When the world was on my shoulders
& all hope for tomorrow was gone
You took my hand &, baby
You made me see there's a future for me
CHORUS:
I can make it with you, baby
I can make it with you
I can make it with you by my side
& when all life had lost its meaning
When my dreams had been shattered by time
You touched my hand &, baby
You made me see there's a future for me
(chorus)
I remember when I was down
I'd been lost, but I've been found
(repeat chorus & fade)
Brighton Hill
(Jackie DeShannon/J. Holiday/R. Myers)
Brighton Hill, where the sky changes its color
Hopes are high, there's no other place I'd rather be
Find your dream by a tree out in the meadow
Where the flowers are yellow, life is what it seems
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me
Anybody goin' that way?
Brighton Hill is a friend & will be
Till my dying day
Till my dying day
I've got a lot of livin' to do
I've got a lot of livin' to do
Brighton Hill, with its green fields of clover
That's where kindness reigns over everything around
& livin' good on a bicycle Sunday
You can have such a fun day up on Brighton Hill
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me
Anybody goin' that way?
Brighton Hill is a friend & will be
Till my dying day
Anybody goin' that way?
Brighton Hill, a feelin' within me
Anybody goin' that way?

Holly Would
(Jackie DeShannon)
She loved rings & string
Like music rite of spring
She'd often choose it
She spoke like greetings soaked in time
Her autumn-colored hair was fine
She wore cottons quite a lot
She loved dark tea & coffee pot
She lived with a dog & cat
Forever yours & after that
CHORUS:
I remember that to Holly everyone was good
No one has ever loved the way Holly could
She never cared about herself the way she should
No one will ever treat you like Holly would
She collected dolls up-dressed
& always spoke of her friend Yasmine
She was fond of poetry
Durelvion Cummings, E.E.
She loved riding in a train
& "catch me" was her favorite game
She loved the yard, Bernard & Clay
She only ate one meal a day
(chorus twice)
Love Will Find A Way
(Jackie DeShannon/J. Holiday/R. Myers)
CHORUS:
There can be a new tomorrow
There can be a brighter day
There can be a new tomorrow
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
The days go passing by & we try
To live life so carefree
Wondering what is real, do you feel
There's change that should be
In the air, what we wear
Let's hold on & keep love strong
(chorus)
We're livin' in a time where you find
We must share the burden
It's a heavy load on a road
That is so uncertain
It may seem we're chasin' dreams
But let's hold on & keep love strong
(chorus, then repeat its 1st 2 lines & fade)
