I was passing by my father called to me and he said to me you better take time in life
(mother) (she)
(brother) (he)
(sister) (she)
Better take time in life, better take time in life, better take time in life
Cause you've got long way to go.
Better take time in life, better take time in life, better take time in life
Cause you've got long way to go.
(repeat for each person)

All Through the Night
1st time:
While the stars are shining brightly
All through the night.
Earth is sleeping, soft and lightly
All through the night.
Rest until the day is dawning
And the sun all things adorning.
Calls the earth to greet the morning
All through the night.
2nd time:
As the sun is setting, at the end of day
Time to stop our play, at the end of day.
Orange and purple skies are fading in the west,
Now is time for rest, sun is in the west.
Time for sleeping now is creeping.
Darkness is upon us as it's time for bed
Rest your weary head, now is time for bed.
3rd time, both parts together

September
Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love
Remember how we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love we shared in September
Only blue talk and love
Remember, the true love we share today
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
And we say
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
The bell was ringing, aha
Our souls were singing
Do you remember
Never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Break it down for me
Say do you remember
Dancing in september
Ba de ya
Say do you remember
Do you remember?
Ba de ya - dancing in September (Dancing in september)
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Higher and Higher https://youtu.be/qlST9IT1ESU
Your love lifted me higher than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, burning with fire, and I'll be at your side forever more
You know your love keep on lifting higher, higher, and higher
You know your love keep on lifting me higher and higher
Now once I was downhearted, disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came, and soon it departed, and it never showed its face again
You know your love keep on lifting higher, higher, and higher
You know your love keep on lifting me higher and higher
