#60 I’m Gonna Make You Mine (Lou Christie) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I’ll try every trick in the book
With every step that you take, everywhere that you look
Just look and you’ll find
I’ll try to get to your soul, I’ll try to get to your mind🪄
I’m gonna make you mine
I know I’ll never give up, I’m at the end of my rope
From the morning till suppertime, you’ll find
I’ll be waiting in line, I’ll be waiting in line🪄
I’m gonna make you mine (baby, I’m gonna make you mine)
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine🪄
I’ll try every trick in the book
With every step that you take, everywhere that you look
Just look and you’ll find
I’ll be waiting in line, I’ll be waiting in line🪄
I’m gonna make you mine (baby, I’m gonna make you mine)
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine🪄
I’ll be a hard-lovin’, pushin’ kind of individual
Knockin’ night and day at your door
You’ll have to turn me away like an indestructible force🪄
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine🪄
I’ll try every trick in the book
With every step that you take, everywhere that you look
Just look and you’ll find
I’ll try to get to your soul, I’ll try to get to your mind
I’m gonna make you mine🪄
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine🪄
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine

#59 Galveston (Glen Campbell) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin’
I still see her dark eyes glowin’
She was 21 when I left Galveston🪄
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston🪄
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin’ out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run🪄
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she’s crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

#57 Runaway Child, Running Wild (The Temptations) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You played hookie from school and you can’t go out to play, yeah
Mama said, for the rest of the week, in your room you gotta stay, yeah
Oh ho, now you feel like the whole world’s pickin’ on you
But deep down inside, you know it ain’t true
You’re in punishment
‘Cause your mother wants to raise you in the right way, yeah
But you don’t care
‘Cause you already made up your mind you wanna run away yeah
You’re on your way, runaway child, running wild
Runaway child running wild
Better go back home where you belong
Roaming through the city going nowhere fast, you’re on your own at last
Hey, it’s gettin’ late, where will you sleep?
You’re gettin’ kinda hungry, you forgot to bring something to eat
Oh, lost with no money you start to cry
But remember, you left home wantin’ to be grown, so dry your weeping eyes
Sirens screamin’ down neon lighted streets
You want your mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Are they looking for you?
You’re frightened and confused
I want my mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
But she’s much too far away, she can’t hear a word you say
You’ve heard some frightening news on the radio
About little boys running away from home
And the parents don’t see them no more
You wanna stop to hitch a ride, I know
But your mama told you never trust a stranger
And you don’t know which way to go
Streets are dark and deserted, not a sound nor sign of life
Oh how you long to hear your mother’s voice, ’cause you’re lost and alone
But remember, you made the choice, runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
He he he, oh, runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
You’re lost in this great big city
Go back home where you belong
Not one familiar face, ain’t it a pity
Go back home where you belong
Oh, runaway child running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Oh yeah, my girl
Mama, mama, please, come and sit here by me
Oh but she’s much too far away, she can’t hear a word you say
Oh, you’re frightened and confused, which way will you choose

#56 This Magic Moment (Jay and The Americans) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you🪄
And then it happened
It took me by surprise
I knew that you felt it too
By the look in your eyes🪄
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight🪄
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever, till the end of time (this magic moment)🪄
Whoa, oh, (this magic moment) oh🪄
Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine)
Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night)
Everything I want to have (everything, everything)
Whenever I hold you tight🪄
This magic moment (this magic moment)
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever (this magic moment)
Forever, till the end of time (magic)🪄
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh🪄
Magic, magic, magic

#55 It’s Getting Better (Cass Elliot) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
But with me and you it just started quietly and grew
And believe it or not
Now there’s something groovy and good
Bout whatever we got
And it’s getting better
Growing stronger warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday
I don’t feel all turned on and starry eyed
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right
And it’s not hard to see
That it isn’t half of what it’s going to turn out to be
Cause it’s getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday
And just like a flower that takes time to bloom
This love of ours is taking time to grow
Ba da da da da da da da da da da da
And I don’t mind waitin’, don’t mind waitin’
Cause no matter how long it takes
The two of us know
That it’s getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday.

#54 Traces (Classics IV) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Faded photograph
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and pieces🪄
Traces of love long ago
That didn’t work out right
Traces of love🪄
Ribbons from her hair
Souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear
Pages from an old love letter🪄
Traces of love long ago
That didn’t work out right
Traces of love with me tonight🪄
I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in her heart she’ll find
A trace of love still there
Somewhere, oh, oh🪄
Traces of hope in the night
That she’ll come back and dry
These traces of tears from my eyes
Oh, yeah

#53 Atlantis (Donovan) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.
So great an area of land,
That from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North Americas with ease,
In their ships with painted sails.
To the East Africa was a neighbour,
Across a short strait of sea miles.
The great Egyptian age is🪄
But a remnant of The Atlantian culture.
The antediluvian kings colonised the world
All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis.🪄
Knowing her fate,
Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:🪄
The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were –
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice
And let us sing
And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis!🪄
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be,
Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
I wanna see you some day
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
My antediluvian baby,
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl,
Girl, I wanna see you some day.
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah
I wanna see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby.
My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you
My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone
I wanna see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
oh yeah Oh club club, down down, yeah
My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

#52 Lay, Lady, Lay (Bob Dylan) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed🪄
Whatever colors you have
In your mind
I’ll show them to you
And you’ll see them shine🪄
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile🪄
Until the break of day
Let me see you make him smile🪄
His clothes are dirty, but his-
His hands are clean
And you’re the best thing that he’s
Ever seen🪄
Stay, lady, stay
Stay with your man awhile🪄
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love?
When he’s standing, in front of you🪄
Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead🪄
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night🪄
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead

#51 I’ve Gotta Be Me (Sammy Davis Jr.) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am🪄
I want to live, not merely survive
And I won’t give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am🪄
That far away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won’t settle down, won’t settle for less
As long as there’s a chance that I can have it all🪄
I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
I can’t be right for somebody else
If I’m not right for me
I gotta be free, I’ve gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I’ve gotta be me🪄
I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
I can’t be right for somebody else
If I’m not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me
