While I'm far away from you my baby
I know it's hard for you my baby
Because it's hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love

Life can never be
Exactly like we want it to be
It makes me happy
Just knowing that you love me
There's one thing I want you to do
Especially for me
And it's something that everybody needs

Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go

So won't you stay and love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make them turn their heads
Every place we go

So won't you be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

So won't you be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

I'll make you happy baby
Just wait and see
For every kiss you give me
I'll give you three

Oh since the day I saw you
I have been waiting for you
You know I will look for you
Till eternity

So come on and be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

So won't you be (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

So won't you please (be my be my baby)
Be my little baby (my one and only baby)
Say you'll be my darling (be my be my baby)
Be my baby now (my one and only baby)

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room

Do my dreaming
And my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying
And my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room

Devoted to You

Darling you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you

I'll be yours through endless time
I'll adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that I'm
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

I'll never hurt you
I'll never lie
I'll never be untrue
I'll never give you reason to cry
I'd be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you

Baby I Love You

Have I ever told you
How good it feels to hold you
It isn't easy to explain

And though I really keep trying
I think I may start crying
My heart can't wait another day
When you kiss me I just got to say

Baby I love you (come on baby)
Baby I love you (ooo-wee baby)
Baby I love only you (baby I love only you)

I can't live without you
I love everything about you
I can't help it if I feel this way

Though I'm so glad I found you
I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh tell me that you feel the same

Baby I love you (come on baby)
Baby I love you (ooo-wee baby)
Baby I love only you (baby I love only you)

Angel Baby

written by Rosalie Hamlin

It's just like heaven
Being here with you
You're like an angel
Too good to be true
But after all I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby

When you are near me
My heart skips a beat
I can hardly stand on
My own two feet
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby

Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one could love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo

Please never leave me
Blue and alone
If you ever go
I'm sure you'll come back home
Because I love you I love you I do
Angel baby, my angel baby
 
Ooh I love you, ooh I do
No one can love you like I do
Ooooo
Ooo Ooo Ooo

We Will Rock You

written by Brian May
© Queen Music Ltd (BMI)

Buddy you're a boy
Make a big noise
Playing in the street
Gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place

Singing we will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you

Buddy you're a young man
Hard man
Shouting in the street
Gonna take on the world someday
You got blood on your face
Big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

Singing we will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you

Buddy you're an old man
Poor man
Pleading with your eyes
Gonna make you some peace someday
You got mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place

Singing we will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you
We will, we will rock you

Winter Light

Hearts call
Hearts fall
Swallowed in the rain
 
Who knows
Life grows
Hollow and so vain
 
Wandering in the winter light
The wicked and the sane
Bear witness to salvation
And life starts over again
 
Now the clear sky is all around you
Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night
 
Star glowing in the twilight
Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too
 
Ah ah ah
 
Now the clear sky is all around you
Aah aah
Love's shadow will surround you
All through the night
 
Star glowing in the twilight
Tell me true
Hope whispers and I will follow
Till you love me too
 
Ah ah ah

Brahms' Lullaby

written by Johannes Brahms

Lullaby and good night
In the sky stars are bright
Close your eyes
Start to yawn
Pleasant dreams until the dawn

Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blest

Close your eyes now and rest
Lay your head on my breast
Go to sleep now and rest
May your slumber be blest

Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for you
Dream sweet dreams for me

Goodnight
Goodnight baby
