#2 (They Long To Be) Close To You (Carpenters) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you🪄
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you🪄
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue🪄
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you🪄
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue🪄
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you🪄
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you🪄
Wa, close to you
Wa, close to you
Ha, close to you
La, close to you

#1 Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I’ll dry them all🪄
… I’m on your side
Oh, when times get rough🪄
… And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you🪄
… I’ll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes🪄
… And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way🪄
… See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend🪄
… I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

#99 Hooked on a Feeling (B. J. Thomas) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I can’t stop this feeling deep inside of me
Girl, you just don’t realize what you do to me
When you hold me in your arms so tight
You let me know every thing’s all right, aha hah🪄
I, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That you’re in love with me🪄
Lips as sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine🪄
I got it bad for you girl but I don’t need a cure
I’ll just stay addicted if I can endure🪄
All the good love when we’re all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah, you turn me on🪄
I, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That you’re in love with me🪄
All the good love when we’re all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah, you turn me on🪄
Ah aha, I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That you’re in love with me

#96 Laughing (The Guess Who) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn’t realize but I was waiting🪄
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) it ain’t the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) it ain’t the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me🪄
I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing🪄
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) it ain’t the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me🪄
’cause you’re doin’ it to me
(Laughing) oh, what you doing to me?
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me, oh🪄
ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing) ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing) were you laughing at me?
(Laughing) were you laughing at me?🪄
oh, what you’re doin’ to me, girl?
(Laughing) I’m-a looking, you’re laughing
(Laughing) I’m-a looking, you’re laughing
(Laughing) you’re looking, I’m laughing
(Laughing)

#88 I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Marvin Gaye) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ooh, I bet you’re wonderin’ how I knew
‘Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more
It took me by surprise, I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don’t you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
Oh, I’m just about to lose my mind🪄
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)🪄
I know a man ain’t supposed to cry
But these tears, I can’t hold inside
Losin’ you would end my life, you see
‘Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else, instead🪄
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, well
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)🪄
People say, “Believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear”
But I can’t help but be confused
If it’s true, please, tell me, dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?🪄
Don’t you know I heard it through the grapevine?
Not much longer would you be mine
Baby, I heard it through the grapevine
Ooh, I’m just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
(Heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)🪄
Honey, honey, I know (heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
That you’re letting me go (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said, I heard it through the grapevine (heard it through the grapevine)
(Not much longer would you be mine, baby)
Ooh, heard it through the grapevine (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

#83 Something (The Beatles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how🪄
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don’t need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how🪄
You’re asking me will my love grow
I don’t know, I don’t know
You stick around, now it may show
I don’t know, I don’t know🪄
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don’t want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
