#48 Cecilia (Simon & Garfunkel) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place🪄
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing🪄
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing

#47 Come and Get It (Badfinger) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mmh, make your mind up fast
If you want it, any time, I can give it🪄
But you’d better hurry ’cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?🪄
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mmh, make your mind up fast🪄
If you want it, any time, I can give it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it may not last🪄
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
Sonny🪄
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
You’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast🪄
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fool and his money
Sonny🪄
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
You’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
You’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast

#45 He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother (The Hollies) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother🪄
… So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We’ll get there🪄
… For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother🪄
… If I’m laden at all
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another🪄
… It’s a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we’re on the way to there
Why not share?🪄
… And the load
Doesn’t weigh me down at all
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother🪄
… He’s my brother
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

#43 Hey There Lonely Girl (Eddie Holman) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hey there, lonely girl
Lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Hey there, lonely girl
Lonely girl
Don’t you know this lonely boy loves you?🪄
Ever since he broke your heart
You seem so lost
Each time you pass my way
Oh, how I long to take your hand
And say, “Don’t cry”
I’ll kiss your tears away🪄
Hey, lonely girl
My lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Hey there, lonely girl
Lonely girl
Don’t you know this lonely boy loves you?🪄
But once you’re in my arms you’ll see
No one can kiss your lips the way I will
The way I will🪄
Hey there, lonely girl
Lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new
Hey there, lonely girl
Lonely girl
Don’t you know this lonely boy loves you?
Don’t you know this lonely boy loves you?🪄
You
Hey there lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely girl (lonely girl, lonely girl)
Can’t you see that I love-?

#41 Snowbird (Anne Murray) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting
For its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers
That will bloom again in spring🪄
When I was young
My heart was young then, too
Anything that it would tell me
That’s the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life’s
The thing that I can’t win🪄
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you🪄
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he’ll only break my heart again
Should I decide to stay
So, little snowbird
Take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes
Where the peaceful waters flow🪄
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you🪄
Yeah, if I could you know that I would
Fl-y-y-y-y away with you

#40 The Long And Winding Road (The Beatles) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door🪄
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way🪄
Many times I’ve been alone
And many times I’ve cried
Anyway, you’ll never know
The many ways I’ve tried🪄
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don’t leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door🪄
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don’t keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door🪄
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

#39 Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) (Edison Lighthouse) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
She ain’t got no money
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me🪄
She talks kinda lazy
And people say she she’s crazy
And her life’s a mystery
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me🪄
There’s something about her hand holding mine
It’s a feeling that’s fine
And I just gotta say
She’s really got a magical spell
And it’s working so well
That I can’t get away🪄
I’m a lucky fella
And I’ve just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me🪄
There’s something about her hand holding mine
It’s a feeling that’s fine
And I just gotta say
She’s really got a magical spell
And it’s working so well
That I can’t get away🪄
I’m a lucky fella
And I’ve just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
Fadeout:
It keeps growing every place she’s been
And nobody knows like me🪄
If you’ve met her, you’ll never forget her
And nobody knows like me
La la la- believe it when you’ve seen it
Nobody knows like me

#36 Rainy Night in Georgia (Brook Benton) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hoverin’ by my suitcase
Tryin’ to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain’s fallin’
Seems I hear your voice callin’ “it’s all right”🪄
A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it’s rainin’ all over the world
I feel like it’s rainin’ all over the world🪄
Neon signs a-flashin’
Taxicabs and buses passin’ through the night
A distant moanin’ of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain to the night🪄
But it’s a rainy night in Georgia
Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it’s rainin’ all over the world
I feel like it’s rainin’ all over the world🪄
How many times I wondered
It still comes out the same
No matter how you look at it or think of it
It’s life and you just got to play the game🪄
Find me a place in a box car
So I take my guitar to pass some time
Late at night when it’s hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest and I feel fine, I feel fine🪄
But it’s a rainy night in Georgia
Baby, it’s a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it’s rainin’ all over the world
Kinda lonely now and it’s rainin’ all over the world
Rainin’, rainin’ rainin’, rainin’, rainin’ rainin’, rainin’, rainin’, rainin’, rainin’

#35 Lookin’ Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
There’s a giant doin’ cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listenin’ to Buck Owens
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Wondrous apparition, provided by magician
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door

Lyrics:
Instant karma’s gonna get you
Going to knock you on the head
You gonna break your body, darling
Pretty soon you’re going to be dead🪄
What in the world you’re thinking of
Laughing in the face of love?
What on earth you trying to do?
It’s up to you, yeah, you🪄
Instant karma’s gonna get you
Going to look you right in the face
You better get yourself together
Come and join the human race🪄
How in the world you gonna see?
Who on earth d’you think you are?
Laughing at a fool like me?
Superstar, right you are🪄
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Right you are, come on🪄
Instant karma’s gonna hit you
Gonna hit your back off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Every one you meet🪄
Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear?
Why on earth are you there?
You’re everywhere, come and get your share🪄
Well, we all shine on
With the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Everyone, come on, yeah🪄
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
