El Condor Pasa
Simon and Garfunkle



Simon & Garfunkel Lyrics
"El Condor Pasa (If I Could)"

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
It's saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes, I would
If I could
I surely would

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes, I would
If I only could
I surely would​

Do You Wanna Dance
The Mamas and the Papas



Do you want to dance under the moon light
Squeeze me all through the night
Oh, baby, do you want to dance
Do you want to dance and hold my hand
Tell me I'm your lover man
Oh, baby, do you want to dance

Do you want to dance and make romance
C'mon pretty baby and take a chance
Hey, baby, baby, do you want to dance
do you want to dance
(Do you, do you, do you) do you want to dance
(Do you, do you, do you) do you want to dance

Do you want to dance under the moon light
Squeeze me all through the night
Oh, baby, do you want to dance
do you want to dance
(Do you, do you, do you) do you want to dance
(Do you, do you, do you) do you want to dance
Do you want to dance
(Do you want to dance)
Will you take a chance
(Do you want to dance)
Will hold my hand
(Do you want to dance)
And maybe let me be your lover man
(Do you want to dance)
Can I hold your hand
(Do you want to dance)
Let me be your lover man
(Do you want to dance)
Can I hold your hand
(Do you want to dance)​

Go Where You Wanna Go
The Mamas and the Papas



You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with
You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with

You don't understand
That a girl like me can love just one man
Three thousand miles, that's how far you'll go
And you said to me please don't follow
'Cause you gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with
You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with

You don't understand
That a girl like me can love just one man
You've been gone a week, and I tried so hard
Not to be the cryin' kind
Not to be the girl you left behind

You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with
You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with
You gotta go where you want to go
Do what you want to do
With whoever you want to do it with​

Got a Feelin'
The Mamas and the Papas



Got a feelin' that I wasting time on you babe
Got a feelin' that you're been untrue
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you
Baby, it's¯ true

Got a feelin' that you're playing some game with me babe
Got a feelin' that you just can't see
If you're entertaining any thought that you're gaining
By causing me all of this pain and making me blue
The joke on you

When I get to feeling that you're stealing love
And I don't know why, baby
It makes me so discouraged
I finally get the courage not to cry, babe
Or even try, babe

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe
Got a feelin' that you're been untrue
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you
Baby, it's true; the joke's on you
Baby it's true; the joke's on you

I Believe in Music
Mac Davis


I Believe in Music
Mac Davis
I could just sit around making music all day long
As long as I'm making my music ain't gonna do nobody no harm
And who knows maybe I'll come up with a song
To make people want to stop all this fussing and fighting
Long enough to sing along

I believe in music
I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in love

Music is love and love is music if you know what I mean
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen
So clap your hands and stomp your feet and shake those tambourines
Lift your voices to the sky tell me what you see.

I believe in music
I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in love

Music is the universal language, and love is the key
To peace hope and understanding, and living in harmony
So take your brother by the hand and come along with me
Lift your voices to the sky, tell me what you see

I believe in music
I believe in love
I believe in music
I believe in love​

I Am a Rock
Simon and Garfunkel



A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
But I've heard the words before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries​

One of my favorites to sing at Karaoke:

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel

Bridge over Troubled Water
Simon & Garfunkel
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (all)
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you (ooo)
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind​

 

[beautress]

I've also sung this one and love it very much:

The Sound of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel


Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence​

"Rhiannon"
("Fleetwood Mac" Version)

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?

Winner, winner, Chicken dinner!
I remember hearing that song a thousand times, but somehow didn't catch onto the words. So I know it, but don't know the words. It would sure be a great karaoke. It takes me 3 weeks to prepare a song I don't know the words to for singing. About a month ago, I started taking these "Brain support" tablets because lately I've had trouble focusing. I lost a sister, brother, husband, mother-in-law, and best friend in the space of 5 years, and I'm feeling so isolated and decided to be the best that I can be as a singer, because people like my voice for some reason. We moved to the Piney Woods to be near my sister in Walker County, Texas, and she got better for 7 years. Then my husband died in the summer of 2016, and my sister died about 5 months later 3 days after she and her husband moved to his inherited 3,000-acre ranch 40 miles from here. It's been a rough 3 years, and my best friend EJ died June 24 of this year, to make matters worse. Anyhow, I'm going to try to do Rhiannon, but I promise you, it will likely take me 4 weeks instead of 3 because I'm working on Carly Simon's "Let the River Run." and fighting asthma tooth and nail at the same time. That just means a 3- or 4-beat hold may just be 1 beat and count 2 or 3, accordingly. lol I've never had so much trouble with lungs as this past year--got pneumonia for a shot that was supposed to cover all 6 potential pneumonia types in 2018, and 3 days later had a 102-degree temperature Not only was I sick for over a month, I coughed my butt off for ever since then, which has been nigh onto a year. My doc finally gave me some stuff for allergic-related asthma, when she decided that was what was causing the extended hacking and coughing. Our allergies have been off the charts with a lot of precipitation, however, so that may be the true culprit. It's good to be able to sleep all night after taking it. I need to compare your lyrics with some I found, because on the second verse, the video had totally different wording than the Rhiannon lyrics above. I apologize if they're alike and will delete them if they are. lol Oh, and here is the story behind Rhiannon. I just had to know and found a link that takes you there: Fleetwood Mac: the story behind Rhiannon | Louder

Note: the words seem the same, but these are big enough for me to see them from 2'. Vision not my forte. It could be I just got off track and couldn't find my place on yours (?) As I said, Brain Support Supplements are for FOCUS, which have been an issue for well, most of my life, but it's especially hard when all the people you love who helped you through life are gone. You have to deal with it by yourself then.

LA DE DA
Ringo Starr

I live my life, it's only right,
'Cause I can't live your life for you
I'm satisfied, feeling high,
'Cause I found out just what to do.
Oh, you can bet I never let the things I get,
Get the best of me.
When I get blue, here's what I do and so can you,
It is no mystery when you sing.
La, La de da, like que sera, whatever la de da,
La de da, all you gotta say is la de da.

You don't need to cry
No reason why is ever good enough for me.
We can take a walk, just laugh and talk,
Whatever's going to be will be,
And when it rains I don't complain,
I'm like a train, I just keep rolling on.
Sometimes you lose, you blow a fuse,
You're not immune to what's been going on, sing along.
La La de da, like que sera, sera whatever la de da,
La de da, all you gotta say is la de da.

And when you're down, it can be found,
Turn it around, you know the remedy.
(You always get what you always get, you always get what you always get)
Just cut some slack, don't look back
'Cause it's a fact it will be okay, when you say
La, La de da, like que sera, sera, whatever la de da,
La de da, all you gotta say is la de da.
Oh yeah, just like Doris Day said que sera,
La, La de da, La, la de da, La, la de da.
All you gotta say is la de da.
All I got to say is, all we got to say is,
It's the only way is, la de da.
La, La de da, La, la de da. (more laladedas)

Musical karaoke by Nathan East.

"Sir Duke"

Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just because a record has a groove
Don't make it in the groove
But you can tell right away at letter A
When the people start to move

They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people
They can feel it all over
They can feel it all over people

Music knows it is and always will
Be one of the things that life just won't quit
But here are some of music's pioneers
That time will not allow us to forget
For there's Basie, Miller, Satchmo
And the king of all Sir Duke
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out
There's no way the band can lose

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people

This piece I rediscovered a couple of years ago, and it was hard. The very first time I sang it, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. But I kept on trying by singing it every other week until it was natural. It's not easy, but it's well worth the extra time you put into it to get it right, and I came out with a new respect for Christopher Cross when I did. It helps other people understand a difficult piece if you enunciate the words well. Not only that, but it's one of the best sea songs ever written since well, the traditional "Drunken Sailor" that makes me laugh every time I hear the Irish Rovers belting it out. My karaoke guy doens't have "drunken sailor". I bought a guitar last year but haven't opened it up yet...

Sailing
Christopher Cross

Sailing
Christopher Cross
Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing

All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
Believe me.

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free​

If you're feeling down

If you're all alone
When the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby, can't you see?
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me

Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby, can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me

Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba, ba, ba-ba
Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby, can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me​
