You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya_

It's easy if you try

No hell below us, above us only sky_

3. "Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all

I'm on your side when times get rough

And friends just can't be found_

You've been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons_

You taste so bitter and so sweet

Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling_

I've hungered for your touch

A long, lonely time

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much_

7. "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel

_Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping_

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me_

9. "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles

_No one I think is in my tree

I mean it must be high or low

That is you can't you know tune in

But it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad_

10. "Fix You" by Coldplay

_Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?_
