#40 Love Is All Around (The Troggs) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows🪄
It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go, oh yes, it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show, oh🪄
You know, I love you, I always will
My mind’s made up
By the way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love you can depend🪄
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes I did🪄
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything and I do, oh yes I do🪄
You know, I love you, I always will
My mind’s made up by the
Way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end🪄
‘Cause on my love you can depend, yeah
Got to keep it movin’
Ooh, it’s written in the wind
Oh, everywhere I go, yeah, ooh well
So if you really love me, love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show🪄

Come and let it show, baby🪄
Come on, come on, come on let it show, baby

#39 Fire (Arthur Brown) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Firebreathing through your unseigable fortress. I’m the devil and Michael De
Ruyter’s my name. I ride on the waves, right through your chains. You are my
Prey and you’ll never forget my name. A firebreath, a crimson sky, in a lake
Of fire you will die. The English pride, consumed by flames, you’ll never
Forget my name.🪄
Firebreath, spritting forks of fire. Firebreath, attacking a crumbling empire.
Firebreath, the Dutchman’s anger. Firebreath, a fire’s breath. The voyage to
Chatham. in 1667. The three day wat, never equalled again. Capture the Royal
Charles, the English flagship.🪄
The river Thames, the bleeding English heart. A firebreath, a crimson sky, in
A lake of fire you will die. The English pride, consumed by flames, you’ll
Never forget my name. A thousand cannonballs, rain down on my deck. Of the
Seven Provincies, the republic’s battleship number one. But they do no harm,
Cause Satan’s wings protect. His servant’s life, from the English last
Convulsion.🪄
A firebreath, a crimson sky, in a lake of fire you will die. The English
Pride, consumed by flames, you’ll never forget my name. Firebreath, spritting
Forks of fire. Firebreath, attacking a crumbling empire. Firebreath, the
Dutchman’s anger. Firebreath, a fire’s breath

“I enjoyed watching this film and I have seen it several times before. Each time I glean something new from the personalities. Dustin Hoffman and Ann Bancroft are amazing. Societies constraints are magnified as this film dives into areas that are often not talked about…even today. I will definitely see this again when I need a fix.”

#37 Hold Me Tight (Johnny Nash) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I don’t want to hear it,
No more fussin’ and fightin’ baby,
Hold me tight.
Let’s let bygones be bygones,
Let’s think about tomorrow girl,
Our future’s bright.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, hold me tight.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
You were the only girl for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
And everything’s gonna be all right,
Baby, hold me tight.

#36 The Look of Love (Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The look of love is in your eyes
A look the time can’t disguise
The look of lo… ve is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say🪄
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away🪄
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You’ve got the look of love
It’s on your face
A look the time can’t erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let’s take a lover’s vow
And then seal it with a kiss🪄
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you🪄
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)
Don’t ever go
(Don’t ever go)

#35 A Beautiful Morning (The Rascals) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
It’s a beautiful morning, ah
I think I’ll go outside for a while and just smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
(Ain’t) no sense in staying inside
If the weather’s fine and you got the time
It’s your chance to wake up and plan another brand-new day🪄
it’s a beautiful morning, ah
Each bird keeps singing his own song, so long
I’ve got to be on my way now
(Ain’t) no fun just hanging around
I got to cover ground, you couldn’t keep me down
It just ain’t no good if the sun shines
When you’re still inside (shouldn’t hide)
Still inside (shouldn’t hide)
Still inside (shouldn’t hide)
Still in-, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh🪄
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Oo-ooh-ah-ah🪄
There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour🪄
Seems to me that people keep seeing more and more each day
(Gotta say) lead the way
(It’s okay) brand-new day
(Gotta say) it’s okay
Wednesday, Thursday, it’s okay🪄
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Whoa, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah
Oh (ooh-ah-ah)
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oo-ooh-ah-ah

1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

“I enjoyed rewatching this film from an earlier time in my life. Not sure when I first saw it and I know I have seen it a couple of times. Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau play excellent yin yang characters. I loved the movie and the TV series that later came out. Neil Simon was a brilliant writer.”

#34 Lady Willpower (Gary Puckett & The Union Gap) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Lady Willpower, it’s now or never
Give your love to me and I’ll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly🪄
I know you want to see me but you’re afraid
Of what I might have on my mind
One thing you can be sure of
I’ll take good care of your love
If you will let me give you mine🪄
Lady Willpower, it’s now or never
Give your love to me and I’ll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly🪄
Did no one ever tell you the facts of life
Well there’s so much you have to learn
And I would gladly teach you
If I could only reach you
And get your lovin’ in return🪄
Lady Willpower, it’s now or never
Give your love to me and I’ll shower
Your heart with tenderness endlessly
