HAPPY XMAS (War is over)

(John Lennon)



"-Happy Christmas, Yoko!"

"-Happy Christmas, John!"



So this is Christmas

and what have you done?

Another year over

and a new one just begun



And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and dear one

the old and the young



(A very merry Christmas

&nbsp;and a happy New Year

&nbsp;Let's hope it's a good one

&nbsp;without any fear)



And so this is Christmas (War is over)

For weak and for strong (If you want it)

For rich and the poor ones (War is over)

The world is so wrong (Now)



And so happy Christmas (War is over)

For black and or white (If you want it)

For yellow and red ones (War is over)

Let's stop all the fight (Now)



(A very merry Christmas

&nbsp;and a happy New Year

&nbsp;Let's hope it's a good one

&nbsp;without ant fear)



And so this is Christmas (War is over)

And what have we done? (If you want it)

Another year over (War is over)

A new one just begun (Now)



And so happy Christmas (War is over)

We hope you have fun (If you want it)

The near and the dear one (War is over)

The old and the young (Now)



(A very merry Christmas

&nbsp;and a happy New Year

&nbsp;Let's hope it's a good one

&nbsp;without any fear)



(War is over, if you want it

&nbsp;war is over now...).



JOHN LENNON &amp; YOKO ONO - 1971

HELLO DETROIT

(Berry Gordy - Willie Hutch)



You're a fighter, your're a lover

you're strong and you recover

from whatever gets you down



And there's so many, many reasons

any time, any season

is the right time, to be with you...



Hello Detroit

you've won my heart

your renaissance and waterfronts

give you a flare of your own



Irresistible you

hug and kissable you

you're alive with so much feeling



And I will always be there for you

I will say a little prayer for you

and I will always care for you... Hello!



Hello Detroit

you've touched my soul

thanks for the memories I cherish so



Winter, spring, summer and fall

you've got it all...

Hello, hello, hello... Hello Detroit!



(instrumental break)



On a stroll through Belle Isle Park

Greektown after dark

you instill in the young the will&nbsp;

to become stars and champions



Hello my friend!

How have you been?

It's in the air, it's everywhere

the magical touch of you



Irresistible you

hug and kissable you

you're alive with so much feeling



And I will always be there&nbsp;for&nbsp;you

I will say a little prayer for you

and I will always care for you... Hello!



A big D! The Motor City

and the Motown sound

that's got the whole world&nbsp;singin'&nbsp;



And I will always be there for you

I will always say a little prayer for you

and I will always care for you... Hello!



(Hello Detroit! Detroit!

&nbsp;Irresistible you

&nbsp;hug and kissable you

&nbsp;you're alive with so much feeling)



(And I will always be there for you

&nbsp;I will say a little prayer for you

&nbsp;I will always care for you... Hello...)



Hello Detroit!

HELLO YOUNG LOVERS

(Rodgers - Hammerstein)

Hello, young lovers wherever you are
oh, I hope that your troubles, they are few
All...&nbsp;All my good wishes, they&nbsp;go with you tonight
yes, I've been in love... Ah,&nbsp;like you

Ah, be brave young lovers and follow your star
ah, be brave and faithful and true
cling very close to each other tonight
yes, I've been in love...&nbsp;Ah,&nbsp;like you!

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
and to fly down&nbsp;the street in&nbsp;a trance
you'll fly down&nbsp;the street on a chance that you will meet
and&nbsp;you'll meet not really by chance

Don't you cry, don't cry&nbsp;young lovers whatever you do
save&nbsp;those&nbsp;tears because I'm all alone
yes, all... All of my memories, they are&nbsp;happy tonight
yes, I've had a love of my own...
I've had a love of my own like yours

I've had a love of my own... 
Of my own....Of my own...
I've had a love of my own...

PAUL ANKA - 1960

HO CAPITO CHE TI AMO

(Luigi Tenco)



Ho capito che ti amo

Quando ho visto che bastava un tuo ritardo

Per sentir svanire in me l’indifferenza

Per temere che tu non venissi più



Ho capito che ti amo

Quando ho visto che bastava una tua frase

Per far sì che una serata come un’altra

Cominciassi per incanto a illuminarsi



E pensare che poco tempo prima

Parlando con qualcuno mi ero messo a dire

Che oramai non sarei più tornado

A credere all’amore, a illudermi e sognare

Ed ecco che poi…



Ho capito che ti amo

E già era troppo tardi per tornare

Per un po’ ho cercato in me l’indifferenza

Poi mi son lasciato andare nell’amore.



LUIGI TENCO - 1964

HOW DEEP IS THE OCEAN
(Irving Berlin)

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
how deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day
do I think of you?
How many roses are
sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
to be where you are?
How far is the journey
from here to a star?

And if I ever lost you
how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

(instrumental break)

And if I ever lost you
how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

KEELY SMITH - 1959

HYMNE À L'AMOUR

(Édith Piaf - Marguerite Monnot)



Le ciel bleu sur nous peut s'effondrer

Et la Terre peut bien s'écrouler

Peu m'importe si tu m'aimes

Je me fous du monde entier



Tant qu'l'amour inond'ra mes matins

Tant que mon corps frémira sous tes mains

Peu m'importe les problèmes

Mon amour, puisque tu m'aimes



J'irais jusqu'au du monde

Je me ferais teindre en blonde

Si tu me le demandais



J'irais décrocher da lune

J'irais voler la fortune

Si tu me le demandais



Je renierais ma patrie

Je renierais mes amis

Si tu me le demandais



On peut bien rire de moi

Je ferais n'importe quoi

Si tu me le demandais



Si un jour la vie t'arrache à moi

Si tu meurs, que tu sois loin de moi

Peu m'importe, si tu m'aimes

Car moi je mourrais aussi



Nous aurons pour nous l'éternité

Dans le bleu de toute l'immensité

Dans le ciel, plus de problèmes

Mon amour, crois tu qu'on s'aime?



(orchestra and choir)



Dieu réunit ceux qui s'aiment!



ÉDITH PIAF - 1950
