born April 21 1926: Queen Elizabeth GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
God save our gracious QueenLong live our noble Queen
God save the QueenSend her victoriousHappy and glorious
Long to reign over usGod save the Queen
O Lord our God, ariseScatter her enemiesAnd make them fall
Confound their politicsFrustrate their knavish tricksOn Thee our hopes we fix
God save us all
Not in this land aloneBut be God's mercies known
From shore to shoreLord make the nations seeThat all should kindred be
And form one familyThe wide world over

born Apr 3 1924 Doris DaySENTIMENTAL JOURNEY 1944
Gonna take a sentimental journeyGonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journeyTo renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservationSpent each dime I could affordLike a child in wild anticipationLong to hear that "All aboard!"
Seven!That's the time we leave
At sevenI'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track That takes me back
Never thought My heart could be so yearnyWhy did I decide to roam?
Gotta take this sentimental journeySentimental journey home

born Apr 4 1895 Arthur MurrayCHEEK TO CHEEK 1935
Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd the cares that hung around me
through the weekSeem to vanish
like a gambler’s lucky streakWhen we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheekOh, I love to go out fishing
in a river or a creekBut I don’t enjoy it half as much
as dancing cheek to cheek
Dance with me
I want my arms about youThe charms about youWill carry me through
To Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing Dancing and romancing
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

born Apr 7 1915 Billie HolidayGOD BLESS THE CHILD 1941
Them that’s got shall getThem that’s not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is newsMama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that’s got his ownThat’s got his own
Yes, the strong gets moreWhile the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don’t ever make the gradeMama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that’s got his ownThat’s got his own
Money, you’ve got lots of friendsCrowding round the door
When you’re gone, and spending endsThey don’t come no more
Rich relations giveCrust of bread and such
You can help yourselfBut don’t take too much
Mama may have, Papa may haveBut God bless the child that’s got his own
That’s got his own
born Apr 25 1918 Ella Fitzgeraldborn Apr 29 1899 Duke Ellington
I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT 1945
I never cared much for moonlit skiesI never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyesI'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglowOr candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down lowI'm beginning to see the light
Used to ramble through the parkShadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a sparkThat's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern-shineI never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mineI'm beginning to see the light

ANGEL BAND 1862
My latest sun is sinking fastMy race is nearly run
My longest trials now are pastMy triumph has begun
Oh come, angel bandCome and around me stand
Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home
Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home
I know I'm near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dearI brush the dew on Jordan's banks
The crossing must be near
Oh come, angel bandCome and around me stand
Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home
Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home
I've almost gained my heavenly home My spirit loudly sings
The holy ones, behold they come I hear the noise of wings
Oh come, angel bandCome and around me stand
Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home
Bear me away on your snow white wingsTo my immortal home

born Apr 14 1935 Loretta LynnDON'T COME HOME A-DRINKIN' 1966
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up When you came home last nightYou'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tightLiquor and love, they just don't mix
Leave that bottle or me behindAnd don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town And see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love Well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind
You never take me anywhereBecause you're always goneMany a night I've laid awake
And cried, dear, all aloneThen you come in a-kissin' on me
It happens every timeSo don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town And see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love Well you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin' With lovin' on your mind

born Apr 16 1939 Dusty SpringfieldI ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU 1963
I don't know what it isThat makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go'Cause you've started something
Oh, can't you see?That ever since we met
You've had a hold on meIt happens to be true
I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you goOr what you doI want to spend
Each moment of the day with youOh, look what has happened
With just one kissI never knew that I could be
In love like thisIt's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at meAnd asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open armsAnd I didn't stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're togetherHoney, I don't care
'Cause you've started somethingOh, can't you see?
That ever since we metYou've had a hold on meNo matter what you do
I only want to be with you

TOP HIT: #5 1966HOMEWARD BOUND
I'm sittin' in the railway stationGot a ticket for my destinationOn a tour of one-night-stands
My suitcase and guitar at handAnd every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band
Homeward bound, I wish I was Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Every day's an endless dream Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to meThe movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound, I wish I was Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs againI'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to meIn shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmonyI need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound, I wish I was Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me

TOP HIT: #6 1966NOWHERE MAN
He's a real nowhere manSitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of viewKnows not where he's going toIsn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listenYou don't know what you're missing
Nowhere ManThe world is at your command
He's as blind as he can beJust sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man, can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, don't worryTake your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody elseLends you a hand!
Doesn't have a point of viewKnows not where he's going toIsn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listenYou don't know what you're missing
Nowhere ManThe world is at your command
He's a real nowhere manSitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobodyMaking all his nowhere plans for nobodyMaking all his nowhere plans for nobody

born Apr 29 1933 Willie NelsonCRAZY
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonelyI'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wantedAnd then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?Wondering what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold youI'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold youI'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

May the Lord protect and defend youMay He always shield you from shame
May you come to beIn Israel a shining name
May you be like Ruth and like EstherMay you be deserving of praise
Strengthen them, oh LordAnd keep them from the stranger's ways
May God bless you and grant you long lives(May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.)
May God make you good mothers and wives(May He send you husbands who will care for you.)
May the Lord protect and defend youMay the Lord preserve you from pain
Favor them, oh Lord, with happiness and peaceOh hear our Sabbath prayer
Amen

Moon riverWider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Dream makerYou heart breaker
Wherever you're goingI'm going your way
Two driftersOff to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bendMy huckleberry friend
Moon riverAnd me

born Apr 21 1926 Queen ElizabethWE'LL MEET AGAIN 1939
We'll meet againDon't know whereDon't know when
But I know we'll meet again Some sunny day
Keep smiling throughJust like you always do
Till the blue skies chase those Dark clouds far away
So will you please say hello To the folks that I knowTell them I won't be longThey'll be happy to know That as you saw me goI was singing this song
We'll meet againDon't know whereDon't know when
But I know we'll meet again Some sunny day
