Top of the World

TITLE: Top of the World

Lyrics and Chords

Such a feelin's coming over me
There is wonder in most everything 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 coming 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

{Refrain}
I'm on the top of the world looking 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

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling 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

{Refrain twice}

My Favorite Things

Sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music

My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells
And schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winter that melts into spring
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel...so bad

When You're Smiling

Bro and Sis-in-Law started to hum this song today, thought it was indeed inspirational..enjoy friends..

================================================
When You're Smiling

Written by Shay, Fisher, and Goodwin
as performed by Louis Armstrong
Recorded with his Orchestra on
September 10, 1929, and again in 1932.
Then with his All Stars in 1956.


When you're smilin', keep on smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
And when you're laughin', keep on laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through
But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop your frownin', be happy again

Cause when you're smilin', keep on smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

[instrumental break]
Oh when you're smilin', keep on smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

Ah when you're laughin', keep on laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through
Now when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that sighin', be happy again

Cause when you're smilin', just keep on smilin'
And the whole world gonna smile with,
The great big world will smile with,
The whole wide world will smile with you.

Grow Old With You

This song somehow reminded me of the love Dr. Wee had for his wife of 69 years...he definitely had the below feeling when he decided to take the hands of Mrs. Wee 69 years ago...which till the last day..he held her hands firmly...before he finally let go..to be eternally "growing old with you" looking over her.. :)

"Give a little..take a little.."

Title: Grow Old With You

Grow old with you

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All i wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
I'll kiss you
Give you my coat
when you are cold
I'll need you
I'll feed you
Even let ya hold
the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink

I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

======================================================
Picking up from the previous episode:

Ah Kok was caught littering and was subsequently told to do C.W.O. at Marina Bay for a day. Sad as he was, he still turned up on that fateful Friday morning for his C.W.O. As he was mechanically picking up the litter from the vast green field at Marina Bay, he unconsciously came to this tree. This may be an ordinary tree to most but to Ah Kok, it was a unique tree. For it was at this same tree, half a year ago, Ah Kok sat for many sleepless night before arriving at an important decision. The decision to let go of a special kite that he has been holding onto for many years. Today, Ah Kok is at the same spot again. A sudden urge to find that special kite came over Ah Kok. He slowly retraced his steps to the same branch where he last tied the string of that kite. Indeed, a string was tied there. But was it the same string that was attached to Ah Kok's kite? Ah Kok did not know for sure. Nevertheless, he decided to follow the string.

Memories of happy times spent together with the kite flooded Ah Kok's mind and soon a gentle smile appeared on his face. The walk down memory lane was sweet but short. As the string Ah Kok was following abruptly came to an end. He looked frantically around for any sign of that same kite that he had let go half a year ago. Just as Ah Kok was about to give up. A sudden gust of wind blew past; No, it was not someone breaking wind in his direction. It was really just the wind. A kite came floating down from a tree not far from where Ah Kok was standing. During that brief moment in time when the kite was falling, he knew for sure that it was that same kite...........

Ok! Question time: If you were Ah Kok, what would you do? Would you pick up the kite and put to waste those sleepless nights spent on deciding to let go of the kite? Or will you follow through the decision made half a year ago? Just before you made your decision let me tell you people an old father story. (Actually wanted to write "old GRANDFATHER story", but how to write grandfather stories when my nu'er and nu'xu men still haven't let me carry grandchild yet! And by the way, 7-11 stores wouldn't close down if you people stop buying 'it' from them. Really! It didn't close down when I stop buying 'it' from them....

The story : "Many, many years back, lao ba remember that I used to have a friend who also like to fly kite. Actually it was this same friend who introduced lao ba to kite flying and told me about the true meaning of kite flying. This friend once said," If William Snakespeare* says that life is like a stage where everyone plays a role. Then let me be the the fool who is flying the kite on this stage." I also remember this friend telling me that the most difficult part of kite flying is not getting the kite to fly but it is in letting go of a flying kite. Initially, I could not understand what this friend meant. But as I begin to understand and appreciate the art of kite flying, it grew harder and harder for me to let go of a flying kite.

*This is not a typo error. He is just another one of lao ba's friend.

Alright! After hearing about the true meaning of kite flying, have you people decided on how today's episode should end? I hope all of you have. For I am not going to write my ending this time.

(男)
半夜睡不着觉
把心情哼成歌
只好到屋顶找
另一个梦境

(女)
睡梦中被敲醒
我还是不确定
怎曾有动人弦律
在对面的屋顶
我悄悄关上门
带着希望上去
原来是我梦里
常出现的那个人

(男)
那个人不就是
我梦里那模糊的人
我们有同样的默契

(男)用天线
(女)用天线

(合)排成爱你的形状ho ho

(女)在屋顶唱着你的歌
(男)在屋顶和我爱的人
(女)让星星点缀成

(合)
最浪漫的夜晚
拥抱这时刻
这一分一秒
全都停止

(男)爱开始纠结
(女)在屋顶唱着你的歌
(男)在屋顶和我爱的人
(女)将泛黄的的夜献给

(合)
最孤独的月
拥抱这时刻
这一分一秒
全都停止

(男)爱开始纠结

(合)梦有你而美

(女)让我爱你是谁

(男)在屋顶唱着你的歌在屋顶和我爱的人

Success

Success

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

[Often attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, it is an adaptation of a poem published in 1905 by Bessie Stanley.]

最动听

<<最动听>>

歌手:房祖名


昨天晚上我又梦见你
在梦里我看见很美的东西
可能是在睡前想过你
才会梦见你

在梦里
我常常寻寻觅觅寻找着你
是梦而已

在现实里我曾经问过自己是否爱你
还是个游戏

我想要看见你的眼睛
听见你的声音

不管多小声我会用心地听
不管多小声多小声
我也会用心用意在意地听

我想要看见你的眼睛
听见你的声音
不管多小声我会用心地听
不管多小声多小声
因你的声音
在我心
是最为动听

Summer Snow

Summer Snow by Sissel / From A Japanese Serial Show - "Summer Snow"

Summer Snow

It's summer snow in the deep blue sea
I try to touch, but it fades away
It must be a dream
I will never get
Just like my love that's crying for you


If there were something not to change forever
We could feel it deep in our heart
Today is over with a million tears
Still everyone has a wish to live


Oh, I do believe everlasting love
And destiny to meet you again
I feel a pain
I can hardly stand
All I can do is loving you


It's summer snow in the deep blue sea
I try to touch, but it fades away
It must be a dream
I will never get
Just like my love that's crying for you
