L-O-V-E

Music & Lyrics: Bert Kaempfert and Milt Gabler

L is for the way you look at me

O is for the only one I see

V is very, very extraordinary

E is even more than anyone that you adore and

Love is all that I can give to you

Love is more than just a game for two

Two in love can make it

Take my heart but please don't break it

Love was made for me and you

(Repeat)

Do Re Mi

Music: Richard Rodgers
Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein II

[sung by Union Chapel Singers]

Michelle

Music & Lyrics: John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Michelle, ma belle

These are words that go together well

My Michelle

Michelle, ma belle

Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble

Tres bien ensemble

I love you, I love you, I love you

That's all I want to say

Until I find a way

I will say the only words I know that you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle

Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble

Tres bien ensemble

I need to, I need to, I need to

I need to make you see

Oh, what you mean to me

Until I do, I'm hoping you will know what I mean

I love you

I want you, I want you, I want you

I think you know by now

I'll get to you somehow

Until I do, I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle

Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble

Tres bien ensemble

And I will say the only words I know that you'll understand

My Michelle

You are my sunshine

Music & Lyrics: Jimmie Davis, Charles Mitchell

CHORUS

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are gray

You'll never know, dear

How much I love you

Please don't take

My sunshine away

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 I cried

> CHORUS

Seasons of Love

Music and Lyrics: Jonathan Larson

[sung by Union Chapel Singers]

Here comes the Sun

Music and Lyrics: George Harrison (Beatles)

CHORUS

Here comes the sun (doo doo…)

Here comes the sun

And I say it's alright

Little darling, it's been a long, 

cold, lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years

 since it's been here 

> CHORUS 

Little darling, the smile's 

returning to their faces,

Little darling, it seems like 

years since it's been here

> CHORUS 

Here comes the sun (doo doo…)

Here comes the sun

And I say  it's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes (x2) 

Little darling, I feel that ice

 is slowly melting,

Little darling, it seems like 

years since it's been clear

> CHORUS 

Here comes the sun

Here comes the sun

And I say it's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes        (x2)

Here comes the sun.

All you need is Love

Music and Lyrics: John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

There's nothing you can do 

   that can't be done

Nothing you can sing 

   that can't be sung

Nothing you can say, but you

    can learn how to play the game

It's easy

Nothing you can make 

   that can't be made

No one you can save

    that can't be saved

Nothing you can do, but you 

   can learn how to be you in time

It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

There's nothing you can 

   know that isn't known

Nothing you can see 

   that isn't shown

There's nowhere you can be 

   that isn't where you're meant to be

It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

What a wonderful world

Music & Lyrics: Bob Thiele (as George Douglas) and George David Weiss

I see trees of green

Red roses too

I see them bloom

For me and you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue

And clouds of white

The bright blessed day

The dark sacred night

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow

So pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces

Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands

Saying how do you do

They're really saying

I love you

I hear babies cry

I watch them grow

They'll learn much more

Than I'll ever know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Can’t help falling in love

Music and Lyrics: Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore & George David Weiss

[sung by Union Chapel Singers]

Can you feel the Love tonight

Music: Elton John     
Lyrics: Tim Rice

There's a calm surrender

To the rush of day

When the heat of a rolling wind

Can be turned away

An enchanted moment

And it sees me through

It's enough for this restless warrior

Just to be with you

CHORUS

And can you feel the love tonight ?

It is where we   are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer

That we   got this far

And can you feel the love tonight ?

How it's laid to rest ?

It's enough to make kings and  vagabonds

Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone

If they only learn

That the twisting kaleidoscope

Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason

To the wild outdoors

When the heart of this star-crossed voyager

Beats in time with yours

> CHORUS

La vie en Rose

Music: Louiguy
Lyrics: Édith Piaf (English: Mack David)

Hold me close and hold me fast

The magic spell you cast

This is "La vie en rose"

When you kiss me, heaven sighs

And though I close my eyes

I see "La vie en rose"

When you press me to your heart

I'm in a world apart

A world where roses bloom

And when you speak, angels sing from above

Everyday words seem to turn into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me

And life will always be

"La vie en rose"

Flying

Music & Lyrics: Alan Simmons

[sung by Union Chapel Singers]

Look at the birds see how they fly
Borne on the wind and gently floating

Spreading their wings against the sky

Gracefully glide, into the night

Fly into the clouds suspended high

Like a balloon I gently swing and sway. 

When you’re flying up in an aeroplane

All the world looks small. 

See tiny boats go sailing from tiny shores. 

I like the flowers

Traditional

I like the flowers, I like the daffodils

I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills, 

I like the fireplace when the lights are low

Dum dee da dee, dum dee da dee (2x)

Love me tender

Music: George R. Poulton
Lyrics: Ken Darby (uncredited, credited to "Elvis Presley & Vera Matson")

[sung by Union Chapel Singers]

You’ve got a friend

Music & Lyrics: Carole King

When you're down and troubled

And you need some lovin' care

And nothin', nothin' is goin' right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night

CHORUS

You just call out my name

And you know, wherever I am

I'll come runnin'

To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend

If the sky above you

Grows dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together

And call my name out loud

Soon you'll hear me knockin' at your door

CHORUS

You just call out my name

And you know, wherever I am

I'll come runnin'

To see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold?

They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you

And take your soul if you let them

Oh, but don't you let them

> CHORUS

You've got a friend

You've got a friend

Lyrics: Text adapted from original

My favourite things

Music: Richard Rodgers
Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein II

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favourite things

Cream-coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver-white winters that melt into springs

These are a few of my favourite things

When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don't feel so bad

(repeat)

Something stupid

Music & Lyrics: C. Carson Parks

I know I stand in line

Until you think you have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go someplace to dance

I know that there's a chance

You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a

    quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes

You still despise the same old lines

You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you

For me it's true

And never seemed so right before

I practise every day to find some clever

Lines to say

To make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait until the evening

Gets late

And I'm alone with you

The time is right

Your perfume fills my head

The stars get red

And oh the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like I love you

I love you

I love you…

Can't Take My Eyes off You

Music & Lyrics: Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like Heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last, love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

Pardon the way that I stare

There's nothin' else to compare

The sight of you leaves me weak

There are no words left to speak

But if you feel like I feel

Please let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

CHORUS

I love you, baby

And if it's quite alright

I need you, baby

To warm the lonely night

I love you, baby

Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby

Don't bring me down, I pray

Oh, pretty baby

Now that I've found you, stay

And let me love you, baby

Let me love you

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like Heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

At long last, love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

> CHORUS
