Before You – Chantal Kreviazuk

This is another sweet Canadian classic from about 1999.

Before You – Chantal Kreviazuk

Baby, before you
Well, I was bad news
In lettin’ me love you
I think I can get through

Oh, baby before you
Well, I was so scared
I was a train wreck waitin’ to happen
On the way to nowhere

And now I think it’s kinda funny that you say you love me
You tell me that I’m crazy then you smile

And now I think I’ll get through the end of the world
And now I think I’ll get through bein’ a girl
Now I think I’ll get through anything
And now I think I’ll get through

Now honey around you
Well, I’m feelin’ so good
‘Cause you picked me up out of the rough
And you polished me up and made me brand new

And baby before you, ho ho
There was just a black hole
Yeah, I was beat down, blacked out
My darling you couldn’t even know

But ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can’t believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I’ll get through the end of the world
And now I think I’ll get through life as a girl
Now I think I’ll get through anything
Now I think I’ll get through

Ever since I met you on a cloudy Monday
I can’t believe how much I love the rain

And now I think I’ll get through the end of the world
And now I think I’ll get through life as a girl
Now I think I’ll get through anything
Now I think I’ll get through

Oh oh, now I think I’ll get through
Oh, now I think I’ll get through
Oh oh, and now I think I’ll get through

And now I think I’ll get through
Oh, and now I think I’ll get through
Oh, and now I think I’ll get through
Oh, and now I think I’ll get through

Will Ye Go Lassie Go – Lark and Spur

This isn’t really a pop song, but I love all types of music and this too beautiful to not share! So I must share with you.  This is Celtic style of music, perhaps Irish or Scottish.

Will Ye Go Lassie Go – Lark and Spur

Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
Chorus
And we’ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

I will build my love a tower
Near yon’ pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, Lassie go?

If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

Wide Awake – Katy Perry

Wide Awake – Katy Perry

“Wide Awake”

I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake

I’m wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
(I’m wide awake)
How did I read the stars so wrong?
(I’m wide awake)
And now it’s clear to me
That everything you see
Ain’t always what it seems
(I’m wide awake)
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

[Pre-Chorus:]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn’t dive in
Wouldn’t bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
‘Til I woke up on
On the concrete

[Chorus:]
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I’m letting go tonight
Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine

I’m wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I’m wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no

I’m wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion’s den
I don’t have to pretend
And it’s too late
The story’s over now, the end

[Pre-Chorus:]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn’t dive in
Wouldn’t bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
‘Til I woke up on
On the concrete

[Chorus:]
Falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue)
I’m crashing from the high
I’m letting go tonight (yeah, I’m letting you go)
I’m falling from cloud nine

(I’m wide awake)
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
(I’m wide awake)
I am trying to hold on
(I’m wide awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
(I’m wide awake)
I’m not blind anymore…

I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake

[Chorus:]
Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine (it was out of the blue)
Crashing from the high
You know I’m letting go tonight (yeah, I’m letting you go)
I’m falling from cloud nine

I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
