#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

#50 More Today Than Yesterday (The Spiral Starecase) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… I don’t remember what day it was
I didn’t notice what time it was
All I know is that I fell in love with you
And if all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you🪄
… Every day’s a new day in love with you
With each day comes a new way of loving you
Every time I kiss your lip my mind starts to wander
If all my dreams come true
I’ll be spending time with you🪄
… Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But, darling, not as much as tomorrow🪄
… Tomorrow’s date means springtime’s just a day away
Cupid, we don’t need ya now, be on your way
I thank the Lord for love like ours that grows ever stronger
And I always will be true
I know you feel the same way too🪄
… Oh, I love you more today than yesterday
But not as much as tomorrow
I love you more today than yesterday
But only half as much as tomorrow🪄
… Every day’s a new day, every time I love ya
Every way’s a new way, every time I love ya
Every day’s a new day, every time I kiss ya
Every way’s a new way, oh, how I love ya
Every day’s a new day, every time I love ya
Every day’s a new day, every time I love ya

#48 I’d Wait A Million Years (The Grass Roots) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
All of the lonely nights
Waiting for you to come
Longing to hold you tight
I need you so desperately
Waiting for you to come
Bringing your love to me🪄
But I’d wait a million years
Walk a million miles
Cry a million tears
I’d swim the deepest sea
Climb the highest hill
Just to have you near me🪄
As life is reality
When you are near to me
I am in ecstasy (Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
I’d swallow the pain and pride
Baby, I just can’t hide
All that I feel inside🪄
And I’d wait a million years
Walk a million miles
Cry a million tears
I’d swim the deepest sea
Climb the highest hill
Just to have you near me🪄
A million years
I would wait for you
A million tears
Baby, I’d be true
A million miles
I would follow you
A million years
If you want me to🪄
Pacing the floor, detest
Sweat pouring down my chest
Still I can’t love you less (Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
It’s worth all the pain and pride
Baby, I just cant hide
All that I feel inside🪄
And I’d wait a million years
Walk a million miles
Cry a million tears
I’d swim the deepest sea
Climb the highest hill
Just to have you near me🪄
I’d wait a million years
Walk a million miles
Cry a million tears (Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
I’d swim the deepest sea
Climb the highest hill
Just to have you near me🪄
I’d wait a million years
Walk a million miles
Cry a million tears (Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa)
I’d swim the deepest sea
Climb the highest hill
Just to have you near me

Lyrics:
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart🪄
You see it’s getting late
Oh, please don’t hesitate

Still the children cry

We won’t let hatred grow

And if you’re looking down
Put a little love in your heart🪄
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart🪄
