1. Beyonce – Blue (ft. Blue Ivy)
Lyrics
Sometimes these walls seem to cave in on me
But when I look into your eyes
I feel alive
Some days we say words that don’t mean a thing
But when you’re holding me tight
I feel alive
Make it last forever
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you
Cause when you open your eyes
I feel alive
My heart beats so damn quick when you say my name
And when I’m holding you tight
I’m so alive
So now let’s just live it up
Make it last forever
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
Make it last forever
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
We’ve gotta hold on
I’ve gotta hold on
You’ve got to hold on
You’ve got a hold on, a hold onto me
We’ve gotta hold on
I’ve gotta hold on
You’ve got a hold on
You’ve got a hold on, a hold onto me
Make it last forever
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
Make it last forever
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won’t you hold on to me, hold on to me, blue
[Outro — Blue Ivy:]
Hold on to me, hold on
Bee-sy-ay, bee-sy-ay, bee-sy-ay
Mommy mommy mommy!
Can we see daddy?
Can we see daddy?
Miss you daddy…
2. Sade – The Sweetest Gift
Lyrics
Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she’d always keep you protected
She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning
And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling
She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heavens could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning
And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I’ll always remember this moment
3. Amy Grant – Baby, Baby
Lyrics
Baby, baby
I’m taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion
Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean
Stop for a minute
Baby I’m so glad you’re mine, yeah
You’re mine
Baby, baby
The stars are shining for you
And just like me I’m sure that they adore you
Baby, baby
Go walking through the forest
The birds above a’ singing you a chorus
Stop for a minute
Baby, they’re so glad you’re mine, oh yeah
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there’s just no getting over you
Baby, baby
In any kind of weather
I’m here for you always and forever
Baby, baby
No muscle man could sever
My love for you is true and it will never
Stop for a minute
Baby I’m so glad you’re mine
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there’s just no getting over you
And ever since the day you put my heart in motion
Baby I realize that there’s just no getting over you
Over you
Baby, baby
Always and forever
Baby I’m so glad that
Here for you baby
So glad you’re mine
Baby I’m so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile
Baby, baby be mine
Baby I’m so glad that
Don’t stop giving love
Don’t stop, no
Baby I’m so glad that you’re mine
Baby I’m so glad
Baby I’m so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile
4. Britney Spears – My Baby
Lyrics
Tiny hands
Yes that’s you
And all you show
It’s simply true
I smell your breath
It makes me cry
I wonder how
I’ve lived my life
‘Cause without you
How did I get through
All of my days
Without you
Now living with you
See everything true
My baby it’s you
My baby, my baby, my baby
With no words at all
So tiny and small
In love I fall so deep, so deep
My precious love
Sent from above
My baby boo
Gotta thank you, gotta thank you
‘Cause without you
How did I get through
All of my days
Without you
Now living with you
See everything true
My baby it’s you
My baby, my baby, my baby
‘Cause without you
How did I get through
All of my days
Without you
Now living with you
See everything true
My baby it’s you
My baby, my baby, my baby
5. Bjork – Mouth’s Cradle
Lyrics
There is yet another one
That follows me
Where ever I go
And supports me
This tooth is warmth-like
And these teeth are a ladder up to his mouth
These teeth are a ladder that I walk
That you can walk too if you want
If you want up to the mouth
The mouth’s cradle
Up to the mouth’s cradle
He always has a hope for me
Always sees me when nothing else
And everyone have left
That ghost is brighter than anyone
And fulfils me with hope
And you can use these teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
And you can follow these notes I’m singing
Up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
The simplicity of the ghost-like beast
The purity of what it wants and where it goes
Always love, always loves you, always loves you
Infrared love
And you can use these teeth as a ladder
Up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
And you can use these teeth follow my voice
Tooth by tooth
Up to the mouth’s cradle, the mouth’s cradle
I need a shelter to build an altar away
From all osamas and bushes
6. The Be Good Tanyas – The Littlest Birds
Lyrics
Well, I feel like an old hobo, I’m sad, lonesome and blue
I was fair as a summer’s day, now the summer days are through
You pass through places and places pass through you
But you carry them with you on the soles of your traveler’s shoes
Well, I love you so dearly, I love you so clearly
I wake you up in the morning, so early just to tell you
I got the wandering blues, I got the wandering blues
And I’m going to quit these rambling ways
One of these days soon, ooh
And I sing, the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well, it’s times like these I feel so small
And wild like the rambling footsteps of a wandering child
And I’m lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill
Singing these blues with a warble and a trill
But I’m not too blue to fly, no I’m not too blue to fly
‘Cause the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
But I love you so dearly, I love you so fearlessly
I wake you up in the morning so early, just to tell you
I’ve got the wandering blues, I’ve got the wandering blues
And I don’t want to leave you, I love you through and through
Well, I left my baby, on a pretty blue train
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain
And I had the wandering blues, and I sang those wandering blues
And I’m gonna quit these rambling ways one of these
Days soon, ooh
And I sing, the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
And the littlest birds sing the prettiest songs
Well, I don’t care if the sun don’t shine
And I don’t care if nothing is mine
And I don’t care if I’m nervous with you
I’ll do my loving in the wintertime
7. Madonna – Little Star
Lyrics
Never forget who you are
Little star (little star)
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
God gave a present to me
Made of flesh and bones
My life, my soul
You make my spirit whole
Never forget who you are
Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
Never forget where you come from
From love
You are a treasure to me
You are my star
You breathe new life
Into my broken heart
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
May the angels protect you
And sadness forget you
Little star
There’s no reason to weep
Lay your head down to sleep
Little star
May goodness surround you
My love I have found you
Little star
Shining bright
You breathe new life
Into my broken heart
Never forget who you are
Little star
Shining brighter than all the stars in the sky
Never forget how to dream
Butterfly
Flying higher than all the birds in the sky
Never forget who you are
Little star
Never forget where you come from
From love
Little star
Little star
Little star
From love
8. Aerosmith – I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing
Lyrics
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we’re together
And I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
I don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
I don’t want to miss one smile
And I don’t want to miss one kiss
And I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
And I just want to hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don’t want to close my eyes
Don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
I don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I’d still miss you baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep, yeah
And I don’t want to miss a thing
9. Shakira – The One Thing
Lyrics
Every morning when I woke up
I was choked up
I was leaving without a purpose
Always jumping all the hurdles
Doing circles in the dark with a broken compass
I can’t explain the way it feels
I could trip on my own words
I make mistakes, that’s much is clear
But I made it here my love
Yeah I made it here my love
You are the one thing that I got right
It’s a big ol’ world, yeah, it’s a big ol’ world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I’m a lucky girl, yeah, I’m a lucky girl
And if mess up everything someday
I would hide my head in shame
Cause you’re the one thing that I got right
One thing I got right
One thing I got right
Every morning when you wake up
I wanna hold you
I just need to be wrapped around you
It’s kinda funny when you think that you just got here
Now I know I can’t live without you
I can’t explain the way it feels
I could choke my own words
Sometimes it seems like it ain’t real
Like you’re really here my love, yeah, you’re really here my love
You’re the one thing that I got right
It’s a big ol’ world, yeah, it’s a big ol’ world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I’m a lucky girl, yeah, I’m a lucky girl
And if mess up everything someday
I would hide my head in shame
Cause you’re the one thing that I got right
Every time I see your smile
Every time I hear your laugh
Baby you bring in new sunshine over now
You are the little dream
Ever since I was a child
My fairytale comes true when I look at your face
May not be here forever
But it’ll be a long road together
I already know
We’re gonna be fine, fine, fine
We’re gonna be just fine, fine, fine
You are the one thing that I got right
It’s a big ol’ world, yeah, it’s a big ol’ world
You turn the darkness into sun light
I’m a lucky girl, yeah, I’m a lucky girl
And if mess up everything someday
I won’t hide my head in shame
Cause you’re the one thing that I got right
You’re the one thing that I got right
And if mess up everything someday
I won’t hide my head in shame
Cause you’re the one thing that I got right
You’re the one thing that I got right
One thing I got right
One thing I got right
Trivia10. Sleater Kinney – Lions and Tigers
Lyrics
26 letters from A to Z
L-A-U-G-H, E and there’s S
Put them in an order and
They become words
Words become a sentence
When you add nouns and verbs
I’d like to show you a million things
I’d like to make the world for you a better place
But when it pours, it really rains, so
Put on your boots, and let’s play
Ants live in a jungle
Leave a trail to their homes
So they can find their way back
If they’re ever alone
Monkeys in the trees
They eat bananas too fast
Lions and the tigers they
Hunt in the grass
I’d like to show you a million things
I’d like to make the world for you a better place
But when it pours, it really rains, so
Put on your boots, and let’s play
How come all the rulers of this earth
Get off on teaching something strong(?)
Please learn to rule with your head, not your fist
And those lessons that you learn will carry on
I’d like to show you a million things
I’d like to make the world for you a better place
But when it pours, it really rains, so
Put on your boots, and let’s play
It’s a long long way to go now
I’ll be there if you call
It’s a long long way to go now
I’ll be there if you call
11. Sheryl Crow – Lullaby for Wyatt
Lyrics
The world could fall apart
But you’re my heart, my dear
I will sing this song
‘Till we are gone, my dear
How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you’ll go out and you’ll come back some day
But love is letting go
And this I’ll know
‘Cause you were mine
For a time
I could shape your mind
But why waste time, my dear
There’s so much more to know
And I can show you dear
How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you’ll go out and you’ll come back some day
But love is letting go
And this I’ll know
‘Cause you were mine
For a time
I have held you close
And breathed your name, my dear
I was with you then
And will remain, my dear
How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you will find love like I did, someday
But love is letting go
And this I’ll know
‘Cause you were mine
For a time.
12. Carrie Underwood – What I Never Knew I Always Wanted
Lyrics
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Never was the kind to think about dressing in white
Wasn’t waiting on a prince to come riding into my life
Thought I was happy on my own
‘Til you came and proved me wrong
I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
I couldn’t see, I was blind ’til my eyes were opened
I didn’t know there was a hole
Something missing in my soul ’til you filled it up
With your love, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Never pictured myself singing lullabies
Sitting in a rocking chair in the middle of the night
In the quiet, in the dark
You’re stealing every bit of my heart with your daddy’s eyes
What a sweet surprise
And now I’m holdin’ what I never knew I always wanted
I couldn’t see, I was blind ’til my eyes were opened
I didn’t know there was a hole
Something missing in my soul ’til you filled it up
Oh, with your love
Life has a way of showing you just what you need
And who you were made to be, yeah
I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
I couldn’t see, I was blind ’til my eyes were opened
I didn’t know there was a hole
Something missing in my soul ’til you filled it up
With your love
Yeah, you filled it up
With your love, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Never was the kind to think about dressing in white
I never pictured myself singing lullabies
13. Count On Me – Bruno Mars
Lyrics
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I’ll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can’t see,
I’ll be the light to guide you
Find out what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You’ll be there
‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Whoa, whoa
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
If you tossin’ and you’re turnin’ and you just can’t fall asleep
I’ll sing a song
Beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will
Remind you
Ooh
Find out what we’re made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You’ll be there
‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
You’ll always have my shoulder when you cry
I’ll never let go
Never say goodbye
You know you can
Count on me like one two three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
And you’ll be there
‘Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Oh, oh
You can count on me ’cause I can count on you

15. Adele – Sweetest Devotion
Lyrics
With your loving, there ain’t nothing
That I can’t adore
The way I’m running, with you, honey
Means we can break every law
I find it funny that you’re the only
One I never looked for
There is something in your loving
That tears down my walls
I wasn’t ready then, I’m ready now
I’m heading straight for you
You will only be eternally
The one that I belong to
The sweetest devotion
Hitting me like an explosion
All of my life, I’ve been frozen
The sweetest devotion I’ve known
I’ll forever be whatever you want me to be
I’ll go under and all over for your clarity
When you wonder if I’m gonna lose my way home
Just remember, that come whatever, I’ll be yours all alone
I wasn’t ready then, I’m ready now
I’m heading straight for you
You will only be eternally
The one that I belong to
The sweetest devotion
Hitting me like an explosion
All of my life, I’ve been frozen
The sweetest devotion I’ve known
I’ve been looking for you, baby
In every face that I’ve ever known
And there is something ’bout the way you love me
That finally feels like home
You’re my light, you’re my darkness
You’re the right kind of madness
And you’re my hope, you’re my despair
You’re my scope, everything, everywhere
The sweetest devotion
Hitting me like an explosion
All of my life, I’ve been frozen
The sweetest devotion I’ve known
Sweetest
It’s the sweetest
Sweetest
It’s the sweetest
Sweetest
It’s the sweetest
Sweetest
It’s the sweetest
Devotion
16. Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – Over the Rainbow
Lyrics
Ooh
Ooh
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby, I
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
Clouds high over the rainbow, makes all your dreams come true, ooh
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That’s where you’ll find me, oh
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Oh why, oh why can’t I? I
I see trees of green and red roses too
I’ll watch then bloom just for me and you
And I think to myself
Oh, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, clouds of white
The brightness of day, the dark, say goodnight
And I think to myself
Oh, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shakin’ hands saying, “How’s it? How you?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”
I hear babies cry and I’d watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than we’ll know
And I think to myself
Oh, what a wonderful world
I think to myself, yes
What a wonderful world
I think to myself, yeah
What a wonderful world
Ah-ooh
Oh, what a wonderful world it is
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, na, na, mama
Yeah, yeah, aloha
17. Phillip Phillips – Home
Lyrics
Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it’ll all be clear
Don’t pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Settle down, it’ll all be clear
Don’t pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
‘Cause I’m going to make this place your home
18. Celine Dion – Miracle
Lyrics
You’re my life’s one Miracle,
Everything I’ve done that’s good
And you break my heart with tenderness,
And I confess it’s true
I never knew a love like this till you…
You’re the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I’m overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
With all the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?
The nearest thing to heaven,
You’re my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
When you smile at me, I cry
And to save your life I’ll die
With a romance that is pure heart,
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires,
I live for your…
19. Stevie Wonder – Isn’t She Lovely
Lyrics
Isn’t she lovely?
Isn’t she wonderful?
Isn’t she precious?
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we’d be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn’t she lovely made from love?
Isn’t she pretty?
Truly the angel’s best
Boy, I’m so happy
We have been Heaven blessed
I can’t believe what God has done
Through us He’s given life to one
But isn’t she lovely made from love?
Isn’t she lovely?
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
That’s so very lovely, made from love, hey!
20. Shania Twain – From This Moment On
Lyrics
I do swear that I’ll always be there
I’d give anything and everything and I will always care
Through weakness and strength
Happiness and sorrow
For better, for worse
I will love you with every beat of my heart
From this moment, life has begun
From this moment, you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment, I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love, I’d give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
I can’t wait to live my life with you, I can’t wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
From this moment on, oh
You’re the reason I believe in love
And you’re the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
Quick fact21. Amos Lee – Sweet Pea
Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Hey, sweet pea
Apple of my eye
Don’t know when, and I don’t know why
But you’re the only reason I keep on coming home
(You’re the reason, yes, you’re the reason) Hey
You sweet pea
What’s all this about?
Don’t get your way, all you do is huff and puff
And cuss and pout
You’re the reason that I keep on coming home
(Get that achin’, sweet thankin’ stinkin’)
I’m like the Rock of Gibralter
I always seem to falter
And the words just be gettin’ in my way
When I’m dyin’ and gonna crumble
Maybe I’m tryin’ to stay humble although
I never missed the things that I ain’t have to say
Sweet pea baby
Keeper of my soul
I know sometimes, I’m out of control
You’re the only reason that I keep on coming (yes, you)
You’re the only reason that I keep on coming (yes, you)
You’re the only reason that I keep on coming home
Hey
22. Mindy Gledhill – Hourglass
Lyrics
Little boy, when you speak
I can’t help but kiss your cheeks
I love the way you grab my hands
And tell me all about your plans
Rocket high, comets fly
You and I could take a ride
And fly away to Neverland
And give our best to Peter Pan
When you reach for the stars
Don’t forget who you are
And please don’t turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life’s an hourglass
Life’s an hourglass
Story’s read, prayer is said
Close your eyes sleepyhead
While angels linger in your dreams
And hold you in their feathered wings
Just like you, I was small
Not that long ago at all
I wish you all the happiness
That God gives freely if you ask
When you reach for the stars
Don’t forget who you are
And please don’t turn around and grow up way too fast
See the sand in my grasp
From the first to the last
Every grain becomes a memory of the past
Oh, life’s an hourglass
Life’s an hourglass
Life’s an hourglass
23. John Lennon – Beautiful Boy
Lyrics
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster’s gone,
He’s on the run
And your daddy’s here,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day
In every way,
It’s getting better and better,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we’ll both
Just have to be patient,
‘Cause it’s a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe
Yes, it’s a long way to go
But in the meantime,
Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is what happens to you,
While you’re busy making other plans,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day
In every way,
It’s getting better and better,
[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,
Darling, darling,
Darling Sean.
24. Lynard Skynard – Simple Man
Lyrics
Mama told me when I was young
“Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it’ll help you some sunny day, ah yeah”
“Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love
And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above”
“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”
“Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied”
“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”
Oh yes, I will
“Boy, don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied”
“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
25. Brad Paisley – Anything Like Me
Lyrics
I remember sayin’ I don’t care either way
Just as long as he or she is healthy I’m okay
Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen
And said “Ya see that thing right there, well you know what that means”
And I started wondering who he was going to be
And I thought heaven help us if he’s anything like me
He’ll probably climb a tree to tall and ride his bike too fast
End up every summer wearin’ something in a cast
He’s gonna throw a ball and break some glass, in a window down the street
He’s gonna get in trouble, he’s gonna get in fights
I’m gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It’s safe to say that I’m gonna get my payback, if he’s anything like me
I can see him right now, knees all skinned up
With a magnifying glass tryin’ to melt a Tonka truck
Won’t he be a sight with his football helmet on
That’ll be his first love til his first love comes along
He’ll get his heart broke by the time he’s in his teens
And heaven help him if he’s anything like me
He’ll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast
Get a speeding ticket he’ll pay for mowing grass
He’s gonna get caught skippin’ class and be grounded for a week
He’s gonna get in trouble, we’re gonna get in fights
I’m gonna lose my temper and some sleep
It’s safe to say that I’m gonna get my payback, if he’s anything like me
He’s gonna love me and hate me along the way
Years are gonna fly by, I already dread the day
He’s gonna hug his momma, he’s gonna shake my hand
He’s gonna act like he can’t wait to leave
But as he drives out, he’ll cry his eyes out
If he’s anything like me
There’s worse folks to be like
Aw he’ll be alright, if he’s anything like me
26. Stone Temple Pilots – A Song for Sleeping
Lyrics
Finally I’ve met you
The day has come
You’re more than beautiful
And you’re my son
I don’t deserve this
I never thought it could be
Quite like the moment
When you first smiled at me
A toothless, wonderful feeling
Like I’d never seen
It’s you, Noah, it’s you
And when you lie down to sleep
I’ll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I’m watching you grow
I’ll pray
There’s so much I could teach you
If you only have the time
Pray
There’s so much God can teach you
If you only have the time
So will you tell me the little things?
What does God look like?
And angels’ wings?
I don’t remember these things
So would you teach them to me?
So for the moment
I’ll watch you breathe
And when you wake up in the morning
And I pour the coffee
You’re always smiling, sweetly
27. Celine Dion – A New Day Has Come
Lyrics
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don’t shed a tear
Through darkness and good times
I knew I’d make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it’s almost blinding me
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has come
Where it was dark now there’s is light
Where there was pain, now there’s joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush now
I see a light in the sky
Oh it’s almost blinding me
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel
With love
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has
Let the rain come down
And wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul
And drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls
For a new sun
A new day has
Come
Oh oh oh
Hush, now
I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of a boy (A new day)
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel, with love (A new day)
I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love (A new day)
Oh oh
Hush, now
A new day
Hush, now
A new day
28. John Legend – Right By You
Lyrics
Will you live like me, in a world run by desire?
Will you wake from worldly dream and not be tired?
Will you work like me to lift the conversation higher?
Will you be cool like water putting out the fire?
How can you be free from all this sorrow?
Will the ones you love today be gone tomorrow?
And if angels don’t have answers to your prayers
Oh, I will be there
Oh I will be there
And if who you love don’t want your love, well then
Do you cut a deal with love and run again?
You see, love contains the meaning of despair
Will you think like me? Will you have your mother’s fire?
Maybe the way we are will not be how you’re wired
Will we do right by you? Will we you have what you require
To make your days on this Earth not so dire?
Can you choose to lead if no one follows?
And if we fell today, must you tomorrow?
Sanctify your answer not your prayer
Oh, I will be there
Yeah, I will be there
Yeah, I will be there
And even when it all becomes too much
When you’re growing old and feeling out of touch
Ooh, listen to this song and just take care
And know that I will be there
Yeah, I will be there
No, I swear that I will
Yeah, I promise I will
Little girl, I’m cryin’
29. Martina McBride – In My Daugher’s Eyes
Lyrics
In my daughter’s eyes
I am a hero
I am strong and wise
And I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter’s eyes
In my daughter’s eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter’s eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
How it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It’s hanging on when your heart is had enough
It’s giving more when you feel like giving up
I’ve seen the light
It’s in my daughter’s eyes
In my daughter’s eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
And though she’ll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I’m gone I hope you’ll see
How happy she made me
For I’ll be there
In my daughter’s eyes
30. Tim McGraw – My Little Girl
Lyrics
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Going to tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm
You’ve had me wrapped around your finger
Since the day you were born
You’re beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you’ll always be my little girl
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile
Could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you
I turned around and you’ve almost grown
Sometimes when you’re asleep
I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say
Daddy love you more
You’re beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you’ll always be my little girl
Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won’t say yes to him
Unless I know he’s the half that makes you whole
He has a poet’s soul and the heart of a man’s man
I know he’ll say that he’s in love
But between you and me, he won’t be good enough
You’re beautiful baby, from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that will lead you home again
Go on, take on this old world but to me
You know you’ll always be my little girl
