What A Wonderful World.
I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you, And I think to myself, What a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white, The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights, And I think to myself, What a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow, So pretty in the sky, Are also on the faces, Of people going by. I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?” They’re really saying, “I love you”. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow. They’ll learn much more, Than I’ll ever know, And I think to myself, What a wonderful world. Yes, I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
Lyrics: Rhythm & blues songwriter Ferdinand Washington and American record label executive, songwriter, and record producer Don Robey (published 1954). Vocals: American Rhythm & blues and soul singer Aaron Neville.
Pledging My Love.
Forever my darling, our love will be true, Always and forever, I’ll love only you. Just promise me darling, your love in return, May this fire in my soul dear, forever burn. My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold, Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal. I’ll forever love you for the rest of my days, I’ll never part from you and your loving ways. My hearts at your command dear, to keep love and to hold, Making you happy is my desire dear, keeping you is my goal. I’ll forever love you for the rest of my days, I’ll never part from you and your loving ways.

The Pilgrim.
See him wasted on the side walk in his jacket and his jeans, Wearing yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile. Once he had a future full of money love and dreams, Which he spent like they was going out of style. And he keeps right on a changing for the better or the worse, Searching for a shrine he’s never found, Never knowing if believing is a blessing or a curse, Or if the going up is worth to coming down. He’s a poet he’s a picker he’s a prophet he’s a pusher, He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned. He’s a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction, Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home. He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars, And he’s traded in tomorrow for today. Running from his devils Lord and reaching for the stars, And losing all he loved along the way. But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse, All he ever gets is older and around. From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse, The going up was worth the coming down. He’s a poet he’s a picker he’s a prophet he’s a pusher, He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned. He’s a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction, Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home. There’s lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

Make You Feel My Love.
When the rain’s blowing in your face, And the whole world is on your case, I would offer you a warm embrace, To make you feel my love. The evening shadows and the stars appear, And there is no one to dry your tears, I could hold you for a million years, To make you feel my love. Though you haven’t made your mind up yet, But I would never do you wrong, I’ve known it from the moment that we met, No doubt in my mind where you belong. I’d go hungry, I’d go black and blue, I’d go crawling down the avenue, There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do, To make you feel my love. Storms are raging on a rolling sea, Down the highway of regret. The winds of change are blowing wild and free, yeah, But you ain’t seen nothing like me yet. There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do, Go to the ends of the earth for you, Make you happy, make your dreams come true, To make you feel my love.
Lyrics: Singer-songwriter Shunie Crampsey. Vocals: Country singer and local radio presenter David James joined by Irish singer, Daniel Francis Noel O’DonnellMBE.
Don’t Take The Good Times For Granted.
I met with an old friend last evening, And I mentioned concerns that I had, About things that unfurled and the ways of the world, And how sometimes it makes me feel sad. I said life can be so complicated, And I’m scared I might lose my way, When a friendly hand pressed on my shoulder, He smiled and I heard him say. Son, don’t take the good times for granted, For things keep on changing each day. Make time to be with the ones that you love, Let nothing stand in your way. We don’t know what waits round the corner, We never know what lies ahead, So, if just for a moment, forget all your troubles, And count all your blessings instead. I often dream of the future, And of all of the things I might do, Son, follow your heart, Cause if you never dream, Your dreams they can never come true. Should you choose a road that’s less travelled, Just know I’ll be there to the end, You’re not just a shoulder to lean on, I thank you for being my friend. Don’t take the good times for granted, For things keep on changing each day, Make time to be with the ones that you love, Let nothing stand in your way. We don’t know what waits round the corner, We never know what lies ahead, So just for a moment forget all your troubles, And count all your blessings instead. So, don’t take the good times for granted, For things keep on changing each day, Make time to be with the ones that you love, Let nothing stand in your way. We don’t know what waits round the corner, We never know what lies ahead, So just for a moment forget all your troubles, And count all your blessings instead. So just for a moment forget all your troubles, And count all your blessings instead.
