Yesterday ~ The Beatles
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here
to stay Oh, I believe In yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday Came suddenly

Why she Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say - I said
Something wrong now I long
For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe In yesterday

Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said Something wrong
now I long For yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe In yesterday

(hum to "I believe in yesterday")

Turn Turn Turn
(Chorus)
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose,
under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
(Chorus)
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a
time to gather stones together
(Chorus)
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time
to refrain from embracing
(Chorus)
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear
its not too late

Dream a Little Dream of Me
Notably sung by Doris Day (who, in 1957, was the first singer to record it at the slow tempo it had been written in

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Yes, dream a little dream of me
