shall see in this bliss, we cannot feel fear or dread

We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always love's enough for us growing

Make a better world, make a better world

*Repeat

And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face

And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace

Then why do we keep strangling life wound this earth crucify it's soul

Though it's plain to see this world is heavenly be God's glow

We could fly so high let our spirits never die

In my heart I feel you are all my brothers create a world with no fear

Together we'll cry happy tears see the nations turn

Their swords into plowshares

We could really get there if you cared enough for the living

Make a little space, to make a better place

*Repeat

HERO

MARIAH CAREY

There's a hero

If you look inside your heart

You don't have to be afraid

Of what you are

There's an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away

*And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

It's a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand

For you to hold

You can find love

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear

*repeat

Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But don't let anyone

Tear them away

Hold on, there will be tomorrow

In time you'll find the way

*repeat

I DON’T WANT TO LIVE ON THE MOON

ERNIE AND AARON NEVILLE

(SESAME STREET)

Well, I'd like to visit the moon

On a rocket ship high in the air

Yes, I'd like to visit the moon

But I don't think I'd like to live there

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love

So although I might like it for one afternoon

I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea

I could meet all the fish everywhere

Yes, I'd travel under the sea

But I don't think I'd like to live there

I might stay for a day there if I had my wish

But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish

And an oyster and clam aren't real family

So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar

Go back in time and meet a dinosaur

There's so many strange places I'd like to be

But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon

Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then

I will make a wish on a star

And I'll wish I was home once again

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love

So although I may go I'll be coming home soon

'Cause I don't want to live on the moon

No, I don't want to live on the moon

I’D WISH FOR WINGS

DAVID L KING

If I could make a wish

One wish that would come true

My voice would reach the sky

“Please give me wings to fly”

From these shoulders of mine

Like doves up in the trees

Wings of the purest white

To shine in brightest light

*And I’d look up to the skies

Past the clouds that sit on high

And I’ll spread my wings to fly

Fly from sadness and from fears

Into blue skies without tears

If I’d be granted just one wish

I’d wish for wings

To be famous and rich

A home just like a palace

Are things I do not need

Just two wings that can set me free

Even since I was a child

I’ve dreamt of just one thing

And still I dream the same

And still I’ll dream the same again

*Repeat

I'M GONNA KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR

EDDIE HODGES

I'm gonna knock on your door,

Ring on your bell,

Tap on your window too,

If you don't come out tonight,

When the moon is bright,

I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do.

I'm gonna knock on your door,

Call out your name,

Wake up the town you'll see.

I'm gonna hoo-hooting howl,

Like a love-sick clown,

Until you say you're gonna come out with me.

*Hey little girl, the single town in asleep,

Let's count kisses 'stead of counting sheep,

How, how can I hold you near

With you up there and me down hear?

I'm gonna knock on your door,

Ring on your bell,

Tap on your window too,

If you don't come out tonight,

When the moon is bright,

I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do.

*Repeat

I'm gonna knock and ring and tap

And knock and ring and tap

And knock and ring and tap

And knock and ring until you do.

JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go, laughing all the way

Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

JUST AROUND THE HILL

SASH!

What if the world was out of trouble

What if the world was out of pain

Would it be a world that's worth living in

Without anything

That's worth a sin

What if the world was out of hope

Would you find a place where you belong

You said to yourself

That you'd never make it that far

And the mountains too high

The answer is

*Just around the hill

Just around the hill

Take a look from the other side

Suddenly you see

There are many ways

Don't go astray, just walk around

Walk around that hill

What if the world was out of love

And all that we do don't mean a thing

You take a chance

No suffering

No suffering for anything

You're risking yourself

Do you really want it that way?

The mountains too high

The answer is

*Repeat

Just around the hill

Take a look from the other side

Suddenly you'll see

There are many ways

To go astray

Just walk around, walk around that hill

LAST CHRISTMAS

WHAM!

*Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

*repeat

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance

But you still catch my eye

Tell me baby

Do you recognize me?

Well it's been a year

It doesn't surprise me

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you"

I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

*repeat twice

A crowded room

Friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you

And your soul of ice

My god I thought you were

Someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

*repeat twice

MY HEART WILL GO ON

CELINE DION

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

*Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to

In my life we'll always go on

*Repeat

You're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

PART OF YOUR WORLD

LITTLE MARMAID

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you'd think

(Sure) she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

(You want thingamabobs? I got twenty)

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see

Wanna see 'em dancing

Walking around on those

(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh ? feet

Flipping your fins you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Strolling along down a -

(What's that word again?) street

Up where they walk

Up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wandering free

Wish I could be

Part of that world

What would I give

If I could live

Outta these waters?

What would I pay

To spend a day

Warm on the sand?

Betcha on land

They understand

Bet they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women

Sick of swimming

Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions

And get some answers

What's a fire and why does it

(What's the word?) burn?

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love

Love to explore that shore above?

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world

WE ARE THE WORLD

There comes a time

When we head a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

And it's time to lend a hand to life

The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere will soon make a change

We're all a part of God's great big family

And the truth, you know, love is all we need

*We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There’s a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Send them your heart

So they'll know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stone to bread

And so we all must lend a helping hand

*Repeat

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe there's no way we can fall

Let us realize that a change can only come

When we stand together as one

*Repeat

WHEN YOU GROW UP

SESAME STREET SONG

The deep sea diver says, “This is the place to be

Swimming with the fishes here under the sea!”

Whoa - oooo

Would you like to be a deep sea diver

And the taxi driver says, “Come for a ride
