I Just Haven’t Met You Yet

sung by Michael Buble

(Dedicated to my friends and my new friends and to the friends I haven’t met yet. Kate)

I’m not surprised, not everything lasts
I’ve broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up then I let myself down

I tried so very hard not to loose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility

And I know some day that it’ll all turn out
You’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that I give so much more than I get
I just haven’t met you yet

I might have to wait, I’ll never give up
I guess it’s half timin and the other half’s luck
Wherever you are, whenever it’s right
You’ll come outta nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazin
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Somehow I know that it’ll all turn out
You’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid I’ll give so much more than I get
I just haven’t met you yet

They say all’s fair in love and war
But I won’t need to fight it
We’ll get it right and we’ll be united

And I know that we can be so amazin
And bein in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility

And someday I know it’ll all turn out
And I’ll work to work it out
Promise you kid I’ll give more than I get

Oh you know it’ll all turn out
And you’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid to give so much more than I get yeah
I just haven’t met you yet

I just haven’t met you yet
Oh promise you kid to give so much more than I get
I said love love love love love love love
I just haven’t met you yet

Are You Having Any Fun?

sung by Tony Bennett and Elvis Costello

Hey fellow with a million smackers
And nervous indigestion
Rich fellow, eats milk and crackers
I’ll ask you one question
You silly so and so
With all your dough….

Are you havin’ any fun?
What y’gettin’ out o’ livin’?
What good is what you’ve got
If you’re not havin’ any fun?

Are you havin’ any laughs?
Are you gettin’ any lovin’?
If other people do,
So can you, have a little fun

After the honey’s in the cone
Little bees go out and play
Even the old grey mare down home
Has got to have hay….HEY!

You better have some fun
You ain’t gonna live forever
Before you’re old and gray, feel okay
Have your little fun, son!
Have your little fun!

Why do you work and slave and save?
Life is full of ifs and buts
You know the squirrels save and save
And what have they got…..NUTS!

Better have a little fun
You ain’t gonna live forever
Before you’re old and grey, still okay
Have your little fun, son!
Have your little fun!
Are you havin’ any fun?

Lucky

sung by Kat Edmonson

(on Austin City Limits)

Happiness
Feels like this
Your heart upon your sleeve
There’s a place
In time and space
Where we can all be free

So meet me at the rainbow’s end
We don’t even have to pretend
That we know what it is we’re looking for
We’re looking for

Life is just a dream
Lucky you
Lucky lucky me

Life is just a dream
Lucky you
Lucky lucky me

Have you found
Higher ground
Or are you lost at sea
Do you know
Where you go
Is where I want to be

So cast your troubles into the sky
They can be the stars in our eyes
And we can count them on another day
From far away

Life is just a dream
Lucky you
Lucky lucky me

Life is just a dream
Lucky you
Lucky lucky me

Skyscraper

Written by Toby Gad, Kerli Kõiv and Lindy Robbins

Song suggested by Evan, at Being Elle. Thanks Evan!

sung by Demi Lovato

Boyce Avenue featuring Megan Nicole.

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it’s ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like, there’s nothing left of me?You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraperAs the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken, but I’m standing on my feet

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper

Go run run run I’m gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it’s a long way down
But I’m closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

Stronger

Kelly Clarkson

Dark Side/Stronger on Dancing with the Stars

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you’ve had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I’d come running back
Baby you don’t know me, cause you’re dead wrong

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you

You didn’t think that I’d come back
I’d come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I’m not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I’m finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end…

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone
What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn’t mean I’m over cause you’re gone

[2x]
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone

(When I’m alone)

Wild Horses

sung by Natasha Bedingfield

Hmmm woah yea…

I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I’m looking out… hmm
Is this my life I’m wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I’m thinking about hmm
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I’ll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I’m longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Hoohhh woah woah

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I’ll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I’m longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
Oh yeah yea

I wanna run too.
Hohhh woah oh woah oh

Breaklessly abandoning my self before you

I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel

[Chorus:]
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I’ll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I’m longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses! [X2]
Hooaah woah oh woah
Yeah

I wanna run with the wild horses

Seven Days

sung by Azure Day

Seven Days of low worth
Keep me hovering above the ground
The nights just blend into the morning
Definition is the first to go down

If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I’m bound
So I can’t stay in between us
Guess I’ll walk away

I’m here to read the future
But forced to breathe out the past
And too many conversations
To uncover what was purposefully lost

I know we all look so desperate
Showing the guidance that we lack
And we used to be so wistful
I guess we feel it’s safer holding back

If I were to stay here between us
I might forget where I’m bound
So I can’t stay in between us
Guess I’ll walk away

Life is a Highway

Sung by Rascal Flatts:

Sung on Dancing with the Stars:

Whooo umm yeah…
Life’s like a road that you travel on
When there’s one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There’s a world outside ev’ry darkened door
Where blues won’t haunt you anymore
Where brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won’t hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There’s not much time left today

[Chorus:]
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It’s in my blood and it’s all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver’s lights

Knock me down get back up again
You’re in my blood
I’m not a lonely man
There’s no load I can’t hold
Road so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Just tell ‘em we’re survivors

[Chorus]

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

[Chorus]

There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye

Ooooo…Yeah!

There ain’t no load that I can’t hold
Road so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Just tell ‘em we’re survivors

[Chorus: (x3)]
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

Hope

Sung by Chad Brownlee

we march as one in a scattered line,
a world of doubt and some shattered minds.
i know there’ll be that moment we find our way.

right now i’m facing a changing time.
the air is thick, but illusions find their way
inside, holding us back from the truth.

and I wanna believe
theres a change on the way and a voice in the wind.
and i, i wanna see,
when i look to the sky, the phoenix rise.

then there’s hope.

if i could i would fix it all.
i’m just a man with a simple song, a band of one,
but words can be so strong.

a revolution is taking place.
a peaceful army could wash away and drown
the hurt that causes so much pain.

and i wanna believe
there’s a change on the way and a voice in the wind.
and i, i wanna see,
when i look to the sky, the phoenix rise.

then there’s hope.
then there’s hope.

i wanna believe
there’s a change on the way and a voice in the wind.
and i, i wanna see,
when i look to the sky, the phoenix rising.

oh then there’s hope.
then there’s hope.
