And where to find the words to sing its worth?  
This love was bound for heaven, not for earth  
This love was meant to light the stars  
But when we touched, we made it ours

And could they take it back?  
Oh, no, they wouldn’t dare  
Why would they take it back  
When there’s enough  
To share with all the world  
And fill the heavens above  
With leftover love?

And they whirl  
And they twirl and they tango  
Singing and jingling a jangle  
Float like the heavens above  
Looks like Muskrat Love

Oh, let’s all sing with The Chipmunks,  
Follow the bouncing ball!

You may be young,  
You may be short!  
You may be six feet tall!

But we all love to dance and sing,  
And if you sing along,  
We promise fun for everyone,  
So join us in our song!  
We promise fun for everyone,  
So let’s all sing along!

Ben, the two of us need look no more  
We both found what we were looking for  
With a friend to call my own  
I’ll never be alone  
And you, my friend will see  
You’ve got a friend in me (you’ve got ot a friend in me)

You’ve got a friend in me  
You’ve got a friend in me  
When the road looks rough ahead  
And you’re miles and miles from your nice warm bed  
Just remember what your old pal said  
Boy, you’ve got a friend in me  
Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me

I’d kinda like to be the president  
So I can show you how your money’s spent

Why can’t we be friends?  
Why can’t we be friends?  
Why can’t we be friends?  
Why can’t we be friends?

Well, I’m a jet fuel genius  
I can solve the world’s problems without even trying  
I’ve got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends  
That is, as long as I’m buying

Is it any wonder I’m not the president?  
Is it any wonder I’m null and void?

Watching girls go passing by  
It ain’t the latest thing  
I’m just standing in a doorway  
I’m just trying to make some sense  
Out of these girls passing by  
The tales they tell of men  
I’m not waiting on a lady  
I’m just waiting on friend

Waiting all night  
And I said I’m sorry  
Waiting all night  
But you went so far away  
Waiting all night  
Don’t know why you  
Waiting all night  
Left me this way  
Waiting all night  
Just sail on, sail on

Polite and well spoken  
Well heeded and well sane  
They know they’re alive  
When they start to feel pain

You’re staying up all night  
Ooh za za

Up all night

Ooh staying up all night

And that sweet city woman, she moves through the light  
Controlling my mind and my soul  
When you reach out for me, yeah, and the feelin’ is right

That night fever, night fever  
We know how to do it (feel like forever, baby, don’t you lose it)  
Gimme that night fever, night fever  
We know how to show it

Lady, for so many years, I thought I’d never find you  
You have come into my life and made me whole  
Whoa, forever, let me wait to see you each and every morning  
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

I want to hold you close  
Skin pressed against me tight  
Lie still, and close your eyes girl  
So lovely, it feels so right

I want to hold you close  
Soft breasts, beating heart  
As I whisper in your ear  
I want to fucking tear you apart

Tell us what you’ve seen  
In far away forgotten lands  
Where empires have turned back to sand

Wonderful day passing my way  
Knock on my door, and even the score with your eyes..

Lovely to see you again my friend  
Walk along with me to the next bend

The colors of the rainbow  
So pretty in the sky  
Are also on the faces  
Of people going by  
I see friends shaking hands  
Saying “How do you do?”  
They’re really saying  
“I love you”

I see babies cry  
I watch them grow  
They’ll learn much more  
Than I’ll ever know  
And I think to myself  
“What a wonderful world!”  
Yes, I think to myself  
“What a wonderful world!”

How do you do? mmm mmm  
I thought why not, na-na, na-na  
Just me and you  
And then we can, na-na, na-na  
Just like before  
And you will say, na-na, na-na  
Please give me more  
And you will think, na-na, na-na  
Hey, that’s what I am living for

So it’s hard to find  
Someone with that kind of intensity  
You touched my hand I played it cool  
And you reached out your hand for me  
But if our paths never cross  
Well you know I’m sorry but  
If I live to see the seven wonders  
I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end  
I’ll never live to match the beauty again  
The rainbow’s end

Ever just the same  
Ever a surprise  
Ever as before  
Ever just as sure  
As the sun will rise

Tale as old as time  
Tune as old as song  
Bittersweet and strange  
Finding you can change  
Learning you were wrong

'Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, that’s life

Leaning  
Over your fortieth masterpiece  
You must have loved  
The colour of these violins

I wish I knew you  
Your fit of insanity makes me sad

I wish you knew  
Your music was to stay forever
