Lyrics:
Love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more.
It's just like a magic penny, Hold it tight and you won't have any.
Lend it, spend it, and you'll have so many They'll roll all over the floor.
For love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more.
Money's dandy and we like to use it, But love is better if you don't refuse it.
It's a treasure and you'll never lose it Unless you lock up your door.
For love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more.
So let's go dancing till the break of day, And if there's a piper, we can pay.
For love is something if you give it away, You end up having more.
For love is something if you give it away, Give it away, give it away.
Love is something if you give it away, You end up having more,
You end up having more, You end up having more.
Mister Romano, Piero
Lyrics by Francis Scott Key
Music by John Stafford Smith
Oh, say can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave!

Sing Happy New Year, Gung Hay Fat Choy
1. The new moon tells us, exactly when
(hold up one hand in C shape for crescent moon)
To celebrate with family and friends
(clap hands in rhythm)
2. Clean up the house and get out the broom
(pretend to sweep)
Sweep out the old year, bring in the new
3. Bring out the apples, the oranges too
(hold out one fist, then the other)
Their colors bring us joy and good luck too
4. The dragon dances, the lanterns light
(place hands together, and snake around )
The firecrackers light up the night
(alternate right and left fist out with fingers opening quickly
to mimic shooting fireworks).

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
“A Whole New World”
Tim Rice / Alan Menken
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Il-9TTNtmI
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
A hundred thousand things to see
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back.
I’m in a whole new world
With new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
“The Wind Beneath My Wings”
Jeff Silbar / Larry Henley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7uryK_Mb68
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh…
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face___
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind___
So I was the one with all the glory___
While you were the one with all the strength___
A beautiful face without a name for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain___
Did you ever know that you're my hero___
And everything I would like to be?___
I can fly higher than an eagle,___
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.___
It might have appeared to go unnoticed___
But I've got it all here in my heart___
I want you to know I know the truth,
of course I know it___
I would be nothing without you___
Did you ever know that you're my hero,___
And everything I wish I could be?___
I could fly higher than an eagle,___
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero,___
You're everything, everything I wish I could be?___
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,___
'Cause you are the wind___
beneath my wings.___
Fly,___ fly,__fly___away, you let me fly so high___
Oh, Fly, ___fly,___fly___high against the sky
So high I almost touch the sky
Thank you, thank you,
Thank you, You are the wind beneath my wings___

“How Far I’ll Go”
Songwriters: Lin-manuel Miranda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPAbx5kgCJo
I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try
Every turn I take, Every trail I track
Every path I make, Every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go Where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, How far it goes___
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me, One day I'll know
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go___
I know everybody on this island
Seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island
Has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along, But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?___
See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
But no one knows, How deep it goes___
And it seems like it's calling out to me So come find me
And let me know, What's beyond that line? Will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, How far it goes___
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know,___ How far I'll go___
Can’t Stop The Feeling”

***I got this feelin' inside my bones
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flyin' up, no ceilin', when we in our zone
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, movin' so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothin' I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
Feel a good, good creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
***Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushin' on (rushin' on)
I don't need no reason, don't need control
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop (stop, stop, stop)
Under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you
When you dance, dance, dance
Feel a good, good, creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin' (yeah)
Break it down
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin' (yeah)
Got this feelin' in my body
Got this feelin' in my body
Got this feelin' in my body, come on___
