Dream A Little Dream of Me

My favourite song of all times. Felt like crying when I heard Artie sang it on Glee. Selalu berangan that I can play this song on the piano. Dedicated to hubby, with the hope that he'll win his final hockey match tomorrow. Enjoy!

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "i love you"
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Another Song Thought About

WHENEVER YOU CALL - MARIAH CAREY & BRIAN MCKNIGHT

Love wandered inside

Stronger than you, Stronger than I

And now that it has begun

We cannot turn back

We can only turn into one

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all whenever you call

And I'll always remember the part of you so tender

I'll be the one to catch your fall whenever you call

And I'm truly inspired

(And I'm)

Finding my soul (Finding my soul)

There in your eyes
(There in your eyes)

And you have opened my heart (Have opened my heart)
And lifted me inside
By showing me yourself undisguised

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all whenever you call

And I'll always remember the part of you so tender

I'll be the one to catch your fall whenever you call

And I will breathe for you each day

Comfort you through all the pain

Gently kiss your fears away

You can turn to me and cry

Always understand that I give you all I am inside

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all whenever you call

I won't ever be too far away to feel you

And I won't hesitate at all whenever you call

And I'll always remember that part of you so tender

I'll be the one to catch your fall whenever you call

Whenever you call

Whenever you call

I Saw Her Standing There

I first heard this song when it was performed by Sir Paul McCartney (featuring Dave Grohl on the drums) at the 51st Grammy Awards. Today I heard Tiffany's version of I Saw Him Standing There on Red.fm's Lost in the 80's. I LOVE IT!!! I think my favourite part was "whooh!" So this is today's favourite going-to-work song!

I SAW HER STANDING THERE - THE BEATLES

Well, she was just 17
You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standin' there

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standin' there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Well, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now, I'll never dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine...

Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there

Dance With My Father

I have forgotten all about this song until I heard it again on Astro when they show the AF advert. Such a touching song which never fail to make me teary-eyed.

DANCE WITH MY FATHER - LUTHER VANDROSS

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high

And dance with my mother and me and then

Spin me around till I fell asleep

Then up the stairs he would carry me

And I knew for sure

I was loved

If I could get another chance

Another walk, another dance with him

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

Ooh, ooh

When I and my mother would disagree

To get my way I would run from her to him

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah

Then finally make me do just what my mama said

Later that night when I was asleep

He left a dollar under my sheet

Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance

One final step, one final dance with him

I'd play a song that would never, ever end

'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door

And I'd hear her, mama cryin' for him

I pray for her even more than me

I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm prayin' for much too much

But could You send back the only man she loved

I know You don't do it usually

But Lord, she's dyin' to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep

And this is all I ever dream

Lately

Whether it's Stevie Wonder's, East 17's or Kci & Jojo's version, I love it all the same!

LATELY
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
'Round my mind

Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
With you say no special place to go
But when I ask will you be coming back soon
You don't know, never know

Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
’Cause they always start to cry
’Cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason with your heart

Just the other night while you were sleeping
I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name
But when I ask you of the thoughts your keeping
You just say nothing's changed

Well, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
’Cause they always start to cry
’Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye

Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
I hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
’Cause they always start to cry
’Cause this time could mean goodbye

How Could An Angel Break My Heart

Heard this song on the radio on the way to work. All time favourite and Toni Braxton and Babyface sure knows how to make you cry!

Toni Braxton's How Could An Angel Break My Heart

I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine

I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name

I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wish our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

Muahhhssss!

Lagu best yang didengar on the way to work this morning. Teringat cerita She's All That dan suatu ketika dahulu...

KISS ME
-SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Scene Stealer

I was stuck in the traffic on the way back from work. Apparently there was an accident involving a car and a motorcycle in front of Serdang Hospital. Managed to listen to Red.fm Scene Stealer segment, where a sound from a movie soundtrack is played, as requested by the listeners. Today's song is one of my favourite cheezy song, from the soundtrack of Con Air.

HOW DO I LIVE - TRISHA YEARWOOD

How do I get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be
Oh I, I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul

If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, oh Baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
I
f you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live

Please tell me baby
How do I go on

If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know that you're everything good in my life
And tell me now

How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I
How do I
Oh, how do I live

how do I live without you
how do I live without you baby
how do I live....

Lost in The Musicator

I love listening to Red.fm especially to JD and Dilly on the way to work. Being a [late] 70s baby, my favourite segment has to be Lost in the 80s, where the deejays will play your 80s song requests. They supposedly travel in a time travelling machine, which was dubbed The Musicator, call the person who made the request or read their emails and ask the caller why they chose the song.

Today, one of the listeners requested for Kylie's Hand on Your Heart. His reason: it reminds him of his innocent days. Yup, he said it right. It's such an upbeat song. I was 10 or 11 years old when I became a fan of Kilie Minogue. Who wouldn't fall in love with I Should Be So Lucky and be addicted doing the Locomotion, right? Nowadays, when I hear a Kylie song from her earlier album, I would be reminded of my good friend, Michele Choo Yen Yen who is responsible for making me buy my first Kylie album :o)

Some info I found about Hand On Your Heart from Wikipedia:

"Hand on Your Heart" is a pop–dance song performed by Australian singer Kylie Minogue and written by Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman. It was produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, and received a mixed reception from music critics when it was released as the first single from Minogue’s second album, Enjoy Yourself, in the second quarter of 1989.
The single peaked at number four in Australia and became Minogue's third number one in the United Kingdom. In Australia, the single was available as limited editions 7" and 12" posterbags featuring different artwork to the UK release. In 2006, Swedish singer-songwriter José González released an acoustic cover version of "Hand on Your Heart" as a single. His version peaked at number twenty-nine in the UK.

"Hand on Your Heart" featured a colourful music video that was directed by Chris Langman and filmed in Minogue's hometown Melbourne,Australia in March 1989. The video features Minogue dancing in a modernistic house. Dressed in vibrant colours of red, blue and yellow, Minogue travels from room to room, dancing playfully for the camera. A live version of the video was also released and featured Minogue performing a special "live remix" in Japan, both versions featured in Kylie's Greatest Hits 87-97 DVD.

An alternate version of the "Hand on your heart" video was broadcast on UK TV pre-release yet has never been screened again. On this version Kylie's shoes spin on camera and introduce all three of her new outfits of matching colours. Only one "shoe spin" remains on the final version, featured on her Ultimate DVD.

Seen as a cheap video, and Kylie herself has made it clear she felt uncomfortable during the filming, it is however a fan-favourite camp-Kylie moment. Released to music video channels prior to the single's commercial release, the video was a hit, gaining significant airplay on music video channels. The video was released commercially on the Ultimate Kylie companion DVD, released in December 2004.

On April 24, 1989, "Hand on Your Heart" was released in the United Kingdom. The song became Minogue's second song to debut at number two on the singles chart, before it peaked at number one the following week. On its third week it was replaced on the top of the chart by the UK Hillsborough disaster charity single "Ferry Cross the Mersey" by The Christians, Holly Johnson, Paul McCartney, Gerry Marsden and Stock, Aitken and Waterman. "Hand on Your Heart" also topped the UK Dance and Indie charts.

The song was one of the first singles to sell well on cassette, selling 2,000 copies in the first week of release. This would have been enough to have Minogue enter in at number one, something no female had ever done at the time, but the cassette single was not an eligible format for the chart at the time, meaning The Bangles stayed at number one with "Eternal Flame". Because of this the rules were quickly changed so that cassette singles were allowed.

Outside of the UK, the song was also successful. It reached number four in Australia and became Minogue's fifth top five single on the singles chart. In reached the top ten in Finland, France, Japan, and South Africa and the top twenty in Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Sweden.

HAND ON YOUR HEART - KYLIE MINOGUE

Put your hand on your heart and tell me

That we're through, oohOh,
Put your hand on your heart, hand on your heart



Well it's one thing to fall in love
But another to make it last
I thought that we were just begining
And now you say we're in the past
Oh, look me in the eye and tell me we are really through
You know it's one thing to say you love me
But another to mean it from the heart
And if you don't intend to see it through
Why did we ever start
Oh, I wanna hear you tell me you don't want my love


Put your hand on your heart and tell me, It's all over,
I won't believe it till you put your hand on your heart and tell me
That we're through, oohOh
Put your hand on your heart, Hand on your heart


They like to talk about forever
But most people never get the chance
Do you wanna lose our love together
Do you find a new romance
Oh, I wanna hear you tell me you don't want my love


Put your hand on your heart and tell me, It's all over,
I won't believe it till you put your hand on your heart and tell me
That we're through, oohOh
Put your hand on your heart, Hand on your heart

Oh, put your hand on your heart, Hand on your heart
(Hand on your heart) Hand on your heart
(Hand on your heart)Hand on your heart
Oh, look me in the eye and tell me we are really through


Put your hand on your heart and tell me, It's all over,
I won't believe it till you put your hand on your heart and tell me
That we're through, oohOh
Put your hand on your heart, Hand on your heart

All Time Favourite

Heard this song on the way to work. This remains my all-time favourite :o)


I JUST CALLED TO SAY I LOVE YOU - STEVIE WONDER

No new years' day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact it's just another ordinary day


No april rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart


No summers high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies


No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart


I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart, of my heart


*Yes, cheezy is my middle name...hihi

Sunyi

Teringat zaman 'rock kapak' bila dengar lagu nih kat radio on the way to work :o)


SEPI
GERSANG


Sunyinya malam ini
Tiada bulan, tiada bintang
Hanyalah kedengaran ombak di pantai
Hatiku tersusuk sayu dan pilu
Mengenangkan nasib diri di rantauan


Kasih di mana dikau
Masihkah ada rindu
Hatiku seperti dulu
Jangan biar dia membeku
Mengharap cinta yang dipandu
Tak inginku sendiri lagi


Oh teman di manakah dia
Tidak kelihatan
Ku tertunduk malu menjelma
Aku seperti dulu sunyi
Aku seperti dulu sunyi


Sepi diri ini
Aku sendiri lagi

1-2-3

Heard this song on my way back from work yesterday. I remembered it being my favourite song back when I was in Standard 5 or 6.


1-2-3
Miami Sound Machine

They tell me you're shy boy
But I want you just the same
Don't play innocent with me
You know it's not just fun and games


When I look into your eyes
So much passion burns inside
But if you need some coaxing
I will do it
Step by step there's nothing to it


1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you're mine


Come out of your shell boy
You know we go like hand in glove
You're afraid of giving in
But I am never giving up on your love


And no matter what it takes
I will steal your heart away
Take a chance for once
You won't regret it
Take my love just come and get it


1-2-3-4 come on baby say you love me
5-6-7 times
8-9-10-11 I'm just gonna keep on counting
Until you are mine
