1. Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to
Dream really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
A way up from the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then oh why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?
2. Fly to Your Heart
(Selena Gomez)
Watch all the flowers
Dance with the wind
Listen to snowflakes
Whisper your name
Feel all the wonder lifting your dreams
You can fly
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
When you believe you’ll find your wings
Fly to your heart
Touch every rainbow
Painting the sky
Look at the magic
Glide through your life
A sprinkle of pixie dust circles the night
You can fly
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
When you believe you’ll find your wings, fly
Everywhere you go
Your soul will find a home
You’ll be free to spread your wings
Fly, you can fly to your heart
3. Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff’s gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant’s rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
4. I Don't Want to Live on the Moon
(Song by Ernie and Shawn Colvin)
Well, I’d like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I’d like to visit the moon
But I don’t think I’d like to live there
Though I’d like to look down at the Earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don’t want to live on the moon
I’d like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I’d travel under the sea
But I don’t think I’d like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there’s not much to do
When your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam are not real family
So I don’t want to live in the sea
I’d like to visit the jungle
Hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There’s so many strange places I’d like to be
But none of them permanently
So, if I should visit the moon
Well, I’ll dance on a moonbeam and then
I would make a wish on a star
And I’ll wish I was home once again
Though I’d like to look down at the Earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go, I’ll be coming home soon
‘Cause I don’t want to live on the moon
5. The Second Star to the Right
(Song by Judd Conlon)
The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that’s rare
And if it’s Never Land you need
It’s light will lead you there
Twinkle, twinkle little star
So I’ll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead me to the one who loves me
And when you lead him away
Each time we say “Goodnight”
We’ll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right
6. Where Does the Time Go
(Song by A Great Big World)
Where does the time go?
I don’t want this to end
Where does the time go?
Let’s hang on to the moment we’re in
Of all the things we will remember
The good, the bad, and all the blessings in disguise
Today will stick with me forever
Even if we have to say goodbye
Where does the time go?
I keep losing track
Where does the time go?
We’re too young to get lost looking back
Life doesn’t always give us answers
Some dots they won’t connect until the years go by
If we’re not meant to be together
Some day we’ll know the reasons why
Where does the time go?
I don’t want this to end
Where does the time go?
Let’s hang on to the moment we’re in
7. Do-Re-Mi
(A song from the film, The Sound of Music)
Let’s start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read, you begin with A-B-C
When you sing, you begin with Do-Re-Mi
Do-Re-Mi
Do-Re-Mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-Re-Mi
Do-Re-Mi
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti
Alright, I’ll make it easier. Listen.
Do, (Doe) a deer, a female deer
Re,(Ray) a drop of golden sun
Mi, (Me) a name, I call myself
Fa, (Far) a long, long way to run
So, (Sew) a needle pulling thread
La, (La) a note to follow So
Ti, (Tea) a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do, oh, oh, oh
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do, So-Do
