Lyric - Go the Distance ("Hercules," Michael Bolton, 1997)

Composed by David Zippel
Written by Alan Menken
Performed by Michael Bolton
Walt Disney Records, 1997





I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though the road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star
I can go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its harms
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

I will search the world
I will face its harms
TillI find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms...

Lyric - Last Christmas (Glee Cast, 2009)

Last Christmas
Written by George Michael
Performed by Glee Cast
2009

[Chorus]
Last christmas
I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
But the very next day
You gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

[Chorus]

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas, Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on (someone to rely on)
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover
But you tore me apart (ooh ohh)
Now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again

[Chorus]

Lyric - Smile (Charlie Chaplin, 1936)

Composer: Charlie Chaplin, 1936
Writer: John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons



Smile though your heart is aching,
Smile even though it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by if you
Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness,
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile
What's the use of crying,
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

Lyric - Don't Make Me Over (Dionne Warwick, 1962)

Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, 1962
Dionne Warwick



Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Don't pick on the things I say
the things I do
Just love me with all my faults
that way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms
and hold me tight
And always be by my side
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
