The #1 song from 50 years ago was Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were" which went on to become the #1 song ofthe year. __________________ The Way We Were Songwriters: Marvin Hamlisch, Marilyn Bergman and Alan Bergman
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

Cynthia Erivo singing one of her own songs, "Glowing Up". ________________ Glowing Up Songwriters:  Sean Maxwell Douglas and Cynthia Erivo
Staring to see a picture of me But it's too hard to look in my eyes I know I'm ashamed I might find what I left behind What I worked for so long to hide But in the end I know what's incredible Is the chance to change myself
'Cause diamonds don't shine 'Til they been buried alive, oh But I've been in the rough for long enough Tonight I'm glowing up And diamonds can't sparkle 'Til they find light they can follow The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Glowing up
Scared at the sight of the sun's dying light We recoil at the cold of the night And though we forget that the moon and the stars will come soon And we'll bath in the warmth of their light I still remember the time when each day was for crying Oh I truly hold them dear They're the storm that got me here
'Cause diamonds don't shine (they don't shine no) 'Til they been buried alive, oh (oh) But I've been in the rough for long enough Tonight I'm glowing up (glowing up) And diamonds can't sparkle (they don't sparkle) 'Til they find light they can follow (oh) The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Glowing up
Might not escape all the pressure the pain But I'll never fade away I've got too much left to say
'Cause diamonds don't shine Diamond's can't sparkle I've been in the rough for long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up And diamonds can't sparkle (they don't sparkle) 'Til they find light they can follow (oh) The pressure gets tough for just long enough Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up Glowing up

You come on like a dream, peaches and cream, Lips like strawberry wine. You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine. (mine, all mine)
You're all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl, Eyes that sparkle and shine. You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine. (Mine, all mine, mine, mine)
You're my baby, you're my pet, We fell in love on the night we met. You touched my hand, my heart went pop, Ooh, when we kissed, I could not stop.
You walked out of my dreams, into my arms, Now you're my angel divine. You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine.

Linda Ronstadt performing “Heart Like a Wheel” on The Midnight Special in 1975. _____________________ Heart Like a Wheel Songwriter: Anna McGarrigle
Some say the heart is just like a wheel When you bend it you can't mend it But my love for you is like a sinking ship And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
When harm is done no love can be won I know it happens frequently What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand Why it had to happen to me
And it's only love and it's only love That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
Some say the heart is just like a wheel When you bend it you can't mend it But my love for you is like a sinking ship And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

Richard Thompson and Jo-El Sonnier performing "Tear Stained Letter" in 1990. ___________________ Tear Stained Letter Songwriter: Richard Thompson
It was three in the morning when she took me apart She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart She danced on my head like Arthur Murray The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her Right through the door come a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh love love Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh love love love Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Well my head was beating like a song by The Clash It was writing cheques that my body couldn't cash Got to my feet, I was reeling and dizzy I went for the 'phone but the line was busy
Just when I thought that things would get better Right through the door come a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh love love Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh love love love love Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
Well I like coffee and I like tea But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of fives
Just when I think I could learn to forget her Right through the door come a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh love love love Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh love love Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter Oh, oh, oh Cry, cry if it makes you feel better Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

When I first saw you, I saw love And the first time you touched me, I felt love And after all this time You're still the one I love Mm, yeah
Looks like we made it Look how far we've come my baby We mighta took the long way We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together, still going strong

Ain't nothing better We beat the odds together I'm glad we didn't listen Look at what we would be missing
They said, "I bet they'll never make it" But just look at us holding on We're still together, still going strong
(You're still the one) You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life (You're still the one) You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss goodnight You're still the one
(Yeah, you're still the one) You're still the one I run to The one that I belong to You're still the one I want for life (Ooh, you're still the one) You're still the one that I love The only one I dream of You're still the one I kiss goodnight

Goose with Bruce Hornsby performing "The Way It Is". ________________ The Way It Is Songwriter: Bruce Hornsby
Standing line marking time Waiting for the welfare dime 'Cause they can't buy a job The man in the silk suit hurries by As he catches the poor old lady's eyes Just for fun he says, "Get a job"
That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but don't you believe them
Said, "Hey little boy you can't go Where the others go" Cause you don't look like they do' Said, "Hey, old man how can you stand To think that way"
"Did you really think about it Before you made the rules?" He said, "Son that's just the way it is"
Some things will never change That's just the way it is
Ha, but don't you believe them Ooo, yeah
Well, they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got, a little more But it only goes so far
'Cause the law don't change another's mind When all it sees at the hiring time Is the line on the color bar But who knows That's just the way it is Some things'll never change That's just the way it is Oh Don't you believe

Miley Cyrus covering Journey's "Faithfully". _________________ Faithfully Songwriter: Jonathan Cain
Highway run into the midnight sun Wheels go 'round and 'round, you're on my mind Restless hearts, sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love along the wire
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family Right down the line, it's been you and me And lovin' a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be Oh, girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully
Circus life under the big-top world We all need the clowns to make us smile Through space and time, always another show Wonderin' where I am lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh, girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours Faithfully
Whoa-oh, oh-oh Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Faithfully I'm still yours
I'm forever yours Forever yours Faithfully

"The Green Fields of France" performed by Niall Hanna and Niamh Farrell. ____________________________ The Green Fields of France Songwriter: Eric Bogle
Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride? Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside? And rest for a while in the warm summer sun I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen When you joined the great fallen in 1916 I hope you died well and I hope you died clean Or young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the life lowly? Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down? Did the band play The Last Post in chorus? Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
Did you leave a wife or sweetheart behind In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined? Although you died back in 1916 In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen? Or are you a stranger without even a name Enclosed in forever behind the glass frame In an old photograph, torn, battered and stained And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame?
The sun now it shines on the green fields of France There's a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance And look how the sun shines from under the clouds There's no gas, no barbed wire, there's no guns firing now But here in this graveyard it's still No Man's Land The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand To man's blind indifference to his fellow man To a whole generation that were butchered and damned
Ah young Willie McBride, I can't help wonder why Do those that lie here know why did they die? And did they believe when the answered the cause Did they really believe that this war would end wars? Well the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and dying, were all done in vain For young Willie McBride, it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again

John Prine and Marty Stuart performing "Souvenirs". ______________ Souvenirs Songwriter: John Prine
All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they robbed me Of my childhood souvenirs
Memories, they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well, it took me years to get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me
Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this morning Always look the same to me And I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they robbed me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs
Memories, they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well, it took me years to get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me
