Leaving On A Jet Plane

Leaving On A Jet Plane
(John Denver)

All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here,
Outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say Good Bye.
But the dawn is breakin', It's early morn`,
The taxi's waiting, blowin' his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you wait for me,
Hold me, like you never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh Babe I hate to go.

So many times, I let you down,
So many times, I played around,
but I tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring.

Refrain

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time, let me kiss you,
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Think about the days to come,
When I won't have you leave alone,
About the day, when I won't have to say,

Refrain

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
(Shirley Bassey)









The first time
Ever I saw your face
I thought the sun
Rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark
And the empty skies
My love
To the dark
And the endless skies

The first time
Ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth
Move in my hand
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there
At my command,
My love
That was there
At my command

The first time
Ever I lay with you
I felt your heart
So close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last
Till the end of time
My love
And would last
Till the end of time

The first time
Ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face

Ditulis oleh Ewan MacColl, 1957 untuk dinyanyikan oleh Peggy Seeger.

Picture Perfect Morning

PICTURE PERFECT MORNING
(Edie Brickell)








I haven’t learned to say goodbye
Hello itself is had enough
It kills to let a good thing die
And I don’t want to see it go bad
Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city lights are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying
I won’t let myself look at you
And see you like I really do
It’ s hard to believe that you’re really here
So I just pretend that you’re not there
Picture perfect morning
Just before the dawn
And city light are dying
Sing in the cathedral
Face in the stained glass is crying
And when my plane flew through the rain
It shook the wings and people screamed
But I was no sure that I’d see you again
I was not afraid of anything

Pilgrim

PILGRIM
(Enya)

Pilgrim, how you journey
on the road you chose
to find out where the winds die
and where the stories go.
All days come from one day
that must you must know,
you cannot change what’s over
but only where you go.

One way leads to diamonds,
one way leads to gold,
another leads you only
to everything you’re told.
In your heart you wonder
which of these is true;
the road that leads to nowhere,
the road that leads to you.

Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
in you?

Each heart is a pilgrim,
each one wants to know
the reason why the winds die
and where the stories go.
Pilgrim, in your journey
you may travel far,
for pilgrim it’s a long way
to find out who you are…

Pilgrim, it’s a long way
to find out whou you are…

Pilgrim, it’s a long way
to find out who you are…

Good Times

GOOD TIMES
(Edie Brickell)

You don’t even have to try
It comes easy for you
The way you move is so appealing
It could make me cry
Go out driving with my friends
In Bobby’s big old beat up car
I’m with a lot of people then
I wonder where you are

Good times/Bad times
Give me some of that
Good times/Bad times
Give me some of that
Good times/Bad times

I don’t want to say goodbye
Don’t want to walk you to the door
I spend a little time with you
I want a little more

Good times/Bad times
Give me some of that
Good times/Bad times
Give me some of that
Good times/Bad times
Give me some of that

Always on My Mind

ALWAYS ON MY MIND
(Chris de Burgh)

Maybe I did’nt love you quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t hold you quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you all those lonely, lonely nights
And I guess I never told you, I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best, I’m so sorry, I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
If I made you feel second best, I’m so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
