The End Of The World Lyrics
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything is the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything is the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.

Sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me
You can't beat the memories you gave-a me
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this
Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine
Memories are made of this
Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavor
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for the flavor
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you'll savor
See how the flavor stays
These are the dreams you'll savor
With his blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this

Top of the world - The Carpenters.
The Carpenters (officially named Carpenters)[1] were an American vocal and instrumental duo
consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter.
Together, they produced a distinctively soft musical style, later becoming one
of the best-selling music artists of all time. During their 14-year career,
the Carpenters recorded 11 albums, thirty-one singles, five television
specials, and a short-lived television series. They
were ended in 1983 by Karen’s death from heart
failure brought
on by complications of anorexia.
Extensive news coverage surrounding the circumstances of her death increased
public awareness of eating
disorders.[2][3]
The duo’s brand of melodic pop produced a record-breaking run of hit
recordings on the American
Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, and they became leading sellers in
the soft
rock, easy
listening and adult contemporary genres. Carpenters had three No. 1
singles and five No. 2 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and fifteen No. 1 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart. In addition, they had twelve top 10
singles. To date, Carpenters’ album and single sales total more than 100
million units.[4]

Top Of The World Lyrics
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

"Somebody
Loves You" was written by Tobias, Charles/de Rose, Peter.
Somebody loves you, I want you to know
Longs to be near you where ever you go
Somebody loves you and right from the start
Happiness flew into someone's heart
Somebody loves you each hour of

When you're around dear or when you're away
Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?
And that somebody is me
When you're around dear or when you're away
Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?
And that somebody is me
Somebody loves you each hour of

Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?

The original lyrics
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo - Shelby Flint
On every tree there sits a bird, singing
a song of love
On every tree there sits a
bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without
a word singing a song of love
A song of love is a sad song,
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of
woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad
song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and
watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love
again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A tear for him, a tear for
me, A tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for
me, and one for under the cedar tree
And one for where ever my
love my be, and then I shall weep no more
A song of love is a sad
song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of
woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad
song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and
watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow i'll probably love
again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
