On Top Of The World

If you love somebody
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause
They may just run away from you
Solo 2 ‘or’ part 2
You’ll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you
All
I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
Now take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
I’m on top of the world, ‘ay
Been waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world
‘Bright Happy Day’
With vocals
Backing track
Woke up this mornin’, I’m feelin’ all right.
A new day is dawnin’. Not a cloud in sight. I’ve got a smile, smile, smile upon my face. And it’s such a bright, bright, bright happy day.
Yesterday’s sorrows are all in the past.
There’s always tomorrow. So they never last. I put a smile, smile, smile upon my face.
And I have a bright, bright, bright happy day. Bright happy day.
Sooner or later the blues come around.
You’ve gotta face ’em. They won’t get you down. If you put a smile, smile, smile upon your face. You’ll have a bright, bright, bright happy day.
You get the message. It’s all up to you.
For worse or for better, you get to choose.
Just put a smile, smile, smile upon your face.
And you’ll have a bright, bright, bright happy day.
So just put a smile, smile, smile upon your face. And you’ll have a bright, bright, bright happy day. Bright happy day.
Bright happy day.
Bright happy day.
Happy day!

Backing track
All my bags are packed I’m ready to go.
I’m standing here outside your door.
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn.
The Didi’s waitin, he’s blowing his horn.
Already I’m so sad to say goodbye.
So hug me and smile for me.
Tell me that you’ll remember me.
Hug me like you’ll never let me go.
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;
Don’t know when I’ll be back again.
NIS, I hate to have to go.
There’s so many times i’ve let you down
So many times i’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing.
Every place I go I’ll think of you
Every song I sing I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll give you all a big hug.
So hug me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll remember for me.
Hold me like you’ll never let me go…
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;
Don’t know when I’ll be back again.
NIS, I hate to have to go.
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me hug you
Then close your eyes and i’ll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times I won’t have to say
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;
Don’t know when I’ll be back again.
NIS, I hate to have to go.
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;
Don’t know when I’ll be back again.
NIS, I hate to have to go.
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane;
Don’t know when I’ll be back again.
NIS, I hate to have to go.

Had to have high, high hopes for a liviing,

Didn’t have a dime, but I always had a vision.
Always had high, high hopes.

Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling.
I was goinna be that one in a million.
Always had high, high hopes.
Mama said, “Fulfill the prophecy.
Be something great. Go make a legacy.”
Manifest destiny. Back in the days,
We wanted ev’ry thing, wanted ev’ry thing.
Mama said, “Burn your biographies.
Rewrite your history. Light up your wildest dreams.”
Museum victories, every day.
We wanted ev’rything, wanted ev’rything.
Mama said, “Don’t give up.
It’s a little complicated.
All tied up, no more love,
And I’d hate to see you waiting.”
Had to have high, high hopes for a liviing,
shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing.
Didn’t have a dime, but I always had a vision.
Always had high, high hopes.

Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling.
I was goinna be that one in a million.

‘Cause the dreams bring back all the memories of
ev’rything we’ve been through.
Close to the ones here today.

and the memories bring back, memories bring back you.
There’a a time that I remember
Doot doo doot, doot.
When I did not know my pain,
Doot doo doot, doot.
When I believed in forever,
Doot doo doot, doot.
And ev’rything would stay the same.
Doot doo doot, doot.
Now my heart feel like December
There’a a time that I remember
Doot doo doot, doot.
When I never felt so lost,

When I felt that all the hatred
Doot doo doot, doot.
Was too powerful to stop.
Doot doo doot, doot.

What else can I do
With all vocals
Backing track
PS choir’s part with Ms. Keus’ voice (shouting out of part 1 words)
Something sharp, something new
It’s not symmetrical or perfect
But it’s beautiful and it’s mine
What else can I do?
Good talk,
Let’s walk,
Free hugs,
Flor de mayo, by the mile
So much hides behind my smile
Do you know where you’re going?
What could I do if I just knew it didn’t need to be perfect?
It just needed to be? And they’d let me be?
Strangling figs
And I push through
What else can I do?
All I know are the blossoms you grow
How far can you rise?
Through the roof, to the skies
Let’s go
Strangling figs
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else, what else?
Seize the moment, keep goin’
What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?
But I’ll still be okay
Hey, everybody clear the way,
Making waves
I owe this all to you
What else can I do?
Show ’em what you can do
What else can I do?
There’s nothing you can’t do
What else can I do?

Silent night
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at thy birth
Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
Away in a manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.
And stay by my side till morning is nigh.
We three kings
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Following yonder star.
Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Following yonder star.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star of royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Following yonder star.
Joy to the world
Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders of His love

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
And a cup of good cheer
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
So bring it right here
So bring us some figgy pudding
So bring us some figgy pudding
So bring us some figgy pudding
And bring it right here
Good tidings we bring
To you and your king
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

All I had to do was get it in my head, and then my heartbeat (thump thump) followed along with my bones.

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged, oh I realize
It’s hard to take courage
Duet
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness there inside you
Makes you feel so small
ALL
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow (canon in 2 parts)
Solo
Show me a smile then
Don’t be unhappy
Can’t remember when
I last saw you laughing
Duet
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bare
Then call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
ALL
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow (canon in 2 parts)
I see your true colors.
