by Neil Young
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleeping
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon rising
Let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye

I Can Remember
by Eric Carmen
I can remember
Summer skies and your eyes
And in September
When I first realized
That I needed you to be
The other half of me
And my love long-locked inside itself
Had finally been set free
I can remember
Autumm skies and good-byes
Hurting so badly
That I thought I would die
But the more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
And the lonely ones get lonelier
With every passing day
From the day we met
I knew that I should never let you
Get a hold on me
'Cause now you see, I can't forget you
Oh, I can remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
In the spring the sun will shine
And make the ice surrender
But it will not warm my heart
As long as I remember
And I will remember midsummer skies
Love in your eyes
And I will remember the times I've cried
Since you say good-bye
I nearly died when you said
'I can't let you down anymore
'So I guess this is good-bye'
What did you do it for?
Every time I think of you and him together
I break down and cry
Oh, I can remember the tears I've cried
Since you say good-bye

I'll See You in My Dreams
by Gus Kahn
Though the days are long
Twilight sings a song
Of a happiness that used to be
Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me
I'll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
In the dreary gray
Of another day
You are far away and I am blue
Still I hope and pray
Through each weary day
For it brings the night and dreams of you

Some Enchanted Evening
by Oscar Hammerstein II
Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger
You may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again
Some enchanted evening
Someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing
Across a crowded room
And night after night
As strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter
Will sing in your dreams
Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons
Wise men never try
Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love
When you feel her call you
Across a crowded room
Then fly to her side
And make her your own
Or all through your life
You may dream all alone
Once you have found her
Never let her go
Once you have found her
Never let her go

Midwest Midnight
by Michael Stanley
With thirteen lovers I hid beneath the covers
Got staples in my hands for my time
With the radio low so the folks don't know
I proceed with my passionate crime
Though somewhat obtuse, I've been told this abuse
Will more than likely make me go blind
But with a heart that's aching, it's a risk worth taking
'Cause true love, they say, is so hard to find
Why can't she see what she's doing to me
If that bandstand girl only was here
And I'm living the dream, getting lost on the screen
Doing Presley in front of the mirror
Hanging around, getting high on the sounds
Of the ladies and electric guitars
Cross a double yellow line to who knows where
With six sets of glory a night in some bar
Midwest midnight
Ten thousand watts of holy light
From my radio so clear
Bodies glistening
Everybody's listening
As the man plays all the hits that you want to hear
With a will to believe, and my songs on my sleeve
If only I'd known from the start
Such a sensitive toy, for a suburban boy
Who believed he was suffering for art
Then something went wrong, and he watched as his songs
Met a slow death of silence, but worse
He was taken to task, by some critic who asked
'Do you write the words or lyrics first?'
I hear them calling
'Boy, you should be grateful
'To get your foot inside the door
'You know there's thousands out there
'Who would take your place
'This attitude of yours, my son,
'It lacks the due respect
'You bite the hand that feeds you
'Even if you're never fed'
Chasing the fame keeps them all in the game
But money's still the way they keep score
And nobody told you that you would get older
Strung out like some avenue whore
Waiting release, getting shot through the grease
Some L.A. madonna's maligned
And New York's calling just to see if you've heard
About the great English band they just signed
Take me back to midwest midnight
Ten thousand watts of holy light
From my radio so clear
Bodies glistening
Is anybody listening?
Does the man still play all the hits that you want to hear?

Don't Forget the Sun
by Jason Brewer
We do the days together
We spend the nights apart
And don't forget the sun
You've kept me warm since the beginning
I owe you the world and what's in it
And don't forget the sun
It's not the only one
But it's the closest to your heart
I wish that summer
Could stay on for one more hour
I wish that summer sun
Would last the whole year on
