Gonna Build a Mountain, Multiple artists (Sammy Davis Jr., The Monkees, Dusty Springfield, Matt Monro)
I'm gonna build a mountain From a little hill I'm gonna build a mountain At least I hope I will I'm gonna build a mountain I'm gonna build it high I don't know how I'm gonna do it I only know I'm gonna try
I'm gonna build a daydream From a little hope I'm gonna push that daydream Up a mountain slope I'm gonna build a daydream I'm gonna see it through I'm gonna build a mountain and a daydream Gonna make 'em both come true
I'm gonna build a mountain From a little hill I'm gonna build a mountain At least I hope I will Gonna build a mountain Gonna build it high I don't know how I'm gonna do it I only know I'm gonna try
I don't know how I'm gonna do it I only know I'm gonna try
I don't know how I'm gonna do it I only know I'm I don't know how I'm gonna do it I only know I'm How I'm gonna do it I only know I'm gonna try

build a mountain...daydream I just had to use this song, even though they separate the words day and dream.
Daydream The Wallace Collection Notes : Also performed by "Lovin' Spoonful"
What a day for a day dream, What a day for a day dreamin' boy. And I'm lost in a day dream, Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy. And even if time ain't really on my side, It's one of those days for taking a walk outside. I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun, And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn.
I've been havin' a sweet dream, I've been dreamin' since I woke up today, It's starring me in my sweet dream, 'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way, And even if time is passin' me by a lot, I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got. Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load. A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad.
And you can be sure that if you're feelin right A day dream will last a long time into the night. Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears, Or you may be dreamin' for a thousand years.

Daydream ... prick up your ears
Jethro Tull - No Lullaby
Keep your eyes open and prick up your ears Rehearse your loudest cry But there's folk out there who would do you harm So I'll sing you no lullaby
There's a lock on the window, there's a chain on the door And a big dog in the hall But there's dragons and beasties out there in the night To snatch you if you fall
So come out fighting with your rattle in hand Thrust and parry light A match to catch the devil's eye Bring across of fire to the fight
And let no sleep bring false relief From the tension of the fray Come wake the dead with the scream of life Do battle with ghosts at play
And gather your toys at the call of arms And swing your big bear down Upon our necks when we come to set You sleeping safe and sound
It's as well we tell no lie To chase the face that cries And little birds can't fly So keep an open eye It's as well we tell no lie So I sing you no lullaby
It's as well we tell no lie To chase the face that cries And little birds can't fly So keep an open eye It's as well we tell no lie So I sing you no lullaby
Keep your eyes open and prick up your ears Rehearse your loudest cry There's folk out there who would do you harm So I'll sing you no lullaby
There's a lock on the window, there's a chain on the door And a big dog in the hall But there's dragons and beasties out there in the night To snatch you if you fall
So come out fighting with your rattle in hand Thrust and parry light A match to catch the devil's eye Bring across of fire to the fight
And let no sleep bring false relief From the tension of the fray Come wake the dead with the scream of life Do battle with ghosts at play
Gather your toys at the call of arms And swing your big bear down Upon our necks when we come to set You sleeping safe and sound
It's as well we tell no lie To chase the face that cries And little birds can't fly So keep an open eye It's as well we tell no lie So I sing you no lullaby
It's as well we tell no lie To chase the face that cries And little birds can't fly So keep an open eye It's as well we tell no lie So I sing you no lullaby
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

No Lullaby...I'll sing you
I'll Sing You a Song ~Neil Sedak
I'll sing you a song That's in my heart. You'll never know how much you mean to me, My everything. Looking back upon the day we met, my love, I'll cherish that magic day. This love that we share Will never die. I'll hold you close and tuck you in each night That you're with me. And if we are far apart I'll always keep you in my heart Until the day you're back with me again. We'll share our joy, Take it day by day, Who knows what will be, I only know you're right for me. All we have are stolen hours, Make the most of every moment, So I'll sing this song that's in my heart To show I care, That's my gift to you With a love that's true. I'll sing my song My song to you. All we have are stolen hours, Make the most of every moment, So I'll sing this song that's in my heart To show I care, That's my gift to you With a love that's true. I'll sing my song My song to you.
What would you think if I sang out of tune Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away Does it worry you to be alone? How do I feel by the end of the day Are you sad because you're on your own?
No, I get by with a little help from my friends Mmm, get high with a little help from my friends Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody? I need somebody to love Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know it's mine
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mmm, get high with a little help from my friends Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody? I just need someone to love Could it be anybody? I want somebody to love
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends With a little help from my friends

This probably isn't fair because the word "friends" doesn't appear in these limericks. But, heck. I love (still!) the sit com "Friends" so I have to post those lyrics:
I'll Be There for You ~ The Rembrandts
So no one told you life was going to be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA. It's like you're always stuck in second gear, Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight. You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great. Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.
That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me. Seems like you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me. Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with, Someone I'll always laugh with, even at my worst, I'm best with you.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear, Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
As sung by Ray Price, 1954 Songwriters: JONES, STEVE (Ray Price - Rusty Gabbard)
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I never have seen a river that's too wide There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me Ain't no man big enough to stop me I'll Be There if you ever want me by your side.
So love me if you're ever gonna love me I never have seen a road too rough to ride There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me Ain't no man big enough to stop me I'll Be There if you ever want me by your side.
There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me Look for me, honey you will find me Any old time you're ready with your charm I'll Be There ready and a-waitin' There won't be any hesitatin' I'll be here if you ever want me in your arms.
So love me if you're ever gonna love me I never have seen a road too rough to ride There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me Ain't no man big enough to stop me I'll Be There if you ever want me by your side.

quote:
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me I never have seen a river that's too wide There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
That sentiment bears a strong resemblance to the old Supremes hit, Ain't No Mountain High Enough
If you need me Call me No matter where you are No matter how far
Just call my name I'll be there in a hurry On that you can depend and never worry
No wind (no wind) No rain (no rain) No winter's cold Can stop me Babe (Oh Babe) Baby (Baby) If you're not cold
Oh
No wind No rain Can stop me baby if you are gone
I know I know you must follow the sun Wherever it leads But remember If you should fall short of your desires Remember life holds for you one guarantee You'll always have me
And if you should miss my lovin' One of these old (days) If you should ever miss the arms that use(d) to hold you so close Or the lips that use(d) to touch yours so tenderly Just remember What I told you the day I set you free
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough (say it again) Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Nothing can keep me, keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough (one more time) Ain't no river wide enough (say it again) To keep me from you
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

I'll Follow the Sun ~ Beatles
Ain't no mountain high enough ... follow the sun
One day you'll look to see I've gone For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. Some day you'll know I was the one But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. And now the time has come And so my love I must go. And though I lose a friend, In the end you will know, oooh. One day you'll find that I have gone But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. Yes, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun. And now the time has come And so my love I must go. And though I lose a friend, In the end you will know, oooh. One day you'll find that I have gone But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.
