born April 21 1926: Queen Elizabeth GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

God save our gracious QueenLong live our noble Queen

God save the QueenSend her victoriousHappy and glorious

Long to reign over usGod save the Queen

O Lord our God, ariseScatter her enemiesAnd make them fall

Confound their politicsFrustrate their knavish tricksOn Thee our hopes we fix

God save us all

Not in this land aloneBut be God's mercies known

From shore to shoreLord make the nations seeThat all should kindred be

And form one familyThe wide world over

born Apr 3 1924 Doris DaySENTIMENTAL JOURNEY 1944

Gonna take a sentimental journeyGonna set my heart at ease

Gonna make a sentimental journeyTo renew old memories

Got my bag, I got my reservationSpent each dime I could affordLike a child in wild anticipationLong to hear that "All aboard!"

Seven!That's the time we leave

At sevenI'll be waiting up for heaven

Counting every mile of railroad track That takes me back

Never thought My heart could be so yearnyWhy did I decide to roam?

Gotta take this sentimental journeySentimental journey home

born Apr 4 1895 Arthur MurrayCHEEK TO CHEEK 1935

Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd the cares that hung around me

through the weekSeem to vanish

like a gambler’s lucky streakWhen we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheekOh, I love to go out fishing

in a river or a creekBut I don’t enjoy it half as much

as dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me

I want my arms about youThe charms about youWill carry me through

To Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing Dancing and romancing

Out together dancing cheek to cheek

born Apr 7 1915 Billie HolidayGOD BLESS THE CHILD 1941

Them that’s got shall getThem that’s not shall lose

So the Bible said and it still is newsMama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child that’s got his ownThat’s got his own

Yes, the strong gets moreWhile the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don’t ever make the gradeMama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child that’s got his ownThat’s got his own

Money, you’ve got lots of friendsCrowding round the door

When you’re gone, and spending endsThey don’t come no more

Rich relations giveCrust of bread and such

You can help yourselfBut don’t take too much

Mama may have, Papa may haveBut God bless the child that’s got his own

That’s got his own

born Apr 25 1918 Ella Fitzgeraldborn Apr 29 1899 Duke Ellington

I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT 1945

I never cared much for moonlit skiesI never wink back at fireflies

But now that the stars are in your eyesI'm beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglowOr candlelight on the mistletoe

But now when you turn the lamp down lowI'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the parkShadowboxing in the dark

Then you came and caused a sparkThat's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shineI never saw rainbows in my wine

But now that your lips are burning mineI'm beginning to see the light

ANGEL BAND 1862

My latest sun is sinking fastMy race is nearly run

My longest trials now are pastMy triumph has begun

Oh come, angel bandCome and around me stand

Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home


I know I'm near the holy ranks

Of friends and kindred dearI brush the dew on Jordan's banks

The crossing must be near




I've almost gained my heavenly home My spirit loudly sings

The holy ones, behold they come I hear the noise of wings

born Apr 14 1935 Loretta LynnDON'T COME HOME A-DRINKIN' 1966

Well you thought I'd be waitin' up When you came home last nightYou'd been out with all the boys

And you ended up half tightLiquor and love, they just don't mix

Leave that bottle or me behindAnd don't come home a drinkin'

With lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind

Just stay out there on the town And see what you can find

'Cause if you want that kind of love Well you don't need none of mine

So don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind

You never take me anywhereBecause you're always goneMany a night I've laid awake

And cried, dear, all aloneThen you come in a-kissin' on me

It happens every timeSo don't come home a drinkin'

With lovin' on your mind

No don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind

Just stay out there on the town And see what you can find

'Cause if you want that kind of love Well you don't need none of mine

So don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind

born Apr 16 1939 Dusty SpringfieldI ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU 1963

I don't know what it isThat makes me love you so

I only know I never want to let you go'Cause you've started something

Oh, can't you see?That ever since we met

You've had a hold on meIt happens to be true

I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you goOr what you doI want to spend

Each moment of the day with youOh, look what has happened

With just one kissI never knew that I could be

In love like thisIt's crazy but it's true


You stopped and smiled at meAnd asked if I'd care to dance

I fell into your open armsAnd I didn't stand a chance

Now listen honey

I just want to be beside you everywhere

As long as we're togetherHoney, I don't care

'Cause you've started somethingOh, can't you see?

That ever since we metYou've had a hold on meNo matter what you do

TOP HIT: #5 1966HOMEWARD BOUND

I'm sittin' in the railway stationGot a ticket for my destinationOn a tour of one-night-stands

My suitcase and guitar at handAnd every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band

Homeward bound, I wish I was Homeward bound

Home, where my thought's escapin'Home, where my music's playin'

Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

Every day's an endless dream Of cigarettes and magazines

And each town looks the same to meThe movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I see Reminds me that I long to be




Tonight I'll sing my songs againI'll play the game and pretend

But all my words come back to meIn shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmonyI need someone to comfort me




* * * * *

TOP HIT: #6 1966NOWHERE MAN

He's a real nowhere manSitting in his Nowhere Land

Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of viewKnows not where he's going toIsn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listenYou don't know what you're missing

Nowhere ManThe world is at your command

He's as blind as he can beJust sees what he wants to see

Nowhere Man, can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don't worryTake your time, don't hurry

Leave it all till somebody elseLends you a hand!

Doesn't have a point of viewKnows not where he's going toIsn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listenYou don't know what you're missing

Nowhere ManThe world is at your command

He's a real nowhere manSitting in his Nowhere Land

Making all his nowhere plans for nobodyMaking all his nowhere plans for nobodyMaking all his nowhere plans for nobody

born Apr 29 1933 Willie NelsonCRAZY

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonelyI'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

I knew you'd love me as long as you wantedAnd then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?Wondering what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold youI'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

And I'm crazy for loving you

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold youI'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

And I'm crazy for loving you.

May the Lord protect and defend youMay He always shield you from shame

May you come to beIn Israel a shining name

May you be like Ruth and like EstherMay you be deserving of praise

Strengthen them, oh LordAnd keep them from the stranger's ways

May God bless you and grant you long lives(May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.)

May God make you good mothers and wives(May He send you husbands who will care for you.)

May the Lord protect and defend youMay the Lord preserve you from pain

Favor them, oh Lord, with happiness and peaceOh hear our Sabbath prayer

Amen

born Apr 16 1924 Henry ManciniMOON RIVER 1961

Moon riverWider than a mile

I'm crossing you in style some day

Dream makerYou heart breaker

Wherever you're goingI'm going your way

Two driftersOff to see the world

There's such a lot of world to see

We're after the same rainbow's end

Waiting 'round the bendMy huckleberry friend

Moon riverAnd me

born Apr 21 1926 Queen ElizabethWE'LL MEET AGAIN 1939

We'll meet againDon't know whereDon't know when

But I know we'll meet again Some sunny day

Keep smiling throughJust like you always do

Till the blue skies chase those Dark clouds far away

So will you please say hello To the folks that I knowTell them I won't be longThey'll be happy to know That as you saw me goI was singing this song

We'll meet againDon't know whereDon't know when

But I know we'll meet again Some sunny day
