Here Comes the Sun

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right.
Little darling it’s been a long cold lonely winter,
Little darling it feels like years since it’s been here.
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right.
Little darling the smiles returning to their faces,
Little darling it seems like it’s years since it’s been here,
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.
Little darling I feel that ice is slowly melting,
Little darling it seems like years since it’s been clear,
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
It’s all right, it’s all right.

This helps with the dancin nana's

Desmond has a barrow in the market place.
Molly is a singer in a band.
Desmond says to Molly – girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers’ stores,
Buys a twenty carat golden ring.
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand.
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band.
Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand.
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she’s singer with the band.
And if you want some fun – take Ob-la-di Ob-la-da.

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus?
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence?
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus?
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence?
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Halelluja?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeah

Oooh I like that one too, Wingie. I came up with several tunes just a few minutes ago.

#1. Black Sabbath--Eternal Idol: "Born to Lose" ©1987
Generally speaking, Sabbath songs aren't referred to as "happy", but this one by far, is energetic enough to be "almost happy".

<script language=\"\&quot;javascript\&quot;\" src="http://www.oldielyrics.com/song_in_top.js"></script> I'll play your game
But if you lose you're gonna have to pay the price
Broken chains, like a prisoner free at last
The fear inside just up and died
Time will tell if i am wrong

It won't be too long
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark
Well I'm not born to lose
I'm not born to lose

You curse my name, as you turn and walk away, from view
It won't be too long
You don't scare me cos you're
Hard to see and it's time
That you were gone
It won't be too long

You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark
Well I'm not born to lose

You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark
What you gonna do about it now
What you gonna do about it now

It won't be too long
It won't be too long
It won't be too long

You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark
What you gonna do about it now
What you gonna do about it now

Ain't nothing I can do about it now

#2. Mission U.K.--God's Own Medicine: "Blood Brothers" ©1986
#3. Simple Minds--Live In The City Of Light: "Don't You (Forget About Me)" ©1987
#4. A-Ha -- Hunting High And Low: "Take On Me" ©1985

Stevie Wonder - Happy Birthday

Midas

Whoa, I thought of a good one this time...
Oingo Boingo -- Dead Man's Party album: "Dead Man's Party"

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

CHORUS
I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
(Don't run away it's only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

CHORUS

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .

Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

Ya cant take a shower in a parakeet cage
Ya cant take a shower in a parakeet cage
Ya cant take a shower in a parakeet cage
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

All ya gotta do is put your mind to it
Knuckle down, buckle down, do it, do it, do it

Well, ya cant go a-swimmin in a baseball pool
Ya cant go swimmin in a baseball pool
Ya cant go swimmin in a baseball pool
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

Ya cant change film with a kid on your back
Ya cant change film with a kid on your back
Ya cant change film with a kid on your back
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

Ya cant drive around with a tiger in your car
Ya cant drive around with a tiger in your car
Ya cant drive around with a tiger in your car
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

All ya gotta do is put your mind to it
Knuckle down, buckle down do it, do it, do it

Well, ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

Ya cant go fishin in a watermelon patch
Ya cant go fishin in a watermelon patch
Ya cant go fishin in a watermelon patch
But you can be happy if youve a mind to

Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd
SPOKEN: Ya cant roller skate in a buffalo herd

I'm new but here's a few I enjoy,
Jojo's Happy Song
Jhonny Cash Boy named Sue If ever you need a cheery song there's a few of his that'll make you laugh.
Proclaimers I would Walk 1000 miles

Jojo's Happy Song


VERSE 1:
Nothin makes me more happy than to know
That I have such a close friend
To know that you're down for me is reassuring
It's the reason I'm always smilin

And when I'm kickin' it with you
I have a lot fun with you
Never any kind of pressure
Comin' from you
Trying to get me to do
Anything I'm not ready to
That's why I really like you

CHORUS:
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
You make me happy
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
So very happy

VERSE 2:
I never get tired of talkin' on the phone with you
For I was out of time
And as time goes by we will come grown up and wise
I hope we'll be just as tight

And it was supposed to be
Then we're gonna be
No one can stop us; destined
For you and me
Who's to say that we
Won't fall deep in love
It's a very good chance because

CHORUS x2

BRIDGE:
I might be young
But I still know what it is (to be happy)
I know what's in my heart
I know what's on my mind
And it's you all of the time

Jhonny Cash Boy named Sue


My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to Ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue.'


Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue.'

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the *****-tonks and bars
And kill that man that give me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue.'



Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
>From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' how do you do! Now you gonna die!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down but, to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said good-bye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's that name that helped to make you strong."

He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'.'

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I come away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!

Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer
Nat King Cole

http://www.transload.net/~terrisfunn...azysummer.html

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer

Those days of soda and pretzels and beer

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer

Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies

Then lock the house up, now you're set

And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis

As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet

hopealwayz

oh my gosh, just seeing the names of these songs are making me get them stuck in my head! I might have to get up, turn on the radio, and dance.

Midas

Dance, baby. Dance!


Broken Wings

Baby I don't understand
Why we can't just hold on
To each other's hands

This time might be the last
I fear unless I make it all too clear
I need you so

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings

Baby I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
To make it right

Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Need you so

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing

Let us in
Let us in

Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah so

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
You got to learn to fly
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
